The clock cafe, edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Don't ever bring Gordon Ramsay here. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but the food at this place must have seriously gone downhill. How do you mess up a cheeseburger? The beef patty was something procured from the lowest discount grocery. Full of fat and gristle. You could tell it was one of those thin-flat, perfectly circular patties with 90 degree edges. My friend got the French Toast (how do you screw up French Toast?). By making it so sweet he couldn't finish it. He's not a picky guy. My plate came with fries which were tasteless. I normally don't waste food but could not stomach the disappointment. Only redeeming feature was a flat white for £3.00. Please take an honest look at your food and reevaluate the ingredients and preparation.

Amazing coffee & Great customer service

Was lovely latte and delicious fruit scone with clotted cream and jam mmm very tasty so totally recommend a visit to anyone finding themselves in shore area of leith

Very yummy. Service very friendly. Facilities clean but rustic. Pancakes are very good.

- Cheap - Big Portions - Friendly Staff - Local Business BIG UP DALRY

I had a wonderful traditional breakfast, the atmosphere and hospitality of the cafe are amazing, you should try it :)

My favourite place to eat in Edinburgh, still got great prices after all these years

Great vegetarian English breakfast

Perfect food, nice staff, great atmosphere! One of the best breakfast and panini I’ve ever had!

Quick service very friendly staff and good fresh quality food

The fact a breakfast included a salad and fresh fruit juice is a great touch. The staff are get friendly and the proprietor could not be more welcoming. Great tables outside if the weather suits.

Great people lovely atmosphere fun and reasonable prices 👍

The lovely lady working here went across the road just to accomodate me and get gluten free bread. Thank you so much.

A hidden gem, just a short walk from Haymarket Station. I had the traditional breakfast, fantastic for only £8! They don't charge service, so remember to leave a tip!

Loved our visit, definitely going back

Fortifying brunch options with lots of flavour. Great wat to start the weekend.

Welcoming staff and a brilliant Americano coffee - good and strong. Breakfast options are varied and portions generous.

Great wee cafe. Always nice and friendly.

Cosy café with good choice of pastries and food. Coffee was hot!!!! Honey and walnut cake to be recommended and also cinnamon swirl.

Awesome little place, staff were super friendly and welcoming. I had the veggie breakfast which was really tasty and good quality food. Pretty big plate for a reasonable price too, it also came with a glass of juice included (£8.50). Definitely worth a visit and your money!

Very beautiful café with a really tasty selection for breakfast. The turkish breakfast was delicious. The staff is very kind, I really enjoyed it.

Nice coffee Shame they let the gents use the ladies toilets downstairs 👃👃👃🤮

Has a great breakfast. Food very good. Service speedy efficient and welcoming. Thanks to all.

Lovely place lovely staff lovely food

Staff are lovely, reasonable prices and very clean

Nice place very good service and food thank you

All round great place,food and value

I ate here every morning when visiting from the states and really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The owner and the rest of the staff were so kind and attentive. I got the Turkish breakfast with a mocha latte every morning and I really enjoyed it. The amount of food for the cost was great! I already miss it.

Food was okay. Nothing special, but good for the cost. Staff was very casual and bathroom was a little dodgy, but a great little place to grab breakfast!

The breakfast was delicious, the staff really friendly and they had an alternative for cow milk. We enjoyed starting our days there, definitely can recommend.

Excellent service and food served

Lovely place for having brunch for a reasonable price. The interior is very nice and welcoming although we dined outside. The exterior on the other hand could be improved. Also it's a rather busy area so I would definitely recommend to go inside. Overall the food was good and very reasonable priced. The coffee was excellent. Very kind staff!

we had the traditional breakfast and it was great for a reasonable price.

Full breakfast au top avec jus de pomme ou orange inclus, ingrédients frais, succulents et gentillesse de la serveuse et propriétaire. Possibilité de manger â l’intérieur ou en terrasse. Merci pour votre accueil, nous reviendrons si nous repassons à Édimbourg avec grand plaisir.

Popped in for a coffee and a snack pre Jazz Fest at St Brides Community Centre. The espresso was great and the honey cake amazing. Definitely worth the calories. Service with a smile from a friendly, efficient lass. Highly recommended.

This was right near our holiday rental and was the first place we tried. Not a lot of options for our son with food allergies but we all ate. It wasn’t the best meal but definitely not the worst. lol The owner was so friendly and welcoming and we were thankful to have found food so quickly.

Lekkere Turkse ontbijt gegeten! Vriendelijke bediening.

Very disappointed with our visit to The Clock Cafe today. I ordered a ham and cheese panini but left most of it as the cheese had a very strange taste (my husband tried it too and agreed with me). When payment was taken my husband pointed out that my food didn't taste right and had to be left, but was still charged the full price regardless. They didn't seem concerned that the cheese could have been off or that it was inedible, and by their own admission they didn't know what kind of cheese the kitchen used. Disappointing service and food. Will not be back.

Great local cafe. Nothing fancy but good food and good value.

Welcoming staff and tasty food!

Very nice and tasty breakfast options with smiling staffs . No need to mention the well decorated place which is clear from the photos. Worth visiting the place once in a while.

Nice full breakfast, nice coffee, good prices!

Really nice breakfast good price. Nice staff. Access- lots of steps, we sat downstairs so dont know it there is an accessible loo upstairs

A reasonably nice place, with friendly staff. Didn't think much to the breaded chicken bbq wrap I ordered. Was served with salad and chips, however the salad in the wrap was limp and didn't seem fresh. Seating downstairs was quite cold and had an unpleasant smell. Not against giving it a second try but this first impression doesn't give me confidence.

Had lunch here last week and it was lovely! Had the chicken ceasar salad, thoroughly enjoyed it, (maybe just a bit too much dressing on the salad for my liking though)

Worth a wee visit when down for the rugby for breakfast

Really cozy spot and had lovely friendly staff seems very reasonably priced especially given the cost of living crisis were currently in

Always popular with the regulars. Highly recommend.

Good place for breakfast, good value food and nice coffee ☕

Just popped in whilst heading to appointment. Lovely place. Great service. Excellent food. Will definitely visit again.

Adorable little cafe near haymarket, wonderful paninis as well as dinner type foods such as burgers. Staff very friendly and helpful, coffee tasted great and will continue to come here whenever I’m looking for a cafe afternoon out for lunch

Excellent breakfast, large coffees, friendly staff and a calm but warm atmosphere.

Excellent coffee and very friendly staff. Feels homely and laid back. Nothing out of the ordinary, just exactly what you want for your full breakfast.

I ordered the brie, bacon and cranberry panini. When it came out it had lots of salad and chips , which I wasn't expecting. Worth a visit

Amazing breakfast place, our go to every single morning. The coffee here is one of the best I have had, cozy sitting and wonderful staff.

Best place for lunch in our area. Reasonable prices, tasty and fresh ingredients. The staff, owner and his kids are such a lovely people creating the atmosphere of the place.

Staying in the Hub by Premier Inn, and went on the hunt for a good honest British Breakfast. A quick walk, and I found the Clock Cafe. A warm and friendly welcome. A strong double espresso, and a hearty breakfast. A relaxed atmosphere, with time to read the papers, and enjoy the free wifi. Will be back tomorrow..

Always good, best coffee in Dalry and ideal for a early evening pint.

Food was good but beer was warm

Really nice friendly service and a cracking breakfast. Coffee brilliant too.

Just popped in for a breakfast roll and coffee, so didnt really look at the rest of the menu. The staff are nice, the food prompt and hot , coffee good. Good value at 2.50 a roll £3 for coffee

I've been in Edinburgh for three weeks now with an intense caffeine addiction and this is my absolute favorite coffee. The flavors of their espresso are strong and bold, but not too much to handle. This cafe also has a delicious lemon tart, which is definitely worth a try if you like citrus flavored desserts. They have the most adorable downstairs seating area, which is perfect for a quiet morning with a book. The menu also has a number of great full breakfast meals, which are also very reasonably priced. When in Edinburgh, be sure to check this place out!

Went in for a latte, simple request. The cafe was a cute little place, I was told they only serve one size since I asked for a very large cup and then explained you get 2 shots, I asked for another shot. Great service! On waiting I looked at their cakes, who can resist a cake huh? Well, they had a lemon tart and I also saw a layered honey and lemon cake, reminded me of a pancake cake. So I bought one of each. The girl also recommended I put the layered cake in the microwave for 20 seconds if I was going home which I was. Such a fantastic surprise to have the cakes in the evening and find they were absolutely delicious! The lemon tart; just the right amount of citrus flavours, sweet with a hint of bitterness in the background. The pastry was crumbly but with a slight crunch, not often you get this unless it’s a speciality patisserie (normally by the time you eat it, the pastry is soft and rather soggy…not this one). The layered honey and lemon cake was divine! It was very thin sponge cake with this beautiful delicate buttery creamy filling between each sponge layer, with a sweetness but slight tangy lemon undertones…perfection! Very much not for sharing, at least I didn’t want to. Oh, I should mention the coffee was good too, nice and strong and full of flavour. Didn’t quite catch if they make everything in house or not, however, I’ll definitely be back!

The Clock Cafe has something on the menu for everyone. From all-day breakfasts to cakes to a great selection of salads. My table had a goats cheese and roasted veg salad, avocado salad and a croissant and scone. All were delicious. What really impressed me were the staff - they were so friendly and helpful. There's also outdoor seating. Would highly recommend!

Met a friend here this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the menu. We had lovely fresh salads and a bottle of house wine - really nice and the service was very friendly. Will definitely go back for a brekkie roll and coffee.

Came here twice for breakfast while staying in the area. Had the vegetarian breakfast and the Turkish breakfast. Good food at very good price and great coffee. Really welcoming staff. Nice atmosphere and not too far from Haymarket Station.

What a find, fab coffee and great freshly prepared food. Staff are very pleasant and chatty, if busyness allows. And well priced.

The best avocado,salmon on toast I have ever had. A simple dish, but not so simple on the taste buds. It wasn't over or under powering it was perfect. The salmon was absolutely divine. Presentation superb. I would of happily paid double! Its a must visit for foodies.

Lovely place and amazing service! Thank you

Popped in for a quick coffee, stayed for more. Sat downstairs and it was so welcoming we stayed for much longer, the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and we all ended up eating. This is definitely my new favourite coffee shop.

Price is really good good cake excellent stuff really polite better then all Starbucks around here.definitely enjoy it.

Excellent place to eat great choice on menu and lovely staff well worth a visit

Lovely cooked breakfast. Staff great as always.

Really good cafe, go regularly for their great coffee. Food has always been good when ordered. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Prefer to support local business and this is a great find.

Perfectly pleasant and a nice cosy venue on a rather blustery day

I have tried almost every thing on the menu at The Clock Cafe, and it’s always been outstanding. This cafe is a hidden gem! Restaurant class food for very reasonable prices, highly recommended!

Really nice place to go for breakfast brunch or lunch Everytime I've been here they do an absolutely amazing full fry up and they have a great Latte 👍🏻 not bad for about £10 all in 10/10

Lovely cafe only a few mins walk from Haymarket Train Station. The food and the service was excellent. Prices are very reasonable. I look forward to going back.

Good lunch menu. Always good, tasty food.

Nice service and plesent place to sit

Very friendly and dog friendly too. Food excellent

Best Turkish breakfast in Edinburgh. Amazing, friendly atmosphere. Really recommend.

Best Vegetarian Breakfast and an aesthetic place to have breakfast at

Nice little place. Food was good.

The food is reasonably priced but you do get what you pay for, the food is VERY average when it comes to flavour and quality of the meat is quite poor. Would only recommend if you needed something to fill up on and aren’t fussed about the taste.

Popped in for a quick salad and juice on a sunny Saturday - sat outside with our dog who was given a bowl of water. Very tasty salad - excellent, friendly service. Good value for money. Enjoyed watching the world go by sitting on the corner of Dalry Rd and Orwell Terrace.

Great service, menu, experience. All good

I'm local to the cafe it's well liked by locals. Great service fantastic food great experience I come back often because of this.

The staff are really friendly and they do a great coffee.

It was a true pleasure to enjoy a vegetarian breakfast at The Clock Café this morning; a quiet, calm atmosphere, super clean and comfortable. I'm really not the type of person who photographs their plate, but the presentation of this breakfast was truly divine, and I simply couldn't wait to tuck in! Obscenely tasty, and sufficiently sized to keep me going until late afternoon! Waitress, chef and staff all kind and considerate too! 'Mon the Clock!! :)

Stopped off for a coffee, very friendly staff, the gentleman even helped me out as I required a plaster which was no trouble, very clean and well maintained cafe. Highly recommended.

Staff where nice made you feel welcome. Cakes are lovely.

Had a great soup of the day and cup of coffee ! Owners really baby friendly

Go to this place all the time. The staff are amazing and really go the extra mile, simply just can’t recommend it enough!

Affordable prices and lovely food. Also the staff is very friendly and the service quick.

WORST FISH AND CHIPS IN THE WORLD!!!!

I was there summer 2019 with my mother and we really loved it there. The clock is a lovely cafe with a nice downstairs room. The food was good and the stuff was very friendly. We where three days in Edinburgh and every morning we went there to eat. I also wanted to thank you for making my first day in scotland and my first breakfast that good.💞

Very tasty wraps. Good amount of food for the cost

A lovely cafe with good food and friendly and helpful staff.

A nice local cafe, does very good breakfasts.
