Life in the city can be a little tiring at times. Thankfully, there's always caffeine to keep us fuelled.
Edinburgh's coffee scene is arguably one of the best in Europe and has seen a rapid rise in the last decade. It's hard to find a neighbourhood or street corner without a delightful wee coffee shop to help us wake up.
Of course, everyone will have their favourite, the place that has so well and truly become part of the morning routine we could probably wearily walk there with our eyes closed.

But according to Trip Advisor reviews, there's one place that stands above all others to be ranked Edinburgh's top-rated coffee spot.
People have praised Fortuna Coffee Bar as an 'absolute gem', while besides the caffeine, they all serve up some beautiful breakfasts including - according to some - the 'best ever bagels'.
With a full five star rating from over 150 votes on the travel review site, Fortuna certainly seems worth the visit.
Described as a speciality coffee shop, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch all day, it's located in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, on Queen Street.
Here's why people love it:
One customer said: "A great spot for coffee and delicious breakfast bites. The ingredients are top quality and the menu options are varied from toasts to deliciously tempting baked goods.
"The portions are generous and the coffee is top quality, making this place great value for money."
Another added: "Some of the best coffee I have ever had. The food was also excellent with a large range, accommodating vegan options. A fab time with lovely staff."
Meanwhile, one visitor described Fortuna Coffee Bar as a 'little gem' and commented: "I love this little coffee bar on the edge of New Town.
"The staff are fantastically friendly and relaxed. Good value, great coffee and food."
But Fortuna is about more than just the coffee, with plenty also raving about the breakfasts and the brunch.
One recent review said: "Peaceful and delicious breakfast. We went into this café for breakfast time and I must say it was 10 out of 10.
"We had two croissants, one cappuccino and a chai latte. Everything was delicious and the staff were attentive and very friendly."
Meanwhile, an Edinburgh tourist was full of praise for the bagels, adding: "We waited for it to open and to be amazed. Service was great and food even better.
"We had the cream cheese bagel with salmon and a berry bowl. The bagel was the best we ever had. Would go here again if we could."
One review simply said: "Honestly the best coffee we have had in the UK! The service was brilliant and food to match.
"If we were here longer we would be back for sure."
