What Customers Say

"This family-run cafe made us so comfortable and happy that we were back 2 days in a row for breakfast. Our favourites are the Scottish breakfast, and the baked potato with tuna & sweet corn! Service was quick & attentive. All the best!"

"We visited The Coffee Mill Cafe for breakfast as a group during a busy time and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. While the exterior is quite modest, the atmosphere inside was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Service was excellent – friendly, efficient, and attentive. Even during the morning rush, tables were cleared and cleaned promptly, which added to the overall positive impression. We ordered a variety of breakfasts: one full Scottish, one full English, and a couple of American-style breakfasts, along with a pot of tea, fresh juice, and coffee. Everything arrived very quickly, freshly prepared, and well-cooked. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast experience. The Coffee Mill Cafe delivers great food and service in a cozy setting – highly recommended if you're in Edinburgh."

"The food’s really tasty (I’m from Indonesia, and the flavors totally match my Asian taste); the staff are super friendly; and the food comes out fast. It's a clean place with adorable room decor "

"Fabulous family run cafe. My mrs. and I were looking for non crowded, non americanised cosy cafes in the area and stumbled upon this little beauty. Apart from the fact that the owner offered to serve me on toast to my wife because they didn't have avocado :D the proceedings were much less scary for me once this conversation was out of the way. Lovely geezer him the fella made us feel at home :) The scran was scrumptious and served with love and lovely bit of british banter on the side! In case you read this mate thank you for a lovely morning. And yes I was extra careful not to upset the mrs. on International Womens Day. Definitely coming back on our next trip to Edinburgh."
