Patisserie Florentin in Edinburgh, City of

We had been exploring the delights of Stockbridge and came across this place by chance. What a find! It was quite small and the tables were fairly close together but there was a good choice of lunch options and the coffee was excellent. I'd definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Lovely patisserie with beautiful cakes. Indoor & outdoor seating. Popular gem of a place. Nice & clean with helpful staff.

It was super cute and had lots of character. Good food and pastries and proper coffee! Amazing and friendly staff as well.

Came for a snack lunch for the first time and will be back. Highly recommend the tropical fruit smoothie. Service very attentive and friendly.

Ordered two flat white coffees for my wife and I. Her one was fine, mine looked like yesterday’s dishwater. I took it back, only to be told by a surly, unsmiling assistant that they were both ‘made at the same time.’ That’s as maybe, and clearly made with the same coffee grounds with my insipid, unwelcoming drink following my wife’s. A new one was thrown down shortly afterwards by said surly unsmiling assistant. Do better!!

Booked this before a trek round lovely Stockbridge . Great choice of menu. Nice ambience apart from four ladies dining in the centre of the room who were unacceptably loud. Food was lovely and cakes amazing. Would recommend.

Stopped off here whilst sightseeing Dean village / Stockbridge. Wonderful choice of eats and all homemade. Great service and quality food. Clean loo. They allow dogs too. Popular with local folks. Croissant Monsieur was lovely and Croque Monsieur! Would visit again.

The food was decent never my 4 star score but the customer service was appalling, not a word was said by any of the staff even a hello or goodbye. Even when a staff member came to take our order did say a word even what can I get you, There’s so many nice cafes on the area @ we won’t recommend or won’t be back.

I don’t know if I could like this place anymore than I do. 3 mornings in Scotland. 3 morning at this adorable patisserie that in addition to bakery goods, has a lovely hot breakfast selection. Very friendly staff. Great area to walk around as well.

De eggs royale met zalm waren heerlijk. Goed verzorgd en lekker van smaak. Het is een klein tentje in een iets minder druk gedeelte van de stad.

tijdens wandeling door New Town Edinburgh kwamen we toevallig bij deze patisserie die ontbijt, lunch en koffie/thee biedt. Een mooie gevel met paar stoeltjes buiten verleid om binnen te gaan. Er is een kleine eerste ruimte met verkoopbalie en dan nog een kleine woonkamer ingericht met tafeltjes. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Er is lekkere taart maar ook de lunchgerechten zijn heerlijk. Ruim aanbod vegetarische gerechten. Aanrader is de croque Messier met zalm.

Please avoid went in today with daughter had a toasties with orange juice and my daughter had a can of juice with scrambled egg on sourdough bread which when it came was microwaved after waiting about half an hour both was tastless and served from a ladies with dark hair which was very rude the couple next to us were unimpressed with service and food also. Have visited edinnbuyrgh on many occasions but would never think of ever going back to that establishment plenty of other lovely cafes and restuarants with nice people and a lot nicer food.

We were taking an elderly friend out for lunch. Edinburgh’s “grand hotels” no longer cater for a light lunch. Patisserie Florantin allowed us to book a table (we couldn’t have our friend have to stand waiting for a table), and the menu was just right - with enough choice, and not over elaborate. (One of the grand hotels offered “Lebanese with a Scottish twist”). Good food. Good value. Thank you.

Have been here before always very good. They have fantastic bagels which aren't those tough chewy ones they are lovely. Yummy smoothies. Lots of different gluten free cakes....not just chocolate brownie!!! I think there were 5 or 6 gf cakes can't tell you how unusual it is to have such a choice. And for me the staff are always important and they are very nice in this cafe. It's a really popular place so they possibly don't need me to recommend it!! It's not huge....we shared a table with another couple so that's the only thing maybe you'll go along and won't get in but give it a try it's worth it I especially like having breakfast/brunch there.

Came here with a class mate for the first time! Staff were okay. I had the quiche Lorraine which was lovely and reasonably priced

Nice cafe with lots of seating in back. friendly helpful staff with a good menu throughout the day at decent price.

After a walk from Dean Village at the end of Circus Place we found this lovely Patisserie. We had drinks and tarts which were delicious. Inside looked nice, but we made the most of the sunshine and sat outside. 😎

Well worth a stop off on a walk down to Dean Village- amazing little breakfast, good choice, amazing pastries. Quick service and a lovely environment to sit and eat in!

Lovely little cafe. I visited here a few days each week for around four months whilst I worked round the corner, although I did try a few of their other options on the menu which were lovely, my main order was their smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel which was devine. This paired alongside a cup of tea and a malteser slice, which was to die for. I think it became a little bit too regular, as one of the lovely women who work there knew my order before I even ordered it, which made my stay there even more welcoming. The staff are all lovely, very quick with making the food and always on hand if needed. I was always made to feel welcome, especially since I dined alone, and I will be disappointed to say that today will be my last time visiting the cafe for a while as I will be starting a new job further away. However, I will be making a return visit here in the future!

There are many eateries in Edinburgh siutable for the fuller fat-cat funders and the most modest money manager.  But ... the real trick is to find one that's just that wee bit cool, carefree ... and yet custonmer-caring and just genuine ... but with no holds barring the offer of good food and value. Such a clear contender is "The Florentin Cafe" near the Bridge over The River Dean at Stockbridge.  Sitting amongst the complement of happy smiling customers and similarly disposed staffers, we spent an amusing and memorably comfortable hour being served and demolishing our feast of teas, coffees, scrambled eggs, pork sausages, bacon rolls, beautifully-crafted cakes and sandwiches. The place itself is homely and unpretentious, clean and curiously uncluttered. The clientele included a famous female journalist, author and TV regular whose privacy we left undisturbed. The prices were commensurate with the quality of all on offer and the location of the business. The welcome was "Haste Ye Back" ... and we'll be back.

We stumbled upon this lovely cafe on a wander through the Stockbridge area. So pleased we decided to stop in as it was a very pleasant place to take the weight of our feet and enjoy delicious cakes and excellent tea and coffee.

Stopped here whilst exploring the local area during our short break in Edinburgh. Lovely quaint little cafe in a good location. Only had coffees but the cakes and pastries looked beautiful :) Staff ensured that covid guidelines were followed

We had a bagel and eggs Benedict and the food was served quickly, and it was delicious and well presented. The coffee was lovely, as was the fresh orange juice. Overall, a fantastic find and a lovely breakfast.

Charming quirky coffee shop with some outside seating and comfy interior. Delicious treats to accompany your tea or coffee.

Brunch at Patisserie Florentin I stopped by for some late breakfast and to also get some shelter from the rain and wind. The staff was friendly and even though it was a bit chilly inside, the atmosphere was busy and warming. I had the tomato...

The lovely bijou Patisserie Florentin with delicious cakes, lovely atmosphere and coffee shop chat. The back room is where the modern philosophers meet. A treat!

Had breakfast here this morning ahead of travelling home. As other have commented this is a busy and quirky café but also, importantly, serves good food at a reasonable price. With seats both inside and outside it’s an interesting place to eat, the staff are...

As the title says. Macchiato was good, attentive waiter. Open until 6pm which is a plus if you crave caffeine later in the day.

Took a walk from Edinburgh centre via the river through picturesque Dean village to Stockbridge. Visited the local market which was really buzzing and then had tea and cake at this lovely little cafe just up the hill. Fresh cakes and pastries served by smiley...

Rustic and nice Scrupcious pastries and hot choclate .Lovely trat bakes and coffee Very nice staff nice for a light lunch

The service is great. The food is delicious. Loved the BLT. Very fresh. We were glad we went. We would visit again if we are in the area.

A very small parisian style cafe that serves tasty pastries, cakes and coffee. Very good breakfasts too, crocks, eggs ect. Not a brunch buffet place. Nice ambience, good vibes, friendly staff but beware it is very small so get there early or reserve a table.

More than pleasantly surprised when we passed by today. Staff were very helpful, directing my partner to the facilities with no complaint, and afterwards explaining all the ingredients on the food display at length. We ordered a latte each, salmon and cream cheese baguette, and...

This little gem we found accidentally and we are so happy we did. It was late afternoon and we had skipped lunch earlier in the day, so we opted for the club sandwich, blueberry flan and coffees. The sandwich was made quickly and was full...

This was an unconventional lunch, following a large fry up for breakfast and a long walk following the Water of Leith path it was sweets that were required. My friend and I shared an “exotic fruit tart” and a “french apple pie” Both were absolutely...

A delightful cafe in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh. It does a range of teas and a tasty coffee. I had a croque monsieur cooked to perfection. There is a choice of cakes, some of which are gluten free.

Cafe spacieux , accueil sympathique. Un gros point positif : les home made beans vraiment délicieux. On a commandé aussi...

I have visited a few times and always had a great experience. Their pastries are delicious and big, they have several vegetarian options and the coffee isn't fancy but is quite good. There is a cozy back room with small tables where they have art exhibitions. They open at 8am - which is great - and it is a dog-friendly place. When very busy it can be a bit slow, but it makes up for it with an atmosphere of effortless charm and some tasty treats. Good sized portions for a fair price. I highly recommend a visit!

Yip you read that right, after a long wait for our food my wife found that her baked potato was frozen in the middle. I didn't even think that was possible.

If you’re looking for the tastiest, crispiest bacon you’ll ever experience, go here! We were lured in by the scent drifting out into the street nearby and fortunately managed to get a table. It’s only a dinky cafe so bigger groups may struggle (could be worth booking - unsure if they offer this?).

We had a great time having breakfast at Pâtisserie Florentin, we really really liked the music : its was perfect !

A small yet warm and welcoming cafe, Patisserie Florentin was a lovely choice for an early morning breakfast before heading to the airport. For us, it was a one-minute walk from where we were staying. Good eggs on toast and good, strong coffee. The dark hot chocolate was also tasty. We were eyeing off the delectable patisserie treats on offer but had no room left to try any!

Let’s start with the good: this place makes a pretty damn good bagel. I contemplated this being 2 stars because they are genuinely tasty.

Tried this cafe today with a friend. Good points were: spacious, tables not too crowded together, service fairly quick. We sat for some time chatting and were not hassled to leave, which was nice.

Looking to start our walk down the water of Leith in the Stockbridge area, we needed a good breakfast. We got one here! Good scrambled eggs and coffee.

Have visited this cafe on a few occasions and this is my first review.

Hicimos una parada a la vuelta de Dean Village, sólo tomamos cafés, buenos, no rebajado como el Inglés o Americano, el precio adecuado a la norma de Escocia y los pasteles y bollería tenían una pinta de vicio. Tenía opciones de leches veganas aunque cobraban extra; esto no me parece bien, hoy en día la de vaca, como almendra o soja deberían ser opción al alcance de todos. Baño unisex tienen

This is an unusual quirky cafe and has beautifully baked pastries. I had a delicious salmon and cream cheese Bagel that tasted so fresh. Perfect for after a walk around Dean's Village!

I walk past Patisserie Florentin at least twice a week and have alway thought it was a place that I would like to visit. So last Sunday when I was out and about in Stockbridge with my wife we decided to give it a go.

Affordable coffee and pastries. Nothing too spectacular, but we didn’t have any other food. It’s a nice place for a quick stop

I love trying independent coffee shops. Coffee was nice and staff were friendly and attentive. A good selection of cakes/ pastries available

Nach einem langen Spaziergang durch Dean Village zurück zur Stockbridge entlang der Circus Lane usw. dieses kleine Retreat entdeckt und für einen fantastischen Kaffee mit Triffle eingekehrt. Habe meine Pause sehr genossen. Ein Gang zur Toilette lohnt ... Ich sage nur: Stoffbezogene Wandgestaltung. See for yourself.

I visited a few days ago with a friend for breakfast. The place is nice and welcoming and the staff were all friendly and helpful with good service. However, we ordered scrambled eggs on toast and were served microwaved eggs which were dry and over cooked. The fact that they are microwaved is not even hidden. This seems quite lazy and not the quality you would expect for the price.

We were so hungry so popped in to this very busy place. We had a salmon salad and toasted sandwich. Was fresh and lovely. Would go back when less busy. But defo a treasure

Wir waren dort um einen Kaffee und einen Tee zu trinken und dazu etwas ganz kleines zu Essen. Für das war dieses Lokal ideal. Klein und fein. Tea, Kaffee und das Gebäck waren ausgezeichnet.

Visited early sat for lunch and had the croque croissant, food and coffee was great but the service was a bit of a let down as the older lady who served me (looked to be the owner) didn’t smile at all. Lovely to see another dog cafe, would definitely come back.

The brownie is so rich and chewy! This is all I wanted for breakfast! Coffee is excellent! The bagel with bacon is great as well! Would recommended for an early bird who seeks early breakfast!

Sweet spot for breakfast , lunch or just some coffee and pastry . Came here for breakfast on our last day in Edinburgh . Friendly service and delicious breakfast . Sunny and inviting sitting area .

This is without a doubt our favorite place for breakfast. The food is OK from a very standard menu that doesn't change much but its real selling point is the beautifully relaxed atmosphere. Nice staff, well-worn tables, well-behaved dogs are welcome and get a drink, the coffee is good, reasonable WIFI, newspapers are provided and there is no pressure to leave. It's a favorite with locals and rightly so, recommended

I like to come here at the weekend for my breakfast but today was not great for me. The food was fine, as usual.

Topped and tailed our visit to Edinburgh with a visit here for brunch. Recommended by our accommodation host and she was spot on. On first visit I had bacon roll and DH had breakfast quiche. Both delicious. Followed this with a Pain au Raisin between us which was warmed and gorgeous. 2nd visit we both opted for the bacon roll. Lovely soft white roll filled with crispy bacon - what more could you ask? Reasonably priced too.

I live very near this little cafe, but have only recently started to visit it. The ambiance is very good and we like the fact that it is dog-friendly, especially as dog-owners are often very friendly too.

It can be difficult to find a reasonably priced restaurant in Stockbridge but we thankfully found this place. It is a charming little cafe with outdoor seating and great ambience. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The first day we went I got the scrambled egg with salmon. The portions are very generous and the salmon was exquisite. On the second day I got the club sandwich which was scrumptious and again it was a great portion size. As it is situated in a popular area of the city it can get very busy so you do have to grab a table as soon as you see someone leave. The downside is because it is so busy the staff often don't have time to clear the tables. Great little place for lunch.

First time here and and not disappointed. Nice friendly staff who came and took our order, was served promptly and the food was delicious and very good value for money . Also pleased to see it is dog friendly.

Table service but had to ask for table to be cleaned. Then had to ask for a menu. I ordered a scone and asked if I wanted it heated. I said yes and it came toasted and burnt. Then had to wait for our drinks to come later. Other couple ordered food they ended up taking away with them as it arrived long after their coffee. Tables left not cleared. Won’t be rushing back as so many more in Stockbridge to choose from.

Worth booking as it gets very busy. We were lucky as we took a table which had been reserved but was a no-show. The pastries were excellent. Would highly recommend if you are close.

Review based on a quick drop in for a takeaway coffee for my husband who proceeded to rave about it, far superior to any chain coffee house. The cafe felt warm and cozy, wished we could have stayed longer.

Ordered salmon and dill quiche. This was a quiche inside a scotch pie case! Unusual to say the least, but unfortunately also very greasy and unpleasant. I gave two stars because coffee was very nice!

Went in for a quick Sunday brunch. Service was fast and portions were large. I couldn’t finish my bagel and my friend barely finished his club sandwich. Good value for money. Bagel was good, can’t ever go wrong with a scrambled egg bagel!

Had breakfast here before wedding dress shopping at 'Those were the days' Vintage wedding dress shop. Had a delicious bacon and cream cheese bagel and was absolutely lush!! Lovely cup of tea too. Others with me had the waffles and avo toast and they were equally happy!

Thought I would give this place a try as my usual place for an amazing breakfast is The Antiquary on St Stephen Street.

ストックブリッジ・マーケットに朝食を兼ねて行ったところ、まだ開いていなかったため、その辺で朝食を…と、歩いていて見つけたカフェ。店名はパティスリーですが、パンやお惣菜のお持ち帰りや、軽い食事もできて、日曜の朝から近所の人たちで満員で、愛され人気店のようでした。

This is a great place for cakes of the French sort and croissants and the coffee is really good too. Too few seats perhaps as it can get crowded - a reflection of the quality.

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning, lovely little cafe. I asked them if they'd mind making me salmon and avocado bagel (instead of egg) which the waiter happily said they could do with no problems.

After having walked a few hours through the whole city of Edinburgh I told my family members to sneak in somewhere to drink a coffee with some pastry. I convinced them not to stop at Starbucks on the way to the Stockbridge-quarter , but to walk ten Minutes more to reach the Patisserie Florentin of which I had read before on the internet on culturetrip.com .

Located in Stockbridge area we were staying near by and wanted to avoid national coffee chains. This small cafe serves lively coffee and cakes and has a special ambience with friendly staff.

Two days running and counting. Good coffee and fine cakes. Looks a bit ordinary but hey who cares, good value.

Really nice place, really friendly, and dog friendly. Decor and atmosphere was great. Staff really helpful.

Dropped in again for a second lunch visit. The soup and sandwiches were tasty however despite it not being overly busy, the service was a little slow and the servers pretty indifferent. This cafe has a huge amount to offer and is popular with locals but it was let down by the service on this visit. A smile and a little friendliness wouldn't go amiss. We waited an inordinate amount of time trying to get attention for the bill so gave up and went to the counter where the indifference continued. I've given it a rating of 4 based on the food offering but the service could quite easily have made it lower.

Sweet cafe with comfortable, relaxed decor, friendly staff and reasonably priced. With so many places to choose from in Edinburgh, competition is fierce and although the quiche I had for lunch was tasty, it was accompanied by a small bland salad and two pieces of dry white bread.

Really tasty soup and sandwich deal. Reasonably priced, fast service, and outside seating is perfect for people watching!

Local intimate coffee shop serving cooked meals with daily mentions. Has outside sidewalk seating. Cushioned inside seats. Good coffee - not bitter. Several pastries to choose.

Nice friendly place to get great coffee and breakfast all day. We were greeted with a smile and treated very well. We would go back.

I liked almost everything in this place, from the interiors to the staff and, of course, the food! Real taste of France with beautiful croissant, tarts, quiches and more. I had a quiche with dill and salmon, a fresh fruit smoothie and then I spoiled myself trying both the lemon and the blackcurrant tarts...all very nice!

Light lunch with my partner after a few hours volunteering in a local charity shop. Relaxing environment and friendly staff. Basic menu but everything you would want from all day breakfast dishes to nice lunch options. Dog friendly which fine for us but may put people off and a loyalty scheme for coffees! We will return.

Ate here on Sunday morning before exploring Stockbridge market and charity shops.

We came for lunch here when it was pretty busy, but despite that the service was super friendly and super fast. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend and would return!

Tea coffee and a cake but with such a rustic authentic feel. The latte was one of the best ever. Go out of your way to enjoy a break here. Quite when we arrived at 1100 hours getting busy as we leave. Enjoy.

Visited here years ago and we returned a few weeks back for an impromptu lunch. Unfortunately the cafe was exceptionally busy and so the service was slow and perhaps not up to the usual standard. We both ordered Croque Monsieur and some soup. Very tasty and a just right for lunch. The menu is varied enough to cater for all whether its a breakfast or lunch visit. Overall, very much enjoyed despite a good lunch despite the slower than normal service.

Little French cafe in the heart of Stockbridge. Love the colours and the informal seating and decor. Nice enough cafe serving sandwiches, cakes and light meals. Staff are very friendly and is dog friendly.

Patesserie Florentin is unique. It's neither Hipster nor sleek & modern nor a traditional cafe. Most of the influences are French but there's a bit of Italian in there too. But who knows when. It is decidedly Stockbridge.

Have been here before but sat outside and endured the noise of traffic on cobbled streets.. I'm so glad that this time my partner and i sat inside to enjoy a delicious lunch. The soup was good but i wish i'd ordered my partner's club sandwich which was very fresh and yummy.

Histoire de changer du petit déjeuner de notre hôtel nous avons poussé la porte de ce charmant endroit. Atmosphère cosy, so british, charme d'un appartement du siècle dernier.

There is a new choice of breakfast quiche with baked beans which I prefer to the insipid mixed green salad. Recently, I had the family dog with me, who was made very welcome with a bowl of water and biscuit. They also have pastries.

We found this place by luck, it was a pleasant surprise, such friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. We would certainly recommend it to passers by.

On a crisp Autumn day, we sat outside with a coffee and watched the world go by. The coffee is good, and the service is proficient. Near to the Stockbridge Sunday food market. Nice to sit after a busy shop.

We stopped in around 6:30 pm on a sunday. Everywhere was mostly closed or closing and we saw they stayed open on weekends until 8. We went in and we each had a different version of a hot chocolate. You can choose milk or dark chocolate which is really nice. My wife isn't a big milk chocolate person so this really appealed to her. We asked what sweets they had and the waitress told us their selection and apologized for it being so small. We didn't think it was a small selection. We ended up getting two caramel bars and whatever she recommended. She brought us a peppermint bar which was really my favorite thing we had there. The sweets are very well made, not overly sweet but plenty of rich flavors. I would certainly recommend this place for a coffee or a sweet as you walk around Edinburgh.

After a long day walking round Edinburgh we (almost literally) stumbled into this lovely cafe. The flat whites were delicious and the patisserie was fabulous - pain au raisin, and a lemon tart and a strawberry tart were all the equal of anything we have had in France. Lovely.

Hicimos una buena caminata toda la tarde por la ciudad de Edimburgo y a nuestro regreso encontramos esta panadería y nos dejamos tentar por las delicias que vimos y lo mejor es que no nos equivocamos. Compramos varias tarteletas y algunas otras delicias para llevar al hotel y comerlas allí. Con eso ahorramos el costo de sentarnos en la panadería tomando café. Muy rico todo, un poco caros los precios pero lo valen por lo rico que es todo.

En nuestras visita a pie por la ciudad de Edimburgo llegamos a este local que es básicamente una panadería pero se pude comer allí y tomar un rico café. Tiene muy buena variedad de pastelería pero lo que más nos gustó son las tarteletas de frutas, son una delicia y acompañadas con un buen café, aun mejoran la experiencia. Vi mucha gente que compraba para llevar, posiblemente sea más barato llevar y comerlo en el hotel con un café de la cafetera que te proporcionan.
