Popular Scottish cafe opens second branch in major city

A POPULAR Scottish cafe has opened its second branch in a major city.

Bosses at Edinburgh-based eatery the Pantry have cut the ribbon on a brand-new cafe in the Scots capital.

The Pantry’s first venue opened in the lively neighbourhood of Stockbridge in 2012.

Its brunch menu features all the classics, such as eggs benedict and full breakfasts, alongside more adventurous options like Pop Tart French toast and chorizo beans.

The new cafe is in the city’s Bruntsfield area, at 1 Merchiston Place.

It has taken over the space of the much-loved former brunch spot, Honeycomb & Co, which unexpectedly closed its doors earlier this year.

The Pantry has retained the former staff of Honeycomb as they transform the eatery into their own brand.

Staff took to social media to welcome the staff and customers to the new eatery, writing: “We’re thrilled to welcome the Honeycomb & Co team into the Pantry family and very much look forward to working with them to bring our signature brunch and coffee experience to Bruntsfield.

“To Honeycomb’s loyal customers – we can’t wait to meet you and continue the warm, vibrant atmosphere you know and love.”

Pantry owners Peter and Steph Borgen-Nielsen also run two Hula juice bars in the city’s Fountainbridge and Grassmarket.

We told previously how the closure of Honeycomb & Co left punters gutted.

Handfuls of fans rushed online to share their sorrow after the sad news.


One wrote: “Sad, but so grateful for all the wonderful times I’ve enjoyed here—all the smiles, meals, drinks, chats, and hugs over the years.

“Every visit has been special, and everyone I’ve ever brought to Honeycomb has loved it.” 

Another added: “Will miss you forever.”
