Baobab Tree Cafe in Edinburgh

My partner and I regularly order take away and eat in here. The food is always delicious and the staff are efficient and friendly. Hands down my favourite cafe in the whole of Edinburgh. Never disappointed and when I had special dietary requirements they were taken care of without hassle. Fab place. Would recommend again and again. Can’t stress how good the food is. Much love to these guys. Always brightening my days. Thank you! :D (The girl with the bacon.)

Excellent food! Nice people! Beautiful!! Chef even gave me a taste of the lamb liver... Also delicious 😋

I love the food and service at La Viola. The food is excellent value and the best value restaurant/café in Edinburgh. The staff are more than willing to serve you as best as possible with a smiling face. I highly recommend it ❤️

Wonderful efficient and polite staff and lovely food. Very generous portions too! I had the honey & soy chicken and it was absolutely worth the price! I was too stuffed to try one of the amazing looking cakes but will definitely be back to do so in future!

Went for brunch, lovely selection albeit not original, had a lovely French toasts and barchette with white chocolate cream (if you wonder what they are, you can find them online typing the name). Wonderful little foam art (see photo) that made the experience a little more memorable.. Compliments to the barista!

Had two coffees and two orders of french toast which were amazing! Really friendly and quick service. With comfortable atmosphere. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! Cakes look amazing with great selection of cannoli :)

We came here last Saturday. Homemade scones were very nice! Good quality coffee. The cake was beautifully presented and everything we ordered, we enjoyed. EDIT - gave 5 stars instead of 4 as staff were polite and friendly. The 4 stars were a preference only, not anything negative about this place. (I'm unable to reply to owner on this for some reason)

Cannoli was okay, very crunchy but the filling was good. Victoria cake was good though. It was nice and the filling complements the sponge. Marlenka was delicious as well.

After the disappointing options at the hotel, we decided to venture out for breakfast.We stumbled upon La Viola and decided to give it a try.I must say that I am thoroughly impressed.LocationThe restaurant is located close to the royal mile and the busy tourist locations. It's an easy walk from most of the major hotels.ServiceThe staff are super friendly and you can tell that they are invested in the success of the business. The waiting time is not bad at all.FoodWe don't usually like eating out for breakfast because I honestly think I can do better at home but the food here is worth the visit. I don't even like sausages but the ones they serve are divine. Check out the sweets and cakes. It's perfect for afternoon tea.PriceVery reasonable. In fact, I expected to pay more for what we were served.In conclusionIf ever you are in Edinburgh, it's probably worth skipping the hotel breakfast a few times and eating at La Viola.
