Formerly Café Cibo, formerly Caffe Citro, this little café is tucked away off the main road in Corstorphine. Being quite close to my work its usually the café of choice should anyone fancy going out for lunch.
Its a shame really but the quality of food has declined a bit with successive revamps of the café. The cakes are still yummy but I found myself a bit disappointed with the quality of my sandwich on my last visit. £3.50 for a tuna sandwich with cheap brown bread and some lackluster salad? I knew I should have had the spinach tart.
The Original Coffee Bean is still great for tea and cake which are baked fresh on the premises. Best of all the café has a little covered patio out the back which is lovely to sit in during the warmer months.

On the day I was out and about in Costorphine, it seemed to be awash with great little businesses. This one was no exception — Caffe Citro, situated at the top of Station Road. It’s run by a couple of ladies, both of whom had a very cheery disposition, and gave me a warm welcome. I bought myself a bottle of water and sat down to enjoy the relaxed ambience.
The café had a very fresh feeling, with a few tables and chairs, some window seats, and a smattering of sofas. There was a wide range of hot and cold food, cakes, desserts and even Mackies ice cream on offer. Whilst I didn’t sit outside in said outdoor seating (it was raining), I can see that it would be a pleasant place to have a seat outside.
This place is a real find. Make sure to pay them a visit if you’re in the area — you won’t be disappointed!

This place is great for a whole host of reasons!
A wide selection of consistantly good food, great smoothies and fruit juices all prepared freshly for you when you order. Outdoor seating which earns two stars when the sun is shining. Ice cream — and lots of it, all of which was Mackies, a locally produced icecream that tastes great. And all of this costs suprisingly little, which is always a great thing!
Yup, they are all great reasons to come here.

Paninnis, baguettes, cakes, coffees, smoothies, pastries, this one ticks every box! As the title suggests, Caffe Citro specialises in fresh juices and smoothies and has an entire chill dedicated to these bottled ice teas, smoothies and lemonades.
Caffe Citro provides outdoor seating, which was delightful on a day like today when the sun was blazing and, though parched, I wanted to remain outside!
The coffee is good as well, but what I love about this place is that it sells Mackie’s ice cream! Next to Ben and Jerry’s, definitely my favourite! I find that the staff are always friendly in here and the décor is bright and fun, so Caffe Citro is always on my list when looking for a fresh bite and drink around Corstorphine!
