Patisserie Maxime - Edinburgh, City of

Excellent service even though it was very busy. Ladies very friendly and attentive. Afternoon tea delicious

We stay 5 mns walk from Morningside Patisserie , had been to book ,no need , tried to phone , went today lunch time , sorry no tables , can wait ,comeback .no ,can we book for later , NO , what a rude and disgraceful way to react ,went else ware. Looked in one hour later it was empty.

The food looks appealing but sadly is not the quality customers would expect of its French name. A letdown and service not very friendly either. Very average Edinburgh has so many cafes and bakeries that value quality, hard to see this surviving. I won’t be back.

I know Covid is making things difficult but I have been here twice (always try and give everywhere a second chance) and the welcome is not a warm one. In truth, it's grumpy. The baked goods look amazing but unfortunately it's style over substance. Indifferent coffee.

NOT RECOMMENDED! My friend and I had planned to meet at Patisserie Maxime Morningside (October 2020) but she was told she couldn 't book. When she got there today, she was told they were fully booked. VeryConfused.com. She was then informed that okay, she could have a table for two, but had to be out by 1.30pm (it was 12.30pm). By 2pm there were still empty tables evident. We both ordered the goats cheese and spinach quiche, which arrived stone cold. I asked if it could be heated, and was informed there was no means of heating on the premises. Not even a microwave oven!?? Overpriced at £5.95 for simply a slice of cold, slightly burnt quiche, nothing else. Cold, unwelcoming atmosphere, so we decided to go next door to La 'Telve Cafe Bistro, where we discovered a friendly welcome, cosy atmosphere, reasonably priced and not surprisingly well patronised. In these tough times, Patisserie Maxime needs to 'brush up ' on its service, obtain a microwave oven.....and lower its iniquitous prices. Kathleen, Edinburgh
