Archipelago Bakery

Profiteering gone mad. £1.85 for a coffee is acceptable. But an additional 25p for a splash of cold milk is beyond a joke. Bringing the total to £3.10 for a small americano with cold milk (takeaway. If the owner thinks her local custom base are mugs then good luck. It's £1.70 for four pints of milk over the road at Tesco. That's enough for around 50 cups of tea or coffee - or a near 750% profit on the milk mark up. I was advised that the owner - Caroline - insisted on the charge.
This is actually not about the charge - outrageous profiteering though it surely is. I handed back my coffee as

An expensive place and a few errors that made it not worth it. Food served way to hot, napkin was beneath the rice so rice spilled everywhere to reach it, green tea was served with boiling water so undrinkable for a while and then burnt tasting, the one vegan cake option accidentally had a dairy ingredient on that day so they couldn't serve it. Takeaway options much cheaper than sitting in

Very much enjoyed my time here. The food and drinks were tasty, staff was friendly and I loved the range of products they had on offer. Will definitely go again.

Lovely selection of scones, cakes, breads etc. With specials on daily too. Lovely helpful staff. Great coffee. Nice cosy cafe atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Grabbed a quick late lunch here Tuesday 24th August 2021 - Brie roll and five bean roll - it was a bit late and they didn't have much left - wasn't sure if it might be a bit 'dried up' but was actually wonderful and very tasty indeed. lovely friendly staff thank you!

This has become my favourite spot for a coffee and a sweet treat in the New Town. Their coffee is quite nice but the cakes and baked goods are outstanding. Stop by and try it!

Heaven is a place on earth called Archipelago Artisan Bakery!
What a lovely wee place! The staff was exceptionally helpful & the coffee was just delightful. Last week my husband tried their granola bar, I tried their brie cheese sandwich and they were god damn good!
If you are looking for glorious baked goods & cozy ambiance , Archipelago is the place to go!

Best sandwich I have ever had in Edinburgh so far! Such delicious baguette bread!!! I love the oat flat white as well. Definitely come back again❤️

Very tasty take away or sit in sandwiches, breads, cakes and more. Bit on the pricey side but worth it!

Amazing selection of daily made pastries. Gluten free for those that need it. Friendly family atmosphere. No laptops. The cinnamon buns were amazing. Definitely a place to stop.

Really fabulous organic sourdough breads. I also really enjoyed their brownies and date cookies. Probably the best bread I had in Edinburgh. I was a tad less impressed with their sconces, so cannot really recommend them.

I discovered this amazing place by accident - it started raining as I was walking by to I ran in for a coffee. Their croissants looked delicious and I tried one. It was the best one I have had in a year or so! Their coffee is not bad as well. It is by far the best bakery in the neighborhood.

Changing locations soon but offer gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options which they tweet and share on facebook.

Mainly take away and open till around 3pm each day as all products are freshly made on the premises each day.

Had gf bread from here, straight out the oven. It was small but tasty and lasted a couple of days. Soup options commonly offered too so popular for the lunchtime crowd.
