La comida era excelente y el personal muy amable. Volveremos y lo recomendaría encarecidamente. Incluso después de un almuerzo lleno podría ayudar pero conseguir algunos pasteles para llevar.

Tuvimos un fabuloso almuerzo aquí en vísperas de Escocia contra Gales. Gente encantadora, comida encantadora. Tomé la hamburguesa halloumi y mi esposa el pollo griego. Precedido por un Cortado y un Flat White, fue un desayuno muy agradable tarde. Definitivamente volveríamos de nuevo si en la ciudad...

Fui a ver si tenían sopa del menú. Preguntado el joven detrás del mostrador, ella no estaba segura de cuál era la sopa del día. Preguntó a otro miembro del personal que salió y dijo que era sopa de garbanzos. No es lo mío, pero no lo vendió muy bien. Si él está más a gusto con los garbanzos, yo me he quedado a probarlo. He tenido alguna cosa salada de pastelería por aquí antes, era sobreprecio y sin sabor. Así que eso es lo que hice con la Dama y el Oso Positivos. Bonito y luminoso por dentro.

Mi hermana volvió al café mientras esperábamos, uno de nosotros en silla de ruedas, y volvió para decirnos que era accesible con un baño para discapacitados, así que salimos del Queens Hall a la vuelta de la esquina. Después de un mal servicio, mi marido necesitaba vaciar su bolsa de orina en el baño sólo para que le dijeran que estaba fuera de servicio. ¡Pánico! Volvió a QH, que afortunadamente seguía abierto. No para gente como nosotros.

Pagó £ 4. 20 para un blanco plano. Estaba trabajando silenciosamente en mi laptop cuando me dijeron que tenía que mudarme a un rincón para laptops. Esto fue 5 minutos después de mi café (frío) llegó. Me fui. ¿Por qué está bien estar chateando pero no trabajando? Entiendo perfectamente los límites de tiempo en las mesas, pero esto es grosero. Soy local y no volveré.

Met a family member for a coffee and a chat. After paying was surprised to see I'd charged for a 'tip', a 'service charge' whatever., but I'd paid before receiving what if ordered. Good customer service should be 2nd nature and not because the staff member has been paid extra to do so, up front! If the customer thinks it's been a good experience & feels the staff member deserves a tip then that would be at the customers discretion. I get it, it's not a well paid job so tips help a lot. However if the staff you have are the type you really want to be the face of your brand then they should make every customer feel special, Happy customers breed happy reviews online, to friends, workmates, tourists etc and help you grow your business with positivity. The coffee and everything else about the visit was great so don't take above as a criticism, it's merely an opinion. Money is tight all round so paying extra without prior knowledge can have a knock-on effect.

I came here for a catch-up with a friend who was up in Edinburgh for a visit - I suggested Lady and the Bear because it is such a great location, has a lovely view of the meadows, and is near where I live. The coffee we ordered was lovely as always - just the right temperature and very sweet latte art, the barista was charming and the pastries were tasty. We had these Cypriot pastry swirl things with what I think was cardamon and Nutella - they were lovely and not like anything I've ever had before. I would 100% recommend this place for catching up with friends over coffee and a snack, the brunch ordered by the table next to us looked lovely too - must try next time.

Visited this place with a friend last week for hot drinks and a cake. I ordered a drink with hot milk and asked for it to be extra hot. My friend had tea. Both or our drinks were tepid, and asked to have them changed. I went for a different drink, as I felt the same one would be equally as cold. My friend changed her tea for another tea, and that was still tepid. When we mentioned this to the server again, she went off to get the manager/owner. When he came out and towered over our table, he was not happy, and stated that never before had he had so many complaints from one table. I asked how hot he boiled his water and he said 85deg. I mentioned that this wasn’t hot enough, and he replied, ‘I’m the expert, not you!’. I used to train people how to make drinks when I worked in Starbucks. He also told us that we were not welcome in the cafe ever again, and to not come back. We were so taken aback. We told him we’d like a refund, and he did give us one, but when my friend told him to keep the tip for the server, he told her that he is in charge of his staff. Eh? He also argued that my first drink was not cold, and that he tested it. Bizarre. The cafe looks so nice from the outside. It could be a lovely place, if it wasn’t for a couple of things. It’s very expensive and ran by a very aggressive person. Not what we expected.

This is a very nice looking place and handy for the Meadows area. The young woman on the counter was friendly, pleasant and helpful throughout. There is an tempting display of savoury and sweet pastries and snacks and a comprehensive drinks menu. There appears to be a separate area for those wishing to use a laptop, which is considerate and well used; probably because it is very close to the University. I was there to meet a friend. We ordered two hot drinks and a pastry and were served promptly. My friend had asked to have her drink extra hot, but it was tepid. I had tea, which was also tepid (it happens). Both were changed buy the server without question. My second tea was, however also tepid. The server said that she'd used the hot water from the machine, so it should have been boiling and went to fetch the manager. I explained to the manager and he said that the tea was at the correct temperature of 85 degrees. I had no way to measure the tmeperature, but as a tea drinker, I was clear it was not hot. The manager responded by saying that all the other customers seemed happy and the only two complaints had come from our table. There followed further details from him on the correct temperature of tea-water. At this point I did say that I found his implication offensive and that we would like to receive a refund and leave. We did receive a refund ("as a gesture of good will" - which it didn't feel like) and although I offered that the server keep the tip as she had been nothing but courteous, the manager responded with "Don't tell me how to manage my staff." I have left out some details for the sake of brevity, but we will definitely not be back. We went to Summerhall next door and had a steaming hot cup of tea.

We were 5 of us, 2 ordered The God Father, the presentation was average, covered in sea of olive oil. Too much sauce & potato was not crispy, just greasy. 1 ordered pancakes with Nutella & strawberries, Nutella was not spread, it was just dumped in the middle like ice cream. Another ordered pancakes with prosciutto, maple syrup and banana. Both pancakes had too much sugar all over. Absolutely overpriced. Almost £20 per head for brunch. I question the quality of everything else. They did not have smoothies available, toilet drainage was almost blocked. I would not go back. However, the service was good, staff were friendly. If you want to go there for a coffee & a hot chocolate, go ahead, they were decent.

lovely coffee with perfect mugs - big chunky blue ceramic ones - with great foam, great creamy texture, great service from lovely staff, and really lovely interior design (very Greek and light and summery). A little pricey but honestly worth it for the vibes. 🐻☕️

I do not recommend this place.They were so awkward and unfriendly. I went there for a ice coffee to take away, the price on the menu was a little more than £4, less than £4.50 as far as I could remember(not accurate). I thought OK this is the centre of the city so a bit pricey but it’s understandable… I did not expect their service is really not nice. After I tapped my card(just common UK debit card) and paid, the guy who was serving the coffee complained that I did not pay tips.I literally saw the machine was showing tips/service fee 50p added, so I said, oh, tips included but they got so defensive and said no no it was not because you tapped your card too quickly. I felt really confused but I did not argue about it, It’s a small thing,I did not want it to ruin my day. Later on I saw my bank statement and they literally charged £4.95 for that small take away ice coffee-so that 50p tips were obviously added and paid but they were giving me attitude?!Not even mentioning their coffee was nothing too special.This review is not only about their price, it is more about their service and attitude.Not worth it.

What a friendly cafe with excellent food and service. We came here for the second time recently with friends and despite us bringing 3 noisy babies the staff couldn’t have been better to us, making sure we were well looked after and right at home. Lovely food, my family enjoyed the omelette and Greek pork pastry. Delicious and would highly recommend to those with (and without) children!

We were here to get 1 hot chocolate on the 2nd January. Everything was nice and the atmosphere was great and staff were friendly. But it took 10 minutes and we were first in line. Someone was taking orders but no one was actually doing anything apart from cleaning tables. The hot chocolate was topped with cream and freeze dried strawberries and was actually incredible at the top, but the coffee was lukewarm. This place just feels a few steps away from being amazing and I hope the owners sort it out.

Sobreprecio y no auténtico en absoluto. Las comidas no eran auténticas y faltaban los acompañamientos tradicionales que debían acompañarlas. Las porciones eran pequeñas, la comida era demasiado cara y la calidad no coincidía con el costo. Estafado al final. Ahorra tu dinero y no te vayas.
