Word on Morningside

“A Morningside favourite… The window display alone is enough to entice you in. Coffee most excellent.”

La'Telve's yellow shopfront on Morningside Road

Thirty years in food, three cities.

We're a family of food engineers — thirty years in food between us. It started in 2004 with a coffee-bistro-patisserie in Kazakhstan, then a decade of boutique patisserie in Istanbul. Now the yellow front on Morningside Road is home.

Inside La'Telve: the yellow counter, the cakes, and a full room behind

Our Cafe

Breakfast runs all day here, every day. A Full Scottish with haggis and potato scone, gozleme hot off the griddle, French toast, proper brunch plates. Coffee from eight on weekdays, nine at weekends, until we lock up.

Our Bakery

Everything in the window came out of our own ovens that morning. Sponge cakes, cheesecakes, cannoli, macarons in eleven flavours, scones and proper baklava. Take a slice with your coffee, or order a whole cake for the big day. Vegan and gluten free bakes are always on the counter.

The window that stops people.

Cheesecakes, macarons and birthday cakes, made here — give us two days for the big ones.
