Burr & Co

Cute place. Great ambience. Would recommend this place for coffee.

This place wasn’t on my list of coffee houses to try, but due to the Wellington having no spaces was my second choice due to location.
Unilocal has actually let me down for the first time ever, as this place isn’t high up on the list of good coffee places, and I personally feel that this is not fair at all.
As soon as you walk in, you’re transported to a classy, Parisian coffee shop with a Scottish twist. Looking out on the beautiful George street, the servers in edgy denim aprons, and the coffee made from the infamous caravan roasters. Playing soft beat jazz music, you immediately feel relaxed and like you could spend all afternoon here.
I opted for a flat white and with it being Valentine’s Day, thought it was especially fitting that my latte art came with a heart.
It was a great coffee with the milk foamed nicely to create a smooth, silky texture that complimented the bean. I really like it here, and hope it climbs the ranks in the Unilocal world like it deserves.
Burriliant!

This place was recommended to me by someone who knows coffee, so naturally, I had to try it. It was a Saturday afternoon, so was exceptionally busy. The interior is very sleek and doesn’t feel like any other coffee shop in Edinburgh. I agree with Angelo E. it has a NYC feeling, which is nice. They use Caravan coffee and even with it being busy, the staff seem to have a good system down to get people served. They don’t have soy milk so I opted for an almond milk flat white and my partner got an espresso. I also was tempted by the vegan carrot cake, so ordered that as well. We were able to snag a seat in the window, overlooking George Street, which was a nice place to enjoy our coffee. The coffee’s came quickly and mine tasted really nice, it is a very citrusy coffee and was nicely made. The cake was very tasty, nice and moist, my only complaint being that the icing tasted sort of like a lemon cleaning product. You really can’t fake a good icing, so I think it would have been far nicer without it. They did have a lovely range of cakes and smaller food options at the counter. I would definitely go back, there is lots of seating, friendly staff and it feels very chic!

This place is located on George Street near St Andrews Square. I never noticed it before. Today was the day to try it out. It’s a small coffee shop adjacent to a hotel. The only table left was a long table with «moving» seats connected to the table and which was shared with other coffee lovers. Anyway, they were not the most comfortable seats :-) And our conversations were definitely overheard by our neighbours who could not hide their listening tactics. lol.
I ordered a latte at the counter and had to wait quite a bit for it. They bring the hot drinks to you and you are given a table number. The coffee was quite strong and had a sour underlying taste to it.
It’s a quaint little place and a lovely add on to George Street and best visited by a quick pass by for a caffeine replenishment rather than a lingering environment for a group of friends. It’s too small for larger groups that might want some more social time!
Enjoy!

I’d been meaning to try Burr & Co for a while after seeing them at the recent coffee festival.
As part of The George hotel it’s a bright and modern looking venue. The bar takes up quite a lot of space and if it’s busy things could get a bit cramped. There’s a little space to the side with a bit more room, and if you catch it when it is relatively quiet this is a nice place to sit for a while. A friend and I escaped the Edinburgh rain and sat at the window seats looking out across George Street.
We had a couple of flat whites and a blueberry muffin. The coffee is good — certainly above average, although I don’t think it’s quite up to the highest standards elsewhere in the city. There are a lot of *really* good coffee places relatively nearby however so I can’t myself coming here just for the coffee.
I’m no Mary Berry, but the blueberry muffin was a bit disappointing; it was pretty under baked and had collapsed so it was a bit of a disappointment. Having said that I think I may have just had bad luck as a lot of the other baking (including some nice savory scones) looked tempting.
It seems like a solid choice. I will hopefully come back and try some more of their food as I think this could end up being a good lunch spot.

My homegirl and I needed coffee and a place to continue our chat and fortunately we found this cute café on George St. I never noticed it before, but I love this place cause it reminds of a café if find in NYC… It just has that «feeling» if you know what I mean?!
It’s a pretty small café and the menu is standard. You got the different types of cakes and nibbles… (They have an opera cake) and the typical coffee drinks such as flat white and latte. I got the latte since that’s my go-​to drink… It was ok, not like the lattes I get when I’m in Italy, but close enough. There are many small tables so this is a great place to catch up with a friend or if you just want to chill.
The décor is simple, urban chic and the staff are friendly. The prices is decent for coffee… The flat white and the latte cost around £4.50 in total. I’d definitely come back here for a cup of latte…

Meandering along George st, I spied this new coffee house, situated just past The George hotel. As the caffeine levels were in serious need of a top up I popped in for a flat white late in the afternoon .
The staff were very friendly and helpful and whilst waiting for the barista to brew my drink, I couldn’t help but notice they had a great array of home baking that looked delicious .
This was noted for a return visit hopefully in the not too distant future

A newer coffee house soon George Street. A good selection of eats and very good coffee :)
