Smoothest coffee, lattes, and cortados! Service is great. The place is a bit small so it gets crowded easily but I suppose that adds to the appeal read more

Pastries are amazing. Onion and goat cheese is out of this world. My wife gets a flat white coffee and loves it. I just eat the pastries. We never had a bad one. read more

What a cute cafe in Edinburgh! I had a latte and americano which were lovely. I could have easily sat here all day drinking coffee and enjoying a book. They have a wide selection of baked goods. I had the croissant which was deliciously flaky. I would definitely recommend starting your day here or stopping by for an afternoon pick me up. read more

Great service. Quick and kind. Delicious baked goods and kickin' dirty chai. The blueberries weee the bomb

Got a lot of recommendations for this place so I went on a Sunday morning. It was super crowded... it's a very small cafe with very little seating areas so you're almost bumping into people next to you unintentionally. Was really hoping for larger bakery selection-- that day they didn't have the millionaires shortbread that I was really hoping to try, so I opted for the croissant muffin.. it took me by surprise! it was super delish and fresh tasting. Latte was pretty solid, wish there was a stronger chai/cinnamon flavor. The wait for this was a good 10 minutes when it was busy. Prices were pretty reasonable for what you are getting... you could tell the baristas individually took extra time on each one of them and hand delivered them to you. Their delivering system kinda confused me however since they didn't give you a number of anything to track for the barista... so when the drink was done, they basically would walk it around and even outside to those waiting calling out the drink order. I would come back to try their matcha and other bakery items- hoping for some unique twists for bakery offerings. I would also recommend seasonal limited addition latte offering besides their menus to help give customers more options and make them want to come back each month ! read more

I am obsessed with their lattes. Highly recommend the iced honey latte with oat milk. Friendly service in a fabulous little storefront-- quintessential Edinburgh! A must go-to in the city. read more

I had been reading about this coffee shop for years. I was so excited to finally be able to visit. It did not disappoint. The staff are super friendly. The shop is small but cute. I was able to catch the window seat for a rest from all of the walking. Oh, and one of the best lattes I've ever had. Pure coffee bliss read more

Absolutely delicious lattes. Love the cinnamon roll (best we had in Edinburgh) and the pastries. You need to go- you won't be disappointed!

The milkman has some great white hot chocolate! Usually when I try stuff like this it's a little on the sweeter side, not this place. The taste is a perfect combination of sweet and chocolate mixed together. The pastry I go was a little Twix bar looking thing, that was delicious! The place is cute and perfect to just hang out. The service from the workers were very friendly and upbeat. If I lived here I would definitely make this place a regular go to. read more

Came here on a weekend morning around 10:15AM, place is tiny so don't expect a seat, conveniently located in the city center close to Royal Mile. Waited about ten minutes for matcha latte, had a cinnamon roll too. Matcha latte was delicious, as it was made with real matcha, none of that fake sugary stuff. Cup was small though. Cinnamon roll was soft and chewy, not too sweet; I enjoyed it! read more

Great little place! Delicious almond croissant, flaky and crispy with nice almond flavor. And what an amazing latte. I got oat milk, so happy they had non-dairy options! Smooth and silky, I didn't even need sugar the espresso was so good. Would totally return here. read more

Super cute little spot serving coffee and coffee only. Love it! The coffee was tasty and you had the option to sit in (if seating was available). Barista was kind. Doesn't get any better than that. read more

Our first stop in Edinburgh was The Milkman. I had a delicious herbal tea, and my friend got a latte. Service was quick despite how busy it was. We got some chairs to sit, but it is a very small place. They said it's rare that they have open seating. I also got a vegan brownie but ate it too fast to take a picture. So delicious! I would visit The Milkman again. read more

The Milkman - Lemon Ginger Tea & Vanilla Latte - Cafes Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Small on space, big on taste. Really great little shop at the end of Cockburn. The cappuccino was top, didn't require any extra addings on my part. Excited that I was (finally) able to source some gluten free pastries: the salted caramel brownie. The texture was more than favorable for gluten free and the flavour excellent. Prices fair for quality as 2 coffees and 3 pastries ran £14. Small space surrounding inside. provides about 6-8, maybe 10 seats. Two tables are outside when the weather is fair. Milkman came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. read more

I saw all the reviews about this place and was really excited to try it. I got the white hot chocolate with oat milk and an apple almond bar. (I think that's what it was called) and oh wow! 10/10. So good! There was a bit of a line but it's not hard to see why. The staff was so friendly, the place was warm and cozy and the drink was amazing. read more

Their oat milk latte hits the spot on a cold windy morning. Stopped in here a couple times on my vacation. The pastries are delicious too.

Incredible espresso and unforgettable almond croissant. It's also just a cozy place to sit and warm up. I will be returning!

It can be a bit hard to find, as it is tucked away (we learned there's another location nearby that's more along the road). My mom & dad had a cafe latte & I had a white hot chocolate. We also enjoyed some apple & almond pastries, though I can't remember the exact names! Lovely location and wonderful ambience / music choice. The barista was so friendly she gave us vegetarian recommendations for dinner, which was super helpful. Would love to visit again someday. Also, the entire neighborhood seemed to have inspired many of your favorite media! I heard this cafe was in the back of a Marvel movie scene :0 read more

Cute little cafe! Very cozy vibes. Has nice drinks and desserts. Friendly and fast staff. Nice little place to meet up with friends or start your day with a nice coffee. I personally went for the dessert though! read more

Came here after arriving via bus to City Centre from the airport one cloudy morning. We couldn't drop our bags at the house yet so it was very nice to be able to come here without getting nay gripe from the baristas for having a suitcase. The latte was fantastic and beautifully made. I loved the decor - chill vibe and eclectic style. It's a small shop but feels cozy. I had a cinnamon bun that was yeasty and delicious - fresh a couple hours earlier i am sure. Highly recommended! read more

Selection of pastries is great, we tried 6 different ones over the course of our stay and all were delicious! Service was friendly. The spot is tiny so seating is hard to find, but the park is just steps away. read more

This coffee shop is absolutely charming with a wonderful staff on a delightful street. Either while making your way into Old Town Edinburgh, or making your way out of Old Town, you simply must stop by The Milkman for a coffee and tasty treat. My sister and I popped into the shop shortly before closing time (approx 30 mins). Instead of getting the impression that the staff were really eager to leave and regretted seeing another customer walk through the door, we felt very welcome. We sat in the adorable window seat for a little while and enjoyed our coffees. The staff were very friendly as we discussed the places that we had already seen in Edinburgh and where we were heading next. They even gave us some tasty treats on the house (which were delicious). I highly recommend this shop as a destination in Old Town. read more

Had a wonderful experience here! Located right off of Royal Mile, the Milkman has fine house-roasted coffee and plenty of pastries... many of which are Gluten Free. The atmosphere is great and people working here are very friendly. Small shop, but the stone walls give it a very cozy, historic feel. Definitely a place to stop if you are picky about your coffee while in Edinburgh. read more

Epic coffee shop with great ambiance - so perfect for a cozy cold day! Try it - I loved my Americano and kids loved hot chocolate

The Milkman in two words? COZY GOODNESS! I loved popping into this café and feeling warm head to toe inside and out! The coffee and tea was a delight and the cakes were just as yummy! My party and I had been looking for a quick place to get warm and stumbled upon the Milkman, since it was close to closing we initially felt bad because the staff was cleaning up. To my surprise they stopped all they were doing and helped us even when we couldn't decide which treat we wanted! I was very appreciative of their patience and we were thrilled by the taste of the coffee and cakes! When back in Edinburgh I will be putting the Milkman on my café musts! read more

A great spot for a cop of coffee and some baked goods! We stopped here in the morning for a cup of coffee and some baked goods. Delicious and fresh! Between us we had a wonderful scone and chocolate croissant as well as cafe americano and cappuccino. All of it was excellent. The shop is relatively small, with both inside and outside seating. It was wonderful for a couple, harder for a large group. read more

Drink was fabulous! Saw this on YouTube! It's on a cute lil street close to my hotel ! Service was wonderful as well

Fantastic coffee and great service. A quaint cozy shop close to the high street. Offers a yummy selection of baked goods, including gluten free. We were lucky to have good weather in Edinburgh, and sat outside, where seating is plentiful, and we took in the beautiful view. Small space inside, but very nice and clean. Incredibly friendly staff that knows their way around the espresso machine. Stop in for a bit of history with a side of caffeination. read more
