Chocolates in Edinburgh

“Second time to this shop near Waverly station. We love their coffee and this time we came for a morning bite. Lovely place, people and coffee. Definitely a place to try if you haven't tried it yet.”

“Intersting mix of local art, souvenirs and antiques, and really good salads, sandwiches, scones and other pastries in an airy setting with great views. Stumbled on by chance, greatly enjoyed and warmly recommended.”

“As a New Yorker with high pizza standards (and a serious slice craving), Franco Manca in Stockbridge absolutely delivered. The pizza was delicious—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly lacking nothing. The crust had that ideal chew, the ingredients were fresh, and every bite felt intentional. Service was excellent as well: friendly, efficient, and welcoming without being overbearing. This has officially become my go-to pizza spot whenever I’m visiting Edinburgh. If you’re looking for a slice that passes the New York test, this is it.”

“There were 3 of us and we all ordered the à la carte menu. All the options were excellent. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and the waiters were always attentive. However it was extremely cold in the restaurant! Overall, Highly recommended. Excellent value for money and with good gluten-free options. Up there with the best meals I've had even thought it was really cold.”

“I received a 5* treatment from Allysha Halley. I finally managed to get a pair of shoes for my son who had me going into various places. Allysha was friendly, patient and very helpful as we were looking before hand the staff just walked off and left us knowing I was looking for someone to take my size. I will definitely be coming again to the men's department. Thank you”

“Lots of fresh foods, ready-to-eat and heat-and-eat options that were perfect for our needs while traveling. Excellent store.”

“Lovely tasty Meatilicious Pizza. great taste with lots of cheese and stuffed crust. fast delivery. recommend”

“When I went i got given a pretty acceptable but not fantastic flat white. The staff were friendly. To my suprise the chef came out the front and began blowing up a very thick ballon, it began to consume the whole room! I got pushed against the wall by the force of the inflation what a breath this fella had. I thank god every third and a half day that I finshed my coffee before this supernatural event. Extremely unique experience would ask staff if it is ballon day before going if elderly or sick”

“Highlight of our Edinburgh trip! Tour guide Coco was engaging and knowledgeable, sampled lots of different chocolates and learnt about the history and the making process. Was really fun and also got to make our own chocolate bars to take home! Would recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh.”

“I stumbled across BaGet Stuffed around 6 months ago and realised I’d been missing out. Big time. Ingredients are fresh, hygiene is top notch, and I was immediately captivated by the creative sandwich names like “Pablo Escobar” and “Smoking Greek”, each one matching its own quirky filling combo. Even their drinks have personality. They do amazing coffee, and the fridge drink selection is exclusive. Jarritos from Mexico, the fridge popping with colour… it has that sweet shop nostalgia to it. The atmosphere? It’s bustling with good vibes and warm radiance. Proper community feel between staff and customers. My current go-to is the Bossman with slight customisation, and I’ll warn you now: it’s addictive. If you want to pack in some extra calories, I highly recommend my custom “Half-Bossman, Half-Mexican Cartel” protein box. It hits the spot every time.”

“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!”

“Great coffee and the best cinnamon bun I've had on our 4 month trip, baked in house and we got one fresh out of the oven. Super friendly servive to top it off, pop in and you wont be disappointed.”

“Amazing liquor store. Wow, of the 10 places we tried, this is hands down the best. The guys (I didn't catch their names) were fantastic. Offered tequila samples which were delicious. Were able to stock up on all different liquors and wines. Just a great selection of everything. I highly recommend!”

“This is the place that I was always looking for where I can get the hospitality, everyday small plus excellent coffee, tea and marvelous bakery every day deferent kind. I will miss this place but my heart ❤️ is with this beautiful couple running this place god bless them.”

“Great little coffee stop with amazing huge scones ! Just to be aware it doesn't sell much savory food”

“Lovely cafe with reasonable prices. Good coffee and fresh breakfast. Thank you”

“My friend and I just came in for take away flat whites. It's such a tiny shop, they make your drink on the same side as the tables. There is space for 6 people and it's cramped. This is an incredible coffee spot. They pull the espresso with fantastic precision and they froth the milk perfectly. I am so happy that I came here and I HIGHLY recommend this coffee shop for anyone in the area.”

“One of the best ice cream shops in Edinburgh. Coffee & cardamom flavour is so nice to eat .”

“I found this place by chance and had the best luck, as it was about to close. The attention is really warm and kind. The coffee is AMAZING. I had the fortune to get a pistachio cookie and it’s great. Will be back really soon. Everybody talks about what this Edin’s hidden gem has to offer, you need to see it for yourselves. Visit this venue, you won’t regret.”

“Amazing all around! An absolute hidden gem that should not be missed by coffee lovers and foodies alike! I cannot commend enough the owners for the amazing attention to detail, dedication, and craft they show to everything they are selling in their shop. The homemade sandwiches and cakes/desserts are incredibly delicious, bursting with flavour, and just feed the soul! I definitely had the best Basque Cheesecake outside of Spain; totally worth the extra calories! Pair everything up with very tasty coffee, and you definitely have an amazing pit stop to start the day or recharge! Should we return to Edinburgh, we will return without a doubt!”

“This is a lovely little spot for coffee and cake. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. I’ve been here many times, and the quality is always excellent. It’s the kind of place you can count on for good food every time.”

“Really nice shop, very good selection and advice ! We wanted to bring back local beers and they have a lot of them (Also, there was a very cute dog which is a plus ❤️)”

“coffee was good, i think it’s one of the best in the city, its hidden as it named the staff were very welcoming and smiling wifi was provided on the table”

“Fantastic atmosphere, well decorated and tables are laid out well. Service is great and the food is fab. Definitely recommend the coffee, lovely and smooth with just enough bitterness to really bring out the rich flavour (as coffee should be). Thank you for my lovely breakfast!”

“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!”

“I came to The Village Cafe after a bad experience at a different nearby cafe where after 45 minutes I never received my food. Needless to say, when I arrived at The Village Cafe I was absolutely starving. It was packed but there were 2 tables outside. Despite it being windy and 9 degrees, it was at least sunny so I asked if I could sit outside. The server who greeted me was outgoing and friendly and asked if I had been served. I told her no and asked to sit outside. She replied something to the effect that it was a bit cold outside and she was sure they could get me a table inside. Within minutes a table was free and I quickly ordered the cheeseburger. My food came out maybe 10 minutes later. It was delicious. Being American, I’m a bit of a burger snob. The burger was juicy, the chips were crispy, the salad was fresh. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Really lovely neighbourhood cafe. Will be back and hopefully have room to try some of their cakes. :)”

“Staff were able to seat 6 of us as walk ins on a Sunday around 12. We sat along the bar at the wall. One of our group was gluten free and they were able to accommodate to her with gluten free bread etc. Food was all really tasty and decent sized portions. Staff were so friendly!”
