Top 5 Cafes in Edinburgh

57 Broughton St, Edinburgh EH1 3RJ, United Kingdom

“Coffee was so good. I rarely compliment coffee, but this one is so much flavor. I also enjoyed friendly and cozy vibe.”

103 Hanover St, Edinburgh EH2 1DJ, United Kingdom

“Be sure to make an appointment in advance and arrive on time, we were about fifteen minutes late and the store was full, we waited about fifteen minutes before sitting down. Since my friend and I would like to sample more things, the two of us ordered a total of three servings, we were so full that we didn't finish everything. And the pancakes are very fluffy and delicious, highly recommended.”

“Like its pun-packed menu and pancake-stacked plates, Salt is full of character and taste. Aside from a banging brunch, highlights included chic decor and stellar staff. My only regret is not asking whether they'd consider serving a boozy version of the Dirty Chai Latte. Next time.”

88 St John's Rd, Corstorphine, Edinburgh EH12 8AT, United Kingdom

“Great menu here, and the staff are just lovely. Been coming here with my now 92 year old grandad for years.”

118 Buccleuch St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9NQ, United Kingdom

“We found this by reading good reviews. And noted that it was reasonably priced and not expensive. I got the baguette with bacon, egg, and sausage, my wife got the Big Breakfast, and we shared a pot of tea for two. The service was excellent and the food was marvelously delicious. The cozy environment was understandably busy but certainly not chaotic. Highly recommend breakfast here.”

Jubilee Rd, Ingliston, Edinburgh EH12 9DN, United Kingdom

“A very cozy cafe. Very nice interior. The service is very pleasant, a large selection of hot and cold drinks. You can buy souvenirs and real natural coffee. Thank you very much, I recommend it”

90 Brunswick St, Edinburgh EH7 5HU, United Kingdom

“Such a lovely place for breakfast in Leith! We absolutely loved the hashbrowns with kimchi/gochujang greens and the fried egg was absolute perfection! Dirty chai was huge! And the pastries were yum as well.”

2 Stafford St, Coates Cres, Edinburgh EH3 7PU, United Kingdom

“The cutest place! The employees were so kind and helpful. It is an open space but the tables are also somehow isolated and everyone can be in their own world just enjoying the atmosphere. Regarding the food and drinks - this was the best breakfast in my life so far! Definitely will visit it again.”

49 Barclay Pl, Edinburgh EH10 4HW, United Kingdom

“The decaf espresso was outstanding I must say. As there aren’t many good decaf around so it was refreshing to find such long note of toffee and acidity in this espresso. And its bean pricing is also very reasonable - £8.5 for 200g. The barista was most helpful in sharing his tips in the grinding and brewing of this bean. Thanks barista! This is truly a fantastic gem I highly recommended.”

John Lewis & Partners, St James Quarter, 60 Leith St, Edinburgh EH1 3SP, United Kingdom

“As with all the other Nespresso boutiques this place is chic and inviting with the aroma of freshly made coffee filling the air. The staff are experienced, professional and extremely helpful no matter whether your questions are about coffee, coffee machines or the many other products available. If you haven't got a Nespresso machine pop in and ask for a demonstration. They are happy to provide a cup of Nespresso coffee of your choice to sample.”
