71 Steps is a new cafe on Rodney Street with excellent coffee, a selection of baked treats and a menu of closed and open bagels. It’s absolutely worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for a place to sit down and treat yourself.

A review of One Canon, a pizza pub in Canonmills
A true indie of a pub, with an excellent vibe, a fantastic range of drinks, comfortable tables, a supply of board games and a proper pizza set up. This ethical relax zone makes excellent pizzas at incredibly fair prices, is open late and should be on your to-visit list.
A review of Ice Angels, an ice cream parlour in Canonmills
A family-run treat for the sugar senses! There’s a fantastic range of tasty ice cream here, with an impressive number of cone options.
