There were a lot of things that made this cafe worth reviewing. Although, since loading it's information, I discovered it started out life as a florist - which explains the arrangements and floristy/homey things for sale in the cafe.
The cafe's owner, however, opened on the dot of 10 when she saw two hungry day trippers loitering in the High Street; we'd actually been exploring North Berwick for about two and a half hours by then, so breakfast was something to look forward to.
Disuaded from toast and jam by the knowledge I would probably smell The Beloved's bacon roll and wish I'd had that....we got two coffees and two bacon rolls.
And it's worth the drive. No re-heated bacon here! Soft fresh rolls, tasty bacon (I still can't figure out how she cooked it that was different from normal!) and good mellow tasting but strong coffee. And all insanely cheap!
Service was excellent, the shop section was cute and added a cosy, sweet, "tea at your gran's" sort of atmosphere, food was not haute cuisine (but who's looking for that first thing in the morning after beach combing?!) and the rhubarb sponge looked amazing. We meant to go back - and we were given a 10% off voucher for our next visit, so we just might have to head back down there on our next available weekend.....! read more
