1650 Coffee Shop in East Lothian

Called in for lunch but was quickly told hot drinks and cake only. Was told they close at 2.45 even though the sign on the door says 3. At 2.43 the door was snibbed, to ensure no one else came in. Coffee was meh.....cakes were delicious. Service was dire and delivered by unwelcoming staff, albeit locals seemed to garner a smile from the head honcho. If you don't mind an extremely poor welcome and service, head here. Reading the previous reviews, it would appear this business doesn't care about negative reviews.

Having wandered around Dunbar this attractive looking cafe was beckoning for a breakfast roll and coffee. We found a couple of comfortable chairs and went to place the order. The lady behind the counter was not overly friendly and asked three times what type of sausage was required in the roll. Then another lady put it through the till after asking me again. After all that the wrong type of sausage arrived in the roll!!! Food was tasty - could do with better customer service

Nice place to sit and chat, while enjoying a cuppa and cake. Have not arrived at lunch time, as of yet and last orders are at 2:45pm. Lovely ladies taking orders and serving. Comfy place to sit and read and take a break.

I stopped off here after a 30 mile bike ride. I went into the cafe and ordered drinks and cake. The atmosphere from the staff was frosty from the start. Once I’d ordered and paid we were told to move our bikes from the side of the cafe and were told to put them in a back yard that contained at least 20 wheelie bins all covered in bird mess. When the drinks arrived I asked if I could add another chair to the two that were already outside on the pavement. You’d think I’d asked for the Crown Jewels and was met with a curt “no” We quickly drank up and rescued our bikes before the rats got to them. Please avoid this place.

How to make you feel totally unwelcome, waiting for card transaction to complete then tells me I can’t leave my bike outside, went promptly went outside and ordered my pal to shift his around the back where we had to park them next to bins covered with in pigeon feaces. Bike packing so set up with all our technical bling, hard to access. Come back to cafe my other mate tells me they wouldn’t allow us a chair from inside as it encroaches the pavement, however happy for their local customer to haphazardly park a mobility scooter half way across it. Just totally off hand. Had I have known would have gladly gone elsewhere. Hope you fold!!

Friendly staff in a popular coffee shop.We opted for the hot drink and bacon roll special which was excellent. Comfortable sofas to sit on if you want a comfy seat.

The place was half empty but we were greeted by a shout of “We’re full” from somewhere in the distance. We walked out and stood outside not sure where else to go, one of the customers waved us back in and pointed out plenty of empty seats but it was “We’re full” again. Obviously we won’t bother going there again, the busy Dunbar garden centre cafe was happy to accommodate us and take our money.

Even if you're desperate, don't bother. My friends and I didn't even stay to order after encountering what can only be described as a rude and ignorant member of staff. Just awful, avoid this place.

Excellent home made scones, served by very friendly staff. reasonable prices,very clean establishment.

My daughter wanted to treat me to tea and cake and it seemed like this was the only cafe open in the centre of Dunbar on a Monday . A sign on the door did state that the cafe closed at 3pm ( seems very early to me , they could do a trade in afternoon teas until later than that ? ) and also mentioned that last orders are at 2.45pm . We popped in and were very abruptly told that there was no food , only drinks and cakes . That was ok for us so we sat down at an empty table and went to the counter to place the order ( although it is not obvious that’s what you’re meant to do ) Some who came in just after us , were told very abruptly they’d have to have takeaway . One party declined and walked out , the other 2 customers were made to wait outside in the cold for their takeaway teas . One was an elderly lady , surely to goodness they could have been seated ! Very unwelcoming and off putting for visitors to Dunbar

Just visited the cafe, was told when we entered they were full. A gentlemen kindly leaned over and said "I'm just leaving" so we waited for his table. As soon as we sat down we were told to leave the pram outside. "we don't allow prams in here" First of all, I've been in hospitality for over 20 years. Owning and running restaurants. Customer service is paramount to a successful business. Shouting across a counter to potential customers is very bad practice. The cafe itself was very quite with no reserve signs on tables. So I'm fascinated by their response and I'll manner. For a lovely small seaside town with surprisingly not many cafes, I'd highly suggest you spend time learning how to both approach customers and with manners. Certainly won't be back. Far nicer places to go.

The staff in this coffee shop gave us an awful reception to the point that we cancelled our order and left. We were told we couldn’t add an extra chair to our table even though It wasn’t In use and to squeeze onto the sofa. We were told there was no Soup and no apology. It was clear we were not welcome from staff’s body langage and manner. We didn’t understand this as it wasn’t even very busy. Very disappointing because we had read great things about it on Tripadvisor however it sounds very similar to the experience of the person who Wrote the most recent review. We then went to umbertos and the kindness and welcome was wonderful from all staff particularly from Daniela. We absolutely loved it.

Visited Dunbar today to walk my baby and fancied a bit lunch, popped in here (when I say popped I mean I got my head in the door) as the woman behind the counter shouted 'we don't allow buggies in here'. I'd appreciate this comment if space was tight etc however there was not another sole in the cafe! Not one!! Guaranteed I will not step foot in this place again, absolutely disgusting behaviour from staff.

Everything was tasty, service friendly, decor dates with cobwebs visible. Strange toilet arrangement which involved leaving the cafe and entering the neighboring close to access a lockable toilet. We all left with full tummies and satisfied after a family lunch

Had a great cooked breakfast and coffee at this cafe. Was fantastic and friendly service too! Nothing to fault with this place.

After two hours walking around John Muir Country Park we were hoping to find coffee and toasties to sustain us. It was only 14:30, yet when we ordered food we were told it was only cakes as the kitchen was closed. There was a somewhat triumphant tone from the lady that served me which I read as rudeness. A helpful sign reminded visitors that it was "last orders 15 minutes before closing'. Still, we were looking forward to coffee which sadly was lukewarm and rather lacking in taste being mostly frothy milk. Very poor value as three coffees came to £7.40. Apparently, most cafes appear to close at 15:00 in Winter and Dunbar didn't redeem its bleak character and we headed back to Edinburgh on the nearby A1.

Came here for lunch today. Lovely ladies in charge, tasty food and drink.Felt very welcome,cosy little cafe.

Nice coffee stop here, reasonable prices, food served quickly and freshly made. Overall a good short.

Having not been in here for years because they hate children and reduced one of my friends to tears when she went in with her boys (desmazures83 is spot on with her review!), we reluctantly went in this morning because our favourite coffee shop was...

After placing order were told cash only as the machine was broken, would have been better to inform us before placing order as a result only had coffee which took a while to arrive and was not good tasted like instant from a jar, also...

Popped in for coffee on road trip. Cheese scones delicious and very reasonably priced. Very good Covid protocols. Ppl just need to remember that home nations all have different regulations. Scotland is stricter than Billy Bunter land where I live.

Food (panini s) was great (other than a stray piece of cling film on my plate) when it arrived, but it took at least 30 minutes to arrive. The table behind us arrived about 10 minutes after us and got their food 10 minutes before...

Arrived in the tearoom with no greeting, sat at a table not knowing the set up ie table service or do we move to the counter Sat for about 10 mins eventually woman said menus on the middle table order at the counter, not sure...

Partner and I visited and sat outside in the peaceful outdoor area. Had lovely vegan avacado and sundried tomato toasties, great coffees, and shared a delicious vegan brownie. Great pricing and facilities.

We had some time to kill in Dunbar a couple of days ago and were delighted to find a comfortable sofa to have a coffee on. My husband placed the order for coffee and a shared cake and it arrived very soon after. Delicious. The...

Not a great experience! We have two little boys - 2 and 4. We are staying locally this week and when it started to rain this morning we came into the cafe for a hot drink and cake. Unfortunately no one served us, we waited...

Have used this twice as a stop over on way back from Northumberland. Very tasty and good value rolls. Staff pleasant and helpful. You can easily walk down to the harbour and castle after.

Lovely wee place with friendly staff and a great choice of cakes. Enjoyed the seating and space with really comfy couches.

Stopped here a couple of times whilst we were in Dunbar recently. They have a couple of outside tables and we have a dog, so great to be able to sit outside. We had various coffees, cakes, toastier, jacket potatoes etc. The food and drinks...

Potato and leek soup was piping hot and absolutely lovely. Paninis were generously filled and delicious. The breakfast roll was stuffed with black pudding. My only gripe; the roll and soup package offered on the menu was refused. £1 extra to add soup to the...

Popped in here for a quick bite. Bacon rolls and tea 4 2. Excellent service and reasonable price. No complaints from us.

On a photo trip to Dunbar and nearby areas stopped for light lunch in 1650. Attracted by the flat it looked posher than others and advertised home cooking. We were not disappointed we had a wonderful hearty and clearly home made lentil soup along with a wonderful Haag is, cheese and chilli panini excellent. Service was very friendly and quick, clearly locals also love this cafe. They do not do cards so take cash, and toilets seemed to involve a trip out the cafe and round the corner. No big deal lots of toilets nearby. All in all excellent

Cafeteria pequeña pero con encanto. Estuve 11 dias en dunbar y desde el primer dia que entre aqui por casualidad se convirtio en mi cafeteria en dunbar por excelencia. El capuccino estaba absolutamente increible y es enorme. El trato de la camarera que me atendio todos los dias (no recuerdo su nombre por desgracia pero era una chica de pelo corto con gafas) era increible era muy simpatica y siempre dispuesta a ayudarme ya que mi ingles no era del todo bueno. Yo nunca comi aqui pero tenian muchas tartas pasteles y tostadas para ofrecer.

Milkshake was not verry good and coffee nothing special. Unfortunately the staff weren't verry polite, will probably look elsewhere next time

First time we tried to visit was told chef was leaving early so went elsewhere. Next time cafe was busy but there was a table available outside. Despite staff coming out to serve the other outside table no one came near us. Were not offered menus or given time of day. Won’t be trying a third time

We went to this cafe at 2.25 pm yesterday hoping to have a sandwich and drink only to be told that cakes were all they were serving. "The kitchen is closed for lunches". We said we didn't want hot food or a meal, just a sandwich, but received the same reply. "Sorry,the kitchen is closed."It is extraordinary how a cafe can expect to survive anywhere, and especially in a seaside town with holiday makers, if it stops serving savoury/lunch food by 2.30 pm. Unbelievable!

Nice little place and not too dear... Two of us stopped by for a good pot of tea and snacks. Hot, fresh and tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Cakes looked great but we did not succumb. Highly recommend.

This place is great. The food is good. The drinks are nice. I highly recommend this place for everyone.

We popped in here today because it didn’t look pretentious from outside, that’s important to us. All too often cafes can have a set menu with a variety of fancy ingredients, when all you want is something unfussy. Today was that kind of day for us. This place didn’t disappoint. The menu was full of options to choose from, and all tastes were catered for. We had toasties and I loved the side salad too. There was salad, coleslaw, nachos and pasta. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It has a cosy feel, where you can sit at a table or chill out on a sofa. We definitely recommend this place if you’re in Dunbar.

1650 Coffee Shop is a modern coffee shop typical of the genre. Minimalist decor and a mix of seating styles complete the look. In addition to their range of coffees etc they have a nice selection of sandwiches, toasties and wraps as well as hot soup and some very nice cakes.

This is an excellent cafe, clean and well presented albeit on the small side. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, we'd popped in as it was mentioned on the internet that they did gluten free food which my son needs albeit this wasn't clear on the menu. The waitress didn't know herself but made several enquires for us and he ended up with a gluten free ham toastie, our food was fine as well and the place had a good atmosphere.

Had a haggis and cheese panini with soup here, it was lovely, service was friendly and efficient, lovely local feel about it, well worth a visit

On a visit to Dunbar to visit one of it's many attractions we stopped off at this lovely Coffee Shop for a spot of lunch. My friend had a very well filled cheese savoury toastie while I had the tuna crunch melt panini. Both came with a decent portion of salad and tortilla chips.

Had a really nice coffee stop - scones lovely and service very welcoming and helpful. Would visit again

We were told 5 minutes after sitting down that it was coffee and cake only as they had nothing else left. Given that they only sell paninis etc not a good experience.

Dropped in on this coffee shop while visiting Dunbar. Staff were very friendly and the coffee and cake was good, they were closing soon after we arrived but were not rushing us out the door. Nice place.

We were visiting Dunbar for the day. Fancying a coffee we spotted 1650. Very flavoursome coffee and tasty frangipani tarts. Comfortable seats in a clean pleasant environment. We asked staff why was the coffee shop called 1650 and they passed us an information sheet. We were happy customers but made even happier when we got the bill..much cheaper than we'd paid elsewhere for a similar coffee break.

Quite small but very friendly coffee shop. Love the decor, comfy seating,. Staff has smart uniforms, looked very professional. .Coffee very good and there was a choice of gluten free. The Carrot cake was excellent. If you find yourself in Dunbar, seek them out on the High Street. Will definably do a return visit.

dropped in here for a coffee and a cake. a very nice place to relax and have your coffee. no loud music and tasty cakes

excellent cafe with great choice of very tasty food. staff were extremely helpful and service was very efficient

What a great place to have coffee and pastries. The staff was delightful and pastries quite tasty. We arrived in Dunbar by train. Not knowing the town or area it was so nice to enter an establishment that was so friendly to Americans. Truly our experience with Scottish folk in general has been so pleasant. The Scots are so friendly and fun. As Americans we did not know the meaning of the Scottish term Steamer so you can only imagine the looks we got when one of our group ordered a "steamer". Made for a delightful story, lots of laughs and very good memories. Thank you 1650 for making our Dunbar experience so much fun.

Visited recently while on a short break with my husband. Arrived just about 3 o’clock, sat down to decide what to eat. After choosing my husband went to order (now it’s just after 3pm ) only to be told the kitchen closes at 3. This is information that should have been relayed when we entered especially as we went in as I’m a diabetic and needed something to eat. We were told it was only coffee and cake with was available which we ordered as I thought something would be better than nothing. I was wrong lattes weren’t very good and my cake was horrible I could eat it.

This is a gem in Dunbar High Street. Made very welcome. The Victoria sponge is the best I have had for a very long time. Also good that they have soya milk which other cafes don't have here. Reasonable prices too.

Lovely coffee shop on Dunbar High Street with a choice of seating on comfy sofas or traditional cafe style tables. You can 'people watch' from the comfort of the sofas at the front if you're quick enough to bag a seat there. Great choice of cakes and pastries, toasties etc., various coffees and teas, decaf or otherwise, all served by very pleasant staff. Would have given five stars but toilets are only available on request by key, externally at the side of the cafe.

What a superb, welcoming coffee shop. My daughter in law, six month old baby and myself called in on a freezing cold wintry morning and found lovely comfortable leather sofas to settle ourselves and really enjoyed our hot, steaming coffee and tempting sweet treats. Oh,...

We regularly grab a coffee here preferring the blend to that used in other establishments. Whilst no expert we lived for many years in a country with a massive coffee culture and 1650 comes a close second in quality and taste

Me and my mum visited Dunbar on Saturday and ended up going in her for lunch. We chose the bacon Brie and cranberry panini, and the haggis Brie n cranberry panini - and shared them. Both we're delicious ! Came with small salad, some pasta...

This place is a cute little coffee shop. They do a variety of milk, which is good because I'm allergic to dairy so I had a soya hot chocolate and it was so tasty.

Lovely staff, tasty food, tables not too close together, comfy sofas. There's not a lot to dislike about this nice coffee shop. It would be my choice over another one near by. Only downside is, it doesn't take card payments which is a shame but there is a cash point directly across the road. Recommend their food. Not had a bad snack yet. Very tasty and presented well.

Not a huge place but obviously well liked by the locals. Great service and great drinks. Nice to have sofa/soft chair area for relaxing.

Un aspecto amable, acogedor. cafe Buen servicio y pasteles muy sabrosos.

No trasladaron a la zona y este lugar se está convirtiendo en nuestro lugar favorito! Encantador café, pasteles y pastas y comidas precioso bonito todo servido por el personal es servicial y amable.

Llegamos agotados y este café fue recomendado por hombre cortar setos. Pedimos desayuno completo, eligió sentarse fuera comida rápida buen servicio y tenía huevos extra como falta de haggis. También se llena botellas de agua y tenía un bonito limpio y aseo varían. No tienen...

Good food, relaxed and tasty. Food was fresh and coffee was hot. Just what we needed on a rainy day.

We were in Dunbar for the day and spotted the 1650 cafe. It looked very nice with comfortable seats with small tables as well as regular tables. We had Paninis for lunch followed by a delicious cake to go with our very large cup of very good coffee. The food and service very both very good. I would definitely recommend the 1650 coffee shop if you are in town.

Looking forward to holiday treat of a scone with cream and jam. Looked at menu and saw they served this but only within a 2/2.5 hour time slot (sorry can't remember exact times) We were there on a weekday during half term and were 10 minutes into the right time to buy a scone and they said 'sorry we don't have any scones'. I thought this was really slack especially as there is an award winning community bakery a few doors down!! We all had toasties which were lovely. Our son has a nut allergy and we were reassured about their food safety standards as lots of info on the menu about separating nut containing products from nut products. Even so we don't risk buying home bake cakes in establishments like this JUST in case of cross contamination. We ordered the most innocuous thing on the menu for our son, a cheese toastie on white bread. It came with crisps a bit of salad and some pasta (which was a surprise) - my husband spotted that the pasta was in a green sauce and stoped my son from eating it and went to check what was on it. Turns out it was pesto and pesto contains CASHEW nuts the nut that my son is most allergic too (and as common an allergy as peanut). When we said they should really have declared what was going to accompany the toastie on the menu so we could have refused the pasta the woman in charge went very defensive and said we should have declared our allergy at the counter. We explained we didn't think we needed to because we were only ordering a white cheese toasty but she just didn't get it. Afterwards I tried having a word with her and said it was lovely having all those accompaniments with the toasty but really, to protect their own business, they should really declare that the dish is going to come with a nut product. Luckily we were able to remove the crisps that had come into contact with the pesto and it hadn't touched the sandwich itself. She insisted on her line of 'you should have declared the allergy at the counter' and proceeded to take this as an opportunity to tell me about the different types of pasta they serve - clutching at straws I asked if the pesto was homemade as you can make one without nuts, but no it was bought in. I know people reading this who don't have to deal with allergies are probably bored by now but I thought I would mention it. I never got cross and was perfectly calm ( my family had left and I stayed behind to talk to her). It was the attitude that disturbed me - if she'd have said 'I see where you're coming from, yes we shall make this clear from now on' then that would have been great. BUT I know these places have to adhere to strict laws and I honestly think I flagged up a huge flaw in their procedures and she should have acknowledged that. Anyway, I was already disappointed that they were missing such a basic part of their menu when were only just supposed to have started serving them (the scones) and this just cemented my resolve not to return (and the toilet location too to be honest) For the rest of the holiday I took my business to Graze over the road which served fantastic food ( and scones) with a smile, in a more cheerful environment!

My Female companion, and I, arrived in Dunbar at around 14:10, and after parking, crossed the street to the cheery looking, and busy, "1650 Coffee Shop". Initially, we went in, quite cheeky really, to ask to use their "facilities", as I was in desperation! The kind lady behind the counter, freely handed me the key to the Men's, located outside and around the corner of their premises. It was very clean (spotless actually) and we both made use, returning the key, and heading out to explore Dunbar High Street. After passing by virtually every Cafe, Restaurant and Coffee Shop, along the full length, and both sides of the Main Street, we ended-up right back at the "1650", which now looked most promising. There is a variety of seating arrangements available, from comfy Leather Sofas, to standard 4 seat tables. You place your order at the counter, and your food is then delivered. The Menu is pretty extensive, and the Display case of Cakes and other baked delicacies, invites you to splurge, leaving any dietary resolutions in the dust! The pieces on offer were EXTREMELY GENEROUS in size, and the choices, all obviously freshly made, were plentiful! Their main focus, looking at the large selection on offer in the menu, appeared to be Toasties, Wraps, and Panninis. They offer numerous varieties of these, which go for £5.95, but add £1.00 to that, and they will give you the "Soup of the Day"! So I had the Ham Melt Pannini, and Vegetable Soup combo. My companion, had the Baked Potato with Tuna Mayonnaise. Drinks were a Diet Irn Bru and a "Single Pot of Tea". Both dishes came with a side Salad the included Cucumber, Cherry Tomatoes, and a couple of Tablespoons of Elbow Macaroni in Sweet Chili dressing. There was also a handful of Tortilla Chips on the plate. My Pannini was served piping hot, with melting Cheese oozing out of the side, with some Mustard adding a great contrast to the Sandwich. The Vegetable Soup, was okay, but had a flavour-note I could not quite recognise. I opined that it might be Cumin, or some other Herb/Spice. It was thick, like it had been blitzed with a hand-blender. I finished by asking for a small additional portion of the Macaroni Salad, which was provided to me, no hesitation. I unfortunately don't know if I was charged for this, as I never checked the receipt, but would have expected to be charged, but pleasantly surprised if not. Either way, I ordered a Medium Mocha, to go, for our drive back to Glasgow, and the total bill was £18.70. I left a 15% Tip, as they were so accommodating, when we asked to use their Restrooms, and we're not Patrons at that point, plus the general cheeriness throughout our meal. A very, very nice spot for Lunch, or a cuppa and some Cake, after walking the friendly streets of Dunbar. It's a bright, upbeat little gem, very welcoming and comfy!

Visited Dunbar for the day and came across this gem of a coffee shop on the Main Street. Extremely clean and very welcoming. I had a latte and I must say this is the first one I've ever had that has actually been HOT! The bacon panini, which came with side salad and crisps, was first class and again HOT. My husband had a cheese and ham toastie which was also delicious. The staff were very friendly too. The only negative thing was that the toilet was outside, down a lane. Okay on a dry day but not great if it had been raining but the toilet was very clean and even had hand cream and hair spray in it. You have to get the key for this from the staff. I would certainly recommend this for a 'pit stop' when in Dunbar.

We had an egg mayo sandwich, and a pizza melt (toastie). To drink we had a tea and a chocolate milkshake. Sandwich was nice, however both came with a pile of crisps and hardly any salad. There was also a teaspoon of pasta, which was really nice. The pizza melt wasn't nice. On the menu it said it had cheese and mozzarella. It actually had only rubbery cheese. There was also a big slice of tomato with a few 'herbs' on. It tasted awful. The place is really nicely decorated. It felt really uncomfortable, as there was also a few other people and they were talking and shouting. The toilet isn't even nearby!!! You have to get a key, go round the back and unlock a tiny, cramped toilet. There was a basket of the staff's own things. You could easily get lost on the way. I won't go back here again, as food wasn't very nice and was expensive.

Called in with baby in tow. Plenty of help from staff.Lovely service and an amazing range of tiffin including one with Scottish tablet on the top!! Mine was delicious and good coffee.Friendly and clearly popular with its regulars - rightly so !!

To the Lorraine S review . My husband and son and I were in the café that morning and because of the behaviour of the child . I'm not surprised at the owner's reaction the child was uncontrollable . There is a notice on the wall to adhere to this . Infact she was polite and very tactful . Great café we go regular for the amazing hot chocolate

On a bitterly cold day 1650 was a real oasis of warmth and conviviality. Service was swift and lunch was very tasty. I could have sat all day watching the world go by from the large picture windows. The decor is inspiring with a lovely vintage vibe, pretty painted display cabinets and lots of home made specialities. Great 'pick me up' on a freezing cold day.

Awful experience in this cafe, made to feel very unwelcome with my small child, owner rude, place cold and coffee mediocre. Baking however was rather tasty but I will not be visiting again .

Popped in after short 2 day stay at the Broxmouth Lodge with my wife 1950 coffee shop was Great service, great selection of coffees etc reasonably priced

Passing through Dunbar we saw an empty parking space so stopped and had a wee wander. Keeking in the window and liking the quaint look inside we went in for coffees however I finished up by having a bowl of delicious soup whilst my wife had coffee and a scone with a small pot of raspberry jam. This was brought to our table by a friendly young staff member. Absolutely delightful, memorable and so pleased we saw that empty parking space!

Really great tasting coffee and delicious home baking (scones and traybakes) and friendly, efficient service.

Visited here on a visit to Dunbar. Good value meals Obviously a hubb for the locals very nice good light snacks and drinks.

Stopped off here when I was wondering through town with my girlfriend and daughter of 3. We had a few cakes a coffee and a pot of tea. They even gave my 3 year old a little tea cup which she absolutely loved! The staff were great even showing us a map to go to a good park near by! Lovely place!

Passing past on hot day with tables outside this was ideal as we have a dog. Went inside very homely order 2 coffees and the waitress was really nice smiling and helpful.itvwas £4 so well priced the cakes looked really nice but was having lunch in hour so resisted

Great coffee and friendly service. Tastiest coffee around. Wish I'd had one of the superb looking cakes !

Lovely people friendly great cakes and coffee made the way I like it .prompt service very reasonable prices

We loved this place, had breakfast here three times, absolutely loved it. Lovely food and excellent service.Stayed in Belhaven, it's well worth a visit.

Dropped into this Coffee shop on a chance and had a lovely cosy cup of coffee and cake, the atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly.

The staff are very friendly, and the food was great value for money. We had the breakfast here and could not have been more pleased with the service, the taste and the quantity of food. 5 stars

Lovely staff. Quirky decor. Very comfy sofas....could have fallen asleep. "Outdoor" toilet was a little off putting, nearly didn't bother going, but actually it's very clean and not as awful as it first sounded. Coffee was really good and nice strong tea. Scones, toasted teacake all delicious. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

I would highly recommend this lovely coffee shop/bistro. Good old fashioned customer services with lovely staff. We had a lovely day thanks to recommended places to visit too!!! Prices are really good too

The cafe has a double front and by looking in it looked inviting. The settees seem to attract the people. By the time we got in the settees were roped off - not that I wanted to sit on one. At my age arms on chairs help me to get up. At the counter the young lady was very helpful in taking our order. Nice tasting coffee.

i am sorry to say that the Victoria afternoon tea was not up to the standard that i was lead to believe from the other reviewers.the sandwich had margarine not butter and tasteless ham, the scone was strange just plain not sweet, and with Irish butter and french jam, sorry but there is a dairy just up the road and Scotland has its own summer berries, should we not start using local. and on a afternoon tea you usually get cream, or at least milk with the coffee. tray bakes i am sorry just tasted store bought, i dont like complaining but i do think you should raise your standards as there are other places in Dunbar that offer better

A great little cafe fo a coffee< home baking< soup and a lovely light lunch< service with a smile< mary

Ate here twice during our week's holiday in the area.Great food, very good coffee - once you work out how to use the cafetiere! I'm just a bloke and it was a bit beyond me to begin with. Sorry!All in all, a very welcoming, comfortable place for lunch or just a coffee. Oh, and the apricot and frangipane tart was one of the nicest pastries I have ever eaten! We will certainly return if we are ever in the area again!

I had lunch here today and the food and coffee were great. I had the bacon and cheese melt which was delicious. It came served with some salad, coleslaw and tortilla crisps. The latte was lovely and piping hot which is a rarity I find these days. The service was excellent. I will be back.

Stopped here on Holidays. Group of 7. Fantastic all round. Children's menu - comes with a chalk board which is a nice.touch to keep them busy. Chessboard was a nice plate, so was the soup and panini. Everything ordered got the thumbs up. Desserts were great too. Service was attentive but not intrusive - nice comfy sofa as well. Pricing was about right for the quality. food clearly made with thought. Will be back.

Stopped for lunch and then revisited later in the afternoon for coffee and cake. Clean, cafe, cosy atmosphere, welcoming and friendly staff serving tasty food added up to a very enjoyable lunch and afternoon tea. Thoroughly recommend.It's worth noting though that only cash is accepted, especially if like us you rely heavily on credit cards.

Enjoyed a lovely cappuccino here with my wife. Great service, reasonable prices and a good selection of cakes too. Also meals/sandwiches etc available too

Busy little tea room offering cakes, hand made chocolates, soups, standard /scottish fareserved by nicely presented ladies. Tea in teapots, cups and saucers, and jolly atmosphere.

We popped in for a coffee and cake while wandering round Dunbar. We were made very welcome by the staff (at the end of their day), and settled into the very comfy lounge chairs. Our cappuccino's and cakes arrived very quickly. The homemade cakes were delicious and the coffee really tasty. The shop also does more substantial food but we were too full after lunch elsewhere. Highly recommended.

this coffee shop is worth a visit ,,,had tea and scones ,delicious .tea served in a pot and in proper china cups. staff very helpful brought to your table on a tray .atmosphere very friendly even customers already in there gave us a friendly greeting when we went in .all in all thoroughly enjoyable .

Best coffee in the south of Scotland easily. Staff are great and extremely helpful. We go there about three times a week and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Top quality coffee and scones in comfortable and welcoming establishment. Ideal stop on a cold winters day.

1650 is another great coffee shop in Dunbar with very friendly staff, good coffee and snacks and it's open a bit later in the afternoon than the rest, definitely worth a visit
