Southern Cross in Edinburgh

The food was decent and the atmosphere was pleasant. I had eggs Benedict with salmon, which was tasty but the egg and bread came out cold. Our main complaint though was my wife had ordered blueberry pancakes, and we were informed 30 minutes later that they were out. Not at the time of ordering, and not right after that order was brought to the kitchen. Led to a delayed breakfast and a delayed exploration of the city after.

We discovered this cafe while we were taking stroll in Edinburgh. It’s a beautiful cafe with friendly helpful staff . The service was good too.We tried their cake , brownies and waffles loved it . The ambiance was top too . Pricing was reasonable not too cheap not too expensive either . It’s a cosy restaurant and not too spaciousI would definitely recommend this cafe in Edinburgh.

One of my favourite cafes in Edinburgh. Their oat chai latte is delicious and they have a really good selection of cakes. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful aesthetic also!

On Cockburn street this is one of our favourite Edinburgh cafes , on this visit we both had flat whites and the Eggs Benedict which were delicious , lovely friendly staff and a nice atmosphere makes this a wonderful spot for a light lunch as you wander down the Royal Mile, liked the elephant motifs found throughout the café as well

The place to come for a top quality delicious breakfast. Staff are welcoming and the venue has a very relaxed atmosphere. Background music is played which could be a little much for some early on but this is inkeeping with the relaxed and friendly vibe.Looking at the menu this venue is also perfect for lunch and afternoon teas. Lots of delicious cakes entice you in from the front window.

Lovely seating, much bigger than it looks! No vegan options at all though.

Excellent food all homemade.excellent service staff and manager brilliant and very polite nice surrounding went b4 lockdown and had to return this year. And everything was just as good as I remember it. Definitely a place I would visit each time I visit Edinburgh.

Had the vegetarian breakfast. It was really great. I’m very picky when it comes to coffee, but I love the coffee here. They use excellent coffee beans. What’s unique about this cafe is the vibe and its atmosphere, the choice of songs are fantastic. Will definitely come back.

Lovely cafe, breakfast menu had a nice range to cater to all. I had the blueberry pancakes, there was a slight issue where the pancakes were very hard and I couldn’t cut them, the lovely staff arranged some fresh cooked again and were very apologetic, they were delicious! Highly recommend, staff go above and beyond here and it’s a lovely atmosphere very warm and welcoming!

Great place to stop for coffee / tea and cake.The cakes are really tasty, just like home made cakes should taste. We were given very generous spices of cake. Both the coffee cake (which actually smelt and tasted of coffee, unlike some cafes) and carrot cake were lovely and will certainly stop there again.There is both indoor and outdoor seating, plus toilets inside.
