Soderberg in Edinburgh

The coffee I ordered was good but the staff really took their time to prepare it, laughing and chatting with their colleagues instead of serving the customers. I waited almost 10mins for my coffee. Not a good place if you are in a hurry and just want a quick coffee on the go.

Great food, good coffee. Really a nice place for breakfast or brunch. As many people already said, you should try the buns. They are delicous. And i aspecially liked the almond tards.

Hot chocolate and cinnamon bun are perfect. The staff were very welcoming as well.

The cinnamon bun here is good, as well as the exclusive cookies! The calories are low, and its plain flavor is just what I'm really into! The banana cake and the chocolate cake taste great as well. Will definitely go again if I visit Edinburgh again.

Great little café on the meadows. Grab a loyalty card as you will probably be back. Some of the cakes and pastries are pretty good too - and quite unusual. Very popular spot and easy to see why.I particularly liked the Ukrainian tart on my last visit. Very happy to buy one to support the humanitarian effort. Good job Soderberg!

You would think that a café in the heart of the Meadows, where every other person seems to be walking a dog, would offer some purchase mechanism – even for takeout – for customers with dogs. I checked both the Söderberg website and the door signage – no information on either. So I went in to queue at the counter, as there was no outside service hatch. I kept my small dog on a tight lead, and was told 'no dogs inside'.Now I wasn't wanting to sit inside, I simply wanted to purchase from the bakery and go. To be fair they did say they could take my order outside – but if I hadn't gone inside in the first place I wouldn't have been noticed, so catch-22.Yes, I can understand a business adopting this policy for hygiene, customer comfort etc. but I felt quite embarrassed. At the same time there were loads of toddlers running around, directly next to the trolleys of cakes and buns, so I do think this policy needs some thought.The food is good, yes, but that's about all, Söderberg is not what it once was, and has become complacent and pricey in spite of good competition in the area as the business has grown. Contrast this with Kauai, a couple of minutes walk away, which has signage stating it is dog friendly, offers service inside and outside via a hatch, and an app-based click-and-collect facility. Söderberg, this is how it should be done.

Vegan sandwich was exceptional, latte was smooth and light, tarts were tasty! Lovely location too.

Nice and Clean, tasty buns, very slow service even though quiet.. Get more enthusiasm from Costa staff then these guys!!Chai latte needed a stir, wouldn’t mind if they given me a spoon to do myself.However, Buns are what carry them..

I love the interior of this place, a great spot to wind down with a book or get some work done with a lovely view. I ordered a chai latte, which was a little bit disappointing, I would’ve liked it slightly sweeter. The oat latte my boyfriend ordered was good, though! ☕️

The only problem with this place is how (rightly) popular it is! You may have to queue to get in but this will only add to your appreciation of the experience. Build some suspense for that cardamom bun. (Will there be any left?? ) Really bright space, great for studying or socialising (for those who remember how to do that). I got a very reasonably priced (and pretty filling, FYI) spelt scone and filter coffee. No WiFi here but I quite like that about it too.
