Cafe
The Undercroft – a community café with a warm welcome
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10:30am – 2:00pm
Please note that during November we will be closed on a Monday.
Come and try our friendly Undercroft Café in the heart of Edinburgh for fresh, home-made food at reasonable prices.
You will find a selection of scones baked each morning – fruit, cheese and a daily special. We offer two choices of vegetarian soup served with homemade bread, a hot dish of the day, and a mouth-watering variety of cakes, tray bakes and shortbread all baked in house by our kitchen team. You will find gluten free options too.
Plenty of teas and specialty coffees, as well as fruit juices and soft drinks. We have recently introduced a loyalty card so you’ll want to come back for more! We use Fairtrade and locally grown ingredients where possible.
Here’s what our customers say:
“Lovely place for a coffee, lunch or a snack. There are gluten free options and oat milk if you need it and toys for children to play with too. The staff were so friendly and the service was so fast. The soup of the day was very tasty!”
“We wandered in while doing a walking tour and stumbled upon the cutest cafe run by the church. I’m not a particularly religious person and eschew evangelicalism, so given that, I felt totally comfortable. It was like having coffee and scones with your great aunt’s house while relaxing. They have a nice variety of lunch foods, though we had scones and drinks. The prices are cheaper than more coffee shops nearby and it’s a lot quieter with the low him of conversation from other small groups at the tables around the cafe! Would highly recommend!!”
