EL&N Opening in St James Quarter, the first UK location outside London

Edinburgh’s Instagram scene will be delighted to hear that “London’s most Instagrammable café” has chosen to open in the St James Quarter. Founded by Alexandra Miller in 2017 and known for it its unique pink floral décor, EL&N will be occupying a 1,500 sq ft unit in St James Square. EL&N has locations across Europe and the Middle East, with recent openings including Milan and Dubai. 

The Edinburgh café will offer a unique and innovative all day dining menu, including iconic signature drinks such as the Spanish Latte and Ombre Passion Fruit Cooler. One of the many perfect photo opportunities will include a patisserie display and a private party room.

Alexandra Miller said: “After 5 years of brand building in London, we are so thrilled to be opening our first café in Edinburgh just in time for the festive season! St James Quarter is the perfect location for us, located in the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh, we’ve created a unique concept that we think will resonate with our brand new demographic in Scotland. Prepare for the launch of EL&N London in Edinburgh, opening this Winter!” 

Ed Corrigan of Nuveen added: “The signing of EL&N represents yet another first for Scotland at demonstrating the continued appeal of St James Quarter to a diverse range of brands. EL&N’s ethos of ‘Eat Live and Nourish’ perfectly tallies with our lifestyle destination. We think our guests will love EL&N’s mix of food, coffee and style, served in the magnificent backdrop of St James Square.”
