While in Edinburgh this weekend, Laura introduced me to her favourite cafe in the city; a small cute place called Forest. It was a freezing day when we went looking for the Forest Cafe, and we had to wait outside for ten minutes before they opened. It turned out to be good because we got a chance to read what the cafe was all about. Basically it is a not for profit charity supporting local artists and being run by volunteers who also run a small arty cafe funding the whole thing. We thought that is a fantastic idea that everybody working in the place are volunteers from the local area, they work only on the tips of patrons of the Forest. Also at the front of the cafe is a free shop where people can donate anything they don't need and anybody can pick up anything they need from there. If anyone who reads this is in Edinburgh anytime please go and check it out it is located at 3 Bistro Place or check it out online at www.theforest.org.uk.
