    “If I could give higher than 5/5 I would. The service as soon as we arrived was warm and welcoming. The team were very attentive and the selection of cakes was amazing. My partner who is a celiac felt so special with such an excellent range. The cakes were some of the best gluten free cakes I have ever tried and the coffee was good too. The lady serving today was a total superstar. Friendly, warm, welcoming and attentive. Excellent all round. Would highly recommend to anyone but especially people avoiding gluten! Thank you so much, will be back when we can.”

We will be back again.”

    “A charming little gem tucked away in Edinburgh, L’Étoile Salon de Tea is a delightful French-style café that punches well above its weight. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast or simply looking for a cosy spot to relax, this place delivers on all fronts. The drinks menu is varied, with a wonderful selection of teas alongside other beverages — all at very reasonable prices. The food is where this café truly shines. The soup was absolutely fantastic- rich, flavourful, and warming. We opted for the baguette combo which was very filling. The pastries and macarons were nothing short of amazing. Beautifully made and utterly delicious. Gluten free options available. The intimate atmosphere gives it a genuine Parisian café feel, making it the perfect escape from the bustle of the city. A lovely experience from start to finish — highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh looking for quality food and drink in a relaxed, charming setting. We will definitely be returning the next time we travel to Edinburgh.”
