Kilimanjaro Coffee, Edinburgh

nic — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:04:19 +0000

I went here four times over the weekend. Coffee varied from excellent on the Thursday to about average over the weekend. Quality was evidently very dependent on the barista. Quality of service was equally varied; most staff were really nice, except for one who was a bit grumpy. Otherwise, a nice little cafe in Edinburgh; good crowd, nice, comfortable seating; good atmosphere too.

If I’d just been there once, I’d rate it 5 / 5; the espresso I had was excellent, light, with a slight citrus flavour. The other espressos I had were somewhat bitter and sometimes longer than they needed to be.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Best coffee on the sunshine coast, hands down. They use Veneziano beans, and the baristas accept nothing other than perfection. No food available, only fantastic coffee.
