The vibe is cute and was very crowded on a weekday morning! For food, we were happy with the breakfast burger and the stracciatella toast (pesto, strawberry, tomato, ricotta). The bread and other ingredients were really fresh. The smoothie and brownie was just ok Overall would recommend this spot if you're in the area!

Lovely little place for a quick coffee and a pastry on a Sunday morning or any time of the day…read morereally. The interior is quite simple with pictures on the walls that give the place the right touch of colour. I love the view towards the tea pots and coffee machines behind the counter. So colourful! The location is ideal near the Meadows. The staff is very friendly. Toilets are clean. I had ordered a cafe latte and a pastry. Both tasted delicious. Sometimes the floor started to shake, but I assume this is from the coffee machine. Not much space so and if you prefer a private conversation I would suggest to move to the corner in the back, otherwise be ok with people listening into your conversations :-) Enjoy!

When you're newly arrived in Edinburgh (two months counts still, don't tell me it doesn't) and…read morehaven't found work yet, things like going out for coffee seem like the only kind of luxury you can afford. The disappointment arrives after the coffee turns out to be...eh...well... that sort of response. If I don't close my eyes and give out a long contented sigh when the coffee first passes my waiting lips, I won't subject my mouth to further torment. Luckily for those of us in the Toll Cross hood, Machina is the kind of coffee you close your eyes to enjoy. It's pretty obvious when you step in there: the boards showing you the different methods of brewing, the shiny pretty espresso machines for sale, the long time it takes them to make your cappuccino. There aren't many seats, in fact it's probably bigger than your living room. Not mine, mine is tiny, which is why I sit in Machina as long as I can milk my hot beverage. But it's cool people watching for those few who do get to sit because lots of meadows-meanderers come through for to-go options, and the long uncomfortable minutes while they wait make them antsy and squirmy (it somehow feels wrong to pull out your phone here, so these people mostly just stand there, reading about espresso machines, trying not to look at anyone else) and it's pretty funny. And I've seen DOGS inside, which gives them BONUS stars.

Great coffee, pastries, and people watching! And the staff are quite laid-back. The food menu…read morelooked good too, if you want to linger and have breakfast or lunch there.

After getting a bite from the Stockbridge Market, I was getting quite thirsty. As we wandered…read morearound Stockbridge, we found this cute coffee shop. The space is cozy as we luckily found a couch to sit on. I ordered the Loose Leaf Tea (£2.50). It even came in a teapot and some milk, which was more than I was expecting. I also loved the Tiffany blue cups they have here --I'm a sucker for anything in my favorite colour. While we already ate, the food looked delicious as well as I peered over at those around us. Good spot to grab a drink or brunch in Stockbridge.
