Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The service was superb. We asked for recommendations for our gelato selection and were totally wowed by them. Salted caramel kinder bueno in doughnut and salted caramel w banana peanut butter waffle. Totally sinful but worth it. We also had fruit and cream waffle. The...waffles were soft and fluffy. Perfect afternoon dessert.More

Excellent gelato! One of the best I’ve had, globally! The staff is cute and welcoming, they have Gluten Free options and the Vanilla is extraordinary.

After receiving a recommendation from a friend I had high expectations. Smoov not only met but far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Staff are the kindest, the interior is beautiful and tables are clean. Prices are more than reasonable, with my waffle portion...being larger than I anticipated. Beautiful presentation and by far the best waffle I’ve ever had!More

Unfortunately this visit was disappointing. The filled donuts were not what is advertised. Been here before and it was amazing. You would thing with the £1.50 price increase they would keep the standard. Three donuts at £6.50 each with hardly any ice cream in them.

Fantastic gelato and wife also had an ice cream donut which she said was delicious. Portion size of ice cream was generous and tastes delicious, particularly the salted caramel. Been back a few times. Also good as opens later than many other ice cream shops.

I had the salted caramel & Masagascan vanilla with sprinkles, caramel sauce & marshmallows. It was DELICIOUS! If you're a gelato fan I would definitely recommend this place. My mum & sister had the gelato filled doughnut & they were very impressed.

Drinks were not good at all. Shake was too liquidy: just milk and raspberries, no ice cream. I threw it away as soon as we went outside. Hot chocolate was just warm water w no chocolate. My wife threw that away too. Service was slow,...order was also incorrect. Good items looked pretty good, but we didn’t order one of those.More

Yes, I had breakfast here with my friends. The taste of the food is sweet but the level of sweetness is acceptable and delicious. Not feeling chemical. Good for instagram. But we also ordered some sweet drinks. Next time you should try tea with the...dessert.More

Took the kids for sundaes. Sundaes exceeded expectations in a calm unpretentious cafe environment. I had a lovely chilled lemon tea too. This is a cafe to go out of your way for.

Few Edinburghers live in the Old Town, but its
labyrinth of dank alleys and steep streets suggests

the town was once nicknamed, and stroll the Royal
