If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Edinburgh to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, look no further than Bennitos Cafe. Nestled at 199 St John's Rd in Corstorphine, this charming café offers a delightful array of both food and drink that is sure to please any palate.

Bennitos embraces a menu that beautifully marries comfort and variety. Their selection of Paninis and Sandwiches showcases tantalizing options such as the 'Hey Pesto' and 'Pollo Panino', perfect for a satisfying lunch. For a taste of the Mediterranean, try the 'Greek Wrap' – it's a burst of flavor wrapped in a warm embrace. Don’t miss out on the 'Tuna Melt' if you're craving something classic, and for those leaning towards plant-based goodness, 'The Vegan One' delivers on taste without compromising on the experience.

The beverage offerings at Bennitos are equally inviting. Picture yourself savoring a perfectly brewed cup of Breakfast Tea or a calming Chamomile, with the rich aromas intertwining in the cozy atmosphere. A standout recommendation is the rich-hot chocolate, loved by many for its creamy goodness that feels like a warm hug on a chilly Edinburgh day.

What sets Bennitos apart is not just the menu, but the inviting ambiance and the warm, friendly staff who create an inviting atmosphere. As one local, Katie McLeod, aptly put it, it’s “the loveliest people ever” that make the experience truly special. Customers leave praising the attention to detail, with notable mentions of the delightful hazelnut latte – which has been deemed the best in town – and fresh, delicious options like French toast drizzled with maple syrup.

Add to that the cozy interior and beautiful decor, and you have a perfect spot for a relaxed meal or a tranquil coffee break. The café has garnered rave reviews for its value for money, making it an excellent choice for those who want to indulge without breaking the bank. Customer Javad expressed his adoration for the pistachio cream, while Christel Davidson (Travis) enjoyed a lovely lunch with the family, praising both the quality and service.

Furthermore, Bennitos is also dog-friendly, making it an ideal pitstop for pet owners as you enjoy your treat in the quaint outdoor seating area, which is perfect for those sunny Edinburgh days. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Bennitos Cafe effortlessly combines delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and a strong sense of community, making it a must-visit destination in Corstorphine.

The coffee was perfectly brewed with beautiful latte art, and the hot chocolate was rich and creamy just the right treat for a relaxed day. The prices are very reasonable, making it great value for money. What really stood out, though, was the warm and friendly staff

Lived nearby my whole life so I was excited to see what this was like now it's been turned into a café, and I was so pleased! It's beautifully decorated and the staff are the loveliest people ever I got a hazelnut latte with oat milk (which was the best I've ever had) and the French toast with bacon and maple syrup - everything was delicious! Great value too as it's made fresh. They're also pet friendly so there were plenty of cute dogs coming and going. Definitely recommend!!

We had a lovely lunch here, I really enjoyed the Greek wrap, while the kids loved the cheese and ham toasties/wraps. The ice cream was delicious and the service was lovely.
