    Delicious hot chocolate
    Julie C.

    Looking for a chill nice breakfast. Great breakfast offerings and wonderful drinks. Everything very fresh and made immediately. Lots of care and very nice staff. 10/10 Recommend.

    Chorizo, poached egg, sliced avocado, sourdough toast, spinach and tomato salad with lemon, chimichurri sauce

    Visited Milk for breakfast as it is close to my hotel, and although the place is small, the service is efficient and food was delicious. I had chorizo on sourdough toast with avocado, a poached egg, and a spinach and tomato salad. Although simple, it was very filling and well priced. I also ordered a mocha and it was quite good. Would visit again while in Edinburgh's West End.

    Great vibe, light atmosphere, fresh food! Very sweet spot for a quick coffee and bite.

    Well the place is defo quirky and the ideal place if you wanna be 'cool' but for £8, the breakfast wasn't very big. The Chorizo Burrito though was amazing and well worth the money. The reason my review is 2 stars is the service. The place has 5 tables and after finishing eating, we waited 25 minutes while the staff walked by us on a number of occasions and stood behind the counter pottering about. We were hoping for some cake but after that wait we decided to just leave. Overall - food pretty decent but overpriced and extremely slow service (which for a shop that can seat 16 people is rather poor)

    Nothing like a good flat white to start off the morning

    Small, good fresh food, friendly people I had their mushroom & rosemary breakfast burrito. It came with a tasty salad with some sort of a citrus vinaigrette dressing along with a side of long grain rice. The cook brought out our food and split the portions in half as we just ordered one burrito. Their flat white was also just the thing and was perfect, albeit strong coffee.

    When it comes to desserts, I have no self-control...Especially for something really chocolatey! Normally I eat pretty healthy breakfast, but sometimes I do forget my morning ritual. Like this time...I couldn't resist ordering the chocolate stout brownie cake. I finished it all as my first meal of the day! Warning: the cake is rich, super Rich but moist with a hint of bitterness from stout. It is something to die for! However...One man's meat is another man's poison. I hope you will like it as much as I do.

    I have passed Café Milk a few times and liked the look of it from the outside. The old syrup tins with cutlery in them on the tables always looked quirky and fun. I wanted to try somewhere new for my lunch and went in for a sandwich. There was only one pre-made vegetarian sandwich so that made that choice. I couldn't see any prices on the sandwiches and when the lady rang it through the till it was £3.90! I thought that was a bit expensive for just a sandwich to take away, especially since across the road you can get a fresh made sandwich / crisps and a juice for £3.50. The sandwich was nice but not nice enough for me to want to go to regularly. Check out my picture too.

    While in Edinburgh for the weekend I was looking for a nice place where to brunch on Sunday close to my hotel. The positive Yelp reviews I read for Cafe Milk convinced me to get there. We arrived around noon and got a table for 2. The menu was mouth-watering, it was very hard to make a choice. While my husband went for a classic English (full) breakfast, I went for the chorrizo burrito served with mixed rice and salad. Less than £6, I was very worried with what I was about to get... But it was a very very good surprise. Plate was a full meal and delicious. I was expecting a half dry burrito difficult to eat, I got a smooth and tasty plate. Except maybe for the service (average) the place is one of the best option in the neighbourhood for a brunch/lunch/tea time! Thank you Yelp for the discovery :)

    Enjoying a good breakfast

    Love the breakfast. We're on vacation and making this place a frequent stop. The tea and the cappuccino are delicious

    While staying in Edinburgh for a few days on our European vacation we came across Milk just down the road from our flat. We were a family of 6 and managed to fit just fine. Plenty of menu options, even for a vegetarian. Delicious and cute lattes. We went back for a second time because it had been the best food we had our whole trip to Scotland. Our children love it as well. I didn't catch the owners name but she was very friendly and made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend.

    Macchiato and Mocha
    Hannah M.

    This place is super cute and has a very friendly and helpful staff. The kitchen is also committed to making sure you really enjoy your food. We got eggs and spinach on toast. The bread was fresh and delicious and the eggs were light and well cooked. The flavors on the eggs and spinach were very good. We got a decaf Americano, Macchiato, and a Mocha. The Mocha was not too sweet with a nice layer of foam on top and my mom said the decaf was of the best coffees she's ever had. The Macchiato was too bitter and we don't recommend it. The baked goods were okay and left more to be desired but overall a great breakfast spot with delicious main plates.

    This is a quirky restaurant in Old town Edinburgh. Limited menu but food is excellent and lattes are better

    Sweet place. Built on the site of an old time chemistry larder (what is it?) from time bygone, now…read morecall vintage, very cool. I had a gluten free Frittata, really tasty, the dressing on the salad was smashingly good. And a pot of Secret Herb Duchess Grey with steamed soy and honey. It was strong, in Scotland they know how to make a cup of teah! The honey was fragrant with flowers. The soy thick and creamy. Thumbs up. Beware, they close -- why? -- between 5 and 6pm for a rest and reset. If you come at 4:45 and order something, it's a short stay. I came again and had a Kaleidoscope soda and the poem on the label: What you are I'll never know or barely care to ask. But if I did I'd ask you if, you'd lived or chose to pass? Did you fill your summer days or pass them in a haze? And summer nights to dizzy heights, in noisy city street? First times, first loves, all set to burst, the way it ought to be. Though now it seems to pass me by, I scarcely stop to see. And in the end, I am these things I barely comprehend, Kaleidoscope of memory, is all the parts of me.

    This is a good place to relax in - a bright space with a wide selection of teas including fair…read moretrade and organic, and cakes, sandwiches, soup, etc. It's quite a popular place. The prices are not too bad, either. Also, it is in a brilliant district for charity shop shopping, as there are several shops in the same street that often have great bargains in them. This is a daytime cafe and closes in the evening.
