The shop, in the popular Stockbridge area of the city, now has a constant queues along the narrow pavement outside.
Owner Darcie Maher said the unexpected situation forced her to recruit a steward to ensure the safety of children passing from a nearby school.
Punters have also been told off for munching pastries on the neighbours‘ properties.
A post on the bakery’s Instagram page said: “We’d like to kindly remind all our lovely customers not to use any local private property to enjoy their pastries.
“Our wonderful neighbourhood is struggling with the influx of people looking for somewhere to sit around the bakery.
“We’d like to politely ask that you don’t sit on people’s doorsteps or benches.
“We understand that we have no control over the actions of people before or after they leave the premises.”
Only eight people are allowed inside the Hamilton Place bakery at one time so the remainder stand outside on the street.
But the bakery has also marked out a line on the pavement to advise punters where they can stand.
Ms Maher told the BBC: “The safety of the children and parents at Stockbridge Primary School is a priority for us at Lannan.

“We continue to work closely with the school and have engaged a queue warden to manage the queue.
“A new full-time member of staff has been brought on board for this purpose”.
Councillor Stephen Jenkinson, the City of Edinburgh Council’s Transport and Environment Convener, said: “Our officers have had productive conversations with both Lannan and Stockbridge Primary School over these concerns.
“I understand that the bakery has now taken on an extra member of staff to manage the queue which is a step in the right direction.
“We want to support our businesses and make sure everyone can move around safely.
“We’ll continue to monitor the situation and engage as appropriate with the relevant parties.”
