Southern Cross Cafe

Relaxing place to have lunch just off Royal Mile on a beautiful street full of funky shops. The cafe itself serves excellent food at very reasonable price for the location. Staff is very welcoming!

We stopped here for brunch and coffee . Our servers were very welcoming and the food was great! Will definitely stop by if I ever come back to Edinburgh.

We take the waffle , the brownie , luxury hot chocolate and a latte . All delicious. Awesome waiter .

Great cafe just off the beaten track but near Waverley and Princes Street. Scottish breakfast is great - big portions and lovely peppery haggis ! Great staff/service. Worth getting off the train for.

Wonderful food and lovely staff . I really reccommend the sausage and poached egg . They might take their time but the result is very good quality food.

Eggs florentine with mushrooms were super good! Pancakes were crispy and good (I know that sounds weird). The homemade scone is amazing as well !

Lucky to get a seat its that busy, a great sign! Full breakfast is dynamite, haggis is spot on, can't whack it before starting your trek through the capital...

Fantastic Scottish breakfast and coffee ! Nice hidden basement and friendly staff .

The best, most creamy lattè ever ????????

If this were in any other city it'd be painfully hipster-kitch, but it works in Edinburgh. If you only want to have to eat one meal a day, try their big breakfast !

Excellent coffee , stellar selection of cakes that actually taste as delicious as they look, and friendly service .

Haggis balls are really tasty as are the chicken quesadillas

Wonderful lunch . Homemade cream of parsnip soup and a brie and cranberry pannini on homemade ciabatta . Delicious!

I like espresso . The staff are so so so nice especially catrina ????

It’s a bit pricy but the espresso is delicious! And service is very welcoming.

Breakfast food was great but the portions are small-ish for the price.

On a good day, the ground floor gets the sunlight straight through the front window. Makes for a very warming morning coffee !

Average food, bad coffee when we went: The breakfast servings were not too generous. Good haggis and veggie haggis but not amazing. Eggs Benedict a bit dry. Altogether a bit disappointed. 2 out of 5.

Very nice haggis . The hollandaise sauce is top notch too

Best breakfast I've ever had and for a decent price!

Scottish breakfast with haggis is my choice! Top it up with a great cappuccino to start a perfect day in Edinburgh!

Brilliant everything

The green tea is really bitter compared to what I usually drink. Go for the luxury hot chocolate instead!

Very cool decor, friendly staff and nice drinks

Just an average cafe although it does good quesadillas for quite a good price! Looks like it'd be nice for breakfast :)

The (double) espresso is excellent here!

Friendly staff , nice coffee and scrummy cakes .

Very nice service. Cakes and coffee good but not impressive.

Love capuccino !

Chocolate and Almond slices are a nice choice.

Perfect Scottish breakfast to start the day

Best coffee and delicious breakfasts !

Good people-watching opportunities and free wifi .

Solid, nice breakfast . Nothing special but service was really friendly .

Amazing quesadillas and scones !

Greeaat scottish breakfast , with haggis and everything, and not very expensive .

Quite cute , nothing vegan on the menu though.

Goat cheese salade

Great place for breakfast

Coffee is 5/10, desserts are quite heavy and prices are higher than average.

great white coffee and caramel slice

Nice haggis included with the Scottish breakfast .

£3.95 for sausage sandwich - only one sausage . Very disappointing

Don't have the Scottish breakfast .... Be a real man and get the big belter!!

Egga royal!

The club sandwich here is exceptional :)

Great coffee

Slow service and bland food. It’s a bit of a tourist trap.

Awesome Scottish breakfast with haggis here

Ok food. Service is terrible.
