Our Story
Nestled at *186 Causewayside*, Gilded Stone was born from a passion for bringing people together over exceptional food, specialty coffee, and warm Scottish hospitality. Designed as a seamless day-to-night retreat, we transition effortlessly from a vibrant morning café into a sophisticated evening haven for artisanal dishes, milk teas, and botanical drinks.
The name Gilded Stone reflects our philosophy: taking the raw, foundational beauty of Edinburgh’s heritage and elevating it with refined, handcrafted touchpoints. Whether you are grabbing a quick morning flat white, working over a specialty brew, or unwinding with friends over evening small plates, Gilded Stone is your home away from home.
WHY GILDED STONE?

We don’t just serve coffee—we curate moments. From our morning single-origin espresso and velvet milk teas to our evening small plates and botanical drinks, Gilded Stone transitions effortlessly with your day. Whether you’re starting your morning or unwinding after hours, our doors are open for every occasion.
Community at Our Core
We believe that true luxury is thoughtful and inclusive. At Gilded Stone, exceptional food goes hand in hand with social responsibility.

When you dine with us, you are actively supporting your local community.
