A helpful, conveniently located and generously priced community zero-waste shop. There’s more than food available here, as there are kitchen and bathroom supplies too. The Gull’s makes Edinburgh better with great charity efforts and resources.

Chums is a warm and friendly coffee and/or pie shop in Leith; it’s around the corner from the beaten track but worth exploring to find. It’s not had to see. Only a few minutes before that meeting? Chums will help.
