We LOVED Cloudhouse! We were looking for an afternoon tea stop at any café on the road from…read moreEdinburgh to Selkirk, and had already pulled off into a few towns off the A7, with no luck. About 3 miles north of Stow, we saw a sign advertising this café, so drove straight there. They met us at the door (a family of four), at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon and (bless them) were OPEN and still serving lunch! We had great coffee, toasties, toasted paninis and a roast beef sandwich with horseradish to die for. The cakes were irresistible. The service was prompt and very friendly. Make a beeline for this place if you are ever passing through Stow!

Hubby was away to see a job in Fife so me and the wee one decided to go along for a jaunt. We…read moreended up stumbling across this wee place after stoping to take some photos at the Forth Road Bridge! This little place was a delight! It's a quaint little cafe and deli with brilliant views of the Forth Road and Rail Bridge our little girl loved watching the trains going by overhead. The food was delicious all fresh, homemade produce! Both me and my hubby opted for the Broccoli and Stilton Soup for starters which was delicious, hot and just what we needed on a cold day. We both didn't want the bowl to end it was delicious! Hubby had the special which was an Aberdeen Angus burger with fries and sides this was juicy and delicious! I opted for a deli style toasty with bacon, Brie and tomato salsa this again was delicious. My little one was also well catered for with a kids platter which was only £2.50!! This was a great little idea with a plate of little bits and bobs for her to pick at including raisins, grapes, little crudités, some lovely deli sliced ham, a dairylea dunker and a peppa pig yoghurt, she absolutely loved this and kept her interested in her food. After we demolished all this we then ordered a carafe of coffee and a large slice of the mocca chocca cake this was delightful. A half between a coffee and chocolate cake very delicate and light and the filling was delicious. The coffee was also REAL coffee, real grinded beans, nice hot & strong with a kick. All of this plus drinks and our bill was £35!!, total bargain and not a scrap was left! This little place was soooo good that we are planning on a drive back to Fife just to come back here again, salivating thinking if that soup!! Yummy! They have a website and also on Facebook as Rankins Cafe And Deli.

I had the Moroccan chicken with apricots wrap and couscous, delicious. The waffles with crispy bacon and maple syrup scrummy. The scone with cream and strawberry jam was light and fluffy.

North Queensferry is an interesting place to visit with so much history attached to it, there is more than just the bridge here to enjoy. Xoxo

They have coffees and teas of course but what definitely drew me in was the fantastic selection of homemade cakes. The carrot cake was absolutely fabulous! They also have a good menu of beers and wines as well as more substantial food. The beautifully decorated, modern interior is cosy and was brimming with people the entire time we were there on a Sunday afternoon. McTaggart's also has a handy location on High Street with a two minute walk to the train station, making it the perfect place to go after enjoying a day out to relax or warm up before a train out of town.

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 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.
