A rare find: a sandwich shop serving delicious sandwiches, salads, and soups, and wonderfully friendly service. Really great independent spot where I had an absolutely fantastic salad. The staff go out of their way to make you happy with lots of specials changing daily.
Absolutely loved the wraps we had here. Loved the music, the vibe and the warmth. Ideal for breakfast and coffee. Hope to visit again!
We went to Embo this morning and had a great experience.
Great coffee but I was especially happy with the muesli - very generous portion for £5.50 - more like a meal than a little pottle you often get. The staff were so friendly, and although I didn’t catch their names, they certainly made our morning better. Would recommend.
It was closing time but the lovely staff still managed to make up a takeaway box of salad for me to eat on my journey home.
I ate some of it on the way and still had plenty left to eat 5 hours later, once I got home.
It was fabulous to enjoy with some wine. You guys know your salads. 👌Thank you again.
We used Embo’s catering service for the buffet at our daughter’s baptism. Mike went out of his way to be accommodating, and there was a great selection of hot food/ cold buffet. We had so many compliments on how tasty it was. Would use again and highly recommend.
This place is an utter ray of sunshine to bring some cheer on a rainy Edinburgh lunch time. The Mexican style chicken sandwich is so fresh and full of goodness, very yummy. The side salad that came with it is way above average with diverse leaves, seeds, shredded broccoli, juicy toms and a gorgeous dressing. Plus they were playing reggae. Staff were friendly, happy chatting customers, over all vibrant atmosphere. Think I've found my new favourite lunch place 😁
Update - the owner left a very friendly response to my review which suggested there may be some free cake the next time I visit! This response isn't showing publicly on my review for some reason but wanted to mention it as think it is a good illustration of exactly the kind of place Embo seems to be. Just lovely. Will be back for sure!
Very pleased with our breakfast/brunch here on Saturday morning. The place is a beautiful spot which welcomes the sunshine in June. The service was fantastic and the food amazing. The prices were sound and the interior quite heavenly. So lucky to stumbled into this lovely place. Thank you.
Angels ! My 16yr old sprained her ankle this morning across the street and we couldn’t get to her quickly. Uber cancelled and the staff from Embo offered cups of tea and helped move bags waiting till help arrived from family. Eternally grateful Mum. Highly recommend!
Great guys serving the best breakfast I've eaten in UK & Scotland so far! <3
And it's worth visiting just for the great vibe you feel inside :)
Just popped by for a little salad. Oh my, what a delightful treat. So many lovely flavours. Love these guys!!!
Delightful little cafe, had hot smoked trout salad, was so tasty.
Lovely Place where to have breakfast
I love Embo, it’s my regular treat. Art work on the walls is beautiful and often for sale, staff are always friendly and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the roast veg and feta toasted wrap with a mocha 👌🏻
