What User likes about Pep Fodder:
on the way to the calton hill. yes, the place is tiny, and yes, they lead them to a correspondingly large table, even if they are not busy. but eating was really good. the owner said they get their broth and cake from small, local bakeries. the ciabatta was the first rat, and the caramel shortbread and baked were really delicious. we thought the waiting staff would be very nice, we would go back if we found ourselves... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Pep Fodder:
We are clearly tourists grabbing a quick coffee/breakfast sandwich to go, and sat at a table for a moment as we got our plan together and had a quick bite of our sandwich as we figured out our hiking plan and were going to walk out in 30-60 seconds to be on our way (it was a coffee bar and not busy at all). The manager came up to us aggressively, accusing us of paying cheaper prices while trying to sit (we didn’t rea... View all feedback.

The restaurant is in a nice location and the service was good. The food was decent, but slightly overpriced. The coffee was satisfactory.

The best brunch spot in Edinburgh! You have to try their Thai chicken noodle soup - it's a must! This is our favorite place to eat in Edinburgh!

Nestled conveniently near popular attractions, Pep Fodder boasts a charming atmosphere and an enticing menu, featuring delicious coffee and pastries sourced from local bakeries. While many patrons rave about the friendly staff and quality offerings, experiences vary widely. Some guests report feeling unwelcome due to strict seating policies and a lack of flexibility regarding table availability, which dampens the overall mood. Despite these unpleasantries, the café's quality coffee and inviting outdoor seating still attract a loyal clientele, making it a potential pitstop for those exploring the city—though caution may be advised for those expecting a warm welcome.
