My daughter and I had lunch there today, mixed meal platter and a pannini.... outstanding in taste and price! The coffee was also delicious AND they had squid ink pasta for sale!! we will be back!
Gaia is the best cafe on Leith Walk and the coffee is excellent. Who else would you have make your capucinos and paninis than pureblood Italiansʽ Gaia is also very child friendly; all the little ones get big hugs from Paola (the owner), and do try the pasta dishes - all hand prepared by the Gaia staff. A ʼmust visitʼ place.
This is a great place for hanging out with friends or just getting away from the office at lunchtime. Really great coffee, lovey food and brilliant staff. Itʼs also becoming a place where you bump into people you know - a great sign.
Gaia is an Italian deli & cafe on Leith Walk. Comfortable seating in the window, friendly, personal service & great coffee. Make the change from impersonal, overpriced, identikit coffee houses!
