Reviews
The croissant was delicious and soft, and the staff member was very patient while I decided what I wanted, haha. It was a great place to stop before exploring more of the city!
I don’t normally write reviews, but this place really deserves it. The number 9 baguettes are out of this world and the staff are so lovely and accommodating. You must give it a try!
Had breakfast made by Stefano’s mum. A lovely Italian family run business and Stefano made us feel welcome. A tiny place that is greatly enhanced by the owners’ warmth. Very nicely located and walking distance from Edinburgh Castle
Food is amazing. Clean quick and with good service. Taste was well beyond any run of the mail chain outlet. Well worth a stop in.
The pastries are simply delicious. Always visit here when we are in Edinburgh. Costs me a small fortune but worth every penny.
Always fast and friendly service.

Lots of options available both ready made and upon request. The food is excellent quality and fresh.
It can be busy over lunch but the staff are always friendly.

Great experience with Kenny whilst myself and partner spent the day at the xmas market in the pouring rain, the Hot Chocolate (without marshmallows but with a Christmas brownie) was well received and made our day. Thanks 5***
It was the perfect place to have breakfast before going to the Christmas market.
Amazing service and excellent food.

The best waffles in Edinburgh! Coffee and cappuccino are very good too.
The place isn't very big so be prepared to queue up a bit sometimes, but it's totally worth it!

A Gem..Loved it, freshly cooked food, freshly brewed coffee what more could you want. It was perfect for me. Small but a very calm surrounds and the blues playing in background. Perfect start to the day. We had the waffles and I looked around lots opting for the eggs, but all the plates were clean going back to kitchen. There was.no fuss or flapping. Owner was so friendly and helpful. Definitely not to be missed.
Coffee was pretty good. Service was friendly and fast by a solo barista during morning rush hour. How did she manage?
AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!

Really good cafe with lots of good food and amazing atmosphere!
The strawberry and bacon with maple syrup waffle is a combo I never thought about trying, but it is so delicious!! The waggle is so fluffy and thick, the bacon is super crispy, can’t stop thinking about them !! The portion is great too 🧇
The breakfast panini is great too, such a good variety on the menu! The cafe is super soft with really chill music and decor. Service is freshly and welcoming!!
Highly recommend this cafe, great location as well.

Gluten free canoli was lovely, although isn't completely separate from gluten products - they did warn me of this.
Opposite of abundance. I almost never leave bad reviews, but the food was quite pricey (11 pounds for one waffle) which stood in contrast to portion size and quality (one small quare waffle cut in half, very small handful of fruits, red sugar syrup). It was fine, but not what I expected. (I used to go to the cafe which was there before Seven, called cafe class, and it was quite a difference).
Love this magical place packed with kindness and delicious food. Amazing full breakfast is honestly the best I have ever had - meat, vegetarian, or vegan- is accompanied by proper sourdough bread and not to be missed. Fabulous, handmade cakes. Friendly staff. Grab breakfast, lunch or brunch and enjoy the very special energy of SEVEN.
Best spot for a quick and tasty lunch in the area, by far! Sandwich combinations are original and delicious, and the salads and soups always hit the spot and the menu is reasonably priced. Service is very friendly and caring. There’s usually always a space for you to sit and enjoy your lunch. Highly recommend!
I have been coming to this starbucks for nearly a year now, the staff have amazing energy, even when dealing with people who don't know how it all works, they are patient, welcoming, and accommodating, it's like an episode of cheers when you are there if you are a regular!
Special shout out especially for Goodness, always has a big smile and rocking hair styles!
Everyone there keep up the good work, I can be walking into work in a foul mood and just being in your store for 5 minutes helps lighten my mood!
Thanks again guys!

First stop as a bloody yank. Was just the pep I needed. Great little shop!
Friendly atmosphere, nice interior decorations. Buddha Bowl was fun. Smaller portion than expected. Surprising meaty stock flavour in the vegetarian dish. Quite expensive.
A nice and busy little cafe. Full Scottish breakfast was great. Nice coffee, friendly service. Worthwhile stop for brunch.
Breakfast roll is just okay, you can skip this one. Great memories.
After they changed the staff, it becomes the most horrible Starbucks I have visited. They use the flat lid for drink with cream on the top. Don’t order any cold brew in this store, you will get one terrible latte or very bitter drink. And they are using the wrong kind of cream for cold brew all the time.
You cannot miss this cafe, amazing house breakfast - they made really delicious haggis. Also recommend for goat cheese salad. Reasonable price, good service and friendly staffs.
Lovely little cafe in central Edinburgh. Support the local community by doing free meals for homeless people and many other great schemes. Many of their employees used to be homeless, not many businesses offer such practical and life changing support. Had a coffee and sausage bap there, very nice.
Starbucks is always good. We have been there a few times. Plenty parking spaces and lots of room inside. Service is pretty good as well.
The Wall is my favorite place to study in Edinburgh - the coffee is amazing and they have so many food options that are all delicious. The staff is so sweet and they play the best music.
Service was excellent. Coffee was tasty. The stone and banana cake also delicious. I sat outside which was a great opportunity to watch people walk up and down.
When you give beverages, could you shoutout customers name? Seriously, worst starbucks ever. Staffs are not friendly.
This location doesn’t have the breakfast offerings shown on the website, but nonetheless what we did get (paninis and coffee) were tasty. Just not exactly what we were after. Service was good as well.
Lovely cafe - excellent sandwiches and great coffee.
Food, cakes and drinks are all lovely! I'm really picky about my tea but it's always spot on here. The staff are very friendly to. It's always my favourite spot to stop when I'm in the city centre. Definitely do not miss out X
It was surprisingly good. Was tempted to give my name as Psycho for the coffee but was too tired after shopping though revived afterwards over a latte and a piece of lemon cake.
There isn't much not to like! A small but cozy spot to have a coffee or tea in a relaxing atmosphere.☕️
The space to eat in is limited but the restaurant is usually quiet, so my husband and I never had trouble getting a table for two. We ate here twice on our first trip to Edinburgh and now a third time when we came back!
The food and drinks are delicious and the service is always efficient and polite. Worth the visit for a tasty breakfast/brunch.

Nestled on a charming side street off Princess Street, Papii boasts a cozy atmosphere that greets you with the fragrant symphony of coffee and the joyful chorus of breakfast feasting.
Our mocha and iced mocha adventure turned out to be more coffee than cocoa, but we trudged ahead, encouraged by the heft of the servings that could double as dumbbells.
With grand aspirations, we summoned the eggs royale and eggs Benedict with bacon onto our culinary stage. Alas, the hollandaise seemed to have missed its seasoning seminar, leaving us in saucy sadness. The visual allure of the dishes cruelly betrayed our taste buds. Oh, the menu prices, a secret recipe for soaring expectations dashed.
Yet, a bright spot shone through the clouds of under-seasoning—the service! Efficient gentlemen danced around, sprinkling welcoming charm over our misadventures in taste.
In the grand tapestry of experiences, Papii’s threads weave a middling pattern. Three stars sparkle in the review sky, a constellation of potential slightly obscured by seasoning woes. 🌟🌟🌟

Lovely little Caffe. In a street full of them, it stands out for its simplicity. The menu is in a chalk board behind the bar, where you order and pay. The food comes displayed in a little box, that adds to the charm of the place. You can see ingredients are fresh and carefully presented. I'd avoid other Caffe's on that street that look too impersonal, and go hear again in a heartbeat.
Also, decent prices 😊

This place is close to work and is my favourite lunch stop. The sandwiches are very delicious, quickly prepared, and reasonably priced. The staff is always providing friendly and efficient service.
It's a small space but normally there are seats available in case you want to sit in

Lovely shop. Two ladies who worked there were so nice and friendly. Had an egg and tattoo scone breakfast roll. It was delicious and very reasonably price for a well filled roll. Thank you so much!
Home of the famous number 9. A must try when visiting Edinburgh A grilled chicken baguette or wrap with their secret recipe homemade chipotle sauce Select your spice level from low (1) to hot (5). Exquisite coffee with the option to buy beans to take home. Grab a cannoli when passing, freshly made with different fillings available. A selection of popular wraps and baguettes some pasta options and more. What else to say really...
Muffin was dry, bacon roll was mediocre for the cost. Seats were not clean...crumbs and bits all on them. Cost was not great value, however chap serving was lovely and Earl Grey tea was really good. Cavernous dark place with no real character.
Great to come here for a coffee on my way home after the gym
We got a table outside on a sunny day and it was divine on this pedestrian street. The tea is served in small individual pots (breakfast tea and Earl grey are both good, the cranberry tea wasn't to our taste) and there are plenty of cakes and savory snacks to choose from. Everything came out quickly and we had a nice time basking in the Scottish sunshine
Good experiance and the steak and cheese panini was the best 👌 my hot chocolate was massive too!
Nice starbucks, space to work, not top noisy. Drinks are made quickly and service is friendly.
It's Starbucks. What did you expect me to say? The staff where grumpy which leads me to feel that management are a built rubbish and don't treat the staff right. Every other Starbucks in the city the staff at least smile. But here... Something felt off.
Please tip them well.

This amazing little cafe is worth a special trip. The menu is amazing and there’s loads of vegan and veggie choice. Recommend the Gozleme. The Turkish coffee is superb. The service is friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is chilled. Top place in Edinburgh.
It's a small coffee shop (as the name implies). The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are really good and the service is really friendly.
Lovely place with amazing waffles, probably the best in town. The Cajun Chicken sandwich was also incredible. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely return frequently :)
Loved this place - great stop for a morning tea/coffee and bacon&egg roll before a conference at the convention centre. The service was great, with super friendly staff.
Their smoothies are amazing, especially the tropical one!! I also love their Buddha bowl, so yummy
The service is great and the food is satisfactory. My husband ordered a cappuccino (very good) and the salmon eggs Benedict. I ordered the iced chai, mango smoothie, and yogurt granola bowl. Everything was fine but nothing stood out as exceptional. I would have liked more granola in the yogurt bowl.
Great Starbucks just 2mins walk from Princes Street, although there are just a few seats by the windows most of the seating is upstairs.
Great choice of drinks and tasty snacks / meals.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.

There’s a range of pastries to choose!! And the coffee was good.
Store located in a good location near shopping area. Good for taking a break and recharging. The cup of cappuccino tastes good 👍
Marvellous staff! Excellent service, soups and sandwiches are a good option for lunch break. Just a couple of seats inside (perfect) or grab a bite to takeaway, lovely Wee Coffee Bar.
Beautiful little Italian cafe with very friendly staff. Had the most delicious sandwich I’ve tried here! Would highly recommend. Also has a variety of cold drinks which are very necessary with the current warm weather.
One of the best baguettes I have had in a long time. Delicious fresh baguette, Full of tasty ingredients. The original jalapeño sauce is to die for and the chicken is super well cooked. Nice little place to grab a sandwich and something sweet during your visit in Edinburg.
This is a disappointing version of Starbucks. It is the closest one to me and right next to my gym so I visit quite often. The food variety is very lacking and it seems that no matter what day or time it is, you will wait for your coffee a long time.
A lovely local cafe. The vegan breakfast is great...don't know how they make is so tasty with such simple ingredients. Warm and friendly atmosphere and usually buzzing for weekend brunches.
Nice staff and really nice cozy vibe ! Great food, really enjoyed the scones !
It was pleasant to have a coffee at Starbucks every time. A bit expensive but totally worth the money.
My frappe was great and was served really quickly! Very friendly staff. Would recommend coming to this branch!
Excellent gluten free bacon roll. Lovely service. Will be back, for sure!
I’ve been following The Wall on Instagram for YEARS! I had to visit when I finally got to Edinburgh. Delicious flat whites and a cozy environment!
The Wall Coffee and Design House is a lovely cafe that captures the essence of Old Town with its cozy ambiance and charming decor. It's a great place to grab a cup of coffee and relax in a cozy atmosphere. The decor is charming and well thought out, with exposed brick walls and vintage furniture that adds to the overall charm of the space.
No cinnamon swirls available. Disappointing. Good service otherwise though.
Returned 2 days later - still no cinnamon swirls!

Really enjoyed our we stop off here, lovely atmosphere and spacious. Staff very friendly and drinks and food were delicious 😋
Amazing place very organised, staff very friendly. I noticed the way they respect the homeless people is amazing. What a great place. A place like Social Bite is a present from gods.
Really love place and staff with managers are nice lovely people. Food is delicious with a nice choice of cold and hot meals. Recommend that place a lot
Happened upon this venue and we had great coffee lovely food and staff fantastic.will definitely return and all for a good cause.
Great place to get a hot baked potato and a filling. If you're feeling generous you can buy ahead on stuff too for the homeless. Definitely worth doing.
Found this amazing Starbucks coffee shop at Edinburgh Scotland UK. This place is around the corner from Edinburgh Christmas fair. Awesome coffee and super friendly staff. Perfect spot to start your day with coffee before you get started on a long drive.
Staff is very welcoming, can't say I didn't go for the name 😂 I was trying to go full Scottish and didn't disappoint, lots of locals passing by for breakfast rolls. Good bacon and egg roll and coffee.
Starbucks feels dear to me. Tall cappuccino, £3.05 a cup. But I had a stomachache immediately after I finished it and I’m not sure if it had anything to do with the coffee.
I was visiting Scotland and my hotel was around the corner I fancy something different so we went with My family for a trip to this place. The food is lovely, i tried their smoothies are fantastic, the service was impeccable the even change some bread according to my parents taste. They care about the planet they have lots of recycling points. Price were middle range.
If you're near the New Town and wanna have a coffee and delicious food this is your place! The girls that work here are lovely, very welcoming and good vibes :) Shout out to Maria for this gorgeous coffee art.
Went here for brunch. Plenty of options to choose from. I opted for the cheese and ham toastie with spinach and mustard. I also got a florentine cookie. The toastie was really nice however I didn’t get much mustard flavour. It was the first time I’ve ever had a florentine and it was delicious - bursting with flavour. There was plenty of places to sit and eat but I decided to takeaway. Staff were friendly and gave me a description of each sandwich on the counter, without even asking. I’ll be back again for sure to try something else. Can’t really fault my visit so it’s got to be 5 stars

Cosy little Starbucks located close to the University.
It is what anyone would expect from a Starbucks establishment; generally good food and drinks, with great service from the staff.
It is a fairly small site, so not very many seats to sit down at. The issues I find that brings the score down is the inability, that I've found, to get a seat each time I visit.
The majority of seats are taken by university students with their laptops out, studying. Where I have no issue with this, it can get a little frustrating when you would like to have a seat with your drink and there are people who have been sat in there for hours.
That aside, it's a nice branch.

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.
They always overcharge you. It has happened to me more than once. I take a small size but they charge you medium.
The other time I gave the exact change and they said there was money missing. I counted them three times!
They take advantage of people for reach the daily budget!

Had no problem at all, clean desks, nice location inside hotel lobby area, friendly staffs.
I love this place! Best salads around! I used to come here a lot before the pandemic as I work on Morrison street. The food is all so fresh and delicious, perfect lunch time spot. I always tend to go for a salad but their sandwiches and soups are also delicious! Staff are also super friendly.
Such a lovely cafe. Incredibly efficient service from a solo barista. Loads of delicious cake options with a wide variety of gluten free options. Easy access with a pram too. I will definitely be back.
Lovely, friendly staff and the cooked breakfasts were excellent.
Haggis and Scottish square sausage were a great addition.
Bill for two breakfasts with tea came to £21.

More expensive than other Starbucks in the city with no extra value. There is not much seating and what there is, is not particularly appealing. It is relatively dark inside and for most of the seats it feels like you are sitting in a large cool foyer - which you are.
It may be someone's cup of coffee but not mine.

Quick, efficient, convenient, coffee. Lacks a certain ambience. Would probably be a good place to read a murder mystery novel on a stormy day but I was there on a relatively clear day so I cannot make a definitive comment and I had my drink to go. 4 Star(bucks).
The place is very small for sitting in. Had to adjust with a spare chair at first to enjoy my drink of PSL. Anyways needs to scale up the inhouse sitting arrangement .
Always a cool place to stay. Very good service, friendly staff and nice place! The "coffee" is somewhat acceptable, sorry guys but a real coffee it's a different another thing
Nice Starbucks on George Street. Good service but is quite small if your looking for a place to sit down. Like all Starbucks in this area in the world, be prepared to pay more if you sit in and have food.
This is clearly a well kept and clean facility until...... you find yourself in the back. I took a wrong turn and stumbled across this mess! Fire extinguisher and fire exit blocked by rubbish leaking all over the floor.
Friendly staff. Great coffee. I'm a pain, can I have this with this, not that. Can you leave room for this. Nothing phases them. Favourite coffee shop. Can't say about any other Starbucks. Just craigleith
Good breakfast. Tasty coffee. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Prices are not expensive.
Not only is the staff lovely and accommodating (we were there to film a small documentary for college and stayed for lunch after) but they're also working towards a great cause. The food, drink, and service is beyond great and I love the pay it forward scheme they have going. If you're hungry and want to also help out a wonderful cause of trying to end homelessness in Edinburgh then look no further. Do yourself a favour and get the cheese and bean quesadilla it's mind blowing. The latte is gorgeous and my friends loved their food too (meatball panini, bacon sandwich, and tikka and onion bahji sandwich).
Nice place to chill out and having my favourite caramel macchiato coffee before continue to explore Edinburgh Old Town. The staffs are friendly. They even allow me to exchange my 2 x 5 Pounds bank notes to small coins of 1 Pounds, 2 Pounds and 50 Pence. There are enough places to charge your phone unfortunately all places are occupied. If you want to use toilet please ask the code from the staffs.
