The best of coffee buzz that Edinburgh has to offer.
A little selection of what has become an institution in Edinburgh - the coffee shops! More famous than pubs, often the trendiest spots in town, the coffee shops have completely changed the way we consume coffee and food. We have packed our travel mug, ready to give you the best addresses we know.
Mixing beetroot powder with almond milk and honey, or coconut milk and spirulina powder, these drinks are certainly a must try.
A bit of French touch, mixed some Scottish vibes, and there we are at the Victor Hugo.
Located just next to the Meadows, the red cafe on the corner of Melville Terrace and Livingstone Place is a great place to enjoy your morning cappuccino or a nice camembert baguette for lunch.
Lots of options available in terms of sandwiches and other delicatessens. With a lovely terrace outside, this is the perfect summer spot for you and your friends.
Very Parisian Bistro style, and we love it.
Where? 26-27 Melville Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 1LP

Quite a small place but what a good one! What do we like about Burr & Co? First, their very own blend, called George Street Blend, with chocolate and berries notes. Absolutely fantastic.
And what’s more, this blend is perfect for creating a cracking Espresso Martini - of course not for your morning coffee.
Second, they are quite innovative with their 'Cortados', which are not related to Spanish Inquisitors, but actually refer to a lactose and caffeine-free healthy hot drink option. Mixing beetroot powder with almond milk and honey, or coconut milk and spirulina powder, these drinks are certainly a must try.
Finally, and this is essential for us, they provide great food too! From breakfast to snacks and other homemade cakes, we recommend you visit this place asap!
Where? InterContinental Edinburgh the George, an IHG Hotel, 20 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2PB
