Prior to arriving in S. Queensferry we had done some research on TA to give an idea of what to expect in terms of tea-shops/cafés. All of the establishments along the High street seemed to get very positive reviews on paper, so we had high expectations for our visit to the Picnic Coffee Shop. Small interior and good selection of cakes on display. We ordered scones with jam and cream together with drinks. Weather was OK, so we sat outside to eat our order. Over the years we have sampled many scones from numerous locations, and one can immediately tell a good from a bad one. Don’t know whether this was an off day, but the scones did not taste home-made – more like a defrosted one which was cold in the middle. Despite this setback, the place had very clean toilets and very pleasant staff. Perhaps it was just an off day?
Only found out this little cafe offered gluten free on the last day of our holiday, had we known earlier we would have tried a few more bits they had on offer. As it went though we had a gluten free cake of which they had a good selection of prepacked cakes. They menu does have paninis and jacket potatoes, the ladies seemed to be knowledge of Coeliac so I think they would be able to cater well. My other half who isn't Coeliac had a scone which he said was lovely and there was a good selection of other cakes on offer. Not too badly priced as far as cafes go these days even if the chap behind us was moaning about paying £5.50 for a toastie (I have seen worse prices!
We came to South Queensferry on our way home on New Year's Eve. Every where was very busy so we felt very lucky to get a table here. The service was prompt and friendly and the menu was just right for lunch. The drinks and food came quickly, the scones were very good and the verdict on the haggis rolls was so positive that my sister is going to try to make her own.Great value for money.
Such a lovely little place to stop for some much needed hot food and hot chocolate to warm up in the snow! Food is of excellent quality and the Luxury Hot Chocolate was amazing Staff were all very nice too, especially the younger girl who, bless her, spilled tea on herself (hope you're okay!
While we came to the area we thought we would drop in at the coffee shop to get a warm drink. The service was very welcoming and very good service. Also lovely coffee. Also the food looked amazing.
