  “I don’t normally leave reviews, and I wasn’t going to right after leaving. But just one day later I find myself sitting in a cafe and ordering a coffee. Then I’m reminded by just how many places charge eating out prices for the most burnt, bitter coffee you’ve ever had. Usually better off getting a machine made Costa coffee with a meal deal. It made me appreciate how smooth and tasty my coffee here was, and for such a good coffee, it was priced very fairly. I’ll find myself coming back next time I’m in the area. Gluten free brownie was also super chocolatey and tasty.”

  “The coffee was very good, the pastries were okay, but the staff were absolutely dreadful. The woman who took our order would roll her eyes whenever we didn’t understand something. She was nice to native speakers, though. As a foreigner, you don’t feel welcome here and would be better off going somewhere else. There are an incredible number of friendly and lovely Scots – unfortunately not among the waiting staff there.”

  “one of my fav cafes for some downtime like read a book! Great chai lattes (hot and cold) as well as selection of teas. Super friendly staff and great music! When the Edinburgh sun comes out (which is a rarity!) the best spot becomes the window seating to bask like a cat 🐈”

  “Terrible experience with American female who banged my coffee cup on the table without eye contact. Music blaring, unable to block it out with noise cancelling headphones, wouldn't turn it down. Coffee was only good thing”

  “There are lots of pluses about Kilimanjaro Coffee. Firstly, it's open till late which is very welcome if you need a cup of tea or coffee later in the day and would rather not go to a multinational chain. Secondly they have a nice selection of cakes and serve hot drinks in proper crockery and tea with loose leaves in teapots. Thirdly prices are reasonable for the area and service is friendly and efficient. Kilimanjaro is our go-to when we are in the area whether during festival season or any other time of year.”

  “Cute little coffee shop. Staff was so friendly. Easily one of the top 3 Benny’s I’ve ever had… & I’ve had a lot. Delicious.”

  “Good coffee, hearty breakfasts and a nice vibe. Not too much more you can ask for. For breakfast, try not to arrive after 1030 if you can help it, as it gets crowded around that time and you'll struggle to find a good table!”

  “A warm and lively spot that immediately stands out for its inviting atmosphere and consistently great coffee. The beans are roasted with care, producing drinks that are rich, balanced, and full of character. Whether you’re grabbing a quick flat white or settling in with a pour-over, the quality is reliably high. The café’s bright interior and friendly staff make it easy to relax, work, or catch up with a friend. The food offerings are just as memorable—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Their pastries and brunch dishes feel crafted rather than merely served, adding to the overall experience. Combined with its buzz of students, locals, and travelers, Kilimanjaro Coffee captures that perfect blend of comfort and energy. It’s the kind of place you find yourself returning to without hesitation😊”

  “There is a good selection of typical brunch items and the food is good - good portion sizes as well. The hot drinks are great and service is quick. Unfortunately, service was a bit rude from the woman taking orders.”
