Scottish National Portrait Gallery Cafe
Fri, 30/12/2011 - 5:07pm — Mctavishhttp://www.nationalgalleries.org/visit/café
Newly refurbished Portrait Gallery is a lovely building with wonderful exhibits. Before or after your visit to the galleries, a visit to the cafe is a must. It can be very busy at lunch times, and it's self service, so it's best to avoid the crowds. But the cafe itself is lovely and muzak-free.

Loudons Cafe and Bakery
Fri, 30/12/2011 - 4:57pm — MctavishBased on, but not quite as good as, the epic Peter's Yard... nice cakes, coffees, light lunches etc. Not as crushed as P's Y, with plenty of room, free wifi, comfy couches, newspapers and best of all - no muzak!

Edinburgh University Library Cafe
Fri, 18/11/2011 - 11:12am — TheaOpen every day and in the evenings during term times.
Open on weekdays during university vacations.
See the website for details: www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/accommodation-services/current-students...
Next to the University Library on the south side of George Square, the cafe is sizeable and has comfortable chairs and sofas and quiet corners for conversations and for groups to socialise.
Open to the general public to just walk in, and generally blissfully quiet outside mealtimes.
The food is standard good cafeteria fare and the coffee is fine.

Scottish National Gallery - Garden Café
Wed, 19/10/2011 - 3:33pm — dodiegale1http://www.nationalgalleries.org/visit/page/2:140:2
Open daily, 10am-5pm (6pm for August only). Thursdays until 7pm
There are two cafés off the foyer of the National Gallery of Scotland. The larger of the two, the Scottish Café and Restaurant, does play piped music. However, there is a smaller one called the Garden Café (situated in the Gardens entrance) which is musac-free. The coffee is good and they have a variety of cakes and pastries. If you are lucky, you can get a table with a pleasant view of Princes Street Gardens

Jenners Cafés, Edinburgh
Wed, 19/10/2011 - 10:34am — dodiegale1Unfortunately, Jenners itself does play piped music, quite loudly at times. If you can negotiate that, peace and quiet await you in their café areas. Both are self-service, one on the second floor and one on the fifth floor (Café Zest). Both serve coffee, snacks and light lunches. There is a different menu in each café. The view from the second floor café, looking out over Princes Street Gardens and the skyline of the Old Town, is particularly recommended

Bäckerei Gottschalk
Thu, 24/02/2011 - 7:11pm — JMBTranshttp://www.baeckerei-gottschalk.de
Station: Graal-Müritz (15 mins), reached by local trains from Rostock.
If you see a bakery with a queue out of the door - morning and afternoon - you know it's going to be good. Gottschalk's Bakery is recommended for the baked goods and the coffee and also for the bustle of a busy shop, untainted by musical wallpaper when we were there last summer. There's a small indoor cafe beyond the bakery counter, with more tables outside. Graal-Müritz is a seaside resort with a sandy beach on the fringes of the North Sea port of Rostock.
