Slow service but friendly. Amazing Full Scottish breakfast.

Food was ok service was good since the waitress was by her self on the floor. She took all the orders and made the drinks her self. Well done to her. I guess mostly tourists come here for breakfast.

We had amazing milkshakes, the staff was great, music could've a been a wee bit quieter. Overall great experience, would recommend!

Love this place, delicious food, great music, nice cocktails, and lovely staff.
It can be a very busy place but I don’t mind a loud buzzing environment, sometimes it does make it a little difficult to catch a server but apart from that. LOVE LOVE LOVE
(Also good for gluten free/celiac)

City Cafe is our go to place in Edinburgh. The food is great and fairly quick, last time we went was a quick stop in between trains, it's nice and close to the train station and service was quick for us to order, eat, pay, and get back to the train station.

The portions are quite mega which is great if you’re heading there after a healthy gym session! The food lacks a bit of finesse but priced ok and I really appreciate how open they were to substitutions on the Scottish breakfast. Rolls were so huge you could use them as a pillow. Brilliant decor and diner theme. Recommend a visit!

Went for a breakfast on a Friday, I have only been for drinks in the evening so didn't know what to expect.
First of all they offer a gluten free full breakfast (not for me) which was a big plus.
It wasn't very busy, clean and has the diner vibe you'd expect.
Service was fast, didn't want too long for the food.
Portion size was great, the gluten free option didn't come with black pudding/haggis and just came with two extra hash browns instead.
The only downside with the food was the sausages, both sausages had inedible bits of what seemed like bone.
Both ordered a flat white which was surprisingly nice but don't expect black medicine coffee quality.
Surprisingly pricey however coming in at ~£36 for two breakfasts and two coffees. Quality and environment was there but I probably wouldn't go again due to price.
