Burr & Co in Edinburgh, City of

A small café in downtown Edinburgh where you can sit comfortably. The coffee tasted excellent and the cake was also great. An absolute tip (if you like peppermint) is the After Eight cocoa (of which I had two cups). Very nice service, prices OK. The toilets are very clean and in the basement.

Meeting friends so decided to nip in here for a coffee and decided to give it my ultimate test of a fried egg roll. On this, hugely dissapointed, the small roll had been heated drying it out to much and for £4.50, you get 1 egg. £4.50 for a small dry roll and one egg is a ridiculous price, even in a tourist trap in the middle of Edinburgh. The coffee, whilst OK, was nothing special, somewhere betwean fruity, trendy coffee and just Nescafe. There are better places in the imediate vacinity, so not for us I'm afraid.

Great little coffee bar. Worth a visit

Highly recommend the hot chocolate (both milk and dark)!

Smartest place on George Street for coffee. A real treat and very posh toilets.

Very nice coffee, I ate cheese and pickles foccacia roll great twist on an English classic very nice

This place used to be great, but last few times have been disappointing. Poor standard coffees of recent, don't know if it's untrained staff or what. On recent visit, coffee was spilled by barista and then topped up with milk. It should have neen remade as it was weak and was not a flat white. Probably should have addressed at time but had already waited a while during a time that was not busy.

Fantastic coffee, chilled atmosphere and dilligent staff. A great place for meeting up with people

Wondeful place, love this coffee shop to get my breakfast in the morning ❤️ @TasteTravellers

Worst service i have ever had .took 30 mins for a cold croissant to travel ten feet. Coffee finished 20 minutes before, understaffed overwhelmed staff.

A much needed rest up from an extended shopping spree.

We discovered this gem of a coffee shop quite by accident as we were nearby and found it on google, and we were so glad we did! It was busy but cosy and nicely appointed. I like a strong black Americano and my wife a hot chocolate, both were delicious. The coffee was lovely and strong and full flavoured and my wife's hot chocolate was frothy and marshmallow topped. We enjoyed the most delicious piece of moist lemon early grey tea cake with it. We enjoyed this place so much we were back the next day! Highly recommended.

Lovely festive atmosphere from the outside but chaotic on the inside. Ordered a salmon croissant and pre made roll which took over 40 mins to come (the staff were nice but clearly overwhelmed but unsure what the hold up was as everything was pre made?). Definitely not one to consider for a quick bite.

Lovely building, just wanted to stop in for a coffee and a cake. We were rushed out by the staff as they were trying to clear away our table before our food was finished, understand that they had a large group come in, but didn’t expect to be rushed out.

Lovely place to sit and enjoy a barista made coffee. We enjoyed the window seat to watch the world go by. Service was a little slow and the table could of benefited from a wide down. This coffee shop is joined to the intercontinental hotel. Bathroom facilities were excellent - exceptionally clean.

Always pay a visit here to this small but amazing wee cafe beside the Intercontinental Hotel. Staff are super and the coffee / treats are always top quality.

A nice, cosy spot for a hot drink and light snack while walking along George Street. Definitely recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows.

Top class flat white. Burnt my hands on the stupid little glass. No pain no gain. Love it

It's not open today which is not what you're being told in the above google hit - & it wasn't open yesterday.......no explanation. Just saying.

Best coffee in Stirling! Cosy spot in the city centre.

very very bad coffee, even though I asked for a lower temperature, the coffee that arrived was burnt and was about 100 degrees. I would have to sit in the cafe for another 20 minutes to drink it. wasted money and waste of time.

I really don’t know what it is about this place. I occasionally stop in for a breakfast of sorts and a coffee when I got the chance but that’s me done here. Last trip I had I remember the food being cold and tasteless and that the Millionaire shortbread was I’m guessing the most expensive on the planet… £4.50 for a small slice! Last time I took the scrambled eggs and toast back but had to go as time dictated… today I went for a breakfast roll and an oatmeal cappuccino which hit £8.00+. I had a go at it but had to stop as despite seeing the offerings in what looked like a hot case the sausages were cold. The oatmilk cap was great.. but once again I took the food back where the staff did apologise and offered to make it again but alas time was beating me. I didn’t even have time to wait for a refund. Just trying to eat hot food for breakfast instead of out of a packet… Hey I noticed that the cakes had also gone up in price! I feel sorry for the staff having to push this food as it’s not their fault and the server did seem genuinely concerned. I won’t be back and I think somebody here has to take ownership a bit more. There’s also no need to reply as I fear a “ because of Covid” might land.

Excellent vegan options from coffee to cakes

Need to work on customer service. Acknowledging customers in the queue and being less scathing of customers who don’t know the ‘system’ they operate

A lovely place food is great.... And not as expensive as you would think. I always seems to get a seat. The coffee is excellent I like it strong....

Casual cafe, delicious hot chocolate.

整體用餐的環境很舒適 早餐的選擇種類也挺多的 我選擇flat white 咖啡居然是用這種玻璃杯裝有點訝異，手拿起來會燙，有握把的應該會比較好 草莓燕麥優格不錯吃 下次有來愛丁堡會再來

Fantastic coffee shop with a wonderful team that will always welcome you with a smile and some good conversation. Great coffee, lovely food and the best staff. Only criticism would be, please stop putting pickles in the salmon croissants/sandwiches. Because, why? Its just not good. Everything else, perfect. :)

A small haven of coffee on George Street. Clean tables, fast coffee. Still one of my favourite coffee haunts in Edinburgh

Wonderful drinks and pastries. Great outdoor seating

Stopped for a little lunch on Sat 10 June. The table (outside) needed clearing which a waitress did but there was spilt coffee which she didn’t come back to wipe down -I had to ask for it to be wiped. We ordered a sandwich, toastie, tea and coffee. The sandwich came and we waited for another 5 minutes for the drinks - no milk for the tea, I had to ask, they then brought a pot of hot milk! Had to ask for the toastie which they clearly had forgotten. By the time it arrived my husband had almost finished his sandwich and my tea was cold. The chicken BLT was very tasty but the toastie was tasteless - might just as well have been eating cardboard! Considering this cafe is part of the George Hotel, would have expected a much better level of service. Tried to speak to a waitress as we were leaving to mention our dissatisfaction but she could barely speak English. Will certainly not be returning.

Came in for lunch with my wife & two doggies. All were welcome and the staff were lovely. Has a nice chilled out vibe. Both of us enjoyed our freshly made sandwiches and the coffee & Edinburgh tea was also tasty. Worth a trip for a quick bite.

Decent coffee. A bit fancy for a long sit to work, though when I asked, they were ok with me staying with my laptop. Pain au chocolate was delicious.

Coffee and tea were ok, and the staff were friendly. The seating area is a little cramped but we managed. The worst thing though were the pastries that pretend to be croissants. They mostly look the part, but they certainly don't feel or tast like croissants. No flaking, too dense, chewy, sweet. Avoid.

Amazing ambient and they have some sweet spots if you are planning to do some work with your laptop. Get usually crowded around 12-13.

Friendly, professional staff. Fab coffee and lovely sandwiches.

Very good coffee, patient staff, classic decor

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Coffee was very bad, bitter. Was left wondering is it really worth to be paid. Croissant was fine

Gorgeous place with nice sandwiches and lovely coffee. The staff is also lovely and very friendly. Highly recommend!

Sitio con encanto y bien ambientado. Fuimos a desayunar y por lo que nos dijeron, ya no tienen menús para el desayuno. Lo que tienen, está en un vitrina en el mostrador (sándwiches, algo de bollería y los British roll). En general, está todo bastante bueno aunque es complicado sentarte ya que hay mucha afluencia.

Great spot for coffee lovers! The coffee is excellent, with a variety of options to choose from, and the baristas clearly know their craft. However, while the coffee is exceptional, the rest of the menu could use a bit of updating. The food options are somewhat old-fashioned and feel more like they belong in a traditional tea room than a modern coffee shop. One pro tip to keep in mind when visiting Burr & Co. is that you can order your coffee to be served in the hotel lobby, where there is usually plenty of seating available.

Almost missed this little gem of a cafe. I believe it's a part of the intercontinental. Must admit I hadn't heard of this place prior to "discovering" it on George Street. I recall they offer Caravan Coffee roasters based drinks (market blend). A nice balanced coffee and great all day drink. Lovely atmosphere to be drinking your morning coffee. Unfortunately the donut was a tad bit disappointing - dry, with a tasteless custard....maybe a bad batch, or day old... slightly unexpected. Overall however, a lovely cafe

I love it here, quaint and stylish cafe with over priced coffees and food

We were expecting to have some sort of breakfast here as the premises looked lovely on the outside and the inside is nice to . However the bacon on display was old and grey looking ,we asked if they had more, " No we have to sell what's there"...I opted for a Scottish potato cake and sausage bap . The sausage was a very cheap plastic textured sausage and a heavily deep fried dried potato cake . Don't advertise breakfast if you can not cook it ! Don't display old reheated bacon , if you think you can cook it ,its an insult to the intelligence of your customers .

Was asked if I wanted side salad with my toastie. Said yes. Toastie was two small slices of bread, minimal cheese and thinest slice of onion, but no salad. When I asked about the salad I was told there was none. "Will I be charged for it?" "No it's free." Two women ( unknown to me the sales manager)at table behind then got a toastie & salad. I queried this and was told it's new staff and next time ask for sales manager. No reduction on bill. £5.25 for two thin slices of pan bread, min cheese & onion. Disappointing.

Always interesting and beautifully presented sandwiches with a cosy and comfortable atmosphere.

Sehr freundlich, leckere Suppe und toller Kaffee:)

Had a great experience! Food and drinks were beautiful and it was a very relaxing. Bonus points for being dog friendly!

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast rolls. Often very busy if looking to sit in.

This coffee shop manager should be ashamed of themselves l have never seen organised chaos like it. Dirty tables everywhere staff falling over each other behind the counter l was waiting for a table and people were just walking in and using the toilets then grabbing the tables. Organised chaos. I eventually got a table then l could order the coffees and cakes l then had to clean the table as the staff were to busy falling over each other behind the counter. Waitress brought the coffees and cakes and the cake wasn’t the one we ordered. There charging £4.70 for a slice of cheesecake which isn’t even homemade. if your visiting Edinburgh and happen to be on George Street stay clear of this supposed coffee shop 0 out of 10 Big improvements required

Nice little coffee shop. Good selection of tees and coffee. Large selection of cakes disappointed to see there were only two gluten free options.

Lovely cafe but ignore the old menu photos. The breakfast menu is just what is at the counter. No bigger, more substantive breakfast items. Seating is open, just claim a table when you arrive

One of the best cappuccinos I’ve had in Edinburgh so far!! Very cute interior and super cozy to sit in and just relax or watch the outside world happening

Excellent quality produce and coffee but the service was excruciatingly slow!

I regularly use the Intercontinental which glides on smooth professionalism. This venue could learn a lot from Starbucks when it comes to organisation. Repeated visits over the past few years have failed to see anything other than chaos. Service COULD be on a par with The Delauney and Bellanger, however staff stand around ignoring uncleared tables and seem unfamiliar with their roles. Sitting for ten minutes shows a high number of potential customers walking out when they are confronted with the mayhem.

Lovely coffee. Very busy with a nice atmosphere. Terrific service

Great service and absolutely delicious coffee!

Lovely environment, staff and coffee!

Met up with my brother to celebrate his 60th and my mums 80th, with my sister from Australia. The chicken and bacon roll was so delicious we returned the next day to have same again. Staff are amazing. So happy, helpful and friendly.

Coffee was good but really poor customer service. The 5 deep team were busy rescuing an already incorrect table order that it took an age for my coffee to go. The staff talk to each other whilst taking your order and then completely miss what you've requested. Senior management berate staff in earshot. It's not one I'd return to.

Really good coffee, lovely relaxed atmosphere.

The coffee was amazing! And the food is very delicious too.

Busy cafe good selection of snacks very busy. Coffee was excellent as was the pastries. Worth a visit

First visit this morning. Walked in. Stood in front of 2 staff at counter who completely ignored us (as if we were invisible). Eventually with an ‘excuse me can we order’ from us we were able to order. Went to table. Waited what appeared to be an age for coffee to be brought to the table (how hard is it) during what was an quiet period in the morning. Coffee was superb. Service woeful. Lack of customer engagement, lack of customer focus, way too slow service. George Hotel, sort this out.

I visited this store recently where i overheard who i'm assuming was the manager making fun and talking down to a member of staff, she was acting very immaturely and slamming things about as she worked i believe her name was katie and my overall experience here was apalling -this is suppose to be a 5 star hotel and cafe and after the experience i had here which left me extremely uncomfortable i won't be returning

The sandwiches were great with good chewy bread and well seasoned ingridents. The beetroot vegan option worth a trial. The cake was really moist and not too sweet. Coffee was with good aroma and temperature. Tea was a bit off as just one teabag was not strong enough for the whole pot. A very self service place including seating and chairs. The counter had ran out of options and refill time took way longer than customer's queque. Very busy place indeed.

very nice coffee shop, the staff is really

Really nice place with good coffee, but the staff is not so great hence the 3 stars.

Nice cafèe with really great Tea and cake. Just a little small and only few places to sit at with more then 2 people but thats alright.

Wouldn’t recommend,sat outside today at the only table available which had still to de cleared,my wife and daughter went inside to order gave the table number said to the girl about clearing the table she said she would get someone to clear it.The waiter came out with our food placed it on the table and walked away my wife asked him could he clear the table he turned round and said I don’t have my tray and walked away, there were only two cups,saucers,and two plates,plus no cleaning the table,won’t be back.

Called in here for a drink and it is quite expensive. I don’t mind paying if the surroundings are ok but we sat outside and all round the table was littered with cigarette ends and no one came and wiped down the table. How long does it take to give the place a sweep up. Service was ok and it’s in a nice location.

We had high expectations that this apparently upmarket cafe which is linked to the highly regarded George Intercontinental Hotel, would deliver well for us. On a warm Monday afternoon, we were looking forward to a good choice of refreshing cold drinks. We placed our order for lemon and ginger drinks from the very limited menu, only to be told a few minutes later that this drink is out of stock. The immediate thought we had at that point was, how on earth is this possible on a not particularly busy Monday afternoon? Indeed, the next thought was, how long has this drink been unavailable for? With rapidly diminishing enthusiasm for being in the place, which was in need of a good tidy and cleaning of tables, we consulted the menu again. A Diet Coke for me and for my wife, a tea without milk. Surely that wasn’t asking too much. The Coke was absolutely fine but the tea, sadly was not made with boiling water and only lukewarm. This is way below the standard that we expect. The mass outlets achieve serving piping hot drinks by the millions every week, so an upmarket cafe with prices to match on Edinburgh’s George Street, should be getting this right every time. In it’s favour, the staff were friendly and apologetic for our disappointment. A final point is the depleted urn containing water and lemon pieces was in dire need of emptying and re-filling and chilling. The water was tasting peculiar when my wife sampled some of it. In conclusion, a great disappointment and we are not feeling any incentive to return anytime soon.

A very good iced oatmilk latte & a scone with butter & jam. They also have tables outside, which we enjoyed. The sandwiches are being served warm! We‘d recommend!

Nice place for a business coffee, if a little cramped

Die gefüllten Croissants waren Spitzenklasse, eine richtige Wohltat. Der Kaffe war gut. Das Personal freundlich. Ich würde diesen Ort empfehlen. Gracias.

Nice little cafe. My sandwich was delicious

love the atmosphere, lovely cafe 💕

Came in at 730am. Lovely and helpful crew. Nice place to have breakfast and coffee. There were lovely cakes on display but I did not have any.

Wonderful, friendly service. A nice morning coffee and breakfast option.

Came for a coffee with a friend, and I was simply disappointed in the quality of the coffee. My friend's flat white was extremely bitter, the milk was very foamy and didn't taste fresh. My coffee was OK, sadly it was served with a dirty spoon. Such a shame as this place used to be great.

We were lucky to get a seat. Friendly staff and amazing carrot cake. Really nice coffee shop, trued to return the following day but was too busy.

Nice place for a coffee and cake. The coffee is good. Very clean place.

Beautiful coffee, their own roast was delightful and full bodied - if you enjoy a rich coffee this is the place. I also had a bacon and sausage roll. Absolutely wonderful sausage and bacon in a freshly baked morning roll. Ideal! Will be back

Lovely staff and delicious, good quality food

Tasty coffee from Caravan Coffee Roasters and delicious home made ham hock and piccalilli sandwich.

Nice place, friendly team. The atmosphere is perfect for a coffee and working. Really nice options for food.

Lovely cafe, dog friendly — they brought our pup a bowl of water and treats over to the table. Great coffee and breakfast things too.

Taste of the coffee is burnt. Very bad taste 🤮

Nice place to go, with comfortable seating (not a huge amount, but enough), good service and decent food and coffee. I'll be back.

Lovely staff, good ambiance & comfortable. Bacon looked too crispy for me to try on a roll but that's personal taste.

Had lunch today with my dog Millie. What a smashing place, lovely food, lovely staff and beautifully clean toilets! Will certainly be back.

Lovely restaurant. Excellent soup!

Nice selection of pastries and decent coffee, the place is bit tight though and you are not comfortable to sit for a long period . I think it's most probably ideal if you want to grab a quick coffee and snack

Great coffee well worth a visit.

Awful food, stale buns, eggs like concrete. Staying in the hotel was amazing but breakfast not so good.

I’m coming back soon for this amazing place for coffee

Excellent green tea, hot chocolate and brownie. Not keen on sitting on stools - uncomfortable.

Such a lovely little coffee shop, staff were so lovely, very tight seating areas but it is only a small building! Coffee was delicious

I’ve been there just to see hows been after the whole staff been redundant last year. And I am very disappointed. The new staff doesn’t even know what kind of coffee are they selling, the coffee taste wasn’t good, it was underextracted. There is no latte art what so ever for the price. No customer service, no Hello or Goodbye. Very very disappointed… The Wellington on the corner much better than this…

Really nice place but the entire cake and sandwich counter was empty. And it’s a coffee shop! They said they had a busy day. To be part of a major hotel chain, this is really terrible.
