text: Beets is a posh food shop filled with nice and wholesome things that you could probably find a lot cheaper somewhere else Things like unusual herbal teas almond milk and alfalfa beansprouts that can be tasty and are undoubtedly very healthy yet you slightly suspect that people buy them more as status symbols to prove their membership of the green bourgeoisie than because they actually like them If organicloving celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow Madonna and their ilk lived in Edinburgh I am sure this is the kid of place they would shopnnDont get me wrong I am a fullysigned up tofu munching lentil loving vegetarian myself so in theory Beets should be right up my street It is just that on the spectrum of health food shops it is much more yuppie than hippie which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable Actually when I say uncomfortable I probably just mean poornnWhat did impress me like other reviewers was their awesome range of fancy beer such as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Brooklyn IPA which are not easy to track down Those in my opinion are worth forking out for and definitely justify a visit to this upmarket shop
