Betty and George in Edinburgh, City of

Love the vibe and feel of Betty and George. Charmingly laid back, welcoming for people and dogs too. A local and friendly place with healthy salads and lots more sugary treats and things that are scrumptious. Lovely selection of soups and sandwiches. I'd love to have a weekly "special" take-away sandwich so there's a wee change now and again for that take-away experience!

Stumbled across this little cafe on a walk across Edinburgh on Friday. Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. We both had a croissant with bacon, avocado and chilli jam. My iced mocha was amazing!! Really nice atmosphere, cute decor and the staff were lovely!! Definitely worth a visit!!

This place was a nice find walking back to Edinburgh from Dean Village! The food was lovely and I would highly recommend it for a pitstop! Staff were super friendly too and the cake was delicious. Also they welcome dogs 🥰

I have been here a few times since it opened a couple of years ago and have never had a bad experience. Staff are always exceptionally friendly and the food is brilliant. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Edinburgh and her home baking is sublime. The pear and salted caramel blonde is worth visiting for alone!

Voor ons bezoek aan de botanische tuin van Edinburgh hier een pot thee en een scone met boter en jam genomen. Scone was fors van omvang en heerlijk, aanrader.

Lovely, friendly café with a great atmosphere. There’s a wide selection of savoury and sweet options; my smashed avocado on sourdough was delicious and a perfect hangover cure! I will go back.

Went yesterday with my 6 month old grandaughter in her pram . Place not exceptionally busy but thought initially they thought not enough room for pram. However we got sorted. Good selection of scones (better than most in Edinburgh ) ,good coffee and increasingly friendly service . Would return. Much better than Botanic Garden options.

The perfect breakfast spot in Edinburgh! The atmosphere is cozy with mixed seating- cushioned benches, wooden chairs, round and rectangular tables. Large windows sound making for a bright a cheerful space. Breakfast for four included: croissant with bacon and fried eggs, potato scone (potato flatbread), pancakes and bacon w/maple syrup, date & walnut scone with butter and cream, chocolate-caramel brownie tray bake, and sourdough smashed avocado toast with salmon. Baked goods were fresh — so many choices. Absolutely scrumptious all around!! Drinks ranged from hot chocolate to coffee. Service was helpful and welcoming. What a delight for a Sunday breakfast! Will return regularly!

Great service, lovely brunch food and staff were very accommodating & friendly! Tea was great too!

Very visibly Unfriendly manageress. Don't recommend. Far better cafes nearby, friendly, better food, drinks and atmosphere

The food was tasty & the cafe is a nice wee cozy spot! The staff however didn’t crack a smile the whole time we were there. One staff member was particularly miserable & didn’t seem interested in interacting with either customers or staff, everyone seemed to be bothering her as she snapped & was very abrupt. We didn’t get any greetings or goodbyes & were nervous to ask her for anything. Her mood seemed to be affecting everyone making other staff pretty miserable too. Maybe just having an off day - besides the staff it was nice!

A wonderful welcome and delicious brunches. The full cooked was so tasty as was the generous pancake stack. Staff were excellent in lovely relaxed surroundings

Our first meal out on an epic 2-week stay, our first time to Scotland. Welcoming, friendly, funny server, delicious introduction to traditional Scottish fare, entirely unhurried. We made a point to look for more out-of-the way places for authentic experiences; Betty & George was a perfect spot for a start, enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks so much!

From the moment we walked in we realised that this is a gem in Edinburgh Sunday breakfasts. There were a lot of regulars enjoying restful breakfasts when we visited. Our party of four was only kept waiting very briefly while a table was prepared and we proceeded to order. Betty took our order and was clearly keeping multiple plates spinning with great humour and efficiency. She mentioned a longer than usual delay due to the number of orders at that time. I have to say we didn’t notice any delay whatsoever. Coffee was truly at a high standard- cream was good on espresso and flat white creamy and intense. The food was just 10/10 superb- I had full Scottish breakfast- sausages epic, eggs poached perfectly and mushrooms beyond the norm- everything our party had was excellent. Mention of the toast- not your ordinary toast - a wonderful textured crunchy special loaf- and I don’t usually take toast! One of our must do visits next time in Edinburgh- the chat we had with Betty when leaving revealed a kindness and passion that is evidenced in the love put into the food and standard of service. Thanks so much- you really made our Sunday morning special!

Great little local cafe for coffee, breakfast or lunch. Very chilled and positively casual set up. Good takeaway options too. Coffees are not served luke warm which I prefer.

My partner and I have been here before for a lovely big breakfast, so we decided to try lunch. So glad we did. We both had a cheese toastie , I had mine with mustard o on it, partner had his with cheese.....bread sourdough...delicious! I also have the broccoli with blue cheese, once again delicious, just the right amount of seasoning, and incredibly creamy. We both had hot chocolate which was in a very big mug. I usually struggle with this but it was so nice I drank it all. Staff were very polite, welcoming and smiley. Waiting time for food was acceptable, nice and clean all round. And it is dog friendly which is a bonus in my book and I've not even got a dog :)

Excellent service , tried the soup with toasted cheese sandwich and a coffee, staff really friendly, helpful and a great location

Betty and George is absolutely amazing. My family and I love coming here. The people are wonderful, kind, patient (esp when my 12m old makes a mess or cries) and the food is soo good. I have tried scones in a number of cafes in...

Stopped for coffee and a scone. I am quite fussy about scones and can safely say the cherry scone was simply divine. I asked if they were homemade and was told that the lady comes in at 05.30 to bake them. Ten out of ten, absolutely delicious. My husband had a cheese scone, pesto and butter, again he said it wad really tasty. Our coffees were good too. Staff and surroundings very nice. What a little gem of a cafe.

What a fabulous find. Such lovely people. Such wonderful food, all made on site. Such a delicious change from mass produced product. We'll definitely become regulars.

Fresh food, excellent home baking, and friendly, helpful staff. Best cafe in Edinburgh in my opinion. Very refreshing to see somewhere focus on the simple things and go for the pretentious menu you find almost everywhere else

We had breakfast here both days during our stay in Edinburgh. The Full Betty was delicious. Sunday was pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, equally good. Great coffee, friendly welcome and superb service. Highly recommended.

After trying two other places that were either full or closing we were recommended this place. What a great find it was with amazing Thai soup and cheese toasties followed up by delicious cakes, we had friendly staff, the only think that could maybe have...

Came with my friend with our young children a while ago, staff immediately noticed and brought out a booster chair, very nice of them! Food was very tasty and the sweet treats were incredible( The carrot cake especially was amazing!) Definitely will come back when...

I'm a decaf girl and it's not easy finding a decent one but theirs is destination worthy. The staff are fun and friendly, it was mildly chaotic on our first visit but we liked that. They've only been open a short while after all. Service...

We've been to this cafe a few times now since it opened last October. It's in a nice setting beside the Water of Leith, is cosy, provides good food and the service has generally been friendly and attentive. The slew of bad reviews from its...

Popped in for some lunch - couldn't have been better. I had savoury tart and four salads, husband had soup, toastie with ham, cheese and mustard. Raspberry cheesecake between us. Window seat, nice big table. Pretty loo, nifty taps! Easy bill. Deserves to do well.

Enjoyed our visit here today, savoury scones with butter and homemade pesto were a big hit. Great big pot of tea and friendly service. Was good to see the freshly baked cakes coming out of the kitchen. Will be back

Excellent cafe in lovely surroundings. Good menu options and friendly staff. Will be making regular visits as good cafes are surprisingly hard to find

Popped in here for takeaway coffee and cake while on a dog walk. What a lovely place. Coffee was great, and the iced cinnamon bun was to die for.

Lovely cafe in Edinburgh! Friendly and kind staff. Great selection of hot drinks and sweet treats. Lovely atmosphere in a homely cafe. Would highly recommend!

We had a great breakfast for a family of 4 with two little ones. Breakfast was top notch and both kids have dairy allergies that was no problem at all (unlike a lot of places!). Nice relaxed atmosphere, plenty of room for social distancing, buggies...

This is a lovely cafe/bistro right next to the Water of Leith. It is fresh, bright and airy inside with a big chalkboard for daily menus. The food is freshly made and scrumptious, sourdough bread freshly baked every day. There are vegetarian and vegan options...

This cafe is a real find. I have visited there a few times now and have always been made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. The full breakfast is a real treat. The home-made baking, scones and cakes, is excellent. The atmosphere is relaxing...

My pal and I stumbled across this new bistro style cafe as we strolled back from Inverleith Park with the dog it's light, bright and unassuming but cosy and welcoming (even with the mutt). The view of the Water of Leith is lovely. There's a...

Betty and George has a very broad choice for a recently opened business - I am particularly happy that they also cater to vegans! I am particularly fond of the freshly baked Sourdough (all the food is freshly prepared and bread baked that morning) with...

A welcome addition to Canonmills - we had a family brunch followed by delicious home made cakes/scones. My daughter had buttermilk pancakes with blueberries; my husband the full Bettys breakfast and I had the most delicious home made sourdough bread with chili jam, avocado and...

A delightful little haven in Canonmills that offer delicious homemade food and posh cups of tea in classy teapots. Dog friendly and relaxing. Highly recommend

A beautiful bright and friendly space. Enjoyed fabulous home baked bread toasties with delicious soup. Finished off with cake and coffee to die for. Highly recommend. Cheery, friendly staff to welcome us and the pups!

We stumbled across Betty and George in Canonmills after a trip to the Botanics. What a gem!!! Lovely light, bright atmosphere. Delicious smells of home baking and good coffee! The owner was making the daily batch of specialised scones. I had blueberry, fresh and warm...

A wide- ranging choice of delicious food is on offer here, with friendly staff warmly welcoming us into the bright and airy premises. I would heartily recommend Betty and George to anyone looking for a dog friendly/ child friendly/ people friendly establishment !

Love this newly opened cafe in Canonmills, Edinburgh. Delicious, freshly made soups and salads. Can't resist popping in on a Sunday for brunch, the perfect remedy after a late Saturday evening. The cakes are divine especially with coffee. The setting is perfect, with large windows...

Love this cafe with its variety of delicious soups, salads and mouth watering cakes. Have had lunch here many times. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Dogs are allowed which is an added bonus. They have now started serving wine and bottled lager with food....

A great coffee, brunch and lunch spot in Canonmills, near the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh's New Town. For now my favourite is the crushed avocado dish, with a poached egg and tomatoes on the vine on homemade bread. Simply delicious and wakes the appetite for...

Not impressed. My first visit and my last. The staff seem singularly disinterested in their customers. A surprising lack of energy in a place that's only just opened. It doesn't take much to say "I'll be with you in a minute." but even that seems...

Waiting 20 mins and still no sign of my meal. Past caring now. This cafe looks nice but staff are inept. Kitchen in chaos and front staff new and unorganised. It’s a shame. Won’t be back
