Cuckoo's Bakery

Had a nice time visiting today. Relaxing ambience with ample space between tables. Had a cappuccino and dark hot chocolate along with a birthday cookie and a strawberry cheesecake cupcake. The cupcake was absolutely delicious. The cookie was a mix of white choc with fruity bits, that was enjoyable as well.

Ordered their Highland Coo cupcakes, they were so accommodating in swapping out the filling for a non-alcoholic option and the cupcake delivery was seamless. Cupcakes were absolutely delicious!

These cupcakes are a MUST. If you're in the area or if you're not, still make time to check this bakery: you'll find the kindest staff, a warm set-up and a great choice of delicious sweets.

Very friendly staff. The food was good and the hot chocolate I had was great. I had one of their cupcakes afterwards, you have to try one of them, they're great. Would recommend stopping by here.

I have gone to his bakery on many occasions because their cakes and brownies are the best in Edinburgh (in my humble opinion). The flavours are creative, thoughtful and unique. There is always something for everyone - cake flavours, cookies, brownies and scones. You get a lot for your money in terms of portion size, flavour and decoration. The staff are always very friendly, appear happy at work and authentically engage with customers. We hired Cuckoos to do our wedding cakes in June 2019 and the whole experience was fun (and delicious!). The wedding coordinator, Sophie, was so enthusiastic and actively helped us hone our flavours and designs. We had full creative control and Sophie let us get very creative. So much so, we went for 3 cakes, 2 sets of traybakes and 6 gluten free cupcakes (and 6 cupcakes for ourselves incase we were dancing too much to eat!). At the tasting they mocked up 6 cupcakes (some with flavours we'd chosen and some inspired by our flavour choices). The tasting was fun and we had undivided attention in the store. We could feel Sophie's excitement when they came out and it was infectious! The cakes were STUNNING. People still bring them up and talk about how delicious they were. I'm no Mary Berry so I won't describe the taste/consistency but I will say that everyone at the wedding tucked in and I was getting messages days, weeks and months after about them. Cuckoo's did all the delivery, set up and provided stands, etc. They did such an amazing job, I can't sing their praises high enough. Plus the value for money in terms of wedding cakes was better than anywhere else we had seen - and that was based on ALL our cakes versus one tiered cake form elsewhere.

We had one of their special cappuccino and hot coffee which were the bomb! The scone was also great, loved it! The staff was very nice and friendly. Must stop on the way to the botanic gardens.

Visited the Grindle St bakery yesterday and had a very tasty lunch, delicious leek u0026 potato soup with a super tasty cheese scone (loved the peppery flavour) and then the most heavenly carrot cake cupcake which had a twist of orange zest in it, so good…sweet but this zestiness offset it perfectly. Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Staff were very friendly and efficient too. Great value for money in a stylish setting. 🥰

My favorite cafe in Edinburgh! The flapjacks are superb and the white chocolate birthday cookies are the best cookies I've had in my life! I always order a salted caramel latte and it never disappoints. The friendliest people work here, they remember my husband and I, and always make us feel welcome. We bring all of our visitors here! Can't say enough nice things about this lovely cafe! They also have themed bakes for holidays - something extra fun to look out for!
