Amazing food, really great value for money! Superb service made personal with friendly staff. Just to top off the experience, at the end of our breakfast they brought over delicious caramel squares for free with the bill. 100% would recommend and would go back again.
We had an amazing experience at this local cafe in Edinburgh. Johnathan, the owner, was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The haggis was exceptional, and we couldn't get enough of it.
We visited twice and were pleasantly surprised with complementary dishes both times. The cozy ambiance and Johnny’s hospitality added to the overall charm.
Highly recommended for a memorable experience in Edinburgh!
Brought my boyfriend from the USA to Scotland for the first time. I wanted him to experience an authentic Scottish breakfast. I ordered the Hungry Tummy for him and the vegetarian for me.... Jonathan was friendly, knowledgeable, amiable, and even cooked up an amazing feast..... totally impressive!
Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere! The veggie option was much appreciated and the size choices were great. And if you are looking for a little sweet treat, the millionaire shortbread was delicious. Johnny and the staff were super friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend!

If you're in Edinburgh and you haven't checked out Johnathan's Cafe, you're seriously missing out! This place is an absolute must-visit if you want the ultimate Haggis and Tatties experience. And guess what? You even get to meet the man himself, Johnathan! He's such a friendly dude and made us feel right at home.
Sure, the cafe is small, but who cares? It has 100 years of history, and the real magic here is the incredible Scottish hospitality you'll feel. We ended up going to this place twice during our time in Edinburgh, and both times Johnathan surprised us with complimentary dishes and sweets to give us a real taste of Scotland. Seriously, the Haggis and brown sauce were out of this world! But the dish that really blew our minds was the combination of Haggis, hashbrown and cheese. It was pure foodgasm!
I can't stress this enough, you HAVE to go to this place. Johnathan's Cafe not only serves amazing food but also captures the spirit of Edinburgh. So, do yourself a favor and make sure to swing by. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Great food and even better hospitality. I have been here two days in a row to eat breakfast for a reason! If you are Edinburgh, you must eat here.
Excellent little shoppe to get a taste of the local flavor; both food and culture. Had a terrific Kate breakfast of the Hungry Tummy, which includes a good portion of all the Scottish favorites. The haggis was one of the best features of the dish, although the bacon was also excellent. Much more akin to small American country ham than the bacon we get stateside, and for me that's a huge bonus.
Danny is friendly and exceptionally charming, and the conversation was warm and easy. While his shop is small, it's impressive that and his small staff can take care of everyone so efficiently while making them feel so welcome.
Don't pass on this place. It's a stellar experience for a quick bite.
Johnny is amazing!! Traditional as it gets. Best haggis I've had in Scotland!
Thank you for the lovely breakfast! I had the most delicious typical breakfast and I even got haggis - I had to try the owner said! :) The owner and his co-worker were both so kind! Great coffee too!
We came from London yesterday and had a delicious breakfast here. All 3 of us had never tried haggis and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was! Very friendly service, the gentleman cooking the food gave us great information about the city and had a great sense of humour, would definitely go again
Was a very authentic experience of good hearty cooking. Definitely helped us recover from a night of well fuelled fun. It is not the cleanest place but we did not mind! :) The owner is extremely nice and gave us free desserts. I recommend if you want a nice hearty Scottish breakfast.
Absolutely lovely, chilled out staff! They welcomed my dog in too and fed him a plate of food that he licked clean❤️❤️
Jonathan, the chef, is very friendly, knowledgeable and makes people feel right at home by engaging with them personally. If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for an affordable greasy spoon to binge out on no-nonsense, good quality Scottish food, head to Quick and Plenty Café without a second thought🥰
(multiple vegetarian options available too🤩)
The best place for the breakfast in Edinburgh! Amazing atmosphere! The best and the most positive chef in Scotland!
Quick & Plenty Cafe truly felt like the most authentic Scottish dining experience we went to during our trip. Based on the environment, it was reassuring to figure out that this is probably where the locals eat. It definitely has hole in the wall vibes, but any casual foodie would know that’s where you find the best food. Johnny was friendly, welcoming, and funny, he even gave us a caramel shortbread on the house while we waited for our food (and it was delicious). After we got our food we stopped by a cafe for coffee and the barista commented on how good our takeout boxes smelled haha. I was really happy with how much food was included in the small breakfast, I have a small stomach but it still felt like a pretty big breakfast to me so the value was great. Unfortunately we were leaving the next day but I would’ve loved to try lunch foods in the menu.
This is where the locals eat! Oldest cafe in Edinburgh, and it did not disappoint. Delicious Scottish breakfast, and the owner even threw in some free haggis for us to try (it's surprisingly delicious)! Much cheaper and better quality than all the newer places around it.
Wanted a real experience when visiting Edinburgh. This cafe is perfect. Small, quaint and the staff are great. The food is just what you need and the chef sings along to his music. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Stopped in for a quick bacon roll and some cheesy hash with beans. Great little dinner , with good food & friendly service.
great vibe, classic scottish food and excellent lads! the best cafe in Edinburgh, warmed our travelled out hearts
I came here for breakfast yesterday and it might have been the best decision I made during my trip to Edinburgh. The owner (Jonathan) was very nice and warm and welcomed me into the restaurant and gave me the run down on the Scottish breakfast. I was a bit scared to try the haggis and black pudding, but everything was delicious! Jonathan said that they had the best haggis in town and he wasn’t lying. The meal was warm and delicious and the perfect fuel for a long and cold day of exploring, and more than that it gave me a taste of Scottish hospitality! You have to need to come here at least once, but hopefully more, in your life!
Traditional breakfast was delicious, the owner was very hospitable, and the place is tiny and cool. Johnny does it all, he takes your order, cooks and serves up your food, and does the dishes too. Don’t forget to try the brown sauce! Johnny had a friendly word for every customer, whether they were regulars or new. Some younger people walked in while we were eating, so he put on some music and turned it up “for the kids”. We loved the food and the whole vibe. But this little place is more than just cool, it’s an Edinburgh tradition - it’s been in the family for 100 years with Johnny now at the helm after his mom’s passing. Thanks for a great breakfast Johnny, and for a true and personal taste of Scotland!
