Their bakery case is clearly labeled with what's gluten-free, what's dairy-free, and what's vegan. We got empire cookies that were absolutely lovely (we should have gotten two more to bring home!): buttery shortbreads filled with jam, topped with icing, and a sugared jelly candy. We enjoyed them with an iced Americano (soya for me, oat for my partner) sitting outside in the sun at the Cross Well. While they were SUPER busy on a midweek day, the staff was friendly, patient, and went out of their way to find us to hand us our cookies and drinks when they were ready!

After a long day walking around in and outside of Linlithgow castle I needed a nice hot chocolate…read moreand shelter from the cold wind. Coffee Neuk to the left was the first coffee shop I saw and which stood out from all the other coffee shops around the market place. My first thought was that the prices are high and the food about average, because of the closeness to such a famous attraction. My expectations were "luckily" not fulfilled :-) When I entered, there was nobody at the counter and a couple was sitting near the window in the adjoining tea room. The place seemed deserted, but "oh mei" was I wrong, Within minutes the tea room filled up with people enjoying an afternoon chat with friends or tourists just getting in from the castle visit, like me. I had to order at the counter and was informed that the scones were sold old. Next choice was a piece of carrot cake and a mug of Hot Chocolate, which by the way was a Cadbury Hot Chocolate (just to point it out, as they appear to be very proud of the Cadbury logo). I took seat at a small table (1-2 people max, but really cute) and attempted my first bite of the carrot cake. What can I say? It was not dry, no, it was soft and juicy with a layer of cream cheese topping. The menu choices are limited, but what you get has substance. The staff is very nice, the prices very accommodating ( a lasagna for abt £4 ?!?) and the place very clean. I went to the toilet and when coming back my table was cleaned and no trace of me remained. Ah well, and so I continued forth on my journey back home.........

Yet another good coffee shop in the surprisingly small town of Linlithgow. Coffee Neuk is a more…read moretraditional coffee shop. It's a lot cheaper than some of the other cafes such Ebulum (previously reviewed). But this is really where its charm lies. The staff here are really friendly, though for a Linlithgow cafe that doesn't seem unusual. It is a tad small, but they make the most of the space. Unfortunately at lunch though this place gets pretty popular. Expect the usual sorts of hot drinks, as well as some snacks ideal for lunch. I had the soup of the day which cost me £2.40. That's pretty good, or at least average, for Edinburgh prices. But the portions were bigger than normal and it was served with decent bread. I like to think we Scots are proud of our soup but you'd be surprised how many times I'm disappointed by the poor quality soup served around Edinburgh! Coffee Neuk didn't disappoint though.

They have a decent size menu with a variety of food options. There is limited seating in front where the deli area for customers to wait for packaging.

Haggis, Cheese & Sweet Chili Sauce Panini- Served with a side of chips and salad. Obsessed with this hot-pressed sandwich. The tangy chili sauce compliments the uniquely crumbly texture of the haggis well. Such a warm comforting sandwich. Overall Service: Incredible staff. They were ultra-friendly, taking the time to engage with their customers while serving up some delicious eats.

This is a newly opened coffeehouse in the small town of Bo'ness. At the moment it's pretty brave to…read morestart a business in Bo'ness's town centre (which is actually on the edge of the town, on the banks of the River Forth), since - along with every other town centre in Scotland - it has been in decline for some time. Nonetheless, Bo'ness Bakery seems to be an extension of decades-old Bo'ness institution Horne's the Baker's. And it deserves success. It's a well staffed coffee-house with baked goods of the quality you'd expect from a family baker. Cakes are made in-house and are great in texture. Also on offer are filled rolls and sandwiches, paninis, bagels, 'breakfast' rolls with hot fillings, and a range of coffees and teas. The house speciality seems to be pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. The coffeehouse ranges from practically empty to practically full - depending on the time of day. It has wi-fi and its clientele seem to be of all ages. The interior is immaculately clean and decorated with fresh flowers. Staff are attentive and efficient. I hope people support this coffeehouse, since Bo'ness needs one!
