cafēn.

★★★★★

“Small single room cafe with a couple of seats. Slayer machine, and a cozy kind of vibe going on. Potentially a bathroom beyond the counter, but I didn't ask or use it. The lass on was friendly, and clearly cares about the coffee she makes. Ordered a flat white and a chai, and whilst the coffee was good the chai was frankly amazing. Plenty of tea in the pot, and they sell it (albeit it's not cheap). Could probably reduce the amount or pre-infuse the tea and still have an excellent product for reduced overheads, but I suppose it depends how popular the chai is. Not fond of a prepay system that asks for a tip as I've literally just said hi and placed an order. But here is not the only place guilty of this trend.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding coffee – a must-visit in Edinburgh! As a true coffee lover who has explored countless specialty coffee spots across London and beyond, I can confidently say that cafēn serves the best coffee I’ve ever had – not just in Edinburgh, They roast their own beans in-house, and the quality is evident in every sip – rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can truly taste the care and craft that goes into every cup. The staff are exceptional – warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. They’re passionate about what they do, and it shows. The atmosphere is cosy, inviting, and the perfect place to relax or catch up with friends. If you’re serious about great coffee, cafēn is an absolute must. I can’t recommend it highly enough!”
