Sad to see it closed, but that obviously not their fault due to a devastating fire so I’m not leaving a bad review like some of these people. A great stop to look at all the same, and will definitely have to come back when they open back up. Very cool location and surrounding area as well. Worth a visit for both Harry Potter fans and people close by.
Magical place for Harry Potter fans! The coffee shop is actually quite lovely, they have beautiful views by the windows. Hot drinks and cakes were good. Harry Potter fans have written tons of messages all over toilet's doors and walls. Liked the place and our waiter, I believe his name was Aitor, made the experience much better. He was lovely and allowed us to seat in when it was close to closing time, and overall, he was super nice and helpful. It can get really busy, so if you are not a Harry Potter fan, there might be other coffee shops as good as this one, but it's definetely a charming one!
I was lucky to visit during the early evening, we stayed until they were closing because the ambiance was so perfect. The alleged birthplace of Harry Potter was enchanting. Great coffee, I would suggest the whiskey coffee & victoria sponge pictured. Thank you for a lovely experience :
Our train was delayed a few hours so we had a quick afternoon in Edinburgh. We were delighted to find this place after visiting greyfriars bobby. Probably the lucky nose led us here! The staff served us quickly as we were rushing back for the train. Great coffee and cakes, interesting and clean interior. Recommended.
Good elephant cappuccino and a huge homemade muffin I had there. This cafe seems be very famous for tourists and was busy even around 11am on Monday. It was a bit challenge that I stayed there with relaxed feeling as JK Rowling said, but it’s worth visiting to taste good coffee and cakes, and see the atmosphere where she wrote the Harry Potter!
good cappuccinos, with a really cute elephant decoration! super lovely staff, nice place to come and sit down/shelter from outside! even better if you’re a fan of harry potter! mediocre bruschetta not easy to eat, not too good imo wish it was a little better - it would have made this place 5/5 stars! large cappuccino £3.10, bruschetta 4 half slices, only one pictured for £5.95 would definitely recommend coming here for a coffee and rather expensive looking cake! lovely place : thank you! inc some pics of the harry potter loos!
Not sure why many bad reviews. Food was amazing had the Scottish pancakes with bacon and syrup and the scone with clotted cream and jam. Super fresh, tasty and good size! Prices are reasonable. And I got JKR’s same table with lovely views and peaceful around. I just loved it! Yes, you’ll have to bear the stares from the rest of the people around that will just want you gone to have the table
So, this cafe is famous because of JK Rowling as they claimed. I liked the interior, which was spacious and fulfilled the tourists’ imagination of old styled UK buildings. The food was rather basic in my point of view. Coffee tasted plain to me although the elephant on it looked cute. The pancakes were nice but not impressive. My friend ordered chocolate cake and it was too sweet that she wasn’t able to finish it. I would say if you are a JK Rowling fan you can give it a try, to enjoy the atmosphere there. However I will not visit again.
The staff was nice enough to help me choose a cake but I didn't like the Peaches and Cream cake that I ended up with. I might have expected more about their food which is not that bad but not really excellent either. I like the place though, bright and cozy just as I expected cafes to be.
This place is just local tourist trap : they are proclaiming to be "birthplace" of Harry Potter but they are not : JK rowling said that she has been there once or twice after first book has been already published : real birthplace is not there : was that fire your Karma?
