Review: Sweet October, a cafe in Leith

September 27, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve found a real labour of love in Leith! Sweet October is a humble cafe with a huge heart, offering some of the best sandwiches in Edinburgh. Freshly made, inventive, and delicious – this place is a definite recommended stop.

Cheese ‘n’ Toasted is a grilled sandwich shack in a shop in Stockbridge’s bustling food haven. It’s a lovely place to get a high-end toastie and eat in the warmth, no matter the weather outside.

A vegan sandwich boutique that offers crafted perfection at a fair price, with baking, coffee and sometimes amazing treats like vegan dogs. One to check out.

Luxury sandwiches in a cosy, friendly and popular nook. Menu changes often, and there’s every reason to go and then go back.
