Steampunk Coffee - Iced lattes with oat milk, vegan banana bread in the background.

Steampunk Coffee

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.

Ebbcarrs Cafe - Decent coffee and the most amazing homemade cheese scone.

It was a lovely sunny day and after a wee wander showing g the delights of St Abbs harbour and…read morehoping to see the pod of dolphins that had been sighted the day before we were in need of sustenance. While g ordered I caught up with my old primary school headteacher - well I was going to meet someone I knew I grew up here! It was nice enough to sit outside and while we weren't lucky enough to get one of the tables with a harbour view it was such a delight being outside and dry I don't feel that we can complain. G ordered me a coffee and a cheese scone and himself a cola and a fruit scone, the coffee was really good. Not to be horrible about the area I grew up but one of the reasons I left and only go back for short visits was a dire lack of decent coffee, well now I can open discussions about moving home. This was good coffee, things have changed, I feel this deserves bunting. On top of great coffee, these scones have to be some of the best looking I've seen in a long time. I was fully prepared to be a little disappointed that the taste didn't quite live up to the way it looked but this was without doubt the best cheese scone I have ever had. There was wholegrain mustard through it and I want another one now please. This is a great wee cafe and much to my mum's delight has made me consider going home a bit more often. I just hope next time that there are dolphins too!

Ebbcarrs makes it's own soup, I think. I had the leek and potato, whilst the boy tucked into spicy…read moreparsnip. Served with warm crusty rolls, it was a great choice for a rainy, grey Sunday out on the harbour at St. Abb's. Oddly, we were drawn by the delicious smell of soup, but inside, it smelled much more strongly of old oil, but we pressed on. As well as the soup, we decided to try out the dressed crab as part of their fresh seafood menu. It was my first time with dressed crab and for me, it wasn't anything to write home about. Saying that, my experience of crab really ends with 'sticks', so do you really want me to be the judge?

Henry's coffee House is by far one of the best coffee places ever! It's prices are great, the food…read more(especially the carrot cake) is amazing and the atmosphere is so friendly. The only problem is you can't get a seat some times and have to walk to the other one 5 min away to see if that has a seat free! Henry's offers a great selection or hot and cold beverages and also has food which caters for most dietary needs. They carry a range of soya, gluten free, vegan etc. They are are also always willing to help cater for anything that's not listed. The majority of the staff are very welcoming (yes I'm a sucker for nice staff) and they also have free wifi which is always a bonus if you have an hour or so to kill. The coffees it's self are great tasting and when you ask for a large... you get a large and they also have a license for alchol, so if it's cold there happy to pop a cheeky wee tipple of whisky in there! There are two Henry's, theres one on the seagate with no outdoor seating and one, which is my favorite, at the main square which has outdoor seating. Right now there construction work however over the next months or so it will defo be my go to on a nice day in Dundee.... not that I need an excuse any more!

Wonderful little coffee shop in Dundee. Free Wi-Fi and reasonably priced coffee/tea and treats…read more Plenty of places to sit and outlets all over the store, which makes it easy to plop down with your laptop and have a decent cup of coffee. My cappuccino tasted great!

I go every year to Scotland and make this one of my stops to visit and eat. I love these people…read moreand the food along with the groceries are fresh! The farm is self sustaining and clean.

**WARNING** This is a lengthy review and you WILL be hungry after reading!…read more Just outside Perth and a short detour from the A9 lies Tibbermore (I know, cute right!), a typical 'blink and you'll miss it' kinda place, but really, just don't blink cos this place is awesome! It really does have it all - fresh fruit and vegetables all leafy and colourful, a gin lovers corner, wonderful cheese and meats deli, health foods section including a variety a GF flours, breads and oatcakes (try their own oatcakes, completely different from the brand that sounds like Talkers but sooo much tastier!), tray upon tray of freshly laid eggs...I could go on but you get the idea! And that's just the food section! They also have a glorious gift section where I could've easily spent a small fortune. Everything from kitchen gadgets to picnic baskets, kiddie gifts to Emma Bridgewater pottery and everything in between. I spotted a few local producers too which I loved as I always like to see locals businesses supporting each other. Then there's the café/restaurant which has a few outdoor tables but plenty inside if they're taken; the day I visited it was glorious but somehow we got lucky and got a table outside (my shoulders can prove that #scottishtan!...). The menu has lots of tasty options incorporating as much of their own produce as possible - I opted for the Homemade Chicken Liver pate while my parents both had the Smoked Ayrshire Ham & Gloagburn Curried Banana Chutney sandwich (Dad went hunting for the ham to buy later he was that impressed!). Once decided, we had to go inside and order at the counter; I'm not sure if this was due to us sitting outside or standard practise as when we asked for a second round of coffees (and some more oatcakes for me as I'd ran out!), a waitress came over with one of those electronic hand-held thingys to take that order so I wondered why she couldn't have done that initially, anyway, not really a star-affecting issue. Pricewise, we were just shy of £10/head for a sandwich and coffee (exc our 2nd coffee round), a tad steep but it's all fresh and local produce so I don't mind paying that when you know you're getting good quality (and it really was!). Given it's out-the-way location it's a busy wee place but worth the trip as you could easily spend a couple of hours here eating and browsing. There's plenty parking available and even a small play area for kids. Farm Shops like this don't come around too often, which is a shame as they really are wee gems of places!
