Story Cafe is run by Edinburgh charity Comas, The Story Café ploughs all profits back into its social initiatives, helping people in recovery and poverty in the city. An overarching philanthropic approach is reflected throughout, from the wall hangings made by Comas community members to the volunteers helping to run the place. Despite a tiny kitchen, the menu extends to some heartier options as well as the expected baked potatoes, soup and sandwiches. A bowl of dhal is simply cooked but flavoursome, topped with roast peppers and raw spinach leaves. This bright modern space, next to historic John Knox House, will no doubt always be a popular location with families and locals in-the-know as well as tourists trundling down the Royal Mile. It is also a dependable spot for sustenance after or before one of the many storytelling events at this busy centre.
