Scotland's first soup cafe is a great place to grab a little bit of respite and enjoy some soups, coffee and even a hot chocolate (just in case you're feeling a little cold in Scotland's less than impressive summer weather).
Each weekday there will also be the chance to grab some amazing vegan food and soups from the Union of Genius soup van - affectionately known as Dumbo - which will be situated on the north west corner of George Square.
You can check out their weekly soup menu on Facebook and Twitter.

Looking to escape the madness for just a little while? There's no better place to sit back, relax and enjoy some delicious food than at Under the Stairs.
The shabby chic interior is cosy and bright, like the kind of living room you dream of owning. You can also enjoy some local art as you enjoy the freshly made food and all for a great price.
Steamed mussels, crispy streak strips, maple glazed smoked tofu and Moroccan lamb are just some of the amazing foods you'll find on their exciting menu.
Not a bad place to while away an our or two.
4. Tupiniquim
(Green Police Box, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9AU, 07908 886184)
If you know about Doctor Who then you know exciting things can be found inside old police boxes. Well this one is green, not blue (more suiting the Brazilian aesthetic) but the point still stands: Tupiniquism is bringing a little samba style and sunshine to Edinburgh.
Serving sweet and savoury (gluten free) crepes, pressed juices and freshly-ground coffee, Tupiniquism - named after an indigenous people of Brazil - is a great place to grab some healthy, fresh food on the go.
5. Tony Singh's pop-up restaurant, Roadtrip
(31-35 Grassmarket Edinburgh EH1 2HS, 0131 300 3456)

Larger-than-life celebrity chef Tony Singh has brought his unique street food pop-up, Road Trip, to Edinburgh's Grassmarket.
Housed for the duration of the Edinburgh Festival at Metro Brasserie in the Apex International Hotel, the pop up will offer food that's 'Scottish, Indian and everywhere in between'.
The street food style offering, made with the finest international and locally sourced ingredients, draws inspiration from Tony’s travels across the globe and features the now legendary haggis pakora, the Coogate burger and Tony's curry of the day.
And yeah we forgot to mention the awesome desserts including Tony's Flooda - 'lush Indian milkshakes' - and Churros.
We'll see you there!
