Phil Rosenthal from hit Netflix show, Somebody Feed Phil, can be seen stopping by Social Bite's Edinburgh coffee shop on Rose Street in the latest series which launched last night.

The coffee shop, which offers customers the chance to 'pay it forward' to help support people who are homeless or vulnerable, features on the show. Members of the Social Bite team and Phil discuss the charity's mission to help end homelessness as they enjoy some great coffee and baked goods available from the shop.

Mel Swan, Commercial and Operations Director of Social Bite, said: "Having a big star and foodie icon visit our Edinburgh coffee shop really helps share our mission with the world. We want to bring people together to end homelessness, and that can start with good food and a conversation.

"Phil really enjoyed our cakes and cookies, and hearing about what we do. We can also claim to have given him his first taste of our national drink, Irn-Bru - that's one for the books!"
