Come here for a drink after a long walk around Princes Street. Guests mention that it's fine to go here for the British meal. Try good carrot soup, roasted sandwiches and avocado toasts at this cafe. Taste tasty carrot cakes, brownies and cinnamon rolls. Delicious bitter is a good choice for the first time you come to LOWDOWN. It's nice to order great espresso, matcha or flat whites.
The great location of this place makes it easy to reach even in rush hours. The staff is friendly that's what makes this spot so nice. People say that the service is spectacular here. Also, clients recommend this cafe because of democratic prices. You will definitely like the homey atmosphere and beautiful decor. LOWDOWN is ranked 4.7 within the Google grading system.

The staff were the more than helpful. They knew their products well and both the coffee and the pastries were amazing. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Coffee and tea is excellent, however it’s a shop without soul - clean and boring modern, nothing interesting or cozy here. If you want a quick delicious drink - perfekt, otherwise I would find something with more character. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

We are sorry to hear that the baguette did not meet your expectations and that it caused discomfort. We have taken your comments on board and will pass your feedback to the bakery. Our baguettes are delivered fresh each morning and are intended to have a crunchy, crisp crust with a soft interior, but they should never detract from a customer's experience.As mentioned in our response to your companion's review, we were disappointed to see two separate 1-star reviews left for the same visit. While we fully respect your right to share your experience, we do not feel that two identical ratings for a single visit provide a fair reflection of the overall experience, particularly as positive aspects of your visit were also acknowledged.We genuinely value constructive feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. If you feel we have addressed your concerns, we would appreciate you considering updating your review to reflect our response.
