The staff are always so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes every visit such a pleasure. It’s the perfect spot whether you want to grab a quick coffee or sit and enjoy a sweet treat. Highly recommend!”

“Always good service, with a smile as well. Selection is always good with good pricing. We shop here for home and business often.”

“Well laid out shop. Plenty choice. Will go again.”

“Great pleasure for a meal or a snack. Very helpful staff and good menu. We had pancakes they were large and filling. The only think not to sure about wooden bench seats not to comfy they do have some more comfy seating if you book”

“Really pleased with how helpful staff were here- I didn't really know the exact part that I needed, but Megan was super helpful in getting it sorted. It honestly saved me heaps of time. Extra happy with the location being dog friendly as well.”

“Nice variety of products, cheap and good.”

“Had a fresh, handmade bacon roll and a caramel doughnut filled with cream, absolutely 5 stars for quality, price and quantity. I'll be back for more salty and sweet food, so many tasty looking things to try! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Shop here every day, great staff and always have what I want.”

“The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. I ordered the sausage roll, latte with a bottle of water. My Airbnb host told me to check out this location for a quick bite, I’m glad I went!”

“Great service at Makro – special thanks to Lesley! Always a great experience shopping at Makro – the store is well-stocked, organised, and perfect for bulk buying. But what really makes the difference is the staff, especially Lesley. She’s incredibly helpful, friendly, and always goes the extra mile to make sure customers are looked after. Whether it’s helping with stock queries or just offering a warm smile at the checkout, Lesley is a true asset to the team. Her customer service is top-notch and really stands out in a busy retail environment. Thanks again to Lesley and the Makro team for consistently excellent service!”

“Amazing! Had afternoon tea with a gift voucher and it was delicious. Said I was vegetarian and was not a problem to get all veggie sandwiches. Scones were warm which was a nice touch. Good selection of cakes and all lovely. Staff were really nice and food came quick.”

“Great staff Marta and Kuba were very helpful i got a szynka and it was so fresh ive chucked it in the śmietnik. I recommend this shop as its really big and has so many flavours of czekolada. Its the best shop in the whole ziemia. Ps. Ciapaty to bardzo spoko gość”

“Love my little local coop. It's got all the essentials, good bakery and the staff are very nice and helpful.”

“In general, great store, spacious, with a wide range of variety and often at a competitive price, better than Tesco or Morrison's. Always get some great bargains even at George's. Never had an issue with self-service, the staff are helpful, too. Especially like the bakery section, where you can get tasty, fresh, palm-free products. Great they still have a sanitary station! My only issue is lack of goat's yoghurt for the third time, shame I keep having to go back to Tesco for this one item. Also, disabled toilet is always locked. Finally, the trolleys are hard to push except for the plastic ones, but they need a pound coin.”

“Excellent Greek patisserie to have with coffee while visiting friends. All delicious, great variety, friendly service and welcoming staff!”

“Fantastic scrambled tofu on toast. Texture and flavour spot on. Coffee wasn't amazing but perfectly acceptable. Prices were very reasonable. Not much seating inside, but thankfully it was a quiet morning. Highly recommend this place for fellow vegans!”

“Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Fantastic owner, fantastic food, all vegetarian. Fantastic art down the stairs and one of the only sober LGBTQIA places I know of. They also hold lots of events down stairs and they're VERY reasonably priced.”

“Came for a short break in Edinburgh, read good reviews about Bam coffee and visited myself. I really loved it. From food to service and ambiance, everything is nice. I would definitely suggest it to other people.”

“Superb selection of beverages, with knowledgable and friendly owners. We came in for a small bottle of red wine and left with a box of different wines, Prosecco, and sake. Fantastic selection of beer and whiskey too, I noticed.”

“As a Greek that lives abroad I was extremely impressed with the variety of products this place has. I am not talking only for the good that they bake but you can find literally anything from Greece. I was just amazed. We got breakfast from there and of course a freddo espresso was a must to accompany our pastries. Everything was very tasty! I highly recommend you to visit this place and try all the Greek goods they have!”

“I do love finding little gems like these. Great Cafe with a very generous portion size and fantastic coffee. I also had a lovely Victoria sponge from there, no photo as I devoured it far to quickly. If you're in the area and looking to treat yourself to a nice lunch I would definitely advise going here.”

“Love this spot, some of the best sandwiches and bread I’ve had (Coming from a Dutch person). Great service and good prices. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I think of is walking over to Polentoni.”

“Was here today with my Portuguese fiancé. He wanted a taste of home & this is what he got. Amazing products & even better prices. The owner is a wee gem too. What a great wee place.”

“Excellent breakfast place! Cute and cozy decor. We tried filled croissants, porridge and this lovely pistachio cardamom cake. And also, probably the best coffee we had in the whole of Edinburgh!”

“The owner and staff are the loveliest people in Edinburgh: so generous, kind, and thoughtful with all their customers (and not just customers, anyone they see walking past on the street who needs assistance). I cannot count the number of times I've walked past this cafe and seen the owner helping someone out. An Edinburgh food classic. They make the best sandwiches, we won't stop coming here or recommending it :)”

“We’re incredibly grateful for the outstanding food you provided for our corporate event! The akara falafel was a real standout—everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was. The salad bowl was vibrant and fresh, and the lemon sponge cake was hands-down the best I’ve had in ages—perfectly moist and absolutely delightful! The two trays of lemon cake disappeared in no time; it was such a hit that we only wish we had ordered more! A huge thank you to Tosin for making the entire ordering and delivery process so seamless. We’re already looking forward to reaching out again to explore more of the fantastic options on your menu. Warm thanks from all of us at Hymans Robertson!”

“Popped in after the gym this morning. Picked up a couple of nutella cookies to take home and wow, they are the divine. By far the best cookie I've had in Scotland. Will be back”

“My first breakfast in Edinburgh was here, and it was absolutely delicious! I fell in love with every dish, and the latte was amazing. I highly recommend all the dishes. Some of the staff were Turkish, which was really helpful when it came to understanding which options were halal. As a Muslim, it felt very comfortable and welcoming. I’d definitely come back to this place on my next visit to Edinburgh!”
