Edinburgh coffee shop giving away free drinks to everyone as it reopens on Monday

Let's be real - if there's ever a time that calls for a coffee, it's a Monday.

Luckily Cheapshot - a tiny independent coffee stand run out of a police box in Edinburgh is giving away cups of coffee for absolutely free this coming Monday, April 5.

Just a stone's throw from Bristo Square, the Marshall Street coffee box is celebrating lockdown restrictions easing from next week as 'Stay at Home' guidance comes to an end.

Cheapshot has been closed since the 12th of January and Monday also marks their grand reopening.

Writing on Instagram the team said: "So many of you “bought forward” Cheapshot coffees before the first ever lockdown and also to raise money for BLM causes last year.

"Now, with the 'Stay at Home' restrictions being lifted on the same day as Cheapshot reopening, it’s the perfect excuse to actually bring these coffees forward to say thank you from us and to celebrate everyone having a bit more freedom."

The team will dishing out free coffees to EVERYONE from 8.30am to 3pm on Monday 5 April.

Cheapshot ask that all who attend wear masks and maintain social distancing in the (inevitable!) queue.
