Kilimanjaro Coffee in Edinburgh

"Very warm and incredibly busy café, frequented mainly by students and young professionals. Lots of seating but busy all day. The coffee was tasty, and well-made, although it sat on the pass for a while before making it to my table. The cookie was typical for a coffee shop. Prices are a bit above average, but the space is pleasant and it seems like they use quality beans. It was a nice break from the wet and chilly weather outside."

"The cafe is on the smaller side and very nice. The staff is friendly. Avocado toast was alright, it was nothing special, but all the ingredients seemed fresh. I didn't really like the oat milk used in coffee, but that is a personal preference. I think they use local oat milk, which tastes really strong."

"Lovely place to grab some quick breakfast and coffee. Sad we waited until our last day in Edinburgh to try it or we world have gone more often! Lovely environment and super friendly staff that were quick to serve. Highly recommend!"

"One of my favorite cafes in Edinburgh. Absolutely adore the atmosphere and vibe inside. Large selection of food and pastries alongside a wide range of drinks. The coffee is always at high quality and personally I love the vegan flapjack."

"Good coffee, hearty breakfasts and a nice vibe. Not too much more you can ask for. For breakfast, try not to arrive after 1030 if you can help it, as it gets crowded around that time and you'll struggle to find a good table!"

"Stopped here for a coffee while I was in the local area. I do like a good coffee and this was great coffee. The service is fantastic and I would certainly come back. There’s lots to choose from on the menu, including juices and great cakes."

"There is a good selection of typical brunch items and the food is good - good portion sizes as well. The hot drinks are great and service is quick. Unfortunately, service was a bit rude from the woman taking orders."

"A warm and lively spot that immediately stands out for its inviting atmosphere and consistently great coffee. The beans are roasted with care, producing drinks that are rich, balanced, and full of character. Whether you’re grabbing a quick flat white or settling in with a pour-over, the quality is reliably high. The café’s bright interior and friendly staff make it easy to relax, work, or catch up with a friend. The food offerings are just as memorable—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Their pastries and brunch dishes feel crafted rather than merely served, adding to the overall experience. Combined with its buzz of students, locals, and travelers, Kilimanjaro Coffee captures that perfect blend of comfort and energy. It’s the kind of place you find yourself returning to without hesitation"
