A west Edinburgh favourite

Settle in for brunch, cake and a proper catch-up.

Opened in 2016, Corstorphine was Mimi’s first café on the west side of Edinburgh.

Close to Edinburgh Zoo and handy for journeys towards the airport, the café serves all-day brunch dishes, speciality drinks, cakes, scones and Mimi’s award-winning Afternoon Tea.

Come for a quick coffee or settle in for Afternoon Tea, with a glass of fizz if you fancy.
