The City Cafe in Edinburgh

I love this place! Despite being themed like an American diner, I think this is one of the best Scottish breakfasts in Edinburgh... with black pudding, haggis, tatties scones and square sausage!

Amazing breakfast selection! Big portions and tasty food. Good vegan selection. Friendly staff. The Cafe is nicely themed and the decor is quite nice. Very spacious.

Cute American diner, had a lovely brunch. Coffee was really good and the staff were super friendly and attentive.

Loved the food... all parties enjoyed it. And the staff were very friendly and lovely too can't fault them and do definitely recommend. It's one of the places we visit that we probably don't go enough!

Great cafe, big menu, great Scottish breakfast. We ate here both mornings we were in Edinburgh, friendly staff, great coffee, but busy (so book a table!).Four of us, all eating plus two hot drinks & cold drinks each was around £55-£60 I think. Would go again 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Do you want to join the king for breakfast? Well when you walk into The City Cafe you're greeted by a life size statue of him, which leads into a glitz of Americana. Posters and neon signs adorn the walls an a large dineresque bar runs along one side. Lots of booths dotted around as well. I went for the Scottish breakfast. What I got served was fit for the King. Sausage,bacon,eggs, haggis,black pudding, mushrooms toast and tattie scones. All cooked perfectly a great way to start the day before a day of exploration in Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and efficient and only add to the experience...all in all a great place for food .

Came for our breakfast on the Saturday morning. Busy but staff where great & wasn't long to wait for food at all. We both had the full Scottish breakfast, which was delicious and chocolate bar milkshakes. Great food & great service, thanks 😊

Very friendly staff, stylish decor and excellent music playing in the background. Just ordered some side dishes as a snack and they were very tasty. The haggis bonbons were delicious, wish they sold them in the supermarket. Would recommend if you want a cosy place for snacks, food, alcohol and coffees (which are a good size served in mugs!) and also have dogs as very dog friendly.

Staff were friendly upon arrival. Place looked unique and quirky. In the background there was a pool table. When we got there, unfortunately it was being used the entire time. Wasn't clear if there was a waiting process or not. I loved how attentive the staff were and without portraying as annoying. They timed intervals perfectly and tended to our every need. Food was great and there was a fairly decent selection. Only down side of the whole place was how warm it was. We were right beside the windows too as well as the front door remaining open aswell.

First day in Edinburgh and we found this awesome little breakfast spot! All the food was great but my stand out favorite was the fried eggs as the flavors showed they where extremely fresh! Cappuccino was great as was the mimosa! It was all fantastic and a wonderful start to our trip! The atmosphere was also great full of Americana and flare feeling like a true American diner! If you want a good breakfast I highly suggest giving this place a shot!
