Wee Coffee Bar in Edinburgh, City of

I'm a bit fussy with scrambled eggs so I'm always a bit nervous ordering but the scrambled eggs here are bloody fantastic. Topped with salmon, I almost ordered a second helping.

We were a party of five. The café was empty, yet we were made to feel like the owner was doing us a favour by serving us. She actually gave us a time limit on our stay. It was clear she was disgruntled, and it became apparent that it was because her colleague was late at turning up for work. She was not informed of the ingredients of her bread rolls, despite a big sign on the wall about being allergy friendly. When the coffee arrived it was not hot, and as I have a dairy allergy I had to eat an under-cooked sausage without the roll (which we were later informed was dairy free by the charming but late colleague). Not a welcoming or congenial atmosphere, and the faire definitely not up to any normal standards.

Small, nice Cafe with excellent scottish breakfast! Unfortunatly cant host more than 10 people. The waffles looked great too.

Stumbled across this gem on a work trip to Edinburgh. Wonderful breakfast - haggis and egg bap, with Illy coffee - and great service.

Amazing breakfast. Friendly and welcoming. Good menu for breakfast and lunch. I would highly recommend.

Me and my partner found this little place in the off chance walking to the castle, and I'm so glad we did! It's so obvious that a lot of love went into this little place. The food was so incredible and fresh. Genuinely the best Scottish full breakfast I've ever had😍

Just had a fantastic breakfast here. Sharon and her Mum are lovely people and the food is excellent. All freshly cooked to order. We will be visiting again while staying in Edinburgh.

Fantastic one 🙂 Delicious food and also fresh juices, orange or carrot and apple Close to city centre, Princes Street

Wee coffee shop is a fantastic wee place with a fantastic range of choices. I had two morning rolls which where so tasty and there was no grease at all which made it even better. Another thing that the two ladies provided a lovely welcome and had a lovely chat with them both, which was nice. Definitely recommended and my rolls where done quickly! Great place.

Visited the “Wee Coffee Bar” for a coffee and breakfast to meet family. Firstly, the owner Sharon is so warm and welcoming. The coffee was delicious and really high quality. I had a black pudding, potato scone and egg roll which was an ideal breakfast treat. Will definitely make this a regular breakfast visit.

My hotel was not serving breakfast due to the lockdown. So I wondered the streets a bit and found this little cafe. The friendly owner cooked me a lovely Scottish breakfast with a potato scone. Coffee was very good too. I returned and found it a lovely start to my mornings on my short visit to Edinburgh. Very nice place to sit in, read the paper and very good value for money.

Great wee place just opposite EICC. Looking for somewhere for breakfast or morning coffee and found here. Warm and friendly welcome, great coffee and relaxing atmosphere. Definitely worth steering away from the big franchises!

What a great find! An independent shop that beats the big names in every way. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great banter! Serving a huge choice of made-to-order meals, all from fresh ingredients. Good for all tastes (including one of our party who is veggie and another who loves a roll with sausage) and all excellent! A cosy and comforting place to be. All this and superb coffee too!

My husband and I are up for the weekend and popped in for a bite to eat as we had flown up from Bristol and were hungry for breakfast. The scrambled egg on brown bread was delicious and plenty of it. Two big cups of tea each from the pots given. Very clean. Lovely friendly staff. We're vegetarians and the selection available was A1. I promise you won't be disappointed

Great coffee, lovely breakfasts and super friendly staff. Give the big chains a miss and try this place!

Su sándwich de pavo, relleno casero, chipolata y salsa de arándanos para Navidad era tan bueno que tuve que escribir una reseña. Estaba lleno de relleno y absolutamente delicioso, nunca tuve un mejor sándwich. Desafortunadamente, es solo de temporada, pero todo lo demás que he comido allí también ha sido encantador y el personal es muy amable.

Los waffles de canela con crema que tenía aquí eran hermosos, y también he tenido un granola de este pequeño y encantador lugar también.Siempre es mejor venir a primera hora de la mañana, ya que los asientos son limitados, por lo que si tiene el lugar para usted solo o con algunos otros clientes, el ambiente es más agradable.Este lugar es particularmente agradable en el verano, ya que el menú está lleno de productos llenos y refrescantes, y el propietario es extremadamente amable y acogedor.Vale la pena una visita.

Tienen un gran letrero que dice que sirven café Illy, que normalmente me gusta, así que mis expectativas eran altas. Lamentablemente, aunque el cappuccino que recibí era grande, no tenía buen sabor y no tenía demasiado calor. Y todo eso con un precio MUY alto. Extremadamente decepcionante, pero lamentablemente en línea con mi experiencia general de beber café en Edimburgo.

A great small coffee shop near the EICC. Nice coffee, fair prices and good service. Visited this place twice during my recent visit.

We had a wonderful time here, they serve my husbands favourite Italian Coffee Illy, which is how wandering past he noticed it and popped in for an espresso to go! We then returned the next day for a sit down coffee, the buggy was welcomed and my daughter made to feel at home and my friend and I and my husband had lovely coffees! There is a toilet for customers, and they serve food and cold drinks too! Highly recommend the Mocha! It was glorious!!

Lovely polite and friendly service. Best Coffee and Bacon Roll I have ever tasted . Great Value for money too. 5 star all they way. Thank you

I popped in here between meetings to get lunch. Friendly staff and a good selection of sandwiches, snacks and drinks. All for standard prices. My chicken and coleslaw sandwich was tasty. Good option for lunch in the area.

Bacon sandwich was fantastic. Came on a roll of sorts, but was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Would recommend!

Stopped in here prior to an event at the EICC (very handy by the way). Service was friendly and speedy. Great value for money (a fraction of the price of other coffee shops found on a high street near you). And the chai latte was lovely. Can also recommend their almond croissants!!

Great service and Illy coffee. The owners are lovely and very friendly. I've been coming here for the past 3 years for coffee as my office is nearby. The baked potatoes and sandwiches are all freshly made each day and have superb fillings. Far better quality than Starbucks, Pret and some of other independents nearby.

The soups are always delicious and hearty. The portions are massive and great value for money. The coffee is always hot and tastes great too :)

Nice lady working there. We had to leave sooner than planned and she straight away suggested to put the tea we got in a take away cup. No frills, just relaxing.

Hier even wat besteld om warm te worden, maar we werden al snel weggeroepen door familie die al ergens zaten te eten. Mijn drankje werd direct overgegoten in een to-go beker en wij kregen nog wat laatste aan wijzigingen voor de route naar het restaurant mee. Zeer lief.

The name says it all - this place is certainly wee, but what a treat if you can get in. I was looking for a quick coffee before a meeting, and had a very tasty latte as well as a traybake which was also very nice. It's a very small and unobtrusive place and you could easily miss it, but look for the Illy sign outside. There are 3 tables each with 3 seats and another 2 where you can sit at the window. The toilet wasn't in operation when I was there. There was a constant stream of people coming and going and the 2 staff were very friendly with smiles. At £3.50 for a coffee and traybake I thought that was very reasonable too. Highly recommended.

I am a regular patron of the wee coffee bar as I work nearby and I can't speak highly enough of it. On what is a very competitive area for coffees and lunches this for me is the best. The food is superb - great bacon rolls, coffee, sandwiches on lovely fresh bread and outstandingly good soups and salads. All freshly made on the premises and great value for money. All served by 2 of the nicest amd most hardworking girls in Edinburgh. There is simple seating for about a dozen or so. Just across road from EICC so if you are at a conference there skip the boring buffet and pop across for a real lunch treat.

I popped in here for a sandwich and a coffee. Wee coffee? No! Big on flavour with an excellent sandwich all served with a smile.

Visited this week during a short trip to Edinburgh. Was greeted by the friendly owners and had a super coffee and the tastiest sandwich I've eaten in ages. Well worth the visit - and will definitely visit again next time I'm in Edinburgh, Keep up the good work girls!

I was attending a conference across the road and the coffee there was not up to my standards (too bitter, no balance), so I tried a couple of other coffee shops across the road. The Wee Coffee Bar was, for my taste, the best of the bunch with an espresso that provided a good balance of taste, bitterness, and acidity. In addition, the staff was very nice and polite.

Stumbled across this little place...very good value...illy coffee and large pasty for £3.20...soup looked great too... large bowl of homemade soup and large chunk of homemade bread. Free Wi-Fi....what is the not to like? And not part of a chain too...highly recommended.

Ich habe zwar nur einen Espresso mit meinen letzten pounds, die ich noch hatte bestellt aber der war sehr lecker. Und ich konnte mich vor dem Rückflug nochmal gut entspannen. Mit free WiFi.

Spotted this place as walking into the conference centre (across the road) on day one of my conference. Walked out of conference centre when I smelt the coffee there (I didn't even try it) and crossed the road. Instantly made a home and super coffee. Walked in day two to be asked if I wanted my regular.Food looks good as well :D

Really great place with fab service and beautiful coffee. The prices were good and I made sure I went back the following day for a repeat visit.

I escaped the conference centre opposite and had some really good porridge here and a decent cup of coffee. Nice little place.

I'm a regular here. Food is great, especially the soup which is consistently the best I have come across in Edinburgh. Staff are great too.

Excellent coffee and croissant, lovely staff, snappy service and fabulous price. The High Street Giants should take note, and I didn't even have to give my name or wait to be processed in a queue.

I have been in this establishment many times and it is just a great wee cafe. No frills just great. Don't miss out on it.

We were attending an event at the festival in the Edinburgh International Conference a Centre which surprisingly does not have a cafe or restaurant that serves hot food, came across this little cafe across the road which did a wonderful toasted sandwich and cup of tea. Quite a tiny place but has very nice and helpful staff and good food. Well worth searching out if looking for a snack of light meal while at the festival or in the city.

Like many of the reviewers, I work close by and this is my first choice for lunch. Food quality never disappoints, great bread, generous portions, and my favourite sandwich, smoked salmon and egg mayo, is usually sold out if you don't pre-order or get there before 12! Soups regularly changing and adventurous and interesting sandwich fillings.Staff are excellent - very helpful and efficient, always a smile and warm welcome.

I work nearby, so I'm a regular customer of them. Girls who own the place really care about the quality of food, all the products are fresh, every day there're 2 type of soups, fresh sandwiches, which are made with yogurt, rather than mayo. Healthy and less fat :) baked potatoes and salads and nice as well. Whatever you prefer you're not gonna be disappointed.

Best tasting coffee and bacon sandwich in the city! Mega soups, sandwiches and service with a smile ;-))

I had time to kill before going into a meeting and saw this place across the street. What a little gem! The coffee is great and the toasted wrap I had was fantastic. Will defo go out of my way to turn up early to go in for a coffee again some time.

Piccolino, pulito, personale gentilissimo.È stato un punto fermo per 4 giorni nei quali abbiamo trovato un ottimo caffè, cappuccino, dei fantastici scones che preparano come desideri.Merita una sosta

This is a great spot for a light lunch. Everything is homemade and very fresh and tasty. Great sandwiches - I recommend anything with the homemade coleslaw. They usually have two types of home made soup which is nearly always fairly unusual and can be quite spicy. The two girls that run the place are very welcoming and helpful and there is free wifi if you like that kind of thing.

Il posto è carino, piccolino, il bagno pulito. Il mio ragazzo (scozzese) ha preso uno scone e l'ha trovato molto buono! Come opzioni senza glutine purtroppo c'erano solo la zuppa (fa un po' troppo caldo per la zuppa) e poi le patate ma ne erano sprovvisti quindi niente... Peccato.

This friendly and vibrant wee cafe has a great selection of fresh sandwiches and hot food. Everything looks delicious. They use real chocolate syrup in their mochas/ hot chocs, which just makes them divine - rich and properly chocolatey!

The girls have made a great addition to the area's multitude of cafe options. Everything is fresh, with some great and unusual combinations in their pre made sandwich collection and a couple of speciality soups that change daily.There's a small area for sitting in for a quick but slightly more civilised lunchtime snack.They can make a decent cup of coffee too.Well worth a visit.

This place is amazing. Super soup. Smashing spuds. Perfect paninis. Staff great too and really friendly. Very well worth trying if you're around the West End and looking for a decent lunch on the go. Serious value for money. Our office is nearby and we go lots.
