Tinderbox Edinburgh - finally open!

We’d like to say this has been a breeze to get open… but that would be “fake news”. It’s been a bit of adventure but thankfully there is a happy ending!

We’re finally open and very, very excited to welcome you along.

And to all of you who guessed the location simply show us the post with your name and a free coffee will be yours.

And here’s a sneaky hint… even if you didn’t comment on that post just show Georgia or anyone on the team this post and we’ll make sure you get a free coffee anyway! They’ll be delighted to see you and we’ll be delighted that you made the effort to come and visit us.

And there we go… another new Tinderbox open.

This one shouldn’t be hard but if you comment on this post, with your best guess… and you just happen to have been through “Security” and on your way to “Departures” then come in and visit us and there’s a free coffee with your name on it!
We hope to see you very soon.

🌸 Spring into Flavour with Tinderbox! 🌸

We’re thrilled to introduce three delightful new spring drinks, crafted with love and a touch of Scottish charm. After extensive tasting sessions with our friends at Matthew Algie, we’ve created something truly special for you. And to celebrate our 25th birthday, we’re giving you a chance to join us for an exclusive tasting event!

🍓 Cranachan Shake (Vegan) - Inspired by the classic Scottish dessert, this shake is a delicious blend of flavors, minus the whisky! Perfect for our vegan friends. 🥤

🍫 Tablet Iced Latte - A sweet twist on your regular iced latte, inspired by Scotland’s beloved fudge. Indulgence in every sip! ☕

🌸 Cherry Blossom Iced Chocolate - A refreshing chocolate drink with a hint of cherry blossom, perfect for springtime! 🍫

We’d love to know which one you’re excited to try! Tell us in the comments or let us know your favorite.
