Question

Which is the best (and possibly cheap) tea room in Edinburgh?

Answer 1

God there are hundreds! There is a swedish artisan bakery and cafe in the meadows called Peter's Yard, it is lovely, it is open until 11 pm each night, you can sit outside and watch the world go by, they provide blankets if you get a bit chilly. The tea is in leaves form not a bag, and the tea pots are awesome as are the tea cups you get. all this makes for a really nice cup of tea with great surroundings, its not too expensive for Edinburgh, think it cost about £4 for an earl grey and a regular tea, but this gave 2 and a half cups from one tea pot. Go try it, its really nice. Here's a link about it;

Find all the tea rooms on this web page.

The one at Tollcross is called Two thin LADDIES although I can understand your confusion as I've been there.

The Elephant House is where J K Rowling goes to write.
