The staff is helpful and friendly, and when I first came to Edinburgh and lived in an Airbnb, this used to be my morning coffee stop, as the coffee is delicious.

So if you are ever around, I would recommend you go pay Chapter One a visit.

My Top 5 Favourite Coffee Shops In Edinburgh

Another local of mine! The truth is, they do great coffee – plain and simple. They have a cute little shop, so it feels intimate, and it’s usually quieter than others as it is “in the ‘burbs”.

They also have a great selection of sandwiches, breakfast rolls, pastries and cakes. The staff here are brilliant. And there’s really fast free wifi!

The Best Coffee Shops in Edinburgh

Chapter One Coffee is an idyllic little cafe in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh. I just love the name; it evokes sitting down to pen the next great novel! Our visit to Chapter One was very nice. The mocha and latte we ordered were definitely among the best we’ve had in the city, and they were served in these adorable mint green tea cups. Extra photogenic—though I am always photographing my drinks anyway!
