Cramond Falls Cafe April 7/2015…read more This sweet wee cafe is a treasure. Plenty of seating outside (great for dog owners), and lovely seating inside. Sat on the big sofa inside; wonderful seat. They have heated coconut with honey available on the menu. It was stunning! See attached photo. My sister and I really had a lovely time. Even stayed longer to have a tea after we finished our morish soup. Our waitress was fluid, thoughtful and attentive. Marjena was her name. 4 stars. A bit frantic when one waitress down/off sick that day, but they all handled it super well.

Good coffee, delightful service and the best cheese scone I have eaten in Edinburgh…read more It's in a great spot next to the water and worth a few extra minutes walk from the beach as coffee spots there are rather average to say the least! Will definitely be back to try their breakfast. Oh, and the fireplace! Mustn't forget the fireplace :)

Came here for brunch after a late start in Edinburgh, and it was delicious! We had the French Toast…read morewith back bacon, which tasted heavily of eggs, but was good! We also had mochas which were not too sweet but very good ! Very cute little shop for either sit-in or takeaway, with art for sale in the back. Ambience was nice, and there were people there working on laptops as well as sitting down for a nice meal.

So on a Monday morning on Broughton Street, where to go since our first choice was shut :( Oh…read morewell, save that one for a cheeky mid week cake session!! First impression it was bright red on the outside but quite neutral on the inside. The lady said she would be with us shortly to take our order, a wee bit of a wait as I was going to go and check out the cakes showing themselves off at the window! Loads to choose from and the slice is a good potion, thank goodness I was sharing! I choose for both of us: The "white chocolate and pear" cake. I could taste the white chocolate but not really much pear. But it had a nice crumb. Coffee was a Cappuccino but I like mine stronger and less milky, but it was drinkable and managed with no sugar, which in it's self is a winner. For 2 small cappuccinos and a big piece of cake it was reasonable and would come back to grab one of the takeaway sandwiches as they sounded really nice!

Treated like a transaction not a customer. Out of all the people and businesses we've encountered…read morein Scotland, this one is the least friendly. First, we did not receive the usual welcome; instead, as we placed our backpacks down at a table and began to choose cold drinks from the cooler, we received a concerned inquiry from the staff about our status as paying customers. After we purchased a few items, we sat down to enjoy them. The staff asked us to pay the difference of £3.85 for staying instead of leaving. Honestly, this seemed a little petty. I'm not sure if this is everywhere or just a here thing, but the way in which it was handled was off putting.

After hiking up to Colton hill in the cold rain we stopped here for a spot to rest for a bit. They…read morehave sandwiches, soups, coffee, and pastries. We ordered the leek and potato soup with bread. Chicken and bacon panini, flat white, mocha, and a chocolate twist croissant. The soup was fresh and hot. Bread was fresh and nicely sliced with softened butter. Paninis are premade and you can have it warned up. I personally would pass on it since the chicken and bacon was scarce. Too much bread for our liking. The chocolate twist was amazing! Chocolate chips twisted up in the croissant. Went really well with our coffees. Mocha and flat white was really good and strong. Cute latte art. The ladies working the counter were nice and friendly and the tables were cleaned up quickly. Overall a good spot to stop for breakfast or lunch or to enjoy a nice warm latte.

love the couches! Honestly, I've walked by here so often,…read morewould have never noticed it if my friend didn't take me there. It's a white door which takes you to stairs, and the cosy coffee house is on the first floor. I had a white chocolate which I would not rate very high. Not rich enough flavour, more sugary milk. I am quite picky being Belgian maybe, but still. However, my sandwich (grilled) was great! I had the hummus cream cheese chargrilled veggies panini, yummy! Came with greens and potato salad. They custom made it with no onions for me. I really like the cosiness, friendly staff, and will be back if I look for a chill cafe to catch up with friends.

It may not look much but the food is really good! Nice and cosy litle place…read more Nice view, not to crowded. They have more then the scottish breakfust. I found it here on yelp. And i just Love this place!

Four of us went in there preparing to have lunch and the owner was so rude about using the bathroom…read morethat we decided to spend our money down the street at a much nicer café. If we could give zero stars we would.

Stopped by for a quick snack and cup of coffee after hiking Arthur's Seat. I got a vanilla latte…read moreand a fruit scone. The service was friendly and very fast. The latte was well made and just the thing I needed to warm me up after hiking in the cold for a few hours. The scone was a little dry, but the jam and butter they provided definitely helped. The interior is nondescript, but it seems like they have a nice patio area out back that would be nice once the weather warms up.

I discovered this wee place last year when I was working at Paterson's Land venue just down the…read moreroad,a dn it ended up being my favourite place to eat in a part of town that doesn't have a vast choice of eateries. Circus is just off the Royal Mile enough to be slightly less manic during the Festival, although it is handy for venues that are down that end of the aforementioned street, as well as the Pleasance. It gets fairly busy, but seems able to absorb pretty much anything that you throw at it, as I never saw anyone having to wait for a table. The 'people love us on Yelp!' sticker on the door was a definite enticement to enter too! The highlight of the space is the wee garden courtyard at the back, which is good for larger groups and I imagine would be heavenly on a sunny day; sadly I've always been on my own when I've visited and have never made it any further than the main bit at the front. The cuisine is varied bistro-style with a middle-Eastern slant. The menu isn't huge, but it's good for me as there are a couple of veggie and fishy options to try. The staff have always been attentive and friendly when I've been in and the service is pretty rapid even when they're busy. On this occasion I opted for the veggie breakfast, and was very pleasantly surprised with what turned up. No baked beans, for a start! Instead, there was a small amount of green salad. It still had the usual staples of veggie sausages (nice), mushrooms hash browns and potato scones (nice and crisp, not greasy at all), scrambled eggs (fluffy), and fried tomato - which I left as I'm not a big fan of those. Overall, one of the best veggie breakfasts I've had. The coffee's not too shabby either.

Seems to be pretty focused on breakfast and lunch, which does the job for me fine. I ordered the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon for a very respectable £4. It arrived in good time, was hot, tasty and filling. Just what you need for a lunch on a Monday! The pancakes were thick and fluffy, just how I like them, and there was plenty maple syrup to go with. The cakes looked epic, so I opted for a caramel shortbread to take away. I think it was home-made and the side of a small door stop. Yum! Decor-wise, it's ye old thrift shop style, with old gramophones, mismatched furniture and bunting. Shelves are brimming with knick knacks and odds and sods and there's plenty to have a nose at. Only minor gripe is that the place was quite cold and didn't feel cosy. I had to keep my jacket on for the entire meal. Brr!

Jolly British and great value…read more... We read about this place in The Week and thought we must visit when we were seeing friends on our spring getaway from Vermont... So overall the all day breakfast was good value, but I felt there was perhaps a little too much grease on some items, and the bacon could have been of a better quality....but I am a bacon snob and also an member of the British Sausage Appreciation society! And prey you may think what does he know to comment so much????? Well I spend 10 months of the year cooking fryups for our American clients at the inn I co-own...so I think I know a great breakfast when I see one! The rest of our party had combination items of scrambled eggs/toast and bits of cooked vegetable...all seemed happy. A point I think needs addressing is the tea...which was very poor. It lacked flavour, colour and strength. If strong tea is too strong you can weaken it...but you cannot reverse this process! Also on the day we visited it was cold....and the cafe never warmed up enough, so Cafe Creatives invest in some extra heaters or insulate your fire door, as half of the Forth winds were blowing in through them there cracks! The staff did seem overworked and I would agree the initial meet and greet needs sharpening up as table waiting folks seem to mill around and get in their way, and also the way of the seated clients. The overall atmosphere is very jolly and British and has an originality about it.
