Qupi Cafe is an independent Greek and Mediterranean café at 171 Leith Walk in Edinburgh. It has served the neighbourhood for more than twenty years, combining the feel of a familiar local coffee shop with homemade food inspired by the owners’ Greek heritage.
Breakfast and daytime dishes are joined by Greek favourites, fresh salads, spinach pie and warming preparations such as beef stifado. Traditional cakes and other homemade treats complement the savoury menu and give the café a strong identity beyond coffee alone.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are part of the regular offer, helping the compact café serve a broad range of daytime diners. Food can be enjoyed inside, collected to take away or ordered for delivery, and catering is available for events and workplace lunches.
Coffee and tea remain central to the experience, whether ordered with breakfast or a slice of cake. Guests with allergies should check current ingredients with the team because homemade recipes and shared kitchen preparation can involve common allergens.
Address: 171 Leith Walk, Edinburgh EH6 8NR, Scotland
