Tea rooms with extensive range of unusual teas served by the pot.
Just off George Street in the centre of the New Town. Eteaket also does free tea-tastings on Wednesday mornings. A great place for proper afternoon tea, as well as light lunches.

A great place to stop for tea and excellent scones.
Slightly out of the city centre, but worth the stroll across the Meadows or a bus ride to the well-heeled suburb Of Morningside. There are plenty of independent shops along Morningside Road for a pleasant browse.

Plaisir is the chocolate-lover's G-spot. Hot chocolate, bitter with chillies or creamy with creme de chantilly and whisky; towering three-layer gateaux of pear and ganache; bon-bons; tartes and brioches. Baudelaire decorates the floor; silver samavars the walls. Ideally, have the gateaux OR the hot chocolate - both can kill you! (Also serves dozens of teas - but not coffee).
