Art and Vintage in Edinburgh, City of

I was tempted to pay this cafe a visit since it looks really appealing. We had 2 flat white and the lady was very nice. However, the coffee was really really bad we couldn’t drink it. If you’re used to drink good quality coffee this is not the place for you.

Always love coming here. Imaginative menu and delicious food. Very chilled atmosphere. Staff attentive and polite. Best of all??? It’s a no laptop cafe!

Great food and great service :)

Great cozy place for a delightful breakfast Delicious coffee!

Nice to see you open again. The carrot cake was stupendous.

My favourite place for a bowl of soup in Edinburgh. Lovely coffee too. Totally chilled atmosphere. Excellent service. What more do we need? Thank you 🙏❤️

Really lovely all day veggie breakfasts. Relaxed and the staff are always lovely. Can be a tad chilly which is possibly an “old Edinburgh building” thing.

Nice place for a coffee and cake. Open on a Monday ( lots of Edinburgh cafes are closed on Mondays) and was quiet but pleasant, friendly staff, coffee shop music. Lots of quirky items for sale, cards, soaps, vintage treasures. Well worth a visit

Lovely cosy place with big windows to look out of. Menu is varied and what I ordered was tasty, but portions are a bit diminutive (a great excuse to order dessert.) They sell cute arts and crafts, in my first visit I couldn’t resist and got some washi tape…

Very nice cafe. Came here twice for breakfast while visiting Edinburgh. Def would come back again!

Delicious mocha, one of the best I’ve ever had! Didn’t try the food, but the cakes and soups / brunch / sandwich options looked delicious. Baristas were super friendly. Also lovely local arts, tea ware and decorations available for purchase

Excellent beans on toast. Staff very friendly.

A beautiful corner cafe with big windows so you can watch the world go by. Not a lot of seating so can get packed on weekends and mornings. We tried to stop in a few times before being able to snag a table later in the afternoon for a late lunch. Service was very helpful and friendly. Food was incredible. Really loved that the sandwiches came with a variety of salads (that day it was cous cous, green and slaw). The mushroom soup was full of depth and flavour, and was satisfyingly thick. Also liked being able to browse the eclectic collection of art, crafts and vintage ceramics (although the way stuff is spread out could make it a bit hard to look at everything when the cafe is full, without being intrusive to other patrons).

Great spot! Had the full breakfast, went down a treat

A great discovery! Freshly made food, friendly staff and vintage stuff to look at while waiting.

little gem tucked away in Edinburgh's charming streets! Food and coffee are delish. Highly recommend the breakfast. Definitely going back 😁

A great place to enjoy time and for a healthy breakfast. The chef is very talented and often creates unique, one-of-a-kind menus. Follow them on Instagram to see the menus.

I live near this place and haven’t been that often; it’s usually been mid week, so not busy. However, the food is great and I’m looking forward to more regular visits for brunch.

Stumbled upon this place first morning in Edinburgh. Great food, service and souvenirs.

Delicious lunch, such good toasties, soup and salad

Kleiner süßer Laden mit kleiner feiner Karte. Vegetarier kommen auch auf ihre Kosten!... Tagessuppe ist sehr zu empfehlen... Kommen gerne wieder!!! 🤗

The best cooked breakfast you will ever have, I recommend it to everyone and it doesn’t disappoint.

Nice personnel. Really good food 😊

Got back to hotel and realised they didn’t put milk in the takeaway coffees. Breakfast roll wasn’t a roll, it was a bun and a bit smaller than what I expected. Tasted nice though. Nice chilled cafe with shop. Staff were friendly.

Pros: Beautiful ambience, polite and quick service, easily accessible location, delicious soups, nicely made tea and coffee ☕ Cons: Worst bakery in the area. The bread that came with soup was highly elastic. The scones were dry and crumbling like a cookie. This happened on a Sunday afternoon in summer. Advice: If you can walk a little bit further to Loudons or Clarinda's Tea Room, that'll get you best tea, coffee, cake, bread, and soup at the same or cheaper price. If you just want to have a nice cuppa in an artistically inclined place, this is your stop.

Loveliest little coffee shop with amazing coffee, great pancakes and very kind staff.

Lovely food and friendly helpful staff, very accommodating with regard to gluten free options, would definitely recommend! So many delicious options, I shall have to return to try more!

Quirky little boho establishment. A little caffe surrounded by fun gifts and unusual antiques on sale. A chilled vibe with a scrummy menu. Good vegan and vege options too which is great. Lovely staff. Delish food- albeit a tiny bit heavy with rosemary (I think) which I think is an acquired taste. Had great breakfast and lunches.

Delicious, freshly prepared food with great options for vegetarians and vegans, as well as friendly, welcoming staff who know how to run a really, really lovely cafe. Always a favourite on a visit to Edinburgh.

Posto davvero caratteristico, con addobbi e musica che ti accolgono in una splendida atmosfera vintage, luminosa e pulita. Personale gentilissimo, cibo incredibilmente buono. Abbiamo preso una full scottish breakfast ed un pancake accompagnati da un tea con latte ed un flat white davvero strepitosi! Assolutamente da provare!

Art & Vintage was recommended by our Airbnb host as a good place for breakfast. We loved it. Make sure to check out the specials before making final decisions. Husband had Scottish Breakfast and I had french toast. Some nice local items available for sale.

A very laid back arty sort of cafe, fab bakes, a great Scottish breakfast (post 6 Nations), lots of lovely wee trinkets & cards to buy, nice kind staff. Laptops not allowed, seems odd but means they’re not chewing up a table for 4 hours for the price of a latte!

Good choice of veggie, vegan and meat snacks and lunches. Very friendly and helpful staff, pleasant atmosphere.

Definitely worth a detour from the centre of the city, we had coffees and shared a brownie there this afternoon. We got a friendly welcome from the owner when we arrived at this lovely cafe, recommended by a friend. There are plenty of nice bits and pieces, cards and wall art (art and vintage items!) to look at and possibly buy too whilst waiting for your food and drinks. The brownie was definitely one of the best we've tasted. They do lunches and brunches too - we didn't pay too much attention to what was on offer, but the soup listed on the board (celeraic and pear) sounded very interesting!

I returned after being taken here by a friend for another delicious lunch. Both times I had the special and they were freshly made, hot, and very tasty. Great service and the food is made with love. Thank you both. There is also interesting things to browse for perfect gifts. I'd definitely return here next time I come to Edinburgh.

Good service, good food, good value in a good setting. Well worth a visit, from a coffee to your lunch. We will be back when we are in the area.

We went for branch with my family and we had eggs, soup and sandwiches with coffee! Everything was tasty and fresh ! It is a shop also with vintage objects and porcelain.

Sweet little cafe serving fresh food with lots of veggie and vegan options. Friendly staff as well.

Nice coffee good food friendly staff in a nice atmosphere few tables outside when weather is OK

Virkelig lækker café med god betjening, god mad, kaffe og kage. Value for Money 👍

We visited as a family during a weekend stay in Edinburgh. My son and his girlfriend had researched ‘a good spot for vegan brunch’ and decided on Art and Vintage - a great choice. Coincidentally we were staying in a nearby Airbnb. The place itself is clean, light and airy with a local neighbourhood cafe vibe, being off the well worn tourist trail. The polite, friendly and efficient staff make you feel relaxed and welcome from the off, and the menu provides plenty of lunch/brunch/snack options to cater for all tastes. The coffee was good and I can personally recommend the vegetarian breakfast. We also bought cakes to go for the train journey home and the carrot cake was absolutely delicious. There are vintage items, cards, and art work for sale too - hence the name! I would definitely recommend this spot, a ten minute walk from the Calton Hill area, but a world away from the noise and bustle of the city centre.

Muy lindo lugar, bien iluminado, espacio adecuado entre mesas, muy lindo decorado. Tiene varios cuadros. El café muy rico, definitivamente volvería por el café. Pedimos unos pancakes, no estaban tan esponjosos como me gustan, pero muy adecuados, con plátano, maple syrup y coconut. Además pedimos un croissant 🥐 muy bueno también. Volvería por el café.

This is a lovely little cafe with great coffee, food, and wonderful art! It got a little busy while I was there but was still peaceful. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Lovely little cafe with delicious brunch offerings, which are slightly different from the usual fare. I went for the open sausage sandwich with cream cheese, slaw and crispy onions. Looked like the healthiest sausage sandwich I have ever had and it certainly hit the spot. If in the Abbey Hill vicinity give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. Also v. Good value for money. Enjoy.

Lovely little place! Great food & they sell lots of lovely art!

Tasty food and excellent service as always. The pancakes with bacon and maple syrup was a perfect size and washed down with a pot of tea. Always have great music on as an added bonus.

Great coffee and lovely Sunday brunch. We had the spicy beans on toast! The environment is very chilled - would recommend!

Great food and even better service! 💯 I came back here with family after being impressed on my visit with a group of biker friends. We all had the full breakfast which was very tasty - the beans in particular were very nice 👌. The bacon was just slightly over-done, but still tasty. We like the hot drinks as well - cappuccino, mocha and hot chocolate were all tasty! I'd highlyrecommend to anyone looking for a excellent breakfast at a reasonable price in Edinburgh.

Very nice cafe for tasty coffee and great selection of cakes. Good selection of cooked dishes too.

Very cozy cafe and shop. Wonderful service, delicious coffee and the soup of the day was very tasty, well presented and comforting! Thank you!

Very nice place, excellent food, right prices

Great saturday breakfast, a real asset to the local area

Lovely place to visit for a coffee and cake. Lunchtime is good too - soups and light bites. I also loved the little shop area within the cafe. Great choice of stationery and other bits and pieces.

Lovely cafe with nice coffee and great food. Owners very friendly along with the staff. Good quality local artwork on show to buy as well.

Updating to three stars based on response from business. Still believe it's unreasonable to prevent customers using a laptop if they choose to while having a coffee. Original review: My girlfriend visited today and after ordering a large coffee and sitting down was told she couldn't even look at her laptop while she had her drink. She explained she wasn't planning to stay for a long time but wanted to work while she had a coffee, but was still refused. Then another customer arrived and started to use a tablet without any complaints. Seems unreasonable and very poor service.

Interesting place, with some art objects to sell. But the meals could be bigger and better for the price.

Great find worth a visit as food is good

This was a good call for brunch. I came for the Pancakes and my friends enjoyed their full English. There are decaff options available for coffee and tea lovers... which seems to be very popular because they were out when we visited. But my friend enjoyed her hot chocolate nonetheless. Atmosphere is chill-axed. It was a great way to start our Saturday touring after Friday night drinking.

Popped in today for our first visit cheese toastie and fruit scone ! Lovely food we will definitely be back!

Fantastic breakfasts and lots of curios to peruse.

Nice coffee, friendly staff, the gf food that I ordered was tasty and didn't make me sick so I'll go back there.

Been coming for years and always find a great lunch and friendly staff. Interesting freshly prepared tasty dishes and coffees. Earl grey tea in a pot is a delight and the cakes- wonderful.

Great coffee, great food and friendly staff

Lovely little cafe and gift shop. Good selection of fresh cakes and delicious coffee. Definitely a place I am looking forward to going back to and I’ve heard that the breakfast are great. Well worth a visit. Tables are well spaced out inside and follow COVID guidelines.

Lovely place, friendly staff and great food and coffee. Stumbled upon this little gem while searching for a place to grab lunch. It has a very cozy feel to it, and I can't wait to visit it again.

Good wholesome food. Great coffee.

Great food, friendly staff, excellent gift ideas.

Always a friendly welcome here. Breakfast options great and coffee delicious. Added advantage of a good selection of cards from local artists and wonderful vintage funds.

Great wee cafe, lovely staff and great specials that change often but always interesting. Best big breakfast this side of town for me!

Lovely well spaced out,food was lovely, staff very friendly and helpful

Amazing daily special - always a surprise and always surprisingly good.

Art and Vintage is a favourite and regular place for us to visit. So happy to see on our recent visit, apart from Covid rules being adhered to, things are mostly the same. Food was so delicious, freshly made, including coffee and chocolate pistachio extra 😁 New art work always adds that extra touch of interest. My lunch companion discovered a vintage original book of drawings and is over the moon with the purchase. The Staff helpful as always. Highly recommend Art and Vintage 👍😊

This cafe is a lovely place with some interesting vintage bits and pieces which are always good for a browse. The menu is good, if limited and the staff are friendly.

Art and Vintage is a fantastic cafe/restaurant/gallery. Food is very high quality and they have a weekly set menu to cook at home which is a really nice treat on a Friday.

Good coffee, staff are nice enough and the secure is cute. Overpriced brownies.

Relaxed space with nice art on offer. Quality large coffee unlike many places now that the idea of large seems to be around 100ml!! Great big breakfasts too!!

Great coffee, cool vintage art, great service, nice ambience! And Royal Doulton mugs for coffee! Classy!

Delicious scones and tea. I thought it had a great atmosphere and it was a nice light space. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely neighborhood cafe with vintage vibes. Friendly service and great coffee. Really nice atmosphere.

Best big cup of coffee..super nice staff..nice lunch choices. Ambient warm comfy setting. Tempting vintage and cards.

If you want to have a good breakfast go here. The coffee is also great. The personal is very friendly and the place is very nice to hang out!

Bel endroit pour prendre un café 👍🏻

The stack of pancakes were really dense and eggy! Probably the first time ever that I couldn't even try to force myself to try and eat more than one bite. Other than that it was good service and a nice cute place to just hang out in.

En el lado este de la ciudad hay una pequeña cafetería en la esquina con muchas ventanas para darle un efecto de luz limpia con una decoración atractiva. Si bien tenía un menú de desayuno y almuerzo, solo fui a tomar un café y un pastel a última hora de la mañana. El café con leche era muy, muy bueno y la esponja de manzana y cinnimon era divina. Muchos otros árboles dulces parecían deliciosos. VOY A VOLVER

Really cosy and friendly. Staff very pleasant. They have a selection of art works and crafts avaliable to purchase made by local artists.Food good.

Segunda visita para el desayuno durante las vacaciones en Edimburgo. . Teníamos una pila de panqueques con tocino y morcilla sobre pan de granero. . té y café. . Un entorno agradable y limpio con un personal muy educado. . . Nuestros amigos de Edimburgo visitan regularmente. . volveremos. . .

Nice tea and amazing gluten free brownies ;)

Excellent, simple, freshly made, reasonably priced food. Soups and sandwiches are a great and filling combo for any leisurely afternoon in this beautiful artsy space :)

Das Lokal ist absolut weiterzuempfehlen. Wir haben dort gefrühstückt und es war sehr gut. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

Lovelly breakfast in interesting environment

Wir haben bei unserem Aufenthalt in Edinburgh mehrmals im Art And Vintage Café gefrühstückt. Bei sehr schöner Atomsphäre kann man dort lange sitzen, leckeren Tee trinken und gutes Frühstück essen. Schön sind auch die Kleinigkeiten, die man dort kaufen kann. Schönes Geschirr, Deko und Karten. Toll eingerichtet ist es auch und wirklich nur zu empfehlen!

29th, August 2019 A return visit with a warm wonderful sunny welcome. Last time here all trains in Scotland was cancelled, it was wet, cold and l felt drained, but being here gave me a bit of comfort and shelter. A well needed cooked breakfast after a serious night out in Edinburgh, due to catch train, loved my second visit, the owners are so welcoming and friendly, definitely would recommend the breakfast. Ps.. Has ♿ disabled access and toilet. ________________________________ What a savour, managed to get out of the rain, what a fabulous little creative gem. I loved the decor, the art and the much needed welcome. A treat of Earl Grey tea and flap jack, helped to thaw out my wet cold bones. I would have like to have spent more time browsing through the art, some fantastic things on display. What a relaxing environment. (next time when l am in Edinburgh, definitely on my list.)

Art and Vintage es una necesidad. La comida es una tienda de té al más alto nivel de exquisitez. Tocino crujiente en un delicioso y sustancioso panecillo, y quizás los mejores bollos de Edimburgo (y hay muchas tiendas de bollos en la ciudad). Sin problemas para trasladar a los clientes desde los cómodos asientos, y un montón de nick nacks y tarjetas interesantes si ha olvidado el cumpleaños de alguien. Intente cruzar la calle hasta la Librería Citadel, dirigida por Alan Spence, uno de los escritores más líricos de Escocia. Muchos lugareños en esta tienda de té / café.

Petit déjeuner excellent avec de bons produits, raffiné et bien servi. Accueil sympathique. Une très bonne adresse!

Chilled airy caffé/ coffee shop, displays art work and crafts quite quirky. Excellent service from pleasant staff varied menu and nice cakes/ scones etc

Great art and great food are a winning combo at Art and Vintage Cafe. My husband and I had a lovely lunch, and we bought a very interesting word splash print of the city of Edinburgh.

Not for me personally food not my style but friendly and clean

A unique place with some interesting art and pieces to peruse and purchase but above all a range of tasty beverages and food: including good coffee and outstanding scones.

Cute little café, lovely cakes.

Friendly staff. Do a nice soup and good sandwiches.
