Elephant & Bagels edinburgh

This place has a cute atmosphere, and is good to study and close to the uni. The chai lattes are delicious, the bagel was underwhelming. The salmon portion was good though.

We love elephant and bagel! The staff are so friendly and the food is always delicious. There are so many options and all are really affordable and so amazing. We will always be back!

The food here is very good and this is the only place I found in the area with actual rashers (i.e. American bacon). However, the bagels are a little sad. Really friendly and attentive staff and relaxed vibe. Great, supportive, liberal, artsy posters on the way downstairs to the loo.

Adorable cafe in a central location. Perfect for grabbing a bite between classes.

place is interesting with certainly it's own fan club. decor is eclectic. coffee is sub par.... never had a flat white with froth on top. bagels are less delicious than toasting your own warburton's bagels from Tesco. if you know how to put together your own bagel, store bought or whatnot, come here only when you need a place to chill/chat. if you come from America.... stay away as you'll be very underwhelmed.

Lovely ambience, peaceful student place to work too. Owner helpful with directions to Old Edinburgh Grassmarket.

Although the cafes not huge there are quite a few seats and it's size just makes it cosier. I love going here because the food is great and it's lovely place to have a chat. There are seats for people to work and study as well.

I love a place that can do everything, but there’s nothing quite like a place like Elephant & Bagels which does one thing to perfection. Want a bagel in Edinburgh? Honestly, look no further. I recommend the smoked salmon but they all looked scrumptious.

Most relaxing cafe in Edinburgh with lovely staff, really missed it in Covid.

A lovely warm and friendly elephant themed bagel place. A decent amount of seating (we managed to beat the lunch rush though, the queue got quite big!) Their selection is wide, and delicious! Their menu is very interesting and has something for everyone. Was a perfect place to come for lunch.
