Goose on the Green in East Lothian

Came across this little cafe while stopping after a work meeting and so glad we did! Such great value for a large roll with filling of choice and was enchanted to be served tea in a real China teacup and saucer! Friendly service too thank you will definitely return when in the area!

Parked at Longniddry beach car park and walked into Gullane via Aberlady Nature Reserve and the beach so lunch was an absolute necessity! Goose on Green proved a perfect place to regenerate! Loved the mushroom soup and cheese scone both delicious followed by cream scone. Greed not need! This was perfect fuel before the lovely return walk back to Longniddry.

Smashing breakfast. Well-cooked bacon and bacon/egg morning rolls, and generous pot of tea/mug of coffee. Dee-lish-us. Heartily recommended. Got some takeaway baking, too, but still to sample that....

What a gem of a place! Great service from start to finish. The breakfast rolls were fantastic. Best bacon roll I've had to date (and I've eaten a few!). Will be back very soon.

Fantastic place for a late breakfast or lunch. Great staff and location. Dined here several times while staying in Gullane. Will not disappoint.

This is obviously a popular local spot and deservedly so. The atmosphere was buzzy and homely and the staff were very welcoming. The food was absolutely spot on and real value for money. I had the full Scottish, which was well cooked and a very generous portion of the usual favourites. Pot of real tea which poured to a decent strength right away, showing they don't scrimp on some cheap bag that you have to beat the life out of to get a decent cuppa. As for the selection of cakes, it verged on the criminal. I felt guilty eating one after the brekkie but they looked just too tempting to resist. Struggled to choose between a delicious looking lemon cheesecake and the outsized scones. So, more tea and opted for the latter which proved a very satisfactory choice. The day was topped with a drive back to Edinburgh via the lovely East Lothian back roads, even through the March drizzle. Thoroughly recommended as a specific destination if you're on a wee morning out.

Nice to see you open today. I got a really nice coffee. But I am concered and wonder why your staff do not wear masks. I am sure you do not want to get infected or pass coronavirus on to your customders. Think about this: your staff meet many customers and are therefore more likely to catch Corvid and more likely to pass it on to your customers. Your coffee was so nice I thought I would come back later for another. I didn't because I did not want to risk getting Covid again. Please think of your customers and wear a mask.

Lovely light lunch, big windows to watch golfers in daft clothes go by. Superfriendly staff. They allow dogs

Decent cafe. Nice coffee, lovely breakfast rolls and excellent cakes. Staff are lovely also. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Can’t rate the food (which looked delicious) because I ended up having to ask for a refund so can only tell of my experience at the counter. Ordered 3 breakfast rolls and after a 15 min wait I asked how long and almost immediately my order was handed to me, after checking my order I informed the person behind the counter that my order was wrong, they questioned wether I was mistaken but eventually after I told them my order they took it back into the kitchen and then reappeared 5 mins later with what I had ordered, upon checking the order again, the food was cold and it appeared that they had just scraped the food out the roll that I didn’t want as there were bits still in the roll and again was cold. After informing the same person again I asked for a refund which was met with a scowl and a ‘sorry’ while putting the money in my hand. Very poor customer service.

Simply the best coffee no matter which of the staff make it.... scones and cakes are fantastic. We love it as we can bring our little Maltese in

My travels have taken me all over the world and after a while places to sit and drink coffee and have a snack all blur into much of a similar pattern, bought in cakes pre-made sandwiches and so-so coffee. Which I fully appreciate busy place have to do. Goose on the Green has a wonderfully authentic feel where you can just tell the owner really really cares about the customer expereince. Always a smile, the coffee is fine, but the cakes are as good as I have found anywhere, tradition cakes with exceptional baking. The average portion would feed a family of four. The brownie and Salted Caramel cake should be available through the NHS as their ability to lift ones spirits are quite magical.

Great coffee shop! The homemade quiche was a real treat. No idea how they made it so light and fluffy. Scrumptious. The lemon polenta cake was ok but a bit oily. House selection of delicious homemade cakes. They all looked great and I think I just chose the wrong one. Would definitely return.

We recently visited for a cuppa and slice and cake and were very impressed! Very welcoming upon entering and a great selection of cakes greeted you at the counter! The girls were friendly and welcoming.We choose a slice of carrot cake and chocolate fudge and then sat down to go with our coffee.The coffees were served in proper china cups which at this time makes a change from most coffee shops which are choosing to use paper cups! Very impressed! The cakes were simply delicious and will be returning to try more next time am in the area! Thank you.Certainly the best coffee and cake shop in the area in my opinion.

Great coffee and addictive haggis and egg rolls to kick-start the day - amazing! Cakes also look mouth watering for later in the day.

We love this little place - and can't wait for it to re-open fully! Today we had steak baguette's with chips and they were great. Lovely baguette. The take away burger I had a couple weeks ago was amazing too. But what we're really looking forward to is getting back to sit in with the dog for a big breakfast. THE CAKES!!!!! Enough said on that one!

Massive cakes and brownies, so nice! Really good service as well, especially Ellie and Abbey 🙂 would recommend

Stopped off here after a brisk and refreshing walk along the beach at Gullane Bents. A delicious selection of home made plates including sandwiches, soups, quiche and cakes. Service was quick and food was excellent.

This is a relatively new coffee shop and place for light meals. Staff always attentive and I like the bacon rolls ! They also do a wide selection of snacks.

Really nice cafe. Between us we had a delicious Scottish breakfast, a fruit scone and a gluten free chocolate brownie all of which was delicious. Really nice and clean with welcoming staff. Would recommend.

Simply no better place for New Year's Eve lunch, or any other day for that matter. Even when the place is madly busy with a queue out the door, efficient, courteous service is provided with a smile and the food quality is second to none. My wife had the tastiest ever quiche lorraine, the flat whites were nutty and more-ish and the victoria sponge was exquisite. Very highly recommended.

A super all day breakfast served fresh and hot. Highly recommend with Ace coffee too. Super service.

Goose on the Green is the one. Since I first met Julie (the owner) I knew this was the place for me. The scons are delicious and their full english (Scottish style) makes you feel like you are at home. The great food paired with the lovely atmosphere makes for a holiday feeling and I can't wait to come back. Perfect place to collect your energy before hiking out into the beautiful surrounding nature. Thank you for having me.<3

Gorgeous cafe with a good selection of home bakes. Nice range from sandwiches to home made soup . I had the roasted pepper soup which was very nice. Cake cabinet was very tempting but not on this visit. will definitely be back for another visit to sample the cakes

What a beautiful place this is and feel Blessed it’s close by us. They cater for gluten free which is fantastic and there is plenty choice. The food here is fantastic and it will not disappoint that’s for sure. The staff are so nice and friendly which always is a must. The place is spotless so with all that said there’s no reason not to drop in. If you’ve not already been, what you waiting for?!! Enjoy

Excellent customer service, nice and friendly. Food was really good, big size portion and tight price for it. Definitely recommended

What a find on our recent visits to Gullane. We went three times whilst on holiday nearby. Dog friendly. We were made to feel very welcome. The food is superb. The staff are all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Unfortunately on our last visit our golden retriever puppy Bella became ill after drinking a lot of salt water on the beach so we had to make a hasty departure. The staff were so concerned and looked up details of a nearby vet. Fortunately Bella recovered after treatment from the Vet in Macmerry. I would certainly recommend this cafe. It seemed to be used by local residents which is always a good sign. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area. The scones are amazing.

Awesome food, really friendly and caring staff, very dog friendly, nothing is too much trouble. And too top it off brilliant cakes. very vegetarian friendly too

We have visited this wonderful cafe several times this year, and it always pleases. Delicious home baked cakes & breads. We ate breakfast here this time and it was perfect. Made sure we took a couple of cakes away with us for later. Best cheese scones ( really cheesy), and lovely, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Goose on the Green was very busy with customers having Sunday brunch, (always a good sign if the place is full). The service was still quick and efficient, even though it was operating at maximum capacity.

Great coffee and cakes, with a bustling but relaxed atmosphere. My partner had the homemade scones and jam - which was delicious! Their breakfast also looked great.

Apparently this has replaced a very nice bakery. Well, we needed a hearty breakfast to keep us all going until a 4.30pm wedding meal and this place did a fabulous job. Eight of us descended on them on a sunny Bank Holiday Saturday and we had superb food and drinks, and brilliant, attentive service. The eggs royale were as good as any I have ever had, and I’ve had plenty! The coffee was delicious, and perfectly piping hot so I could enjoy lingering with it.The Scottish breakfast was truly hearty and well-satisfied the hungry chaps so anywhere that prevents the “grumpy hungry boy syndrome” is worth five stars to me! We’ll definitely return next time we’re North of the Border.

We (granddaughter, daughter-in-law and I) often visit here for lunch and it is always very good. Lovely staff, best quiche Lorraine - served with fresh slaw and salad - and if the granddaughter would like an egg roll she can have one. No fuss. Delicious cakes (chocolate tart!!!) and scones.

We popped in for a particularly fresh and delicious scone this afternoon... everything about this cafe is lovely; great service, delicious food, great location and relaxed atmosphere.

Nice food. Good service. Overall a rather spiffing trip. Had a quiche which was rather pleasing. Afterward me and the rest of my party made a B-line for the expansive collection of Gâteau. And Huzzah they were simply delightful. Cheerio

This is without doubt the friendliest cafe in East Lothian it also has the best baking ever from Scones to home made cakes including the amazing Ginger & Lime cake if you have not tried it you must it is fab.The owner and staff are always ready to greet you with a smile and make you feel special.It is our favourite place and we visit at least twice a week we always leave having enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.Well done to everyone.

Warm welcome, great coffee and huge brownie (other cakes looked just as large), happy to recommend and will certainly return.

Ottima sosta con buonissima torta e delizioso the, in un bar veramente piacevole, curato e pulito ! Ottimo servizio !!

After a particularly unpleasant experience we retreated here for breakfast and the food more than compensated for our unexpected predicament.

I'm lucky enough to have moved across the road from this great wee place. The coffee is great, the staff are lovely and the food is delicious, especially the cakes!

Nearly always end my dog walk on Gullane beach with Eggs Benedict and a coffee. Food is excellent and staff very friendly and major plus is Paddy can come as well!

We came for my son’s birthday breakfast. Amazing granola and berries and yoghurt and the bacon rolls were proper! Lovely food, lovely place, lovely staff!

We travel to Gullane every year for golf and our favorite restaurant for lunch is the Goose on the Green. They are also my favorite restaurant for scones, hot chocolate and treats. The food is exquisite. The salmon quiche is light tasty and full of salmon. The scones are incredible (I have tasted many scones throughout Scotland and these are my favorite.

At the Scottish open, I eat here for 3 days, great quality cooking, lovely people, in the afternoon home made cakes to die for.

My friend and I were out for a day trip and stopped off in Gullane. We spotted this little gem, and managed to grab the last two seats. As soon as our food arrived we could see why Goose on the Green was full! I ordered the jacket potato with cheese and it arrived with butter just oozing and cheese ready to melt into a gorgeous gooey yummy feast. The accompanying salad was varied, fresh and delicious. My friend said that her Salmon quiche was the best she has ever tasted. We will certainly be returning!

The Mrs. and I stopped here one morning and were absolutely captivated by the freshly baked scones and other pastries. The owner was on vacation but her parents were helping out and we’re wonderfully charming and hospitable. My very “proper English sausage” breakfast roll was delicious too. This terrific place added to an already excellent trip and we would love to return sometime soon!

Stopped here for lunch. Freshly made to order good quality food. Excellent value. Dog friendly which is a major plus. Very friendly helpful staff. Thank you.

Stopped as it was on the way back to where we were staying. Good coffee, great cake! Looks like the main meals were popular as well. Didn’t try them but service was good, reasonable value & a decent selection of food. If I was here again, I’d certainly consider it

Visited yesterday for coffee and cake. First class service great coffee and the best Victoria Sponge Cake I’ve ever had and great value for money. Will definitely return

Food tasty and lovely coffee, would prefer if scones and jammy cakes were covered; it was warm and flies around, put me off a bit.

I went to Goose on the Green this morning for brunch with my elderly mother and partner. When we arrived no one greeted us and so we took a seat at a table. The young waitress walked over and throw three menus on the table without speaking to us. Unfortunately this is not the first time that we have experienced poor service from this particular girl and after reading over reviews it would appear this is a common issue. A nice cafe, with good food, let down by an extremely disinterested waitress incapable of providing good customer service.

As visitors to Gullane and not golfers we wanted a nice stop to enjoy a coffee break.What a pleasure to find this cafe.

This is a spacious, bright corner cafe. 14 of us arrived and were served fairly quickly even though the cafe was busy.

Very clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Tables are not cramped. Excellent cup of coffee and all day breakfast.

Spent the day in Gullane and visited the Goose following a blustery walk on the glorious beach. Had not been since a change of ownership and was very impressed. The cafe looked fantastic, the choice of home made cakes was superb and most importantly the staff were extremely welcoming despite eight of us and 2 dogs descending on them 15 minutes before closing time. They were so friendly and obliging. We will be delighted to return on our next visit to East Lothian.

Been here a few times now,,premises/atmosphere lovely, menu excellent and our food was very enjoyable,and would def recommend a visit.The only reason for a 4 star is that the staff were not over friendly. The young girl was very "sullen" and obviously did not want to "be there". When clearing the table (which took quite a while) I thought that we would be asked if everything had been enjoyable and if not then, maybe when we paid.....but no, it did not happen. Would go back again but these points maybe something for owner to take note,especially when they have a board asking for Trip Advisor Reviews!

This is one of those places where you think...’If I lived here, I’d be a regular.’

We had coffee and seeded carrot cake. Delicious. Lovely airy restaurant. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Was recommended this place by a local and so pleased we went. Friendly staff, fab food in a relaxing environment. Think I let out an audible "yum" on a piece of pecan pie! If you're in the area pay a visit. ;)

I arrived just before closing time on a Saturday evening and was made very welcome and served very promptly with a very refreshing cup of tea and a delicious freshly baked scone with home-made jam. The cafe is freshly and tastefully decorated. The bill was very modest for the standard of service provided and excellence of the scone!

Popped in to buy bread, met a friend and joined her for coffee and a scone. Very friendly, welcoming, good atmosphere, not rushed. I'll be back!

Great food and good value... café of choice, might also try their pop-up restaurant night menu sometime soon...

We thought that a trip to Gullane beach for a wee walk would be a great way to spend Easter. It was scorching hot, ( for Scotland) and we caught a glimpse of the Goose on the Green as we looked for a parking space. We 're river a very warm and friendly welcome from the team there who had us seated with menus very quickly but without rushing us which was a refreshing change to some places we have been recently. The menu was simple but good and the prices were reasonable. We had soup and a sandwich which were delicious and filling. Water was supplied without delay on request which was great. It was a very comfortable and easy going place to be. The atmosphere was just right. I'll be going back.

The reason we first visited Goose on the Green was it was dog friendly but now we have more reason to visit.... The warm scones, muffins, delicious cakes and great tasting latte’s.. very friendly staff and good atmosphere

Simple but delicious menu, friendly service, excellent coffee, I am a regular! I come for brunch on Friday mornings and plan to come back to sample the cakes as well as soon as I can.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly efficient staff & delicious food. Staff were happy to substitute food items on the full Scottish breakfast e.g. black pudding for mushrooms etc. Great for coffee and cakes too - I'm gluten and dairy free and all dietary requirements are met in this lovely café.

What a find, lovely staff and lovely freshly made food....we will be back. We had soup and a sandwich on home made bread.

Whenever I am near the area, this place is a must visit. This spot is now my favourite in East Lothian. The interior is very well done and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The staff are excellent and the food is delightful and of really good quality. I cannot stress the positives of this place enough, you won't be disappointed when you pop in!

Friendly efficient service & delicious food. The homemade mushroom soup was a highlight for me. Huge portions but happy to box up any leftovers to take home.

Very warm welcome (even for our dog). Coffee was good and pecan pie excellent. Free wi-fi. Like to return to sample lunch. it's licensed and serves beer and wine.

What better reward after a bracing walk on Gullane beach with our lively labradoodle than a full Scottish breakfast in this fantastic cafe.

Sunny, bright and airy venue, with wide choice of breakfast options (if you read the boards, not the main menu). We had 3 different breakfasts and the were all great. With coffees it was £29. Will definitely come again. Ps. Cakes look great

I had the good fortune to stumble across this little gem and was so impressed by the warm atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Gullane is a golfing community, not really known for its progressive take on food but this lovely cafe has changed that. The owner took time to chat and told me that they had opened last year with the aim of bringing healthier food to the area. The eggs benedict was superb and their homemade cakes and absolute winner. They bake their own sourdough bread which was some of the best I have ever had. Sitting by the roaring fire I knew I had found a place that I would return to whenever I pass through.

Had an excellent lunch here - really delicious lentil soup with sandwich combo. I had roasted pepper & hummus sandwich - my husband had smoked salmon & cream cheese. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Service very quick and staff really friendly. Cafe had a really nice ambiance.

A brilliant range of options to eat and drink, everything we tried was delicious, service was kindly and completely delightful - generally a lovely place to stop and warm up. Nothing was too much trouble (including ordering a second round after the first was so lovely) and the home-made jams are out of this world. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Very cosy and relaxed café .We had a large bowl of soup and avocado with bacon on sourdough toast followed by a warm scone with butter and jam. All made with quality ingredients and the best scone we have ever had.

A totally brilliant wee place, very simply the loveliest of staff, the tastiest food and spotlessly clean!!!!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Daughter ( who is difficult to please when it comes to food ) considered everything excellent. We will definitely be back.

Best scones we’ve ever had, choice of cakes fantastic and very different, all day breakfast fantastic value, all served by very friendly staff. As it is dog friendly, it is a regular port of call for us. Highly recommended

Me and a few of my friends visited the cafe at the weekend, albeit very busy the food was excellent and staff were trying very hard to keep everyone happy! Soup was tasty, as was the cake. Will be returning :)

This is a bright, airy cafe with pleasant staff. I popped in for morning coffee and a fried egg roll which was good. They do takeaways too, so I took home a fruit scone which was delicious. Really nice place and I’d recommend for a light bite when passing.

Popped in for lunch. Spicy butternut Squash soup with gluten free toast was delicious as was my extra hot latte and gluten free raspberry and lemon loaf. The cafe is bright and airy and spotless. Staff friendly and welcoming. Lovely cosy atmosphere on a chilly sunny day.

We visit this cafe regularly with out little schnauzer and are made very welcome. The home made scones with raspberry jam are delicious. The staff are lovely and it’s very clean. They now have a wonderful log fire during the chilly months. Well worth a visit.....also lovely coffee ☕️

Very pleasant small cafe. Good choice of drinks and food for lunch. Can recommend the scones!! Excellent very pleasant staff.

During our visit to Gullane we enjoyed several visits to the Goose on the Green. Loved every visit. Scones and chocolate tart were exquisite. Soup was delicious. And the staff was delightful.

Family visit to goose on the green. Very nice , clean, bright and spacious. Excellent service very friendly staff. Very nice Coffee and cakes were delicious. Would definitely return. Highly recommend.

Tried here twice since it was taken over. Made a great job of refurbishing - so light, bright & more spacious now. Nice selection of sandwiches and light bites. Tasty homemade soups. Service friendly and fairly quick. Would go back again.

Popped in for coffee and cake late on a Saturday afternoon. It has been refurbished since it was last open as a cafe and is bright and spacious.
