Cafe Truva in Edinburgh, City of

Great place with lovely breakfast, service and space

I had a wonderful experience at Truva Cafe. The food was absolutely delicious and made with fresh ingredients. I especially recommend trying Simit bagel breakfast and carrot cake-It’s definitely worth it. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I felt right at home. I highly recommend Cafe Truva to everyone!

Really nice place with great and kind service,m. They have nice views of the river and a few tables outside to enjoy a nice coffe on a sunny day. The food is tasty and very nice!

Cannot recommend this cafe enough! The Turkish bagel was to die for and the staff were so hospitable and kind!!

Very good service and quality food. Thank you to the friendly Cafe Truva family ☺️

Gem of a cafe - attentive service and delicious food. Authentic decor is welcoming and homely. Great selection for take away too.

Wonderful place - great food, good service. It's a regular haunt.

Wonderful service. Beautiful people, would recommend to anyone stopping by for a Turkish coffee or a meal !!! 🥰

Lovely breakfast and good coffee. Really enjoyed the shakshuka! My partner had the Turkish breakfast which also looked at great

Loved the place and food over here, will visit again

Delicious Turkish coffee and Turkish delight. Friendly staff.

Great breakfast spot, good coffee delicious food. Very welcoming and friendly service. Mel was our server and we had a great attention and chat.

This is a wonderful place to get breakfast in Edinburgh. We came as a family and Mel served us with so much kindness. Food was absolutely delicious, coffee amazing. Come and visit Truva Cafe as a local or as a tourist. We highly recommend it. We very much enjoyed our visit and time here at Truva Cafe!!🫶🏻❤️

We had a delicious breakfast. There's a great choice for vegetarians. Reasonable prices.

The breakfast is the best Turkish breakfast you can have in Edinburgh. It is really delicious and the owners are such warm-hearted and smiling people. You should definitely try the bagel and toast.

I enjoyed myself. THANKS. The scone was huge, I regretfully couldn't finish it because it was so good 😊 And the coffee was excellent, I've rarely had it this good. The person who took care of me was very kind. On the other hand, the one who got rid of me was a little cold, but perhaps it was in her thoughts. The place is cute and well located.

We had Turkish breakfast here. It was very good and generous!

I was at the cafe for brunch. I ordered a latte and a Turkish bagel with salmon and salad. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo, but I really liked the presentation. Melahat served my table perfectly, she was very smiling and friendly. The atmosphere of home and comfort)) but as for me - a very busy interior, a lot of different jars, pots, shelves.

It is a really nice Turkish cafe with great food and atmosphere. You can find authentic Turkish food in here which is really tasty. The service was amazing and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone especially to people who want to try out the Turkish cuisine.

Empresa familiar muy acogedor, personal, servicio y comida excelente. Maravillosa ubicación en Leith que es muy central. Una cálida bienvenida le espera en Café Truva. Muy recomendable cuando en Edimburgo y sus alrededores.

Everything was great. The staff welcomed us very well, thank you.Highly recommended, definitely will be come again

Qué gran lugar pequeño. Un servicio tan amable , el mejor rollo de tocino que he tomado en un tiempo y un gran café . Abierto temprano y Dog friendly también.

Lovely and friendly cafe we found at our first day in Edinburgh! Not only ate delicious food but also had a friendly talk. Thanks for welcoming us. I advise you to visit this place and taste their delicious börek.

Lovely little cafe, the coffee and tea was very nice, and the food was fantastic. Very tasty, they gave us lots for our lunch, and they were kind and generous while we were there. The staff was lovely and helpful as well. I recommend!

We experienced the Turkish breakfast that we longed for. They were really very friendly. We would also like to thank Ms. Melahat. We experienced the Turkish breakfast that we missed. They were really friendly. We would also like to thank Ms. Melahat very much 🌺

Lovely little cafe in Leith serving delicious food. The coffee is pretty nice and well made. I had the aubergine shakshuka which was really excellent, lovely and rich food to start the day right. Friends had more English style breakfast food which looked to be tasty (although not veggie so didn't partake myself). Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Wonderful and authentic Turkish cafe, I would highly recommend their Simit as it's the best I've had outside of Turkey. Also a big shout out to Melahat for her incredible service.

We finished the last day of our 3-day holiday with an excellent Turkish breakfast. Thank you everyone, everything was great. We had our breakfast in a more pleasant atmosphere with the sincerity of sister Melahat.

Delicious food, perfect atmosphere! Service was wonderful, especially Melahat was very friendly and attentive.

Quiet dreich afternoon enlightened by fantastic home-roasted coffee, great service and some delicious baking. A true gem on The Shore

Lovely staff and cute vibes inside. Perfect place to grab a hot drink for a walk along the water

Great spot to spend a cold but sunny morning with some apple tea.

Visito este pequeño café regularmente en mi paseo de perros por las mañanas para un café para llevar durante el resto de mi paseo. También visito para sentarme en alguna ocasión. Todo está fresco y la hornada casera es para morirse. El personal es muy amable y recomendaría a cualquiera que pase a pasar por algo de comer y un té / café.

My favourite cafe on the shore, friendly people and comprehensive and delicious Turkish inspired menu. Always welcoming to the dog, he expects us to go everytime we walk past whether it’s open or not! My favourite is the Turkish Breakfast, cannot be beat!

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, he personally attended to us and it was truly wonderful treatment. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Lovely atmosphere, good food and even doggo made to feel welcome!

As always, the staff were great and lots of great choices on the menu. The views outside are also lovely.

Mel is an amazing person and is very lovely, knew how to make us feel at home. Been to Truva a couple of times now, it is one of the best places for a brunch in Edinburgh. Highly recommend

Amazing place! Food was amazing and Mel was so welcoming and friendly. If you're in, try the spinach pie!!!

Mel is the best! This is truly the best place to grab breakfast in Edinburgh and we are over experienced. I always get the Truva Royal. It’s so well balanced and every bite is deliciousness. Go in and enjoy it🌟🙏🏼🌟

The place is super cozy, the stuff friendly and it’s just a great place for food and coffee!

Felt like being back in Istanbul. Lovely atmosphere and great food. Excellent Turkish coffee

Authentic Turkish food. One of the best in Edinburgh. Aubergine dishes are extraordinary

Lovely wee cafe. Very tasty bagel with smoked salmon and a fried egg with a lovely fresh side salad. The lady was very helpful and friendly. There are lots of cafes to choose from in this busy area but this one is definitely in the mix.

Lovely breakfast had at Cafe Truva. I had the Turkish Bagel and Turkish coffee which was amazing. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming!

Beautiful little place with a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Staff were great, service was quick and the food and turkish coffee was tremendous. Cater for gluten free too. Loved it, will be back!

Delicious coffee and good Turkish cuisine.

Absolutely the best in Edinburgh for Turkish food. Dishes are delicious and fresh, with reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, and the atmosphere inside is lovely.

Nice cafe particularly liked the Turkish coffee with pieces of Turkish delight !

Really fresh and tasty food and amazing service by Mel who was really attentive and kind.

Greta food and coffee! Mel gave us a lovely service!

It took 30 minutes to bring food from the display case

Love the food! And it’s beautiful! Combortable place to chat, read or just watch through the window 😎🙌🏼

Wonderful cafe lovely family staff just had a super bagel and salad it was also half price today win win . Gorgeous coffee too .

Excellent vibes, excellent food, outstanding character! Highly recommend to anyone in the Leith area. The turkish delights were delicious 😋

Pleasant people. Good bacon in a roll.

¡Qué buen café descafeinado! (Mucho mejor que una tostada al lado). Personal súper amable y me hizo mi café justo como me gusta!

I love this place, It’s my favourite place to visit when I go Edinburgh. The food is amazing and their coffee is incredible, why can’t the big chains make coffee like this? The place is always relaxed and has a good atmosphere. Trying to find an excuse to get back up there as soon as possible.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Words can’t express how truly amazing this place is. Highly recommend!

Really friendly local business that cares a lot about their regulars with a great service to everyone that walks through the door. I had their lentil soup which had so much flavour and the Turkish Coffee was served in the traditional cezve which is hard to find in Edinburgh. Would definitely come back again!

Delicious breakfast and a nice alternative take on the usual offerings. Definitely recommend the Truva Royale!!

El servicio era bueno y las espinacas y la corteza feta era tan delicioso y lleno y el té de manzana era genial. Lugar acogedor y también tienen asientos fuera también con la vista del agua de Leith.

Guys you gotta try this !! It was simit (turkish bagel) with beef sucuk and egg. Also hospitally was unique. If you like turkish cousine , don’t miss this place. We’ll definitely come back 😊

¿Demasiado bueno para ser verdad? -En absoluto. Muy bien. Café turco de gestión familiar con excelentes cafés y desayuno. Hornea en las instalaciones y tiene un poco de pan y pasteles encantadores. Vistas de Leith Water y los barcos amarrados allí. ¡Cuidado cuando te sientes en el baño en los caballeros... diciendo!

Best cappuccino I’ve had anywhere! Very friendly and helpful people.

An extremely cute and warm environment. The food is very good, especially for breakfast. Best regards to Mr. Erdoğan for his sincere conversation.

Absolutely friendly service, the breakfast was delicious, can only recommend this little café.

We recently visited this cafe, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The food was quite disappointing, especially considering the high prices. For instance, we were charged £4.75 for just a bit of scrambled egg, which had a strange smell—so much so that my baby refused to eat it. Additionally, £2.75 for two pieces of bread felt way too expensive for what we received. While the waiter was just okay, there was another man—likely the boss—who made the experience even less enjoyable. He was overly talkative and came off as somewhat rude, which detracted from our visit. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place, as the quality of both the food and service was disappointing for the cost.

Gran lugar para comer : ) Restaurante de propiedad familiar con un gran servicio y comida increíble: Escocesa, turca 🧿❤ y mediterránea. ¡Al final de su comida, no olvide beber café turco servido tradicionalmente con delicia turca!

Good food and coffee. The service staff is very polite and lovely. Great views.

First day in Edinburgh, I went out for Turkish coffee in the morning and just fell in love with this place, so I brought my friends for brunch later and we ended up going 4 times in 3 days. The food, drinks, and people are all so great!

Comida muy sabrosa con excelentes opciones de desayuno y almuerzo servido todo el día. Me encantó el ambiente y las vistas. El personal era increíble y muy servicial, especialmente Erlo que estaba cuidando de nuestra mesa. Sin duda volvería de nuevo!

Very tasty food with great breakfast and lunch options served all day. Loved the ambience and the sights. The staff were amazing and very accommodating, especially Erlo who was looking after our table. Would definitely visit again !

Superb experience and wonderful service by Erdal..must visit for authentic turkish food and in general any food...loved the warmth and the kindness of the staff...you guys are amazing..thank you so much❤️🫂

A great place recommended to us by a Leith local. It’s our second visit and we’ll be back again. Turkish breakfast is our choice. House roasted coffee superb.

We were staying at Leith and some locals told us about Cafè Truva for the best coffee around. We had our coffee for takeaway and was pleasantly surprise the we only had to pay £1 for a cup as it was their 26th Anniversary! The staff were lovely and the interior decor was sooo nice, I felt like I could stay there all morning. Coffee was amazing and will definitely pick one up again tomorrow

My partner and I visited for brunch. We thought everything was excellent. The service and atmosphere was perfect for a mid-morning experience. There seemed to be a few happy regaurls there too. We had the Turkish breakfast and the Turkish Meze, both of which were really really good. We'll definitely be back again soon to try some other items on the menu.

Unauthentic food, if I was served Lidl Hummus I’d’ve been happier. Their Hummus is dreadful to say the least. Man the whole meze plate tasted like it came straight from a prison🤢. To top it off, when it came time to pay, the owner rudely asked, "Don’t you want to leave a tip since we don’t charge a service fee?" right in front of my friends. How unprofessional, tacky and cheap can you get?

Excellent food, impeccable service and always very kind.

Lovely for a breakfast brunch coffee.

Gave our dog sausage (after asking our permission)!!! Great vibes great food

It's worth coming - good coffee and breakfast, lots of options to choose from.

Best chai latte ever... amazing food

Amazing food, great customer service.

Stopped off for a quick coffee and snack while out walking. Service was great - very friendly and chatty and we had a lovely wee table outside in the sun. Coffee very nice and scone yummy - we'll definately be back sometime soon 😋

Great Turkish coffee shop with very nice food. Amazing service and extremely friendly personell.

Every time I'm here the food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Will keep coming back.

This small Turkish eatery and coffee shop offered great coffee and one of the best chicken and avocado salads I've had. The server was quite helpful, too. Isat, ate, read my book and relaxed.

We had a wonderful time in Café Truva last week. Didn't plan to eat somerhing but had bagel which was delicious. Owner and staff were very friendly. Will recommend Café Truva to anybody!

The wraps are wonderful and well-priced!

One of my favourite places to eat in and order to take away in Leith 😍

Great atmosphere. Service was good, waiter was pleasant and friendly. Food looks amazing and there is defiantly more care and attention when came to the Turkish dishes, which to be expected. Though the English breakfast was underwhelming, small portion size with only one piece of the standard ingrediencies e.g. bacon, sausages, hash browns. I usually expect two pieces for some of these. So, I recommend only ordering the Turkish dishes.

had Turkish bagel and flat white here. all is okay. toilet was clean as well. server was attentive. tbh, i was trying to have breakfast at Toast a place just a few minutes walk from here but it was bustling and had a Q i cant stand. went to Truva as at time they had some seats available. had not regret a lil bit at all. stay for a chat with my friend for a while. overall, worth visiting

lovely cafe, delicious breakfast! the bagel was amazing.

Nice Turkish touches in the interior, delicious food and friendly lady 😊 recommend 🫶🏻

Melahat is absolutely wonderful and the homemade breakfast is really lovely! Everything tastes super fresh (especially the cigar borek !!) The location is perfect just by the water at the shore. There is also free WiFi. We recommend everyone to come here for their stay in Edinburgh!

It was a very lovely cafe at riverside. We enjoyed delicious Turkish breakfast, bagel and borek. Melahat and other staff were very lovely. We’ll definitely come back again. Thank you.

There were hair in my food and they didn’t even said sorry for that. Awful cafe not recommended to anyone.rude people.

Had a delicious meal and a glass (or three) of rakı in the sun. The owner joined us for a while :-).

The Baklava was delicious. So very tasty. And I had an excellent Latte to go with it. Very pleasant place. It's right on the Shore, so has the Water of Leith at its front door.
