The Mill Cafe at St Joseph’s Centre in Edinburgh, City of

Excellent, friendly service and fantastic food.

A wee gem. Love The Mill Cafe, their coronation chicken is my favourite in a panini with cheese too. The volunteers are so friendly and it has a real community spirit. Cakes are also fantastic. They are also good for group bookings as you can order in advance. Just let them know a few days before and they'll get you sorted. I've found that particularly useful for lunches with my colleagues as it helps us fit our gathering into our lunch hour.

Very nice quality coffee and cakes served by friendly staff. For me prices absolutely fine (although I appreciate being Scottish I should really complain!).

A tad overpriced, but the food is nice and friendly staff

Food is enjoyable however the prices are expensive particularly when you consider that everything is homemade by volunteers!! I realise that the proceeds go towards the community nevertheless the prices in my opinion are too high. We will not be returning which is a shame.

Great place and friendly staff , will definitely come back

A lovely place with beautiful home baking.

Amazing cafe with incredible cheese scones.

Nice toasted panini & filtered coffee. Toilets very clean Enjoyable experience

Lovely meal, thanks everyone xxx

After a long walk from Edinburgh to Balerno via Union Canal and Water of Leith - this friendly wee cafe was a welcome stop!! Nice coffee and really tasty cheese scones - served by smiley volunteers and at a reasonable price. Cake selection looked fab - hope to visit again soon to try them out!

Very nice cafe, good food, kind staff and reasonable price with a calm local atmosphere!

Excellent well cooked food and very friendly staff. Very reasonable pricing

Great little community run cafe.

Glad to see it open again. Lovely community cafe, excellent home made food. Bacon rolls are a welcome addition to the menu

So nice to see a community group so well run.

Run by volunteers. Serving delicious cakes and scones. Especially recommend the tea loaf. Also do sandwiches/paninis/toasties.

Very well spaced out, felt 'safe' being inside. Friendly volunteers working there. Tea & cheese scone very good.

Spacious seating and covid rules in place. Enjoyed lovely soup with tasty bread. A relaxed atmosphere.

Doing a great job under the circumstances.

Very enjoyable nice staff reasonable prices, good choice of food and drinks

This is where you have a local, relaxed atmosphere. Where everyone knows each other and strangers become friends. Very reasonable priced limited fair but quickly serviced by local volunteers and with a smile. Don't expect an a la carte restaurant, as this certainly isn't. It's a large church owned hall, with a kitchen on site. Where local baking, is matched only by the local get togethers. If you're new to the area and wanting to know more about it, I'd recommend a visit

Great home made cakes and the coffee was good ...

Another of Balerno's secret delights! This community cafe is a jewel. As well as the usual hot and cold drinks, there is a wide range of delicious cakes, pastries and scones. Various soups are available and lunch dishes. The venue is large and obviously very popular with local people. Well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed!

What a busy place! 50-100 people they serve, usually, and yet the atmosphere is anything but frenetic thanks to the super volunteers. Delicious soup and there are sandwiches and salads etc. Nothing fancy. Just what you want for a simple lunch. It's fair trade too. What an inspiration to other places this community cafe is.

Lovely wee cafe! My friend + I popped after a walk round the reservoir. Friendly service, food was tasty and reasonably priced. Excellent flat white and delicious carrot cake as well! We will definitely back!

A very welcoming place with lots of lovely homebaking by the volunteers.

Excellent, and lovely staff! Fruit scone and coffee, fresh, and tadty

Love this community cafe. Run for the local community with volunteers. We go on Tuesdays and the staff are lovely. The food is yummy and very well priced.

Amazingly kind staff and good food

Nice place friendly people good soup

Excellent soup and sandwich with great service.

Beautiful home baking and delicious light lunches in a relaxed child friendly environment with kids menu, and senior citizens meal deals (on Friday)

The food here is prepared and served by I presume volunteers, it's attached to the church and I assume profits go to the church. The place is not open every day. I think it's a Thursday that it's shut. Very good service and food. No hesitation in recommending it. More cafe than restaurant, but hot food, soups etc. are served.

Friendly people. Tasty food. Highly recommended when visiting Malleny Garden.

Welcoming, excellent value, superb baking and wonderful scones.

Very welcoming, volunteers friendly.I would say a little over priced

Church of Scotland Cafe and Community Centre

Freshly made soups and home baking, books for sale, kids play area and a friendly welcome. Fab!
