The Storytelling Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Nice place for a relax and a coffee.

Really enjoyed lunch here, haggis and mash with I think it was red wine sauce. Stag kept up even though it was busy during the Fringe. Only slight minus is I thought it was a little bit expensive for what it was.

Called in twice. First time for afternoon tea between shows. Had a very fine Earl Grey. Good strength tea. Nice cafe, very friendly staff. Had been up Salisbury Crags and Arthurs Seat and was ravenous. Called back for lunch on the final day in Edinburgh. Somehow we'd avoided the haggis supper. Not today. We dived straight in with a creamy whisky sauce. My mate has gluten and dairy intolerance, not a problem - vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free haggis, tatties, neeps and whisky sauce which he said was excellent. Mine contained all the "badness" and was probably the best I've ever had. The presentation was amazing, the flavours and textures absolutely out there. Fortunate to arrive when we did to get the seats. Staff very helpful with my friend and good conversation with the pretty Aussie lady serving. Decent prices for the quality and location. Very impressed all round. Gluten and dairy-free options a massive bonus as finding somewhere my mate can eat is sometimes very tricky.

Fantastic place where all the haggis and sauces are gluten free

Honestly, this is the nicest cafe on the Royal Mile. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. And maybe this is just me, but bring in the storytelling centre just always feels so wholesome and welcoming.

Amazing Haggis (with whisky sauce of course) for a reasonable price (£8.50, sauce - £1.20). Our tour guide told us about this place and we will definitely be back

A bit of quiet on the royal mile. Good coffee tea and cake and a fantastic hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream on top!

Coffe made to perfection!!! And very friendly service! Thank you!

Cozy little coffee, with loving staff. The prices are reasonable and the products are fresh, perfect for a quick snack. Local sweet pastries are served

Very friendly staff. Quality coffee for good price.

Very polite staff and decent latte ❤️ Perfect place before going in to the theatre.

Mi esposo y mi hermana visitamos este encantador café para desayunar después de subir al asiento de Arthur y un joven encantador llamado Sam 1 street class service, una pequeña joya en la milla real, nos recibió con una cálida bienvenida escocesa. Gracias.

Недорого, но выбор не очень большой. Кофе, чай, напитки, десерты, фрукты. Подкупает демократичная и доброжелательная атмосфера.

Nos detuvimos para almorzar dos veces en la cafetería de cuentos, tanto en los días en que caminábamos mucho y necesitábamos un buen combustible para seguir adelante. El café es encantador, muy luminoso y espacioso, con muchas mesas. También es muy limpio, lo que es genial. En ambos días pedimos lo mismo (¡no nos sentíamos muy aventureros!): Dos papas, una con atún, una con queso. Fueron excelentes las dos veces. Gran tamaño de la porción, un montón de topping, mucha ensalada y aderezo. Las papas estaban perfectamente cocinadas, habían ido con ese gran color amarillo adentro. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente. En cuanto al precio, por la cantidad de comida que obtuvimos, las comidas son razonables. Definitivamente regresaremos cuando regresemos a Edimburgo y podemos recomendarlo para un buen almuerzo, abundante y bastante saludable.

Me encanta este lugar, buscábamos el desayuno y nos topamos con este café que casi lo pasa por alto ya que no está en el nivel de la calle, a pasos del lado inferior, o entra por la casa de John Knox en el lado alto. La mayoría de las personas que frecuentan este café parecen ser locales, ya que este es un centro comunitario próspero, al lado del Centro de Narración de Historias, con un espacio apto para niños, área de exhibición y eventos de estadías regulares para todas las edades. El café está justo en el medio, vendiendo productos locales y una variedad de opciones calientes para el brunch. ¡El maravilloso Adán está detrás del mostrador, tomó nuestro pedido el primer día y luego lo recordó cada vez que entramos! El único problema es que no abre hasta las 10 de la mañana. Comida deliciosa, excelente café, excelente servicio y un ambiente realmente tranquilo y acogedor.

Kleines Café im größten Trubel. Nicht so touristisch. Preise okay, Selbstbedienung, alles wie überall in Edinburgh freundlich. Tee war lecker, schönes Geschirr, die Speisen sahen alle gut aus, gekühlt in der Selbstbedienungstheke oder warm aus der Küche.

Very cozy, neat cafe/restaurant. Extensive choice of drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Near MAS.

Found by accident. So so food, very basic and fast food type. Expensive for what you get.

A very nice pleasant environment

Cafe with living room atmosphere. Very beautifully designed walls and staircases. If you like strong colors... you'll love it. Many small works of art can be seen.

Very nice facility. Very cozy. A friendly staff. And the food and drink there are top notch.

Nice place to recharge your batteries and continue traveling the royal mile

Honestly, a little disappointing with the quality of the desserts offered...

Good quality and good price, their dishes are quite good, presented and cooked. But don't raise your expectations too much. As my father would say, it is a correct place.

Went for a light lunch with my friend and we love the food! And smoothie! One of the best I have ever had (apart of those I make at home). Good food for a good price with a nice ambience and staff. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends!!!.

Nice small cafe, very expensive for what it is however this is Edinburgh so it's expected.

Awesome location and friendly people, with good food and very reasonable prices. I love this place.

The Story Cafe is a fabulous social enterprise supporting people in recovery. The menu features wholesome, imaginative items with ever changing dish of the day. There is a wide selection of drinks including craft beer. Look out for special events such as their fabulous Christmas lunch. The cafe is family friendly and welcoming to all.

the best chocolate brownies I have ever had. Coffee good and the staff efficient and very friendly.

The Storytelling Cafe serves some of the best fresh bakery anywhere in Edinburgh, let along on the Royal Mile. Sit in the window with your cuppa and watch the world walk by.
