Clean toilets, friendly staff, free water, decent prices. Food quality however is a bit mediocre.

Pretty good sweets, but that was it for me. If you go in the winter, it is nice to have something warm to dark to warm your body a little. I didn't really find the pricing was bad.

The café looks chic and has a lot of charm. Unfortunately, that's where it ends. After I went through all the tables, I chose the one that was least dirty. The tables were cleared but not wiped down. The family at the next table took a rag from the waitress and cleaned it themselves.

Be aware*its a private coffee place. Its got nothing to do with the queen.Customers think they have an overpriced coffee, meals at the Queen, which is far from the truth! It's a private company which treats its employees as slaves! Avoid at any cost! Do NOT support them🥺🙏🏼.

Shame I have to leave a 2-star review, but you have stopped being dog friendly, which is puzzling considering you're postioned next to a huge park, effectively cutting off a big chunk of your clientele. I would have loved to enjoy a coffee with my newborn and my dog while on maternity here, but now I can't. Seems to cater only to tourists now.

Checked out The Cafe at the Palace after doing the Holyroodhouse Palace for a pot of tea and a snack! It was very nice! The atmosphere is very pleasant and comfortable with glass ceilings to give you a great view of the surrounding buildings! The tea was very nice and warm on a cold fall day and the Toffee Sticky Pudding cake was very delicious and helped to charge us up for the walk up the Royal Mile!

So this is certainly not a five star place, but it is a delightful spot for a very tasty and fresh bite. Photos of the royal family in 16x20 surround the dining room. Worth a stop for a good Brit lunch.

The cafe used to be dog friendly inside which was great after a walk with the dog in Holyrood Park. They've recently changed to not allow dogs inside the cafe which is very disappointing. The cashier was also unhelpful and unfriendly.

The café is perfectly located to stop off after visiting Holyrood Palace. But that's where the advantages end. I was ignored (3 people were standing 2 meters away with the desserts and another employee was putting the sandwiches away). After 2 minutes a young employee came and served me. A soup for £6. Ok, you pay for the location. Cashier barely understands English. You can find out where to find the cutlery upon request. The soup doesn't taste good either. I had to add more seasoning. The volume in the café is also not insignificant. Not necessarily the guests, but more the noise from the kitchen. My tip: save your money and go somewhere else.

Came for afternoon tea and it was extremely disappointing. The tea is hosted next to the other cafe diners and all of the sandwiches and scones are bone dry. Desserts are barely edible and tea is watery. They only put two bags in a large pot and the tea is bagged and you only have five options.

If you’re visiting Holyroodhouse you need to pay a visit to this beautiful cafe, it will not disappoint. Prices are super reasonable for being a touristy spot this close to this awesome Palace. They have a huge selection of fresh sandwiches, mains, cakes and drinks. My girlfriend went for a classic tomato and basil soup(£6.00), while I got a simple but delicious ham and cheese baguette (£6.00). Highly recommended stop if you’re near Holyroodhouse.

Esta fue con mucho la experiencia más decepcionante durante nuestra estancia en Schotland. Debido a su excelente ubicación al final de la milla real es atractivo para muchos turistas. Sin embargo, las enormes terrazas estaban casi vacías mientras la gente se agolpaba en el mostrador, la razón de eso fue que tenían muy poco personal y el personal es increíblemente incompetente. 25’ esperando una taza de café y no es posible reembolso... un montón de buenas cafeterías bien administradas en Edimburgo, no pierda su tiempo en este.

Subimos el asiento Arthurs y queríamos un buen descanso en la cafetería en el sitio del palacio Holyrood. Terminamos en una cola de gente esperando. Había una estudiante haciendo el café, era completamente incompetente y miraba fijamente todo el tiempo a la máquina.

Another walk through Holyrood Park took us to the cafe at the Kings Gallery for some light refreshment. The cafe has had a recent refit which is good and the food is now protected behind glass, so not so many germs, thankfully. We had soup with bread and coffee with cake. Soup portion smaller than previous visits and barely warm. As the queue was so long I wasn’t going back to have the soup changed but did mention it to a member off staff who was apologetic. There also seemed to be an inconsistency in the amount of bread given out to different customers. I would be wary about having any hot food here until things improve. Great place for lunch or a coffee stop. Mushroom soup was very tasty , coffee and scones really good too. A nice atmosphere with plenty of tables inside and out. A fair price for what you get, will definitely be back soon.

Both myself and my friend were disappointed with the food, we had different wraps (falafel /asian salmon ) which looked good but were dry, and in the case of the salmon the dressing was sour. There was also a sneaky presentation trick where the wrap was cut in half with a card label covering the gap between the parts, so it looked much bigger than in was. The decaff tea was weak and fairly tasteless even after leaving to infuse. Given the quality it was overpriced but average for Edinburgh. The setting was nice and the toilets are impressive.

Puting the "rude" in Holyrood. Today I visited the palace with my mother and my partner. After seeing so much beauty and fine art indoors, we decided to stop for a coffee. Perhaps the cafe is located where they used to treat the horses, because the customer service was terrible. The food I cannot review as the only thing I tasted was lack of manners. In addition to being treated badly from the first minute, the waitress (Magda) was insisting that we ordered take-away, saying that there were no tables (I had to point out to the waitress that my partner was sitting at the table so that she would consider taking my order). I ordered some sausage and mashed potatoes that were on display. It happens that the food on display in the counter was not for customers. She said I couldn't have it because it was for employees. If it was for staff, why was it on display? As the only option on the menu that was available in abundance to customers was rudeness, I decided to look for somewhere nicer. What's the point of setting up a business inside a palace if you don't prepare your staff to treat customers with courtesy? I left without spending a single penny. I found a cosy and nice place near to the Castle, called Scotts Kitchen, where we were decently treated. They were very accommodating and kind. The food was amazing and the service outstanding.

If the weather is fine, it's worth having tea and maybe a cake in the courtyard. They serve pots of tea for a very reasonable price and the tables outside are pleasant. The cakes are good, although those with icing were too sweet for our taste. We didn't try any of the salty food. The indoor space smelled like a locker room and I definitely wouldn't have wanted to sit in there

None of us were able to hide our disappointment when we were seated at what felt like the cafeteria at a hospital / old folks' home. There is definitely nothing "palatial" about the setting, even though it's the Holyrood Palace café. The place settings felt very minimal and functional, chairs, decor etc. were all very pedestrian. But here come the good bits: - good choice of tea (though we were very surprised not to be offered refills) - savoury part of tea was fantastic, very tasty and good quality - 2 scones each plus 4 different kind of cakes was definitely too much of the sweet stuff, everyone at our table would have preferred more savoury and fewer sweet items on the étagères. - small pot of clotted cream to be shared among 4 scones is definitely insufficient but a refill was bought upon request - waitress was wonderful, very polite and helpful - the tables didn't match up (in height) and were wobbly which led to a great spill and some mishaps. Not ideal £25/per person for the afternoon tea isn't cheap in this kind of setting but the quality of the food made up for it.

Well it looked lovely and reviews were looking ok but walked in and 3 tables free but loaded with old cups, plates etc that had not been cleared!! Interestingly a notice also displayed “this table has been sanitised”!! Ha ha !! Anyways on heading to the counter it clearly was a bad day for the miserable disinterested servers who quite clearly did not want to be there, least crack a smile or a warm welcome for any customers. The tea, coffee and hot cross bun was served and albeit a cold cross bun was very nice. Some staff training desperately required to make guests feel just a little bit welcome !

È perché non fermarsi per una pausa dopo la visita al Holyrood Palace? È un'ottima idea per poter rilassarsi dopo la visita. Ci sono alcuni tavoli fuori ma una grande sala al suo interno. Il personale è stato veloce si sceglie tra dolce e salato, si ordinano le bevande, si paga e ci si siede ad un tavolo. Ho letto che si possono fare prenotazioni per afternoon tea. Il cappuccino con la corona che meraviglia, il chai tea una bontà. È prima di uscire una sosta anche allo shopping. Si trovano dei addobbi reali natalizi meravigliosi a prezzi reali.

Afternoon tea : There's way better places for that price and for the amount of food you get. Normally you end up taking food home and this time we were left hungry. We had booked for a champagne afternoon tea and the didn't have champagne plus the cocktails that we ordered were prepared different to what was said in the menu. The place is not as nice as other places like the Dome which is the same price. The only plus was that our waitress was lovely.

Came here for lunch after visiting the palace. It's a spacious and stylish café with a lot of outside tables in the courtyard and a little garden at the back. Good variety of soup, sandwiches and light meals on the menu. It was very busy when I visited and there was a queue at the counter but I didn't have to wait long. The staff were both efficient and friendly. Opted for the risotto with fennel and toasted brie, and the lady who served me offered me a couple of potato wedges to eat with it. The meal was quite spicy but delicious, and the risotto was piping hot. The tea was really good quality too. A satisfying lunch and not too expensive.

We came across this cafe by accident after we parked on Holyrood park and decided to walk towards The Royal Mile in search of a cafe when we found the side entrance. First impressions were good with a clear ‘dog friendly’ notice. Inside was airy, very clean and spacious with ample social distancing between the tables. I bought two bottles of water, a large vegan wrap, a bowl of fresh soup with a roll and a large slab of vegan fruitcake for £17. There’s also a decent range of hot non vegan dishes and cakes etc .Although it was lunch time and the queue was quite long it moved very quickly and the staff were working hard. I asked if I could have a bowl of water for my thirsty dog and the lady at the till stopped what she was doing and brought a very large clean dish of fresh water to our table. The toilets were modern and very clean. This is a great find and will certainly be back when I’m next in Edinburgh. The staff should be very proud of what they produced and the service they provide. Thank you for a pleasant lunch experience.

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order.

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.

We had booked the brunch with santa but it had been cancelled. They actually didnt tell us it had been cancelled i had called to confirm the booking a couple days before. This is after taking full payment at the time of booking. If we hadnt called to confirm we would have arrived with some very dissappointed kids. Incredibly poor service. they just sent an email after the call for an alternative venue.

Tener un contacto con 2 si mis hermanas. Fue increíble la comida estaba muy bien presentada. El personal era genial siempre a mano si su vaso estaba vacío o necesitaba una pregunta respondida. Sin duda recomendaría. Así que vale la pena una visita si en la zona. Precio muy aceptable.
