MILK

I've been living in Haymarket for about 6 months now, and my main let down about the area, aside from the junkies and drunks, is that none of my favourite cafes are in the area. 
I've been missing being able to roll out of bed, walk a couple of minutes down the road, sit down and have a lovely coffee with my crossword (My idea of heaven).
Then... I found MILK. 
Not the drink, obviously, this is a vegan blog people, keep up, it's a cute little cafe on Morrison Street. I say found, but I've been walking past this cafe for the last 6 months and have never gone in. Then one day last week I was looking up cafes that are involved in the slow food movement serving fresh, local produce and I found them listed, alongside a tonne of great reviews.
I was not let down in the slightest, not only are the girls that work there absolutely lovely, the coffee is fantastic, they have soy milk (an extra 20p, as always), AND vegan food! 
So far I've tried a delicious roast red pepper, aubergine and cashew pesto wrap... three times. A quinoa, wild rice, orange and pistachio salad (amaaaaaazing) and this morning I had porridge with banana and muscovado sugar.
As accurately described on their website:

All our sandwiches, hot food, salads and home baking are served up straight away to sit in, or to take away in 100% compostable packaging.

Our seasonally changing menu is freshly prepared here at Milk using only natural ingredients, plenty of fresh herbs and more than a bit of love and passion for what we do.

We aim to serve food that is quick, nutritious, tasty and environmentally sound.

And they do all that plus more, very, very well. Glad to finally found my new local, my only regret is that I only have six weeks left in Edinburgh to enjoy it.
