    I'm not very familiar with Tranent, but upon stopping along the high street this little place…read moresprung out due to the absence of competition. I couldn't find a little lunch-style cafe anywhere and I was lucky to spot this place. The menu is standard cafe fare - a page devoted to breakfast and all the regular things you'd expect to see for lunch. I ordered the pancakes (I LOVE PANCAKES) and was pleasantly surprised to see a huge plate of food arrive in front of me. Four large pancakes with accompanying bacon rashers slathered in maple syrup. The lunch was good and filled me up so much I couldn't eat the last pancake. I would eat here again, as it does its job perfectly well and the food was fine. The cafe was really dark though and terribly stuffy so I wasn't a fan of the atmosphere, but saying that it would appear there's not much else on offer in the town. So if this is the only place for pancakes, you could do an awful lot worse!

    I'm not familiar with Tranent but I needed an hour or so while my car was being looked at. I had…read moretime for breakfast and so I chose scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon - very hot and absolutely lovely ! Two pots of tea later, I felt human again... It's a nice friendly cafe on the main street and it was good to see locals popping in and out for breakfast rolls and coffee. Service was prompt, friendly and very polite - all in all, it was a very pleasant place to enjoy breakfast. Free Wi-fi, very reasonable prices and warm in a cold, frosty Scottish morning.

    The Tolbooth has been here for some time as an eatery in guise or another, but I've never really…read morestepped foot in the place since it stopped being a gift shop (hmm about 10 years ago I think!). So it was high time that this was addressed. I tucked into a serious open sandwich of goats cheese, red pepper and caramelised red onion - and boy, it was good. Underestimating my order, I had opted for the soup and a sandwich option, but it really wasn't necessary (although the carrot and coriander soup was tasty, and had all the hallmarkings of homecooked goodness), I left, stuffed and round as a ball. No room for checking out the homebaking either, probably a good thing - but it leaves me a reason for return, instead.

    This is a lovely wee place that has been here for 5 years. It's taken me 2 years to remember to put…read moremy bum in a seat here. It's a shame I waited so long. On a lovely sunny morning with one of the kiddies at nursery we decided to grab brunch outside here. We were greeted by the owner who was lovely to chat to. I ordered the French toast with bacon and my partner the full Scottish. A definite Yum in both our opinions. The coffee was just delicious which I think says a lot about a place. if they take care in the bean they serve as a lot of people order it, it should be your signature. All in all great service delicious food lovely coffee. We'll be back to sample more as they also do a dinner service on a Friday and Saturday night. The menu changes every week which is excellent. I had a look at the previous weekends offerings and there was a lovely variety. 2 courses for £19.50 or 3 courses for £24. Not bad for a freshly cooked locally sourced meal. Give it a whirl.
