Not a big place, but lovely choice of genuine homemade soups and bakes. Toasties made to order, also paninis. We'll worth a visit.

This cafe is my first choice for coffee or lunch when in Penicuik. The soup and toasties are excellent and the home baking delicious.

Have eaten here on many occasions recently. Home made soups, scones and bakes. Very, very good. Worth seeking out.

For many years I have used a little café in my corner of France as the bench mark for all “plat du jour”. Now I have found my bench mark in Scotland; the Gallery Café Penicuik. But I’d rather you not spread the word because I love this place. OK, there aren’t that many tables, the room echoes a bit, there is a certain feel of an old fashioned “tea room” but Jenni and her team at this “Community Arts Café” make and bake some fantastic things. We’ve eaten outstanding home-made soups, punching great flavour, thick and comforting. There is a good depth to the mushroom soup and the red pepper & tomato soup is possibly the best we’ve tasted. The toasties {all cheese based} are simple but extremely “moreish”. The homemade “Oaties” are not delicate but dense and chewy with a lovely layer of butter cream in the middle that adds a zing that bounces around the mouth. The customers eat with smiles on their faces whilst mumbling approving words. Everyone leaves their tables content with the world. Value for money; well I’m not sure how they can be so competitive. Large bowl of soup and a scone for only £3.50. Buy a bag of 3 scones from the freezer for only 50p. Cakes will set you back a massive £1.30. Come on, get real. This is a fabulous place; the bench mark for all of Scotland. Food: 8/10 Coffee: 6/10 Value for Money: 10/10 Service: 9/10

This is a pleasant place to visit with lovely, friendly staff. Lovely soup & cakes, too. There is a small gallery within the cafe area and a lovely little gift shop upstairs.....It's not always open though, so best to ask about it.

On Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

80 Main StreetWent for a pint on Saturday evening with my son and it had a singer on. It's one of the oldest Gothenburg style pubs in Europe. When the local colliery was open the miners would frequent this pub. Anyway pub was very busy with regulars. We had a meal in the Lamp room which was tasty and really well priced. The singer was pretty good as we had a job finding a seat. But the best bit is the price of a pint of lager at £4 and 2 Kraken and coke at £7.90. Brilliant that's value. Definitely come back.

4 Main StreetBeen here a few time and really can’t fault it. Although went tonight and had the Beef Short Rib, the taste was really good but the short rib was about 70% fat, now that’s no fault of the chef as such more the supplier… when the waiter asked how it was I explained to him and he said he would pass that onto the chef… we then heard nothing back, so that was the only downside. A gesture of goodwill would have been nice… Now that said it won’t stop me from returning. I must admit the staff are all fantastic and very polite.
