A bit of a log jam at tills but staff pleasant enough. Salad fresh, colourful and delicious.

You get to enjoy the art gallery with a great space. Best hot chocolate I tasted in my trip and prices are reasonable

Came here for an afternoon tea with a friend and her baby. Plenty of room to manoeuvre a pram in and around cafe. Allergies and diet requirements were perfectly catered for. Afternoon tea was impressive with 4 savoury items, soup, 2 scones, and 4 sweet treats to try, per person. Bring an appetite! Food was lovely and atmosphere was great. Staff were attentive and accommodating.

We booked an afternoon tea in advance for our trip to Edinburgh. We had to make the reservation through email, and the process went smoothly. They asked about food allergies and accommodated what they could and explained what they could not. The food was great, the service was great, and we all enjoyed the experience.

Food was brilliant and quick although the soup was a bit pricy for what I could see on the cup.

Though a little on the expensive side, high quality cafe food and a very welcoming atmosphere for all. Good for little people as they have entertainment for the galleries you can use (pencils, paper, etc) to keep them distracted!

Love this cafe. Fantastic choice of sandwiches and salads for lunch AND a hugely tempting array of delicious cakes.

We were visiting the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and popped in for a hot drink after being caught in the rain.
With the pot of tea, we also ordered the two types of scones, including one with fruits. The scones came with butter but not with clotted cream. They were pretty fresh, and a nice size - looked craggy like Ben Nevis. Tastewise, they were okay.
