Burr Co - Edinburgh, City of

This place used to be great, but last few times have been disappointing. Poor standard coffees of recent, don't know if it's untrained staff or what. On recent visit, coffee was spilled by barista and then topped up with milk. It should have neen remade as it was weak and was not a flat white. Probably should have addressed at time but had already waited a while during a time that was not busy.

Lovely building, just wanted to stop in for a coffee and a cake. We were rushed out by the staff as they were trying to clear away our table before our food was finished, understand that they had a large group come in, but didn’t expect to be rushed out.

Stopped for a little lunch on Sat 10 June. The table (outside) needed clearing which a waitress did but there was spilt coffee which she didn’t come back to wipe down I had to ask for it to be wiped. We ordered a sandwich, toastie, tea and coffee. The sandwich came and we waited for another 5 minutes for the drinks no milk for the tea, I had to ask, they then brought a pot of hot milk! Had to ask for the toastie which they clearly had forgotten. By the time it arrived my husband had almost finished his sandwich and my tea was cold. The chicken BLT was very tasty but the toastie was tasteless might just as well have been eating cardboard! Considering this cafe is part of the George Hotel, would have expected a much better level of service. Tried to speak to a waitress as we were leaving to mention our dissatisfaction but she could barely speak English. Will certainly not be returning.

Coffee and tea were ok, and the staff were friendly. The seating area is a little cramped but we managed. The worst thing though were the pastries that pretend to be croissants. They mostly look the part, but they certainly don't feel or tast like croissants. No flaking, too dense, chewy, sweet. Avoid.

We were expecting to have some sort of breakfast here as the premises looked lovely on the outside and the inside is nice to . However the bacon on display was old and grey looking ,we asked if they had more, No we have to sell what 's there ...I opted for a Scottish potato cake and sausage bap . The sausage was a very cheap plastic textured sausage and a heavily deep fried dried potato cake . Don 't advertise breakfast if you can not cook it ! Don 't display old reheated bacon , if you think you can cook it ,its an insult to the intelligence of your customers .
