Caffe Piccolo in Edinburgh

Amazing little cafe! Incredibly lovely staff and the vegan breakfast roll was so tasty - all on homemade bread too 👌Great coffee, and amazing value for money!I’ll come back next time I’m in Edinburgh :-)

Great service! Very good coffee and paninis

Friendly staff + cheap but delicious food = 👍🏻

The rudest staff I’ve ever experienced anywhere. We arrived at 11am hoping to get a coffee and some hot chocolates. We were aggressively informed that we had to eat if we wanted to sit down and that there was a sign on the door about it. We had missed the sign so I turned to the others to ask if anyone wanted to eat. Before we could even discuss whether we wanted to eat, the staff member was, again aggressively, telling us we all had to eat, it wasn’t good enough for one person to eat. I’m not sure is she had misunderstood what we were discussing but it was incredibly bizarre and rude the way she was speaking to us.There were several empty tables and it wasn’t lunchtime but even so, I don’t mind if a cafe wants to insist on people eating as well as having drinks. However, if that is your rule, you can still be polite about the way you tell potential customers that you don’t want to serve them. She was unbelievably aggressive and rude and although we had decided we did want to eat as well as have coffees, at this point we felt so unwelcome we just left. Avoid this place at all costs.

Lovely sandwiches, loved the focaccia which was massive and you can customise to make the sandwich exactly how you want.Lovely owner and chef too. Recommend visiting!Chocolate cake was also very good. Gluten free roll too available which is smaller than the other normal bread but still lovely and customisable.

The Café with heart. I had a really enjoyable lunch at Caffé Piccolo, made to order and exactly as I like it. Better than the food was the owner and cook, both sweethearts. I'll definitely be visiting them again.

Me and mum went in here for some breakfast with our very wet small dog and were met with a very warm welcome! Such a cute cafe with a great atmosphere. The bacon and egg rolls were delicious, reasonably priced and super high quality - we also tried to Carrot Cake which was also amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone in the area - especially if you have a dog. Would definitely come back if in the area.

We've had such a lovely time here!! My husband really enjoyed his bacon &egg roll and my bacon and egg fuccecia just absolutely fantastic!!! Have a great chat with Francesca & Elena, both of them looking after us really well. Love the friendy Italian vibe in this place!! ❤️❤️Thanks to Francesca & Elena for lovely afternoon. Definitely come back again!! ❤️❤️

Me and my girlfriend grabbed breakfast here this morning and it was amazing. Immediately the lady was brilliant with us and our drinks and food were served really quickly. My girlfriend is gluten free and the menu was really accommodating for her and the lady explained exactly how the food was prepared and made. When paying the bill the lady asked my girlfriend if she would like to try her gluten free brownie and it smelled and tasted delicious. We will definitely be back next time we are in Edinburgh!

Very cute cafe with excellent, attentive service. I had a gluten free roasted vegetable and goat cheese panini. I should have taken a "before" but you can see the aftermath! They have a decent selection of gluten free and vegan dishes including desserts. The prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're on Grassmarket.
