   Staff were friendly and polite, service was great and can’t be faulted at all. I was more than happy with that! Establishment was clean, toilets were also very well maintained. The spray air freshener in there is a nice touch as it’s never pleasant to have to walk into a toilet after you’ve eaten that smells awful. I’m used to cafe & restaurants having relatively unclean bathrooms, so it was nice to see. It would be great to see an accessible and gender neutral bathroom (where possible) as I didn’t see one available. There was no real ambience. Some low-volume relaxing music would be nice, just to create more of a vibe. I can’t recall if there was a radio station playing or not, but it would be nice to have something curated in the form of a playlist or rotational set of playlists etc. Food was unfortunately average for me personally. Some of the strawberries were too mushy and discoloured to eat, the whipped cream had no real flavour and the way the sauce was applied meant that one pancake got everything and the others got none. I would’ve liked to be able to pour it myself or some be poured on every layer of the stack. It wouldn’t be a problem for waffles & crepes, but the pancakes it would be much better. Pancakes themselves were very nice, soft and fluffy, not too sweet and not too salty.

   Would like our money back, waited a hour n a bit on food to be told the system was down? So another half hr on top of that for them to actually pull themselves together and do the order for some reason they were unable to do a hour n a half earlier.

   Entrance could do with a clean up there was a paper cup discarded in its side and the area looked a bit grubby. An easy fix to make the area look better. One member of staff not overly friendly others very nice. Food excellent.

   Staff need better training. Got our order wrong and forgot to bring us some of the food. Some people had finished eating before other peoples food at our table had even arrived and our bill total was incorrect. Food is nice but massive improvement on staff capabilities needed.

    Busy from 3.30 till 5pm and then considerably quieter. Lots of children enjoying the fare so quite an ongoing babble. The smoothie machine really is unpleasant during its intermittent fare. But staff are very kind, helpful and fun , not to mention very efficient. Of course , the main thing of concern is the menu- waffles, bubble waffles, pancakes, cakes ....all sorts of combinations with the accompanying drinks just as luscious in their mixes. Do not think of calories.....

    It was a bit disorganised and I had to ask several times before drinks were brought to the table! The savoury crepe was very dry and salty. My daughter had the fondue for one which was lovely! Service was poor, no one came near us for a long while and tables weren’t cleared until other people came in. We shared a jug of water with another table as no one served them any.

    We went on a sunny and warm day and there were no blinds at the windows so we felt we were slowly melting. It was also quite noisy with music playing and staff getting on with tasks behind the bar area, but food was lovely

    The food was great, but the service was painfully slow despite there being more staff than customers! 15 minutes from being given a menu till taking our order for example. If you’re not in a rush, it’s definitely worth the wait for the food though

    Great place, so glad we booked - probably needs a quick lick of paint and tidy up but only because its probably really busy and I can see why - lovely food, lovely people running it and serving etc - savoury offering I know is not the key thing at such a place, but they could be slightly bigger to compete with the portions given when ordering one of the many many sweet options - all in all though, really good

    Lots of items off the menu- including all milkshakes, all smoothies, all cookie dough, a number of cheesecakes and the chocolate cake. Food arrived with wrong choice of ice cream vs cream- but was resolved quickly. Just very disappointing to not have the choice.

    Went to find that the it was temporarily closed for 2 weeks. Booked it for valentines day and went all the way there to find no signs indicating why it was closed. Had to look up online. They obviously didn't cancel the bookings they had in this time so very disappointed.

    Would’ve been my second time going but turns out the cafe is closed for 2 weeks for renovations. Was not told about this and my booking was never cancelled so we didn’t know till we arrived. I don’t think the cafe should expect people to always look on their Instagram page before going. Very poor organisation and inconsiderate service.

    Visit with my friend and her 5 year old twins. I had a coffee along with the pancakes, fresh fruit and maple syrup. Tasted and looked great. My friend had waffles with chocolate and a fruit coulis which he said was amazing. The girls shared a chocolate fondu with fresh fruit. My friend and 1 twin had hot chocolates. Couldn’t fault food at all. It took a while to take our order but we weren’t in a rush and had arrived late. I did phone ahead and luckily they could still take us. It was quiet, weather outside was awful. Young ladies serving were friendly and accommodating. A great experience for the girls who got crayons to colour in. I’d definitely recommend and would go back for a treat.

    Lovely food and excellent presentation. Highly recommend the white chocolate mocha. Clean and comfy seating. Table service pace was ok. Was sitting at back of cafe and music very loud, waitress struggled to hear our orders and made it hard to speak to each other.

    My daughter wanted a chocolate fondue and a trip to the Edinburgh shops to celebrate her 13th birthday. She loved our first visit to Coro and think this will be a firm favourite any time we visit Edinburgh!!

    Light above table is quite bad. Service took a little while. Plastic glasses when placed on table should not be placed upside down. The dishes were ok but your menu needs to be reviewed If you bring an Americano that has spilled please change the paper tissue especially when it’s table service. Tables need a bit of cleaning as they were quite sticky.

    The waffle was delicious and the staff were friendly but it does get expensive with a build your own. My daughter and I shared a 4 waffle with chocolate sauce, marshmallows, cookies and 2 scoops of ice cream with a soft drink each and it was £17. Definitely somewhere I wouldnt visit regularly.
