Would highly recommend getting the Edinburgh Mist (kind of resembles a london fog drink). The nutella waffle was a nice afternoon snack. The staff were very attentive and nice. The only tip for improvement I can give is to make the seating a bit more comfortable :)
Great aesthetic, combining bright and cheery with Edinburgh’s atmospheric stonework. Okay coffee, although a little small for my liking. Super friendly staff.
Great food, nice coffee and a nice atmosphere. Service was also nice. We came here early in the morning to have breakfast and it was a lovely experience. I had the bacon waffle, it was a great belgium waffle which was very yummy. The bacon ontop of it was also really nice. The salad on the side was a bit unnecessary though. My mother had a waffle with like greek yogurt and oats ontop (you can see it in one of the photos). The latte was really good as well, the foam very well made and so was the coffee. I would recommend coming here as it isn't that expensive and a lovely place to have breakfast!
Friendly attentive staff, quickly got sat, drinks arrived quickly I got the Edinburgh Mist, which is similar to a London Fog and he got a Cappuccino we both liked our drinks, the House Special waffle with melted Brie was interesting and tasty although wish it was a bit crispier. Has a local vibe with big windows.
Sightseeing with some visitors in the city and needing some refreshments we tried St Giles Cafe and Bar. It is a delightful place. We had a range of coffees and the very excellent Edinburgh Mist with Earl Grey tea. The staff were super helpful and attentive. A great place for a snacks and drinks.
Nice place for a coffee and waffles and pastries. if you are around St Giles cathedral. Serves breakfasts and lunches with sandwiches and an expansive selection of mixed drinks served to late afternoon. Friendly staff and atmosphere.
A small cafe/bar offering an excellent selection of good quality drinks and snacks. Nice, French-ish styling, bright and airy with a busy, intimate atmosphere. We had cups of English breakfast tea and watched croissant with cheese and tomato and a brown bacon roll arrive at the next table - we briefly considered having another breakfast as they looked very good! The people were friendly and service was prompt. We spotted several regular local visitors while we were there which is always a good sign. The toilets are downstairs; small, tired but clean. Good value.
What a perfect place. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The menu had a great selection and keep an eye out in the specials board. The ginger beer was spot on. To finish we had scones warmed up and every so slightly toasted - yum!
