Our Guestbook
“ Absolutely love the flat white at Books N’ Cup Cafe! The coffee is yum and the staff is so so warm! It is the perfect cozy little cafe you’d like to visit when you want to spend a no yap day by yourself, reading a book and sipping on some delicious coffee! ”
“ Lovely cafe with good coffee and pastries - and really beautiful handmade mugs. Recommended for a tasty breakfast! ”
“ All of it is really good! The service so kind and fast. The coffee and toast just incredible! And the place, decoration and atmosphere is superb. They are Pet friendly!!! Please, stop here and have a latte. You will not regret it. ”
“ I come here 1-2 times a month, and it never disappoints. Regardless of what time you arrive, the drinks are superb. Average Edinburgh prices. My favourite is their chai latte, but I also sometimes order mocha or matcha. I don't order food often, but I have tried a couple of pastries, and they're fresh and tasty. It can get very busy in the afternoon, sometimes it is full with no seats left (especially 1-2pm), but if you come in the morning (9-11am) there's a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for reading or working on your laptop. Understandably, there's a couple of tables that have labels saying 'no laptops,' but if you come in the morning you can snatch a table that doesn't have a label and work away. ”
“ Such a comfortable and cosy cafe with a relaxing ambience. Our croissant toasties were so yummy, loved everything from the cheese to fresh vegetables to chutney. Hot chocolate and mocha were also really good. Staff were friendly as well. Wish we were in Edinburgh longer so we could have this again. One of our best meals there! ”
