Views over fields to Lindisfarne and local photography/art on display including by a former Eastenders star who played Charlie Stubbs! Arrived here after an early start from Edinburgh to get to nearby Bamburgh Castle (in Bamburgh) where nowhere was open on Sunday morning for breakfast or brunch except Victoria Hotel, where we must have had our invisibility cloaks on so we moved on! Staff at Beal on the other hand were friendly and helpful. Had the vegetarian breakfast and would really recommend it. Fresh asparagus and mushrooms were a nice touch and everything tasted cooked with attention to texture and taste. We were asked if we wanted the coffee while we waited or later, which is how it should always be! We stayed for quite a while reading papers with coffee. My only comment, which I say about everywhere, is that I would like the option of a pot of tea or cafetiere/refill coffee. They're taking reservations now for Christmas and definitely have space to accommodate larger group bookings.

Drift opened a wee while ago just off the road leading to North Berwick, but it's taken me up until…read morenow to pay a visit. It is evidently popular, as we arrived just after opening time and the place was almost full, The menu is a little limited, with just a couple of artisan-style coffees on offer, as well as tea and hot chocolate. There is also a small breakfast/lunch menu available too. I had the French toast and it was pretty good, but a little dry, and was more simply "toast" as it lacked powdered sugar and syrup like French toast typically has. To drink I had a latte which was what you would expect for this sort of establishment in terms of quality and taste. I liked the whole concept and style of the cafe with the aesthetic of it being built into old shipping containers, but I don't feel like it really lived up to the good reports I'd heard from family and friends. It is a good coffee shop, but it wasn't really what I was expecting, and I wouldn't really say it's worth trekking all the way out just to go to when there are perfectly good cafes within North Berwick itself such as Steampunk.

This has been on my hit list for a while now - the Parlour is tucked away off the beaten track just…read moreoff the A19 en-route to Alnmouth it's not an easy place to stumble past. With plenty of spacious seating on the patio and tucked away in little corners of the garden we found a lovely little table for 3 in the sunshine. For winter months they have 2 main buildings and 2 out-houses which are very pretty and well decorated inside. Post-birthday night out I was a little worse for wear and ready for a full English and a good cup of tea unfortunately the breakfast cut off point is at 11.30 however I wasn't too disappointed as the rest of the menu left plenty of tantalizing options for me to choose from! The waitress came over to take our orders and helped me choose between 2 dishes that I was torn over. The drinks service was a little slow but the food was timey and the presentation on all the dishes was amazing! My Dad opted for a seafood platter, which came with smoked salmon, crayfish, cockles, mackerel and crab slaw all served with sourdough bread, hollandaise and aioli sauces - seafood heaven! My Mum went for the lamb and goats cheese burger that was divine! The lamb was cooked to perfection with it being pink in the middle and served with a yummy mint yogurt dip and sun-dried tomatoes. I was stuck between the club sandwich and BBQ pulled pork open sandwich. On recommendation I went for the pork, which was served, on sourdough toast with melted Monterey cheese - heaven! I was having food-envy looking at the lamb burger but was not in anyway disappointed with my pork. Finishing off our meal with the Parlour's specialty - ice creams all round! I have a new found love for the homemade lemon meringue cone... There is so many flavours including apple pie and the originals too - its an ice cream lovers heaven! Our leisurely lunch here was fab and they are also promoting the "Super Club" on the 18th of July that is a diner's paradise! With three courses plus their homemade ice cream at £25 a head it doesn't break the bank either. This place was definitely worth the 20-minute drive and I will be back to try their dinner menu!

The Afternoon…read moreTea was calling to me.. but unfortunately we already had a packed lunch in the car ;) But I did manage to have a lovely soya latte and slice of a sticky toffee cake! It was a really yummy cake! The sitting rooms were so cute, we were in the garden shed , and there was the main room, and the ice cream parlour and outdoor sitting. A really well done place, with layout and set up. Sometimes tea shops along the high way have a whole room full of junk they are trying to sell to you and then cramped sitting. But not here I think I saw a few cute things for sale but mostly they were focused on their food and I was told famous ice cream! Well done for keeping the place about whats most important... the food! Friendly service and tasty treats. It was a bit slow because they were super packed and under staff. The waiter apologised for the wait and said someone had called in ill! I can only rate it on the cake and coffee because I didn't eat anything there but I imagine it would be good .

Still loving everything about this coffee shop! If I were local, this would be my go-to haunt (as…read moreit is, whenever I'm in Edinburgh, I take the train just to come here and then walk the beach). The large interior has an industrial vibe while still feeling warm and welcoming, the courtyard outside is a perfect place to enjoy some sunshine (the upstairs is only open on the weekend). Get a cold brew or an iced latte or an iced Americano with oat milk - it's so good! They also have a few bakery items, including a vegan banana bread that is DELICIOUS (one of the best I've ever had). It's a thick, moist slab loaded with nuts and dried cranberries maybe? There's just something "more" to it that makes it special. I recently bought beans (flavor notes of "jammy" and "honey"; it's SO GOOD), and it seems like I can reuse the canister for a discounted refill the next time I'm here! I believe they even grind them if you want. They also have some really cool merch (tote bags [I own], beanies, shirts, etc). #CoffeeAndSocialSolidarity

We were recommended this spot by our Airbnb hosts and just happened to stumble upon it and remember…read morethe rec. We came to North Berwick from Edinburgh for the day via a very easy 30 min train ride. Steampunk is located in the back of a building on the main street of North Berwick. It is sparsely decorated but the theme seems to be related to bicycles. We stopped in for midday iced lattes and a snack. The lattes were good and I appreciate their to go cups and straws are all paper based. The granola bar we grabbed did not impress me at face value but wow was it delicious. Like chewy granola with some cinnamon added in. It was the perfect sweet pairing to the latte. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating here.

I'm not really a fan of their drinks because the coffee machine waters everything down and always makes the drink PIPING hot. The food however is heavenly. They have a table full of cakes, scones and fresh bread from our very own artisan bakery in town! I am always tempted by the gorgeous empire biscuits and chocolate eclairs which are very big and extremely filling! But what the Glasshouse does best is breakfast. They have breakfast rolls (formerly known as Stotties) which are filled to the brim with sausage, bacon and egg and always make me feel ready to face the day ahead. Combined with a bottle of fresh orange juice, it makes a delicious breakfast. The toilets are pretty clean as well. There are about 5 toilets, all of which are always gleaming, as well as 3 sinks which have hot water that doesn't scald your hands, as well as the lemon scented paper towels which are really soft on your skin. I'm glad that the restaurant is set in a huge glass dome which creates a lovely bright atmosphere. It is also decorated with cute things like "palm trees" and fairy lights.
