What People Say

Diners rave about the “decadent desserts,” “friendly staff,” and the “great location” that makes it easy to pop in before or after a show. The crepes and waffles are especially popular, and the cafe’s playful vibe gets high marks for being a fun, casual spot to hang out. Many visitors also appreciate the generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that it can get a little busy during peak weekend hours, and seating is limited for larger groups. While it's not a full meal venue, those looking for savory pre-show dining may want to pair it with another nearby option. And of course, if chocolate's not your thing, choices are a bit limited.

The Bottom Line

For a sweet and satisfying stop just minutes from Edinburgh’s top venues, Coro Chocolate Cafe hits all the right notes for dessert-loving concert-goers.
