The Colony Gourmet in Edinburgh

Beautiful wall painting and comfortable seating, however that’s about it. Very few options for vegetarians/ vegans ( the “veggie pie” contained fish). Asked to have a pastry and croissant heated and was told that they would taste terrible if they were heated. Prices were extortionate for the portions of food.

Super nice cafe. Quiet and comfy.

Café with excellent coffee and a good selection of baked goods. 9/10 flat white and 8/10 to the cinnamon apple muffin. The best part was the sitting area with relaxing couches for a chat or high tables for working and their signature colourful fresco, see photos.

Amazing Brazilian coffee and authentic food.Beautiful lounge with great decor.Friendly welcoming staff. What a gem!

Great place for a well brewed cup of coffee with plenty of flavour. Sadly there wasn't any vegan items, so wasn't able to try the food (which smelt delicious!). The seating area is very spacious and comfortable. Has a really laid back feel.

It is nice, comfortable, clean and quite cafe. Took me kids with quick breakfast. Interiors was placed nicely, specially bookshelf.

Amazing mocha and their Portuguese tarts were delectable. Can't wait to go back! Sadly the wifi is a bit unreliable so perhaps not the best coffee shop for getting work done but otherwise 10/10

Lovely little cafe. Have been here a few times. Most of their baked goods are very delicious. Wasn't too keen on the brioche items, but the pies are certainly worth a try (especially with the small pickled chillies they sell). Coffee is tasty and atmosphere nice.

Amazing coffee, the best we have tasted in Edinburgh. Really friendly staff, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We stumbled on this little gem on the first day of a 4 day holiday and had breakfast here every day.

Beautiful place with lots of Portuguese pastries and other goodies! Very helpful and friendly staff too. All clean and safely distanced.
