Coro the Chocolate Cafe - Frederick St. in Edinburgh, City of

Staff and atmosphere were lacking, service was poor. Food was average - really lacked enough sauce over the waffles felt it was a bit stingy servings and pricey.

So so tasty. The cake is to die for 😋😋😋. Great service and friendly staff with a bit of humour which always makes the experience better!!

Brilliant place to have something sweet. Staff very friendly and helpful. I ordered pancakes with Nutella, Ferrero and strawberries and a hot chocolate which surprising was full of marshmallows and whipped cream. Totally loved it!!🙏🏻

Fantastic service and accommodated my tree nut allergy. Lovely spot and the Christmas music was a lovely touch. The door open made it slightly cold but otherwise was a lovely visit. Thank you.

Must visit, food is Soo good and great service by prashit.

I visited this place on a Sunday morning, and while they kindly squeezed us in despite not having a reservation, the overall experience was a mix of highs and lows. The place was quite busy, and we had to wait a long time just to get the menu. Unfortunately, the service felt sloppy, with extended waiting times for both ordering and receiving our food. I tried their waffles with Nutella, but the dish had far too much Nutella, making it overwhelming and difficult to enjoy. On the bright side, their Berry Bliss was exceptional—a perfect blend of fresh berries that was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It truly lived up to its name and was the highlight of the visit. While the service needs significant improvement, I would recommend visiting to try the Berry Bliss—it’s worth it!"

I have come to this place many times and always delighted! This time we were served by Prasmit, who was super nice and helpful! A 10 ✨

On entering you are immediately hit with the smell of sugar-but this is the reason you come to Cora. Staff were prompt & friendly on our visit at 3pm Wed in Dec. A hot chocolate came with some toppings & tea was accompanied with a small biscuit. An order of a savoury crepe was a surprisingly good serving, hot & arrived promptly. Salad garnish was dressed, plentiful. Very limited savoury options and the crepe was overly sweet for me for being savoury but fluffy & filling. Sad that at £3 for a herbal tea bag, the water came in one of those tiny metal pots that scald you. More water would have been nice instead of a small cup. The front room is nice, cosy but we were taken to the back room which was cold & put us in mind of a canteen. All sweet treats looked generous portions. If that is your thing-this place might be for you! Not ideal for prams & several steps to enter.

The food was amazing! Service was great.

An absolutely amazing spot. Always great to hit the spot for a sweet treat!

Awful Service, booked a table 10.30, ordered 10.40, 11.05 they brought just the coffee. So I cancelled the order and went to another place. Waste of time

Thank you so much for making our birthdays special! Eugene was a fantastic host!

We really love this place, the hot chocolate and the crepes are amazing :)

Went here on a whim, didn't realise you needed a reservation to enter. Got told off for taking a step past the please wait sign - I just wanted to see if there was a table free before I wasted my time! Then we were made to wait another 10 minutes just for them to come up to say they're fully booked... Maybe just say that at the start?

Prashit was very friendly and the desserts were also yum. Very kind service. Definitely would recommend others too

Super great cafe, great location and really nice food. Highly recommend the waffles (the bacon and egg waffle was really nice)! Aiza who served us was super helpful and great also!

I absolutely loved this place! The hot chocolate and waffles were delicious and our server Aiza was extremely friendly! Highly recommend :)

A really cozy place. Loved the service and theirs welcoming nature. The waffles were great as well as the tea and hot dark chocolate.

Enjoyed desert here after walking through the Christmas Market. Delicious chocolate deserts and coffee. Sold out of cheesecake so that must also be good. Fast, friendly service.

The absolute home of chocolate!! We are there twice during our staying in Edinburgh. At first,We had the big fondue of chocolate which was really delicious but not so big for its money. The second day we had a death for chocolate cake and a sushi crepe.Both of them fantastic! You have to try it for sure if you never be in the capital of Scots! Many thanks to Anjitha and Tabby for their services ❤️

The hot chocolate here is banginggg😍😍 Aiza who served my friends and I, loved her, she was very welcoming and sweet.

Loved the chocolate fondue. Thanks to Aiza for great service 😊

Aiza severed myself and i and she was really nice and welcoming

Okay tell me Why this js the best chocolate based food and drink I’ve ever had in my LIFE !!!! And thank you Anjitha for being such a sweet and considerate host ❤️✨

We tried Their death by chocolate cake and the hot chocolate. This was hands down the best hot chocolate i have had!! We will be back again thanks to Anjitha and her adorable and bubbly service ! Totally loved the energy!

One of the best hot chocolates you'll find in Edinburgh. Prashit provided incredible service!

Really enjoyed the food here at Coro’s. It has a cosy winter vibe atmosphere which is really nice when compared to other dessert places which only strive to be aesthetic. The food was indulgent and definitely hits the mark when craving something sweet. Prashit was excellent in discussing their best sellers and was able to make great recommendations. He was kind and very attentive. I would definitely go back.

Very good food and desert . Staffs are very good and friendly specially Prashit. His service and hospitality was very good . I have been to so many desert places but this one is really good.

Excellent food and pancakes. Served by Preshit with excellent service and smiling face. Would recommend everyone to try the sweets and food here.

The place is rather small but not the portion. Their pancake and waffles are huge! A bit top sweet for my preference but it still very yummy ❤️

We experienced such great customer service and Prashit was soo lovely, definitely coming back here again!!

Excellent service and food 10/10 honestly. I booked a table for me and me mum as it was her birthday and they surprised my mum with a happy birthday slate with mini chocolate cake it was such a nice surprise, also lovely lovely staff and food, mum had crepes with strawberries, cream, ice cream & chocolate, I had sushi crepes with brownies and strawberries & Reese milkshake, highly recommend thank you was lovely.

Nice place to be with your family and friends.

I tried the death by chocolate cake and it was really good, very moist and really for chocolat lovers! A Little bit of a wait to take our orders but once we did the food and drinks came quickly, overall it was a great experience.

Lovely ambiance. Chocolate cake a must try 💯

Lovely food and service. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Crepe was delicious and fabulous tea - will absolutely be back.

Very good Place to have an afternoon dinner. Clean and good food

Overpriced and underwhelming. For the price of the food the portions weren't big. The service was pleasant enough, however, we did not feel it had a welcoming feeling. Slightly disappointed with our visit after seeing it online.

Love this place too bit😍😍😍 fantastic atmosphere with excellent service especially Preshit

The cake(death by chocolate) and waffles( cookie jar) were awesome! But the service was slow and the staff discouraging, saying the wait is very long, even despite telling them we are ready to wait!

Had a mouthwatering and soul satisfying death by chocolate! Prashit was very kind and helpful in assisting us with the order.

Awesome. Excellent service by prasnth

You can smell the sweet right after you open the door🥰 boost your mood definitely

The pancakes here are absolutely delicious, it was quite busy when we were there but staff were trying their best to accommodate everyone and be attentive, I reckon they would benefit from hiring another staff member to support the front of house team. Would definitely come again!

This cake is to die for!! No wonder why its name fits so perfectly (death by chocolate), it was so decadent and delicious. I will definitely come back to Edinburgh just for this cake. I must say, this cake is not for newbies as it is super sweet and I saw many people who couldn’t even it half of it, and even couple sharing it couldn’t get halfway … but this wasn’t my first rodeo so I was able to devour it myself😂 Great portion to price ratio, and the amazing taste is an added bonus!

Amazing gluten free ‘death by chocolate’ cake. Disappointed with thier Nutella hot chocolate though. It costed more than £5 for a tiny cup

All very good, very abundant portions. Prashit really kind and helpful

Absolutely lovely. We found out about Coro on Instagram and decided when we came over to Edinburgh for the weekend that we were definitely coming here. Did not disappoint, staff were lovely and food was delicious. Only (non) issue was that they had run out of a few menu items. Would definitely recommend!

Place was very good and I had a Belgium chocolate waffle it was really awesome. It was a great service by parshit💯

We got the Nutella bubble waffle and a Berry Bliss waffle and it was really good. Prasit was really nice and welcoming.

We come to Coro every week for lunch and it’s always great! The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious

Eugene was wonderful! Extremely friendly service, easy going atmosphere and great food & coffee.

Their treatment for Arabs is very bad and racist.

We had Boozy Cow for dinner (next door) and decided to visit here for lunch after seeing their Death by Chocolate Cake on TikTok. Phwoar! It was the best chocolate cake I have ever had. Perfectly baked, perfectly moist and perfectly doused in probably too much chocolate! But I didn't die, which is a good thing! Staff were friendly and helpful too. Can't fault it.

Awesome service from Eugen and the food was excellent. Great spot for a birthday breakfast 😋

Had ordered Death by chocolate cake which was definitely worth it. Prashit was really great, kind and generous.

prashit recommends the chocolate sauce. that is very nice！！

Everyone can try his homemade chocolate sauce! Super yummy!! Prashit give our nice service!! 大好き~~(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

The food was wonderful, and the service was quick and efficient, thanks to our server Prashit.

Prashit service is very good and recommended us to order the chocolate sauce, it was delicious. The chocolate sauce is delicious. Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people. I love it so much.

I love Coro the Chocolate Cafe! The interior is so cute and the chocolate theme is really nice. The ambience is really cosy and nice too. As for the food, we had the “Death by Chocolate cake”. I was expecting it to be overly sweet but it was delicious and the whipped cream helped to neutralise the indulgence of the chocolate. We were served our cake by Prashit who was super helpful so credits to him! A great place to try some delicious desserts in Edinburgh.

The Cake was good. Great service by Prashit

Good food and service, would recommend! Thank you to our server, Prashit :)

They played my favourite song 😭😭 best timing while having the death by chocolate cake. PS, Prashit was very kind and helped with our orders!

Great food, nice staff, thanks Prashit.

Thank for service and for all waiter's . bear our requests

The food was absolutely delightful, bursting with rich flavors and prepared to perfection. Each dessert was a testament to culinary excellence, making every bite a pure pleasure. The service was remarkable as well, with attentive staff ensuring that our needs were met promptly. Prashet, in particular, stood out with his warm demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu. He expertly guided us through our choices, recommending desserts that perfectly matched our tastes and preferences. His friendliness added a personal touch to our dining experience, making it even more enjoyable.

Absolutely lovely food and lovely staff as well , definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area

Food is always delicious and staff are lovely, would definitely recommend!

The food was really good as well as the service. Prashit, our server, made sure we were very comfortable. The cafe is quite small, but cozy.

Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thanks Prashit. 👍

Came for my daughter’s 9th birthday and had a great time. So much effort was given for her and it made the visit special. Had the crepe sushi, fondue and the waffles and was all amazing and filling!! Staff so attentive and friendly. Highly recommend

Best pancake I've ever eaten in my life!! It was really delicious🥞🍓!!! The place is nice and in an excellent location but the service is quite confusing. As I was a tourist and it was the first time I went there I didn't understand much, in fact when I went to order at the cash register I didn't know that you had to pay immediately and it was my fault. there was a bit of a queue because I had to go back to the table to get my wallet. I liked the fact that you could get unlimited fresh water, maybe here in Scotland it's normal but in Italy they even make you pay for a glass of water because they never give you tap water. Super recommended even though the prices are not very cheap

The S’mores cookie & Death by Chocolate cake were exceptional! The gooieness of the cookie dough with the toasted marshmallows was sinfully delicious. The Death by Chocolate was so rich and creamy.

Not nearly as good as the hype, very dirty tables, floors etc. Slow service, staff didn't really seem to know who had booked and who hadn't, waited 20 mins for the chocolate cake (tasted like a cheap defrosted cake), then the milkshake took another 15 mins

Friendly staff, amazing food, great service. Best desert place I’ve been to. And the music is 10/10. I greatly recommend!

We’ve been to Coro on a busy Sunday and then on a chilled Friday and I think it was better during the weekdays since it wasn’t as crowded. The food is actually amazing. We ordered a crepe and a waffle (both topped with Dark Belgian Chocolate, strawberries and milk chocolate flakes). I highly recommend the waffles, they were so fluffy and delicious. The team members are very nice and kind, honestly, I would go back again just because of this.

Very nom food! Massive sugar crush as hoped for! Took a little while to get served and for the food and drink to arrive thought

The food is nice and a generous amount. However, this is not the place for new moms or toddlers. There is no baby changing space/area. They staff allowed us to change only inside the toilet, where the toilets are very small and not much cleaned. So, my husband has to hold the 2.5 month baby, and i have changed the diaper. While my baby was in an extremely uncomfortable position. I don't blame the staff, but it is something that should be highlighted to the management about this place. The strange fact is in Scotland, we say that we allow breastfeeding everywhere, I wonder why no one highlights this issue in most of the restaurants..!!!

The cakes (Death by Chocolate Cake, Ferrero Roche Cheesecake) were fantastic and the portions were generous. However, the staff seemed a bit worn out. I had some concerns about the cleanliness of the place; something felt off. It also really needs some renovations, as it appeared to be poorly maintained. I probably wouldn’t choose to dine in again, but I might consider ordering takeout.

Terrible service. 2 days in a row they didn't have the Cake by death we had reserved for. Had to wait 1 hour for our tea, which we then no longer wanted due to another activity, for which they did not want to give the money back. Which we had indicated when ordering and reserving the table. Everything is added to the order by hand, unfortunately we did not experience it as very hygienic. A shame, because expectations were very high after all the Insta stories.

Nice concept on the other hand we piss off the waiters so much that we want to leave we feel downright uncomfortable for having dared to enter the store and disturb their peace... plate thrown on the table, no answers to the questions… we are forced to pay before normal otherwise we would have run away!

Working as a Barista myself I always like to try new places for coffee. Popped into Coro yesterday when I was in Edinburgh for the Blue Man group. Tried their Mocha, wife had a Tea...oh my god! It's to die for. Wanted to try another place for a different coffee, but Coro's was so good, we popped back before going home for another one, and tried the Death by Chocolate and the Fondue Dip. It just got better from there. They don't skimp on cream, chocolate is great, fresh fruit for the dips, and staff lovely and knowledgeable. It's out new favourite place next time we visit. 5*****.

Great vegan options. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Can't fault anything.

It was worth the instagram hype but the owner or idk the manager the man was very rude he made the whole expirence worst but if you want good food you can go.

We got the fondue and pancakes. They both came with a very generous serving of fruit and lots of things to dip into the fondue. Would highly recommend!

terrible service. Waited over hour

Amazing pancakes and pretty ok prices

Just as advertised on Instagram. The death by chocolate was 11/10

Food was good - not as spectacular as I’ve seen on IG and a huge calorie bomb, but very good. The café itself is cute, but needs some upgrades on cleanliness. The glasses for water were dirty and the toilet looked like public train station toilets. Staff was nice - especially the cute girl who just started that day. She apologized a couple times because she wasn’t familiar yet with the registry but she was soo sweet and kind.

A late night chocolate cafe serving delicious hot chocolate and chocolate on waffles or pancakes etc.

Long waiting time for food. Just next to the entrance, the window sill is full of rubbish from the previous day. There is no ventilation, and the smell inside is overwhelming. All of our clothes smell terrible of burned food. The staff was wearing dirty aprons from a few days ago. I left with the head ache because of the smell. The food was average. Pancakes' texture was rubbery and gummy. My boyfriend is making better for breakfast. I'm not coming back.

I visited this cafe with friends a few days ago. The food was nice and tasty, but we had to wait for more than half an hour for our food, including drinks. The whole atmosphere was ruined because the cafe was really understaffed. There was only one person in the kitchen cooking food and drinks during peak time at the cafe. It's a shame that the management doesn't hire more people required for this busy cafe.

Worst service ever! It's a shame because the desserts are delicious, but they act like they're doing you a favor, they're rude and intentionally ignore you. I've given it three chances and bad service is a culture there.

We ordered a basic death by chocolate cake and it was served to us after 50 minutes from the order time. I had to ask them for the cake twice and the man who served us was rude enough for the month. Worst customer service and reception at CORO

Best dessert place in Edinburgh city centre! New decor is lovely since the refurbishment. Kinder Bueno milkshake was one of the best I've had! We often come here for a sweet treat when in Edinburgh. Very well priced and lots of options for both sweet and savoury. Very much geared towards creating your own which I love. Would highly recommend (I'd also recommend booking, especially during the festive season)

Amazing chocolate cake called Death by chocolate cake and I also had the dark chocolate hot chocolate which very tasty. Highly recommend for all those chocolate lovers out there.

Excellent taste and portions. Pancakes are legendary.

Ate delicious cheesecakes. Food very good. Staff friendly. Toilet unfortunately filthy.
