Do you ever walk into a shop and want everything? Not just most of it but actually everything. I…read morecould quite happily decorate my flat in just things from here while wearing clothes from here too. It's a slightly odd mix of furniture, jewelry, art and clothing but works. It's also a mix of vintage, modern and new. By comparison to similar shops in Edinburgh it's quite cheap and they have a very good January sale. The store is really small and packed full of stock so if you want something from the back it may take a while to move everything so you can buy it. If you see something that you want then buy it as it might not be there when you come back the next day. The owner is super friendly and will recommend other things in stock if something isn't quite right (or too big for the space you need a table for). For small gift and pretty things for presents it's also ideal. Sigh, someone just buy me it all ok?

It's such a shame for a small village to have hardly any facilities available to passing trade our group was glad to see this place, that has one side that is used as an antique shop and the other for a tea room. The cafe has not got a hot food licence so can only offer sandwiches and a bowl of soup if you are lucky, we where at least able to get a good cup of tea and something to eat to recharge our batteries. My friend had a sandwich with the only choice available being cheese and tomato, but there is a good selection of home baking on display. The lady that served us was nice and chatty, that made our visit a pleasant experience.

lovely wee tearoom and secondhand shop run by 2 friendly ladies…read more We stopped in to Simpatica on the way back from a walk - and what a delight! Not only did the owners stay open a little later for us they also allowed us to bring in our wee dog and we were then treated to an assortment of homemade soup, freshly baked cakes and teas and coffees all at a very reasonable price. The two ladies running the shop are just lovely - really friendly and chatty added to the whole experience and you are surrounded by beautiful, ornate vintage homeware and oddities. It's like a step back in time this little gem of a place where your tea is served in beautiful china tea cups and saucers in a homely enviroment. Definitely worth stopping in if you are passing through / in the area.

On the day I visited though the member of staff was really unpleasant, abrupt and impatient with my elderly mum and also myself for absolutely no reason at all. The shop was quiet and there was no reason for him to be like that but he was. It will always be a popular shop because it has so much cheap stock but they can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

As Steph said, they stock some classier gifts that would be fitting for a formal present, or something tasteful for your gran.

Plenty of space. The area looks very neat and tidy. More like a proper English village coffee shop Anyway the girls working there were very young. Not much knowledge of the area either. But that's fine. I ordered a latte and ginger bread and was quite impressed. The size of my cake piece was very spendacious. I can imagine customers are coming back for second portions. Literally they did on the day when I was there. They also do lunches, besides all the homemade cakes and scones. Prices are very fair. I also browsed their gift shop. Very nice candles they are selling there. It's a lovely country coffee shop. Stop there, if you can!

Yummy soups, cakes and a good French press!…read more If you are heading down this way to North Berwick, stop here as it's situated in a small hamlet of Red Sandstone Houses. Lovely picturesque village. This is one of my Mum's favourite indulgement establishments! I love the Gift shop as it's chic and lots of things to pick and go ohhh! and AHHHH! at!! Cakes are all made by the owner and all fresh! Soups also are delightful on a cold winter's day. French presses come in mild, medium or strong and i always go for strong - keeps me buzzing until i get home! The cafe also do sandwiches and other edibles. It's small so it does get full rather quick. But have a browse in the gift shop and as soon as a table comes free the staff are please to come and fetch you. Nearby is ... DUNBAR (I've reviewed the Dunbar Community Bakery on the main st and it's a catch! Grab an eclair or fantastic sausage rolls ((or both)) and head to the harbour for a beautiful seascape! and SMEATON - Smeaton Garden Nursery - is a beautiful little but well established nursery with a lots of delightful finds. it has a tea room too where you can get a bite to eat and a good cuppa! It's situated in one of the old potting sheds!
