Word Of Mouth Leith Menu

Word Of Mouth Leith at 3A Albert St in Edinburgh is a cosy neighbourhood café known for hearty breakfasts, relaxed lunches, and carefully made coffee roasted in-house.

Drinks include espresso, cappuccino, flat white, chai latte, teas, hot chocolate, fresh orange juice, smoothies, milkshakes, and soft drinks.

Most guests can expect to spend around £10–£20, with generous breakfast portions and freshly prepared dishes offering good value for central Edinburgh. Fresh eggs, vegetables, quality breads, cheeses, smoked salmon, and house-roasted coffee create simple but well-balanced flavours.

Vegetarian diners have strong choices such as Veggie Breakfast, Eggs Florentine, Croque Veggie, quiche, and spanakopita, while vegan and gluten-free options are also available. Gluten-free bread can be requested. Yoghurt, poached eggs, soup, and vegetable-based dishes provide lighter choices, while waffles, croissants, and simple egg dishes can appeal to children.

The café is especially suited to breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee breaks, takeaway, and relaxed meals with small groups rather than dinner or large gatherings.

Menu Highlights

Full Breakfast
A generous cooked breakfast brings together eggs, sausage, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, and traditional breakfast accompaniments. Its hearty portions and classic Scottish character make it one of the café’s most praised dishes.

Eggs Benedict
Poached eggs are served with a rich, creamy sauce and savoury breakfast ingredients for a soft, luxurious texture. The carefully cooked eggs make this a standout brunch favourite.

Eggs Royale
Poached eggs and smoked salmon create a rich yet fresh breakfast combination, finished with creamy hollandaise-style flavour. The contrast of delicate salmon and silky eggs gives the dish an elegant feel.

Croque Madame
A toasted ham-and-cheese sandwich is topped with an egg for a warm, crisp, and indulgent café classic. Melted cheese and savoury ham make it particularly satisfying for brunch or lunch.

Eggs Florentine
Poached eggs are paired with spinach for a lighter take on the café’s egg dishes. Creamy, tender, and fresh, it is a popular choice for vegetarian diners.

Belgian Waffles
Warm waffles can be paired with toppings such as berries, honey, golden syrup, or bacon. Their crisp edges and soft centre make them equally appealing as breakfast or a sweet treat.

Spanakopita
Flaky pastry surrounds a savoury spinach-based filling for a crisp exterior and soft, flavourful centre. Its Mediterranean character adds welcome variety to the café’s British and European favourites.
