Staff are so lovely and pleasant but it is just so expensive! I would struggle to afford such steep prices when I could go elsewhere and pay less for same quality . It’s a shame .

Sadly it wasn’t an ideal place for lunch ! The staff although very polite were not very attentive when we came in for a table or when we had sat waiting for our order to be taken. Had to go to small counter and wait until asked if they could help, even though we were sat waiting already. Then table we sat at firstly had mould around the edges at windows and bugs galore so we moved to another place that wasn’t cleaned from previous customers so we had to clean ourselves. Once our order placed and table cleaned the food and drinks came quickly but slightly concerned under cooked meat on the hot rolls and VERY over priced for what we ordered ! Also, forgot to add plenty odd looking bugs landing on our plates and tables etc when sat down which when inside shouldn’t be the case ! Safe to say we wouldn’t return and sadly wouldn’t recommend to anyone unless issued addressed ….

Service really poor. Took a seat and no one came to serve us. Eventually went up and was told I had to order at a side counter. Coffee came with no sugar. Upon asking for it I was directed to a shelve to collect my own. Very off hand approach. Clearly the waiter wasn't going to bring it. Essentially no service at all, but coffee very expensive. I live locally but won't be back.

This coffee shop is lovely and with lovely surroundings. However I think the coffee etc is the most expensive in the whole of Edinburgh. Until prices are sorted out, will not be returning.

Soooo expensive! Popped in for a quick toastie and a coffee for two. £31.90!!! Ok, we shared a flapjack too, but how on earth does it come to this cost. Interesting how the prices are not listed for coffees as it would have scared me off to Greggs!

This is a cosy cafe with friendly staff which is why I am giving this a poor as opposed to terrible review status. A panini (with pesto, tomato and mozzarella) served with salad and crisps was £9 and it was nothing to write home about. I bought a tea and raw choc nut balls which brought the total up to £15 which I felt very expensive.

Be warned! You don't get a bit of tablet with your coffee any more. £12 for two coffees and a small bit of cake seemed excessive.

We popped in for a late lunch and coffee. It's such a lovely, cosey cafe and bonus being dog friendly too! The menu was mostly soup and sandwich/panini/ciabatta with pastries and cakes. Caters for vegan too. We all had ciabattas, coffees, frappucinos and some cake. It's pricey but where isn't with rising costs. It was tasty food, good coffee, good service and I'd rather support a smaller business like this. Will definitely be back!

This little neighborhood café is a real delight! Very professional and humorous service in a place which is truly nicely designed with natural furniture. The food is freshly made, coffee ans other drinks taste superb and the rates are fair. It is south of the touristy center of Edinburgh, but we were staying around the corner, so for us it was really convenient. The surrounding area is quiet and green, we really enjoyed our little pause here. Will be back for sure!! Both thumbs up!

I went in for what I was hoping would be a fairly swift lunchtime panini and a cup of tea. Having placed my order, paid and sat down, I was a little surprised to be still waiting for my order over 20 minutes later. I enquired at the counter and it became clear that they had completely forgotten my order! Not too great. I think they need to sharpen up their act particularly as it is relatively expensive compared with other Morningside cafes.

For what they offer, I believe many other places can provide a range of delicious foods and drinks for a lower price, whereas the hygiene of this cafe is up to standard as well as this cafe being quite aesthetically pleasing to visit if out and about. However, I wouldn't go to this specific cafe again due to other reviews I have seen on this site as well as those I viewed on multiple other platforms.

I think it’s absolutely disgusting that one person can make a video about a negative experience and all their followers jump on the bandwagon and decide that they need to leave a negative review. This is somebodies business, this is their livelihood, this business pays their bills. This wannabe influencer clearly sat nursing a pot of tea for longer than necessary and didn’t like being asked to purchase another drink if they wished to stay. It’s common courtesy that you don’t take up a table for a prolonged period of time if you’re not eating/drinking, however she’s clearly been raised to have zero manners or respect. Having visited this cafe multiple times I can hand on heart say that I have never had a bad experience here. The staff have always been lovely and polite and the coffee is excellent. I have visited with friends and family on separate occasions and each visit the staff have been wonderful. Please don’t look at the reviews and let them put you off visiting.

Hay en una sala de juegos a través de la parte posterior de la tienda. Algunos de los muebles son eclécticos para poner ligeramente.

Chose this cafe because it had a play area. It was so disappointing- awkward back room, filthy floor mats and a handful of tatty dirty toys.

Other members of my family have been happily bringing my disabled father here for several years, but this was my first visit with him. Knowing he would like both ice-cream and a hot chocolate, I was disappointed his 1st two choices of the latter - off quite a list - were unavailable; also that the only flavour of ice-cream was plain vanilla. When my vegan nephew asked if there was something suitable for him, apart from black / herbal tea, there did not appear to be anything. However, my sister then noticed there were 'fruit bars', which the waitress was unaware would have been suitable. I realise that we were a relatively challenging clientele but have been left feeling disappointed.

Whilst out and about we spotted this place, and figured we'd grab some breakfast. It was a bit of a weird experience, really. My partner's scrambled eggs on toast were "okay" and my pancakes were lukewarm and plain (and tiny!), but tasted a bit of something I couldn't put my finger on, like they'd been cooked straight after something else? Then I spotted that the pancakes were pre-made, and came from a big plastic bag underneath the counter by the bin... The weird thing about Leaf & Bean though, was that about halfway through our food, a door at the back opened, and it was chock full of babies rolling about on the floor, with the odd parent going in and out. It got pretty noisy, but babies are noisy, so that's no big deal. Then, some bloke (I presume must have been a member of staff or the owner?) started going round the café grabbing tables and chairs, and putting them into the back room - presumably for more seating space once the parents left with their kids. Now, it's not like the café was lacking in space, but it just made the place look really sparse, and there weren't enough chairs for the tables.What I really didn't like was that he came to our table - when my partner was still halfway through her meal - and took one of the tables and two chairs away, and into the back room. Didn't wait until we'd finished and left, but halfway through eating. There was a mother with her child sitting at a table for one, and he then (without asking, or even acknowledging her presence) took the extra chairs from that table too, into the back room.The entire thing was really odd, so we paid (was far too expensive for what we got), mentioned it to the staff as not being a pleasant thing to do, and left.Never to return. The obliviousness of some people in the service industry astounds me.

This place is usually fine. Not on my last visit though. Arrived about 4.20, to be fair, this is towards the end of the day at 5pm. Could accept that grills were off, just, so no chicken club. Ordered two coffees and a juice. Staff more interested in reading their phones and cleaning down rather than making coffee so we left. Having worked years ago in the catering trade we would not have been allowed to do main clean down until business had closed to allow full service during opening hours. Very different than cleaning tables/basic kitchen clean. Poor

Very slow service. All we asked for was a large coffee and an ice cream. We got a small coffee after about 15 minutes and an ice cream a long time after that. Staff ignored me when I asked the small/large coffee issue and when I asked if we could have the ice cream now rather than later. None of this really matters of course, it was only a coffee, but it would be nice if staff could just be a bit more pleasant or responsive. All in all, slow and surly sums it up. I won't be back.

Have seen good comment about the place and certainly the coffee was very good and up to my snobby standard. The breakfast sadly let it down. Both of our sets of poached eggs were overcooked. I mean the texture of a boiled egg on the inside. As we were hungry and in a rush I did not send them back. To be fair when paying I was asked if I enjoyed my food and I did feed this back and the staff were very friendly and said we should have let them know and would have sorted, so no complaint on the response to feedback. My issue is that whoever plated them up knew they where overcooked, it was very obvious, so in my view I shouldn't have been put in the position in the first place.

Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Morningside and I will definately pop in past here again soon.

I visited with my family on a busy Saturday afternoon, however, the service was prompt and our order arrived quickly and with a smile. The coffee is the best I've had in Morningside and my daughter swears by the carrot cake. I would definitely recommend. Thankyou.

We enjoyed a relaxed late breakfast here recently. Very pleasant young staff and plenty alternatives for a Sunday brunch. Proper leaf tea was a bonus. Will return!

It's a small cosy place with very friendly young staff. Perfect coffee. A refreshing alternative to the big coffee shop chains. If you feel like a no-fuss snack, like a scrambled egg on toast or a bacon roll, washed down with a nice latte, then this is unbeatable. They like kids, and they sell a bit of jewellry on the side.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, coffee just perfect and my mum just adored her delicious cake. I had breakfast and it was yummy. Loved the care of the staff who were looking after us. Definitely going back again. Highly recommended, well done guys, keep up the great job.

Amazing little cafe, which serves great coffee, classic or with different flavors. No matter what you decide on it is delicious and made with love. The cakes as well as the sandwiches/paninies are lovely and there is a great choice. The staff is friendly and welcoming, always making guests feel comfortable, even when it is busy. The atmosphere is bright and homely, not to much and not to little, just perfect. The price is very reasonable and fair. There is really nothing negative to say about Leaf&Bean! Defiantly one of my favorite coffee places in Edinburgh.

I was there this afternoon having a coffee. The coffee was good and cheap. The place was children friendly and with facilities to work. The menu was good.The bad points:My table was sticky, the previous customer dropped water or some liquid. The waitress came, saw that there were children books on my table, picked them up and apologised. But she did not clean or wiped down the table. At this point, I noticed that no one was wiping down tables after customer took a leave. Moreover, there was a few dirty high chairs. There were only three waitresses, no one was doing nothing, everyone was busy but they were not doing what they did not like, like cleaning. The toilet was not perfectly cleaned but if pay attention, it stinks slightly.On average, it was a good place but some improvement paying attention to the basics was needed.

Tardis-like, this café is far more impressive on the inside than it appears from the outside. It stretches quite a way back over two bright, airy rooms. Décor is plain but pleasant - no hipstery nonsense - more church hall luxe.There is a range of sandwiches and baked potatoes available, as well as an all-day breakfast and a large selection of teas, coffees and accompanying cakes.We had a breakfast and a panini, and shared a cake. All were tasty, especially the very smoky bacon, and served with a smile.A little more attention to detail in the presentation of food and cakes, and cafetières that didn't let grounds escape would make this place 5 stars. A nice addition to the café scene in the area, and we'll visit again.

Popped in for a coffee with my wife. The service and atmosphere was amazing. The two girls serving were a delight and their names are Julia and Stella. Plus the coffee was excellent.

Gibt sich als Restaurant. Wir saßen draußen mit anderen Gästen. Der Tisch klebte stellenweise noch etwas. Das hätte uns zu denken geben müssen. Nachdem sich nach 10 Minuten niemand vom Service blicken ließ, ging ich rein an die Theke. Ja, bestellen kann man hier oder online vom Tisch aus mit QR-code. Steht nirgends. Also am Tresen bestellt. Es dauerte 50 Minuten für "fast food". Alles etwas klebrig, keiner hat gefragt, ob man noch etwas trinken möchte. Fish u Chips waren naja, Burger war ok. Insgesamt so gar nicht unser Ding.
