Really not a huge Starbucks fan BUT for this view.. a dream! Very cosy and quitlet on the top floor and plenty of room to sit. Banana caramel muffin was delicious too. Right next to princess gardens. Bathrooms available.
The postcode took me to a slightly different side but once I walked to the main road, there was the Starbucks I was after. The view is amazing.
Expect crowd at anytime as it is a popular go to coffee place. People are working, chatting, people watching there.
We literally waited for 20 minutes to be seated near the window as it's from where you can see the spectacular castle.
Lovely place to stop for a coffee and a rest if you've been walking round Edinburgh. Downstairs is tiny with just a small service area for if you're on the go but upstairs is huge! There's so much seating and the view of the castle is amazing. Very picturesque.
Our drinks were great and the staff were lovely.
This Starbucks is around the corner from my hotel, the Kimpton. I just came to get morning coffee (first pic at 9am, others at 3pm) and was surprised to see how spacious and light it is. I came back this afternoon to do some journaling over a cup of coffee. There was hardly a seat open! Most people are working here with computers, though the table of girls next to me are saying their internet is unreliable. Things to consider. I know people aré saying it’s a great view of the castle, but just a few seats have that view! Anyway, it’s a great Starbucks. Hard to miss from the front since the first floor is only the takeout counter and the main store is upstairs.
Came for the view and it did not disappoint. Stunning windows and view of the castle, great for people watching. It got a bit crowded and the drinks tasted okay, service was great especially considering how there was an incredibly long line and only one cashier and one barista!
What a great position for a Starbucks. Edinburgh castle is just across the road and as Starbucks is situated on the first floor (no ground floor) the views are lovely just sitting next to the window overlooking Princes Street.
Its a big Starbucks so there are plenty of nice window seats.
It has all the normal range of coffees, teas and snacks.
My favourite is their very fragrant Earl Grey tea and their luxury fruit toast.
Toilets are also on the first floor.
Staff are always very friendly and helpful as well as keeping the restaurant clean and tidy.
Your average Starbucks. It's quite nice, however, with a pretty interior full of lots of seating and big windows. The food there is good and arrived quickly.
Their coffee was good as always. Yet, I had to remind them of my order after 10 minutes 😊Apparently, they forgot it. The guy on the cashier can be more welcoming.
Great view. Didn’t try any of the drinks. Met my Auntie’s South African friends, who seemed lovely.
It’s just your regular Starbucks but man…the view is absolutely unlike any other view you’re going to get in this country…from a Starbucks lol
