Cafe 42 is a neighbourhood cafe and bakery at 42 Magdalene Drive in Edinburgh. Open for breakfast and lunch through most of the week, it provides an informal local setting for a quick coffee, a filled roll or a more substantial daytime meal.
Breakfast choices range from simple morning rolls to a full cooked plate with bacon, sausages, egg, haggis, black pudding, beans and a potato scone. A desi breakfast with paratha and omelette adds a different direction, while tea, coffee and hot chocolate accompany the morning menu.
Lunch covers filled rolls, burgers, pies, pizza and familiar comfort food such as lasagne and macaroni cheese. Curries with rice and biryani extend the selection, giving regular customers a broad mix of Scottish cafe staples and South Asian dishes.
Food can be ordered for collection or delivery as well as eaten at the cafe, and smaller children's choices make it practical for families. The extensive, down to earth menu and early weekday opening help Cafe 42 serve the everyday needs of its surrounding community.
