Mollys in Edinburgh, City of

Pretty good. Very friendly staff and a nice shop connected to it where you can get fresh fruit and veg. Plenty of options including vegan. Nice options for small children too.

My fiancée and I whilst visiting my mother in law to be/ mum came across this great find. We thought we’d stop for a coffee. Wasn’t that hungry but, I went for a scone as they were recommended. They tasted amazing. Not only that, I had to cut into three as I couldn’t fit it into my mouth. Would highly recommend. Coffee was great too. Next time we’re back to visit I will Be trying they’re freshly made pies. Jams are also homemade. We look forward to our return. Jon and Wendy

amazing de;isious i cant explane how good it was get in a car and get some right now u will regret it if u dont

In this time of crisis, Molly’s are delivering! I got a delivery to Colinton today of lovely fresh fruit and vegs, quiche, bread and their gorgeous scones! Just phone them, give them your card details and they’ll tell you when they can deliver!

We always stop here when we're in the area. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed and the staff are so friendly. Our toddler is welcomed in without us feeling any pressure to keep him quiet! The cake display is always so tempting and the scones are delicious! I also love being able to pick up a paper and groceries from the deli on our way out.

Coffee and scone were lovely but there was no heating on and it was extremely cold. Need to address heating issue. Absolutely Baltic!

Wonderful choice of delicious cakes; including gluten free. The only downside for Mum and me was it wasn’t warm enough. I wouldn’t arrange a girlie lunch here for that reason only.

I pop into Molly’s very frequently to pick up scones and cake to go for my close by family. However when sitting in they need to improve their service particularly at breakfast time on a Saturday. If a group of workmen come in after you then bad luck, you’ll be waiting over an hour for your breakfast!

We walked along the nearby Water of Leith on a beautiful Sunday morning and could'd nesist popping into Mollys. It's friendly, incredibly popular with locals and regular walkers and it also houses a deli with organic produce. You can even buy a paper to browse through while enjoying a coffee. The coffee and specialised tea was piping hot and the fruit scone devine so if you are in Juniper Green don't miss the opportunity to drop into Mollys. They do breakfasts and soups as well as scrumptious cakes.

After a long hike in the pentland hills found this sweet gem, cozy small place, but lot of nice stuff to choose from. Friendly smiling staff, and helpful giving suggestions for Places to see nearby etc. Can only recommend going there for a sit and have some of the nice cakes and coffee / tea.

Huge delicious scones to die for with homemade jam and proper butter. Soup - filling and so tasty. Lovely chatty staff and well priced for the quality received. I also bought fruit and deli goods, the owner explained that if I returned the packaging from the fruit it was reused at the fruit market - great service all round Ill be back for sure.

Found Mollys having come up off the Water of Leith Walk...and what a find! Great looking coffee shop and local village store - but the array of home baking which meets the eye is just amazing - what to choose??? The cheese and the fruit scones looked great -but we were advised of a number of different options including banana and walnut - which we just had to try. Oh my word - Fantastic!! We loved the way the butter is portioned on a tray with three pots of home made preserves to help yourself or to mix and match with a spoonful of each. The scones were warmed and with the combination of preserves were excellent - so good in fact that we took a carry out to go! Mollys is sadly not local to us but we will definitely go out of our way to return, not least when the apple and cinnamon scones are on offer. Staff lovely and friendly and the cafe area clean and well presented by owners who clearly take pride in this business. Adjoining shop great too with lots of lovely food on offer which was very tempting - but if we had not been walking and in the car we would have bought a few indulgent things from the attractive selection on offer. Highly recommended and we will be back!

This was a great surprise and what great good and team. We had a great lunch and the service was amazing too. The team that work there were friendly and attentive. We will be back

We visited recently for the first time and sampled the soup of the day and some of their amazing sweets. The soup was SUPERB (Ham and Lentil), as was the chocolate brownie, cherry and coconut slice, and Nutella cookies we took away to eat later. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, we felt right at home. We highly recommend this gem and hope to be back soon.

Molly's is a bit overcrowded with too many tables and chairs. The soup was very nice but the scones too big and crumble when opened. The bother to get to the back of the room to get jam and butter was another problem with moving in between tables and chairs whilst people were sitting in them and having to apologise to get past.

I have visited Molly’s a number of times now since moving to the area and I have been very impressed with the quality of food on offer. The selection of home-baking is fantastic and the scones are easily the best I have tasted. Great soups (made with a proper stock!) 👍and lovely toasties. Coffee is always spot on too. Everything is always fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. Always a warm welcome from the staff and they are really child friendly which is great. Keep up the hard work everyone it’s a pleasure to visit.

The scones here are to die for. Some are quite unusual and all are huge. Add to that the wonderful choice of traybakes and cakes and the lovely coffees and drinks and you have the recipe for a great cafe. Lunches looked good too but we didn't partake. Amazingly busy so might be an idea to pick up the phone and reserve a table. Staff are very nice and friendly. Love it!

We always enjoy the coffee and freshly baked scones and cakes at Molly's. We were looking for a cake for a family birthday and decided to ask Molly to bake it for us. It was absolutely delicious, so moist, beautifully decorated and really good value. Lots of seconds requested ! Usually find celebration cakes look amazing but are dry and tasteless, so we definitely would use Molly's again and recommend to anyone planning any sort of function.

This is a small cafe but despite that, there is quite a variety of cakes to select from. What we choose was very tasty and we were also delighted with the service.

Molly's fue una buena parada para almorzar después de haber salido a dar un largo paseo con algunos amigos. Una amplia selección nos hizo pedir una variedad de tostadas, panecillos, sopa, huevos revueltos sobre una tostada y una tostada francesa con tocino. Todos eran muy buenos tamaños de porciones y bien presentados. El rollo de huevo tenía dos huevos fritos y mi rollo tenía dos rebanadas de salchicha de Lorne. Muy abundante.

My parents often visit here and my dad had been raving about the macaroni cheese.

My wife ordered a cake here for a special occasion with only a couple of days' notice. We were very impressed and the cake was delicious. Thanks very much!

Mi esposo y yo hemos estado un par de veces y me encanta ir a tomar un café y un bollo. Los bollos están recién horneados y hay una variedad de diferentes. Grande; mermelada esponjosa y grande para ir también. Café / chocolate caliente agradable y servicio caliente y amable. Se llena de gente y es genial ver una cafetería local en los suburbios.

Me entristecí cuando Ruth, que anteriormente dirigía este café, decidió cerrar. ¿Quién podría mejorar sus bollos increíbles y sus deliciosos pasteles? Bueno, ahora he estado en Molly tres veces, y puedo decir honestamente que es al menos tan bueno como el de Ruth, y posiblemente incluso mejor.

We booked a table for 4 today, and were delighted with the welcome, cosy atmosphere, great coffees, homemade scones and soup. We'll be returning to sample the alluring cakes another time. Highly recommended. Thank you, Molly's.

Recientemente me encontré con Mollys Cafe a pesar de no vivir muy lejos. Negocio encantador, independiente y amigable. Los pasteles son enormes y encantadores. Recomiendo encarecidamente el desayuno Mollys con un latte de vainilla. Ignore las reseñas tontas de las personas que solo se divierten con quejas. Pop a lo largo y disfrutar.

We went here for lunch and ordered baked potatoes that were £7.00 therefore we expected a decent portion. Potatoes were very small and clearly microwaved with a desert spoon amount of filling. Won’t be returning. Very disappointed

All home cooked food. Real soup. Scones superb. Wide selection of cakes and tray bakes. All very tasty. Reasonable prices. On the outskirts of Edinburgh and only a few minutes from The Water of Leith Walkway

La primera vez que visité esta cafetería y me decepcionó por decir lo menos.

this is meant to be a family only beer garden until 8 pm. It is nothing of the sort ! It is a foul mouthed, loud, brash unruly singing den for football louts who swear & play loud music from their parked cars in the adjacent car park until all hours, unchecked by staff inside who are not interested.

Straightforward, tidy tearoom with hot strong coffee, hearty soup, good filled rolls and plenty choice in the sticky bun department. Just the job for a relax after a busy morning. Will be back.

First visit to this delightful cafe , amazing choice of home baking , great coffee , wonderful surroundings , small but quaint cafe , spotlessly clean 👍...I will certainly be back ,

Buscando una parada para tomar café y tarta. Este café parece muy atractivo y no nos decepcionó. Una increíble selección de tartas y bollos caseros y una buena selección de cafés y tés. El bollo de queso salado estaba muy bien de sabor y deliciosa. El personal es amable y servicial, y sin duda volveré. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita.

Came here for coffee for a special birthday. Lots of cakes. Tasty. Would definitely return. They also sell traditional sweets in jars.

We were delighted to find - when almost everything was closed because of "the beast from the East" - that Molly's cafe remained open. The full Scottish breakfast (egg, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, haggis, black pudding, tomato, tattie scones, toast) was just what was needed as the depressing weather conditions continued over a period of days. The next day I went for the Vegetarian breakfast - delicious sausages as well as tattie scones, beans, egg, toast, tomato, mushrooms. The coffee is delicious.The jams are home made. Sara and her staff are all warm and welcoming, and the environment is charming and cosy. I'll be back for the home made cakes another time! We couldn't recommend Molly's more highly.

Stopped for a coffee while I waited on a bus, ended up buying 2 scones and a cherry slice!! Home baking is fabulous service was good. Nice wee independent cafe with bags of charm and great food ! Will definitely be back!

We were looking for a cuppa and happened to spot Mollys so we went in. There was one of the most impressive collections of home bakes I have seen anywhere, and they tasted as good as they looked. Excellent service from friendly staff, and home-made jam for the scones. We will be back.

Such a lovely wee cafe, we went because we heard about the amazing empire biscuits, but we ended up having the lentil & soup with a scone, was delicious! The staff where very welcoming, and we took a few cakes to take away.

Was a big fan but agree with past reviews this place needs a good clean. Arrived on Sunday afternoon .... toilet needed a good bleach and floor was a disgrace under our table. Worse than this the young man who served us served cake and wiped off a part of the cake of the knife wit his fingers yuck!!!!!! When I said I rather you hadn't wiped that with your fingers he just stared at me! Needless to say that part was binned. What a shame... lovely food but need to train staff in basic food handling. Disappointed was a favourite spot.

Vinimos para el almuerzo los domingos. Gran selección de pasteles y estaban deliciosos, pero patatas asadas fueron una decepción. No hay piel crujiente, como si hubiese sido superficial. Botellas de ensalada izquierda eran en su mayoría vacíos. Pareció extraño que no ofrecen col como una opción.

Popped in here for something to eat on Saturday morning. Initially we only wanted a snack, however we were pleasantly surprised at the great menu, and I opted for a breakfast role, and my wife had the soup. Both were delicious and we will be back. Great price too. Small, family run cafe, but they could not have been more helpful or pleasant to us. They apparently do evening meals at the weekend, so that will be our next try. We loved the whole experience. Lovely.

Haven't been for a while as, the last time, the bacon looked lost even in the average sized roll.

Mi marido, mi hijo y yo tomamos el desayuno en el Molly's esta mañana. Ha sido muchos meses desde que estuvimos aquí por última pero, ah, cómo no me di cuenta! Nos tomamos el desayuno (excelente relación calidad-precio! ! ) y nuestro hijo tenía cosas fuera de la placa. Servicio era igualmente excelente. el personal es muy alegre y servicial. Me dieron un pastel de ir y que disfrutamos mucho de esta tarde.

Cena absolutamente deliciosa, con un grupo de madres para final de plazo. Ambiente relajado y amable. Steven era realmente servicial cuando hablar de nuestra reserva de grupo. La comida era de primera clase y a un precio razonable. BYOB significaba que era una noche muy asequible para todos. Volveremos.

El personal es muy agradable y la comida sabrosa, sin duda volveremos! Bonito y pequeño lugar alejado de la ciudad. Una verdadera alegría.

Having recently moved to the area, Molly('s) is our new best friend, punctuating all our walks and cycles along the Water of Leith: for hearty soups and even heartier scones at lunchtime, or great coffee and afternoon cakes (The display is in itself a spectator sport). We had dinner there last Thursday and the steaks were superb: faultlessly cooked (and priced, it has to be said) to our tastes and with charming service from Steven. The only drawback was the company; we were the sole diners. Come on Colinton and Juniper Green eaters-out; forget the price-inflated and often shonky (well, at the least, risky) dining experiences 'up town', and support this great local business; it's friendly, delicious and great value.

Visitamos Mollys para café y tarta. El café era aceptable, aunque más que un café latte vía láctea como no un montón de espuma en la parte superior. Las tartas eran bonitas. El mayor problema era el servicio. El café estaba lleno con un grupo caminando y como entramos en el dueño nos miraba y dijo con una accusingly deslumbrar no sólo quieres cafés. Apreciar estaban ocupados, pero muy desagradable y en todo acogedor. Se destacó más joven nos sirve con impaciencia mientras seleccionados pasteles. Obviamente pasado su tiempo como él a la izquierda acabado tan pronto como nosotros que lo sirve. Es una pena que el servicio es malo ya que algunos cafés en la zona, sin embargo he oído muchas personas localmente comentando sobre servicio antipático. Me sentí como si los clientes estaban siendo un verdadero inconveniente. No prisa atrás.

Llamado a última hora para ver si podíamos conseguir una mesa. . . Me dijeron que era totalmente. reservado que siempre es una buena señal! No desanime ya que estaban dispuestos a esperar hasta el día siguiente, pero una hora más tarde recibió una llamada de mollys para decirle que tenía una cancelación y lo que nos gusta aún. . . . Muy buen servicio, teniendo en cuenta que nunca dejado mi número. En cuanto a la comida. . . No podría criticar una sola cosa. . . . Nunca dejamos un bocado en ninguna de nuestras placas de más de 3 campos que tuvimos cada uno. Relación calidad-precio. . . Por sólo £42. 3 campos cada uno y tuve un bistec! Te permite traer tu pripia bedida alcohólica sin duda ayuda a mantener el coste, pero todo el mundo sabe su propio vino favorito, así que funciona perfecto! Bien hecho chicos! ! Gracias y hasta pronto!

El café de la mañana en este concurrido café local buenas para conseguir un asiento. Servicio muy amable y eficiente, personal muy buena en ingredientes para personas que padezcan alergias (todo casero). Ambas tortas y café eran geniales

Nutritious lunches, tempting home baking and speedy service. A real find in Juniper Green! Don't miss it!

Just called in on way home from Edinburgh to South Lanarkshire - just our kind of place with the most wonderful array of homemade cakes and scones. Friendly welcome, great service and the best scone/cream/jam I have EVER tasted (and I've had a few!). Although we are a half hour drive away we shall definitely be returning for the steak night! Looking forward to that one.

Great welcome from Sarah the owner and her sons. All of the cakes and scones are freshly made on the premises and there is an awesome choice!

Every few months I enjoy a light lunch or coffee and scone with a few friends at Molly's. The food is always superb and fast out the kitchen. The staff and service however is dull, seem to have no appreciation for customers coming and no personality in engaging with customers. Very draining service but well worth it for the food

My parents live locally and we went for an evening meal after reading the good reviews on here. The menu was varied. It was BYOB. We loved everything we ordered - baked camembert with toast and soup of the day (fresh mint and pea) starters, salmon and prawn risotto, smoked haddock and ribeye steak mains. All cooked perfectly and very tasty. We were too full to manage a dessert. Surroundings homely and interesting. Waitress and chef both charming. Look forward to returning in the near future.

We've eaten breakfast (at noon... but what you want after a nice walk along the Leith Water Walkway) and I tell you: The best scones in town. Don't miss it, try it! Very friendly personal, nice and clean. Ok, after a three hour walk I felt more for a hamburger for lunch (they have a nice card, they offer a salad buffet, soup etc. but the hamburger is offered for dinner…). So I tried the scones. Guess that it was worth to walk that distance for it. Molly’s is a real nice place and there is a direct stairway down to the walkway or, in our case, from the walkway up.Well, as I couldn’t taste the hamburger, I will give four of five points (as well as I hope that the very clean restroom will get some improvements too, like they say on a writing on the wall). So: If you are in Edinburgh, take the 44 to Juniper Green (or walk along the Leith Water Walkway) and try those scones, with a great coffee or hot chocolate.

Good varied menu & very tasty food. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Would certainly god there again. Good prices

Lovely friendly place to have a scone or two with coffee/tea. Home made jam is delicious.Just walked through Colinton Dell and stopped off before walking back through Dell.

Just returned from an impromptu evening meal at Molly's with friends. I stumbled across Molly's earlier this year whilst on a walk along the Water of Leith and did a detour up to juniper green village centre in search of a coffee shop. Had driven past a few times and just thought Molly's was a cake shop, but more detailed investigation showed it to be a lovely tea/coffee shop with fantastic home baking and very friendly service. Have since been in a few times for lunch and this evening decided on the spur of the moment to try their evening meals. Wow, what a find! Very good quality, delicious food, we'll definitely be back. Thank you guys :)

I recently held my 50th birthday party at Mollys. Everything went off without a hitch. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was excellent and from the feedback I've received, a really good time was had by all.I've also been in during the day and sampled both the cooked breakfast and the home baking - yum :o).Don't drive past it!

Popped in for a late lunch for me and coffee for my Mum. Welcomed with a smile and very helpful suggestions re options so late in day for lunch (circa 330pm). Settled on soup and scone - absolutely lovely. Staff did not rush us at all, and even offered scones free of charge as we left as 'don't use scones next day - bake them fresh every day' hmm thats why they tasted so good. Lovely little find and recommend to anyone in area.

Waiter very attentive and friendly without being overly so. Food totally awesome as usual. Our family love this place and the evening meals. Extremely satisfied customers again!

Great quality food! Seems to offer a huge amount to the local community.Waiter/server seemed a bit clueless but apart from that all was excellent!

Been here lots for coffee and cakes - the best for both in Edinburgh. They have recently started doing evening meals at the weekend - the menu looks quite ordinary but the food is superb. Try the garlic mushrooms and the sea bass, as most of our party did. It was as good as any food I've had anywhere, and at out of town prices. Plus it's BYOB which makes it even better value. It's quite small, so be sure to book.

Small cafe on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Popped in for a coffee and a cake. Friendly staff and excellent cakes and cheese scone - best of our whole two week trip!

We enjoyed a meal at Molly's this evening. What an experience for the tastebuds! Five star service and the food presentation and tastiness is up there with top restaurants, and better for the prices being extremely fair & reasonable! We had a variety of food from their menu and each course and dish were utterly delicious, and generous portion sizes. We'll visit on a regular basis. Get yourselves along, i promise you won't be disappointed!!

Mollys are now open for evening meals. Four of us had a selection of starters, mains and sweets. Everything was beautifully presented and every dish tasted amazingly good. Service superb, a lovely friendly atmosphere and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back.

Tried this deli to see if was any better than Wood's deli opposite. Prices lower, standard of home baking higher, especially the scones, only surpassed by the empire biscuits best I've ever tasted! It is a bit understated decor wise but this is more than compensated by the welcome and sunny outlook that radiates from the Sarah Jane the owner. She has achieved a laid back and relaxed ambience that is appreciated by the 'regulars'. Well worth a visit.

This is a fantastic find! I live close by but have always chosen other coffee shops. I should have used before as it is superb!! Very good home cooking and the baking is fresh and wholesome. Highly recommend their soup and the cake had just been baked. If I were to change anything it would be to brighten up the inside a bit with lighter coloured tables and chairs which are a little old fashioned but it does not take away from the fact that this is a very good little bistro coffee shop and should be used by all the locals. I would definitely go back and it far exceeds the other coffee shops round about by a mile for quality and service. It gets 5 stars from me and I am fussy

We popped in to Molly's recently while on a walk along the Water of Leith. The cafe is only a couple of minutes walk from the riverside footpath, and makes a great place to refuel. The mochas we had were excellent, and the choice of home baking - cakes and traybakes - was very good, and delicious. Molly's also offers cake baking classes for those wanting to improve their skills. We'll definitely be back.

Superb cakes, low prices, quirky atmosphere. Highly recommended.Earlier in the day, we'd spotted a deli-cafe across the road and had intended to eat there. After a swim in Harlaw Reservoir (bracing cold water but clean, with beautiful scenery), we returned through Juniper Green to go to the other cafe... but it was full, every seat taken. Instead, we nipped over to Molly's which was empty. Not a good sign. Due to lack of other options, we went in...And we've so glad we did! What an incredible array of cakes! Wow this lady is one talented baker. We were actually needing lunch but Molly's doesn't serve 'lunch' - it's all cuppas and cakes. So we had the most lunch-y cake: a scone. My friend had the imaginative cheese, bacon & spring onions scone; I had the conservative traditional fruit scone. Both were everything a good scone should be: large, good texture holding together (not crumbly), and plenty of flavour. There were three (homemade? I think so) jams on the dresser at the back of the room, plus room-temperature butter. The jam was very fruity, not sugary & gloopy like cheap stuff. I'd like to be able to comment on the coffee but with these generously-sized scones, we simply had two pots of tea. Which was delicious (then again, any hot tea is like nectar after a wild swim). We wonder why Molly's doesn't serve more lunch food... a 'quiche of the day' would do, or a homity pie.The interior of the cafe is a mixture of old dark furniture so it's teetering between unfashionable and shabby chic, and somehow feels like you're sitting in someone's large dining room. A bit of unobtrusive background music would have been good. A sign in the bathroom proclaims a makeover is planned. And all the cake-decorating kit is towards the back of the room, heaped up like children's toys, rather than away in boxes. Clearly loads of love and attention goes into the baking here, so when that diligence is applied to the decor, Molly's will be a tip-top tea-&-cake venue.We also bought, to take home, two sandwich biscuits: each one was two chunky palm-sized gingerbread star-shapes with a filling of orange-flavoured buttercream. I haven't eaten mine yet - it's almost too pretty to destroy by consuming it... We wish the new owner loads of luck and hope the locals make it their regular, and tourists like us find it. Highly recommended, and make sure you go hungry: you'll want to try more than one cake!

We popped in here on the way home being in need of a cuppa. The lady owner was very friendly and the cakes we had were delicious - were spoilt for choice! Lots of nice touches such as a variety of hot chocolate flavours to choose from and different flavoured jams for scones added to the homely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I found this gem of a cafe whilst visiting clients in Juniper Green. The cafe itself was under new management, with home baking taking prominence on the counter. I must say, this is the best cafe I have visited in a long time and I visit a lot of them over the course of a week. I now make a point of stopping there a couple of times a week. Well worth a visit!

Been to Molly's several times now and the cakes are always excellent, lovely and fresh. Would highly recommend if you're in the area

Popped in on a drive past for a coffee and a scone. Excellent service, scones are amazing and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definately be back and also very cyclist friendly too - so get on your bike and go to Molly's...

Ok so the wife won a competition on Facebook for a dessert. She chose banoffee. Wow absolutely gorgeous. Thick whipped cream, lots of toffee, fresh banana and a scrumptious Biscuit base. I will be back............. Outstanding stuff

We were big fans of this coffee shop under its previous management and so wondered how it would feel to visit now that it's under new management and called "Molly's". The good news is that the cakes are just as delicious. Phew! Not only that but the owner is very friendly. I'm sure we'll be back. Also of interest were the cake-decorating classes run here in the evenings. Worth looking into.

Lovely café , delicious home baking especially the scones, and all reasonably priced. Owner very friendly and welcoming.
