Jonas NeubertSeptember 16, 2016Awesome Flat White! Really nice and pretty interior, beautiful place to relax, drink your coffee and enjoy the atmosphere or just to grab your cup on the walk.
Upvoted Dec 11, 2024- Annie HallJanuary 29, 2017Great staff, swift service and an excellent Flat White. Worked from this urban, yet cosy little coffee shop on a recent visit; awesome Wi-Fi and relaxed vibe. Can't recommend highly enough!Upvoted Nov 23, 2024
Andrew BurnettFebruary 8, 2017The best coffee in Edinburgh, fact. Very cosy, friendly and simply oozes character. I get coffee here every day, pretty much it's that good!

The Milkman brews excellent coffee and is a friendly, relaxed place to take a break and maybe have a croissant or artisanal chocolate. Favourite place for coffee in Edinburgh's Oldtown.
Michael AmbjornAugust 29, 2016Great spot to pick up an espresso before boarding the train -- or an espresso and a copy of this indie guide when you arrive...
Paige HunterOctober 8, 2018Bit of a squeeze with the seating, but it has a great cozy, welcoming feel. The carrot cake was an excellent treat to go with the coffee.

Darren MurphyFebruary 13, 2016A great addition to edinburgh's coffee circuit - good vibe, good set up and even better coffee.
LaylaDecember 23, 2018Newly added to my favorite places in Edinburgh. Grab a flat white when you鈥檙e walking from Royal Mile to Princes Street.
Leah RSeptember 29, 2017Lovely soya mochas (you have the option of oat milk too) and we were given some shortbread which was really tasty
Cam_in_BrisAugust 16, 2018A beautifully designed little coffee shop. Pastry case is packed with inviting things; iced latte solid.
Andrew TalagaAugust 13, 2023Great coffee & cake. Not much seating so if there is any space on the outside benches then grab a spot before you order
Doug ClintonApril 6, 2018Very much in agreement with other reviews. This is a lovely, small coffee shop. The staff are very friendly and the coffee is excellent.
John HobbsSeptember 23, 2017Great quality smooth flat white. Limited seating in a fresh but sympathetic refurbishment of an historic building. Great place.- LaurenSeptember 25, 2018Both the batch brew & the flat white are delicious. A rare find. Good service, too.
Paige JosephineJuly 6, 2019I had the mocha, it was delicious l! I also had a mix berries doughnut, very good as well
Security AnalystJuly 14, 2022It鈥檚 an independent coffee shop with a great selection of pastries if you get in early.
Hosam JJune 3, 2024we ordered an americano 7/10 and a flate white 8/10, butter croissant 5/10 and pistachio cruffin 5/10
- Rob McGregorJuly 4, 2017Underextracted espresso. Coffee seemed quite dark. Cake offering is lacklustre and seating is very limited.
