If you are lucky enough to find a seat here get one of the fantastic scones. Some of the best in Edinburgh.

It's a nice place to have a simple café with cake.

Great atmosphere, but £3 for 1 espresso is very overpriced IMO. I had a flat white and it was pretty good. Friend had a long black and didn?t like it as much

Sehr gut besuchtes und nettes Cafe. Gegen 10 Uhr sehr voll, gegen 9 Uhr gute Plätze bekommen. Es gibt guten Kaffee, Tee sowieso. Es wird eine gute Auswahl angeboten, meine zwei Frühstück ( Toast überbacken mit Fried Egg oder Sandwich mit Haloumi) waren klasse. Der Service war flink und sehr freundlich. Wir waren gern da, sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Not sure how it's still open.. service is terrible, food is slow and mediocre, staff is HORRIBLE! You can hear arguing + shouting from the kitchen, the place is a state even when there is visibly a lot of people on shift.. the scones look pretty bad. You're not even served with a smile or manners, every member of staff looks angry and unapproachable, frowny face and bitter tone while you're being served. A man behind the counter was just carelessly walking around talking on the phone in a foreign language, ignoring the cue next to him. Apparently serving customers is difficult to do. And with all those negative aspects, its still almost £5 for a cup of coffee. Funny. Whoever the manager is should step up and fix whatever the hell this shop is, I am never to return!

I have been a regular customer here for several years but have been put off by several recent poor experiences. On my last visit, we were ignored for several minutes by a staff member who saw us, but did not acknowledge our presence, as he was cleaning equipment. When he did finally serve us, his manners left a lot to be desired. We waited longer than we should have for our drinks, given the shop was quiet. The customer behind us quite rightly picked him up on his behaviour, as she was made to wait even longer than us before being served. Again, she received no acknowledgment from the staff member that she would be served, despite being clearly visible. Obviously tinkering with equipment is more important than serving customers!
I think some staff members would benefit from customer service training, or getting a different job as the attitude they exude suggest dealing with the public is beneath them.

Nice enough staff but the food was overpriced and not hot.

Ordered a roll & coffee to go and told the man to let me know when it was ready as I was waiting outside with my dog. They just left the roll and coffee to get cold inside without letting me know. Didn't offer to replace the cold items, wont be back. Place is a rip off

Nice coffee. Average food and pricey. Grumpy staff and slow service.

I don't ever write reviews on places, but after my fairly recent trip, I almost feel obliged to. I've only ever been here for takeaways, as I live nearby, however my two friends and I decided to meet up here for a catch up. When we arrived it wasn't too busy, so we had the delight of getting a big round table next to the counter where the cakes and coffee machine is. I am so happy we got this seat, as we now know the true colours of the staff that work here. I am utterly disgusted and appalled at the staff. There is one male who frequently works here that is the most racist and disgusting person I have ever seen employed. He is very clearly not of black ethnicity and me and my friends caught him saying and using derogatory terms against black people, even going as far as to saying the N word to other staff (Who seemed rather amused might I add!!). Adding to this, during our visit we witnessed two foreign Asian girls which came up to order whilst the same male was serving. They struggled to communicate and my friends and I overheard him saying "Sorry, we don't serve sushi" to the two girls, followed by him laughing to his colleagues. Bloody disgusting!! Is this customer service??? I'm certain that the owner is unaware of his behaviour, and I blame management and other staff for not taking action, unless they stoop to his level too. I have been and visited the sister shops of Project Coffee (Press, Kilimanjaro) and staff there are lovely and very down to earth. Here is a different story. Racism, lack of respect.. Must I add the place was a wreck! Quiet day and so many dirty tables, staff were too busy laughing at the racist comments to do their job. Adding to this issue, the staff is so loud in the kitchen it is unreal. One girl was laughing so loudly me and my friends couldn't hear each other. Chatty, giggles and such but the water jugs were empty, people not served, dirty and unwiped tables. Honestly, if anyone reading this wants to get a taste of their delicious coffee beans I would reccommend visiting the sister shops, there's even one other one in Morningside owned by the same person. Safe to say me and my friends left rather quickly. I wish I had the courage to speak up and ask for the manager, but I thought I might aswell warn any other potential customers. The cakes are nice, I'll give the staff that. Nothing else special, not even human decency.

Lovely little coffee shop

Project Coffee is a great place for drinks and food if you can manage to get a seat.The fact that they are always busy speaks for itself , the food is always fresh and very flavoursome and because of this customers keep going back.Bruntsfield is always a busy area for breakfasts and Project Coffee is one of the busy ones especially with students and if they are lucky their parents picking up the bill.Today we had Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato soup served with bread along with Carrot cake and tea.See you soon.
