Cairngorm Coffee Co. West End in Edinburgh, City of

Nice selection of coffee and teas. Friendly staff made sure our dog got a treat and a water bowl, while we enjoyed the delicious baked goods.

Coffee was terrible, tasted horrid worst I've ever tried.!

Nice cozy cafe with good coffee and sweat treats

Food and coffee is expensive but good quality sandwiches. Many students and there are some tables for 8 or 10 which are sharing tables. Very busy. Good location.

If I could give 10 stars to the staff, especially Maya I would. Lovely brunch and also enjoyed a second coffee with a little treat. The perfect place to chill for breakfast, lunch or just coffee ☕️. Would highly recommend!

Overpriced for cold coffee but desert was delicious 👍🏻

Nice ambiance with communal seating style. Delicious grilled cheese.

Just round the corner from my office. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The cheesecake is incredible!

A lovely space, nice atmosphere. They serve sandwiches, snacks, and some other sweet treats. Personally, the coffee was a bit robust to my liking and not as warm as I would have liked it, but the food was good.

The coffee we had was pleasant, but the service and atmosphere were nothing short of abysmal. We ordered an oat cappuccino and paid for warm cow’s milk for our baby. What followed was a shocking display of incompetence and complacency that left us deeply concerned. When the milk arrived, it appeared to be oat milk, not cow’s milk. We raised this issue with the server, who dismissively responded, “Oh, this is what the barista gave me, so it must be cow’s milk,” and simply walked away without offering to check or rectify the issue. Her indifference was astonishing. My husband had to go back twice to address the problem himself. On the second attempt, the manager—who wasn’t present earlier—finally acknowledged the mistake and replaced the milk. To be absolutely clear : this was something we paid for, not a favour they were doing for us. What’s most concerning is the casual attitude displayed by the staff toward what could have been a serious allergy risk. We are all too aware of the tragic consequences food allergies can have, including fatalities. Instead of acknowledging their mistake and handling it responsibly, the staff treated us as though we were an inconvenience for simply requesting what we had ordered and paid for. Your team simply can’t be trusted with something as simple as distinguishing between cow’s milk and oat milk, how can customers trust you with their safety? (We visited on 17th Nov)

I tried the turmeric latte during the weekend. It was the best I’ve ever tried. I wish we had a Cairngorm in my country after this!! 10/10 recommend the place!

I was immediately drawn to @cairngormcoffeeco while walking past its beautiful corner shopfront. The interior is spacious and has a cozy vibe that’s great for either catching up or spending time on your own. The view is amazing, too!

Best black/ filter coffee I had in Edinburgh. It was crowded, and no seats left, so we only ordered coffee.

Turned up to enjoy a coffee and do some work. Sat down after ordering and found out the WiFi wasn't working. Ideally they should have mentioned it or atleast refunded the coffee so I could go elsewhere to work. Coffee was below average too.

This is always my go-to coffee place in Edinburgh. The coffee is great and the staff are so nice.

We had a flat white, a cortado, and a slice of carrot cake, and everything was delicious! The coffee was perfectly brewed, and the carrot cake was incredibly tasty – moist and full of flavor. The only downside was the seating; the high chairs weren’t very comfortable. Still, the quality of the coffee and cake definitely made up for it. Will be back for sure!

Very chill cafe with a very nice ambience! Perfect for an afternoon reading session!

The best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever had. I the chilli jam they put inside the sandwich is 👌🏻 I also had the cauliflower lentil tumeric soup that I devoured.

The place was beautiful, the weather was cold, and I ordered hot chocolate, which was balanced

Cafe near Dean's village, perfect for a little snack break after a long walk Friendly staff, excellent food, fastest service I recommend

Toasted cheese sandwich was very tasty but the coffee was let down by not being hot enough. Toilets unfortunately not great either, not particularly clean and the hand dryer wasn't working. Too many people on laptops (with a long-finished coffee) taking up spaces at the expense of those buying food and drinks and trying to find a seat.

Very friendly service, very aesthetic setting but unfortunately very mid coffee. A bummer considering coffee in Edinburgh is $7 Canadian after the exchange rate.

Expensive, long wait, and luke warm coffee.

Visited many times, they used to have a place in Bonnie and Wild at St James Quarter, which was the regular location I keep visiting. Still enjoy visiting this cafe in West End, they serve excellent coffees with beans they roasted. Sandwiches and pastries are great too, highly recommend.

Really delightful coffee shop. A little pricey but worth it ✨️

These people do not accept cash. Definitely a very good reason not to go anywhere near this coffee house. Toatally disgraceful to refuse a person who only has cash and desperately needed a coffee and just to see a friendly face. Not to be here.

Just brilliant, one of -if not the best coffee in Edinburgh. Chai latte's are great too! Staff are lovely

An ideal place to take a short coffee break with a beautiful street view.

Worst cappucino I have ever had, not even sure it was a cappucino.

Amazing coffee and kind service

the coffee is delicious. the service is excellent. the atmosphere is pleasant, but not very clean.

Sorry awful bitter coffee, moisture high in the place and uncomfortable bemch shared seating

Super sweet little shop, amazing coffee.

Best cinnamon roll we’ve had in Europe. Great service. Dog friendly!

Very busy and expensive. But good coffee and excellent bacon sandwich

Cute place but I’ve seen better regarding quality and service, I wanted a salmon toast at 1pm but no salmon anymore, so I asked for an avocado toast which came simply as a slice of bread and smashed avocado, nothing on the side or no effort on presentation but a lot of olive oil on the top.. and they have juste 1 salt and pepper set for all the place apparently ? Tables not cleaned up, same for the floor and restrooms. Better places out in town

Amazing coffee with internet and good working area.

We loved this cafe/roastery. The atmosphere is lovely with lots of plants, seating and a gorgeous espresso bar. The beans they sell are incredible as well, we took two bags home with us.

Fell upon it after a long walk up from the cricket match and later realized we’d been told to go for the grilled cheese! And also were admonished by a kind co-patron next to us to get the grilled cheese. So, we were dumb. Chalk it up to overstimulation from all the loveliness of Edinburgh in too short a visit, but also it just wasn’t that good. Lots of business, and most of that coffee. Lots of folks working away… now that I think of it, we didn’t even see any grilled cheese. Whatever, it’s a coffee shop with ok pastries but apparently a gluten-free persons haven!

Very delicious coffee and chocolate & coffee loaf

Great coffee, there's a bit of choice and their brownies are excellent! You can sit inside or outside to enjoy Edinburgh life.

I bought Galeras decaf and Sierra Mazateca beans from this coffee shop. I asked the barista to grind the beans for the V60, but in the end, after brewing in the coffee bed the coffee turned to dust as if I had brewed espresso. Dissatisfied with this attitude to a simple request to grind beans for the V60.

Food was amazing, would recommend it without hesitation

I had my best brownie ever here 😋

We sat down in the café for a short coffee break. I had a chai latte that tasted great and we shared a pain au chocolat. The café is very cozy and you have a great view of the surrounding area through the large windows.

We went here on our trip to Scotland, great coffee and nice community like feel inside. Food was very good too! Would definitely return next time we are in Edinburgh

Excellent coffee! Try the flight! Cortado was great.

I took a great Colombian espresso and it was good Coffee opens the breath and Cold Brew is sweet, but too much ice wastes the taste of the coffee

Best coffee I had all Vacation! Very tasty treats as well and the hot chocolate was immaculate. Great service!!

Excellent coffee and a very nice atmosphere. Lots of space by the window for a 'breakfast with a view' experience. Breakfast options were quite nice too.

The café is spacious and has indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee is very excellent. I did not taste the sweets

We visited the place for lunch and a cup of coffee. The vegan dishes are great and the staff is very friendly. Compared to other specialty coffees, they are organized quite well with orders at the bar but food being brought to your place. The coffee we had was decent, but not really special. I would expect a more thorough selection and a greater variety in a specialty coffee shop. Also, maybe only during lunch time, it can get really loud and crowded inside.

Not great, to be honest. The homemade peach iced tea was extremely watery, and I couldn't taste the peach at all, plus it was really small for £4. The toilet is the worst part, it's look like a shambles and they really should fix the doors and the stairs. Maybe they should use this like a "staff only" area. Not happy

Cairngorm Coffee is one of my favorite spots for coffee in Edinburgh.

Pretty café, good music and nice vibe from the staff. Their coffees are good, I liked my cappuccino and my partner enjoyed his hot chocolate. The food was alright; both the avocado toast and the grilled cheese was ordered, they do like to add a lot of spice to their dishes..so I recommend reading the ingredients carefully. If you are not into the spicy touch they put, I recommend asking to not add it (not sure if it’s a possibility). Practical if you are looking for a late breakfast place !

Oat Cappuccino and Oat Chai Latte were not good. oat milk was too watery. suggest avoiding if you are vegan, lactose intolerant or avoiding dairy as the coffee was not palatable because of it

Lots of lime. To preserve the avocado they put a lot of lime in it and it is inedible.

One of the best cafes in Glasgow. It is quiet, the staff are professional and friendly, their coffee is distinctive and fresh, and they serve some sandwiches, croissants, light meals and juices.

I saw 67 hairs my Coffee And 297 hairs in my Buiscuit

Beautiful view, tasty cinnamon bun, great cold brew, really nice service, 100% recommend

Excellent coffee shop with positive environment. Ideal location and friendly staff.

Great place, good coffee, friendly and easy going staff - you could really see the customers feel at easy in this place.

Excellent service. Tasty treats. Simply the best long black I've had. I'll be along again in the morning.

We stopped in for a take away coffee because the place looked so cute with a great vibe! The barista was pretty snooty and rude, but more than that the coffee was SO disappointing. So many reviews rave about the coffee but we only had a few sips then chucked them. I had a cappuccino and my husband had an americano. Very weak and flavourless.

Coffee was awesome, space is great.

Nice place with good coffee and delicious sweet breads. Really full of people all the time.

Nice coffee. The price is fine with the portion

The atmosphere is nice, lots of seating and WiFi/Laptop friendly. Downside is that I did not have a friendly experience with staff. They opened late so there were a few of us waiting outside, once they did open they acted very annoyed and inconvenienced. I just didn’t get a “I’m happy to be here” vibe.

Great coffee shop atmosphere. Hipster but not over-the-top. I saw a lot of people working and conducting business is suits as well. Coffee was excellent and the pasties/cookies/etc were amazing. I could easily make myself sick on the brownies and scones and other sweet treats.

The coffee was good but £4.00 is the most I have ever paid for a take away coffee. They were also card only. That is really bad I think. Definitely won't go back but they were busy enough and the staff were just doing their job, not accepting cash and insisting card only.

Drinks were not as expected. They can do better. Bakeries sold out very quickly.

Excellent place to start the day. Excellent atmosphere, nice views, coffee a 10. Don't miss it if you are nearby.

Delicious breakfast from very friendly employees

Love this place. The coffee is tremendous. It is always busy so expect a little wait, but that is just evidence as to how good it is. Recommend

Fabulous Cortado and Blueberry Bakewell tart, excellent West End positioning for a bunch of my clients, so often in there for a flat white. Coffee consistently well made, always with proper attention to detail. Not the cheapest place but quality is with paying for and the food is always good too. Sandwiches are generous in their size and fillings, pastries are fresh and moist. The long high top tables mean mingling with others although with reasonable space between, I kinda like it. Another visit, another fabulous Flat White and a new favourite cake, so good bought one to go up my next Munro! Another swift visit for business meeting and another good coffee and delicious cake. Consistent quality and good service always

One of the best coffee I l ever had in Edinburgh!

Only plane in all of the uk that I had a bad experience. The coffee is not good and super small

Best carrot cake in town, and excellent salmon (excellent) or avocado toast

Excellent batch brew and pastries! Really lovely staff too. Highly recommend

One of the nicest places in town for coffee, just can't get bad food drink or service even if you tried, merch is awesome and colourful, wish I stayed closer. ♥️

We visited Edinburgh and it was fairly close. The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever tasted, clean, fresh, fruity and my partner loved her cappuccino. The cafe is beautiful and light, lots of space for sitting and enjoying time. The staff are friendly and I enjoyed an amazing cinnamon roll.

We had coffee and tea sitting outside in afternoon sun. Good people watching ..

Had a delicious granola breakfast and tea here. Lovely place.

Very nice place, stayed several hours while waiting for the plane to arrive. Free WiFi, charging socket available (provide adapter). Coffee a little expensive, but considering the service, it's worth it 👍

Ça vaut le coup du détour. Petit déjeuner ; pain grillé avec avocat et bol de yogourt, granola et fruits , sans oublié leur café parfait! Ce fut un régal et nous aurions aimé y retourner. Service impeccable!

The place looked nice, bright and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The coffee itself however tasted so sour I wasn‘t sure if there was something wrong with it. Tasted a bit as though the milk had gone off. Maybe it‘s some peoples taste but I‘ve never had anything this sour before.

It was really delicious and the food came quickly, the brownies are highly recommended. The only thing that marred the overall package was that it was a bit drafty.

Nice shop, but the coffee was really undrinkable (way too sour). When I asked, I got a new one, but was told to add sugar - in case it was still too sour for me?! I didn't have the feeling that baristas work there. The avocado toast was ok, although too expensive! So it's better to walk a little further ;)

Good cafe and very tasty carrot cake

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and a croissant or cake on the way to Dean Village. Had lunch there too and the sambos were superb.

The coffee was very good and there was a variety of pastries to choose from.

Nice cafe to grab a coffee and a wee bite to eat. Nice coffee, bright cafe, plenty of seating

I was blown away by how friendly and helpful the staff were. Coffee is also excellent!

best coffee I had in town and very friendly employees at bonnie's in the mall!

Lovely coffee, I needed a pick me up for a beltane festival and their coffee definitely has a kick 😵‍💫 I would definitely recommend it if you want a real coffee!

Shait. Place and people are lovely, worst taste or coffee I've ever had

Best iced mocha with oat milk I’ve had in the city. Wonderful staff, fast service, delicious pain au chocolat. Huge windows letting in lots of light, good place to do work.

A beautiful place with exquisite cakes.

coffee and food are excellent, though pricey. canned music is usually too loud.

Nice cafe by Dean Village. If you're in town visiting and looking to caffeinate in the area, this is a great option. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Laptop-friendly and free WiFi.
