They said: "I’m excited to finally announce we are opening our second shop in the heart of Leith.

"The new space will house our open plan production kitchen giving me and the team a much brighter and more spacious work space.

"I’m delighted to be working alongside @splintrdesign once again on this project and we were keen to take many of the design features from Stockbridge into the plans for Leith & it is looking great!

"Works begin towards the end of this week so expect updates along the way… to say I’m excited is an understatement!".

Local residents and businesses have reacted the post to share their delight at the news, with one person describing it as 'a dream come true'.
