Me and my sister popped in for a roll and coffee. Food was so fresh and hot and was absolutely delicious! Lovely staff as well, next time we’re in Edinburgh we’ll definitely be back. Also the new pumpkin spice syrup was lovely ☺️

Food was fresh and hot! Had everything you needed for a traditional Scottish breakfast! They really do load your plate. Very limited seating, so be prepared to wait on a busy morning.

Had an amazing relaxed morning at the Fountain Cafe today. Will definitely be back. Staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive! Ordered the maple and bacon pancakes and safe to say, one of the best breakfasts I have had in a while. If I could rate higher than 5* I would. A really good vibe.
