  “Lovely atmosphere, though the overall service could be better. Huge shoutout to the lady in the black long sleeves with the hair bun, though—she was fantastic! She was multitasking like a pro and doing the work of multiple people seamlessly.”

  “Ordered a quiche and a toastie. Ordered well before anyone else there that arrived after us. They were all served food well before us. Many people got a quiche that ordered after us. We followed up twice and got told quiche just took longer. It never came.”

  “I had a very pleasant experience at the Terrace Café in the Botanic Gardens. I tried a chocolate brownie, another cake, a coffee and a tea, all of which were enjoyable. It’s not cheap, but this is Edinburgh and it’s a park café, which are often priced at a premium, so it felt fairly in line with expectations. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the café seemed clean and well looked after. I didn’t try any hot food, but based on my visit, some of the more negative reviews felt a little unfair. The location itself is beautiful, and I imagine on a summer’s day it’s a really nice place to stop for a drink or a refreshment while enjoying the gardens.”

  “I could overlook the fact that the staff didn't pay much attention to me for a long time when I wanted to order at the counter. What I cannot ignore is filthy dishes in which my tea was served. Moreover on 4 pm there wasn't a single clean table where I would have liked to sit. Sticky or spilled surface. Overall experience just horrible, I have no reason to return. Sad.”

  “Gluten free options available, i recommend the little polenta cakes, so delicious that I forgot to take a photo… The coffee is OK. The atmosphere is good if you do not mind crowded and noisy cafes with many children.”
