"Saw the reviews and as the cafe was only a few minutes from where we were staying we decided to check it out for breakfast. It’s a small cafe but there is a real buzz. On our first visit they were super busy but quickly cleared a table for us that had the remains of a large party of builders breakfast on it, and while we were there lots of regulars came in which we took as a good sign. The large window table looked to be the local men’s meeting place on a Friday morning and there were some already tucking into their food who were soon joined by others who were greeted as old friends by the staff. Our order was quickly taken and individual needs accommodated with my friend asking for oat milk in her hot chocolate. Food was delicious with generous portions, I had scrambled egg on toast, and my friend the porridge which came with a dish of sliced bananas and extra warm milk if needed. Both were well cooked and presented I got to sample the porridge as my friend couldn’t eat it all). Lovely place to eat. We decided to stop again before our train home and while it was quieter on the Sunday morning it was still full, and again service was swift and friendly, they remembered my friend wanted oat milk without needing to be asked. Everyone who worked there took the time to speak to us and I would definitely visit again, if I lived in Edinburgh I’d be there every day! Prices are good and reflect the quality of the food as well as the excellent service. Treated like we were friends not just anonymous tourists. Thank you!"

Amazing spot. Just steps from Staycation apartments, but walkable from the Castle area. Liz rocked the service, and food was amazing. Ask the regulars if you can have a seat and i guarantee the conversation wont disappoint.

Such a great experience for two travelers! The hospitality was exceptional and the food was delicious! Probably one of the best vanilla lattes I’ve had in a while. Thank you, Fountain Cafe, for giving us a great start to the day! View menu

This is possibly the best breakfast I have ever had! The food is of great quality, the service is excellent, and the prices are really good. A must-visit if you are in Edinburgh. It's a small cafe, but it's a great place. I will definitely be returning!

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food comes very fast as well as the drinks. 10/10 food, service, definitely come here!!! View menu

My group of three stumbled upon Fountain Cafe after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor. We ordered the Scottish breakfast, salmon and eggs, and pancakes with scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious, including the pancakes which I didn't get a picture of. The staff, all ladies, were very friendly. The cafe is small but cozy, and although we had to wait a bit for a table, it was well worth it. There are two outdoor tables, but it was too cold to dine outside. I highly recommend this cafe and would definitely return if I find myself in Edinburgh again.

We decided to visit this restaurant based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. When we arrived shortly after opening, the cafe was already busy. We managed to secure the last small table on the right side near the entrance after a short wait. Unfortunately, the frequent opening of the door made it quite cold inside. We ordered breakfast for two, which took over 30 minutes to arrive. While the breakfast was okay, we felt it was overpriced. We had equally good breakfasts at our hotel in the city center for a much lower cost. The staff at the café was dressed very casually in gray sweatpants, which was a bit surprising.
