Urban Angel in Edinburgh, City of

Service was so lovely and we absolutely devoured our breakfasts. If you happen to enjoy artichokes and coriander, I cannot recommend enough the artichoke lemon toast with chimichurri butter beans, it was absolutely scrumptious!

Banana French toast and Christmas eggs benedict, both hot and delicious. Friendly welcoming staff

Food was nice. Unfortunately spoilt by manner of staff. We were told that the table needed to be back in 1 hr which wasn't a problem however two members of staff were overheard saying to 'make sure our table was gone before the hour was up.'

Magnificent service, super friendly and the dishes are super delicious. We ordered a za’ atar spiced scramble toast and it was pretty good. We also ordered some baked eggs with goat cheese and they were sensational. I ordered a banana pancake with a chocolate edge. It was delicious. They have breakfast all day and the bathroom is pretty good.

Really cute spot for brunch, luckily they squeezed us in even though they were booked up! Got the banoffee french toast and eggs benedict with chorizo and chipotle hollandaise, both were lovely. Coffee was also really nice.

Amazing Brunch. Super fresh ingredients, cooked to order. Very tasty

Love, love love! A gem of a place. We tried for an hour to find a nice brunch place to sit and relax it without a reservation. They had a lot of customers but were super accommodating and friendly, did not rush us at all and the food was delicious and fresh. We had just come back from another restaurant that had super rude staff so this was so refreshing to experience.

I wanted to go to this place a long time ago, and just got the chance a couple of days ago. It is a wonderfully cozy and rustic spot. The atmosphere is charming, and the setting provides a perfect place to relax. The food and service are both excellent, making it a delightful experience overall.

Managed to get a table by dropping in, service & food was so good we have booked again for tomorrow, 1/12/24 no pics sorry, we both had the most beautiful scrambled eggs. So so tasty 👏👏

A lovely cafe in the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were so welcoming and friendly, a lovely atmosphere and delicious food.

Very busy, would recommend to reserve a table through their website during weekends. Nice and attentive staff. Good cappuccino however the baked eggs was very underwhelming. Cosy cafe, centrally located with decent coffee and baked goods.

Worth a visit just for the almond croissants. So good, I was in town from London two weeks in a row and made a point of visiting 😋 Also one of the best coffee shops in town. The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 rolls are also v v good 😍

Fantastic food friendly service. Well worth visiting. But book at weekends otherwise you may miss this great place.

Fantastic place for breakfast/ brunch. For me best in Edinburgh.

Nothing special. Quantity is good for value for money but lack of refinement in the way plates are cooked. Can find better places in town for the price. Environment is good though.

Lovely cafe with good coffee, and great for bruch. The food was delicious and service was fast. It gets super busy so booking beforehad is a good idea.

very kind staff, tasty eggs benedict and lovely porridge.

Elegimos este lugar basado en comentarios y fuimos a almorzar. La bienvenida era cálida y el personal era encantador. También nos gustó todo el ambiente del lugar y desearíamos haber tenido más hambre! Pedimos sopa con pan gf y papas fritas. Todos los elementos de la comida eran excelentes! Cuando volvamos a Edimburgo, este lugar es sin duda el primero de la lista para volver.

Nice food but ridiculous cost. £8 for one piece of sourdough and 2 eggs is outrageous. Was nothing special about them - no seasoning or sauce or anything to justify such a price.

that was bloody lovely, really nice

My daughter and I had Lunch here yesterday. It was relaxed and friendly, with great food, and reasonable prices for the quality.

Fantástico lugar para el brunch y mucho más. Paramos aquí en nuestro último día en Edimburgo y lo único que lamentamos fue que no lo encontramos antes. Buena comida y servicio. Un lugar que vale la pena visitar cuando está en la ciudad.

Really cute cafe, food was to die for, I had the banana french toast. Servers were also all really friendly and polite.

I loved the experience .. woody tables and nice food. The french toast with greek yogurt and granola is phenomenal 😋😋

Food was phenomenal, especially the eggs benedict 😀👍🏻Would definitely come here again! Just a lil expensive 9.75/10 would recommend

The pain of chocolate was cold and not good.

Este lugar estaba en la parte superior de nuestra lista después de haber visto un montón de reccos y buenas críticas. No pudimos entrar en nuestro primer día, así que hicimos una reserva para la mañana siguiente (recomendaría evitar la decepción - pero vale la pena echar un vistazo en el sitio web si lo dejamos para el último minuto, pudimos reservar cuando nos despertamos dentro de una hora!). Tomé la tostada francesa de plátano y mantequilla (sin gluten) y un capuccino que estaban deliciosos. No recuerdo la última vez que hice tostadas francesas, así que fue un verdadero placer, y no fue enfermizo y pesado como a veces puede ser. Nos metieron en un rincón y nos encantó la gente mirando, incluso pedimos una segunda bebida para extender nuestra estancia. El único cambio sería que el personal pudiera estar un poco más atento, tuvimos que esperar un poco a que nos salieran la factura y las placas. Pero cuando llegaron fueron agradables y amables.

Very nice food. We were really happy with their gluten free options. Make sure you have a reservation or show up immediately when they first open.

Special offer with differentiated and always tasty flavours. Components selected and cared for according to a philosophy based on product quality throughout the entire production chain. Kind and friendly service. Central location and well served by public transport. Advised

Coffee was 5 star for me! Great cappuccino, quality roast coffee! Eggs Benedict was delicious! Added on the haggis which was yum but a bit crispy (had a better experience with Haggis elsewhere) Cute little cafe with local vibes and amazing staff service

Lovely food, friendly service, highly recommend

Food and coffee was absolutely delicious but it wasn’t the most comfortable experience being sat on a bar stool facing the wall eating my breakfast. I think those seats should only be used for drinks, not food

Urban Angel is one of my favourite spots to go for a breakfast/lunch. The staff are almost always positive and friendly, despite how super busy they get. The food is absolutely fantastic with so many good options and the coffee is good also. I honestly haven't found another breakfast place that's better. I never come away smelling like fried food, which happens in most other cafés. This place really is a credit to Edinburgh 💜

The best choice in the morning after some wiskeys. Great breakfast 🤗

Great breakfast find, delicious and great for those with dietary requirements!

Absolutely fantastic coffee, smoothies and breakfast. Staff were so friendly and nice. Highly recommend.

Yum yum yum! Opens at 8:30, but kitchen doesn’t open until 9:00am, just FYI! Food was FANTASTIC! Staff were incredibly friendly.

Nice staff and food was delicious. Next time I will come for the french toast.😊

Great little place for brunch. Got here at 8:30 and was told kitchen would not be open until 9. No problem I enjoyed a lovely coffee and I am glad I waited! The food was amazing and kept me full for the whole day. I enjoyed the banana French toast and a roll however I had it over spinach instead of the bread. It was very delicious and boy they were busy! By the time I got my food they already had an hour wait. The locals must know this is a good place to go. Very fresh ingredients with great choices to satisfy anyone's desire.

Amazing place. Such a vibrant space with superb food and lovely staff. Will certainly be visiting again.

Delicious vegan food and very nice Service! Will come Back next time in Edinburgh❣️

3rd visit to this cafe. It’s lovely.

Vinimos con toneladas de investigación para esta elección de almuerzo en nuestra lista en Edimburgo. Previamente les había enviado un mensaje sobre las tostadas francesas GF, ¡y dijeron por supuesto! Viniendo de Estados Unidos, es difícil encontrar lugares acogedores y amables, muchas opciones para elegir. Tengo la tostada francesa Banoffee y mi marido los huevos al horno. Ambos platos eran increíbles, mejor tostadas francesas y textura era increíble, los huevos horneados era increíble y tan único. Ambas bebidas eran fabulosas el chai sucio y el café con leche de cúrcuma. Nos dieron una reserva para las 9 de la mañana y eso fue muy recomendable, se puso ocupado rápido Me aseguraría de reservar! Nos gustaría volver aquí de nuevo!

£4.40 for a small mocha that hardly tasted like chocolate… a little overpriced.

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a freaking sandwich so much. The bacon was absolutely amazing!! Very cute, super kind staff, delicious coffee. Loved it!

The food is delicious and the staff is very kind

Food was absolutely awsomme and amazing.

Fantastic! Glutenfree options for celiacs possible and it works. 👍🏼 *picture: Eggs Beni with Chorizo. Not GF!

Excellent breakfast and welcoming !

Really good coffee, tasty food and very friendly service. Our first time visiting this cafe having been to Edinburgh many times. We will definitely be back again!

Rude staff - we had a reservation for 2 on a cold and windy day. We came in, sat at our table and the door remained open. We asked them to close the door and they responsed that they cannot. When we moved onto the next table they told us that we can’t sit there because the table was for three people (although the same size). They were very rude and not accommodating at all. I don’t recommend this place.

I attended here today with my friend after looking for somewhere for brunch. Looking at the reviews and menu, I’m sure it would be a lovely place to eat. The prices were a little extortionate but we were prepared to pay. Unfortunately, the staff said that it would be an hour wait for a table which I said I’d be happy to do. It felt like you were a hindrance and because I offered to wait, they did not seem interested in your custom and wanted you out the door as quickly as possible. I understand that you’re busy and that it’s a weekend, but the rudeness of the staff has put me off completely. First impressions really do count. Such a shame.

Excellent cafe with an excellent menu and service.

Absolutely gorgeous experience … I would rate top two breakfast places in Edinburgh … love their crispy croissant, love the range in the for scones as well breakfast sandwiches

Staff is very friendly despite being already too tired (overworked) at lunch time. Food was too fatty, focaccia was disgusting with so much "dropping" fat (most likely not olive oil...). Coffee (expresso) was excellent. But too expensive. Rooms and tables are not very confortable. Not a ice place to have a meal. Summary - not worth the price.

Excellent gluten-free breakfast. However, the place is small and it is advisable to book otherwise it could be difficult to find a seat.

Put this on your list for breakfast. The atmosphere is bright and airy amidst an old cooking kitchen that’s brightened with plants and candles. Patio out back. Nice selection of breakfast offerings, but be sure to try the yummy peanut butter and maca bowl and the baked eggs with goat cheese.

Cute place with a good different breakfast - had baked eggs with goat cheese! Wife had the peanut butter Macca bowl.

Great option for breakfast in love with their French toast and eggs option

Very cute and super popular place, make sure you make a reservation. The service is very friendly but the dishes took a long time to arrive (simple toast) and even then some of it was missing (the egg broke so they brought the toast without it(?) the food we ate was delicious.

Very good breakfast at Urban Angel Cafe. Service very friendly. Short waiting time. Would love to come back.

A beautiful, wonderful restaurant. The quality of food is excellent and varied. The prices are somewhat acceptable, a little high. The atmosphere is beautiful

Gluten free French toast? Say less. The bread was so soft and delicious you couldn’t even tell it was GF. My husband really loved the black pudding as well.

Very friendly place with delicious food (the hummus toast and eggs Benedict were great) and lovely staff.

The breakfast is delicious, believe me, even their coffee is delicious and I will come back for it 💯

Had breakfast here this morning and it was delish! Booked a table after reading really good reviews about the place. I got the Greek yoghurt bowl and my partner got the roasted cauliflower toast. Both were incredible with excellent coffee and fast service. Highly recommend!

Flavor explosion! Rarely eaten so well. However, reservation is recommended.

Fabulous food!! I was lucky enough to get right in -reservations recommended!! Had the Eggs Benedict with portobello mushrooms and veggie haggis along with a latte. Delicious!! All locally sourced and ask about food allergies with every order.

Lovely independent cafe in Edinburgh. Great choice of breakfast options including cealiac friendly options which was great Had breakfast here, would recommend booking as very popular. Separate rooms, modern decor. Staff lovely and welcoming.

Nice basement cafe with a number of intimate small dining areas. The breakfast food we had was very tasty and pretty decent value. Service was prompt and friendly throughout the visit, and the coffees were well made and hot.

We had breakfast in this delightful place. Everything good from the coffee, the sl french toast. To try

that’s honestly my most favourite place in edinburgh for brunch. we spent every special occasion there, and today was my partner’s birthday. every staff member was absolutely cute, and almost made me cry (in a good way lol) when they made a gift for my partner. this place deserves more then 5* and I will always recommend it to my friends ❤️

We ordered an iced latte and piccolo, but both had very sour and bitter tastes. We could not finish the drinks. The atmosphere is nice, but the drinks were very disappointing.

The service is friendly and courteous, and the food is delicious.

This place was good a few years ago but it has really gone done hill. I was very disappointed with the French toast - it was disgustingly sweet. Won't be returning.

Absolutely delicious food But the café is small on the ground floor. “There is a basement.”

It was delicious. We had a good time.

Their experience was excellent The breakfast is delicious Eggs with goat cheese 10/10 Toast with hummus 10/10 Most of the dishes were sweet Especially your coffee 👍🏻

Incredible food. Strong recommend for the baked eggs and brioche French toast. Lovely service and and beautiful place.

Visited twice on a recent visit to Edinburgh. The staff are wonderful, even remembered us the second time despite being a very popular spot. The food is beautiful and fresh. Both meals were stunning and you cannot fault it. The coffee was amazing, brilliantly made with smooth tasting coffee beans.

Very good specialty coffee. Service was fast and friendly. Cinnamon roll and french toast were amazing. Good selection of freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. We were lucky enough to find a table straight away but for groups of more than 2, a booking is recommended.

We were able to make same day brunch reservations, and Urban Angel was the perfect pick me up for the day after a wedding with an open bar. The batch brew coffee (which this American was grateful to see on the menu) was strong. Portions were more generous than I had anticipated from other reviews. And I highly highly recommend the scrambled eggs on toast! It sounds like an uninteresting menu item, but Urban Angel made them spicy, fluffy, and fulfilling-- I'll be dreaming about that breakfast.

Food was alright. Have never felt more pressured to leave. First thing that was said was “we need to table back in 1h15”. Then to be told after 40 minutes that they need it back in 5 mins. One way to get rid of paying customers. Wouldn’t return, far better service a 2 minute walk away

Food was delicious! A bit expensive but I'd say it was worth it! Servers were polite and helpful! We had a bacon and sausage roll as well as baked eggs. Was lovely!

Delicious food. This is how the city tour can begin.

Lovely service, nice food but quite expensive Caters well for all dietary requirements

We didn't have a reservation but they were easily able to fit us in for breakfast. Quick service for both food and coffees. Alternative milks available We ordered the Benny with bacon, and Benny with mushrooms and spinach. Yum!

Excellent food and great staff. Very helpful with my in laws gluten allergies and my awkward children.

The cafe is very cute with a warm feeling and decorated cosy. They have a big variety of food and drinks and the portions have a good size. However the personnel is not very knowledgeable about allergens. The person serving me and my friends didn’t know that oats contain gluten. Also there are only little options for vegan food and one has to pay a surcharge for plant based milk. A mandatory 10% tip was added to our bill.

Great brunch spot with tasty food. The hostess was very helpful!

Fabulous little jem of a place, situated in the heart of Edinburgh. Great breakfast and service. X

I tried the Baked Egg with Tomato and Goat Cheese, chips, and green juice. We had the closure with the bannofi french toast. Oscar was very helpful and gave us the recommendations 👍🏼. All were great and delicious. I would definitely visit again and any new visitor to Edinburgh must try it.

Gluten free options also available. Excellent food and very kind staff.

Friendly service and nice ambience. The baked eggs were nice, but very overpriced and they were overcooked. The flavour was good and the ingredients were fresh. The matcha latte was average with a lot of matcha powder clumped together.

Happy with the food, though it is very expensive for the portion size. What wasn't so great is how rushed they were with us at the end-- borderline rude. We felt very unwelcome.

Good vegetarian option and tasty shakshuka

I liked the brunch at urban angel, food was delicious, staff was very kind, I would come here again!

Food was great - some unique dishes you won't find at most brunch spots. Service sadly was quite slow - took like 25 mins just for the coffee to arrive, though the staff seemed to be working at maximal pace they could.

The place is overrated, the quality and individual mix of portions is not worth the price

Price performance great! The service was great. Nice and very fast. Within 15 minutes we had our food and drinks.
