Casa Amiga in Edinburgh, City of

Absolutely lovely little coffee shop, waited a little while as they had forgotten about our order but was given two custard tarts by way of apology. Coffee and tarts were beautiful. Will definitely be back.

Lovely coffee and food. The only problem is the opening hours, it closes too soon and we can only go when we are annual leave :(

First timers at this place. I can't think of the correct adjectives to describe the sandwiches we had; they were delicious. The coffee was terrific, and the pastries were to die for. It won't be the last time we'll be there 👍😁

We were told by many people about this new coffee spot and we popped in to check it. We were welcomed by soft and gentle music. The place itself is bigger on the inside just like TARDIS ;) And it is cosy and relaxing. I really like the style it is decorated in. People who run the place/ work there are really great in creating unique atmosphere - restful and a little bit Southern. You can even forget for a minute about all the rain and wind outside :) We popped in just for a coffee but we left with bag filled with Portuguese (I believe:) ) treats. Of course we had coffee as well. It was gentle yet rich in flavour. They have as well big selection of pastries. The one we choose was light and fruity. Just lovely. We will definitely visit again.

Amazing gluten and dairy free cheesecake and great selection of dairy alternative coffees, owner lovely and really friendly, would definitely recommend

Dropped in for a coffee, lovely place. Friendly owner, placed our order and decided to add some of the lovely hand made pastries. Everything quickly brought to our table, the pastries were great. Nice cosy place, with friendly atmosphere. They also sell a selection of Portuguese and South African food. Nice place to visit, give it a try.

Wonderful bakery which we visited yesterday. Good selection of sweet treats as well as some savoury options. I tried the chorizo cheese and ham bread thing (sorry I can’t remember the name) which was very tasty. The bread was very soft. I also had the cod fish cake which was also nice. Crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside. It was surprisingly tasty despite having it cold. The star of the show was the Pastel de nata which was amazing! Nice pastry on the outside and lovely custard on the inside. The lady that served us was also very friendly. I would love to come back to try something else next time because they have very authentic items.

This is a lovely Portuguese cafe which we visited for the first time and the pastries looked superb. We had without doubt the best custard tarts (pastel del nata or egg tarts) we have ever had so will make a return visit to try some of the other pastries.

I found the "famous" pasteis de nata just OK. Service was neither particularly friendly nor wearing protective masks properly, nor saying anything to customers without protection. I can see that this place can be a reference point for those in search of Portugues specialities, but did not find it charming.

We popped in whilst doon Leith for a late lunch of portugese green bean soup and fresh bread, we shared a chourico pastry and my wife had the legenday Pasties de Nata cake. All were superb and after walking past Case Amiga so often I will make a habit of popping in now. Very, very good and extremely reasonable prices.

Popped in here one morning. Road being dug up nearby so had to walk down the hill. Had one of my favourite custard tarts. So amazing. Would definitely recommend

We received a warm welcome and help in deciding what to buy. The cheese and marmelade transported us straight back to Portugal....delicious We will definitely be back to shop for more

جيد جداً بما فيه الكفاية طلبنا كرواسون جبن وكيك البرتقال وقهوة الخدمة جيدة جدا الأسعار مناسبة الطاقم صديق الموقع جيد

Went for Portuguese tarts and left with alot more. The fish cake and prawn pastry tasted amazing,woukd highly recommend. only thing that made me somewhat nervous was that none of the people serving were wearing face masks or gloves.

Espaço muito acolhedor, “friendly house”. O bom sabor café português! Vasta variedade de produtos portugueses. Simpatia dos funcionários. Muito bem localizado “Leith Walk” We will return definitely!

Nice cafe with a great selection of pastries and dairy free coffee options Highly recommended! 5 stars, definitely

Really love coffee just wish they did bigger sizes as it’s so good! I also really enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant and soup all really delist and fresh! The owner is also so lovely and friendly as are the staff!

Agradável café em Edimburgo, com um espaço muito aconchegante em seu subsolo. Doces portugueses fazem parte principal do cardápio. Posso dizer que é o cantinho português em Edimburgo.

great coffee, great staff, and nice surroundings. all you need for a good experience. The choice of freshly made pastries is very varied and yummy, the baker is very good and tries different things all the time, my friends were very happy to go there and continue to visit, its a good place to relax and enjoy a good coffee and pastry.

Leith has many coffee houses but this is my favourite. You can sit outside when the weather is nice. Inside, the tables are well laid out and they have a lovely back room area. The staff are friendly The service is quick There is a wide variety of food as well as delicious cakes. Very child friendly The cheapest coffee in leith but the tastiest. Great for meeting up with friends or just stopping off for a coffee and cake. You'll love this coffee house

Been recently visiting Scotland and found Casa Amiga close to our stay. My husband is Portuguese and we were very happy to found taste of Portugal and have a little treat. The first day we went cafe looked disorganised and unfriendly, gentlemen behind the counter was a bit gruff and did not let us feel welcome at all (which is total opposite what normally you get in Portuguese cafes and cafes in general). Coffee and pastry was good though. They also have a Portuguese products to sell so we only came back to buy few things on a go the next day. To our surprise was a different team and you could feel more positive vibe in the air. Lady behind the counter was friendly, polite and helpful, wish we could have the same experience day before. Overall good selection of Portuguese food and pastries just hope for a right staff 😉

This place is one of my favorites in Edinburgh for breakfast!!. I love all the pastries there and the coffee as well. The staff is very friendly and professional.

Ein kleines schnuckeliges Lokal mit sehr netten Betreibern und einer leckeren Auwahl an Backwaren.Der Kaffee sehr lecker und die Pastel de nata schmecken wie in Portugal.

A friend and I visited this cafe on a Saturday. I didn’t know the Portuguese were experts in cafes but I now stand corrected.

great little place to have found, nice soundings and great staff , very friendly and accommodating, great choices,good vegetarian choices, vegans are well looked after too ,all in all just visited you will liked it.

We were recently shopping in the area and popped in for a light lunch. Only had a savoury item each along with a cup of very good coffee. Service was good.

I finally got around to visit Casa Amiga and I’m glad I did. Pleasant atmosphere, good coffee and especially good pastel de nata.

I went to Casa Amiga today, along with a friend, as I'd been before and had a good time and recommended it to her. Sadly, although the food was tasty, the service wasn't so good.

Si quieres tomar un café especial estas en el sitio adecuado. Y encima acompañando de un pastel de nata .... mmmm

Great food, friendly staff and nice coffee! The pastel de nata and custard cream horn were both delicious and I'll definitely be returning to try more of their cakes.

Highly recommend it! My mom, brother and I went to the cafe May this year and we loved it! We've tried pasteis de nata in Portugal before and these are just as lovely :)

I had a lovely milky coffee and coconut cake. Staff nice and friendly. I try to come here whenever I am down visiting Edinburgh as I like the traditional Portuguese cakes and the lovely coffee that they serve here.

Sitio ideal para desayunar. El café bueno y Personal muy amable.

¡Mi pareja y yo tuvimos la oportunidad de ir allí para desayunar hace un par de días y acordamos que elegimos sabiamente!

Honestly can't fault this little gem of a cafe. Good value for money with authentic Portuguese food and nice staff. I enjoyed the soup, which comes with bread, and a pastel de nata. Go try it out if you are in the area!

Portuguese food brought to your door step with Portuguese house favourites. If you get the chance do try the Pasteis de Nata

Tenía altas expectativas de venir aquí en una fría y oscura mañana Leith.

Authentic wee cafe with helpful staff. Cabinet was full of delicious treats that we tried to work our way through during our stay nearby. Great coffee too!

We’ve been to Portugal and had the same type pastry but these are far better!! We visited this place twice while in Edinburgh and this place is not close to our flat. They make these fresh every morning. Sit inside or outside (more seating downstairs) and enjoy there yummy pastries with a cappuccino.

Bustling wee cafe. Friendly staff. Great coffee. Outdoor and downstairs seating complements a fairly small upstairs and indoors seating are. Great place for an informal meeting.

Great quality, friendly staff, excellent environment. One of the best `Pastel de Nata' I've eaten (and I'm Portuguese). A must-visit in Edinburgh.

Dos melhores sítios para tomar o pequeno almoço! com uns belos pasteis de nata, bom café, bom ambiente decorado com símbolos tradicionais e também podemos comprar alguns produtos típicos que se vendem em Portugal.

Agradable para sentarse afuera del café, relajarse y comer deliciosas tartas portuguesas y café por la mañana.

Encontré este lugar por casualidad y he estado yendo atrás desde entonces. El personal es encantador, gran calidad de productos y servicio amable!

Met for coffe which told my friend was really good we had iced coffees and cake whilst her daughter had a milk shake was just perfect for an afternoon treat and prices really reasonable quite often stop off on way home for a Friday treat my friend said she definitely will be doing the same

Really great coffee, brilliant cakes and lovely staff. Couldn't ask for more from a coffee shop. Recommended

I have been coming to Casa Amiga years, great cafe, get staff and very welcoming. The coffee is one of the best in Edinburgh. A must try !

The best Pastel de Nata I have ever had and very nice long black too. I highly recommend this place as it offers an amazing menu for bakeries.

El lugar al que acudir para un buen café y tarta de natillas. También tienen otras especialidades portuguesas, tales como pastillas, Yo sólo he probado el langostino, que era preciosa.

What a lovely friendly welcoming little cafe with great service, coffee, cakes etc especially the melk tert freshly baked - we WILL be back

This Portuguese cafe has become a regular coffee place for us with the occasional delicious pastillas de nata. Patricia is the perfect host and Casa Amiga a “must go” on Leith Walk.

This is a great, friendly little cafe with a Portuguese theme. Lovely coffee and staff. Outside tables are perfect for a sunny afternoon.

The best service and coffee in all of Leith. Love them so much. Please give them a chance, you won't be let down.

Coffee was a bit bitter, tea was ok. Had the famous pastry and found it ok. Found another much better place in Edinburgh.

This place is lovely. There are a fair number of savoury options, multitudes of delicious cakes and great coffees - all served with a smile from the superb staff.

Did not disappoint! Lovely for Portuguese tart! 😋 pastry very flaky and egg custard not too sweet Coconut tart was big! Husband said he would go back!

Me encontré con este café sin saber qué esperar. . . . suerte. . . Me sentí como en una máquina de viajar a mi verano portugués vacaciones.

Servicio con una sonrisa enorme. Auténticos pasteles, tartas dulces, portugués y deliciosos la sopa.

I was quite surprised to find a cafe like this in Edinburgh, serving proper Portuguese coffees, as well as the Italian-style ones. Authentic range of Portuguese snacks too.

Best Pastel De Nata we have had since we were in Madeira! Beautiful coffee too! Very cosy little place

Petit café très sympathique sans prétention. Un grand choix de pâtisserie portugaises toute aussi gourmandes les unes que les autres. Les propriétaires sont souriant et gentils. On peut également trouver des produits du Portugal en vente. Un café très bon dans sa simplicité.

As always, Casa Amiga is amazing, gorgeous food and coffee, lovely service <3 I'm a regular visitor and will continue to be until I leave Scotland.

A wee taste of Portugal in Scotland. Amazing service and lovely space, definitely recommend visiting.

Whether for a traditional snack, cake or just a coffee, this is cafe is one of the best to go to in Edinburgh. Try the traditional Portuguese coffee!

I love this place. Its so nice in the summer to sit outside and have a coffee. And I think its the best coffee in Edinburgh

If you’re around and don’t know where to have breakfast or a cup of coffee/tea just head down to this place!!

Come here regularly for coffee and its always good. Coffee excellent, pastel di nata as good as in Lisbon, albeit twice the price

Se vuoi un buon espresso in un ambiente accogliente e un buon servizio accompagnato da un sorriso è il posto giusto. Ah, cappuccino perfetto!

Fantastic coffee, pastries, and staff are delightful and polite. It's a joy to visit. Thank you to all the staff.

I have visited the bakery on many occasions and it is always fantastic. The coffee is great and cakes even better.

Había oído hablar de este Café Portugués y finalmente llegamos a visitar ayer.

I has missing a good express, and a different type of pastries, and has just a wonderful experience on the taste. the staff is very friendly and they sell Portuguese products, so we can have a delicious tea in our house

This is the second time that I have visited and the second visit was every bit as good as the first.

He estado en la casa amiga de Leith y me gustó mucho. Probamos uno en North Bridge dos veces y siempre está cerrada. Tiene un aviso en la puerta diciendo que es temporal, pero ha sido un tiempo ahora! Lo que está pasando?

Português. Tem pastéis de nata, caldo verde e outras iguarias portuguesas. Também ha um na arcade na old town.

I drink a lot of coffee at various places but when I'm in the area it has to be at Casa Amiga. Always first class service and quite frankly the finest coffee I've ever had.

Este sitio que ha sido uno de los mejores por los críticos, está empezando a rozar su momento más bajo. La calidad ha bajado bastante y los precios han subido mucho más. La dueña ya de por sí era muy rancia y avariciosa ahora se ha vuelto una tacaña de cuidado! Me quiso vender un bollo que estaba duro y le dije que estaba duro, me conoce de hace mucho tiempo y pensaba que había confianza y me dijo que no estaba duro que era fresco y le dije que no, cuando vio que era cierto me dijo con muy mal gesto que no lo pagara pero ya lo había pagado y que si me devolvía el dinero, lo hizo, pero después me invitó a salir de su establecimiento. No creo que vuelva pero a ella le dará igual porque seguirá engañando a un montón de turistas y locales que vivan por allí. DECEPCIÓN TOTAL

It is by far the best cafe we visited in Scotland, freshly baked pasties, all their things we tried during our 2 visits were sooo nice ! Well done Amiga, made me wanting to go to Portugal.

He visitado Edimburgo en varias ocasiones y siempre hemos desayunado o merendado en este establecimiento. Los cafés son buenos y los dulces magníficos. El idioma se me da fatal y siempre intento tomarme la típica tostada que tomamos para desayunar es España. En esta ocasión me fue todo mucho más fácil, ya que había una paisana de Huelva, me resulto todo mucho más fácil, agradecerte tu amabilidad. El resto de persona también muy amable.

What a gem is Edinburgh's Casa Amiga!! Wandering along Leith Walk we popped in here for a coffee. We were given a warm welcome, could choose from a lovely selection of pastries, but most important was the excellent coffee we were served! Thank you.

I've never really had a neighbourhood coffee house before and, growing up in rural 1960s/70s Scotland, wouldn't have dreamt of having such a high quality Portuguese cafe in the 'hood. The welcome is always warm and the pastries on offer, both sweet and savoury, are top class. Be sure to try the Pastel de Nata. The place also doubles as a shop.

Excellent coffee/ tea options, food is really good, and staff are extremely friendly. Its quite a small place inside, but they do have a few tables outside. As most coffee shops are, they cater for people wishing to eat out. Highly recommended.

There are a lot of coffee shops in Leith Walk so I'm really pleased that we found Casa Amiga almost by accident. The atmosphere is good and the staff are really friendly. If you like black coffee with a really good flavour, not just a 'bitter hit', then try the Americano - it's so good. My wife had a latte and said that was also very good. We also had some of the snacks - there's lots to be tempted by. If you like fish, try the cod friiters (warmed up) - they are very moreish. If you prefer something sweet, try the coffee flavoured 'biscuit cake'. We liked the place so much that we went back again a couple of days later just to get another 'hit' of good coffee.

I am a serious fan of Natas and this place does it so very well. The pastry is crispy buttered layers of crunch. Would've even been better if it was served warm with some cinnamon. Next time?

Having tried their custard tarts at the Foodie Festival last year, we decided to stop off for a coffee and a custard tart whilst out shopping. We decided to try the soup of the day, which was lovely, we got a large bowl of soup with a warm crusty roll, followed by coffee and a pastry all of which was delicious. Everything was fresh, tasty and delicious and all served by friendly staff. Before we left l bought rolls and pastries to take home.Lovely cafe and a must for a visit, l will certainly be returning.

Café, no centro de Edimburgo, boa localização, espaço pequeno, mas muito agradável, com uma pequena esplanada.Vários produtos, tradicionais de Portugal, onde o Pastel de nata é "rei", o café também é bom.

Really bad service, pastries nice, coffees nice but just kept getting everything wrong and incredibly slow service.

The custard pies, savoury snacks and croissants are always fresh and delicious. If you like Portuguese snacks you should go to this place.

Awesome place for breakfast, I was in leith looking for a bacon roll but I suddenly came across with this little piece of portugal, great coffees, best cake that I ever had and awesome service, it tick all the boxes. It is a must go!

You are spoilt for choice for cafes in this part of town, and Casa Amiga stands head and shoulders above all the others I have tried. The most delightful staff, amazing selection and fantastic coffee, I'll often duck in on a morning for some breakfast in bed for the missus, she loves the coconut buns and a mocha. Love it, especially in the summer months with the outdoor seating. 10/10

Ainda bem que nossa pousada ficou perto deste ótimo cafe! Funcionários simpáticos e atenciosos. Paes, doces frescos e deliciosos. Se você gosta de doces portugueses como eu, vale a pena ir ate la para o um cafe com pastel de nata. ;)

Trato muy agradable.Local pequeñito pero bajando unas escaleras tienen tres mesas que crean un ambiente más tranquilo y sosegado. Posiblemente el mejor café que haya tomado por ahora en Edimburgo. Probamos unos dulces de nata (creo recordar que se llamaban) muy típicos que estaban deliciosos. Hojaldre crujiente y crema deliciosa, recién hecho seguramente. Me quedé con ganas de probar más cosas. Con toda seguridad vuelva.

Amazing like always .Friendly and helpful We can't imagine better place to drink coffee and eat some pastries.

A firm favourite on any visit to Leith Walk. Walk through the door and you feel like you're in Portugal. Authentic tastes, lovely coffee, welcoming atmosphere. And of course, the Portuguese custard tarts!

Great pastries and really nice coffee served by really friendly polite staff. It's warm inside which helps during our winter weather. Hope the roadworks do not interfere with their business Well worth the drive from one end of town to the other. Great stuff !

Along with other contributors - i totally agree this is a great place to go for a special coffee and cake. Lots of bustle and good atmosphere to enjoy it in. Easy to find on the main street to Leith - highly recommended for a treat for yourself or with family and friends.

Great food and Patricia smile is the icing on the Pasteis de Nata... don't hesitate to order special soups and other Portuguese delicacies 20/10:)

I was looking for places where I could buy Portuguese products and I came across Casa Amiga on google. So I decided to give it a try. It is a quite small place but since you get in you feel a really nice and comfy atmosphere at the cafe. The deco is also quite interesting. On the right of the entrance you have some good Portuguese products (for a second I was no longer in Edinburgh but in my Lisbon!) and in front you can order everything as if you would be in Portugal: pastel de nata, bolo de arroz,... staff was really nice and it's good to talk Portuguese once in a while. Totally recommend it and I will be back soon !

Amazing custard tarts! Amazing pastry and custard filling! Friendly staff and good service. Will return soon!

This place always has someone in it and has such a warm atmosphere. The mocha was outstanding! Probably the best I've ever had. Service was also great! Will definitely come back.
