The Coffee Mill Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Really delicious toasties and soup and chips!!! And the server lady was absolutely lovely and such a good host. Highly recommend this place. such a warm and cozy atmosphere and good prices!

A few weeks ago my family and I went to this place for lunch on our last day in Edinburgh and it was perfect. Incredible food, beautiful place and very very friendly workers. A highly recommended place:))))

I went to The Coffee Mill Cafe this morning for breakfast on my last day of holidays here... the best 'goodbye' Edinburgh could give me! The waiter was so nice, cheerful and really puts people in a good mood! The food was delicious and the place vibes were very cozy. Will definitely visit again next time I'll be in Edinburgh! 🙏

Anyone who wants to treat themselves should spend time in this place! Starting the day with their breakfast is a wonderful experience: the dishes are unforgettable, the staff is attentive and kind, the place offers an unparalleled serenity. After this morning, we'll be back tomorrow too!

Friendly staff, service with a smile, good and simple food and a lot of choices. Would recommend this to everyone wanting a bite to eat!

Great place with very friendly staff, and delicious breakfast. Very clean and nice atmosphere. Recommended!

The staff was very kind and accommodating. The interior design was nice, the vibe was lovely, and the food was delicious.

Flawless! We chose Coffee Mill Cafe for its proximity to our Airbnb, and thanks to Google reviews, and we were delighted! If you are looking for the ideal place for a real “Scottish breakfast”, go for it with your eyes closed. For Frenchies who prefer sweet breakfasts, they also have a wide choice, including homemade cakes. Big plus for the service, the waitresses were very attentive and attentive. (For example, my choice of dish included balsamic vinegar, and the waitress pointed this out to me when ordering).

Scrambled eggs and toast were great with a really hot Soy Latte! We were very lucky to get a table for two, 10min later full.

The breakfast was delicious, affordable and the staff was extremely friendly... When my pregnant wife asked me to have solid scrambled eggs without any liquid left in them, they took the plate with them and heated the scrambled eggs for a while... Without any major problems.. Thank you for that

Very nice and cozy place Food is very nice Staff is amazing, it was my first visit to Edinburgh, me and my friends were having a bad first night, unable to get to the flat we booked, we went there to wait for agency reply and when we told them what happened to us, they took extra care of us and kept the cafe open until we got a reply and could finally get to the flat there was two lovely ladies working that night and they were really kind, if I ever go back to Edinburgh I will definitely visit this cafe again.

Great place to have brunch. Friendly staff, excellent food, reasonable price.

Note: if you go too early, some items will not be available! We were limited to the Breakfast and Morning Rolls sections - the wraps and paninis were unfortunately not available at the time we went. A very cosy cafe for breakfast / brunch. They serve all kinds of cafe food that will fill your tummy for the day. Ambience was great as well! The full Scottish breakfast was delightful - very flavourful and generous portion sizes. The haggis in particular was very tasty! The morning roll was actually just a bun with fillings, which we thought the name was a little misleading. Great brunch option as well for smaller eaters, as the ingredients are probably similar to those used in the full breakfast menu. Smoothie was also very refreshing and enjoyable.

He has delicious Scottish porridge

We really liked this place! Highly Great food and great service. For me, 5 stars would be "top drawer first class gourmet". This wasn't that, But it was excellent nonetheless. Highly recommend!

It was a good choice going to the Coffee Mill Cafe. Food was tasty and reasonably priced, milk alternatives were available and free water waiting on the table. The highlight though was my waitress - very friendly, attendive and a great help getting some orientation at the Fringe Festival. The show she recommended was great!

Extremely charming place with great food and wonderfull funny staff. Can definitely recommend wholeheartedly!

There is only one thing that surpasses their breakfast and that is the friendliness and kindness of the girls who served us.

I went here for breakfast solo and it was very tasty! So many delicious options to choose from. I got the Full British Breakfast and had two cappuccinos. The coffee is excellent as well! Very charming cafe. The staff are friendly and gave me some great tips for navigating the city and free things to check out. I wish I had found out about it sooner in my trip to eat breakfast there again.

Cute little café, great breakfast and also delicious dinner, very nice service and good price/performance ratio

The staff is super kind, I got an amazing Scottish breakfast with haggis, wow, the flavours were amazing. Definitely recommended for a breakfast/lunch

Great food in a cozy little shop!

Such a tasty coffee and nice atmosphere! :)

Very nice cafe with a great breakfast. The Full Scottish Breakfast was really great and also had a fair price. The staff is also very friendly. Absolute recommendation!

Small family run cafe with super friendly and accommodating service. Food came out quick even though they were quite busy.

A small family restaurant that has excellent food. Staff is very friendly.

We had a fantastic meal/snack at the coffee mill. One of the few places open till 11pm for drinks and food. Kasia was a super hostess and Amanda made some fantastic food. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Kasia and Amanda x

Very friendly staff and great service . Regular and vegan latte is amazing very quality coffee. Staffs are kind enough to make menu choices and vegan alternatives. A must visit for coffee .

Excellent place, very nice and efficient team, excellent food! We came 3 times within 4 days! 😊😊

Very friendly, very tasty, highly recommended.

Very friendly staff. Lovely place.

They are adorable ladies, so kind and sweetheart heart,the place is amazing ,mocha is fabulous,and food is delicious 😍😍

Very nice spot to have lunch when you’re in Edinburgh. The girls that worked there were super nice and chatty, love that! They served baked potatoes which I’ve wanted to try for the longest time. I had the one with spicy chicken and cheese, it was very tasty. I would have preferred if the potato had been fluffed up a bit before the addition of the toppings but that’s just personal preference. The beans and cheese on toast was very tasty as well. Would definitely recommend this spot!

We were very pleased with our experience at the Coffee Mill. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was tasty.

Lovely experience at this cafe. The staff were attentive and kind. I got the full vegetarian breakfast platter and it was delightful. Reasonable pricing for the amount of food you get.

best full Scottish breakfast in Edinburgh! super busy little cozy cafe, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Massive thankyou to Renata- you made my visit very special!

The food was very good but more importantly - the service was amazing. We came with our 10 months baby and the staff was so friendly and kind to us and him. They really went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you! We will definitely go to there again!

Small excellent cafe a short walk from Edinburgh Castle. Super quick and friendly service. Highly the Scottish Breakfast.

Good food, very friendly service, good selection on the menu. A good place for breakfast

Nice and cosy, but it gets busy in summer

Very friendly service, excellent and fresh salads in a cosy ambiance.

Super nice staff and the breakfast was really good and reasonably priced. Only thing is the eggs were a bit bland but you could always add some salt yourself.

Food was delicious, the servers were kind and they were responsive to small changes we asked for. So nice we went there twice!

Top notch cafe, suitably ticked all of our Full Scottish Breaksfast needs.

Such a cute little place with great breakfast options (all day) and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Super place, very friendly and nice coffee with delicious cake!

My friend and I had been traveling since 4 in the morning from London. We landed here with all of our luggage. The waitresses kindly helped us settle in and were super friendly. We had smoothies and bagels, which were fresh and hit the spot. This little cafe also has the cleanest restroom ever. The vibes are cozy, clean, and chill. The staff were attentive but never rushed us. If I lived in Edinburgh, I would be a regular here.

Excellent service, with a lot of warmth and dedication. The food is delicious and they have good prices. But the highlight is the kindness of everyone who works there. Highly recommended

A brilliant little cozy coffee shop in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. We had breakfast here twice in May 2024 and left each time with a smile and a very satisfied feeling. The typical Scottish breakfast and all other breakfast variants were super delicious. Plus either coffee, smoothies, tea, whatever your heart desires. Who would also like homemade cake? Everything prepared and served with a lot of love. The staff super friendly. When we come back it will be again our breakfast coffee shop, that's for sure! Thanks a lot from germany!

Perfect place for our breakfast. Service is very lovely. Very welcoming. Food is tasty.

The carrot cake and the Victorian cake is a must ! Loved the place and the coffee ! loved the service too very friendly and welcoming

A great little cafe. The food was delicious and the wait staff were great. One even called my user a taxi so he could get to the golf course.

We had breakfast here today and we love it! The waitress is so nice!!!! Many times I am embarrassed to speak English because I think I am terrible at it and the girls have been super understanding and nice. The food is spectacular, but I am left with the treatment they have given us. Raise their salary!

Great Food. Haggis warp was fabulous 👍👍👍

My family ate here two lunches in a row, since everyone was so happy the first day. Food was delicious and fresh. Servers were lovely. Would come back when we are back in Edinburgh!

Fantastic little find, off the main tourist strip, yet only a 5 min walk from the castle!! Super friendly staff, great food! and the haggis was wonderful! Highly recommend.

Good breakfast. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. The coffee however 😬 unfortunately tasted very very burnt and bitter—sorta like earwax (I was a curious child). I would recommend they change their coffee honestly.

Great little place off the beaten path yet close to everything with great food. Fabulous staff, excellent service.

genuinely such good food. such a quaint cute cafe. I got full scottish breakfast, earl grey tea, and topped it all off with a slice of double chocolate cake. the staff was incredibly kind and sweet. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

This was such a cute cafe, it had really nice servers with a reasonable wait time. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the Scottish porridge (the amount of fruit they put on top was amazing, it was delicious and filling). Would come back again!

Had a lovely breakfast and wonderful service from Jade. Highly recommend!

The people are absolutely lovely and so is the food :)

Wow. What a beautiful little cafe. The food was delicious. I had the Scottish breakfast. Highly recommend. The staff there were attentive and kind. Really enjoyed my meal here.

Nice and tasty. Very friendly service. 5 Stars! Thank you. :)

Great family owned cafe perfect for travelers looking for a good Scottish breakfast tons of variety and great service

Very nice, courteous staff, good local breakfast.

What a lovely and welcoming place to stop for breakfast. The food is delicious.

You know you are in a good restaurant when you are welcomed with a genuine smile and a warm acknowledgment that they will serve you in a min. I wanted an English breakfast less a few items, they could have charged me the full amount but the waitress said I'll charge you for the lite version whilst still giving me a full plate. This shows they care more about happy customers than profit first. The waitress was genuinely interested in customers, she engaged with customers about their travels etc. Food was great.

This cafe is a must visit in Edinburgh. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff are super welcoming and kind. I went there on my first day of visiting Edinburgh and friendly staff member Jade provided pristine hospitality and gave me a list of recommendations for Edinburgh. The coffee here is of high quality too! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Very nice place, tasty food and gentle people ☺️

Really sweet and cozy cafe. They do get busy with a small queue at times but the staff do a great job at managing it and allocating tables + giving wait times. Service was quick, and despite them being busy we never felt rushed which was lovely. Had the full Scottish breakfast which was hearty but not a huge amount so you don't leave feeling stuffed. I had a flat white which wasn't brilliant but it was nice enough. Staff were so lovely, a real credit to the cafe. Would definitely go back.

Very friendly atmosphere, excellent service and brilliant food! Had a lovely Scottish Breakfast there and it was the best I’ve ever had! Delicious coffee too!

Lovely breakfast! Very nice with great service. The smoothies were wonderful

Such a nice place. Super sweet waitresses. REALLY nice breakfast and smoothies. We visited two days in a row. Will definitely come back!

Ce café est connu pour son excellent accueil et ses délicieux breakfast. Je confirme que cette réputation est bien méritée et vous conseil cette endroit, à quelques pas du célèbre GrassMarket.

Accueil souriant et serveuses avenantes, vous serez servis rapidement, différents choix pour tous, pas cher et surtout très bon

Cute little place with great service and delicious breakfast. It was the perfect start for my day of walking and exploring Edinburgh. The inside is cozy and with a very friendly vibe. The dishes are tasty and just about the right size, so they don’t leave you all bloated and tried. However, i had enough energy to walk about 20 km afterwards to the different ends of the city thanks to their haggis.

The food here is amazing, so comforting and a wide selection. Amazing coffee, even kinder staff. I came here every morning for my three day trip and had an amazing experience each time. If I could come here everyday I would !

We had breakfast today from Coffee Mill Cafe. Everything from the food, the decor to the service was outstanding. This is a family run shop. Their love for food shows up in the quality you experience there.

Cozy cafe with friendly staff and lovely food.

What a lovely little cafe this is. Very friendly staff, lots of beautiful Scottish smiles and chat. Fantastic Scottish breakfast and a coffee, served quickly and efficiently. A bit cramped on seating, but definitely worth visiting. Thank you guys. P.S fantastic music being played, very enjoyable, Deep Purple on the bagpipes, just awesome.

It was a cozy place with nice vibe and polite people (:

Looked for somewhere this morning that had black pudding, potato scone, and haggis all included. Reasonably priced compared to most places. The service was great, polite and friendly staff. Loved the food, all I'd recommend is they should serve the Scottish square sausages, but the food overall was great and not over filling. Just the right portion without being heavy.

We have had a powerful Scottish breakfast, wrapped with excellent attention and kindness. If you are nearby, don't miss it...

Quaint little cafe with varied and delicious breakfast choices. Coffee was excellent and the staff was efficient and super welcoming.

Very native, delicious food, excellent service. All very rich! The place is small, but cozy. Everything very good, excellent. The breakfast is plenty and filling, and it has good prices.

Very warm welcome and very good products, a treat, I recommend ++++

Fabulous hospitality. Excellent coffee. The best sausage morning rolls...somewhat away from crowds. Worth a stop!!!

Charming little café, lovely staff, hearty and excellent breakfast!

Excellent food, fabulous service and cosy place. We spent 3 days in Edinburgh and came every single morning… everything is said I assume…

Joli petit café, un personnel adorable, très accueillant, ambiance chaleureuse. Les plats sont excellents et beaucoup de choix ! Un endroit à retenir à Edimbourgh !

Superb address which opens earlier than most other breakfast places (7:30) which is very useful when you have something planned early. Impeccable, family service, delicious meal. And as a bonus, full vegetarian breakfast option! You can go there with your eyes closed!

The staff is extraordinarily friendly. We went for breakfast and enjoyed a spectacular British Breakfast and a Salmon Bagel. In addition, the dishes were prepared with great detail. A cozy and beautiful place, 100% recommended! We will repeat!!

We love this place! It is our go to spot when in Edinburgh. So lovely service and always in for a joke. Plus good food. What better start can a day have?!

Amazing breakfast, lots of different options, i absolutely love there hot chocolates, & the staff are amazing & so friendly ♥️ this will be my new breakfast stop ♥️

Good Scottish breakfast, with several choices. Today we opted for an egg and salmon scrambler on a slice of toast. Abundant and well made. It's a shame that the place is small and very popular, so you will find your neighbor in very close contact. Maybe I would remove a couple of tables to make the experience more comfortable. In any case I recommend

My girlfriend and I ate our breakfast here every morning on our visit to Edinburgh. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this lovely little corner in the heart of the city. The workers were all really kind and attentive. Amazing service and food made this our fondest memory of the city. :)

We found this cafe when wandering around from our hotel looking for somewhere open early for breakfast. The staff was warm and welcoming and remembered us when we came back several times during our stay. I loved the Mediterranean breakfast platter, they make the scrambled eggs super light and fluffy. Great coffee and a good selection of cakes and pastries.

The food was excellent, the staff extremely fast, kind and willing to accommodate my requests. Super recommended!

The breakfast that hit the spot perfectly, amazing food and coffee! Incredible service the girls were lovely. The place is super cozy! Highly recommended!
