Rose Street Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

The ambience and service were good, the service processed everything as quickly as possible. We didn't have to wait long. The food could have been seasoned better.

Scotland knows how to do breakfast! My God it was delicious and nutritious, I tried the haggis for the first time and it was interesting. All I could say is that it’s something completely different to anything I’ve had before, and it’s a must try. Personally, I didn’t love them, but wouldn’t mind eating haggis again. The ambience in this place was amazing, so cozy and the service was great!

We chose this cafe as an alternative to breakfast in our hotel. We ate here every morning of our stay. Food was excellent and freshly cooked. The orange juice is truly fresh and squeezed in front of you! Staff are lovely and we enjoyed every morning here. Scottish breakfast was very tasty as were Eggs Benedict. If we return to Edinburgh, we'll be back! Diolch yn fawr.

Popped in for breakfast had heard good reviews about the place and wow was not disappointed so goes without saying having experienced for myself totally recommend it to anyone in need of a hearty breakfast. Had the XL House Breakfast please refer to pics

Absolutely awesome cafe. Best Feta and Ceasar salad we have ever tasted.

Good choice and good plateful. Friendly staff. Would certainly return when next in Edinburgh we booked but could probably just walk in

Lovely cosy,clean place.Staff were very warm,friendly,excellent customer service and the food was delicious.I would highly recommend.

Spotlessly clean and good food and nice service

A beautiful and cozy café with friendly and attentive service. The food tastes excellent and we came back twice because we liked it so much. Great breakfast!

The best cake in Edinburgh. Both the Victoria Sponge and Apple Pie are to die for!!

It was the only breakfast place we could find open early in the morning. And the breakfast was delicious and the employee was sweet. Only the music was club songs that were quite lively for the morning and that was disturbing

2010 Club music at 10 am is a choice Food was good though

Unexpected find in Edinburgh. Reasonable prices and great food with great service. Doesn't look like much walking by but highly recommend.

Great place for lunch. Prompt and friendly service, food was clearly freshly made, everything tasted great. Even the salad on the plates was fresh & crisp & tasty and not just something thrown on the side out a pack.

We stopped here 3 times for brunch/lunch whilst at the Edinburgh Fringe. Waiter service and friendly service. Extensive breakfast and lunch options and good coffee. Whilst we didn’t try any cakes, the display cabinet of cakes looked very tempting. Seats outside and inside. Limited space for buggies/prams. Reasonable prices.

If you're looking for a quiet quick bite it would be ok. The food tasted fine, but was overcooked and kinda dried out. The waiter was friendly and helpful.

Good place for coffee and cake. Good and friendly people are running it

Service was good, staff nice Food was the blandest ive had tbh. Saddest burger ive seen.

Lugar aconchegante e comida saborosa e bem servida. Atendimento educado e cordial. Final de sempre bem movimentado e com várias nacionalidades presentes.

i’ve only been in scotland for a few days, but every day i have stopped here! they have kind workers who make sure you are taken care of, and there are plenty of options. all day breakfast. french fries (or crisps lol). dessert. you can even order an alcoholic beverage or coffee/tea. there’s something for everyone without breaking the bank. before i leave tomorrow, i will stop for breakfast! the atmosphere is quieter, but not in a way that you have to be quiet. it felt private enough for me to call my relatives and friends and chat about my trip :) it’s also nice for people watching since there is both indoor and outdoor seating. overall, a great place to go!

It has an extensive menu which offers excellent value, with generous portions. The service was efficient & the location is ideal for both shoppers & tourists.

Friendly staff, good place for brunch

Freshly cooked and healthy food, friendly atmosphere.

Great, cozy place with friendly staff. And most importantly, they know how to make a proper breakfast! Highly recommend!

Excellent soup, toastie, hummus wrap and chicken kebab.

Nice bacon and Brie baguette with plenty of Brie. And a welcoming atmosphere thanks to the friendly Serbian waitress. A nice place to grab some food and watch the world go by.

Very friendly service But quality absolutely not up to par Very dry pancakes with a few pieces of banana, no presentation work Not good and not beautiful Too bad at £11

We waited for the order for 40 minutes, other visitors who came later already went and left, and we were still waiting for the order to be brought to us. The slowest cook in the world. They also take tips for such a service... as a result, they brought overcooked eggs, the yolk is all dry

The waiters were very nice and pleasant, we had an excellent breakfast!

Good stuff for a quick bite, much cheaper than the other place up the other side of rose street next to t f i it's a good prices for a traditional food

Haloumi wrap was amazingly good and the waitress was so nice, we appreciated it

Among the best Dirty Chai's I ever had. Staff made sure we were taken care of and that are food was prepared exactly how we wanted it. Not large and doesn't look like much. But I would recommend it if in the area. Everything we ate was very good.

Everything perfect, service, local great breakfast

Lovely Cafe on Rose St... popped in for a tea & coffee on a Sunday evening. Friendly service, tea & coffee were of good quality. Food looked great too.

We wanted to eat a typical scottish breakfast before leaving edinburgh and ended up eating at this place in which you can order a breakfast that’s quite good at any point of the day! Also owners were kind which is a big +

I visited with a friend and her 5 month old child. When we entered my friend struggled in with a pram - limited space for this due to the amount of tables crammed in to the cafe space itself. We placed our orders (1 bacon roll and 1 sausage roll) as well as a couple of hot drinks. The drinks were delivered promptly which was great, however the rolls did not follow. After around 15 minutes we noticed multiple staff standing around and nobody cooking so clearly our order had been forgotten - indeed we had to question where the food was before it was even acknowledged. When the rolls were finally delivered, they were average at best - sausages dry and the bacon over done unfortunately. When paying, I felt a pressure to apply a gratuity (unsurprisingly I did not) as well as this, my friend was sorting out the pram and making sure everything was taken away, but there seemed to be pressure on us to leave as we had a table at the window that the staff wanted to clear. I had to ask the server to back up and give us a few minutes to get things sorted before we would leave. In the end we left and stood outside sorting the pram in the street (not a good experience at all for a new mother who was clearly stressing about making sure her child was correctly strapped in whilst being chased out of a cafe under pressure). Overall, just not good enough for the price paid. £15+ for 2 rolls and 2 hot drinks seems excessive.

Went due to reviews being 4.4, this is nowhere near. The food is cheap (not reflected in the price), the quality is poor. A greasy spoon on a street that offers so much more.

Food was not good and service was not good .. definitely would not recommend

Such great customer service and a lovely atmosphere. The food here is genuinely worth every penny and such great quality that we came back several times during our stay.

Excellent experience, food, cosy, atmosphere…relaxed. Many thanks. We enjoyed a brunch on Saturday morning and everything was just right.

Beautiful food, big portions and very tasty. Very warm, cute surroundings. Lovely place. Worth a visit especially if like us your first time in Edinburgh

Used to enjoy frequenting here but it’s went downhill the last couple of years. Very overpriced now and they also look for a service charge when paying the bill.

Nice breakfast/brunch cafe, a little overpriced in my opinion, however it is placed in the centre of the New Town in Edinburgh and very close to the main train station. Food was very tasty and we were not rushed out, we could peacefully wait for our train. Nice, friendly staff

Warm and quiet . The staff were very attentive. Toilets were clean and spacious.

We landed here Thursday morn in Beautiful Edinburgh found this cafe by accident as we were lost 😆. So glad we did food great avocado toast best I've had and omelettes delicious ,coffee best in Edinburgh defo recommend .

Perfect Breakfast, friendly Waitress, we got after 8 minutes our order - although all tables were occupied Thanks

Best breakfast I ever had. Quirky and chilled

The food was not bad but no customer service at all

Fantastic cafe serving all day breakfast, had the House Special and it was cooked fresh and came piping hot. Too much in the end and I couldn't finish it!

Such a brilliant place to have breakfast, lovely decor inside too.

I popped in just to quench my thirst. My partner had an appletizer and I had a coke zero. The staff were friendly and attentive. I did have a look at the menu even though we weren't eating this time and there was lots of options. Other peoples food looked nice and everyone seemed happy! It was clean and bright. I would come here for lunch if I was in Edinburgh again.

Excellent Breakfast, all day Breakfast available, very good service , and a very good menu choice, would highly recommend.

Nice quiet place to eat some late breakfast / early lunch. Friendly service & a lot of options to choose from. We ordered an all day breakfast, french toast with bacon & a baked potato with beans and cheese for our family. All were tasty. French toast was very filling. Overall good experience :)

Service was terrible the staff were very rude I don’t understand why you would open a business in a busy part of town and have staff that can’t speak a word of English, food wasn’t the best but could have been worse,

Sitio para tomar un típico desayuno irlandés. Tienes desde lo más light hasta lo más potente. El camarero es muy agradable y la comida está muy buena. El local es un poco pequeño pero muy animado. En nuestro caso repetimos más de un día porque merece la pena!

If you’re looking for a wonderful and affordable breakfast, try the cheesy egg croissant. I ordered it 2 days running since it was so delicious. Very kind wait staff and their toasties were fabulous too.

Absolutely shocking, incredibly cheap food, took over an hour for them to make it, couldn’t eat half of if it, Value smart price food. Honestly the worst fry up I’ve ever had for about £14!

Went in here at lunchtime as the overall rating on TripAdvisor was good. Ordered a fry up and egg & bacon on toast. We waited almost an hour for it to arrive, even though there were plenty of staff in the kitchen and no other orders ahead of us. Just when we thought we must have been forgotten, our food turned up, portions were meagre and quality dreadful. As others have said, the food is clearly from Lidl, it’s the cheapest possible items they can source. My partner left her meal unfinished, as did the family sat next to us. At nearly £30 for two, we would have been far better off going to the Wetherspoons up the road, where the food is basic but still an improvement on this muck. I do worry about the people who have rated the food here highly, as they must be eating a lot of terrible food!

Lovely Scottish breakfast good value for money with good service too

May need to rethink advertising that a meal is vegan the you can blatantly see the vegan items(falafel wrap and chips) cooked on a grill that’s grilling meat simultaneously whilst also handling meat between preparing the vegan meal without washing hands. And also the falafel and chips are both fried in the same frier as chicken fillets for the burgers. All in all disappointing practices from a restaurant that openly advertises the items as vegan

Very good choice and good service 👍

Great food! Fast service! Highly recommend, especially on a rainy day

Heel gezellig met een uitgebreid aanbod.

Polecam szkockie sniadanie.Bardzo smaczne ,warto sprobowac

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Nice size portion for the price. Just off the main street but worth it.

Great breakfast here with perfectly cooked bacon and amazing haggis 👌

Both the soup of the day potato leek and bourbon sauced wings were excellent. Lots of seating and music wasn't too loud. Great venue.

Lovely lunch just what we needed. Good friendly service. Superb coffee. Not expensive. Thanks very much

Very satisfying breakfast served by kind and friendly people on a Sunday morning. Got the vegetarian breakfast and the French toast along with warm drinks. Sufficient portions for both the belly and the mind. Nice and easy. Would recommend, especially for tourists new to the city.

Very clean, staff polite and friendly. Food was excellent. For a city centre cafe the prices were very fair, will recommend it and definitely go back.

A very comfortable and home feeling, especially for the old fashioned. Wonderful food and very cheap for the portions 10/10 🤍🕊️

Staff look unhappy and unfriendly, Hygiene is disgusting, Found hair in my breakfast and they never even apologised. just removed this item from the bill. We Walked out and are never going back.

Great Edinburgh breakfast spot! Fabulous service and great food. Always appreciate vegan options and the Rose Street Cafe did not disappoint.

Great spot for breakfast in the heart of Edinburgh on Rose Street! Quick service and great service. Reasonably priced.

We were looking for a breakfast place behind Princes Street at around 11 am. Most of the places on the street are restaurants that cater to lunch/dinner. After walking a bit, we came across Rose Street Cafe. It's a small place but was buzzing with customers. My criteria for a good place to eat is one that is busy, which is an indicator of its popularity. I tried their English Breakfast (I am still not brave enough to go for Scottish breakfast/haggis). The food was great.

跟朋友来爱丁堡旅游，在离开的火车前来这家餐馆吃了午饭，意面真的很不错！小店位于僻静的玫瑰街上，老板很友善！奶昔也很好喝！

Decided to go here for brunch as a nice treat for the end of our holiday,the food looked amazing and we were both looking forward to our brunch,the waitress took our order and we waited....and waited and after 3/4 hour we noticed other people arriving and getting served before us,we went to the counter to see where our order was and we were told the waitress forgot to put our order through...no apology whatsoever they couldnt have cared less so we walked out and found a great cafe further down the street

Absolutely awful ! Putting meat on a vegetarian breakfast is unforgivable. Mixed up meat sausage and haggis with veggie and put in wrong breakfast. When pointed out chef just smirked. Not good enough!

Lovely full English breakfast definitely recommend

Amazing food, great service. Couldn’t recommend more!

Es war sehr schlecht, der Burger hat nur aus Brot und Fleisch bestanden. Keine Sauce oder etwas anderes darauf. nicht zu empfehlen. Komplett überteuert auch noch … umgerechnet über 40€ für zwei Burgen und ein Getränk. Würde ich niemanden empfehlen

Lorne sausage & potato scone roll was delicious, and the fresh orange juice was perfect! I had breakfast here two years prior, and came back & ate here two mornings in a row because it was so good.

A very nice restaurant to have a delicious classic Scottish dinner in, the service was great, the food was great, and atmosphere was very fun. There is bar downstairs(which we didn’t go to) and an amazing restaurant portion on the second floor!

Asked no bacon on breakfast and still received it. Mediocre experience, not great, not bad.

Great coffee, try the Lorne sausage roll. Delicious.

Personnel très gentil et arrangeant ! Le cadre est vraiment très beau, de petits air du Canada. Nous avons pris des patates qui étaient vraiment très bonnes !

Great place for a breakfast. Everything was fresh.

Great food, lovely staff and fair prices.

Had only a coffee but it was really good

Family of six. Ate here both mornings for brunch because it was perfect for us. Shared adult potions between kids with no objection. Lovely ingredients. Nice coffee. Freshly prepared in kitchen beside table. Bustling and friendly.

Amazing Scottish breakfast, teas and coffees. I've been twice now and will keep going back. Great service and staff there too. Super friendly and helpful.

Lage gut, sehr nettes Personal, Preise ok. Das Essen war lecker und die Portion gross, wir mussten aber 40min darauf warten, sie haben aber auch die Nachfrage sehr freundlich reagiert. (fragt rechtzeitig nach, falls das euch auch mal passieren sollte)

Excelente servicio Buen café, buenos postres.

The Rose Street cafe is lovely a lot of nice cakes to eat and a menu with a lot of great goodies.Certainly worth a visit.And the owner is a nice person and his father and the coffee is lovely .

Woke up on our 2nd day in Edinburgh really craving a proper breakfast, quick search on google brought up Rose Street Cafe as it was only a couple doors down from where we were staying. The experience wasn't awful but didn't wow us. It was ok. Food was alright.

A lovely little cafe I was happy to fin out that they have all day breakfast menu as it was 11:40 am , and they have a nice selection of sandwiches . The breakfast and sandwiches all served fresh and warm .

Absolutely delicious breakfast. I had a bagel and my husband had a bacon and Lorne sausage roll. Coffee was great too

Nous nous sommes rendus dans ce restaurant pour un petit déjeuner. Cuisine de bonne qualité préparée sur place. Plusieurs pâtisseries faites « maison « . Un plus : le café est très bon. Par contre, prix un peu élevés juste pour un petit déjeuner

After more than 20 visits to Scotland, simply the best Scottish breakfast I have ever had!! Potato scone soft and fresh, Lorne (square) sausage delicate & tender. Egg cooked perfectly. Even the toast was a dream! Staff were friendly and service fast. Price was less than at my hotel around the corner. Eat here!!!

Great breakfast cafe Or restaurant, loved the coffee, really kind and attentive staff. Will be back, got the house breakfast. This place doesn’t jip you on the avocado great portion and was really fresh.
