"Cafemarmalade" in Edinburgh, City of

One of the best breakfast experiences in Edinburgh Really good and really friendly service. A down to earth restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. I had a full Scottish breakfast which was a large plate of quality sausage, egg, hash brown, tattie scone, haggis, black pudding, beans and bacon all cooked to perfection, complete with the coldest orange juice in the universe and a rich americano coffee. Just the best ... One minute walk from the "the shore" tram stop.

Was out walking the dog and I've been here often so fancied lunch. I had chilli and chips and a latte. Dog had a slice of banana cake (he loves it). Food was great as usual, fresh made and the guys who have the place are so friendly. Would recommend that if you are nearby then you should definitely try it.

We walked 2 miles to get to this place which we found deserted except for 2 employees, one of whom had a consistent cough. The place had a strong smell of old fryer oil. It was not pretty or quaint in any way. We were so put off by the atmosphere that we left without eating and found a cheerful, busy brunch place very close by.

Great place to have breakfast. Food tasty and fresh. Staff are super friendly. Never miss having breakfast here when we are in Leith.

Top class - lovely warm-hearted cafe. No airs or graces but great short-order food and justifiably a local institution!

No messing about - great food, lovely staff, no complaints ! Although visiting the area - would def be back in the future.

Went for a quick bite, baked potatoes with vegan chili. The food was great and the staff was very friendly. If you get hungry around The Shore this is a great choice!

Great service, great food, great prices ! Edinburgh can be a bit expensive so was really refreshing to see those prices for good food

Delicious food and lovely staff. The owners were so welcoming - they were absolute dream boats to my wee dog too. This is a gorgeous cafe with a great menu and the most homely atmosphere. I moved up to Edinburgh 2 years ago and wish I had found these guys earlier. I cannot wait to bring my friends and family here in future. Please pop by if you're visiting. You won't regret it

Delicious genuinely home made food. Generous portions. Great value. Good coffee too. Charming proprietor although he wouldn’t tell me the recipe for his mums delicious stovies. Overall very impressed - a place I’ll go back to when we are next in Edinburgh.

Friendly people working here, making you feel like home. Had a scottish breakfast, and it’s the best breakfast I’ve had in my entire life. The haggis was brilliant! Really recommend to have a breakfast at this place if you visit Edinburgh.

Staff is nice, always smiling and plates are really good and well served! They offer lots of solutions, also veg.

Quaint coffee shop with excellent service and delicious food. Very fair prices. Managed our group of 10 easily. We booked a table two mornings in a row.

Absolutely amazing breakfast with fabulous service. We love coming for breakfast and look forward to visiting each year

Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had. Great menu and delicious food. Fast and friendly service from the staff who were very welcoming to us and took time to explain the menu and offer suggestions to us. The food was wonderful and we look forward to returning.

Everything you would want from a breakfast, tasty, great portion size, value for money. Staff were welcoming, super friendly and accommodating. Especially to our little girl who was made to feel very special. We’ll definitely be back.

came here for breakfast with a few friends and i must say the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are so friendly. ordered the full English breakfast , fast service and nice presentation. had been cooked just right and it wasn't greasy at all like some fry ups can be.will definitely be coming back

Ist ein Supertip für ein gutes Frühstück . Gute Auswahl an Speisen , freundliche Bedienung , saubere und nette Location. Was will man mehr.

Coffee was good. Food was fine. Decor and music i liked. Staff not very friendly. Female waitress looked really unhappy. No eye contact. No conversation, ruined it greatly....made to feel unwelcome

We have visited twice now for breakfast since the new management and both times we have been satisfied by portion size and staff alike.Definitely needs to open on a Sunday though.

Popped in at the Cafe this afternoon to catch up on emails and enjoy a nice coffee.. As always I was welcomed with open arms by the staff and couldn't resist but try one of the toasted club sandwiches. Tasted great and less than a fiver, just look at that beauty. Good start too the afternoon in Leith.

My wife urgently needed to do some printing for the nearby visa office and couldn't find an internet cafe open. Aubrey at Marmalade was extremely helpful and let her use his computer and printer without any issue. Service over and above the call of duty and he wouldn't accept payment for it either. Definitely one of the good guys!! I hear that the coffee and sandwiches are great too!!

We came across this cafe on a cold dark New Year's Day; the few other places open in Leith were all closing early, so we were delighted to find somewhere so welcoming. We had a huge pot of tea (and when we asked for more hot water we were also given more tea bags without charge) and the banana and walnut loaf we tried was very good. The owner is very friendly, and plans to hold 'raclette nights' in future. The prices are extremely good for Edinburgh - a pot of tea and two slices of cake came to under £5 - there are many establishments where the bill would have been double or even treble that amount. Well worth a visit and I would certainly go back next time I am in Leith.

Just popped in for a soup and I'm blown away, tasy, home made and the sandwich ingredients look fresh and decent (none of that processed stuff). Fantastic. Excellent price too.

Went in for breakfast on New Year's Day. Such a warm welcome! We had an assortment of things from scrambled eggs to bacon sarnies with teas and coffees etc which came in at less than £15 for 4! All delicious and served with a smile. It's a 2 minute walk from Malmaison where it will cost you that per person! If you are staying there, or anywhere nearby, I highly recommend it

Visited Cafe Marmalade with a friend and am sorry I do not live closer as would make this regular venue for breakfast, lunch, coffee / tea and cakes. All home made, delicious and excellent value in lovely bistro setting with first class friendly service. Understand will be open for raclette evenings in New Year. I will be back!!

Often working in Leith and find myself looking for a place to have a coffee and catch up online. The staff at CAFE Marmalade are always friendly and welcoming, pricing is very reasonable and the home cooked menu is beautiful. My big recommendation is to try the Nessy's stovie, a family inspired recipe. Safe to say this has become my local favorite, thanks for having me! Many of there latest offerings get updated on their facebook page @CAFE Marmalade.. Enjoy !!!

Came across this little cafe in Leith by chance but what a find. Lovely owner and staff. Beautiful fruit porridge and a nice breakfast. Great value. Handy for the Route 16 bus. Recommended!

Excellent bacon roll special deal roll and any coffee or tea £3.00 next episode will try full breakfast this restaurant offers far better value than most of the other cafes round about that part of shore

Had coffee and lunch a few times in this cafe . The owner is very friendly and always greets you with a smile.He makes some of his own cakes too ! The homemade blueberry cake is delicious and well worth a try. Prices are very reasonable .If your on your own its a very welcoming place .Coffee is good too !

Nice and very friendly place. Owner Volkan is very polite and helpful. Me and my family had lunch and we were very pleased.

I lunch here most days. Great variety of food on offer and the staff are happy to accommodate any requirements you have. They are also very open to suggestions about food you would like to see available.Very friendly and welcoming.Really good value for money and I highly recommend this place.

Popped in today for a light lunch and a coffee. Quite an unassuming place. If you're looking for fancy surroundings then this isn't really for you, but if you want tasty food at a decent price then this is the place to go. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Our quiche for lunch was tasty, then the desert, home made cake like none I've ever tasted before. It was simply delicious. Will be back. Point to note though its cash only but at the prices it isn't a problem.

We had coffee and filled rolls at this delightful cafe. The bloke serving was really friendly and welcoming. What a difference this made.

I heard about how awesome the bacon roll was here so I went to get one. £3 for a coffee and bacon roll, sweet! The bacon was tasty but kinda soggy and not crispy, it seemed like it was just microwaved. So I was disappointed. But it's a friendly place and I'd recommend popping in for good value and tastiness but the bacon roll had maybe been bigger up to me too much.

I liked everything about this little cafe. A full scottish breakfast for £3.95, amazing lattes only £2, a lovely friendly guy serving us on a quiet Saturday morning at the end of March. He was serving, cooking, basically doing everything and couldn't have been nicer. Breakfast was amazing and it restored my faith that you can eat well (and cheaply) in Leith after a horrendous meal the previous evening.Well done and I wish more people would visit instead of paying extortionate prices around the corner.

If you are staying anywhere this wonderful cafe, stop in for any meal. We had a perfect dinner-got sandwiches, soup, and dessert of several different kinds, and shared them among the 4 of us-perfect! The couches were so comfortable, the day was damp, and the coffee was rich; we stayed for awhile...

My son fancied a bacon butty after going on an Edinburgh bike tour. Rusty recommended Marmalade...We had 4 big mugs of the best hot chocolate I have had. We then had bacon butties (the lads went for another one as they were soooo good). The staff and service were really friendly and helpful. We were dripping wet, but no complaints. The food was surprisingly inexpensive, especially considering the quality.Please open one in Holmes Chapel!

Having read other Trip Advisor reviews, perhaps my experience was the exception rather than the rule. However, an experience that involved being served a raw chicken ciabatta, prepared with questionable hygiene practices (the individual doing so had pretty much entered the premises, failed to wash their hands and began putting everything together with their bare hands) can only merit a poor review. To top things off the ciabiatta was dumped in a paper bag in such a way that it promptly fell apart before being handed over the counter! A shame really given the other positive feedback, but in the interests of avoiding I'll health, I don't anticipate visiting again soon.

We were on the lookout for a quick breakfast in Edinburgh and the only place open in Leith before 8am was Cafe Marmalade.Friendly and helpful with a great selection of food at reasonable prices.We had an excellent cup of filter coffee with two well filled & tasty bacon rolls for just £5 which in Edinburgh is about as good as it gets.It will be first stop on future visits, looking forward to trying their Scottish breakfast!

A fantastic breakfast with fantastic service every morning! All the staff at Cafe Marmalade are friendly and helpful. Thanks from Graham

From 7am Alina and her staff present a warm welcome to everyone coming through the door, great coffee and rolls at excellent prices, a must for the early starters

Great coffee and breakfast Alina and staff are so friendly well worth a visit always busy with taxi drivers who know where the best food and drink are in townVery good lunch menu *****

I go there most days of the work week to takeaway vegetarian soup and sometimes a falafel wrap. The food has been consistently good and the service has always been friendly. The food is cheaper than other cafes in this area. They have some tables inside and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this cafe.

I regularly stop in for their breakfast deal on my way to work. The £2.30 any roll and coffee deal is amazing! They always use quality products and the service is excellent!

I've visited marmalade several times now and have been impressed every time. I regularly pop in to this friendly cafe for a take out sandwich as they are so reasonably priced (around £2.60) and have a fantastic selection of fillings, ranging from cured meats to sundried tomatoes and red coleslaw. I have also visited for a very reasonably priced breakfast a few times and again have been impressed with the quality. One of the most reasonably priced cafes in leith but certainly not a greasy spoon!!

Love getting my lunch here to take away for the day with a bit of meringue for after! Delicious! They'll make a sandwich up exactly the way you want it and they have a couple pre made too.

I love this place. I discovered it a few months ago by chance and it's got a nice feel, and a pleasant and cheery Australian owner. They do a great breakfast roll and tea deal during the week and the tea pot is huge.

If you are looking for the best Bacon Roll & a broad smile that brightens up the rainiest of days this is the place to go & chill for 30 mins. With a great décor & speed at service I always take my customers their and get them 2 bacon rolls. Keep up the good work. Will they ever sort the roads out in Leith though? G (Trike Man)

I have found myself becoming something of a frequent visitor to Cafe Marmalade, drawn in as much by the lovely staff as the great coffees and breakfast offerings. The full Scottish breakfast (with toast) is filling without blowing you out and at £3.95 it keeps your wallet full too!Every town should have a Cafe Marmalade. Better still, everyone should visit this little wonder of Leith and help it thrive.

This little place is a gem. Regularly take advantage of the coffee and breakfast roll deal which is great value for money.

My boyfriend and I arrived early Friday morning in Leith, unable to get into our B&B yet. We pulled all our luggage into Cafe Marmalade to a warm welcome and sat down to an amazing breakfast while we figured out our next steps. The granola here is the best I've ever had anywhere. I wish I could have it every day. Everyone is amazingly friendly too. The lattes are fantastic. I wish this cafe was where I lived.
