Cafe Truva in Edinburgh, City of

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.

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!!

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 😊

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.

Great place to eat :) Family owned restaurant with great service and awesome food: Scotish, Turkish 🧿❤ & Mediterranean. At the end of your meal don't forget to drink traditionaly served Turkish coffee with Turkish delight!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Everyone was very friendly. It's a complete family environment. Breakfasts are very tasty.

Good food Good service Little space, very compact Food is little expensive But good for quick bite

We stopped in for breakfast and the food was so fresh and delicious! The owner was also one of the most hospitable people we encountered on our trip. Highly recommend Cafe Truva!

Great coffee, roasted on premises. Lovely fruit scone. Very friendly and welcoming service. Good view out on the Water of Leith. The Turkish menu looks and smells great and they do offer Gluten Free options on request.

Very nice and authentic place with tasty food and friendly people. Thank you Truva!

Great place, very friendly people🙂

Good food, quite friendly, most expensive cup of green tea in Edinburgh at £4.50. Menus above are out of date

They were very friendly and warm. The food is delicious, baklava is great.

We ordered Turkish Brunch bagel and Truva Royale. The food was great and the staff were so kind that we felt like ourselves at home. If you are into Turkish cuisine, you should try Cafe Truva.

BEST CAFE EVER! The Bayraktar family went above and beyond. The food, the service and the drinks were wonderful. Definitely a must visit in Edinburgh. Made the journey from Newcastle to Edinburgh all that more worth while. Stay amazing :))

What a great little café in a beautiful spot. The staff were amazing, the food was amazing and delicious. 100% recommend

This is such a gorgeous family run cafe in the best location! Received a really warm welcome and top tier service from the staff. I ordered the Truva Royale, it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great experience!!!

Two days ago, my wife and I had breakfast here. Unfortunately, we did not like the breakfast and we were disturbed by the fact that the employee did not greet us with a smile. He gave us two small breads for breakfast for two people and when I asked for more, he immediately added it to the account. We go to have breakfast every week in London. This morning, their menu is richer and the prices are more affordable. We went to another place that serves Turkish breakfast. We really liked their welcome and friendliness. Please be more friendly to people. At least saying "hello, where are you from, where did you come from?" can make people happy, bye bye.

Don’t go here waste of the time and your money rude owner

Popped in for a coffee this morning. Just excellent. Beautiful coffee, beautiful coffee machine, and they toast their own beans every week. I'll be back tomorrow morning.

A favourite place for brunch or lunch after a walk down the Water of Leith.

Lovely for a bit of lunch. The Turk Toastie was immense.

Called in by chance, looking for lunch before heading home. Had a lovely Turkish toastie and brought a scone home. Massively regret only buying one scone, it was delicious!

What a fantastic place, been there twice already. Nice place to meet up with friends, warm and cosy atmosphere .Well looked after from walking in the door till you leave. Lovely and friendly owner and the staff are very tentative and caring. Lovely breakfast, plus they have gluten free option which is important for me. Coffee is very good as well. Definitely will go back again, I recommend this place. (Usually I don’t write reviews but wanted to express my gratitude) Elmira!!!

Busy cafe, very popular. Fantastic food friendly staff.

Great place for a Scottish fried breakfast. Very friendly family cafe. All food freshly prepared. And the coffee is great.

Popped in for a hot drink and a cake, lovely Turkish treats. The staff were great, nice and clean and bright. Well positioned to sit and watch the world go by.

The best cup of coffee in the world and breakfast ? Wonderful

Nehrin kenarında, huzurlu ve şirin bir kafe. Sahipleri çok tatlı insanlar. Sucuklu ve yumurtalı simitleri çok güzel. Kahvesi bir tık daha güzel olabilir.

I had a latte and a huge piece of fruit cake. The cake was so good I bought a couple of pieces to take away. The service was nice and friendly.

Very nice cafe. Nice coffee and friendly service.

Great spot, nice staff and food is a little bit different from what is available elsewhere. Meze plate/ breakfast is great.

Quintessentially Turkish: this charming establishment is doing everything right. The service is outstanding, food sublime and decour charming. The entire staff are passionate and friendly, however, Kerem is the best hospitality worker on planet earth. He’s the single best maker of coffee ever, as well as an all-round legend of a human. What else is there to say? Truva is just simply the epitome of family-owned multicultural small business brilliance. Stunning Turkish flavours with a hint of local influence. And it’s all been achieved with something that’s been around for centuries: brilliant Scottish ingenuity. If you haven’t eaten here, you haven’t really been to Edinburgh.

Lovely place , delicious & fresh food and warm atmosphere 🫶🏻

Stopped in by chance at the end of a walk and had an amazing experience! Really tasty food and super friendly staff. I had the shakshuka and meze and my wife had the truva royale - all delightful and we’ll be back to try the others for sure!

Nice staff with cozy seating. Sausage was a bit off tasting and the bread was stale but otherwise avg breakfast plate.

Great place for a really good coffee, excellent food (especially the filled morning rolls) and lovely friendly owners.

One of the best haggis and bacon rolls I've had in a while! Coffee not too bad either :)

Lovely family owned place with great service ! I tried cinnamon latter and orange liquor hot chocolate ! So good, perfect for Christmas.

Didn't have food there, had a great wine

Nice place to eat Turkish breakfast

Had a lovely lunch. Food was great and the staff very friendly and helpful.

This place rules, the meze was fantastic

Carrot cake and coffee delicious 😋

Very nice staff, always very friendly. Coffee is excellent,the best in Edinburgh, they roast their own beans.

The most delicious turkish breakfast at edinburgh!!

I had breakfast here today and I have never left a review before but feel like I have to for this place! The atmosphere is so lovely and open, and the staff are so attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The food was also the best brunch I have had in edinburgh by a far shout, for a very reasonable price. I was pleased to see vegan options too, and the takeaway menu looked great. It makes me so happy to find places like these that have been created with so much love! Will definitely be returning.

We had the best experience with the owner of Truva and food. The owner was so sweet and caring. We have only good things to say about Truva. We will definitely come back if we are coming back to Edinburgh.

A really nice wee stop-off during a walk around the Water o' Leith. Food was excellent, and the waiter was very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend a visit. 👍

Very fresh, solid portions and what's the most important very tasty! Great value for money. Will be back

Really liked the atmosphere and the recommendations. Avocado toast was really awesome!

Was great, thanks, will be back again for sure

Best breakfast in town! Turkish breakfast is the perfect combination for a healthy and nutritious breakfast. The lentils soup 🍲 is delicious too!! The coffee is great too and spectacular kind service!

Superb service and fabulous food.

Der aller, aller beste Kaffee und sehr gutes Frühstück mit dem schönsten Blick auf the Shore!!!! Vielen lieben Dank dafür ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great and fairly priced restaurant in a beautiful area. I highly recommend it.

Very satisfying food. Filling and fresh. Lots of good vegetarian options, and my friend said the sausage was excellent. Perfect tea. Yummy sweets. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Had a lovely lunch, great helpfull staff and a wide variety of choices on the menu. The service was smooth and the food was great on a nice location near the harbour.

Excellent cafe right on the water. Good food, coffee, and Wi-Fi was great for getting work done. Great spot!

Nice people only one thing I had lental soup worse soup I ever had very watery definitely wasn't a good pot of scotch lental soup so I'll be giving that a miss next time otherwise the hamburger was good along with the chips and coffee was very good also but I'll have to teach them to make a good pot of Scottish soup sorry
