The Dean in Edinburgh, City of

Located in Dean Village this is a great place to stop for a morning coffee and breakfast bun (with choice of fillings including haggis). Limited seating but I would recommend takeaway, sit and eat on the many low walls in Dean Village.

Great spot for a coffee, breakfast or light lunch. The food was great, latte perfect and the sweets are made by, I was told, a French baker. Excellent all around. Friendly, attentive staff. Can’t ask for much more, and worth seeking out when visiting Dean Village.

Stopped by while exploring Dean Village. Great croissant and tasty coffee. Sat outside in the sun. Friendly service too

Best coffee we have had after a month in Scotland. Good, large sandwiches too. Convenient to path along Leith Water, which is a great break from the mobs of the Royal Mile

This is a special little cafe in the heart of The Dean Village. I love that they source locally and thoughtfully, coffee from Dear Green and milk from Mossgiel Farm, for example. I’ve been a few times now for coffee and cake and also brunch - the quality of everything is top notch. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. I love that they take the time to get to know the regulars (& their dogs!) by name. Feels rare in the city. I took my elderly mum in recently and the owner really took time to chat with her. She loved it!

I had a lovely toastie and coffee for my lunch today. Definitely coming back to try other things! Nice to find a little place like that so close to the city centre. 😊
