🫤 The service here is shockingly slow and the coffee tastes sooo bad. No one seems to be in charge and everything takes so so long.

    Dirty seats and tables, small portions and food not hot but barely warm. Plate served on disgustingly grubby. Branch on George Street is clean and pleasant but avoid this location. Staff seem nice enough but shocked they serve food on a plate that had clearly not been washed. Picture of seat I wouldn't let my dog sit on its that grubby. Salad leaves that are brown there so past there best. An absolute disgrace

    The service here is shockingly slow and the coffee tastes sooo bad. No one seems to be in charge and everything takes so so long. After waiting for them 10-15 minutes to make one take out coffee, don’t then be surprised when it tastes bitter and burnt. I keep trying to give them another chance because everyone can have an off day, but it’s been 5+ times it’s been similar 😫. It’s a shame because the pastries and sandwiches are fantastic (although pricey ++). Given how much they charge, are they paying and training their staff properly? Not good, not worth the money. Plenty better cafes around.

    Wonderful continental café by the park. I had some Belgian waffles with poached eggs and streaky bacon, with some maple syrup, of course. It was a refreshing breakfast after a few days of eating mostly Scottish food. But the best thing about this café is that you get to admire all the pastries on display. It is my deepest regret that I did not try the Basque Cheesecake or Portuguese Nata. Do not turn your back on these.

    My visit to the restaurant was an average experience. I arrived with great expectations, drawn by the appealing brunch photos and the advertised serving time until 3:00pm. However, the kitchen closed earlier than advertised, leaving only sandwiches as an option. I suggest the establishment adhere to its stated hours to ensure customer satisfaction. As a diner, I expect restaurants to maintain their advertised serving times.

    Sorry to be a bit negative. Didn’t see the recent comments just visited looking the stars and photos. I believed my guts buts I guess UK is UK? I had two breakfast dishes : 1. Egg not seasoned 2. Waffle tasted a bit mild? No butter and felt like made with water instead of milk. 3. Brioche Also not buttered for a egg Benedict. 4. Hollandaise sauce was not that impressive. Not really seasoned. What I think is this place is a less salt place. The look of the food is good. Price is very nice for its food. Nothing is more that £12. Most egg sandwiches are £6 +/-. Love the atmosphere. Front of the park, open windows from the inside. I will try there sandwich and some sweets next time if I come back. Thank you for the kind Sevice.

    Some confusion over order, toilets lacking. We're chalking the experience up to August in Edinburgh...

    A great place for lunch. All of the food is delicious. The bread is fresh, the coffee is tasty, and I’ve never had a meal here that I didn’t love. This deli is right off the meadows making it perfect place to catch up for a meal, coffee, and a walk. I had the Basque sandwich this time around and it did not disappoint. The staff is always friendly and, although you might not have a table as soon as you walk in, you’ll appreciate that you don’t feel rushed or like you’re eating at a table with strangers.

    Our hotel offered no breakfast, so we tried this nice looking deli. The coffee and the food were so delicious that we came here for breakfast the next day too. The service is very friendly. We would love to visit again on our next Edinburgh trip!

    My friend and I had a bad experience with our hot chocolates: they were tasteless and didn't contain chilli nor salt as we ordered. It was basically plain milk with very little chocolate.
