Great little cafe in a busy area. Ordered a Sausage and Haggis roll. Was lovely However 3 for a bottle of juice is a bit high

We were looking for breakfast one day when wandering Edinburgh and found the Little Inn Cafe. There we discovered a plain and simple Haggis and Egg on a Bun (Breakfast Roll). It was incredible. We went back several times during our trip

I’m giving this cafe a 5 star since they open early and that’s perfect! Because they can accommodate tourists/people who will be having a group tour or highlands tour early morning at 0800. They have pastries to choose from and they offer hot drinks as well.

Oh my goodness where do I even start, the atmosphere was homey and simple, the customer service was amazing and everyone was welcoming and understanding. The sandwiches can be hot or cold, and they have so many options, ranging from beef, chicken (halal), Ham and vegetarian. Woah the shop well and hope they carry on such amazing service.

My daughters were adamant that it's a shame there's no option for six stars. A tiny place right near the castle. It doesn't look all that from the outside but the food is on point. Fresh, generously portioned, hot, delicious and very reasonably priced.

Lovely little hidden gem just outside of Edinburgh Castle. Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that put you off, amazing food and really friendly service. My partner and I went for the meat lovers panini and it was delicious and reasonably priced. Really friendly staff wiped down a rained on outdoor table and chairs for us to sit on while we waited for our food. Would definitely recommend and visit again next time we're up that way. Thanks so much

Lovely place, hand sanitation and masks used. Reasonably priced and delicious sandwiches. Coffee was costa-quality but for cheaper which is a bargain. Owner very friendly and hospitable. Cold drink available. Also serves breakfast. We had toasted baguettes which were delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic hot chocolate at an affordable 3.90 in this cozy Edinburgh cafe! Loved the warmth on this rainy day. Great service, and the option to leave a tip is a thoughtful touch. Will be back for sure!
