The Treehouse in Edinburgh, City of

Great British breakfast, all the ingredients were delicious.

I visited this cafe on Monday ten minutes after opening. There were no visitors inside, we were seated at a table to the left of the entrance and given a menu. A minute later, a man came in and ordered takeaway food, after a few minutes he was given an order and we were still waiting for them to come to us (they didn't come to us, I got up and went to the barista and made an order). On the way back I noticed a stain near my table, the couch by the window was tattered so my wife moved to avoid scratchings to her clothes, the table was sticky and stained. I understand that Monday morning can be very difficult, but this is not what you expect from a place with a rating of 4.6 on Google Maps. Very tasty breakfast and a nice view from the window.

Great for breakfast, we tried the pancakes which were really good. They offer different combinations, including savory ones. Very generous plate size, you will definitely leave full. Very competitive prices and friendly staff. For two portions of pancakes and two chai lattes we spent around €25.

Really nice place to sit down and eat breakfast/lunch and take a breath during the day. Good quality of food and drinks. Just two small problems: latte was a little bit too cold and our order for scrumbeld eggs was with toast, when I asked not to add it. But I still strongly recomend.

Great pancakes and a clean loo, 5/5.

Love this cafe and their breakfast, and appreciate that they have freshly squeezed orange juice. Only thing I’d mention is that their kitchen can close rather early, I’ve had a few times when I’ve stopped by around 3 and there was only coffee and pastries available.

The breakfast was delightful. The Americanno was good. I had the pancakes, bacon, eggs with maple syrup. The bacon was cooked perfectly. They have gluten free bread.

During our road trip trough Scotland we were here for a very good breakfast.

My favorite breakfast spot in the area. Lovely service staff and yummy comfort food! Strong coffee ☕️ The smoothies are also great and my daughter loves the pancakes.

Lovely coffee shop with young vibe. I had a nice coffee in the window seats

Amazing Pancakes. Always make sure we go when we're in Edinburgh.

Good food, friendly service, lovely cafe. The poached apple pancakes were delicious. The apple wasn't cooked to mush like it is in so many places. Scrambled eggs were in the Goldilocks zone - not too wet, not too dry, they were just right.

good breakfast spot, very big portions. Great place if you’re looking for pancakes.

Breakfast very different from the Italian one. I must say delicious cappuccino, excellent dessert, the pastry of the croissant empty and different but delicious I added butter and jam, fantastic!!!!!

Gorgeous cosy place just off Bruntsfield links! I took my mum for lunch, we had soup and coffee both delicious. Very happy to be served room temp butter so it was a delight to spread. Very well priced and the staff are lovely, cakes looked delicious so I will definitely be coming back to try them. Free wifi and a calm atmosphere with nice music. Great for people watching too :)

Food ok, prices for that, well, may be good for Edinburgh. Service was quite lackluster, you can sit more comfortably at other locations

Popped in here with a friend and enjoyed their signature treehouse sandwich which was tasty, a good size and I thought reasonably priced. Nice big windows make for great people watching here too!

Before we started our day exploring Edinburgh, we wanted to grab a quick breakfast close to our hotel. We really were served an absolutely delicious breakfast. The menu offers a great variety of different things whether you’re hungry or only have a small appetite. Also the coffee is great.

Best food and drink we had in 7 days here in Scotland

Family breakfast with pancakes, savory brioche with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and porridge with cooked apples, really excellent! The jam is also good! The pancakes are highly recommended!!!

A very nice cafe. They have a good range of breakfast options. You get plenty to eat and a nice vibe. I had pancakes. The syrup was already on them when served. I would have preferred to do that myself. But the pancakes were very nice.

Super nice and super good little place. Homemade and authentic cuisine, I loved it ;)

vegetarian platter was excellent and great for sharing with multiple people. good soup. loved my chai latte as well

Cosy and relaxed cafe with affordable prices. We had sweet, sweet pancakes amd were thoroughly energized. Very warm with the sun through the big windows.

This is a really cute cafe, with lots of nice options on the menu. I got scrambled egg and avocado on toast and it was just the right amount for me and we really enjoyed. Their drinks all looked delicious too. Would love to come back and try them.

I always return here for pancakes when I go to Edinburgh!

Go here every couple weeks when I’m out for a stroll (decide to treat myself now and then!). Always make a banging coffee, can’t knock it. The other week I went I saw this biscoff cookie - DELICIOUS. Will definitely be coming back here more often.

Just came in for coffees and found this coffee shop to be absolutely fine and friendly. A little hot inside with the sun shining through the large windows and would welcome some vegan savoury choices, I saw vgn cakes which is great but no choices on their sandwich menu. Still a perfectly reasonable place to go

I wish I had better things to say. The pictures made the food look great. Ordered the berry pancakes with honey, yogurt and Cinnamon. The berries were thawed frozen berries, not fresh, so they were super wet, soggy and pretty gross. The pancakes didn't have a good flavor and were doughy inside. The "smoothie" was not even cold, more of a berry sauce. Scrambled eggs were so wet the toast was soggy in spots. The service was good and the people were friendly. Overall, very disappointed.

Good coffee and pancakes, cosy environment. If you are around give it a try

Lovely brunch cafe in Bruntsfield area that serves pancakes. I love their coffee! However I found their pancakes are quite decent to my liking however, they have variety of toppings to go with them. The cafe was packed when we were there but their team still delivered an excellent service. Overall it's 4⭐️ from me

Dropped in to sit for a coffee, I also ordered a cookie. The coffee was great and cookie was UNREAL super fresh and so tasty!!

My favorite place to get brunch this side of town! Reasonably priced and great food/ambiance

This is a great cafe, with tasy dishes, good prices, and friendly service. They do a great bacon roll too.

Very nice and friendly staffs. I enjoyed the food and drink. Definitely i go for another shake soon!;)

The scrambled eggs were very ordinary, I suspect made with cage eggs as they were pale and tasteless. The food wasn't very warm either which is strange as I was the only one in the shop. Disappointing.

Nice and cozy, good variety of breakfasts.

Love it here, always great food!

An amazing place for breakfast. Recommend it 💯 %

The pancakes and breakfast rolls were delicious! The staff were very kind and the food was fast. Only downside is there is limited seating, so it can be cramped.

We had a lovely breakfast at Treehouse, the pancakes were great and the staff were so nice! Such great service! Will be visiting again soon!

Chill atmosphere with amazing pancakes and coffee. Staff were friendly and attentive

Perfect breakfast and very good coffee ❤️ we came twice during our short stay in Edinburgh.

Pancakes are substandard, and the fake maple syrup was just sugar glue and it really made my stomach hurt. I couldn’t even eat half of it. There’s a lot more that could be done with this place to improve it….

Very good café - excellent mocha coffee and service to match!

Visited at 9:30 on a Saturday, still quiet. Both had the poached apple pancakes which were light and fluffy. Chai latte was good as well. Very nice breakfast, good price too

Their lattes are amazing—I enjoyed the pumpkin spice. They have large portions, so I wouldn’t order more than two food items. Very pleased with the service. :)

Outstanding food and fantastic service.

Went here because the place we preferred was full. I ordered the Greek salad and it was just a bowl filled with nothing but spinach leaves and one measly piece of rocket, and they dumped in a tin of black olives and sun dried tomatoes. It was so disappointing. I wonder if the “chef” has ever eaten or even seen a Greek salad! It’s supposed to have cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, red pepper, Kalamata olives and feta! And a red wine vinegar/olive oil dressing with oregano and lemon juice. Not a bowl of spinach.

Just stopped for a coffee and a chat. Lovely place.

At our accommodation just around the corner. Opens early. Ideal as a start to the day. The service is super friendly.

Lovely homey place - just wish they did wider variety of food!!

Amazing bread for the bacon rolls! Great coffee too.

Lovely place. Staff were really friendly. Great coffee and lovely homemade cakes. Good range of food.

A great breakfast spot. Good coffee, delicious food, friendly staff and a lovely vibe. Dog friendly too!

We came in here during our trip to Edinburgh for some breakfast, and it didn’t disappoint! The staff were lovely, and the cafe was rather quaint and cosy! They have a sign on the door which said everyone is welcome to use the toilet, which we came to appreciate after realising most other places seemed to require a code, ensuring paying customers had access only. We would go again for sure!

A superb discovery of this place for breakfast. the dishes are good, plentiful and the staff is very friendly. The icing on the cake, they speak French

This cafe is a very busy and popular spot, it is in a great location and the staff were lovely. Since the space is so popular it feels like there are just a few too many chairs in there. It is loud and cramped making it awkward to move around. This rating may be higher if I was not dairy and meat free- The food options seemed great for people without dietary requirements. The cakes looked fresh and there were some gluten free and vegan options, the menu is fairly priced. Iced coffee is not available but alternative milks are available. I ordered the sourdough toast with smashed avocado and tomato, the sourdough pieces were extremely crisp and small. It was exactly as described mashed up avocado with chunks of tomato throughout, absolutely no seasoning or additional flavours. It was not very filling and very bland which is disappointing as it is one of the only vegan breakfast options. I would recommend this cafe to people without dietary requirements or anyone who just wants to grab a coffee and a cake. If you are someone with dietary requirements looking for a meal there are many other local spots with a more diverse range of options.

The pancakes are quite delicious, and syrup is already added when they are served, so I can accept it even if I don’t like sweet food👍. The portion is so big that I feel full after eating just one, and I can’t eat any more for dinner.

Excellent coffee lovely food great prices and lovely staff. What more can you ask for.

Very good and plentiful breakfast. The staff is attentive and smiling.

Great food and drinks, good price too! We ordered drinks and pancakes. Pancakes were good and the hot choc was a must try. It was busy but that did not ruin the great vibes or service.

Great place for work and people watching. I wish they were working untill later.

The cafe was cute. However, the pancakes left a lot to be desired. While they were fluffy, the middle was not cooked through, and as a result, they did not taste very nice. DO NOT GET THE BERRIES. They are served still half frozen, so they do not taste nice at all. It looks a lot prettier than it tastes, unfortunately.

Came here for a quick brunch one day, had a latte and these pancakes with banana and honey. Both were delicious, and I was in and out in less than an hour!

Nice place for breakfast. Friendly ladies who help you quickly and efficiently. Pancakes were very tasty.

Lovely place. Really nice staff and good food.

Cosy cafe with outstanding service and great food at a fantastic price point. We came here the other day for breakfast, and were met with lovely and caring staff and delicious and filling food. We ordered the pancakes after seeing the positive reviews and promising pictures, and certainly weren’t let down. We received thick, full of flavour and fluffy pancakes, with generous toppings. The hot chocolate we had was also lovely, and wanted to voice our appreciation for getting a little tea pot when we ordered some breakfast tea (rather than just a single cup with hot water). Can highly recommend this place, and are looking forward to coming back!

Really nice food, got the berries and yogurt pancakes with some tea. My partner got the apple and cinnamon with maple flavoured strip, with a side of bacon. Both good portion sizes, delicious food, and very kind staff.

Went here for brunch, the food was lovely and the staff were super kind! The pancake portion is massive, struggled to finish it for one person!

Lieu sympa, assez petit mais cosy. Personnel très sympa, repas délicieux, attention, c'est copieux. Les pancakes bacon et sirop d'érable sont un régal ! Les meilleurs que j'ai mangés jusqu'à présent !

Cute cafe, really good coffee (especially after a long train ride), and nice service! They have gluten free (gf) options!!

Really lovely cafe & such helpful staff. Were very accommodating with a personalised order (when I decided to combine 2 delicious sounding orders into one 🙈). Ordered pancakes & a panini. Also 10% NHS/emergency services discount. Worth a visit

I decided to give this cafe a try after having read several great reviews and I can't help but confirm them - they have the most delicious pancakes ever!

Nice cafe in Edinburgh with fair prices. Service was a little on the slow side but overall worth visiting if you’re looking for a nice breakfast.

Great brunch spot for decently priced food.

It's a decent place. Food was actually good. Not sure how but we ordered two separate hot chocolate, very clearly with two different milk types, and were somehow brought two tiny expressos? Not sure how but hey it happens, the place is otherwise good.

We had breakfast here. The toasts and croissants were good, not mind blowing bur good nevertheless. But the PANCAKES were DELICIOUS!! Try the pancakes - highly recommended!!

Excellent coffee, friendly service, good music and ambience. Strong recommendation

Excellent pumpkin spice latte, better than Starbucks. You can chose among regular milk, soy or oats (not GF). Three good options if you are looking for gluten-free baked treats, one also vegan (see photos). The GF Belgian chocolate brownie was fresh, moist inside with a crunchy top. Excellent.

With the good reviews we made a special trip here. The staff were so lovely but the pancakes were terrible. They tasted salty and there was way too much baking powder used. It just wasn’t good. We did let the restaurant know.

Amazing best coffee in town hands down. Always roasted to creamy tasty perfection. So happy I found this place :)

Great place to have breakfast. Especially the pancake stack with bacon and maple syrup is great. It is about a 15 min walk from below Edinburgh Castle in Grassmarket, which is just fine. Definitely recommend this place over anything close to the historical centre. The reason being that you pay premium prices for food that is no better than at this place.

Had a quick breakfast, porridge and granola with yoghurt. Pricing is decent. Oats are made in the microwave. Fruit was frozen for the granola. Regardless the taste was good and good value. Nice ambiance. Free wifi and delicious looking cakes. Side view on the lark. What do you wish more!

Best pancakes 🥞 I have had 😋 Anytime I fancy brunch when heading into Edinburgh, this is my favourite place for the yummy pancakes. Smallish cafe but always busy, sometimes lucky to get a seat. Worth the wait though, a very good choiced varied menu for all tastes. All staff also polite and helpful. Very reasonably priced for what you get and the portion sizes. I am a big eater but even I struggle to finish the 3 massive pancakes. My favourite is the bacon and maple which I thoroughly recommend but as I said lots of choice

I'm back here for another Festival August and loving The Treehouse Cafe. It's one of my little pleasures in visiting Edinburgh each year. Great coffee, nice meals and fantastic pancakes! Staff are friendly and there's a relaxed overall atmosphere, even during the hectic August Festival days.

I love the food bacon and pancakes the strawberry milkshake was braw I recommend going there

A lovely small, cosy cafe with pleasant and friendly staff. It is clean and popular with locals for quick bites and hit drinks to go. The food is very good and there are plenty of options for vegetarians. We had a lovely breakfast and chose pancakes, porridge with blueberries and a vegetarian platter. The coffee was great, the pancakes and sourdough bread were amazing. Very good service with reasonable prices. Would definitely return.

Love it and will go back again. Never been healthy like this before. Very healthy and tastie food.

Delicious breakfast, lovely atmosphere! A dream place for vegans!! Really loved it and totally recommend!

nous avons peu apprécié la cuisine mais endroit très agréable

Bardzo polecam ze względu na menu, przystępne ceny, wczesne godziny otwarcia i estetykę tego miejsca. Zaliczyłam tam owsiankę, pancakesy i kawę. Wszystko smaczne, ładnie podane, a porcje - spore.

Waiting time is very long. The sauces for pancakes are very artificial (e.g. strawberry or barbecue)

The cafe was clean, the pancakes hearty and coffee good and hot. Will go again for a lunch

Kind service, lovely space and very tasty food. All we ordered was delicious!!!

Fancied pancakes, this place was one of the nearest so gave it a go. Very generous with toppings, huge topping choice and great wee cafe. Will be back

One of the best cafe shops of Edinburgh. Lovely stuff and amazing food!

Really nice little cafe. The food is quite standard but good. The only issue is that they are not using real maple syrup… only flavoured syrup ( but this is clearly mentioned).

Great neighbourhood cafe with fresh delicious food, great prices, wonderful customer service, and giant windows for natural light and people watching.

Nettes Café mit entspannter Atmosphäre und angenehmem Ambiente. Bietet leckere und günstige Speisen zum Frühstück, Mittag oder zur Kaffeezeit. Die Auswahl liegt eher abseits des üblichen "Scottish Breakfast", bietet aber viele süße und herzhafte Varianten (auch vegetarisch). Sehr freundliche und zugewandte Bedienung. Von allen Cafés an dieser Straße haben wir das Frühstück hier am Meisten genossen und gleichzeitig am wenigsten dafür ausgegeben.
