Kilimanjaro Coffee (5♥) is in the Edinburgh University heartland just South of the Old Town and is run by the same folk as Press, Blackwood, Wellington and Project Coffee.

They use the London's 'Square Mile' beans and serve great coffee.

Kilimanjaro is on busy Nicholson Street and their food is varied, tasty and affordable including soups, sandwiches, paninis and all-day breakfast options. This shop packs in a mix of tables and chairs and a couch to slouch into, and its pretty much always teeming with people. If you can't get a seat when you arrive, it's not usually long before one becomes available.

We've sampled Kilimanjaro's brews regularly since 2009 and they always serve mouth-watering coffee.
