They offer delicious home-baked pastries, stunning cakes, tray bakes, truffles, sweet and savory scones, epic brownies, soups of the day, and sandwiches, along with great locally roasted coffee. The selection varies daily based on demand and season. Since I couldn't try everything in one go, I chose a coconut scone and a biscoff cake, accompanied by a hot chai latte. It satisfied my breakfast cravings, but additional savory options would have been awesome too.

Grabbed a takeaway from the famous hog roll spot in Edinburgh, Oink! Specializing in hog roast (or pulled pork) rolls, Oink lets you customize your sandwich. The pulled pork is the real deal—they literally pull it right in front of you. We got a sandwich to enjoy on the train, and the star of the show was the crackling, the crispy pork skin on top. My only wish? More kick in the chili cheese sauce—I couldn't really taste the spiciness! 🤣

Fantastic live music spot in Manchester, a mere 15-minute stroll from the city center. The ambiance is fantastic, and the crowd engages enthusiastically with the musicians. Both drink prices and ticket rates are reasonable. The only drawback is the limited seating, which can be a bit tiring when standing for hours during the shows. 🎶

Had an extraordinary time at Timberyard, a prestigious 1-Michelin star restaurant in Edinburgh. Renowned for its commitment to quality, the restaurant sources ingredients from small artisan growers and suppliers. Opted for the 3-course lunch (£60) and chose the beef tartare, pheasant, and vanilla dessert. Every dish was a masterpiece—perfectly seasoned tartare, tender pheasant, and a dessert that harmonized wonderfully with their caramel sauce. An exquisite dining experience! 🌟🍽️

The Last Drop stands out among Edinburgh's pubs due to its haunting theme. Located near the historic execution site in Grassmarket, it carries a dark history from the time of King Charles II. The area witnessed frequent hangings until February 4, 1784, with James Andrews being the last person executed. The pub's name is a grim reference to the last drink taken by prisoners before their execution. Interiors tell this chilling tale with pictures, stories, and hanging loops. While I didn't try the food, the compelling theme alone made it a worthwhile spot to enjoy drinks. 🍻
