Welcomed warmly by charming young staff and offered a choice of seats. The cheese lounge has a french/mediterranean bistro vibe to it with tiled walls and smoozy cuban lounge music playing gently in the background. Walk in customers to the shop take priority, so be prepared to wait. We wanted to take advantage of the excellent deal of a cheese board for two with a bottle of house white or red (£20), but were refused a taste of either,albeit most politely. We went for the white, Gran Cerdo which unfortunately wasn't to our taste. They had ice buckets, but no ice, though did offer to keep it in their fridge between glasses. The cheese board was kindly made up of some requested favourites and some new ones to try, all accommodating my cow's milk intolerance, presented with a low-down on each, evidencing where their expertise lies. Some delicious cheeses, though for some odd reason they toasted the lovely crusty bread that accompanied them. We would have preferred the option of plain bread as by the time we were ending our selection the toast was brick hard. The quince was a welcomed sweet addition alongside all the savoury tastes. My husband gave up on the Cerdo wine and requested two different reds. First was delicious but second was served from a very cold fridge, coming colder than the whit, which although have experienced in some lands, disappointingly prevented the rich flavours to come through. Shame. So despite a relaxing ambiance, charming staff and delicious cheeses, we feel the lack of wine knowledge prevented this from being an 'excellent' review.

Another visit to The Maytree in Bruntsfield for some lunch was another great experience. We had Mushroom soup with toasted Focaccia filled with Bacon, Brie & Cranberry along with Tea and Chocolate Hazelnut slice. Food brilliant, served by a very friendly happy waitress. Music soundtrack just magic !!! See you again soon.

5 stars for the food quality and quantity both!! Delicious taste and such lovely staff atmosphere, loved everything! ❤️

Lovely staff and great space. I only had coffee but next visit will most likely have some of the delicious looking food. I think it was the manager who went above and beyond. Thank you!

A wonderful meal. Thank you. The Seabass was fabulous

So relaxing great atmosphere staff were great

Coffee stand near a good park area

The smoked salmon bagel was divine and the people there is so nice would love to become a regular if I lived near here!

Big shout out to what must be a fantastic coffee shop. I was only passing on the 36 bus and I fell in love with Project Coffee simply because of the beautiful sight of 3 people reading while sitting at the window. Picture taken from bus window

Had a lovely breakfast, and the service was friendly and fast.

Friendly and helpful staff. Hotel quite outdated and in need of refurbishment in places. Staff worked very hard.

Oh wow! We thought it’ll be nice to have dinner in a restaurant instead of going to a pub! High hopes however the battered cod & chips was tasteless and pretty oily¿ How can a simple dish fail In a hotel restaurant! Never again

I have been coming to this cafe for years and I’m now at the point where I won’t be back. I am so tired of the rudeness that I encounter every time I go. It would be bad no matter what the prices but if I’m spending 4.50 for a sandwich I expect at least a smile and a hello, or heaven forbid a thank you. I rarely get eye contact, there is never a smile, the servers are consistently on their phone or talking to each other ignoring customers. One day I just gave up and walked out because I couldn’t get served. There is an express soderburg around the corner and the gentleman in there displays EXCELLENT customer service. He is always polite and welcoming and as a result I tend to spend more money with him. The service on in the meadows is utterly appalling as a result I won’t be back to any. There is a coffee shop that has just opened up next door so I’ll save my money for them.

Amazing store and the staff are always friendly and helpful! 10/10 will shop here again!

This place is a shambles. Absolute chaos. No one seems to know what they are doing. Running about all over the place. Took ages to order. Took ages to get our order. Then they forgot our drinks. Everyone working there seemed to be taking orders, dealing with the orders, taking payments, clearing tables. Chaos reigns. Watching other tables, you could see it was a similar experience for them. Kitchen staff left at 8 on the dot. Shouting cheerio. Have a great weekend to the other staff. Music playing in the kitchen but not in the cafe but loud enough so everyone could hear it. The ice cream is nice but this whole set up should be much, much better. Luca's is an Edinburgh institution. What a mess.
