Bakery Andante

Average cafe for Edinburgh, the food and service was good, though a bit slow as they’re evidently struggling with being understaffed. Despite this, the gentleman at the counter was kind and patient while answering any questions I had regarding food.
The leek and potato soup with sourdough was unfortunately a let down as it was entirely blended and the consistency of baby food. 😅 I love purée soups but I think some potato chunks and bits of leek were really needed here. Flavour was bland as well. We ended up tossing half our soup due to texture alone. The sourdough bread was a bit of a let down flavour wise and left a lot to be desired especially with the toasted thin slices served… thicker cut would have been much better.
Onto the sandwich however! This was a pleasant surprise as I wasn’t expecting much- it was delicious! The “scrambled egg” is actually more of a jammy egg scrambled and is a wonderful flavour consistency with bits of soft boiled yolk, the chive worked exceptionally well mixed in.
Overall it’s a good stop for a quick takeaway but it’s not somewhere I would go out of my way to get food from again.
