Tasty donuts, in a handy location and with great opening hours. Expect fresh hits with lovingly decorated and attractive donuts. Wash them down with some good coffee too. Lovely!

A review of Crazy Croissant, a croissant shop in Leith by the Shore

December 2, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s worth finding a path through the labyrinth of trams construction barriers that criss-cross Bernard Street to get to Crazy Croissant.

Books 📚 and beer 🍺 Two of my MANY weaknesses together as @argonautbooks at @moonwakebeer #leith this weekend!
Aaaah! Imagine the delicious willpower of @tastybunsbakery being at the @moonwakebeer market this weekend. They are!
A bit of imagination on offer from @luna_edinburgh for the @moonwakebeer event. I'm not too much of a believer but using #tarot to guide your thoughts is an interesting technique.
Imagine how amazing Calton Hill's #GiraffeAboutTown will look in the right light!
Let's keep Edinburgh green!
Looking skyward! #GiraffeAboutTown
