Possibly the prettiest thing you’ll find in Edinburgh this year.

Our Edinburgh cups are covered in little details from the city, made for slow walks, cold mornings and coffee on the Royal Mile.

Come find your favourite one.

Autumn has properly arrived at Cafe Edinburgh 🍂☕️

Our new seasonal menu is here, with a few things made for colder days on the Royal Mile.

🍁 Cafe Edinburgh Waffle with crispy bacon, fried egg, smashed avocado, pickled onions and our new hot maple sauce. Sweet, spicy and seriously good.

🍵 Vanilla Maple Spice Matcha Latte with vanilla, maple and cinnamon.

🍎 Baked Apple Pie Matcha Latte with baked apple, cinnamon and vanilla.

🍊 Cinnamon & Orange Earl Grey and our fruity Cranberry Spice Tea for something properly warming.

And that’s only part of the new menu 👀 We’ve got a few more autumn additions to show you. Pictures coming very soon.

A coffee outside. Something sweet on the table. Absolutely no hurry to leave. ☕️🍰

A little Paris mood, right here in Edinburgh. Our wee terrace sits on the Royal Mile, with café tables tucked beside the old stone buildings and plenty to watch while your coffee cools. People finding their way, stopping for photos, disappearing down the closes. Pull up a chair and enjoy it for a while. 🤎

If you’re exploring Edinburgh’s Old Town, join us at Cafe Edinburgh for breakfast, a slow brunch or a coffee and cake stop between the sights. Meeting a friend for lunch? Taking a break from walking up yet another hill? There’s a seat with your name on it. 🍳☕️

Sit outside when the weather plays along, or settle indoors when Edinburgh does what Edinburgh does. A little rain is a perfectly good reason to stay for another cup. 🌦️

Find us beside John Knox House, right on the Royal Mile. An easy stop during a day of exploring, and an even better excuse to put the map away for a bit. 📍

Save this for your next Edinburgh café stop, and send it to the person you’d happily spend an hour people-watching with. 🫶

You’ve seen the Royal Mile. Come see a little of what’s behind our door ☕🤎

A few corners of Cafe Edinburgh, where a quick coffee can turn into breakfast and “we should get going” can wait another ten minutes.

Whether you’re meeting a friend, taking yourself out for brunch or resting your legs after Edinburgh’s many stairs, there’s no need to make a whole occasion of it. Come in, find a seat and decide what you fancy.

Exploring the Old Town is hungry work, after all.

📍 Find us on the Royal Mile, right next to John Knox House.
Walk in when you’re passing. We’d love to have you.

A table on the Royal Mile. A view of the city moving past. 🍻

We’ve got Stewart Brewing’s Edinburgh Gold and Stewart’s L***r ready for an afternoon that doesn’t need much of a plan. Take a seat outside Cafe Edinburgh, pour a glass, and watch the street for a while.

Are you choosing the golden ale or the l***r? 👇

It’s only 20 September, but is anyone else already looking forward to the next Pride Edinburgh? 🏳️‍🌈

A few months have passed since the city centre filled with colour, music and thousands of people walking together through Edinburgh. The Royal Mile was alive from one end to the other, and our terrace had a front-row view as the Pride march passed directly outside.

If you’re already making plans for the next Edinburgh Pride, save this spot. Cafe Edinburgh sits in the heart of the Old Town, right on the Royal Mile beside John Knox House. Grab breakfast, coffee, pancakes or something cold, take a seat outside and watch the celebration move through the city centre.

No tickets. No bookings. Just arrive early, find your table and enjoy Pride from one of the best-positioned cafés on the Royal Mile.
