Lovely cafe in Edinburgh City Centre with “people watching” views over Hanover Street. Wide choice of savoury and sweet lunch options and drink options. We had the soup and toasted sandwich option and all very delicious. Friendly welcoming staff. Well priced for a city centre...eatery.More

I happened across Pappii because we are staying in NewTown for a few days to sightsee. And we will 100% go back again. First, the staff are amazing. Smiles, friendly, accommodating, quick, articulate, absolutely stellar. We had a party of 3 so they pulled a...stool up for us but when another table vacated later, they asked if we wanted to move to a 4-top so we’d have room for our breakfast plates. They quickly helped us move and took our order. <chef’s kiss> Eggs Benedict was AMAZING. I’ve never had one this delicious. My husband and I both ordered it and loved it. Their in-house Hollandaise sauce is scrumptious and the egg perfectly poached x 4! Our teen had waffles with bananas and Nutella and ate way more than I expected. The waffles were fluffy inside and slightly crisp in the outside which is exactly how we like it. We also got a decaf Americano coffee and a mango smoothie take-away, both also delicious. I forget to request a dallop of milk in my coffee so Frank it black and was surprised by how smooth and not acidic the brew was. I want to stop by and see if they sell the beans for me to take back to America!! We will definitely be back and think everyone should check this tasty cafe out for themselves!More

This is a decent cafe. Staff were cool, loads of food and drinks to choose from. I went for the signature halloumi sandwich and it was good. Nice coffee too.

We saw the reviews for this cafe and decided to check it out on our trip to Edinburgh, it did not disappoint! We managed to get a seat straight away however it soon filled up after we arrived. The service was excellent, the coffee and...breakfast were lovely. It was so good we wanted to order it again! However, the prices were a little on the steep side at £12 for eggs Benedict and 1 waffle for £10. It was delicious though and worth the money, they were very generous with the bacon which is quite unusual as a lot of cafes scrimp on this! A small complaint would be that the waffle and bacon did not come out very warm, and by the end was really quite cold which was a shame. However we really enjoyed our trip with great food and a nice atmosphere. We highly recommend!More

This was recommended to us as it was close to where we were staying. My fellow diners were content with their choices of bacon rolls - however my toasted muffin was stale and not tasty at all. The scone was not much better. To the...managers credit after I had left most of the food he did reduce our bill. However, we didn't return again the following day which had been our original intention.More

I adore Papii. I have visited on three occasions for breakfast and absolutely loved it. Not only is the cafe adorable inside, the food is excellent. The staff is very friendly and can manage a crowd very effectively. While there is limited seating in the...restaurant, it's definitely worth a visit. Their waffles are probably the best in Edinburgh!More

The food was excellent but found the menu to be limited, we went here as it was recommended as a good spot for breakfast but it feels more like a lunch/ brunch place. We have 3 stars as my other half has a gluten allergy...and they have no GF options.More

It’s a very small place, but worth holding on for a table. Nice choice of breakfast items, and amazing pastries. Eggs Benedict comes with their homemade hollandaise sauce which makes a huge difference 😀

This tiny coffee shop is near our hotel so we went for both lunch and breakfast when time was limited. The food is fine and fresh although nothing extraordinary to repot. The coffee and chai latte, however, were delicious.

It's open from 9am until I think 4/5pm. A lot of businesses are closed as it's a bank holiday, so I'm unsure and would recommend giving them a call to check.
