Word Of Mouth Cafe - Edinburgh, City of

I recently had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant. I enjoyed a fresh toasted ciabatta sandwich with mozzarella, tomatoes, salad, and pesto. The mozzarella was incredibly creamy and all the ingredients were very fresh. I highly recommend this place for lunch, and the coffee is also excellent. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff is friendly, making it a great experience all around.

This cafe in Edinburgh is probably my favorite. The staff is great, the coffee is superb and roasted on site. The croque monsieur is the best sandwich in the city. They also have a great selection of breakfast options and a wide variety of cakes and tray bakes. The atmosphere is always good.

Went on a Sunday around 11. The place was very busy but the service, food and coffee were exceptional. Bacon and black pudding on ciabatta very tasty.

Where to begin? Not only does this wee, unpretentious cafe make the BEST COFFEE KNOWN TO HUMAN KIND, but it also serves an absolutely perfect eggs Benedict! Already getting busy at 09:30 on a Saturday morning, we got a table no problem and swift and friendly staff attended within seconds, like a highly efficient pack of catering-raptors. The cafe latte is without doubt the best I have tasted EVER. Every previous cup of coffee merely becomes another blur in what can only be described as 51 years of disappointment in comparison. Dave’s ‘full breakfast’ was exactly that, and considering the speed of its destruction, and the popularity and frequency of its ordering, I’d say it is a crowd pleaser. Believing I am above such things, I opted for the Eggs Benedict, which was not just visually beautiful, but a light, delicious flavour extravaganza. The portion size was perfect and freshly milled black pepper was the icing on the cake. Talking of cakes, it is impossible to look at the array of delicious confections that greet you at the door without either drooling out your own pelvis, or ordering them all and spending the morning stuffed, happy, unable to move, with chocolate all over your face placed with the precision of an 18 month old infant with a large bar of dairy milk. Love this place, and don’t visit it enough.

Tried this little cafe for the first time and was very disappointed. Perhaps the other food is better but their Bacon Panini (they don’t do a bacon roll) was pretty awful. They were so dry, we couldn’t eat them.We also had tattie scones which were awful too. Nothing wrong with the tattie scones as such but they had not been fried or toasted. I suspect they were maybe microwaved but in any event, they were not nice at all. Given the total for the two paninis was almost £10, we were not impressed and would certainly not recommend this place. It’s a shame as we are local and wanted to like it.
