At Coro we believe chocolate should be a fun and sharing experience. We don’t claim to be master chocolatiers, in fact its quite the opposite. Our aim is to give customers their chocolate fix but not just from your standard bar of chocolate. We pour our Belgian chocolate over freshly made pancakes, into our buttery crepes and drizzled over our fluffy waffles. If thats not enough we’ll give you a fondue to dunk some fresh fruit, cake or sweets into melted chocolate with a hot chocolate like no other to wash it all down.

    We have been twice as tourists over a 15 month period--it was great both times, and have been quite accommodating in altering drink/food orders. Would continue to go back, and wish there was something like this close to home.

    Best dessert place in Edinburgh city centre! New decor is lovely since the refurbishment. Kinder Bueno milkshake was one of the best I've had! We often come here for a sweet treat when in Edinburgh. Very well priced and lots of options for both sweet and savoury. Very much geared towards creating your own which I love. This time we came for dessert after dinner elsewhere so I finally had the Death by Chocolate Cake. Hands down the best chocolate cake I've ever had! Their hot chocolate is also made with your choice of melted chocolate and is delicious. Only slight thing is the toilets could do with a bit of TLC. Would highly recommend (I'd also recommend booking, especially during the Fringe and festive seasons)

    I had booked a table for two on a Monday night but probably didn't need to, as there was availablity. The food came out quickly but we were accidentally given one wrong item, which was amended straight away, and the staff were very nice about it. I had the s'mores cookie dough which was delicious. The whole experience was good and I would recommend this business.

    Largely my experience at Coros (as always is a very enjoyable experience). There was some minor changes which I wasn't expecting, such as ordering and paying at the till rather than table service. This was not a problem in the slightest and actually self- service on certain things made lots of sense, such as cutlery and water dispenser. Was a little bit loud with families and children around but it wasn't too intrusive. The food was divine and would happily come back!

    The most divine pancakes I have ever eaten. I last visited Edinburgh over 4 years ago, and I have been dreaming of Coro’s ever since. I went back to Edinburgh last week and they did not disappoint, just as scrumptious as I remembered. A must if you are a chocolate fan.

    Arrived on time for our booking, & waited to be seated. Despite the cafe being quiet we were initially ignored by the 3 staff members who clearly saw us, a disappointing first impression, as even the most basic training should ensure that they at least acknowledge and smile at any new customers! Once seated, in a comfortable booth, we made our choices from an inviting menu (with lots of options for customising your pancakes, crepes and waffles) then ordered & paid at the counter. Our food was prepared fresh and arrived within a fair timeframe, but they totally forgot our drinks order and I needed to go up and remind them after we had already started eating. We'd thoroughly recommend the bubble berry waffle and the pancakes with bacon, egg and maple surup, both were absolutely scrumptious! I was seated at one end facing towards the counter and observed a general lack of efficiency and enthusiasm in all the staff members (at least 4). A mistake was also made in the order at the table next to us, with a dish being returned amd a fresh one brought. They were all young and possibly inexperienced, and had that air of really wanting to be anywhere but there, which made the atmosphere far less inviting than it should be. The toilets were also dirty, with only a scrap of toiet roll left, which is simply unacceptable, anywhere! On leaving we again experienced a lack of a simple goodbye or thanks in response to ours. Coro Cafe is definitely to be praised for its sweet foods, but the atmosphere and service both let it down. Sadly I would not recommend Coro as its basic standards of service are simply not good enough.

    A must for children visiting Edinburgh 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Specials were amazing. Memorable visit if on the pricey side for pancakes and waffles. Teapot was too small. Booking essential as it was very busy

    Really enjoyed our time at the Coro Choc Cafe. Very polite and cheerful staff. Without prompting recognised my wife's birthday. Just a really good chilled time. Oh and the desert... Well wow and that's coming from someone with a very sweet tooth.

    Overall the food was delicious! The area where they cook the food was quite dirty and chaotic. One girl was flipping the crapes with her hands with no gloves on. I understand it’s a dessert place, but it should have been a little more cleaner. Also they could have used a little less Nutella on the XL staked pancakes we ordered. You could barely see the pancakes.

    Lovely cafe and a good choice menu. Kids loved it. It wasn’t the cleanest though, 3 glasses I picked up were all dirty and menu’s need a good clean too. Just something that could easily be kept on top of!

    Visited for an easter treat. No children's menu therefore we both selected to build our own. My son wanted pancakes but smallest size on offer was x4 pancakes, which was far too much even for an adult. Felt it was quite overpriced for all the extras you have to add on thereafter as the portion size of those were small in comparison. However the food did taste lovely. Staff were very friendly but service was quite slow, despite cafe being quiet. Toilets also didn't look/feel very clean. Left feeling a little underwhelmed.

    Ordered and they got our table mixed up. Then they served our food 45-50 minutes after we ordered. Honestly quite shocking. Coros has always been a must go every time I go into town with family but it seems like they were not managed very well. Didn’t know we were coming for a reservation when we reserved a good amount of hours in advance therefore we had to wait 10-15 minutes so they can ask 2 people to be moved from a big booth. Food was not cleared from tables very quickly therefore we were waiting with tables around us that were empty but dirty. Quite a downfall Coros have had as I’ve been going there for a few years.

    Not served at all, even handed menus on way in and told to find out table number. 30 mins for our food to arrive. Chocolate fondue for 2 was actually 3 expresso cups with melted chocolate, a banana sliced, some strawberries chopped, small amount of mini drop scones, a waffle sliced. Expensive. Not impressed and will not be back. It also wasn't very clean.
