Word of Mouth Cafe Morningside in Edinburgh, City of

Visited here on Wednesday for a coffee and cake/ roll. Waitress came for our order but we weren’t quite ready. We then waited for 20 minutes with no one coming over to offer service. Meanwhile we were watching one member of staff working flat out to make coffees whilst 4 others flirted, laughed and joked with each other behind the service counter. We tried to catch the attention of the non working group behind the counter by holding our arm up etc but were totally ignored. Eventually I went up to the counter to ask for service (sorry to spoil your fun guys) informing them that we were actually about to leave as we’d been ignored for so long. They then all separated and disappeared and someone else appeared for our order. This arrived quickly and was of a good standard. Before we’d quite finished one of the girls from the flirting group came over and whisked away a plate and cup. I was not finished and my friend had only just swallowed his last mouthful of coffee. She was definitely ‘in a huff’. Later we tried to get attention to pay the bill. Guess what- we just went up to the counter in the end. We won’t be back even though we are locals. 3 stars is for the food and coffee -0 stars for those particular staff.

Super friendly staff, amazing food, very cozy atmosphere, it's everything you want in a cafe. Genuinely a flawless experience, shall definitely be back!!!

I have done the Word of Mouth Cafe in Leith a few times, and this was my first time in Morningside in quite a while, and I was in the need of a quick brunch to get me through the rest of the day. Excellent location, and the staff are very freindly. Ordered a coffee and a breakfast roll (well, Ciabatta!) to go and it was freshly prepared in no time. Good prices , and if in the area again I will be sure to visit here once more.

incredible coffee - the flavour, the temperature, the latte art - this place has it all. Nice clean and crisp interior, quiet but not dull, great place to study and the coffee is really good value compared to most other cafes ! Service was also very smiley and warm and the music was a vibe. If you could rate more than 5 stars, I would :)

Excellent cafe with brilliant service. The owners are always so friendly and the food is prepared fresh and tastes amazing. Proper coffee too. We’re regulars and love it!

A lovely little cafe well worth a visit. I had the lemon chicken flatbread and it was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient - would definitely go again.

In Word of mouth Morningside today. I had a Mumbai chai, it was lovely creamy and spicy also had a chocolate brownie which was also amazing, it has a really pleasing texture and mistaking the chocolateliness, left on a bit of a high. A great way to start my day. As usual the staff were warm and friendly and a lovely relaxed atmosphere 😊 would quite happily visit here every day. Too bad I live in the other end of town.

Excellent wee cafe. Food fantastic, really prepared and presented well and tasted amazing. Good service too. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

A great experience. Very generous portions - delicious home cooked food with a friendly and easy going atmosphere. Friendly staff. Seriously impressed. Can’t think of anything negative. We needed food before a show at the Churchill theatre. We were given a table and food was very quick. There are lots of cafes nearby and this is one of the best.

Stopped in with a friend for brunch & we had the soup of the day and veggie breakfast! Really lovely food and staff - a great start to the day!

I visited Word of Mouth on Sunday 10th April with my husband, daughter and toddler grandaughter and we were made to feel very welcome. The surroundings are very clean and contemporary. There was something delicious on the brunch menu for all of us. We will definitely return.

A little family lunch today in this little gem of a place in Morningside. Nice good, great coffee and a lovely vibe. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Amazing something and eggs .. I had the eggs Benedict and Mrs b had poached eggs ... Brilliant food and service! And awesome coffee too !

I went into this cafe thinking it was still Rocket ,which was its name before Word of Mouth. Excellent coffee and very moist delicious Chocolate and Orange cake. Will return

Good local cafe with a mix of Scottish & European options, including Greek food. Spanakopita & waffles both very tasty on our first visit & I'm sure I'll be back. Service quick & friendly.

When we think about grabbing a coffee, Word of Mouth is always our first option and it never disappoints. It’s a lovely spot at Morningside road, offering a selection of breakfast food, smoothies, cakes and Greek pastries— with vegetarian options too. The food was absolutely amazing – do not miss the orange and chocolate cake! The staff always make us feel welcome and give us an amazing experience. In terms of COVID compliance, there are protective screens between tables and a hand-sanitiser placed on each table so I’ve always felt safe. I’d recommend you grab a mocha on your way for a stroll to Blackford hill, or invite your friends to catch up over breakfast!

This place is lovely for food and staff. Clean and PPE safe. All day breakfast is great. Its fresh and bright and not too big a place.

Very clean, served quickly, excellent fresh food and good coffee. Would recommend it if visiting Edinburgh.

Food was lovely, very tasty and warm, well presented and all good. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and good service. All round this is a lovely little cafe that should succeed but.... The Covid considerations were poor. I don’t think the tables are sufficiently spaced...

I visited this cafe last weekend with some friends, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and the food was fantastic, (Eggs Benedict cooked to perfection) along with the freshly roasted coffee. This is a family run cafe, just recently opened, owners were very helpful, the...

I visited this cafe last month and I was very impressed. I had eggs benedict and a cappuccino.Service and atmosphere were superb. Well done guys.

I've lived in Edinburgh a year and have visited quite a few coffee spots and this one is definitely my favourite of the lot. Really great coffee (the best mochas I've found!), a very nice atmosphere in the place, and lovely, personable and warm owners....

Good value, great coffee. Discovered this place a couple of months ago. Really friendly welcome and service. 10/10

Great cafe and the owners are lovely people. The cafe is newly opened, bright & clean. Food is delicious, we had full breakfast. The coffee is excellent too! Highly recommend and reasonably priced.

I just came back from my long walk and at the end I decided to visit Word of Mouth. I have to say, very friendly, happy chappy. I didn't have to wait, in others I show people waiting outside. Nice mocha and pear tart. I'll...
