Coffee house in Edinburgh

“Cute little cafe, had a delicious breakfast, the Brie and blackberry toast and cheese toast were nice. My only criticism would be that they only have scrambled eggs option, some variety and a nice runny egg would have been the cherry on top of the cake. Excellent attentive and prompt service, our waitress Chloe was amazing. From the moment you walk in you feel seen, everyone in the shop greets with a smile. Highly recommend”

“Most delicious avocado and toast I had the whole weekend away! Much better than the more famous spots in the centre. Staff were lovely and friendly. Cute and away from the crowds. Great coffee.”

“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 ❤️”

“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!”

“It's a lovely little coffee shop. We had breakfast there and it was delicious. Tasty coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice was perfect with avocado toast and poached egg. My friends had Scottish breakfast and they were very happy with their choice. Very friendly staff as well.”

“We had a fantastic 2 night stay at Sonas! We loved the clean and quiet room with lots of amenities, free parking, and walkable distance to downtown. Lots of delicious restaurants close by also! Thank you for the fantastic hospitality!”

“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!”

“Lovely place the toys outside for the kids to play with the dogs and being able to sit outside with my family was so relaxing and the staff where very friendly and the coffee and treats where great too will definitely come back.”

“Beautiful sitting. Delicious scones. Exceptional service. I went to enjoy tea and a scone. I asked for extra warm tea, which they kindly provided. They kindly replaced my half eaten scone after it fell, without asking or charge. I hope to visit again and fully recommend a visit to whoever is in the city.”

“Really awesome experience! Food and drinks were amazing! I went there with 4 friends and we were really happy and pleased with our food! Also the people were really friendly! And the best about this place -> non-human animals don't get exploited for the food and drinks there!”

“Super great vibe here! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful with allergies as they have a bunch of gluten free options. Seating is a bit limited but people are happy to share tables!”

“I have been stocking the Roasting Project beans aswell as buying my sanremo machine and I cannot express how easy and helpful yess guys have been! On hand for everything I needed and went above and beyond within the customer services with everything to do with the machine!”

“The food was a solid 10/10 ⭐️ everything tasted so authentic and full of flavour. The kaya toast was definitely my favourite, perfectly done and so comforting. The service was great too friendly and efficient. Loved the vibe overall. Would definitely visit again!!!”

“Cute little coffee shop. Locals popping in & then jumping on the train. Flat white was strong & delicious.”

“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.”

“First ever time going here, lovely little cosy shop, hot chocolates were amazing! A little wait on food however it all taste amazing, would definitely reccomend and will definitely be back here”

“This place is set in a gorgeous little garden and quite hidden out the way. The food was amazing and the place very busy so bear that in mind for a last minute drop in. The gardens are also dog friendly with the staff being very attentive to both you and your dogs needs. The chocolate brownies and “The Usual Suspect” (bacon roll) are highly recommended.”

“Underrated hotel! The room was huge, had a big bathtub, a double bed, a bunk bed, and even a couch — all for just £100. Super good value. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location’s great too, just a short walk to the tram station and about 25 minutes to the city center. Also loved having my own fridge and access to a 24-hour kitchen. Would definitely stay again.”

“Dene Guest House was wonderful. Besides the place being immaculate, Hamish and his amazing Spanish wife were extremely friendly and accommodating. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed the quiet and tranquility of the neighborhood. The shared bathroom was never a problem - we almost never had to wait. As budget travelers, we highly appreciated the free cereal, coffee and fridge available to us. Would definitely return.”

“A brilliant, busy, friendly cafe. Both coffee and breakfast were delicious, and the staff very polite and professional. Highly recommended.”

“We enjoyed a wonderful tea in the bistro today following my mother's funeral. We received so many comments on the generosity of portions and lovely fresh food on offer from everyone who attended the tea. The food was delicious and obviously lovingly prepared and the serving staff were very attentive and very friendly. Well done to all!!!”

“Lovely cafe set in a beautiful garden. The food is always freshly prepared and delicious.”

“Happened upon this by chance. Small and so welcoming. We had homemade soup (tomato n herbs) with bread. Beautifully served and very tasty. As far as I'm aware everything is homemade. Not a large menu but well thought out choices. Great coffee - one of the best macchiatos I've had in a long time. Great service and very patient, friendly staff. Will definitely go back.”

“My partner Mic and I absolutely loved this little cafe. It’s got the best food and the couple that run it are so lovely and welcoming you feel like your locals and friends the second you enter the shop. If you’re staying in the South Bridfe area, definitely stop in for a coffee or a delectable croissant, or even just a friendly chat with the owners.”

“April 24’ Saturday morning Come here early, it will be packed easily. Family friendly and bookable tables. Flat white has nice balance of coffee taste and milk, tastes fresh and nice.”

“The Lodge Coffee House – A Caffeinated Trip into the Surreal Nestled in the caffeinated underbelly of Edinburgh lies The Lodge Coffee House, a stone sanctum where time sips itself backwards and espresso machines hum ancient jazz riffs. Upon entering, we were greeted by Mick, a man forged from equal parts kindness, bacon, and 80's nostalgia. Like a caffeinated Gandalf, he emerged from the steam with eyes full of welcome and hands full of bacon barms. He threw them at us, not aggressively, but like a benevolent goblin flinging gifts at chosen mortals. The coffee.... the coffee. Brewed by a barista who may have once been a shaman, the flat white shared secrets. The atmosphere, like being hugged by a velvet bear in a log cabin built by monks who understand everything. We had a chat with Mick about life, meat, and the nature of gravy. At one point, he levitated slightly while describing his sausage procurement strategy. The location is prime, trees bowed politely as we sipped. In short, The Lodge is not just a coffee house. It’s a mystical experience wrapped in cured meat and friendliness. Five out of five cosmic beans. Would definitely go again.”

“Delicious mocha, calm atmosphere, very friendly staff at this family business. Great for a leisurely coffee while exploring the area.”

“Absolutely lovely place. Got a delicious brie & cranberry panini. Highly recommended.”

“Beautiful food and cakes. Had the special salad that day and it was first class. Then a paradise cake with great coffee.”

“Great experience, the cafe is very ricked away, and to its benefit, the whole place has a calm ans casual atmosphere that can be a bit hard to get in Edinburgh during the Fringe. I loved everything I got, and my dog enjoyed his pup cup and treats, as well as the calm atmosphere... Which he broke for a momment with a single high pitched bark for attention... Sorry about that!”
