Blackwood Coffee in Edinburgh, City of

Had a lovely breakfast, and the service was friendly and fast.

We loved our visit to Blackwood Coffee. There was such a warm welcome and quality service throughout. Our eggs and toast were delicious. Definitely a lovely spot.

I feel like Blackwood Coffee is something of an underrated wee gem. It's been here unchanged for years now, but the coffee is good and although it's small, the wood panelling is like no other coffee shop in Edinburgh. But the real reason to come is if you need a chocolate hit: the chocolate tiffin is the best, rich and dark. No-one else has tiffin this good.

Best Cinnamon Swirl I have tasted in Edinburgh reasonable priced with an iced coffee americano!

Fantastic service, although a bit busy. Outstanding latte. Nice biscuit, which I dropped and they kindly offered me a replacement. Nice touch. Nice little cafe.

Super tasty scones with clotted cream and brownies as well as a very good cappuccino

This is my favorite coffee shop in Edinburgh. The coffee is amazing.

Stumbled on this cafe and loved both the coffee and the food. One in our party said the shortbread was the best they’d ever had. Great atmosphere too.

Really good coffee here - cakes seem good too. Can get busy at peak times.

First visit on Sunday and probably the most expensive americano I have had. 2 americanos and one bit shortbread came in at £9:80 and the shortbread was soft and not great. I do drink a lot of various coffees and try lots of coffee shops and this was super weak! I was in at around 12pm and it was quite full, staff were all nice. Previous reviews say auto tip at the till before you can pay so watch out for that one even though no table service to order it’s just brought out to you after you order at the till. For paying full price coffee and non comfy seats give it a go.

Very nice place, very pleasant staff and coffee and scones excellent.

£3 for an espresso is the most expensive coffee I've ever had so far. It was nothing particularly special. I can't review anything else like the food unfortunately so cant tell you if that was any good as I didn't have enough money

Excellent place great staff, great food and quick service

Excellent service, delicious food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere. Accessible too. One of the best cafes in Edinburgh.

Popped in to get a takeaway regular latte, £4.10 I don't know if I offended the guy serving by not tipping him but I thought the coffee was expensive enough, Service was slow and poor and the latte was watery, I definitely won't be back.

Was passing by and stopped in for a very expensive, yet tiny coffee. Served in what looks like an espresso cup and at nearly £4, you could be forgiven that this flat white was made with gold. To top it off, service was with barely a smile. With a range of good coffee shops nearby, I won’t be back.

Great service. The most delicious soup I've tasted. Would have liked Cheese Scone warmed or toasted. I didn't enjoy it cold. Delicious coffee.

At £4.10 for a medium latte or cappuccino this cafe, along with its other chain of coffee shops like Press coffee etc, is the most expensive in Edinburgh. The scones are good, but I hate being ripped off on the coffee. And they have the cheek to ask for a tip on top.

Great coffee and friendly staff, nice vibe and decor. A bit of a wait for our coffee but was busy when we arrived. The scone was delicious

Nice corner location in a gorgeous high ceilinged old shop. It's always busy which must say something. Good coffee, good cakes. We had very tasty scrambled eggs on sourdough, large portions. Friendly service, sometimes somewhat chaotic.

Forcing someone in a wheelchair to goto the counter seemed a bit off. They could see the food board, so why not do table service?

This cafe has not got any plug or WiFi????????

Really boring environment with overpriced cakes long waits and unwelcoming staff. Been a few times and never been impressed but we today got a scone with ration book sized serving of cream and jam. Don’t know why I was given a napkin as my dry cream and jamless scone would leave nothing but distaste in my mouth to this overpriced coffeeshop. 4.20GBP for dry flour cake : not good enough

My favourite coffee and scone stop. Good ambience and dog friendly! A little discomfiting tipping while ordering, but I have never had poor service over several years.

I was greeted pleasantly but had to wait for my coffee and scone while the barista had a chat with the previous customer. Will never add tip before being served again. Disappointing.

Dropped in to try the coffee here on a wander around Morningside and got a Mocha, Rarely do I notice the base taste of the coffee but this place has their own brand and it's amazing! They only had beans for sale but it's prompted me to go spend a fortune on coffee kit so I can pick up some of these beans! Nice surroundings, bright, welcoming and quiet. Staff were friendly on our brief encounter while ordering and paying. Dog friendly too, but not sure we would have taken our 4 collies in :D

Delicious sandwiches, although a little pricey.

I love to sit by the window and watch the world go by. The coffee is also a great one and try a cake or two

Lovely customer service in this place selling probably the best tasting coffee in this part of town, the cakes are nice and the sandwiches great, big enough to share

Expensive, and the coffee had a strange taste. I wouldn't go back.

The breakfast and scrambled eggs and smoked salmon are pretty hefty

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and absolutely gorgeous food!

It's one of the best ways to cheer you up and helps make you feel confident, happy & very warm and welcoming:-D

What a rude lady serving me -Took my order and let me pay for it before realising they had no croissants left, then when I chose something cheaper she didn't even offer a refund !!! And - laughed at my not wanting a roll or scone instead of croissant. In case they care - I won't be back.

Went for a quick breakfast, excellent cappuccino prepared by expert barista. The pain au chocolate was a bit of a let down, the chocolate bars inside had not melted, so, it felt like chewing on a couple of Cadbury flakes.

Excellent coffee, good service. What more could you ask for from a coffee shop?

Excellent customer service lovely atmosphere great coffee & cakes

Great wee place. Fantastic scone with cream and raspberry jam. Lush

It's a good café with a nice selection of treats and breakfast. There are around 6 tables inside and the atmosphere is nice. We're giving 3 stars because the quality of the food for that price was okay. There isn't much to fault but not much to fall in love with either. Overall, a decent café with room for improvement and ambition.

The best coffee taste I think I've ever had. Lovely people too.

Great scrambled egg and bacon rolls. Quick and friendly service.

It was fine. Good flat white and decent cheese scone but I don't like these card machines that ask how much tip you want to leave. I was at a counter, paying for my purchase, at which point no service had been given. Stop it.

Excellent yummiest and so fresh

A charming place Morningside. Love the scones!!

Best coffee in the area, decent price and nice breakfast options. Staff is always welcoming.

Very good coffee. Decent cakes. Friendly people. Fine airy room.

Good coffee, good food and selection of menu items. Ideal for lunch or coffee and cake.

The best coffee I think I've ever had. Easily beats all the independent places I go to in my home town. Also, bacon and egg roll - absolutely nailed it, genuinely brought a smile to my face, that's how nice it was 😂👍. Lovely people too.

This place hasn't a clue about quality coffee! Ask for a cappuccino, and you get a latte/flat white, complete with latte art (on a cappuccino?). I've asked for a Proper Cappuccino several times, but they arrogantly assume they are right, and you are wrong. If you ARE into real coffee, avoid this place and its sister place up the road, Project Coffee. The milk in their coffees soon looks curdled and greasy too. You have been warned.

Tasty cheese scone! Lovely coffee.

Gorgeous hot chocolate, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and what looked like a lovely selection of cakes (I was behaving so I didn't try them but I was very tempted)

Lovely coffee shop. Always friendly staff and lovely fresh food. They allow well behaved dogs in too.

Opens at 8:30 on Saturday not 8:00

Great coffee and cafe food. Nice place for a stop.

Nice lovely place. Had a chat with an old friend for a couple of hours. The fusion tea with peach was amazing (sorry don't remember the exact name :).

Nice coffee but very overpriced. £2.80 for a thimble of coffee.

Lovely coffee, fast service and nice staff.

Great service and coffee. Nice stylish place

Coffee was amazing and it's really cute inside. Staff were welcoming.

Great coffee. Fruit scones to die for...

Nice local cafe. The pastrami sandwiches are particularly good!

Quite expensive coffee. Tasted good though. Seating outside was quite good.

Unpleasant staff I visited this place several times, scones are decent , coffee tastes good but they charge too much given the size of their mugs are too small. One other thing escapes me it's the appalling attitude of the Servers . They rarely smile or interact with customers it's like they are doing you a favour by letting you using their café.

Con algunos de los mejores bollos disponibles y un café suficientemente fuerte, este es un lugar encantador para pasar el rato, sentirse bien y ver pasar el mundo. El amable personal de servicio, el excelente café y una buena selección de alimentos hacen de este un lugar de moda local. . . . ir a visitar y disfrutar

Sat outside with my brother after he just moved in to his new flat. Got an Americano which was a solid 7/10, but had the most amazing brownie. 10/10.

Great eggs and bacon. Excellent value..

Efficient service, fresh orange juice, nice coffee and a good bacon roll. Sitting outside in the sun was pleasant.

Good cheese scones and well organised friendly place

Best Cappucino I've had in a long time. Service was excellent.

We love this cafe. It's our favourite coffee shop in Morning side. They serve very high-quality coffee. The flat white is just delicious. The decaf option is also a great one and as tasty. We went on Saturday for our first coffee to go since the all COVID situation. No table and seats inside obviously but well organised and helpful. We were delighted to taste some great coffee. Also ... the chocolate cake/brownie is to die for.

Friendly efficient service serving serious flat whites! Would be in daily if I lived more locally.

My regular coffee spot. Much missed but happily back for carry Out coffee. Lovely scones too!

Nice little coffee shop with lovely staff and great service

Great scones, good coffee and a real buzz about the place.

Very pleasant coffee place. Very nice place to have cup of tea and good scone. Excellent place for a short break. Staff very nice, courteous and efficient with their service.

Found Blackwood Coffee by accident and was so glad I did. They offer a lovely selection of sweet and savoury snacks and drinks. I ordered a lemonade and a pastrami, cheese and pickle sandwich. It was delicious! The best thing though was the fact that it is dog friendly so I could sit inside with my dog. Would revisit.

Excellent service. Great soup on a cold day.

Coffee too strong. Gets very busy.

Paré aquí para tomar un café mientras estaba en la zona, ¡también pedí un bollo de frutas ya que no pude resistirme!Muy grande relleno de fruta, exterior crujiente y centro suave con mantequilla y mermelada a un lado. El mejor bollo que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Es un lugar pequeño pero tiene muchos asientos. Otros pasteles y comida disponibles también. El personal era amable y la comida y las bebidas tienen un precio razonable para la zona.

Wow partner discovered this place? Great coffee, great sandwiches and yummy soups. Can be busy but a Morningside Oasis!

Han pasado muchos años (más de 30) desde que vivimos en Morningside Edimburgo. Ojalá Blackwood hubiera estado abierto entonces. Amable cafetería local. Acogedor y cálido en días húmedos y frescos. El café es bueno Los productos horneados son sabrosos. El desayuno con huevos revueltos es una excelente opción para comenzar el día.Disfrutar

Fantastic coffee, wonderful service

Strong coffee A quiet cafe nice cake and nice place to sit out of the madness of daily stress Lovely we coffee shop 👉😉

Popped in for a quick coffee and croissant rather than head to the usual from an Italian Emperor establishment. Cafe was wonderfully classic and the coffee outstanding. Staff warm and friendly, another Edinburgh gem

The coffee and the scones was beautiful.

Highly recommend. Lovely staff, food delicious.

Not room enough for a twin buggy

The coffee is really strong but I head here if I’m craving for a cheese scone because they make the best cheese scones that I’ve tasted on this side of Edinburgh.

Cosy cafe, lovely coffee and dogs are allowed!

Decent coffee, hard to get a seat.

Delicious cheese or fruit scones and the coffee is very good too and prices are reasonable. 👍

Really nice friendly coffee shop. Breakfast options are superb and their soups are also usually excellent.

First rate coffee and excellent cheese scones. Seating area limited and a bit overcrowded at times think the ergonomics if the interior require a rethink.

Great coffee and good selection of cakes - the only coffee place where I had the chance to hear my own thoughts.

Good atmosphere, good coffee, good food

Absolutely delicious hot chocolate, though it could have been a bit hotter. Nice atmosphere, good service.

Great food and drink. Just not kid friendly at all! I'd go as far as saying kid-unfriendly!

Decent coffee, but the place felt about dead to me being honest

At last, a coffee shop with a real touch of class. Beautiful, classic interior. Good selection of hot drinks, snacks, scones, cakes, meals etc. We had coffee and scones, all first class. Super clean establishment. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely coffee and amazing breakfast menu :)
