The best coffee in town! Fabulous place with African menu. Great atmosphere, staff, food, coffee and music. We can’t fault this place. Top marks!

Went with my daughter who is vegan and can’t eat gluten either and we had a sandwich.Now I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with vegan cafes but they do only sell vegan food what a refreshing change to find somewhere that does a great vegan and gluten free sarnie with a lovely little salad on it and I could have a chicken and bacon sandwich which was delicious also really friendly staff all in all a great experience

Mi marido y yo hemos estado ventiladores ya que el sitio de goteo cafeína abrió sus puertas. La comida es excelente, las porciones generosas, gran café y el menú es enorme, así que hay mucho para elegir en cada visita. Fuimos ayer para el almuerzo y no nos decepcionó. Al principio mi marido estaba triste de ver que no hay 'club killer' en el menú, pero el 'club de pollo" más que compensó por esto! Las ensaladas son increíbles! ! La comida es fresca. Mi nuevo favorito poutine lugar en Ed personal es siempre amable y cálido. El servicio es rápido, teniendo en cuenta el ajetreo del lugar. Uno de nuestros favoritos en Edimburgo.

We visited Edinburgh with the kids but still managed a couples night out. Anyway, the french toast with maple sirrup and sausages was just the ticket after the wine the evening before. Well worth it and a good price for how stuffed we felt after. Kids loved the shakes, while I has very appreciative of a good cup of coffee...

I've been to the Caffeine Drip a bunch of times and they have never let me down on the vegan, gluten-free front. I'm still intimidated by the menu though, it is huge! You can spend a good while looking over it and picking something yummy. Everything is marked vegan/ gluten-free and the staff are always nice and helpful. Decor is adorable! They are supposed to be the home of one of the best vegan hot chocolates in Edinburgh but I haven't checked this out yet! That's my choice for next time.

Teamwork within the very attentive and visible team is everywhere to be seen. The menu is full and with vegan, gluten free and even some homegrown South African meals, there is something for everyone! Your expectation for your food is managed by a sign on the till that tells you just how busy the team are!! Go Go Go if you are in the west end of the city!

I have eaten at the Caffeine Drip numerous times in the past year and it never disappoints. I usually go for the 'make your own' breakfast which is superb and as a vegetarian there is a huge selection. The time I was too late to get the breakfast, I had the vegan club sandwich which was also excellent. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. A strong recommendation.

Met a friend here for breakfast today as a change, we had gone past it a few times and weren't sure what to expect from the sign outside, but had heard the breakfast was good so decided to give it a try. The interior does feel quite small, but it was comfy and cosy and quite relaxing - we sat in a back room. It was quite busy, and they do display a sign which states that there will be a wait for food, and so we knew that when we ordered, and when it came to it it didn't feel like a long wait at all. The guy who served us was friendly, helpful and took his time answering questions about the menu even though it was busy. Food was good, and plenty of choices for gluten free and dairy free options. I can't comment on the coffee, but had the tea - great big teapot for one cup, which kept me going for the couple of hours we were there.All in all glad I gave the place a go, and would definitely go back again.

I have to say, after reading all of the reviews on tripadvisor, I had very high expectations for the Caffeine Drip. We went for breakfast in December with two friends at around 8am and got a table straight away. I found the prices to be slightly high for the portion sizes (£5 for a roll) and although my coffee was good, it wasn't my favourite. I feel like maybe our first visit here wasn't an accurate representation of the café and so we will likely visit again to give it another shot :) next time we'll try it for lunch instead!

At the entrance the place was weird because you have to go downstairs and we thought that the place was empty...however the place had a lot of movement.

There is a reason The Caffeine Drip has been near the top of the list on TripAdvisor since it opened. The food is amazing! The sandwiches are great and they offer a pretty yummy selection of tray bakes and hot drinks. The Killer Club sandwich is a work of art and a massive feed. However!! The unit is small and the demand is high. Sometimes you can be told you have to wait 30 minutes for a takeaway sandwich (and it might actually take 45 minutes) this is extremely frustrating. I hope they move to a bigger unit at some point or somehow fix this because although I go fairly regularly, I know I would go more if the service was better. The staff are friendly - they just struggle to meet the demand. Quite regularly they will get order customisations wrong too - presumably due to being so busy. Last moan - if you call to order in advance, they often can't hear because of the noise!

Åt en sen frukost med familjen (två vuxna och två barn i tonåren). Alla var överens om att det var den bästa frukosten på hela semestern. Allt vi beställde in (vilket var mycket då vi är storätare) smakade gott och priset var bra, 500kr totalt. En är vegetarian och här fanns massor att välja på då man tex kunde välja vilka ingredienser i omeletten. Rekommenderar stället absolut!

There were hessian sacks covering the walls which was so different and the music sounded 50's/60's which was enjoyable to listen to.There were so many things to choose from on the menu and there were definitely lots of vegan options which was nice to see. We didn't have a long wait for the food and drinks and when it came it was delicious! My hot chocolate, even though it was a small, was huge!

A hugely popular cafe; when we arrived for breakfast it was incredibly busy and there was a queue for seats as well as a 30 minute wait for food. We had plans that morning, so decided to grab a quick snack elsewhere and return afterwards.On our return, there was still a short wait but we were able to sit down until a table became available. Not quite as hungry, we opted for the vegan French toast with vegan haggis, being tourists as we were. At £8 this seemed a little pricey for a couple of slices of toast, but we were happy to pay for the novelty and what the huge popularity suggested would be high quality. How surprised I was when the food arrived; as a woman with zero portion control even I was taken aback by the size of the meals. They weren’t so much slices as enormous slabs of fresh bread, which melted in the mouth and were toasted to perfection (whatever on earth they did with the chickpeas to achieve this, it *worked*). I finished it all even though I thought I might die before managing - that is how good it was. The only slight - virtually insignificant - quibble is that the soya milk curdled a bit in both of our drinks, even after I left mine a long time to cool down to try and avoid this. This happens and often seems to be a matter of luck, although some brands do seem better than others at avoiding it. I am no artisanal connoisseur, but the coffee itself was perfectly good.

After reading several reviews raving about the coffee, I decided to visit as I was in Edinburgh for the day. I liked the aesthetic, of a little cramped, and the staff were nice but I was severely disappointed by the coffee being advertised as artisanal and ending up being mass supplied Matthew Algie coffee which is not a good coffee brand at all. The latte I ordered looked nice but due to the coffee tasted awful. I would suggest switching to a better roaster such as Sacred Grounds if you are offering gourmet and artisanal coffee. I didn’t have any of the food but what I saw looked appetising, just wasn’t hungry at the time and the bad coffee experience put me off.

Quite a nice little cafe, mainly seems to cater for a student type clientele. Our breakfasts were tasty enough, and the poached eggs were perfect, but the overall price was just too much. The extra sides wouldn't be long adding up to make a really expensive breakfast. There are plenty of vegan options on the menu maybe making the overall prices on the high side. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly but all things considered, there are better value places elsewhere close by.

This place is so worth a visit, a basement cafe that is nonetheless bright and cheerful with hessian sacked walls and chunky wooden tables. But it is the food that is the star.

Great smoothie and cosy place. Sandwich could have been better. I will def try a chocolate next time as it looked delicious. I would also recommend that staff in the kitchen try not to argue so the customers hear. A grumpy chef having a tantrum over a small detail is just not ok.

Este sitio está genial para recargar las pilas por la mañana a lo british/scottish totalmente, porque allí nada es light. El precio es medio, pagamos 25 libras por 2 personas pero hicimos un buen brunch: huevos revueltos, bacon, pan con mantequilla y café. Buscabamos algo así y no nos defraudó.

Came in for breakfast, extensive choice with some real quirky items I opted for French Toast with bacon and fried banana which was excellent we'll be back again tomorrow as there's lots more we want to try. Really chilled place.

Absolutely love the styling of this place - feels like being in an underground bunker. Food is amazing though huge portions. Slight irritation at the tables taken with an empty coffee and using the free WiFi- come on guys that is taking advantage. Service was friendly. The menu is fantastic and allows a million different choices for you breakfast. I really admire this place for not just providing a full “breakfast” but letting you select what you want. Everything is cooked fresh but be prepared for a wait. I’ll be back.

Great for lunch, amazing flat breads and sweet potatoe fries. Quick and lovely service. The banoffee tart is officially the best cake I've ever had.

Me and my fiance went for breakfast this morning, and I must say it was the most lovely breakfast I've ever had. Staff were friendly and polite and the atmosphere was wonderful. Will most likely be going again tomorrow for round 2

I visited recently with a friend for lunch and ordered the killer club - it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever ate. Look forward to going back and sampling more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, vegan breakfasts I've ever had. The tofu scramble, haggis, streaky rashers, sourdough bread from the full Scottish breakfast all tasted delicious. The restaurant also offers a great lunch menu that we had planned to come back for later in the day, but never got around to. We will certainly try out some of the burgers on our next visit to Edinburgh!

The Caffeine Drip is unique, quirky, small and strangely decorated restaurant serving up some pretty decent fare. My travel companion who is vegan recommended The Caffeine Drip as it offered some decent options for her diet, we ended up coming here twice during our stay in Edinburgh. The Boerie Breakfast Roll is a good option if you're really hungry as the portion is quite large. My vegan companion had the vegan french toast one day on another scrambled tofu, both received favourable reviews. As the name stipulates coffee is taken seriously here, The Caffeine Drip did not disappoint, they make a great espresso. If you want something different from the traditional breakfast or have particular dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian) The Caffeine Drip might be the spot for you.Recommended

Unassuming from the outside, but hidden treasure inside. Awesome coffee and great varied menu for all tastes and preferences.

This place is awesome! The coffee is the best in the west end. The food is varied, fresh and the service is flawless! Be patient for your food, it's completely worth it!

Looking for something new so consulted the TripAdvisor pages and found this lunch option. The chicken club is generous; the leak and potato soup tasty; the staff friendly. I would go back.

An excellent place with lovely staff and IMHO the best coffee in Scotland! This is one of Edinburgh's best secrets.

Hipster chic and decent coffee but not somewhere to linger.This is a very busy (Sunday at 10.30) cafe with a varied menu that caters for vegetarians and meat eaters.The coffee was good. As was the sweet French toast with banana. Less impressed by the hot chocolate and totally underwhelmed by the breakfast roll. In fairness the two poached eggs were cooked to perfection but the black pudding was dry and overcooked and the roll itself was dry and chewy(not quite stale but heading that way).The tables are smallish and close together which gives a continental feel. But with stools rather than seats and a steady stream of customers it doesn't feel like a place that wants you to linger for a refill. Overall not a bad choice but not one of recommend .

I was here on a Sunday lunchtime so it was pretty busy, but the staff were still super friendly and the food & drinks didn't take as long as we had expected. I had a vegan burger and vegan poutine which were both great. Vegan hot chocolate was probably the best I've had!! They have other vegan options as well as burgers so I would go back to try some of them.My only downside is that it is expensive, therefor I won't be going as often as I would have if prices were more reasonable.

Go and find The Caffine Drip, it looks tiny from the outside but there's lots more seating downstairs, the decor is so funky!! Oh there's really good choices for Vegans on the menu, but I opted for the burger and chips, ohmygod!! So delish and really big portions, I would highly recomend this yummy yummy place!!

Visited this place (ok ok we took a cab here specifically for the raving Burger reviews) with my husband, our three year old and our 4 month old. It was packed, which was great to see. The friendly guy behind the counter gave us somewhere to sit till a table became free. He bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable with high chair etc.We both went for the classic burger, one with fries one with sweet potato fries and 3 of us shared.AMAZING.We are all vegan and it is the best burger we have had. Ever.Please open one down south!!!!Coffee was delicious also. Can't wait to be in Edinburgh again!

Had an underwhelming breakfast. Coffee was good but scrambled tofu and scrambled eggs were overdone, dry and stodgy. Toast, veggie sausages pretty average. Unlikely to return.

My partner showed me this cafe after stumbling upon it himself. He was really excited to get our morning coffees there and I wasn't disappointed. It's very cozy and the coffee is exceptional. Though it was disappointing that we never actually got a table there because it's always full. Yet I think with this quality and cool design it appeals to a lot of people which is a sign of a good time.

I wouldn't imagine there's many Tanzanian restaurants in Edinburgh - and if there are, I doubt they're better than MaRobert's. The concept is simple. You choose a base (vegetable and coconut rice; aromatic rice, special rice or chapati) and the add two or three toppings. Two toppings and a base is £8 and three toppings and a base is £10. Exceptional value! I went of aromatic rice alongside Chicken Binzari, succulent chicken breast with tumeric, peppers, onion and garlic; and Mboga, Mixed vegetables (cabbage, carrot, peppers, onions) in a spicy tomato sauce Humble, honest food but it is packed full of flavour. Served by Skye, whose welcome was as warm as the food! She explained each dish with passion and confidence.
