Latitude Coffee Co in Edinburgh, City of

Very small café in Edinburgh centre, very few tables inside. We found a seat and we enjoyed the soup and sandwich. The staff is quite friendly, the coffee is good, the espresso a bit too long. Good place to eat something at a reasonable price.

Lovely little gem for coffee and snacks. We had sandwiches, coffees and cakes. All yummy and a bargain! Would recommend for a quick pit stop.

Noticed this cute wee café on Rose Street. Decided to pop in and was welcomed by a lovely barista called Lucy. Her warm welcome has made my day.

SUCH a slay! for real dawg. Coffee and a sandwich was five pounds and as a broke student on a holiday it was exactly what i needed. MAJOR PLUS is that alternative milks and syrups are FREE as they should be because again not my fault i can’t digest milk and i shouldn’t have to pay 50p for a change of milk. Really nice vibes too and the service was great. would recommend

Great coffee, fantastic sandwich and brilliant value. not the largest inside but well worth hunting it out! And independent 😃

Very friendly and attentive service on a wet Sunday afternoon. Portion size very generous for the cakes so great value for money too.

The staff were lovely and the place had great vibes. A good range of plant milks available also and toilet facilities.

Good service, staff were welcoming and friendly. Great coffee especially for £2.50. Would recommend that anyone passing by drop in.

Fantastic little Artisan Coffee house. Staff could not have been any nicer. The ambiance was perfect. The cakes were great and tasted really fresh. We would not hesitate to recommend this little gem of a place.

My wife, daughter and I were waiting to return to Edinburgh Airport, but wanted to have coffee and a snack before leaving the city centre. We discovered this small coffee shop by pure chance and it was totally AMAZING! We were welcomed by both memb ers of staff, quickly found a table and ordered soon after. The coffee was hot and delicious. The hot sandwiches were also fantastic (me and my daughter) while the lemon drizzle cake enjoyed by my wife was fabulous. There was also a fantastically relaxing atmosphere and, putting everything together, just goes to show that the independent coffee outlets are far better than those awful international chain stores.

How can such a small cafe have such lovely food? We were 4 adults and each toasted sandwich was delicious. I had the avocado and tomato salsa one, followed by a perfect lemon drizzle cake. My son had coffee and he is very fussy with it ( one of these aeropress Milennials) and he found the cafe because of its coffee and it certainly isn't terrible.

In Edinburgh for a mini break we found this cafe while looking for a light lunch in Rose St. Great coffee and a good toasted sandwich at a very reasonable price plus clean toilet. In fact we went back the next day for coffee and cake.

I went in to Latitude to escape the torrential rain and to say there was a homely feeling would be underplaying it. Incredibly lovely staff who brought over my coffee and cake very quickly. As you will read in most other reviews, the cake is to die for but it is also worth noting that, contrary to some people’s opinions, the coffee knocks your socks off too! Would absolutely go here again. Very cheap, very nice.

went here as it got great reviews. it doesn't seem very big and had only two tiny tables outside. the serving area was very well screened. the cakes looked amazing and the woman serving was very friendly. the cake and coffee came out in no time and the price was reasonable at 9 for a latte an americano and two massive slices of cake. the cakes were really good. top notch. however...the coffee was just shocking. tasted like it was made of stale grounds swept out a load of old tins they had had in the back for a few years. it was like drinking a cup of dust. I can honestly say it was the worst coffee I've had in a very long time. I'm giving a bad review for the coffee so that they sort themselves out because that cake was great and it needed better company. cake 5/5 coffee 0/5

Lovely coffees .Does lack comfort and space.Tables weren’t being cleaned in between each sitting customer against the notices of 1 metre distancing! The cup washing area is somewhat to be desired!!

Called in on Saturday for soup and a toastie, soup was full of flavour and piping hot, great choice of toasties, we chose the ham & Cheddar plus Brie and cranberry. Excellent value and super fast service.

Visité hoy a la hora del almuerzo. El servicio fue extremadamente lento, y dos clientes para llevar fueron atendidos por nosotros. Otra mesa que llegó después de nosotros, incluso tenía sandwiches tostados entregados antes de que tomáramos nuestro café. Tal vez como solo estábamos tomando café y era la hora del almuerzo, nuestra costumbre no fue valorada.Más tarde, los dos miembros del personal salieron juntos de la tienda dejando la puerta principal abierta de par en par (¡a mediados de diciembre en Edimburgo!)

We had a coffee stop here whilst in Edinburgh. Fantastic staff are lovely..... coffee and cake delicious. Very small place but a lovely homely snug feel. Ideal to stop drink and rest before continuing on your exploration! If you can grab a seat, pop in!

Great little cafe that we stopped at for coffee and cakes. The service was quick friendly and efficient. The coffee and cakes were smashing and it was good value for money. Card only payment when we were in. Will be back.

La pause idéale : Excellent cappuccino ! Excellent chocolat chaud ! Excellent cake marbré ! Excellent service !

Stopped by this little place earlier; very quiet but great quality food and fairly priced! Would definitely recommend.

We went shortly after Latitude opened and loved it then. It’s been upgraded with a new counter but the ethos and atmosphere is just as it was then - a friendly neighbourhood place in the middle of Rose Street. A simple menu of soup, sandwiches and cake. The cakes are amazing - I expected a slice of loaf cake but got a third! A great range of teas and coffees, friendly staff, what more could you want.

Lovely proper coffee in a quiet spot out of the rain!! Great service with a smile! Thoroughly enjoyed it

Just popped in to this establishment for a quick coffee when we were in town, from the moment we popped in we were given excellent service.Really nice coffee and hot chocolate and two large slices of cake .Extremely good value and will definitely call again

Buen café y muy buen trato ! Un buen ambiente , con buena luz . En definitiva un buen sitio para echar un buen rato . Acogedor

Excellent coffee. A select lunch menu of sandwiches and soup which was just what we wanted - sandwiches served either cold or hot (i.e. toasted) and they were delicious. This is an unpretentious coffee shop selling tasty food at an excellent price (£5 for hot drink and a sandwich), slightly off tho beaten track. Thoroughly recommend.

If you’re looking for somewhere chilled out and unfussy to grab a light bite, this is the place. Toasted sandwiches are v yummy, as is the soup.

Possibly the best coffee I’ve ever had, lovely people with good service and a good sandwich selection for a small place. Anyone complaining about the price clearly hasn’t speant much time in the capital. A class spot for a wee bit of lunch.

My boyfriend and I were starving when we saw this cozy and nice place. We came in just to grab a sandwich and a latte. We were not expecting too much as sandwiches are usually boring but we were surprised by the taste selection we found. So I took a brie and cranberry sandwich and my boyfriend a chicken and pesto one. They were absolutely yummy. Prices are really good, we spent a £10 for 2 lattes+sandwiches. The girl is a lovely and chatty person. We definitely reccomend this place! ❤️

Blindly chose this place for a light lunch while walking along Rose Street. Minimal seating but nice atmosphere if you get a table. There are a few tables outside as well.

Popped in earlier today for a quick coffee but ended up staying because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere - The coffee was great and had a lovely bite to eat while i was there.

Really cool place. Great coffee, and smashing toastie. The best thing about it though is the really friendly staff who also appears to have a smashing taste in music. Van Morrison's Madam George as we walked in!

Recommended small café in the heart of Edinburgh. Nice and warm place, some wooden tables inside. We stopped there for a snack, we enjoyed the toast and cappuccino, very good, and the good coconut loaf. Very friendly place and staff, fair prices. Cool place!!!

Kwamen hier bij toeval terecht. Zochten een plekje voor een simpele lunch. Heerlijk koffie gedronken en homemade soup en tosti's. Werkelijke super. Heel gezellige sfeer, vlotte bediening, niets op aan te merken. Wilden op onze laatste dag, een zondag hier nogmaals lunchen maar waren gesloten, helaas.

Beautiful lunch of home made soup and oat toast. Basic but high quality food. A good pot of tea - and the price was brilliant. Soup and a sandwich for £7.50 in the centre of Edinburgh! Tiny place but well set out.

Just went to this little café on rose street and everyone was so lovely! Had a piece of cake and a coffee and all the staff were so nice. There was a slight issue with the coffee machine but the owner addressed the issue immediately and there wasn’t much of a wait at all. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Would reccomend.

Latitude is a cosy little refuge from Edinburgh’s busiest shopping streets. Serving excellent coffee and delicious cakes, it’s a perfect place to gather your strength from the bustle of the city. The staff are a friendly young bunch, and very attentive. A true antidote to Starbucks and Costa!

Rose Street is full of worthwhile venues. It’s not full of decent coffee places. But we found one. Latitude is small, bright, fun and worth a stopover. The staff are young, fun and friendly. The WiFi works properly and it’s a great place to have a quick stop. I’ve heard the soup is good but we just stopped for coffee and a cake. Next time please add coffee and walnut to the selection. Otherwise perfect. Thanks.

Cute, small café with small range of options. They have alternative options for milk in your coffee/ hot chocolate which I appreciate a lot. The mozzarella, pesto, sun-dried tomato sandwich was simple but good. Not very crowded, so perfect to stay a while with your laptop or a book.

Best coffee I’ve had in a while. Pretty tasty cake too! Nice little relaxed spot for a quick recharge.

peng munch and 2 2 coffees still, top notch service, will be coming back around these ends, will recommend to friends.

We've been here a couple of times and it has become our first stop whenever we come to Edinburgh. They have the best coffee in Edinburgh served by a calm, patient, courteous and charming host. They also serve GF toasties which are really good. The Brie is sweet and fresh, and tasty tangy cranberry preserve makes them really moreish! It's tiny, with three tables outside which are perfect for sitting watching the world go by. There's not many places I would give 5stars to, but Latitude Coffee Co deserves every single one of them!

Waitress seemed somewhat... desultory, as if she’d rather be anywhere else but here doing this. Visited to have coffee and cake after a morning walking the streets of Edinburgh. Coffee was ordinary and pastry whilst pleasant enough, wasn’t enough to prompt me to write the sorts of glowing reviews of some of the others posted here. So, as I say, may have been an off day.

We called here whilst looking for somewhere for a light lunch. We saw the offer of soup and sandwich for £7 which was just right.

Really nice place to come in for a coffee and something to eat. Not too big and never too busy which makes it a great spot to get away from busy edinburgh. Recent revamp looks great and bathrooms always clean!

Excellent coffee served by friendly staff. Good value for money ... and the brie and cranberry toastie was excellent too! A welcome change from the high street brands!

Very nice café on one of the busiest street of Edinburgh, Rose street, parallel to Prince's street. Small place, but nice, warm and friendly. Friendly stuff guys. We stopped there just for a coffee and sweet. Good coffee, delicious elderberry and coconut pie. There are nice wooden tables inside, good place to eat a soup or something else. We sat outside, where there are 3 tables, enjoyed the nice and sunny day drinking a good coffee. What else? Strongly recommended!!!

On a cold dreary day, it was nice to walk in here and be greeted with a smile. Really nice drinks and lovely cake. Place has a good atmosphere and was a pleasure to sit in....

After spending ages looking for a seat in a coffee shop we stumbled across this place - a breath of fresh air amid a sea of surly staff in busy cafes in the area!

Popped in during shopping. Greeted immediately by person behind counter. Had a lovely coffee with hot milk and freshly made toastie......for £5......good value. Enjoyed my visit and will be back.

Most delicious Tomato Soup I have had in a long time. Lovely toasted sambo too. Relaxed and informal atmosphere with friendly staff. Will be back.

Edinburgh in November can be cold and unwelcoming, the wind tears through the streets and, after a brisk open-top bus ride (don't ask, I'm still looking for my nose and ears) we wanted somewhere to warm ourselves and have a good coffee. Latitude does both! It has no pretensions of grandeur, the misty window stopped us from seeing in, but we were greeted by the proprietor as soon as we walked through the door. The menu is basic and limited but of high quality; the coffee delicious, the cakes mouthwatering. It's a perfect antidote to the ridiculous over-the-top extravaganza of the Dome and, in November, THERE WERE NO CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS! It's just a pleasant, laid-back place to be.

What a lovely little coffee shop this is. Happened to stumble across it whilst looking for somewhere to have a light lunch. The food was lovely, homemade soup and cakes, and toasties were available.

Lovely toastie and pot of tea in a peaceful spot in the middle of town. Great prices, chilled music, good service. Will make it a regular stop.

What a fantastic place. Great coffee and the toastie was warm and just what was needed after a busy morning walking round edinburgh. The price was amazing - at just £5 for a coffee and a toastie, and the staff friendly as well. Recommended sitting in the front window seat for views along Rose street. Next time I’m in Edinburgh, will definitely come back!

Excellent food, excellent value and friendly service. Good for veggies too. Nice tasty soup and good sarnies.

Popped in for lunch with my daughter. I had sweet potato & butternut squash soup with a cheddar & caramel onion toastie and my daughter had tomato soup with a mozzarella, pesto & sundried tomato toastie.

Découverte de ce café au hasard d'une balade. La devanture et la déco passant presque inaperçues, quelle ne fut pas notre surprise en découvrant la carte. Simplicité et bon goût pour un 4 heures réussi.

Went in last Sunday. Just popped in for a coffee, but ended up get a soup and sandwich also. Was very pleased I did. Food was some of the best I've had in town for a cafe. The two lads that worked there were very polite and got the food to me nice and promptly. I will be back to have another delicious soup and latte for sure. What a good find

Myself & My Girlfriend stopped here for a coffee on a quiet Saturday and from the outside and the reviews I had read this was a hidden gem! However, the young lads inside weren't very customer friendly and were reluctant to take our order. When we did get our order, the Vanilla Latte I ordered was the worst I've tasted and the tea was a pot of water where the tea bag wasn't even put in. All in all this came to £6.75 and I would have rather settled for a McDonald's coffee for £1.50.

We called in for coffee on a Saturday afternoon, not sure what to expect. It was busy inside and all tables were occupied almost all the time we were in there.

Hearty simple warm soup in midst of busy shopping streets. Just what's needed on a bright but cold January day

Dropped by this little place today where me and my partner had a soup and sandwich each and some mince pies :-) The food was excellent, hearty homemade tomato soup and rustic toasties, which arrived promptly despite the shop being almost full. What was even better was the level and friendly manner of the service. Good customer service is unfortunately a rarity nowadays but it was refreshing to see the four young men who ran this shop despite how busy they were going out their way to be polite, welcoming and grateful. Will definitely come back here on my next visit to Edinburgh :-)

Dropped by....glad we did. Wanting a light bite...nothing fancy but good deal on a sandwich and soup for £7. Rustic but enjoyable and tasty, relaxed atmosphere will definitely drop by again if passing

Stopped here for a light lunch which this place specialises in.

Six of us visited Latitude Coffee yesterday. We were hopeful that it would be good given it was pretty busy and bustling inside. We managed to get a seat in the window, which was good as it gave a nice people watching spot on Rose street. Unfortunately that was the highlight.

Toasties straightforward but lovely. Variety of teas good and different San Pellegrino drinks enjoyed. Basic but clean. Two young lads that served us were helpful. Toilet basic but clean. Quirky in its apparent incomplete state

En arrivant à Edimbourg dans l'après-midi, nous cherchions un endroit où prendre un goûter à l'anglaise. Nous sommes arrivées un peu hasard dans ce salon de thé et nous n'avons pas été déçues : tea, carrot cake, blueberry cake... Une décoration "comme à la maison", un service agréable et des prix très raisonnables.

This is a little gem, so rare to find such an individual cafe with charming staff who make excellent coffee. Well run and the cookies are well worth the trip. Highly recommended

Ho preso un sandwich con mozzarella, pesto e pomodori secchi e devo dire che era buono. Inoltre costa poco.

Nice small coffee in the centre of Edinburgh, the pedestrian street parallel to Princess Street. Nice and warm, small and friendly place. Nice to sit and drink a coffee, sweet, a soup and sandwich. Small tables but we enjoyed the place. Friendly personnel. Recommended👍👍

Visited yesterday with hopes of a nice independent cafe. Ordered an Americano, and it was in readable bitter, strangely thin texture and no aroma, it gave me an intent headache. Decided to leave the coffee well alone and ordered a tea, also exceedingly week. When I pointed out the coffee tasted awful there was no effort to make amends, not even an apology.

This place looked quite cozy from outside and since it was drizzling we decided escape the weather and have our afternoon tea there. It is fairly priced and the home-made cakes and cookies are definitely worth a visit! Also, the staff was friendly and made an effort to make our visit there as comfortable as can be. It seemed to me that the place is not exactly finished yet - maybe they are still in the process of decorating and fixing everything but it has a very homey, living-room feeling inviting you to spend hours watching the people on the street passing by. We definitely enjoyed our time there.

Absolutely loved this place! Great service, lovely people and delicious food, would recommend to anyone waking by! Absolute 10/10

We were visiting Edinburgh wandering along in the rain and stopped here for lunch. Doesn't look much from the outside but great service and lovely soup and sandwich. Good choices we had pea and cannelloni bean with brie, bacon and caramelized onion for hubby and I had tomato and borliotti bean with humus and sun dried tomato. Great fresh warm toasties sandwich with lovely thick soup. & for the combo deal and staff were lovely.

Back on Rose Street, the pedestrian street behind the main high street, this coffee shop offers a nice place to recoup and rest a bit from the sights and sounds and crowds down on Princes Street. No one was in there when we first went in and so we were served quickly. Hot chocolates made the girls happy and my latte was fine. shortbread and muffins didn't hurt either.

Les lieu est très atypique et cosi, bien que sans prétention. On y déguste un bon café au calme. Le patron étant marié à une française, le personnel est souvent francophone .

Tried this place when friends were visiting as it looked promising. Simple, but pleasant interior on the inside. Staff spoke broken English, but were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately coffees were of poor quality and not up even up to the standards of the high street chains in the area, not to mention the many lovely cafes Edinburgh has to offer.

A very interesting spot needs a bit of work finished to tidy the place up as it oed serve a good selection of soup and sandwiches, but I think it is crying out for help a good stand, staff a bit to relaxed the place needs a good shake up, cause it could be a very nice place to call into.Tereza 23 says it all.

I was here in September 2015 and it was an overall great experience. I especially liked the design of the cafe and the peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Not sure why they got so many bad reviews since then, maybe staff changed. I had scones and hot chocolate and totally liked them!

We visited this little cafe in Rose Street for a quick lunch. They've a fine, compact selection of sandwiches, soups and cakes. I had a mozzarella and sundried tomato sandwich and my husband had a scone - both delicious (although the scone was a tad on the hot side). The coffee was excellent, too, and you can help yourself to water from carafes on the side. I'm guessing it's not been open long as they're still working on the decor but there are nice welcoming pictures on the wall, the toilet is clean & well-stocked and there are a few seats outside for fresh air freaks.

Café in bad state of repair. Very overbearing noisy staff enjoying the sound of their own voices which completely killed any atmosphere. Coffee ok and seemed to have a few cakes available but didn't try.

Please read my other reviews on places, I promise you I don't moan just for the sake of it !!!!

An unremarkable looking cafe from the outside, along the busy Rose Street, but a real gem inside. Nice decor and laid back atmosphere. Good service and friendly staff. I did not eat, but food looked good. Coffee was excellent, dark, strong and very tasty. Wi Fi as well.

Really excellent coffee, staff friendly. Didn't have food so can't comment. Decor a bit shabby but the coffee more than compensated for it, in fact some of the best coffee I've had.

Walking along Rose Street in search of lunch and came across this place. There was only one other customer.. probably a sign but we sat ourselves anyway. The Waitress did not come over or greet us so we read the menu off the blackboard and ordered at the till. We ordered 1 x soup and salad and 1 x soup and toasty at a rip off of £7 each. We were served a cold, small mug of soup which we had to take back up to the counter and it was re-heated in the microwave.......The salad was plain and basic and the toasty - mediocre. We ate it as we were starving and short on time and decided to grab a quick coffee before we left. Again, we had to go up to the till and order as had no check back on our food. We then waited and watched as other people who came in and ordered after us were served drinks and then the waitress started mopping the floors as if we were invisible. At this point we had already paid the whole bill but asked for a refund of the coffees and cookie (another £7!) and left. It wasn't busy so can't even make excuses for the bad service. The toilets are vile. Overpriced, poor quality and overall just of a really low standard.

I popped into this cafe which from outside appeared to be quaint and from the menu displayed on the street sounded quite nice. However, I paid £4 for a soup which came in a cardboard cup and was like dish water that had been watered down. I actually had to throw it away and buy another lunch elsewhere and I would never go back to this place it was awful. Strongly recommend to avoid!

I popped in here for a quick lunch and left feeling rather underwhelmed. The staff were nice enough but the cafe has

I come here all the time and it's my favourite coffee shop. Great atmosphere, very calming. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Loyalty is rewarded and I very much appreciate that! I will be a loyal customer for a long time!

Excellentes soupes accompagnées de sandwiches de qualité, idéal pour la pose de midi avec un service rapide et agréable.

We were disappointed at our last visit to Latitude. Whilst the service is sometimes haphazard, the food was always good, especially the soup. Unfortunately they have watered down the soup which instead of being full of nutrition is now diluted. Even asking for water leads to several reminders before delivery. Come on Latitude, pull your socks up and get back to that fantastic cuisine and service we fell in love with.

Watching a woman and young girl rushing about panicking is not my ideal way to spend my lunch. We visited this cafe simply because it was busy so assumed it might be good. We spent over £17 on 2 cups of soup and a small sandwich. It took the staff 15 minutes to come over and take our order. The lady didn't know what coke zero was, so we made-do with regular coke. The soup wasn't great and the sandwich tiny with around 20 grams of brie. £6.50 for soup and a sandwich in Edinburgh seems ok, but the quantity and quality were not acceptable.

Went in for a coffee. Sat for 15 minutes while others were served who came in after us. Eventually we just left.

Soup and a drink £6 great value, this was a real find and it was nice to find a place just out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the high street

I took my family there for a quick lunch, mainly because of the amazing position on Rose street. What a mistake. The place is falling apart. ..or is it stylish nowadays? I don't know. We had 3 sandwiches at 5 quid each. .. that turn out to be cold rolls barely stuffed... not even a salad garnish with them, just a cold roll on a plate. On top of that, we had to change our order 3 times because every time we asked for something, the waiter would come back 5 mins later saying "sorry we ran out of it". Another strange thing... there's no till, so the lady added up everything by hand... getting the total wrong by 10 quid. Oh my... keep an eye on it.

Wandering along Rose Street, it looked nice from the outside and we were ready for some lunch so thought we'd go here. It was pretty empty, only two tables with customers (out of about ten tables), so we picked a table to sit at and started reading the menu from a large blackboard on the wall. I was quite impressed that there was a choice of four soups, plus a variety of sandwiches. We chose one soup and an 'artisan' roll (the choice was between white and brioche), one soup and a sandwich (again a choice between a white or brioche roll), an Americano and an Earl Grey tea.

When I entered the place was empty and I was greeted warmly but the girl at the counter.

My fiancé and I dropped in for a quick lunch during the working day. The ceiling was a state and i'm not sure if it was safe for customers to be in. We were shouted at in a most aggressive manner by the blonde waitress when we asked her what the soup of the day was. When we were presented with our food it was two fairly small mugs of soup slammed down on the table in front of us. No accompanying bread or anything. When we went up to pay the bill we were charged £12 originally (for two soups!!!) my partner politely queried this as on the board is said soup was £4 each. She then started shouting at us again and the other waiter behind the counter. Eventually she conceded that she would charge us £8 but we were made to feel like it was our mistake even though it clearly states on the board £4 each. Easily the most rude member of staff I have ever encountered. We will never go back. Over priced, substandard and dreadful staff.

I did not sit in the cafe, I just grabbed a latte and a scone with butter to go.

Looks very nice from the outside, however when you go inside the covers on walls are falling off, the celing is stained and badly patched up!
