Okay if you google best dessert places in Edinburgh, you will read about Coro Chocolate. First, they're open later than most places, not by much but enough that it counts. Second, their team (whose names now I have forgotten which is a shame) are extremely helpful and patient. They know their stuff. I was seated quickly and was given the menu and my eyes...my eyes were bigger than my stomach which is the other shame. My favorite was the Millionaire Shortbread Crepe. I mean come on. That thing was decadent, rich and just enough. That was probably the only dessert I was able to complete. Next, was similar to what we Americans call a pazookie. Nutella everywhere. I should've known that this would be the richest, creamiest and thickest of all. I probably should've ordered water but instead I craved a hot chocolate. I also ordered a hot chocolate which was dark chocolate I believe. Perfect for the cold weather. Unfortunately was stuffed by the time this came out. 10/10 recommend. Service is spectacular, team is friendly and genuinely enjoys being there and desserts, I mean cmon you can tell by the photos. Worth the hype. Worth the money and overall just a good place to hangout after exploring the city. read more

Staff was nice and the spot is cutely decorated. Upon walking in you smell the sweet aroma of Chocolate. They have pancakes, waffles, bubble waffles, and crepes and you can create your own (each topping is extra) . They also have brownies, cake, or cookie dough bites and hot chocolate. We ordered the Nutella hot chocolate and the brownie with ice cream (extra). FYI they put marshmallow UNDER the whipped cream and one on top with the hot cocoa. I liked the cocoa, disliked the brownie. The brownie tasted more like a chocolate cake to my daughter and I. My daughter disliked the cocoa but liked the brownie. I also feel like for the price of the ice cream, it can be a bigger scoop. I was so excited to try this spot but overall, I feel it could've been skipped on our trip read more

Was excited to eat here a last week. However, left pretty disappointed. Ordered the death by chocolate and my mom had a savory crepe. Both were just fine. Not worth the hype. My biggest complaint was being seated in the weird extra seating/storage room. Despite having a reservation. One of the staff washed dishes behind us for half our time there. Boxes stacked everywhere and blocking the window. The ambience was just very off putting. The main dining area looked cute though when we passed through... read more

10 stars! This was such a fun experience with our kids we came back twice. I highly recommend the fondue for two because it has a bit of everything: strawberries, bananas, pancakes, toasted marshmallows and waffle pieces plus all 3 chocolates. read more

A fun cafe in new town that served delicious ice cream and waffles. When you enter, the staff will have to seat you then you go back up to the counter to order. It can get a bit crowded at the entrance when people are waiting to be seated so it's better to go when they are not too busy My pistachio ice cream was super yummy! read more

We had gone there after seeing a tik tok making the place seem like it was out of Willy Wonka. All of these amazing creations that made us all start to drool. We get there and if you are going to eat anything on their promotional video, you better figure out how to make it yourself. You have to pick all of the options one by one, and the end result is less impressive for sure. All ice cream is good but portions are small. Their video more than oversold the reality of eating there. read more

Great place to have sinful desserts. We had the bubble waffle with a lot of great toppings. Will give u a sugar rush for sure. read more

£12 FOR DISAPPOINTMENT AND A CUP OF WHIPPED AIR £2 FOR A TASTE OF WHIPPED CREAM -- ABSURD Showed up at 21:30 (posted closing is 22:00) and was almost turned away. Finally ordered, only to get fleeced with ridiculous add-ons: £2+ for a few berries, £1-2 for basic sauce, and the kicker -- £2 for hardly a mouthful of whipped cream in a tiny plastic cup. Nearly £12 and 10 mins later (even being the ONLY CUSTOMER), I was handed a bland, forgettable waffle I couldn't even eat inside because the dining area was already "closed." Overpriced, underwhelming, and misleading -- Edinburgh has some wonderful dessert spots, and this is absolutely not one of them. Save your money and time by going literally anywhere else. read more

Ambience is warm and inviting. Staff was very friendly. The gooey Chocolate brownie smothered dark chocolate ganache absolutely melted in my mouth. Chocolate heaven. read more

Ah yes, the sweet reward when promised behaviors are delivered after verbal contracts between parent and child... lol. We told the kiddo we'd get a treat if he just waited patiently while perusing through the streets of Old Edinburgh. I found Coro Chocolate was nearby after we were done sightseeing and we decided to pop-in despite not having reservations (the host asked everyone if they had reservations). The cafe was bustling with patrons, but thankfully we were seated right away and it seems that tables are turned quickly. The menu is surprisingly large which makes decision making quite arduous, but worth it! You'll find fondues, crepes, pancakes, waffles, cakes, ice creams, shakes, coffee, combos, and more. You're basically in dessert heaven! I ordered the Lotus Biscuit Crepe and our little one went with the Fruit Fondue for one which came with a selection of fresh strawberries, bananas, raspberries, clementine, and marshmallows, with a dipping cup of melted chocolate (your choice of milk, dark, or white). Both came out quickly and looked like works of art! What the heck. They were almost too pretty to eat, almost. Our son loved dipping the fruits in the chocolate and devoured the whole thing. I also really enjoyed my lotus biscuit crepe as the biscuit gave it a nice texture and the chocolate they used was delish as well. It was not overly sweet and paired with the ice cream beautifully. So good! Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would go back if ever we're in Edinburgh again. Highly recommend this spot if you're hankering for something sweet. read more

I'm obsessed with strawberries, especially when they are covered in chocolate so this spot was a must do for me on my recent trip to Scotland. We did not have a reservation when we popped in and the employees very kindly found us a spot anyway. The dark chocolate fondue platter is amazing! Very much enjoyed this place. read more

We were in Edinburgh for 3 days and we stopped by this place twice. I had the crepe's and my daughter had bubble waffles. They were absolutely delicious, they use very high quality ingredients. Service was good and place was clean. I would definitely go back if in town again. Also their cappuccino was pretty good. read more

Okay food but not great service. Basically this place is a cafe with a large selection of chocolate based dessert. You can find chocolate waffles, chocolate cheesecake, hot chocolate and more here. When we went the store was sold out of several items. I ended up with death by chocolate and a coffee. The death by chocolate cake was very sweet but decent. Coffee was very average. Service was horrible. Could not get help. Could not get our check. Bunch of students working there and they just didn't seem to care. read more

The food was fine i kept getting shouted at 3 stars there was one staff in predictly that was shouting at me

absolutely delicious food and great service. the servers were very kind and the feel is friendly, cozy, and can't really be beaten. the food is reasonably priced and sized and it came out in a fairly short amount of time. and you can see the staff making every bit of your food right from your table. if you're a big sweets person, i 100% recommend giving Coro a visit. read more

Very delicious, although a little too much sugar for my taste. If you are a Nutella lover then this is the place for you. We have the peanut butter crepe and the fruit waffle, quite delicious. It's definitely worth the try. Also it was very convenient for the time of day we went (around 2030). read more

The service speed was crazy, very quick and efficient. Friendly and down to Earth the staff were. We got sat and given the right amount of time to settle and choose what we wanted before we were approached. Important point. Anyway we got Pancakes and Ice-cream/bananas, it was soooo bloody good. I'm gonna have diabetes but by God it was amazing. Sugar rush I think yes! Quickly brought to us with hot pancakes and Cold milkshake. Everything looked amazing and tasted fantastic. Presentation great. Only point that I'd make that I think isn't nessesery or I don't want to affect your judgement going here is there can sometimes be a couple right beside you who need to know their boundaries of PDA (public display of affection) amazing please visit alone or with friends you'll have a blast! read more

Just craving chocolate crepe, while this fit the bill I agree with others that it could be better. I ordered dark chocolate with fresh raspberries, which was a good amount of. It's just crepe was chewy and dry. Winter red tea was very nice with it though. Would not go back though... would try elsewhere... read more

Absolutely delicious. I had the Afogatto coffee (espresso with a scoop of ice cream) and my friend and I split the Caramel Shortbread waffle. Best waffle ever, better than my Belgian waffle experience! The sandwich we had beforehand was also very good and healthy, combatting the large amount of sugar following it. This place is a must try! read more

We were looking for some sweetness around 9pm yesterday, after a disappointing dinner and we found Coro! Ther girls were young and nice and you could see they were having fun. We had 1 hot cake and 1 waffle and they were bothh amazing! We also had 2 "shots" of dark chocolate and it was delicious. We will definitely go back asap! read more

Had chocolate cake and crepe. The cake was unfortunately pretty dry. Granted, we went close to closing time. Crepe was okay, but nothing extraordinary read more

A relaxed chocolate shop. Good food, everything chocolate. Chocolate pancakes, chocolate waffles, hot chocolate, get the picture.

This chocolate cafe place was really amazing!! We had to wait a bit in line before getting seated because so many people wanted to get their hands on their amazing creations, but it was well worth the wait!! The waffles and crepes are freshly made, hot and sweet, the chocolate is to die for and they offer a wide variety of toppings/sauces, cakes, waffles, pancakes, crepes, hot chocolates, coffees, etc. You MUST stop here if you are a foodie like me :) read more

Really busy even at 7:30pm, staff weren't the smartest or best but love the food
