Beautiful home-baked scone and rasp jam.....and my husband loved his coffee....I'm a tea drinker and really enjoyed the earl grey on offer. Would definitely return when we have more time to try the delicious brunch menu.

Has the potential to be so nice but the owner is consistently horrible. If you try to be helpful and return your empty cups or plates to the till he will tell you it’s not helpful (in a much less polite way). When customers walked in he said ‘jesus Christ’ and refuses to conversate or even acknowledge you whilst you try and order, doesn’t even look up at you no matter how polite you are. Feel bad for the staff as he’s rude to them too. I get that running a coffee shop can be stressful, but if you can’t even stand customers trying to be polite and clean up after themselves why do it? Avocado on toast is £10 and the coffee is usually pretty sh*t. How do you mess up a black coffee lol.

Excellent americanos and the BREAKFAST is excellent. Just a warning, the little pot they serve with the breakfast is marmalade ... Not baked beans as I originally assumed!!

Coffee was really good but wouldn't go back for the food. Avocado on toast was a bit bland and the eggs were underdone. I had to set aside quite a bit of undercooked egg.

This has been one of our favourite cafés. On this occasion we each had an excellent "Flat White" coffee and a huge, very tasty cheese scone to share. But we thought the staff were scruffily dressed and did not look not entirely clean. One member of staff went outside, sat at a table at the door and had a vaping session. On return she just wiped her hands on her apron and went back to service. Not good enough. Unlikely to return.

great customer service from most staff except one male, seems to run the place and was constantly on the coffee machine. From the minute we walked in he gave off a hostile welcoming. After we ate a lovely breakfast we thought it would be helpful to Bring our plates up to one of the waitresses. Infront of everyone he screamed at us and told us to leave. When leaving he continued to shout at us from the window. His workers seemed embarssed, it must be a usual thing, he’s been working there far too long it seems

Well, I was really excited about the eggs benedict and I asked with spinach, because I love spinach. The lady asked me if I want the spinach cooked or raw. What a weird question I thought because everywhere else they serve egg beni with wilted spinach. When I got the plate it looked amazing, but... why do you use vinegar to cook/boil or whatever the cook did with that spinach?!?!?! I had a few bites, it was so strong I couldn't finish, my partner tried to finish it, he almost choked on it a few times it was that strong. I wish someone came to our table to at least ask is everything alright with the food? (Like other places...) but obviously nobody did. Don't add vinegar to the spinach, its awful.

Been here quite regular, people are nice and usually do great coffee. But today ÂŁ4.00 for a cup of liquid burnt toast and call it coffee. And still ask for a tip. Only tip I can give is stop asking for a tip if you standard is bare minimum. Bet the person who made the coffee will blame the machine or the grinder.

I had to leave the premises after appalling customer service. We seat down at a table with a plate and teapot still on it from the previous customer. I thought I would help my placing it on the shelf behind me. A member of staff tried to collect it and a saucer slipped onto the ground and broke. He then aggressively told me that it was my fault and I shouldn’t have put it on the shelf. Other customers around me were also startled by his tone and behaviour towards me. He then returned and I explained that I was trying to be helpful - he responded by stating “well you weren’t”. This caused me to become upset and had to leave - my daughter also started crying. It’s also worth stating that I had my two young children with me. I absolutely will not tolerate being spoken to in this way by anyone and I am shocked by the lack of customer service. It is truly disgusting. I was a local, very regular customer and I will NEVER set foot in Project Coffee again. I’d advise the same of anyone also - repulsive member of staff.

Popped in for a quick refreshment but a disappointing visit - it wasn’t very clear whether it was table service or not. Order at counter. Had issue with card payment and needed internet to quickly sort it. No Wi-Fi available unfortunately.

Very much enjoyed my first visit today. With a choice to sit inside their tastefully decorated restaurant or outside on what was a beautiful sunny day this is simply a great venue for just a coffee or something delicious to eat. I opted for brunch and had scrambled eggs and bacon complimented by a latte. The eggs were perfectly done with plenty of high quality toast, butter and even a pot of thick cut marmalade it was perfect. Service was fast and the staff very friendly too. Highly recommended.

The coffee here (Square Mile Red Brick) is excellent, but this place really comes into its own if you're having breakfast or brunch. The Benny and the Brekkie Melt are excellent, and so is the full breakfast. I'd go more often if I could reliably get a table! The fact that they're also dog friendly is a huge, appreciated bonus.

If you're looking for a great coffee spot in Edinburgh, look no further than Project Coffee in Bruntsfield. This cozy and welcoming café has a trendy, laid-back vibe that's perfect for working, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a good cup of coffee. The coffee here is top-notch. In addition to coffee, Project Coffee also serves a range of delicious food, including breakfast items, sandwiches, and pastries. The menu is well-curated and offers a good mix of healthy and indulgent options. Everything we tried was fresh, flavourful, and satisfying. The atmosphere of the café is another highlight. The space is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light. It's a great place to settle in with a book and spend some time working or relaxing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they seem genuinely passionate about coffee and food.

Regular customers but now we will be looking for new weekend coffee spot. Excellent coffee and pleasant staff however, takeaway cups chronically under-filled (when I mentioned this to staff they thought I was joking) and a latte now costs ÂŁ4.10! Despite this being the only place open early at weekends that serves decent coffee, with this new price increase (the most expensive in Bruntsfield!), we will unfortunately be looking for an alternative for our caffeine! :(

This is a comfortable cafe which also has outdoor seating sheltered from the rain and sun . The coffee and food are usually very good but on this occasion the coffee was weak , awful , watery and tasted like coffee grinds . Possible an inexperienced barista grinding it too fine ? Running it through too quickly ? It was busy , didn’t want to queue again to ask for the coffee to be re made , so we drunk half and left .

When I entered, the cafe was quiet. I put my stuff down at a table next to the counter and then turned to order a coffee only to be told I couldn’t order from there. I had to take three steps around the counter and then repeat the same words to order a coffee. Utterly bizarre! After all that, the coffee was awful.

I felt we were grudgingly served ( in take away cups! ) I asked if they had any gluten free cake options for my daughter who is coeliac and was told no. I'm not sure if there had been and were none left but the server didn't elaborate. Not a great first impression

They have started to ask for tips. Tips aren’t a given in the uk unless service is really good and we dont tend to tip for counter service in cafes. The weird thing here is you have to order your food at the counter and immediately pay before you even know if the service is good. They also make the servers ask you directly if you want to add the tip. It’s really off putting and I would personally avoid in the future just for this reason which is a shame but it’s just so awkward.

Excellent service, decent prices, great portions. I ordered the Project Breakfast and Earl Grey tea. It was my first time having haggis and I loved it, nothing like what I would except (it reminded me almost of a salty, meaty bulgar wheat). I loved the grilled tomato and small mushrooms, the bacon was thick cut and crisped and the toast was thick and multi-grain served with a tangy orange marmalade.

Book it! Go here! This place is absolutely fantastic. The service, the food, the people, the atmosphere, everything. You're in a neighborhood with great restaurants, grocery stores shall you need them, lots of parks, and the best shawarma place on the planet. The park nearby is a leisurely golfing area. There's a pub that has golf clubs for you to borrow. And they have beer. If I haven't sold you yet, then you don't belong here anyway. Cheers!
