Take a look to see which ones tickles your taste buds, from cheese toasties at Cairngorm Coffee in the West End and indulgent cakes at Mimi's Corstorphine, to refreshing bubble teas at the Tempo Tea Bar and yummy global cuisine at Tony Singh.
The cafe has already made a name for itself in its other locations of Leith and the Old Town, and now the Corstorphine branch is only a short stroll away from Edinburgh Zoo making it handy for those afternoon cake treats after a visit to see the penguins and pandas - perfect for a family day out!
Mammoth cheese toasties, frothy artisan coffees and decadent slabs of cake await residents of the West End who pop in to the new branch of Cairngorm Coffee, which recently opened its doors on Melville Place.
Following roaring success at their Frederick Street site, the famed cheese toastie merchants are expanding their offering to the West End of the city, which will be a welcome addition to those craving a special lunchtime coffee and toastie fix.
Look out for this Wind and the Willows inspired bar and restaurant which has just popped up on Edinburgh's Castle Street.

I had chosen the venison main course and loved the full bodied Biondi-Santi Braccale which was rich with morello cherry flavour and a touch of spice which was the perfect foil for my main.
The thick fishy bisque was full of the flavours of the sea with no shortage of fresh cockles and mussels (not alive, alive, oh)You couldn't accuse chef of scrimping on portion size as there was a ton of tender squid resting on top of the butterbean base and a crispy skin sea bream fillet finished the dish off.
During a short break we finished our wine and cast our eye over the choice of desserts although Nicola had decided an hour earlier that she would be having the Apple Tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream, regardless.
The Pompadour Tarte Tatin was no accident, a perfect balance of flaky buttery pastry and soft apples in a caramel sauce with a wonderful creamy vanilla ice cream on the side.
We've eaten a lot of Michelin starred food over the last few years plus enjoyed more than our fair share of AA Rosette meals too but I can honestly say that the Saturday lunch at Pompadour by Galvin was one of the best meals that we have eaten.

With plenty of pavement space for its seasonal outdoor terrace on its street corner, the whole set-up exudes a relaxed French vibe.
The food is a melting pot of French, North African and Scottish influences, so expect everything from tagines to deep-fried haggis balls to deftly cooked lamb with saffron couscous.
There’s always a fresh fish of the day, as well as classic steaks and a couple of veggie options for good measure.
Puddings venture into the classics – think crème brulée, sticky toffee pudding, or crumble.
Set lunch and dinner options are very reasonably priced and should satisfy event the fussiest of eaters.
