Strumpets in Edinburgh, City of

This charming cafe, with welcoming staff, great coffee and moreish cakes is our first stop before the Rugby.

Bonjour, Nous venons à l'instant de faire une pause douceur au strumpets... Accueil vraiment chaleureux, ambiance cosi et la dégustation d'un très bon thé à l'orange accompagné d'une pâtisserie fait maison, une véritable tuerie !! À ne pas manquer 🥰

We with my husband accidentally found this place wondering around West End. We was greeted by a the owner who was a genuine friendly and happy lass. The place was cosy, the service was wonderful and the cakes and coffee were absolutely delicious! We’ll definitely come back!

We went to this little coffee shop twice and absolutely enjoyed our stay there! The coffee tastes great, the decoration is beautiful and the shop owner is incredibly friendly. Two thumps up!

I've been to this place several times and I love the service and the coffee. There is also a more original choice of cakes than most cafes in the area. Definitely worth a stop if you're around.

I'd been recommended this place on a number of occasions and it didn't disappoint! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich came with excellent popcorn and olives. The soup was also very good and came with oatcakes. We both enjoyed the plum cake. The cafe has a relaxed feel to it. We can't wait to return. .

Op de terugweg vanuit het centrum naar ons hotel, zagen we deze charmante plek. Lekker buiten in het zonnetje gezeten en genoten van de heerlijke groene thee, appelsap en overheerlijke lemon cake. De bediening was ook super vriendelijk, een aanrader !

Wir sind zufällig an dem Café vorbei gekommen und sind dann zum Frühstück geblieben. Die Kuchen sind super lecker und auch das Sandwich war hervorragend. Am besten ist aber der Kaffee. Der Espresso war der beste während meines gesamten Aufenthalts in Edinburgh. Service war auch super. Rundum empfehlenswert!

Just had strawberry and lemon cake which was delicious and tasty cappuccino. Also served tap water in decanter and glass. Very friendly and efficient staff. Will be back

Love this place. More expensive than some - but wonderful coffee and teas, a great atmosphere if you eat in and so very friendly. I'll be back - and already have been!

Perfect flavour in cold-brew coffee with attention to detail and timing. Delicious range of cakes and food. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the delightful owner/staff. Highly recommended for atmosphere and wonderful choices.

This coffee shop is so cute and lovely. The decor is so nice and we loved the coffee and the brownie! The lady who served us was so sweet and we can’t wait to come back!

My 12-year-old niece and I were staying in Edinburgh for 3 days and fortunately for us our Airbnb was directly across the street from this adorable cafe! I think we went there 4 or 5 times over the course of our stay and it was definitely our favorite place in Edinburgh! The owner was so friendly and welcoming! The drinks and food were also wonderful! The chai she serves is honestly the best chai I have ever had. And the presentation of all of her stuff is what my niece referred to as "Instagram-ready" lol. She has a selection of loafs and baked goods and we tried pretty much all of them over the course of our stay there! My personal favorite was the apple and lavender loaf. Absolutely to die for! This place was legitimately our favorite part of our trip to Edinburgh--a warm and welcoming place on a handful of cold and rainy days! I look forward to returning to this cafe next time I travel to Edinburgh!

We stop by this little shop one morning on our way walking into town. The owner was delightful, the coffee was delicious, and the baked goods were quite tasty. We were very glad that we made the stop. It was a great way to start our day.

Stumbled upon this gorgeous little cafe when walking around the city. Friendly staff. Fabulous carrot cake and impreccable service. I wish I had taken a book with me to cosy up on the one of the comfy blue chairs in the back room!

Enjoyed a superb iced coffee sitting outside in today's sunshine. Ingrida, the host is always delightfully friendly and welcoming to her many regulars.

A small cafe, furnished in a conservative/homely way, welcoming staff and good service. A bit more costly than most cafes but compensated by generous portions of the tasty cakes and soup. Environment will suit those looking for a quiet place to meet af riend(s). Good wifi.

Have popped in a few times when I’ve been at West End and always a real treat. Service is friendly, and coffee is great. Water and a taster of one of the lovely baked loaves is a nice touch. The place has a cute vintage vibe. A lovely business to support!

Just lovely. Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely tea and cakes. So relaxed, so stylish and well, nice.

Wir sind zufällig in diese kleine Straße gekommen und wurden in Strumpets herzlich willkommen geheißen. Tolle Tees, super Kaffees und tolle süße Versuchungen. Sehr behagliche Einrichtung. Absolute Empfehlung!

Finally visited Strumpets with my boyfriend after walking past numerous times & admiring from the other side of the street. We were not disappointed. The decor is lovely, the lady who served us was very friendly & funny, coffee was delicious (we are coffee snobs!) and quite frankly the cherry and almond brownie was to die for!

Popped in for a pre-shopping pick me up. Do fab coffee & the homemade cakes are a change from the usual run of the mill offerings at other places. Lovely stylish touches & a warm welcome makes Strumpets several notches above the competition. Well done.

I’ve followed Strumpets on Instagram and loved the coffee images and a trip to the capital meant I could finally check it all out for real. Our visit was a treat from start to finish - lovely upbeat ladies, excellent coffee and apple/mint tea, and the blueberry, lemon and thyme cake was perfection. I approve of the quirky seating, the interesting decor, and the welcoming ambience. Delighted to find a reason to be back in Edinburgh so I can revisit.

I was early for a business meeting in the area do popped into Strumpets for a quick coffee. What a very civilised environment: indeed, as a Glaswegian, have to say that Strumpets is ‘very Edinburgh’. It has a very quirky interior: I sat through the back and the delightful server brought me a jug of minted water to accompany my delicious flat white.

Dropped in for a cup of coffee and got much more than expected. The coffee was great, mint water bottle and peace of cake served as bonus. Small and cousy, friendly atmosphere, books.

Ingrida and the girls at Strumpets make me amazing coffee week after week as I go in en route to work. They always serve with a genuine smile and a chat and put me in a good mood every time I go in. I love the coffee, it’s fruity and very much to my taste. Genuine ‘home bakes’ too with quality ingredients and no nasties. A lovely spot for a coffee stop!

Happened to spot this lovely cafe after a Festival Recital at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral. Fantastic soups came with home made oatcakes; & my beef Sandwich was accompanied by olives & popcorn. Even the tap water came in a crystal jug with mint.

I got a coffee and cake, quite expensive for what they were and the coffee was a little bit too bitter for my tastes. I wanted to use my laptop to send a few emails but didn't have time because as soon as I was finished the waitress told me I'd have to purchase something else or vacate the table. I guess every cafe has their own approach.

This light, airy, peaceful café belies its rather odd name. Attentive pleasant and efficient staff and decent menu. We'll worth a detour for a breather from the excesses of the festival!

What a charming coffee stop . We happened upon this coffee stop whilst waiting on someone arriving at Haymarket Station. The coffee was excellent and the cakes were all homemade . The brownie was particularly good and instead of a standard coffee biscuit a small piece of specialty cake was served with our drinks. On saturday this happened to be Bara Brith. The service was very friendly and the environment nice and relaxed. They also have a book club once a month .......... I could move to Edinburgh just to be able to join in here.

Amazing staff and really good products. We love the local and the way she made our coffees. Thanks!!!

Upmarket cafe offering good coffee, very nice cakes and tasty quiches. It isn;t the cheapest place I've been to, but don't let that put you off tryng for yourself.

Absolutely brilliant. A calm environment with unique, delicious treats and steller drinks. The staff is very welcoming and it's a great place to spend an afternoon chatting away!

Descubrí el ligar adentrandome por las callejuelas de la ciudad.

We stumbled across this cafe back in December - we wanted somewhere local and cosy and this turned out to be the perfect place. We had the whole cafe to ourselves, which is beautifully decorated, and opted for a hot drink each and a slice of cake. Everything was amazing, and well priced for the quality and service.

We visited several times over the course of two weeks while we were in Edinburgh. The location is just off Princes St by the West End light rail stop on near Haymarket. It's a cozy shop that never felt crowded or over busy like all of the cafes do on in Haymarket.

This was the best coffee that I found while visiting Edinburgh. I tried others but in the end I came back to Strumpets for their coffee.

Lovely coffee, strong and hot. Service was quick, friendly and welcoming. I'll be stopping by again soon!

It´s an experience of the wonderful kind.

I really enjoyed my time in this great cafe earlier today. The young lady owner was very hospitable and the place is spotless and beautifully decorated. Hot chocolate was great and prices were perfect. I'd have happily paid more. We had a room at the back for a meeting and this was great for what we needed.

This is out of the way, and easy to miss. However, I was glad I didn't. The staff were friendly and thoughtful. The coffee was superb, if a little pricey, and the cake was tasty.It is a very quiet, relaxed kind of place and I was able to enjoy a peaceful time to myself reading my book without feeling hassled or rushed.

We met the server on the steps outside as we all engaged with the ginger cat patrolling the street. Her friendly personality encouraged us to return a little later for a light lunch and we discovered this very individual, very comfortable laid back coffee house. The soup was really flavoursome and the quiche creamy but light. Coffee was served as either dark or light roast and was excellent. If we have to find a downside, the chocolate chip banana loaf could have been a little more moist. A totally delightful experience.

Cute little place and lovely lady who served us but over £3 for a coffee and same for a sub standard muffin. Many other places with better coffee and food at more realistic prices

The staff are exceptional, put you at ease and brighten your day, without being pushy.

I visited Strumpets for the first time today and enjoyed the coffee immensely and the warm welcome received. It has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere and I look forward to visiting again.

Stumbled across Strumpets and was very impressed. Great soup and lovely cakes. Staff so so friendly and dog friendly. I just love this place, but don't want to share it....

We came across this lovely little coffee shop whilst strolling through the West End on the way back to our hotel. The decor is quirky with great light fittings made from glass decanters. All of the crockery was lovely with no run of the mill white china in sight. We had some delicious soup served with homemade oatcakes and even our hot drinks were served with a little piece of fruit cake.

I stumbled across this lovely oasis late on my first day in Edinburgh and my oh my what a find! The place itself is clean, stylish, contemporary and cosy. The owners are very friendly and welcoming but unlike many places, not in your face. The drinks and food served is first class although I have to admit I only had a cappuccino and a selection of their beautiful home made cakes. I say a selection because I loved it so much in there I visited again the following two days.

A lovely little coffee shop with a lovely range of tea, coffee, cake and some savouries. The staff are so friendly, you feel like you've known them for years.

I stopped in for a cup of tea. Had the lovely Moroccan Apple & Mint tea. Just what I needed after walking around town all morning.

Excellent coffee and cake and they like dogs. A real double-whammy. Our new first choice for a west end coffee fix.

My friend and I stumbled upon this well-presented café on our second day, and we went back a great many times. The proprietress is one of the most welcoming people we had the pleasure of meeting during our trip, quick with a smile in the morning (despite the fact that we turned-up only moments after she'd opened the door!) and always ready with some sound local advice and a joke.

Call in today just on the off chance and took a coffee which was really good along with such friendly attentive service. Which is so refreshing to see where if you go to the main stream places you are just another faceless face! If you happen to pass then try it. .

Every time I've been in here I've been warmly welcomed. Nice comfy seats round the back to enjoy coffee. I've been in here for business meetings so suitable for that.

I stopped into Strumpets for a snack and a tea late one August morning. The owner and hostess could not be more welcoming, friendly and helpful. The cakes and quiches are top-notch - the menu changes daily - and the coffee and tea selection, excellent. There is a small and warm dining room in the back as well - don't miss it. Highly recommended and perfect on a rainy Edinburgh afternoon.

Auf unserer ersten Schottlandreise waren wir positiv überrascht, dass man in diesem wunderschönen Land überwiegend Kaffee trinkt! Wer hätte das gedacht....

The atmosphere is great-clean cut style but cozy and quite.

Just walking into the restaurant is relaxing and refreshing ... unlike most coffee places, like S***bucks, the atmosphere is quiet and reserved, without being stuffy. And the coffee - wonderful! I have no doubt that the coffee machine cost more than my (late model) car, and with their ministrations, it was worth every farthing!

Not my first time in Strumpets so it's about time I wrote a review. I recommend it very highly. The decor is understated yet opulent, the mood is nice and relaxed, the cakes (home made, I'm told) are always great, and the coffee is the best. It's why I keep coming back!

Strumpets is a must visit if you are in Edinburgh. In everyway this place is heavenly. The cakes are so delicious, the tea performs miracles, well it cured my hangover, and I love the coffee, which for the first time in my life i drink without sugar as it's perfectly sweet enough.

If you're on the hunt for an alternative to the obquitipus coffee house, then Strumpets is your next move. Run by Ingrida Dornbrook, this peaceful haven tucked away off Shandwick Place is more than just coffee. Herbal tea, Jersey cream, and a smorgasbord of cakes & scones to tempt even the most discerning pallette.

Lovely wee place with a great relaxed vibe. Great coffee and the Tchai Ovna tea is on point. Get involved people.

Strumpets is a delightful looking place. However the coffee is tremendously overpriced. For just over a mouthful of coffee 3 pounds is way too expensive. The waitress took a long time to prepare my order because not only had she made my coffee too cold but the previous customers to cold as well. I will not be returning.

A real wee haven in the West End. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and love that has gone into selecting every element to help create this beautiful wee space. Chic and elegant, yet not pretentious in any way; it is the sort of place you just want to stay and relax. I love the selection of loose leaf teas and the cakes are *almost* too beautiful to eat. My friend's coffee (Made with Jersey milk, it would have been rude not to) was, apparently "The best mocha EVER!".

I've been to Strumpets on a number of occasions since it opened. The cafe is nicely decorated, the service is friendly and my tea and baking are always excellent.

The place is cute, and the lady who served me was very friendly. The cakes and pastries looked good and everything looked very clean.

I've been in a couple of times to see what it's like, I'm always interested in new places opening in the West End. The place itself is quite nice inside, bright and open with plenty of space around the seats. The cakes are quite nice and the coffee is pretty average if I'm honest which is disappointing for one of the most expensive coffee shops in the West End. They advertise their Artisan Roast beans, but this certainly isn't Artisan Roast standard of coffee.

Came here on Valentines day with my boyfriend for a tea break and were met by friendly staff with an excellent selections of tea's and coffees as well as baking. The customer service was outstanding and the staff were extraordinarily helpful. Will definitely visit here again the next time we are in Edinburgh.
