Dine Thyme in Edinburgh, City of

Everything perfect. Worker very kind and the food is perfect

Love this place very cosy atmosphere with lots of options, very happy with food quality and got a lovely little Christmas treat. Delightful

It’s been a while since I visited this fantastic place. It certainly didn’t disappoint, Scott as ever is the perfect host, friendly professional and consistent in his approach to serving quality fare. My wife said it was the best pot of tea and bacon roll she has had in many a year. I too was hugely impressed with my crispy bacon roll and excellent coffee. This place really is a gem and well worth a visit. Supporting hard working small businesses like this one rather than the big guys is really worth it. Take a bow Scott and Dine Thyme.

So I ordered a take away breakfast as a lazy treat on my day off. I am delighted that this was a fantastic idea because I will do this again. It arrived cooked to perfection, with a beautiful fried egg on top and a wee ramekin separate with the beans. Cheers chef

The nicest place we have ever visited for the breakfast! thanks to the very friendly owner ☺️

Great service from the owner who was very welcoming. The fry-up we had was great, and the portions were very generous.

The Mexican style bean & chilli soup was excellent. Coeliac, Gluten Free & Vegan. Then had a great pulled pork jacket potato, again gluten and dairy free!

Pretty awful, got a bacon roll and I'm sure the roll was from the day before, very dry and falling to peices.The price for a bacon roll and a tea nearly a £5,won't be back

I had a fabulous brekkie this morning and the square sausage and tattie scones were so tasty. Thank you Scott for being a wonderful host!

I have been a customer of Dine Thyme for several years and I have never had a a bad food order, the food is always warm and fresh and Scott is always happy and smiling! Please visit if in the area!

Small but very good food and the owner is lovely!!

Thanks Scott for your hospitality, local knowledge and great cooked breakfasts for two days running. Part of our Edinburgh memories.

Lovely wee spot to grab some breakfast, my favourite place to get a hot breakfast roll, and the service is always so friendly. Definitely recommend and will keep coming back!

Dine Thyme is a wee gem in the centre of Edinburgh, where you can get good value for money rolls and coffee. Scott is a great host and always makes me feel at home. I love coming every morning for my coffee and watch the world go by. Dine Thyme is a community institution that we simply couldn’t live without. Fully recommend.

The manager is a considerate and very friendly person who listens to serve you best. The place a little away from the tourist center. I had my best Scottish breakfast there.

Very delicious and friendly staff

What a find! Could not fault the awesome food and amazing service from Scott! Ticking all the boxes! 😎😍😁👌

Very Nice place with lovely food and Scott was so sweet and helpful and gave us really good service and a lot of tips for our time in Edinburgh, so definitely go there if you are in the area 😄

Amazing food and massive breakfast! Owner is a lovely chap, very friendly. Coffee was nice and strong- and hot!!

We had a lovely meal, at a good price! Simple and clear menu. Scott (the Owner) is a wonderful guy - He is pleasant to talk to and helps to make the experience even better. We will come back if we ever come to Edinburgh again. 10/10 experience.

I had a wonderful experience at Dine Thyme. It was my first day in Edinburgh and after a day of travel before where I didn’t get to eat much if at all, I was starving and craving a solid Scottish breakfast. The food was fantastic, fresh, filling and amazing value for money. I had a large cappuccino as well and it just hit the spot. The owner is lovely and made me feel so welcomed. He gave great tips for navigating the fringe (and what to stay away from !) and I’ll definitely be back before I go! Can’t recommend enough, if you can’t get a seat just grab takeaway.

A little one who prepares delicious breakfast. We recommend

Dine Thyme is a staple amongst the community, I have been a regular for the past year or so always ordering the "Full Works” the ingredients being fresh and super tasty, great portion to boot. Customer service is second to none, always greeted with a smile and a chat. I will continue to order for many years to come and if you are reading this don't hesitate to pop in and give them a try you won't regret it 😁😋

Lovely service, great portion size, will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

My favourite coffee place. The owner of this place is so nice and friendly. He makes you feel so welcome. With a good variety and selection of delicious food. Perfect for your breakfast and brunch. Love this place! Highly recommended

Fantastic traditional food, soups are super tasty, bacon sandwiches are a dream, pure Scottish fare all cooked to order. The place is also super nice, 2 tables outside. Service is professional and really friendly, staff very knowledgeable about the city and very helpful with tourists. A real Edinburgh place! I have become a regular every time I’m in Edinburgh.

Brilliant wee place. Lovely food and amazing service definitely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch if you are in the area

Dine Thyme is an absolute gem,from the moment you step inside, you are greeted with an inviting ambiance that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The menu at Dine Thyme is a testament to the chef's creativity and expertise. Each dish is crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are nothing short of spectacular. One of the highlights of our visit was the impeccable service. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. In summary, Dine Thyme is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Love Dine Thyme. The proprietor is a legend and the baked potatoes are exceptional. Eating there is the highlight of my week!

Well, I have been going to Dine thyme for years now. Scott the owner of this sweet little shop is a real delight. Every time I go in there he always greets you with his electric smile. No matter how early I’m there in morning he’s ready to roll out with your delicious breakfast rolls. It really is an asset to the local community in the area, and I know others whom have busy life’s, who are rushing around trying to get things done before they start work. So to just be able to pop in pick up some tasty for your breakfast or lunch on your way in to work. Really does saves time. I would be lost without dear dine thyme. I love the small independent shops and their vibes. Highly recommend

Scott is always a pleasure ash's a joy to be served by. Food is amazing value for money ans always great!

Everything is good, no long waiting

I was on Holiday in Edinburgh and found this gem...Dine Thyme is the BEST place for breakfast or just a snack.....very yummy food that is very fresh at prices so reasonable you will want to go back again and again......you can even have it delivered by UBER EATS and others if you wish....Scott is so friendly and makes you feel at home.....this is the BEST deal in town...

I go here every week for lunch - best jacket potato in Edinburgh and exceptional service! Highlight of the week. Dine Thyme is a way of life and I will die on that hill. 👌🏻

I found this wonderful place for Breakfast....everything was so fresh and yummy...and the prices were super reasonable.....the service was amazing...Scott is great ...he makes you feel at home....and a great location.....it was so good we returned several times also for lunch.....

Ordered the night before for delivery between 9 and 9.30; two cooked breakfasts with apple juice and orange juice with cutlery for delivery by Deliveroo. All was as expected of a cooked breakfast that had travelled a couple of miles. Surprisingly it was still hot and very tasty, greaaaaat sausage and extra bacon ;-) We were also surprised with the added touches of extra ketchup, salt, pepper, hand wipes and of course the two packets of Haribo that we received. The delivery was exactly on time by the lovely Tomasz. If you see this I'm sorry you didn't get a tip. We had no cash on us and being a Deliveroo virgin I couldn't work the app out properly, between that and my banking app it was all lost in the cloud somewhere. Thank you

Tried today this little, barely noticeable from Leith Walk place. And it exceeded all expectations! The gentleman who works there is super nice and friendly.😊 Good variety of food, decent price, great service. Thank you very much!

Delicious, affordable breakfast!

First time here but will definitely be back! Clearly high quality ingredients, freshly cooked, all nicely wrapped up to take away (a small amount of indoor/outdoor seating available too) and incredible value for money. If you get The Works, it really does mean The Works! Brilliant service and the whole place is sparkling clean with a really comforting vibe. Highly recommended, such a hidden gem!

Actually the loveliest place! Got a morning roll, the works breakfast box and two coffees and they were perfect! Everything was lovely and fresh, cooked perfectly and more than worth the money. Awesome food, great customer service, genuinely a great place! Thank you!

Good coffee,great bacon and sausage roll,I'm not one to eat breakfast,but this was very good ,I also learned something.... Dreich ...been here in Scotland over a year and not heard till now ... every day is a learning day :)

Dropped in to Dine Thyme for a quick mocha but ended up talking to the owner for ages. He’s so knowledgeable about Edinburgh and best places to eat. Cafe is lovely with beautiful hanging baskets outside that are very well taken care of. Sat outside at a street table and noticed how busy it was with locals and deliveries so it’s very popular! Would definitely recommend and looking forward to dropping in again for a sandwich.

Dropped in while walking down Leith Walk as it looked very inviting with beautiful hanging baskets outside. Coffee was delicious. It was very busy with people coming in for light lunches and delivery services for take away. It’s clearly a very popular place and the menu looked really good value. Sat outside with my coffee and chatted with the very friendly owner. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

Excellent service via deliveroo. Food arrived hot and was very enjoyable.

Tout est parfait, la cuisine est très bonne. Très chaleureux et très gentil. Je recommande. Le breakfast est complet et super bon !

Im generally rather selective over the reviews i bother giving, but after popping by Dine Thyme, I had to. It would be 5 stars for the service alone, but add to that the food...well I couldn't of been happier. Its places like this that really show what large chain establishments are missing. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be stopping by. Five stars all the way!!!

I visited this place on my trip to Edinburgh recently, a great independent cafe. The service was gamazing I Had a breakfast roll and a coffee while sitting outside enjoying the weather while we have it. The flowers outside gives it a unique charm

A lovely independent cafe! Yummy, freshly prepared, good quality food. Great value, with friendly and professional service. Dine Thyme is also in a great spot - just a few minutes’ walk from Waverley station, set back from the main road in an almost traffic-free area. I enjoyed my breakfast outside and would definitely go back on my next trip to Edinburgh.

Super friendly host, great service and fabulous, excellent value breakfast and coffee. Small, compact place with few tables outside - worth a visit

After a heavy friday night in Edinburgh a bacon roll and Irn Bru was just what the doctor ordered! Thank you Scott for your wonderful smile and cheery banter! Looking forward to visiting again soon - love that you are also on the apps for a fast delivery to my door!

Lovely place that serves amazing breakfast baps.They even kindly gave us a bottle of water for free.I will 100% come back in the future.

Paninis are amazing, and they took the time to include a little business card to say thank you for supporting and helping them survive during these times - more happy to support independent businesses like this!

Very fresh ingredients clean and tasty

Best breakfast rolls around, a hidden gem! Will do morning rolls, fresh coffees, and various other snacks - amazing value for money too!

I used to go here regularly for a cheeky tuna pannini. Lovely and quiet wee spot in amongst the bustle of Leith. Food is simple and tasty, and Scott is super friendly. Shame I changed jobs and I'm now at the other end of the city. Thanks!

Guys. I ordered a breakfast via uber eats and was easily one of the worst meals I've ever had. All microwaved and low quality food from at least 1 day ago. Do not eat here

A place I visit numerous times a week. Love going here during my lunch times to enjoy the panini’s Scott has to offer (he now knows my order without me having to say a word!). Highly recommend this place if you are after good quality at a reasonable price.

We wanted to avoid touristic places and we founded this super small nice place! The omelettes are delicious and the owner is such a nice and interesting person, thank you again 💘

This cafe is a hidden gem. It’s tiny (3 seats inside, 2 outside) but the omelettes, soup and jacket potatoes were just the simple no-nonsense food we were looking for. Very reasonably priced, great host and the omelettes were the best we’ve had anywhere :)

Popped in here for a bite of lunch (and to see the lovely Scott) excellent choice of fresh homemade food. Very popular place. And a surprise birthday cake as well 😊 thoroughly recommend a visit if you're visiting the area.

A tutti gli italiani e non che visitano o vivono nella capitale scozzese dovete assolutamente andare a provare il caffè in questo piccolo ma fantastico locale vicino al centro...Il proprietario scozzese è una persona stupenda e disponibile! Eccellente servizio e davvero economico.

Love this place, excellent breakfast with superb service. Highly recommend a visit it’s a little gem for a coffee and a friendly face, the nicest welcome in Edinburgh.

I have been using Dine Thyme for well over a year and in that time I can honestly say I have not a bad word to say about the food and the service. Whatever I ask for our business I get and Scott is always there to help with any menu ideas that I need for lunches. Lets keep the our business local and give a little back by supporting Scott!! Scott is a great role model in business and practice! Keep up the excellent work!!

I Have been visiting Dine Thyme since it opened as I work nearby on Tuesday and Friday Afternoons. It is always great to see Scott and enjoy the Homemade Soup of the Day which is always excellent. Great value too!

From the warmest of welcomes to the heartiest of soups I was most certainly warmed up on a cold day. The range of food available is impressive and the quality could not be faulted. I have visited before and it’s always fantastic. Whenever I’m in the city it’s definitely going to be my go to for supplies for my walking and exploring.

Dine Thyme is terrific! The food is excellent, the prices are excellent and the owner, Scott, is a treasure. The place is impeccably clean, the food is always fresh. He does all his own cooking, so you know that everything is really home made. He has very interesting and varied lunch specials at great prices. I love his chicken mayo, and have it regularly. Fresh and tasty. You can also sit in at a little counter if you want to have a longer chat with Scott while you slurp your fresh home made soup.

Working only a street away, this is an ideal cafe for morning cravings as well as hearty lunchtime meals. The food absououtley amazing and the service is even better. Food quality is always to an up most standard and very affordable. The banter is wonderful and every customer always walks out with a smile on their face

Most days I wander up Leith Walk, on the way to work, feeling tired and low. But then I think about Dine Thyme, and how good a breakfast roll would be. And so, most days, I take a swift left turn and head for Scott's lovely little shop. It's bright and clean and the welcome is always warm, no matter how cold the day. The food is simple and tasty and the coffee is wonderful. So FORGET about Costa, and FORGET about Starbucks. Support a local business instead and discover better food at better prices with a good bit of banter too. Seriously, mornings aren't the same without a visit here.

If you like your breakfast rolls, panninis, even the cakes he sells at the front of the counter are really tasty.......best bacon and egg roll going.....really clean, well looked after , spot on can't fault this place for a bite to eat ....coffee is good aswell :) .

Everything I've had here is delicious. The Scottish breakfast is particularly tasty and comforting. It's a quick in and out with really good prices and lots of flavor. All around, it's a great experience. I highly recommend!

I discovered Dine Thyme whilst on a business trip and staying in a hotel around the corner. What a fantastic find, you won't be disappointed dining here. The breakfast was well cooked by Scott, well presented and very reasonably priced and be sure not to miss his freshly ground coffee!

I have used Dine Thyme regularly since Scott took over and transformed this neat little shop. Freshly made soups and some fantastic specials to accompany his freshly made filled rolls that never disappoint. Scott gives brilliant service, listens to his customers and even provided the mustard of my choice! His lunchtime meal deals are great value.

Found this place a few weeks ago, was hungry (and hungover) on a Saturday.

Amazing prices for real Scottish food. The food is very good from the haggis to lasagna and macaroni and cheese, it's all excellent. Worth a 20 minute walk for the prices. Very friendly and efficient service, too.

Fab little place with great food and exceptionally low prices. My favorite takeaway cafe in Edinburgh!

One of the best restaurants I have been to amazing anyone who wants one of the best meals should definitely go to this fantastic shop.
