Rose Street Cafe

Had a great breakfast here with friends. We were staying next door and wanted something quick on our first morning in town. Decent cappuccino and good espresso. The pastries were good and their breakfast bowls were excellent. Polite, friendly staff who seemed to work very well together. There is seating inside and outside weather permitting. It is a very small place so if there aren't seats and people don't look like they are moving you may be in for a bit of a wait.

My mum and I were at the Edinburgh Christmas markets and after some shopping we were looking for a place to get some late lunch/early dinner, we fancied some soup and we came across this cafe. We both got the soup of the day which was lentil and omg it was amazing! Just what we needed to warm and fill us up it was delicious. 😋 This is a lovely wee cafe and I recommend it if you're after a cosy atmosphere & comforting food 🥰

On the way to an other cafe we found this spot and decided to try it. We are glad we did, amazing food with good vegetarian options. French toast with strawberries and banana is my favourite! Amazing, friendly service. Love the look of this place. Must try spot if you’re in town. Highly suggest to try this place. Thank you!

Cosy wee cafe Nice decor, kind of a western theme, which I love Fast attentive waitress Nice quality food Generous portions Didn't take long to come but cooked fresh Reasonably priced Good menu and not too large

The best ‘classic’ vegan breakfast I’ve ever had. (And I have had quite a few!). No nonsense components - just great simple ingredients cooked nicely (inc. vegan haggis!). Also, quick and friendly service, and a nice chilled buzz to the atmosphere, despite being a relatively small cafe. Would definitely recommend popping by for a ‘Vegan Flat Breakfast’.

Fantastic salad and hummus, friendly staff and very good value especially in Edinburgh 🌻

I visited Rose Street Café for breakfast and ordered a Scottish breakfast with gluten-free toast and no haggis or sausage due to allergies. I was told the potato scone was gluten-free as well. When the plate arrived, it still had haggis on it. The staff suggested simply removing it and having me keep the same plate, which is absolutely unacceptable for anyone with allergies. I requested a new plate, and it took about 20 minutes to arrive. When the replacement finally came, it was missing key items—including the eggs that were supposed to be included—and I never received the gluten-free potato scone I had been told would come with the meal. No water was ever offered during the entire experience, which added to the overall feeling of inattentive service. The waitress did give a 10% discount for the hassle, which I appreciated, but it didn’t make up for the repeated mistakes. If a restaurant advertises that they can accommodate gluten-free guests, they should be able to do so confidently and safely. Unfortunately, this café clearly has difficulty with that. Between the slow service and the lack of care around allergens, I wouldn’t recommend Rose Street Café for anyone with dietary restrictions or anyone on a schedule.

I had a halloumi cheese wrap, it was very fresh and probably the best wrap I ever had. The service and the ambience was very nice. I would've enjoyed more if my girlfriend wasn't shouting at me.

Small cafe with outdoor seating that hit the spot for us after walking around New Town for a few hours. The server was friendly and attentive. I had a hand and cheese toasty with salad and my gf had a burger. We both enjoyed our meals, simple but tasty. I also had a beer which was perfect on that sunny afternoon. We'd definitely visit again if in the area.

If you're looking for a quiet quick bite it would be ok. The food tasted fine, but was overcooked and kinda dried out. The waiter was friendly and helpful.

My husband and I both got full Scottish breakfasts - vegetarian for me and full for him. Both were good and, as expected, huge. I can't say I'm a fan of beans and tomatoes for breakfast, but that's hardly Rose Street Cafe's fault: everything was well prepared and came out quickly. Also, the staff was friendly and attentive.

Not bad. Not great either. I had the Scottish Breakfast. The mushrooms and the haggis were my favorite parts. One side of my toast was burnt. My wife had the British Breakfast, and she didn't like the black pudding. Everything on our plates seemed kind of carelessly thrown together. Though I wasn't expecting anything special, since I knew this was a casual diner, I was hoping for good cooking. 2.5 stars.

I almost don't want to give a review as I want to go here without a queue . The food, the service was fantastic. Heaps of good food at a reasonable price ! I'm going back tomorrow !

I wanted to try one of their pies but they were all out. I like the All-Day Breakfast choices. They offer a lot of fresh smoothies options. We ordered one of the veggie smoothie (I forgot which one) and its was really good and a mocha (gotta love espresso in Europe). The fish and chips were good and the fish was bigger than I expected. Nice and simple meal with friendly staff.
