Coffee house in Edinburgh

“Extremely friendly staff! Gave us free water as soon as we walked in, didn't even have to ask. The latte with maple spice syrup was INSANE. Like so good. Like I-have-barely-had-such-a-good-coffee in my life good. The Mediterranean wrap was also delicious ^^”

“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.”

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

“Absolutely spot on coffee and amazing service! Highly recommended.”

“Great coffee and treats, and wonderful staff who made us feel valued and welcomed. Would definitely go here again and again!”

“Surprisingly large room with plenty of space and amenities. Incredible value with faultless service from the host who was continually attentive to all of our needs. Free parking right outside and easy access to public transport into the centre. A comfortable and clean room in an establishment that I will 100% recommend to anyone travelling to Edinburgh.”

“I loved this place! Incredible coffee, super nice staff, and it was so cool to be able to choose from 7 different types of coffee beans. They took me through the different types and I ended up trying two different ones. You can tell they really care about their coffee! Staff was super friendly as well :).”

“Amazing cafe with delicious food and fantastic big yummy coffee! We had latte and long black for coffee and they were great coffees, my husband had a second cup after food! I had beef chimichanga and he had vegan sandwiches which we both absolutely love! My beef roll was super yummy and very generous in size! Definitely a recommended dish! Lovely cafe and even more friendly staff!!!”

“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.”

“Beautiful guest house, better than a lot of hotels I have stayed in. Lovely family hosts”

“Very beautiful house with great hosts and a delicious breakfast...will definitely stay here again, when back in Edinburgh ❤️”

“Great coffee, lots of plant based milks for the vegan or lactose intolerant. Many options: latte, cappuccino, mocha, chai - you name it and also, seasonal drinks. Also, lots of cakes and desserts. Personally tried a (vegan!) cinnamon bun/roll - whatever you wanna call it, it was delicious! Friendly owners/staff”

“Breakfasthere is superb, and so is lunch. The soups are delicious. There is always ham hockey lenti, but the vegetable soups vary from day to day, and are always delicious. Home baking...cakes, frangipane tartlets, brownies carrotcake, Portuguese tarts, and always a big cake of some kind.ll fresh, light, and tempting. Oh..and the scones. Baked every morning, with freshly whipped cream and jam, or just butter...to die for. Forgot to say, the coffee is freshly ground, and they have a very rich and varied selection.and may different teas, well worth experimenting.”

“Beautiful historic cafe in the old Dower house. Situated over two floors, very cosy with lots of atmosphere. Very welcoming staff. It's serves sandwiches, cakes and bakes. And it's dog friendly.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great wee spot for great coffee and sweets. The little free library and atmosphere give it a great vibe to relax and enjoy some peace, either alone or with friends. The proprietor was not only personable but funny and knew how to read his people. Highly recommend and will be back.”

“I haven’t had a home-cook Pho for a long time and it’s so heart warming to taste something that delicious - totally recommend and would come back again and again!”

“Fantastic cafe with a great ambience, friendly staff and owner and the food..... Delicious! I had the salmon bagel and then a cuppa tea and banoffee pie. Best Banoffee pie I've tasted in years. What had turned out to be a day of errands has become a beautiful day after having a delicious lunch here. Don't skip the cake - they are homemade and mouthwateringly good. Come here hungry and leave very very satisfied.”

“Rosearista a cozy, family-owned coffee shop nestled in Broomrigg in Pencaitland. With a warm atmosphere and friendly staff, they offer a variety of coffee’s and tea’s, delicious pastries, fresh scones everyday & home baking. Their commitment to quality and community shines through in every cup. Have visited numerous times and each visit is just as delicious.”

“This place was so busy, well organized, with tasty food and not long to wait. All the staff were so lovely and friendly, One of the best cafes I've been in.”

“Had lovely fruit pastry and tea and coffee with my brother sitting outside in the sun looking at the beautiful nature that surrounds this gem of a place . See you again soon”

“Nice, bright place, plenty of space. Coffee and cakes we had were excellent, and the staff were very friendly and quick. Recommended.”

“A small and cozy café in Edinburgh with the sweetest atmosphere! It’s the perfect place for breakfast — the food is delicious, the tea is wonderful, and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Such a lovely spot to start the day!”

“Best cafe in Edinburgh with lovely, brilliant staff and amazing breakfasts. We ate here every day of our trip. P.S thank you for making my birthday weekend so special and thanks for the cake - yum !! We will be back.”

“Amazing coffee and super lovely staff. A welcoming little cafe with a nice chilled atmosphere. They have great selections of beans from roasters throughout Europe as well as their own Fortitude brand. Always my regular hub for a good coffee ❤️”

“We had a fantastic time ! Our bedroom was lovely and very comfy. The house is not in the city centre but there's a bus stop just outside the door. The breakfast buffet was amazing and the hostess super helpful. Definitely will stay there again!”

“Great little cafe that's tucked away in Edinburgh. Good prices for the area, lots of food for the price too. Tried their french toast and also pastrami and swiss bagel sandwich, both were excellent. Coffee is also great. Visited again in 2019, they don't seem to have many food options anymore, so keep that in mind.”

“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!”
