The only good thing about this cafe is the location, seating and atmosphere. The food is not worth it. No taste of whipped cream or cream cheese in any of the pastries or cakes, it just tasted sugar, too much sugar. Spend your money elsewhere.
The best oat milk latte I've had so far and the carrot cake was delicious!
The food was good but items had run out, including soup, with a limited sandwich choice when we arrived around 3pm. There was plenty of seating for our group of 21 and later, sandwiches were replenished. Lovely cakes too.
Nice Café at the palace.
Tables inside and with good weather outside.
Nice selection of teas, coffee and cake.
So this is a good place to have a tea at the palace.

If the weather is fine, it's worth having tea and maybe a cake in the courtyard. They serve pots of tea for a very reasonable price and the tables outside are pleasant. The cakes are good, although those with icing were too sweet for our taste. We didn't try any of the salty food. The indoor space smelled like a locker room and I definitely wouldn't have wanted to sit in there
front terrace and inside was quite busy here, but in the backyard there were only us. and you can see Arthur’s Seat from there also.. they didn’t have ice coffee option but if you ask they can make it. had cappuccino myself, was a bit bland. it might be better to have tea here.
Very pleasant experience. Had the Spicy Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk soup. Nice balance and flavour. Clean tables even during a busy lunch service. Clean toilets, not always the case in tourist areas with high traffic. Will be back
