Word of Mouth Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Needed breakfast one morning and so came here to find a lovely atmosphere with a range of people inside. It's a little cramped sometimes as is popular but for a reason. I'd recommend the eggs Benedict. Will surely return here.

Ate her for three days in a row during comedy fringe. Small place, worth waiting for a table. Staff and food amazing in such a small place

Small, crammed but cozy. Best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had, very close to ordering a second! Friendly staff and rapid service despite being full to capacity.

I have been here 3 times. It is small and cozy. I have gotten the poached eggs and a cappuccino every single time and I could not recommend this place enough. The prices are good, the service is fast, there is WiFi. If you want a quick and delicious breakfast, this is a go to.

By far the best breakfast i have ever had in my life . Every element was cooked and seasoned to perfection . Not the biggest but every mouthful was delicious . Just wished i lived in Edinburgh !!!

Lovely little cafe in Leith. Friendly staff and tasty food. I enjoyed the spanikopita and the best vanilla latte I've ever had! Would recommend if staying in the area. Only negative is that it's a little small space, but this adds to the cosy atmosphere.

Visited earlier this month on a whim and won’t be back. The place is small and they have crammed in far too many tables so you’re almost sitting on top other customers. The staff were abrupt but pleasant enough and clearly felt they were pleasant enough to warrant a tip (that they added on to the bill without saying anything). I had the full breakfast and it was fine but you could fairly easily make something better at home. The veggie breakfast was pitiful. The place was full so maybe it was just my table that wasn’t up to standard but I won’t be back. When paying, they added the total up on a calculator then put the tip on without asking. They presented the card machine with a total amount and I only saw the actual bill calculation after paying. Really sneaky.

We are breakfast here nearly every morning during our stay in Edinburgh. Food is good quality and very fast service. Would definitely recommend everyone in the area to try this place out☺️

Solides Frühstückscafe. Service schnell und freundlich. Frühstück leicht über dem Durchschnitt. Verkehrsgünstige Lage. Macht man nichts falsch.

A fabulous spot. Great coffee, great food, great atmosphere and amazing staff. Popular with young and old. A place that you’ll always come back to for more of the same.

Really good breakfast, friendly staff, good for children and adults . Coffee good . Loads of choice .Great value

Tolles Café, sehr leckeres Frühstück, humorvolle und freundliche Bedienung. Sehr zu empfehlen. Gerne wieder. Sehr günstig.

Just had a fabulous lunch here. Mozzarella, tomatoes, salad and psto on a fresh toasted ciabbata. Absolutely delicious, Mozzarella was super creamy and everything so fresh. I Absolutely recommend this place for lunch, the coffe is great too. Lovely ambience friendly staff, it's a win on all front.

Probably my favourite cafe in Edinburgh. Great staff, super coffee which is roasted and blended on site. The croque monsieur is the best sandwich in the city. Great breakfast selections too. Large choice of cakes and tray bakes. Always a good atmosphere

Went on a Sunday around 11. The place was very busy but the service, food and coffee were exceptional. Bacon and black pudding on ciabatta very tasty.

Where to begin? Not only does this wee, unpretentious cafe make the BEST COFFEE KNOWN TO HUMAN KIND, but it also serves an absolutely perfect eggs Benedict! Already getting busy at 09:30 on a Saturday morning, we got a table no problem and swift and friendly staff attended within seconds, like a highly efficient pack of catering-raptors. The cafe latte is without doubt the best I have tasted EVER. Every previous cup of coffee merely becomes another blur in what can only be described as 51 years of disappointment in comparison. Dave’s ‘full breakfast’ was exactly that, and considering the speed of its destruction, and the popularity and frequency of its ordering, I’d say it is a crowd pleaser. Believing I am above such things, I opted for the Eggs Benedict, which was not just visually beautiful, but a light, delicious flavour extravaganza. The portion size was perfect and freshly milled black pepper was the icing on the cake. Talking of cakes, it is impossible to look at the array of delicious confections that greet you at the door without either drooling out your own pelvis, or ordering them all and spending the morning stuffed, happy, unable to move, with chocolate all over your face placed with the precision of an 18 month old infant with a large bar of dairy milk. Love this place, and don’t visit it enough.

Heerlijk ontbijtje gehad vanochtend. We hadden allebei de Croque Madame. En een Americano met melk. Super vriendelijke bediening. Wel klein restaurantje dus het zou kunnen dat het voor het ontbijt vol zit. Wij waren gelukkig op tijd.

Tried this little cafe for the first time and was very disappointed. Perhaps the other food is better but their Bacon Panini (they don’t do a bacon roll) was pretty awful. They were so dry, we couldn’t eat them.We also had tattie scones which were awful too. Nothing wrong with the tattie scones as such but they had not been fried or toasted. I suspect they were maybe microwaved but in any event, they were not nice at all. Given the total for the two paninis was almost £10, we were not impressed and would certainly not recommend this place. It’s a shame as we are local and wanted to like it.

Molto amichevoli, cibo ottimo, tutto é preparato sul momento e la località e molto accogliente. Una vera collazione britannica

A little place in Leith, across the street, where you can eat a lot of things from Scotland but not only. Vegetarian, lactose free and decaf options. Friendly staff.

Great food, friendly service. Cullen skink was amazing! Fish cakes were nice and the dipped chips are a real treat. Well worth taking in.

Eccellente locale per la colazione a due passi dallo studentato dove alloggiavamo. Abbiamo provato croissant salato con bacon e formaggio, waffle con sciroppo d'acero, uova alla Benedict. Tutto molto buono.

Small place but extremely popular. Order at the counter and the staff bring the meal. Hubby had eggs florentine and I had yogurt with granola. Prices reasonable and service fast.

We both got eggs royale and commented on how tasty it was! And great coffee. Lovely atmosphere also .

Colazione molto buona, con diverse opzioni. Personale gentile. Porzioni abbondanti. Sicuramente consigliata. Prezzi medio- alti.

A lovely little cafe for breakfast. Gluten free bread and cakes were available. Friendly staff. We went here both mornings we were visiting Edinburgh and we will Definately go back.

Great food and lovely coffee. Lovely service. Busy as it was late Sunday morning. We recommend the waffles - they’re delicious.

I came her alone for a chilled out breakfast and it was great. Word of mouth offers great value for money with a fantastic breakfast menu. I had the full English which was all made with high quality ingredients. There’s a fantastic cake selection too!...

Excellent food with very good service. Certainly value for money. I’ve have been here twice now and both times have been 10/10. Locally sourced good quality ingredients and great cake and coffee

Very friendly staff, we had a lovely fry up. The black pudding was incredible! Could just sit back and relax.

Μετάφραση Google Lovely breakfast ! Fantastic choices, plenty for everyone. Had the Eggs Benedict - lovely, would 100% recommend to go here. May have to queue and wait to get in, only a small cafe but doesn’t take long - maybe 15mins max. All staff...

Lovely breakfast, the service was awesome and very friendly. Very accommodating to our 8 month old son who was offered toast to nibble while we finished our coffees.

They claim to be on the eat out to help out government scheme, but they refuse to honour it after you have finished your meal. Giving two stars as the food was good.

This place is brilliant! Service is second to none, the young man working was running the whole front by himself and making all the coffees, and everyone was seen to very well. The portions are huge - I had the poached eggs and could only...

I have visited the place after I met the other half of the business in Morningside. Since you put your foot inside, you can host the hospitality, friendly and approachable owner and staff. The coffee and cakes and exactly what you expect from a family...

I heard on the grapevine that this cafe was doing takeaways and as I live locally I decided to venture out to get my first 'coffee shop made' coffee in six weeks! Standing in the queue outside and the man in front of us started talking to myself and my daughter. He turned out to be one of the owners and gave my daughter her hot chocolate for free!!! Will definitely go hear again. Thank you so much again. Will recommend to all my colleagues when the madness ends!!!

Llevé a mi nieta aquí cuando la visité, como ella me lo recomendó. Vale cada centavo. El desayuno era delicioso y los huevos estaban cocinados a la perfección. El servicio fue excelente y amable. Lástima que no tuvieran locales más grandes, ya que también lo llenarían. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que esté en Edimburgo.

Lækker morgenmad og friskkværnet kaffe hver dag. Kage for enhver smag. Familie ejet café, hvor der er plads til alle.

Una delicia de local, variadas opciones de desayunos, con el tradicional desayuno escocés, todos muy deliciosos y sabrosos. Atención muy rápida y precios baratos para Edimburgo.

We popped in here for a coffee and couldn’t resist the beautiful looking fresh baked cakes and muffins. Hubby had Red Velvet and I had the most delicious Blueberry Muffin. This is a well run coffee shop with lovely friendly staff.

We had a delicious breakfast at Word of Mouth! The service was fast and very friendly, and the food was gorgeous. A great little spot! I had a quiche and a cappuccino and my boyfriend had the Eggs Royale and an americano, we both loved our meal! The restaurant isn’t very big so don’t expect a ton of room, and it might not be a great spot for large groups, but they make good use of their space and we had a great time.

Oh my goodness what a find!!! I will certainly be giving Word of Mouth to this place! Fabulous Eggs Florentine cooked to perfection thank you!!! Yum yum yum!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!

We had been here previously for coffee but this time it was for breakfast. I had poached egg with bacon and toast and it was superbly cooked, and we also had muesli which was also very much enjoyed. Great location, love the decor and the service is always vg.

Ein schönes, lokales Café mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Etwas klein aber dafür ist das Essen sehr sehr gut! Wir hatten zu 3 Frühstück mit Kaffee und waren alles sehr zufrieden.

Visited Word of Mouth Cafe for a vegetarian breakfast, the service was good as well as the food. Only downfall was that the cafe felt awfully stuffy. Apart from that, I would recommend based on food and service.

Lovley place with traditional breakfast. Excellent service and friendly staff. We had the egg Benedict and coffee. We will be back :)

Very relaxing. Nice fresh food. Friendly and obliging staff. Particularly enjoyed the granola and nicely poached eggs.

A really good place to stop and refuel. Very welcoming and happy to deal with a gf request.

We came here for breakfast late on a Friday morning and it did not disappoint. The service was polite and the food was delicious. Fresh ingredients and proper bacon! Caters to Gluten Free and Vegan too! Would definitely recommend coming here

The full breakfast is cooked quickly in the open kitchen where you can see the staff cooking. It's served hot, fast and it's totally delicious! Seriously, it's one of the best cooked breakfasts I've had in Edinburgh, because the portion size was just right and the ingredients seemed to be of high quality. The flat white was also great! Will definitely be back again and again.

Un petit déjeuner copieux, excellent, autant l'assiette du "scottish breakfast" que les viennoiseries et pâtisseries. Ne vous fiez pas à la devanture ni même à la taille de l'établissement : foncez-y tout simplement !

Have!!! A lovely evening with amazing coffee and sweet!!! Lovely muffin and ofcourse the view???? Amazing❤💗😁

Πολύ καλός καφές,εξαιρετικό φαγητό,το προσωπικό είναι πολύ εξυπηρετικό.Αξιζει να το επισκεφτείτε.Ο ιδιοκτήτης μιλά Ελληνικά πράγμα πολύ βολικό όταν επισκέπτεσαι μια ξένη χώρα

Went to Edinburgh for one week.This place was my favourite .Went there almost every day.The food was amazing the service was super and beautiful coffee I ever had.The staff was very friendly.I could say this place is the best in Edinburgh.Nice menu and very reasonable prices.Very highly recommend.See you soon guys.

I have been many times to Edinburgh. I visited this place few time's. I had the best breakfast ever. Nice atmosphere and a superb coffee. It is the one to try

We went to Edinburgh last month for one week with my husband. We have been to this cafe few times. It was the place to have a nice coffee with a little heart on top and snack or a nice breakfast. Good prices nice food. We highly

Went here based on good reviews here on TA - what a big mistake!

Staying up the road at the Courtyard hotel, dropped in to WOM for brunch on back of TA reviews & recommendations. Not disappointed. Cosy, good menu, good food & good banter with the staff. Do give it a go but get there early as it’s pretty popular!

Really individual cafe with delicious food and fast and efficient service! Would definitely recommend for a yummy breakfast!

Vivo a la vuelta de la esquina y he venido a tomar un café o un brunch unas pocas veces. Muy buen café y pasteles caseros. Las opciones de brunch son de buen tamaño y deliciosas. El personal es muy amable, incluso cuando el lugar está lleno (lo que sucede con bastante frecuencia). No es muy grande, por lo que es posible que tengas que esperar un poco por una mesa los fines de semana, pero vale la pena.

The best eggs Florentine I have had!! For such a tiny place it’s mighty in flavour and character! The breakfast was served quickly and the staff is extremely simpatico! Lovely place if you are looking for a great breakfast! Took a lovely red velvet cake also cus it looks delicious!

Lovely breakfast, very friendly and great service! Would definitely recommend if staying near Leith.

Place was frantically busy due to the fringe, but the overworked staff were top class and service was great. Myself and my wife had delicious poached eggs and cappuccinos (cappuccini?!)

This restaurant was a unexpected find. It’s small and out of the way but has amazing coffee and Eggs Benedict. The staff manages to do great things in a small space. We liked it so much we ate there three times during our stay. The carrot cake and Chai Latte is also exceptional.

Popped in here for brunch after seeing the glowing reviews on TripAdvisor. Arrived at 10.20 on a Sunday and it was full, it was during the Fringe. But despite this only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. The staff are very diligent workers. Menu has lots of good options. I went for the Croque Veggie and chai latte. The Croque was massive and so delicious! Can't fault it. Plus at only £10 for both it is very good value for money. Will definitely come back as I need to try some of the amazing cake.

We are staying just around the corner and have made this Cafe a very, very regular haunt. Very busy on weekends and at breakfast...but worth the wait.

Really excellent breakfast. So many things I wanted on the menu but settled for two poached eggs and bacon on brown toast. Very yellow eggs and delicious thick bacon with a flat white. Friendly service too.

Es un lugar excelente para un desayuno completo, huevos, tocino, salchichas y muy buen café. El pan es lo mejor que he encontrado en UK, no está desabrido, muy amables todos.

Very busy first thing in the morning during the festival but they find you a place and work hard to serve quickly Lots of veggie vegan oat milk options etc They are really on the case

The breakfast was tasty but seems like little too basic for my taste.. (there is also no option to change ingrediens etc - and its indicated in the menu - whats up with that? chefs moody?) People also like their portions big for breakfasts and I dont think a tomato or a shroom thrown in would ruin you.. Coffee was only alright, might be back but would probably be more inclined to try other cafes, there is a lot.

notre premier petit déjeuner en Ecosse, très bon, accessible financièrement. Il y a du choix, je vous conseil bien entendu le full breakfast. là aussi il n'y a pas beaucoup de tables mais ça vaut le détour

If you are looking for a great local cafe, Word of Mouth is a must. They have great food, drinks, and the atmosphere is great as well!

Super leckeres English Breakfast, auch in Veggie-Variante. Die vegetarischen Sausages waren von sehr gutem Geschmack, so dass man auch als Vegetarier den vollen Geschmack erleben kann. Empfehlung!

Delighted to find a cafe in Edinburgh that serves tea for a reasonable price! As someone who does not drink coffee it can be expensive meeting friends when all your after is a decent cup of tea.

Simple, frais, bien cuisiné 😁 c'est délicieux. Copieux, traditionnel, du vrai café fort si vous le demandez. Merci beaucoup.

very cute little cafe - bit of a tight squeeze so you may have to wait for a table. Hands down best poached eggs I've ever had and the thick cut toast is to die for. Highly recommend for breakfast!

This place is tiny but if you can get a seat the food is fab. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty, all good quality ingredients its just a shame they don't allow swaps as this can lead to food waste. The croque monsieur was also good.

Serving great English Breakfast, cakes, pastries and even gluten free bakes. The service is good; the staff are efficient and speeding up orders. The Egg Royale Breafast was good; poached eggs was not overdone; just right, served with Scottish Smoked salmon, English Muffin, which was not hard. The Hollandaise sauce was creamy. All for 7.95 pounds. The full breakfast; Cumberland Sausages, bacon, black pudding, fried mushrooms, tomato, beans, potato scones (yummy and soft) with toast for 7.50 pounds. The breakfast is cooked on the spot and pretty fast. There are about 3 people working in the open kitchen plus 1 waitress. They even sell their coffee beans. Coffee is made fresh.

Lovely little cafe. Staff are great. Went for breakfast- delicious full breakfast and eggs Benedict. It was sooo delicious that we stayed for yummy coffee and cake. Very busy little place but worth the wait

Rdv pour un petit déjeuner salé très bon

Everything on the menu I've had has been excellent. Only problem is it can be very busy so you might not get in.

The coffee was superb and of the four meals ordered, two were utterly delicious (Eggs Benedict and a very generous Croque Monsieur), the Veggie breakfasts were however lacklustre, cold, basic, and a little uninspired. The service felt a little harassed and they'd crammed a couple of four-seater tables into a space much better suited to two, leading to a sweaty and claustrophobic atmosphere, detracting from the food. Cosy in winter but perhaps unbearably stuffy in Summer.

WoM is a gorgeous, homely little place. Whilst punters are crammed in fairly ‘cheek-by-jowl’, this seems to not affect the comfortable intimacy of the place. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating and do their utmost to make you feel at home.
