Edinburgh Larder Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

I booked for breakfast at the cafe. Excellent little cafe that opened around 7.30am in the weekday. They have Matcha Lattes and accommodate for milk alternatives. I am not vegan but ordered the vegan breakfast which was excellent. I also ordered a piece of Banana bread to take away for later in the day (which was also very good). Fast service, loved this place, alot of people turned up as soon as they opened so they were popular.

Locale davvero carinissimo, piatti ottimi, veramente una scelta azzeccata. Noi abbiamo preso una full Scottish breakfast (17£) e uova alla Benedict (14 £). Menzione particolare per il pudding e l'hugghins, buonissimi. Assolutamente consigliato.

Fab Eggs Benedict...such tasty bacon and perfect (big and rich yellow) eggs. Mushrooms on toast with a poached egg also very much enjoyed. Very good pot of tea to wash it down! Service great !

Delicious food and very attentive service;

Lovely place, great food. A bit expensive, but that's to be expected in the old town.

It has both the EL and the Little Larder, it has its specific taste and style and is ideal for breakfast and Lunch. Though it is pricey, the experience is clear.

Nice Restaurant, had the vegetarian breakfast and the mushroom toast, good vegetarian Haggis! We were lucky to be very early, normally there is a long queue and you have to wait 15min+

The best Full Scottish we had in our entire two-week trip. They also have good lighter options, including vegetarian choices. Small-ish dining room, but they still got us in quickly on a weekday morning. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this place from the moment we walked in, the service from all the staff was welcoming and charming too. The food was really delicious, really recommend the full Scottish breakfast and also the kilted eggs. Our daughters also loved their waffles with golden syrup and the hot chocolates "on the house." A very kind gesture. The food here was a real highlight of our trip, we'll return when we're next in Edinburgh. Super location too, just off the Royal Mile.

Good hearty locally sourced breakfast. Walked in and only waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated at peak breakfast time on a Saturday. Good service and food all around.

Nice spot I've been meaning to try for a while, but it's always packed whenever I walk past. Managed to grab a table on a weekday and found the veggie breakfast and matcha superb. Service was lovely and I appreciated the water for my dog and the offer to heat up any milk I might have for my newborn. Will definitely be back.

Luckily we got a seat in this otherwise busy place... it was bit small place but the waiters helped us place our 2 strollers.. we had complete Scottish breakfast and hash... loved both of them..must visit place in old town of Edinburgh

Lovely breakfast spot with delicious food. The hash is incredible!

We didn't end up going so can't comment

Disappointing experience. I asked for scrambled eggs instead of poached and they told me they couldn't do it. Also, in the end they tried to charge me a tip despite the bad service. I don't recommend it. Disappointing experience. I asked for scrambled eggs instead of poached, and they said they couldn't do it. On top of that, they tried to charge a tip despite the poor service. I wouldn't recommend it.

It was a great experience overall but you should really try the waffle 🤤

This was our favorite place we ate our entire time in Scotland. The atmosphere, the food and drinks, and the staff were all amazing. Highly recommend

Food was good, but pricey. Food also arrived in either a disposable bowl(very environmentally friendly) however some food is coming in stainless steel bowls, that are difficult to eat from in my opinion. Service charge of 12.5% is applied ( but they do say it's optional when you get the bill).

Really great place to eat ..recommend booking a table gets really busy ..well worth a visit

Stunning spot. The line is worth the wait and moves quickly! The food was soo good. I got the hash and bf got eggs Benedict. Both were incredible. Tried haggis for the first time, do it!

Wow. The wait and queue were worth it. Excellent dishes, fresh raw materials. Kind and accurate service.

Very cute restaurant with great breakfast options. Coffee was great and had my first Haggis experience here. I can understand why everyone would be afraid to try Haggis but it was a great dish! Do it for the culture! Food was fresh and quality! Delicious and amazing experience

Amazing food and great service. It helps to arrive earlier in the morning to avoid the line.

We had a wonderful experience overall. Although our food arrived later than expected, it was exceptionally delicious and well worth the wait. Additionally, we appreciated the 25% discount offered as a gesture of apology for the delay.

I had breakfast with my friend, and although the place was really busy, the host quickly found us a table. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and the food was prepared exactly how we liked it. I chose the Eggs Royale, which came with plenty of salmon. It was absolutely worth every penny. You should definitely check this place out at least once!

Very rich breakfast, delicious coffee. Very friendly treatment. To repeat

Walk in and was kindly seated very quickly. One of the best sandwiches - smoked trout which was a recommendation from the waitress. Delicious soup of the day and mushrooms on toast. We were asked why we were visiting Edinburgh and as it was my mother’s birthday, the waitress offered her a pick from the sweet treats on the house! A great find, just off of the Royal mile.

The best breakfast I had in Edinburgh. Truly a delight and will be on my list when I return.

We waited for 15 minutes without a reservation at the Little Larder and were seated at the Larder. The Scottish breakfast was delicious. It is a tightly packed restaurant with not much space between tables.

Popped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. It was extremely busy with a queue outside, this has to be a great sign of quality. We didn't wait that long and we're offered a table near the door, only if we were ok with it. I ordered the Scottish breakfast and my wife had the kilted eggs. All I have to say is..... Fantastic fantastic fantastic!!! This is for the food, service and atmosphere. And it not very often I give 5 stars True praise indeed as I have been a chef over 30 years and this has been the best breakfast I have had in a long time. The ingredients were of top quality and very very tasty. Service was quick and first class considering how busy it was. Also in a great location just off the royal mile. Thank you for a great experience!!

Excellent food, very good atmosphere and perfect service.

The guys were super nice even if the food sometimes took a little longer (which is normal for a tourist restaurant)

It may be the best breakfast place in Edinburgh😍 of course we preferred vegan, we do not prefer the classic English breakfast and other products had pork, but the vegan English breakfast and vegan egg benedict were regular and very satisfying, we loved it very much🫶🏻💕 we came early in the morning, it is a small place. But we sat down immediately🫶🏻

Sadly, the food was really bland and not worth the price. We had the vegetarian breakfast and it was tasteless. Nice place/atmosphere, but if you’re looking for a vegetarian breakfast, walk around the corner for much better options with much shorter queues.

Really good with gluten free. Gluten free bread made on site. Nice at atmosphere, cracking food and very friendly staff.

Omgosh… best breakfast I’ve had in ages!

Small cozy spot, absolute CHAMPS at eggs. These guys could cook an egg upside down with a candle. Sit down meal may be a fun ordeal with table service but you can also rely on them for a bap, breakfast sandwich, as a takeaway for a fantastic value.

Best Scottish breakfast and kind staff. Coffee was good.

Solid 5 stars. I had the hash; it was that of a high end restaurant! I watched all staff hustle to ensure all guests were fed. Thank you to each of you! If you’re thinking of going - just do it! Delicious!

Amazing breakfast! Delicious! Nicely priced!

Making a Reservation is quite easy, and alone dining is also not an issue. The food was very delicious (Had the full Scottish breakfast) and the staff very welcoming!

Sat me at the window for a two-person reservation and felt a bit high at the table but the food was magnificent. I've not had a kilted egg breakfast before but this meal really set my expectations!

Highly advisable to try the typical Scottish breakfast. The waiters are very nice, special mention to Diego, he tries to speak Spanish and is a super nice guy.

Staff is friendly and the food was so good. I don't usually like my eggs poached, but whatever they do here makes them taste so good. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Highly recommend

Nice enough but overpriced for what it is. I wouldn't be rushing back tbh.

Scottish Full breakfast very average. Bacon cold and dry, Potato tatties very dry and overcooked, only 1 egg for £17.50 would have expected 2 eggs and didn't like their home made baked beans. Coffee way to strong and the metal lunch boxes they served the breakfast in were form over function, normal plates work well hint hints. Service was excellent shame about the food! Wouldn't return.

A cozy, bustling breakfast spot with a shared table setup. The food is served in a distinctive way—delivered to you in a metal box!

Small place, friendly staff, good food. Would recommend

We ordered Egg Florentine and fresh orange juice. The food was good, while the atmosphere is not great for me.

Scottish breakfast is a good choice, there are two shops next to each other, they are both the same, while we were waiting in line, an employee from the side said that we could sit on the other side and let us in. The inside smells bad and is narrow, there are definitely more reasonable places in terms of price, but it is a place that makes you feel good and The employees are lovely, we were satisfied

Good local restaurant serving brunch, located just off a main tourist thoroughfare. Clean restaurant, average service, casual atmosphere. The food was served hot. And with average presentation. The taste, quality and portion size were average. Most of the dishes were served in a rectangular metal tray. They have two adjacent restaurant, The Edinburg Larder and Little Larder. Everything is the same except the Little Larder does not have restrooms so you have to go next door. Overall, an average meal. --Tourist from the U.S.A.

Service is amazing! Food is delicious

I ordered the classic Scottish breakfast and waffles. The queue was a bit long. If you want to try it, you can try it.

Extraordinary homemade scones! Warm and very soft. A delight.

High quality cafe , tucked away off the main drag . Excellent food , can't go wrong. Not cheap but reasonable value.

There was always a line so I did an open run. You can eat vegan haggis and black pudding. The black pudding had a bit of strong spice, Other than that, everything was just delicious. The store interior and staff are lively. There was always queue. Tried veggie breakfast. Except vegan black pudding (flavor was strong for me), I loved and enjoyed all food. The staff and the atmosphere were so lively.

Coffee took over 20 mins to come out, definitely wasn’t worth waiting for. Service was rushed and rude, told we had 3 minutes to pay before the next group would be seated.

Great breakfast. Lots of sweet or savory choices. Fresh products. Very friendly staff. We went back several times 😊 Remember to book because it is always full.

Delightful little place. Full breakfast and Florentine were wonderful!

There was a wait, but it didn't take long to get in line The food is delicious, I recommend it to you

Haggis was great! Cool place, nice to take a break during s tourist day.

The Larder was definitely a solid breakfast stop during our time in Edinburgh. There was a line outside, but the wait was not too long at about 15 minutes. The menu is small, but all the items we tried were fresh and interesting. Each dish wasn't necessarily to my taste, but service was quick and vibes inside fun. The waffle was the highlight for sure.

The food was delicious and service attentive. One of the best tumeric lattes I have ever had.

athe food was ok, nice presentations, the service is not so friendly, long time to wait.

The food was exceptional! We really enjoyed the waffle, tumeric latte and eggs florentine! After our meal we enjoyed a nice cocktail as well to cap off the experience. Very nice place and amazing staff

Great place to have the traditional Scottish breakfast. Quite small but very nice, the staff is friendly and efficient. Better to book in advance as it seems to be in high demand (at least at breakfast time). Prices are according to quality.

I had such an amazing breakfast experience at this place in Edinburgh that I made sure to go back before leaving the city. The first day, I tried the traditional Scottish breakfast, which was hearty and flavorful, a perfect way to start the day. On my second visit, I went for a sweet breakfast, and it was equally delightful. The variety, quality, and attention to detail in the food were outstanding. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an exceptional breakfast in Edinburgh

While I did enjoy my eggs benedict, the portion itself was quite small compared to others I've received elsewhere. The food being served in tins is an absolute gimmick and actually makes the food feel cheap and novelty. The service fee is also unnecessary given the minimal interaction with a waiter. It was no issue removing the service charge and I opted for a lower amount instead.

Ate at the Little Larder right next to it. Smaller and cozy. Same food.

I was quite disappointed with the breakfast experience here. While they charge 4-5-star prices, the service and atmosphere don’t match up. The tables are packed too closely together, and there was almost no service to speak of, yet they still add an extra 12.5% service charge. I paid £24 for a full breakfast and a cup of tea, but in my opinion, it was worth no more than £15.

I had waffles and trout Benedict here! It's delicious :) Oh, it's so delicious. It tastes so good in the bathroom. Bendict is so good that I almost can't eat it. It's so good that I can't eat it anywhere else. ! Oh my gosh, I was shocked when I saw the play chat! What the hell!

The atmosphere of the store is nice and the food tastes so-so. The price is quite expensive. The basic Full Scottish costs about 30,000 won in Korean won.

Very nice place to eat, the menu has a lot of veggie and vegan options (there's a veggie haggis!). Great variety of breakfasts (serving all day) The food is really good, the room is just a bit noisy.

Amazing food, lovely staff. 7mins walk from Waverley Station. Will definitely be back!

Ate breakfast there twice. Great food. Accommodating to my friend’s food allergy. Love the vibe of the place.

One of the most beautiful breakfast restaurants in Edinburgh I ordered a delicious Scottish breakfast

So sad to have walked across town to come this cafe on the recommendation of a friend, to then leave because a member of staff was so incomprehensible rude, just because we sat in the wrong seat. Please consider your customers feelings when they walk into your cafe and don’t talk to them in a condescending and confrontational manner.

A bit expensive but delicious food !! Especially great if you want to try the traditional Scottish breakfast but are vegan or vegetarian. Lots of options.

Absolutely appalling customer service from one particular member of staff who spoke to our group with so much aggression and rudeness, we chose to leave the cafe before ordering anything; something that was hard to do given the food looked lovely and we were all incredibly hungry.

The presentation of the meal was really good, but the service was subpar. I love the concept of seeing in the kitchen and seeing the food prepared, but struggled with how the food was being handled by the kitchen staff. All used their hands on the food. One of the cooks was chopping up vegetables, took a break and placed his hands on his face and beard and then went back to chopping the food. So gross and not very hygienic.

Delicious food served very quickly!

Excellent (and plentiful) Scottish breakfast. It's not cheap but it's definitely worth it!

Rather disappointed by the food and service, given the other comments and the time spent queuing. The food is ok but not amazing and the place was overcrowded.

Brilliant Scottish Breakfast and Waffles. What food wishes it could always be.

Fantastic breakfast but be prepared to queue

had my breakfast at this cafe! it was really close to my dorm! They only take card but i lost my card so i got to pay in cash but it has to be an exact amount! Also, service tax is optional! You wanna pay or not, it’s up to you! Loveeee this mushroom on toast! Would def come back here again! Don’t come after 10.30AM if u don’t wanna line up for breakfast 😂

Top brunch off the royal mile. Portions are very generous. The food & service is great and the atmosphere relaxed.

It's a very popular restaurant. It was full soon after we were seated and we had to queue up. We ordered quickly, but after waiting for half an hour, we found that the customers behind us were taking our orders one after another, so we asked the waiter for us. We had to serve the already prepared meals first. At this time, the waiter realized that we had not ordered our meal. However, the waiter immediately apologized and reordered the meal and then served it quickly. Although it had already been an hour before we had the brunch plate, the store clerk Some meals are served and discounts are given. As for the meal, the scones are great. I really like the British butter. It is relatively solid and very fragrant. It goes great with the heated scones! Black putting and Haggis are indispensable for traditional Edinburgh brunch. I dare to eat both of them, but I don't like them very much. Haggis's is made from sheep mixed with some things, which has a bit of sheep flavor. Haggis is soft pig blood cake because it is mixed with some. It's offal, so it tastes soft.

Highly recommend the ‘hash’: roasted potato, wilted spinach and good smoked salmon on a bed of romesco sauce. Fab!

The food was amazing, we both got the waffles and were pleasantly surprised. The flavours had the perfect balance not being too sweet. Staff also were very friendly and attentive.

Excellent food and vibe, great drinks options 👌🏻

had a short wait outside but they seated us quickly. service was quick and we didn't have to wait long for the food. the food was delicious and really good quality. plenty of it as well and kept us full all afternoon. would definitely recommend

It worth the try. Other than the breakfast we ordered, my favorite was the turmeric latte 😍❤️.

Very good breakfast with excellent options.

The staff seem to be more interested in getting people inside that queue outside than providing service to the actual customers in the restaurant. The food is nice but honestly isn’t worth the wait. The staff seem pretty disinterested and aren’t the most attentive. Go somewhere else. Don’t bother waiting outside if there’s a long waiting time.

Absolutely amazing. The food and service were exceptional. Our server, Diego, was kind and thoughtful. Would absolutely recommend.

Probably the best breakfast spot in the city, every ingredient was fresh and cooked perfectly - attentive professional and friendly service, Poached eggs were perfect and the Cumberland sausages were superior #1 GRADE A product. Can't wait to go back.

We chose this place quite randomly and had the best dining experience in Edinburgh. there was a short queue in the cafe, but it was worth waiting a little. Polite waiters, we were quickly brought our order and it was the best we tasted

Best breakfast in Edinburgh. Especially the veggie one

Great food, a lot of confusion, but absolutely worth it. The boys work hard to satisfy all requests
