TLDR: Yes yes yes
I popped in here for a couple hours to work on a paper, and it was an amazing place to work. There's not a lot of seating inside but I got lucky and snagged a spot at the center table facing the bar. I love that view. Watching happy people come in and order drinks from other happy people who are happy to make them. Also, the music they were playing truly slapped. Early 2000's era jams really jazzed me up. The Barista's were friendly and even offered me a free pain au chocolate at closing time when they were packing up (Shhhh don't tell the managers).
The cortado was good. Nothing to write home about itself, but nothing to complain about. I'd go back.

Dua did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend.
It was recommended by a very respected coffee professional, so I had to check it out. Delicious cappuccino. Then I ordered piccolo. Also, super delicious. The espresso was crispy. Clear and soft. Not sharp or bitter. It was the perfect piccolo.
Seating is a bit tricky. There’s an outside seating that would be nice on good days. And some sitting in the back was well used.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff for sure. And yes there’s Wi-Fi.

This was a great spot. I enjoyed my coffees and the small space. There’re six indoor tables and 2-3 outside. Outlets at each inside and they seemed fine with me staying a while.
Coffee is ok. A bit on the flavorless end of dark. Like, too much deep dark.
They do have two sizes of flat white, which is an oxymoron. It’s not a flat white if you have a large size. Right? It’s a latte.
Otherwise the vibe is great and I may come back in the evening since it’s one of the few places with later hours.

When I got off the train in Edinburgh, this is the first place I went. I made a beeline for it. It’s open an hour later than most shops, and that’s a good enough reason. Not to mention the super friendly staff and delish coffee. It was very good!
