Starbucks

Came here for a banana bread, was pretty good, not artificial banana. Small piece though at a pretty high price. Came another time for Too Good To Go, got a ton of food for just £3.59: chocolate croissant, raspberry swirl, hummus wrap, lemon muffin, tuna sandwich. All were tasty, even though they were leftovers. I appreciate that many of the Starbucks around town use Too Good To Go, a great app to help reduce food waste!

Solid 4 Starbucks here! I needed my iced caramel macchiato like no other, and it was nice to have a little bit of home over in Scotland. Whoever made it made it perfectly, and the line to wait wasn't too too bad for my coffee. My husband got his quicker since he had just a regular coffee, but he was impressed with the creamer and sugar station. I loved the Edinburgh mugs that were being sold at this location, and now need to fly back so I can get one.

Relatively quiet. Comfortable seats. Plentiful power. Easy wi-fi. Restrooms. Ideal.

Other than the usual Starbucks coffee, a perfect spot to stop and top off your caffeine level, upload pictures and get a brief rest.

This Starbucks is right across from Canongate Kirk and the Museum of Edinburgh.

A bright, clean and airy Starbucks, despite the high-traffic location.

The bar seats at the front window each have their own power outlets, so not only is it a great place for freelancers to set up shop, but the layout keeps the floor open for larger parties.

I also discovered a meatball and mozzarella panini that I enjoyed almost to a shameful degree. Yes, all of Starbucks' food is prepackaged and likely full of processed ingredients, but you can't deny they're tasty!

Coffee and cakes make my day and in the past Starbucks was my number one supplier of these delicious items.

I visited Starbucks on the Royal Mile several times. It's a central meeting point and easy to reach. However, I am not so impressed by it's decor and cleanliness.
The state of it's premises could derive from the fact that hundred of people pass the doorway spread over a day and the staff can't cope with keeping the place tidy.
The queues are long, the seating area seems neglected and the coffee lacks in original Starbucks taste.

A shame that this Starbucks feels a bit neglected.

The Canongate stretch of The Royal Mile can feel surprisingly serene and peaceful despite it's location, and all the shops, cafes and tourist attractions feel that little bit more honest than their unscrupulous brethren just a few minutes walk up the road. From the whisky shop with the grumpy looking dog in the window to the slightly outdated but well-loved museums, it's a genuinely likeable part of Edinburgh, that sadly goes downhill both figuratively and literally as you approach the palace.

This Starbucks. often devoid of a great deal of punters, but always bathing in a relaxing, genteel atmosphere, is undoubtedly one of the best examples you'll find of the virus-like market leader. It's somewhat bizarre to use the lazy, cliched "hidden gem" phrase to describe a Starbucks, but in this case it really does fit.

This is definitely one of my favourite places to be in Edinburgh. The other Starbucks' are good- after all, it's the same coffee and the same products, but this is out of the hustle and bustle and is a lot quieter. You could be anywhere in the world sitting in here.

I love it in here, I've spent hours just lazing away with a good book or just a coffee and my thoughts. Ahhh!!

The staff are really friendly too, I forgot my umbrella once and a poor guy ran after me in the pouring rain, and I was almost at my door. bless.

Nice, clean and quiet...
Partners are always helpful...
A good place to work!

OK, let me just start by saying, yes, I know that this is a Starbucks, and it probably shouldn't be listed as one of my favourite coffee shops in Edinburgh.

The thing is, the Canongate location is particularly quiet, especially considering its close proximity to about 500 Scottish-themed tourist stores. The staff is lovely and laid-back, and, it's Starbucks, so you know what you're getting every time.

As a student, I always found this location ideal - I could sit there for hours on my laptop, and no one would ever make me move. Because it's a giant corporation who doesn't *really* need my money, I don't feel bad taking up a table for awhile. Like a second office, Starbucks is there when you want to mooch some space.

I think I did some of my best writing in this location. A recent overhaul has also ensured that almost every seat in the place has an outlet, so no need to fight for the one free outlet previously available.

I would recommend to anyone to get a free Starbucks card. This way you get free wireless in all locations, and any 'extras' like another shot of espresso, syrup, or whipped cream magically become free! All this just for the small price of a little market research stalking!

Skip the big Starbucks on the High Street and make the short trek down to the Canongate.

We all know what Starbucks is...and there are many in Edinburgh. If you are looking for one that isn't too busy, this is the one to hit up. All the employees are nice. The bathrooms are clean. The cafe is clean. And, the Royal Mile is just a fun place to go to from time to time!
