The Mill Balerno in Edinburgh
"THE MILL CAFE is an outreach from the Balerno parish church for the community. We are a part of Edinburgh community cafes. THE CAFE is run by volunteers and a small staff team, for the community at the heart of the community. We have a beautiful open space and gardens to enjoy good barista coffee, tea's , homemade cakes and soup. Pancakes , bacon rolls , toasties and a few other menu items. Great for a visit after a walk along the water of lieth or in our local pentland hills. We enjoy having a chat with our locals and visitors. The Cafe is run not for profit and any surplus after costs go to local projects,initiatives and charities close to the hearts of our residents .please stop by,we look forward to meeting you. 😊"

Glad to see it open again. Lovely community cafe, excellent home made food. Bacon rolls are a welcome addition to the menu

This is where you have a local, relaxed atmosphere. Where everyone knows each other and strangers become friends. Very reasonable priced limited fair but quickly serviced by local volunteers and with a smile. Don't expect an a la carte restaurant, as this certainly isn't. It's a large church owned hall, with a kitchen on site. Where local baking, is matched only by the local get togethers. If you're new to the area and wanting to know more about it, I'd recommend a visit

Spacious seating and covid rules in place. Enjoyed lovely soup with tasty bread. A relaxed atmosphere.

What a busy place! 50-100 people they serve, usually, and yet the atmosphere is anything but frenetic thanks to the super volunteers. Delicious soup and there are sandwiches and salads etc. Nothing fancy. Just what you want for a simple lunch. It's fair trade too. What an inspiration to other places this community cafe is.

Lovely wee cafe! My friend + I popped after a walk round the reservoir. Friendly service, food was tasty and reasonably priced. Excellent flat white and delicious carrot cake as well! We will definitely back!

Another of Balerno's secret delights! This community cafe is a jewel. As well as the usual hot and cold drinks, there is a wide range of delicious cakes, pastries and scones. Various soups are available and lunch dishes. The venue is large and obviously very popular with local people. Well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed!

The food here is prepared and served by I presume volunteers, it's attached to the church and I assume profits go to the church. The place is not open every day. I think it's a Thursday that it's shut.Very good service and food. No hesitation in recommending it. More cafe than restaurant, but hot food, soups etc. are served.

Love this community cafe. Run for the local community with volunteers. We go on Tuesdays and the staff are lovely. The food is yummy and very well priced.
