Coletti & Co in Edinburgh, City of

Regresamos a Coletti and Co nuevamente para almorzar antes de nuestro día de spa en el Sheraton. Esto es "un hallazgo". La comida era sabrosa casera fresca y sabrosa. El personal es tan servicial y amable que está realmente interesado en usted cuando le atienden. Así que vale la pena una visita!

Had an espresso at this place twice, both times could not drink it as sour. I guess milk and fancy foam disguise that but coffee seems low quality. Too bad, as staff is super nice and it looks like a lovely place to stop for coffee when waiting for a bus or meeting people. I considered alerting staff but they probably can't do much about it. I sincerely hope they change the brand. Or, if the brand is high quality and arabica, the way they prepare it as something is not right.

Had a great lunch - home cooked food fresh and full of flavours - my sister had a pumpkin frittata and gorgeous home made soup and I had a tasty ciabatta. Coffee was tasty too!! Staff were helpful and friendly and coffee shop was spotlessly clean Will definitely go back next time I’m in Lothian road. Reasonably priced.

Fue un miércoles alrededor de las 12 del mediodía que fue bastante tranquilo para empezar, se puso a trabajar alrededor de la 1 pm. La sopa de tomate feta bastante normal no la terminó. ¡Torta de mantequilla de millonario!

¡Muy útil si vas al Lyceum Theatre / Usher Hall / Filmhouse y a otras atracciones de la zona! Comida para llevar disponible, y buenas raciones si te sientas. Nadie te molesta para que te apures, así que es agradable conocer amigos aquí.

Good salad, nice torte, refreshing iced tea, reasonable price and spiffy service. How do you beat that?

Met an colleague here for a coffee - and was persuaded to have a cake too Great choice of cake and coffee was very drinkable

Popped in for coffee and cake but ended up with a very tasty roast vegetable and halumi frittata with cashew nuts, salad and potato salad on the side. Amazing. Too full for cake afterwords though.

Great little place . We had soup which was super tasty, filling and hot. All the food looked lovely 😊

Lovely coffee, elegant venue, very friendly staff, good prices and very tasty food. Will be back regularly

I’ve been going here regularly for a while now and usually the food is pretty good and the portion size reasonable. However recently I noticed they decided to put the prices up, which is fine, but now you get a small plate of rice/pasta for the same as nearby places are doing a 2 course meal. That’s not an issue, prices go up, but why start serving your main meals on a plate the size of a saucer!! Is this just an attempt to make the portions look larger. This week we could hardly cut up the food up as the plate was so small! I realise the portions in Coletti aren’t the largest, but at least put it on a plate we can use!

Love this place. The focus is on the quality of recipes and ingredients. The salads are creative and wonderful. The sandwiches are generously filled. The dishes are lovely. Coffe is served with a glass of water (just like in Italy). I doubt if there is a better cafe in Edinburgh. I'd love to see the brand rolled out but suspect that it needs the owner's love of food and on site attention to detail to make it as good as it is.

Met a friend for lunch here. Very busy little place with a simple delicious selection of fresh homemade food. Despite it being busy, we ordered quickly and didn't wait long at all for our food. We both had amazing frittata and salad with cake and coffee afterwards. Was hard to choose what to have as it all looked great. Will definitely be back.

Very impressed with this place. Clean and efficient. Great range of items - the giant cous cous salasd was expecially nice. Wee bit on the pricey side, but it is the city centre

The coffee is great, the pastries are delicious, the scones are even better, and the staff are really friendly. Bonus points for using vegware coffee cups too!

Produtos frescos, bem confeccionados e saborosos. Atendimento super simpático. Numa zona calma, ótimo para um pequeno almoço relaxado ou um...

The owner of this cafe, Leah (or Lia?) is always cheerful and the helpful. I often go here for breakfast and I recommend their porridge. They come out with freshly baked pastries in the morning from the back, which smell good. They also have a...

First time I came here it was brilliant, the coffee, cake and lunch menu was amazing but that was a month ago, today I was excited to come here with my mum but as we arrived it was shut at 10.30am with no sign to...

Yo trabajo en la zona tan agradable y práctico para entrar a la hora del almuerzo. Bollos tienen un tamaño generoso, flavousome y sabroso. La pastelería en el relleno tarta es siempre bueno. La tarta de terciopelo rojo. . . . . . yum yum. Continuará entrar una vez a la semana.

Una verdadera joya, ensaladas, platos calientes recién hechos, pasteles y sándwiches. Bien gestionado, eficiente y la comida es muy buena.

Coletti is one of my top lunch spots and I usually struggle with too much choice, not too little. There are always a couple of substantial veg-packed salads, one veggie, one with meat; they have sandwiches galore, melts, tarts, posh pies, two daily soups and a hot food daily special. The food is top notch, though it is priced accordingly, so slightly more than your standard grab-and-go lunch. You get beautiful flavours and good quality ingredients for your money though.Today I saw a brie, cream cheese and beetroot tart, spicy salmon pie in filo pastry, Lamb tagine on rice hot food, chicken broth and spicy squash soup, mozzarella tomato focaccia, etc etc. The stuff is so nice I wish there was a bit more of it though.I am told that the coffee is good and the cakes are just to die for. Try looking at the sweet section and resisting! Again - lots of lovely punchy flavours, not just sugar overload, some gluten-free options there too. I don';t have a massive sweet tooth, but Coletti's millionaire shortbread would be part of my last meal! Or berry frangipane... Or the lemon polenta cake...The final thing that makes me return to Coletti's is the service. I would much rather leave my money at a much-loved, independent shop clearly run with passion and flare, than get my coffee at Costa and my salad at a supermarket.Highly recommended.

I'm writing this as I'm drinking your coffee and OMG it is so good! Definitely the nicest coffee I've had in Edinburgh. What beans do you use? The barista was fab at steaming the milk which is always a plus cause lots of coffee shops don't know the difference between a latte and a cappuccino! I'll defo be back

Have walked past here on so many occasions that when a friend asked to see me, we arranged to meet here. Had an absolutely delicious cheese scone. Nice clean place and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Have been visiting this place regularly for lunch for almost a year now, and the quality is consistently great. There are always really interesting and delicious vegetarian options on offer, including salads, pies and tarts. The staff are lovely and friendly and the speed of service has improved considerably in recent months.Customers are spoiled for choice with additional options of soup and the daily hot special.The only downside is that it's so popular the queue often reaches the door!

We had just landed in Edinburgh Airport and had the most uncomfortable flight ever. We were tired, disappointed and hungry. We found Coletti & Co through the recommendation of a staff member at our hotel who personally goes there for breakfast and lunch. The cafe was easy to find and was open early (9 am) on a Saturday. Inside, the place looked charming and clean. We had met the owner Lea who was so helpful and attentive. We decided to sample the brunch plate with the black pudding, the almond croissant, lemon coconut bar, tea and capuccino. The brunch plate was just big enough to share between 2 people if you are not very hungry but will also be very filling for 1 if you are truly famished. The star of this brunch was their black pudding... I have sampled black pudding in a few number of places around the UK but theirs in my humble opinion is truly the best. It was smooth in texture and very flavorful. Another thing that stands out is the service... It was evident that Lea, the owner genuinely loves what she does and it shows in the way she relates to her customers and in the food they serve. The locals also show their appreciation for this place as we were not even 10 minutes into the cafe when a number of people started to form a cue and they waited patiently as Lea, who was alone at the time took care of each person's order. When in Edinburgh and you need a pick-me-up, drop by at Coletti & Co and let the good food and good service there turn your morning around.

We had arranged to meet a group at chain coffee shop a few doors away but this looked so inviting we swapped venue. We were not disappointed. There is a great choice of breakfast products and the coffee was good. The staff were friendly and not bothered as our group arrived in dribs and drabs. It was so good we came back for afternoon tea with the best scones I have ever had.

I stopped here today for some lunch and to do some emails. The Lebanese lentil soup was devine. Hearty and spicy it warmed me up on a Dreich day! The staff were friendly and attentive oven though it was quite busy. The decor is clean and modern yet still warm and inviting. A final note on the coffee, which was a delight, so good I stayed for a second cup! I will definitely by coming in for my lunch again and I recommend that you do too!

Just had a fantastic coffee and salted caramel brownie at Coletti & Co. Great service, lovely coffee and an out of this world moist brownie. A must visit spot.

Meet Eat Drink - a simple notion for the infallible hospitality and immense pleasure of stopping by at any point of the day (7am to 5pm - on the odd occasion 6.55am on my way to work...). Whether it's a fleeting visit to swoop up your daily caffeine fix or a longer retreat from the busy day, I have only ever been marvelled by the inherently and naturally-friendly reception and pleased/satisfied beyond words by the delectable treats served up daily: Smooth coffee always made to perfection, heart-warming, tummy tantalising and soul-satisfying meals, followed up by 'write-home-to-your-loved-ones-they're-that-good' home-baked cakes.Make sure to stop in sometime. You might just have the coffee-stop epiphany that you've been unknowingly yearning for. Course, you might just really enjoy a great experience of meeting, eating and drinking...

Walked through Princes Street gardens and found this little gem serving teas and coffee. Was a nice break and as it was early we had a bowl of porridge each, the portions were massive with nice fresh toppings. Would definitely recommend

Popped in for tea & coffee so obviously you have to have a bit of cake. The drinks here are very reasonably priced, the cakes were delicious & the staff were really friendly & helpful. Recommended. Thank you.P.s. The chocolate brownie is to die for

Magnificent cakes too. One of those rare little cafes that gets everything right. The staff are always friendly and efficient. My Friday morning life saver!

I met a friend for a quick catch up over lunch and just thought we'd wander down Lothian Road (originally aiming for Ryan's Bar) when the wee cafe caught our eye.I was in the mood for a sandwich so it looked perfect.The waitress welcomed us in and found us a comfy seat. When it came to ordering she was very helpful as I didn't quite know how much to order. We both decided to order Chicken BLT baguettes which come with a choice of coleslaw or potato salad.As advised the baguettes were a decent sized and bulked out with a side salad and coleslaw. It was a nice hearty lunch which really hit the spot.We then opted to try one of the homemade cakes. The Lemon Polenta loaf was amazing, so light and moist I could've eaten the whole thing. My friend also enjoyed the Coconut slice.I would definitely pop back in here again for an affordable lunch, the service was great and food even better.

Coletti and Co is in an excellent location for anyone going to see a matinee showing of the near by theatres. The cafe offers a good variety of fillings for all lunchtime sandwiches, wraps etc. The variety of drinks is also very good. The best part of Coletti and Co is their atmosphere. Will hopefully be back again on the near future.

Brilliant millionaire shortbread washed down with a large cup of real coffee. Delicious. Welcoming, friendly service. Will definitely return.

Just visiting Edinburgh for the day, and after the drive in, we were ready for coffee. We found this place and decided to give it a go and were not let down. The coffee is lovely: a nice rich roast and made by people who know how to do coffee (my regular order is a macchiato, so it's all about how the coffee is done!). Service was prompt and friendly and we were even brought glasses of water without asking for it. The cakes were absolutely delightful (pistachio and cardamom cake was my favourite, although the brownie and orange polenta cake were also delicious). The atmosphere is good and the prices are reasonable. (I also accidentally left my phone behind here and they kept it safe for me and had it there when I retraced my steps and came in asking for it!). Great personal service: we had a good chat over our coffee and really enjoyed are stop in.

Its an unassuming cafe on a commercial street, but the food, service and atmosphere are top notch. Maybe its just unexpected to find a delicious meal in Scotland, with smiling and prompt service. Regardless, we left with smiles on our faces. Highly recommended.

This is a nice place. It's different from the sandwich shops on either side because it offers higher quality and fresher food, albeit with fewer choices and slightly more expensive. I would have preferred more food for the price. In saying that if you want more choice and bigger portions but without the same quality then go to the average sandwich shops nearby.

Really friendly, independent wee cafe on Lothian Road. The owner is lovely, and really gives the place the personal touch.They always have a really good (and different) selection of sandwiches and salads, which is a great change from the standard tuna or chicken mayo options.They also have almond milk for teas and coffees which is a winner for me.

A slice of Coletti quiche/tart is my new weekly treat. Melt in the mouth pastry with a tangy hint of Parmesan and possibly a pinch of cayenne, creamy, wobbly filling with stuffed with feta and peppers - mmm, mmm! As for brunch, top quality bacon and the silkiest, creamiest scrambled eggs ever, not to mention grilled tomatoes with a sprinkling of thyme and sourdough toast and butter make it one of the tastiest breakfasts you'll ever eat.I would love to review their chocolate brownie - sadly, they keep selling out which I guess speaks for itself!

My first visit today. i asked for a tuna melt toasti e. What I got was a burnt and very hard sandwich that I could not eat. It was very expensive and a waste of money. Will go somewhere else next time.

We went for breakfast/brunch,our first visit to this lovely cafe and really enjoyed it! Delicious scrambled eggs served on sour dough toast, with lovely grilled tomatoes. Lovely tea and coffee too. Excellent friendly waiting staff, in addition to the cafe been very busy. Lovely atmosphere and interior, loved it. We were on a weekend trip from York, but on our next visit to Edinburgh, we will definitely return to this lovely cafe;-)

Stopped off here for food on the way to Filmhouse. I had a fantastic spiced sweet potato salad with green salad, homemade coleslaw and tzatziki. Really enjoyed it and had no room left for any of the amazing looking homebaking ! I'll definitely be back to try it tho.

I discovered this Cafe during our Saturday walk. Its a beautiful cafe with great coffee and the cakes are delicious. I haven't eaten anything other than cake but I do intend to. Its now become our regular stop on a Saturday afternoon and I have recommended it to all of my friends.I have noticed a few things that I feel are really important and it seems to happen a regular occurrence in this cafe. I have noticed that customers aren't engaged as soon as they walk in the door - one day I saw at least 3 sets of customer walk out because they weren't greeted when they walked in. Tables left uncleaned for longer than they should. Its a beautiful cafe but I feel that sometimes it can be untidy and that lets it down. This staff although friendly seem to be going through the motions and a little uninterested, hence why I think the above happens. I do love this place and I will continue to go, but I feel that there will be customers who won't find out how lovely it is because of first impressions, and that's a shame.

Had a morning coffee with my eldest son at this fine establishment. Superb friendly service, coffee was delicious and the millionaire shortbread with dark chocolate was to die for. Best I've tasted. Highly recommend Colettie & Co.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. First of all, very friendly staff and the premise is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The food is all made in-house (except for the cakes which are made locally and are delicious). Their scones are to die for. If you haven't tried their Cheese Scones, do so as quickly as you can (even if you think you don't like cheese scones!). You will not be sorry! Fruit scones, sandwiches, panini's, homemade soups, home made hot lunch special each day, quiches/tarts and beautiful salads - all lovingly prepared and made with high quality ingredients. It's a great spot for breakfast or lunch and you won't be sorry. Caters a business crowd during the week so can be busy.

Just arrived in Edinburgh and feeling peckish. Found this place and decied to chance it. They have one of the best brie sandwiches going. Lovely atmosphere.

What a welcome arrival this was. Coletti and Co is very handy for the shops on Princes Street and George Street and also many Festival venues. We stepped in out of the howling wind an rain to a bright and beautiful sanctuary whose clean lines are relieved by Mediterranean-style floor tiles and glorious original coving around the ceiling. The offerings of brunchy/light lunch dishes, sandwiches and sumptuous-looking cakes were all tempting but we were both in the mood for scrambled eggs and bacon (smoked salmon was an option). Both of us are fuss-pots about our eggs and have to have really crispy bacon, so plenty of room for disaster here...But what came out of the kitchen was a plate of food that rasied the ordinary to extraordinary. Bacon crisped to perfection, and the herbed and fluffy eggs (served on toasted sourdough) were the best I've ever had outside my own house! I forced myself to eat more slowly, so as to savour each mouthful properly. Top notch coffee, quick and very friendly service, and a snip at just under £16 for two. No room for cake, but we'll be back!! PS I like a good loo, and this one is roomy, very clean and obviously well serviced throughout the day.

This place is lovely, and has the potential to be great. The interior is stylish and open. It's usually quiet, as it's new and perhaps not well known. We had paninis and coffee, both worth the price, some dressing on the salad would have been welcome. The staff are happy and welcoming. My only criticism is speed, considering how quiet and clean the place is, food could have arrived sooner.I certainly plan to come back.

I have been to this cafe a few times now, and on each occasion the service and food have been great. The food is top quality. The soups thick, the salads plentiful and quiches that look great. The cakes are also very tempting.

This is an excellent little cafe and takeaway on Lothian Rd. The food is of very high quality, especially the home made soups. They use very high quality produce. You should try the chicken and bacon BLT baguette, again like the soup very high quality and tastes deicious.the coffee that they serve is excellent as is the quality of staff - always friendly, welcoming and slick service.They have great cakes as well
