A true neighbourhood gem! Such a warm & welcoming space with super friendly staff. The man who I believe is the owner is very kind and approachable. I always feel at ease here, and I love their coffee! A perfect spot to relax or do your work. Thanks all!

Amazing flat white coffee and pear tarts. Aside from great coffee, the Florentin is slightly less hectic than its neighbour cafe. The cafe really has a different feel: more relaxed and laid back. That is probably due to the innumerable leather sofas and armchairs scattered around the café to complement the vintage chairs and tables. Even the coffee is served in 70s-style cups and saucers. It would be nice if they could eventually have radiators on the wall to heat the café instead of the mobile ones dotted around strategically. That said, it’s not a deal breaker. What I like about this café is its community spirit both in terms of serving it’s neighbours and sharing the work of its local artists. For example, there is currently an exhibition by a local visual artist Hannah Kelly whose work is delightful. Art and great coffee. Can’t be bad POSTSCRIPT: As of 25 July 2021 Covid-19 implementations, they have spaced out their seating and have sanitisers and persecute screens between the tables. They also have a QR code on the menu that is a checkin to the government app to register your whereabouts. Really good communication. Coffee and pastries are still delicious.

First time at Florentin and I will definitely be back. Very relaxing friendly place, comfy chair, tea, top up of tea, delicious soup and nice quality bread. Got a bit of knitting done as well, what more can you ask for, perfect!

One of my favorite spots during my time in Edinburgh! Great coffee, delicious smoothies and bagels – and the carrot-walnut cake is an absolute highlight. Super friendly team and a really welcoming atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!

Been here a few times food is great, portion sizes are amazing value for money - check the specials board the chorizo bagel & Thai green & lentil soup was top notch. Lush aesthetic inside. Great for just a coffee & cake or lunch

Great vibe & coffee! I have visited several times mid-week and always had great service. Haven’t had any food yet, but the coffee and biscuits have always been great. Wi-Fi works well.

Fantastic neighbourhood café with a consistently warm welcome from friendly, hard working staff; delicious food and coffee; and a chilled relaxing atmosphere. Great value for generous portions and family friendly too. We loved the pistachio pancakes
