Our Heritage

Our Story Since 2014

Third-wave coffee and warm hospitality on the Royal Mile.

A Haven on High Street

In 2014, when we first boiled our kettles at 57 High Street, Cafe Edinburgh was built around a simple promise: exceptional specialty coffee, honest artisan food, and shelter for anyone who stepped out of the rain.

Over a decade later, the warmth remains unchanged. The tables are still reclaimed Scots pine, scrubbed down at dawn. But while our space preserves this comforting sanctuary, our craft moves forward every day.

Specialty Coffee & Fresh Pastries

We serve carefully selected specialty coffee with clean acidity and sweet balance, alongside delicious artisan pastries and freshly prepared sourdough bakes made every morning.

Whether you come for a warm flat white, fresh pastries from the counter, or three quiet hours with a worn paperback, you are always welcome at our table.
