Hata in Edinburgh, City of

Found by happenstance! I am in love with this beautiful little cafe!! Stellar service, great coffees and the baking🥳 I will think of the babka forever.🫠🫠🫠

Absolutely loved this place. The sweet potato and blood orange soup is the best soup I've had in a very long time. Had this with a toasted sandwich with cheese and Bombay potato - thought this was an unusual combination but it was absolutely delicious. Didn't have dessert although the array of cakes looked amazing. I will definitely go back.

Super cute cafe, close to the botanical gardens. The staff is super friendly, the Beetroot Hot Chocolate was amazing and the sandwich very good. All vegan choices are clearly labeled. Unfortunately I was too full for cake, because the cakes (vegan options available) and bakery looked amazing!

Really simple menu and everything is well made. I’ve mainly had the porridge and would recommend going for the daily specials as I’m yet to be disappointed by them. Probably the best cup of coffee I’ve had in Edinburgh and the staff are always very good. Well worth a visit

Slank in här för frukost och gissa om vi blev positivt överraskade. Mysig miljö, trevlig personal och mycket gott att äta. För er som gillar gröt, så har ni kommit till paradiset. Rekommenderas varmt.

Full review and more photos on Insta @coffeescakesandcafes With DELICIOUS treats baked by a local supplier I'm happy to support small businesses!! ☕🥐❤️ Other than the deliciousness I was also impressed by the atmosphere of this unassuming cafe. It was really welcoming and with seats both on the main level and in the basement it's larger than you'd expect. The cheery staff only added to the experience. Definitely a wee place to return to! Next time I'm eager to try out their "special" porridges. I saw one being prepared and was maybe a bit envious! Love love love this place! Dog friendly too!

What a wonderful way to start a Sunday ❤️ Delicious creamy porridge with cinnamon stewed apple, seeds and granola; huge bowl, but so, so delicious. Truly tasty peanut butter oat pot was much appreciated by one of our group today. Awesome coffee, happy to make mine extra hot which definitely sparks joy. Great mellow playlist; just what Sundays are made for.

This was literally the best porridge I have ever had. I am still dreaming about it weeks later! The staff was incredibly friendly and the overall atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The perfect spot to meet friends for breakfast, have a coffee date or cozy up with a book.

This cafe came highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint. Agata and Andy are super friendly and the cafe has a nice welcoming, local feel. I visited several times during my stay in Edinburgh and the porridge, pastries, cakes (made with love) and coffee were awesome. Highly recommended 🙌🏻

Whilst staying in Edinburgh in early november, we visited this cafe several times for breakfast. They served the most amazing oat birchers, deliciously combined with peanut butter, chocolate fruit and nut. Gorgeous! Service great, nice cosy decor. Several choices of cake on offer, great to have the gluten and dairy free options! Thank you.

4 of us had breakfast here on 2 mornings this weekend. The menu is extensive and creative. The dishes we had were delicious and the coffee is excellent. Tea was served with spices that were lovely and the artisan baking was beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. The porridge options were really lovely...I'd happily eat there every day! Thanks 😋

Best porridge I've ever had: with hazelnuts, blueberry compute, strawberries and bananas. Coffee great too. Lovely staff and friendly vibe. Brilliant

Walking around the neighborhood we found this GEM!!! First of all this is a cozy place , filled with good vibes from the staff and people having a cup of coffee of tea. The menu is not big… but what for !? The options they have are all amazing !!! Porridge “speciality of the day” was awesome , well prepared, fresh and amazing flavors . Then the overnight oat … wow as well Warm Ham and cheese croissant And finally two not one tow Chai Lates . Coffees and teas so well prepared , quality of the coffee is really good . Staff is really friendly and even tho they are sooo busy they are always smiling !!! Pastries , cakes and other stuff ! A must for take away or sit in!

Delicious coffee and the cakes are always amazing! I live nearby and it’s my go-to treat, really like that the cakes are always changing but reliably delicious. Not cheap but great quality.

Delicious breakfast, both salty and sweet way, great service and excellent coffee. Definitely recommended

The service was excellent, very helpful and nice. Foods and drinks were delicious. Cafe decor very cozy. Nothing more, nothing less!

The Wee Stoater coffee from Unorthodox Roasters is the best in the city. They use Oatly barista which is a huge plus! The porridge is well thought through and prepared with such attention to detail. Lovely baristas, so friendly.

Had a lovely few hours spent in hata whilst doing some work. Sampled the porridge which was some of the best I’ve had and an excellent fresh ciabatta sandwich. Service was 10/10 and the fact it is dog friendly was an extra bonus. Will be...

An amazing local and independent cafe run by the most friendly bunch of staff. Well known for there “Go Awesome” porridge’s but it’s the Granola that’s always a highlight for me. Don’t forget to get a slice of the honey cake. Outstanding!

The best place in Edinburgh! staff are so friendly and nice! Always open for the chat and the owners are great! Best porridge i had in my life!!!

Great coffee, cakes and porridge. Dog friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to go. Not too much seating inside but everything tastes just as good with takeaway.

Will always make a point of stopping by to grab a coffee and chat with the HATA team. The definition of a local indie! Welcoming staff, fantastic food options, Oreo cheesecake slice is the bomb! Sellers of Unorthodox coffee, says all you need to know!...

HATA opened during lockdown and has become part of our weekend (and weekday!) routine. The porridge is absolutely amazing - made with such care and the toppings are excellent. The variety of cakes will mean you spend about 10 minutes trying to choose every time,...

Delicious coffee, fresh cakes and sandwiches! Amazing owners, funny and really friendly - worth a stop, never disappoints!

Hata is one of the few good things to happen during lockdown and has become part of our weekend routine. Amazing porridge, cakes, sandwiches and coffee and is owned by the loveliest people. Definitely recommend.

Much needed in the area, love this place after just a few visits. For those of us who don’t drink coffee it’s hard to find a good chai latte. This one is exceptional. Not to mention the sweet potato brownie. Recently had one of the...

A really fantastic cup of coffee, and the sandwiches are delicious too, the addition of a bit of salad is a very nice touch!

Healthy, colourful and just so great! I would recommend this to all of my friends and I will be back soon!

Amazing selection of fresh cakes - definitely worth queueing for! Coffee is excellent. Sandwiches and soup are fab too. Can’t wait to try the porridge. The staff are super friendly and our son loves the “cake lady”!

Every time I go to Hata I am greeted with the smiliest person asking me how I am while serving me the most fabulous fresh coffee. The peanut butter choco brownie is delightful and today I tried the lemon poppyseed bundt cake and it did...

Lovely coffee and amazing cakes - I think my favourite (so far) is the zucchini and orange loaf. Always friendly and welcoming. What more can I say?!

Literally the best place to grab a coffee and a bowl of creative porridge when you’ve finished a night shift or a weekend run. Always super smiley and up foe a chat!

Super friendly staff, always a smile behind the mask and delicious treats and sandwiches. Would highly recommend.

Really imaginative use of ingredients, lots of new things to try, great service and best of all everything tastes utterly delicious

Delicious coffee and the best vegan brownie I've ever had. I can't wait for friends to visit and show them one of my new favourite spots in Edinburgh ☺️

A lovely new treat as part of our weekend "exercise". The coffee (flat whites for us) is great. As for the cakes... we have tried miso brownies, espresso and pecan brownies, Nutella donuts, zucchini and orange cake, lemon and poppy seed Bundt cake and many...

I went on a whim and was thrilled by their cake selection and the friendliness of the staff - a brilliant addition to an already great area.
