Harbour Cafe in East Lothian - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The brie and cranberry toastie was delicious.

Gorgeous food, excellent service, friendly, recommend! Dog friendly ❤️❤️

Coffee and a nibble. Good value, hood location.

Food was average ok but not amazing. Service was terrible, 7 people in our group and were were Told we couldn’t even move any chairs to sit together. Despite saying they have gluten free bread available one of our part was told there was no gluten free food on the menu. As a compromise we asked for the content of a roll, bacon, egg, sausage but were told you can’t have that as it’s not on the menu. Came across as very rude.

I went in for a sausage and egg roll today. I was charged the same price for takeaway as sit in which I had never experienced before anywhere. I like to go into local businesses when visiting somewhere for local produce, but the lorne sausage came out of the freezer from a plastic bag, looked like Aldi's. The egg was swimming in oil. Had to throw away the roll it was so bad. On the other hand, the millionaire shortbread was lovely.

Visited today for a quick snack. Nice menu and location, just what you want. Staff very friendly, the South African lady was particularly nice to us (and to our dog, who is a tad bit nervous). Didn't get to speak to the guy behind the counter. Toasties were great. Will definitely go back again!

Very reasonably priced and great food.

Smashing wee place, wish it was open on a Sunday haha, crackin breakfast and they love dogs!

A small intimate cafe perfectly situated at Fisherow Harbour. Serving lovely home cooked food with a smile. Dog friendly too.

Morning rolls on a Saturday to set you up for a dog walk on the beach!! Always a friendly welcome and a treat or two for the doggos. Empire biscuits are a fans favourite!

Nice little cafe with delicious pancakes. Fast and good service.

Just been for lunch and it was fantastic, great home made soup and a toastie, good coffee too. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Took a window seat and it was very relaxing.

We go there every now and then for a coffee, and yesterday we decided to have some breakfast rolls (one with bacon and one with haggis. The bread buns were amazing and fresh, and overall we really enjoyed them :) It's a small business, and they are dog friendly so our big boy can come in. Definitely would recommend!

Very pleasant coffee stop, by the harbour, with good coffee. Cashless payments.

Exceptionally nice cafe with views of the Fisherrow harbour. Fantastic menu for a small cafe, with light meals soup, toasties, panini, baked potato and burgers. Very reasonable prices, homemade soup wad delicious. A great range of home-baked products with a wide range of vegan and gluten free. There coffee was lovely too. A great find! Takeaways also available. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Cafe is in the small, clean and offers excellent view of the harbour.

The large lady has an absolutely atrocious manner. She simply should never work in any customer service role. She had a terrible scowl and miserable demeanor from the moment I entered. I then committed the horrendous sin of asking her an incredibly simple question while she frothed milk. ("You close at 3, right?") She literally growled at me "GIVE ME A MINUTE". You are making a coffee, not performing brain surgery. And regardless, there is 0 need for rudeness.

Supposed to close at 3 pm, Tried to order food at 14.20, was told there's a 20 minute wait and by that time they'd be closed!! Not a very good way to run a business

Love this place for a wee breakfast when passing by on my bike. Great views over the harbour and always delicious food!

What a super cafe! There was a great view of the harbour from our table inside the cafe. We had a wonderful breakfast, freshly prepared and delicious. The blueberry pancakes were fabulous. Service with a smile, very reasonably priced, and a welcoming experience. Thank you so much.

Just been to this cafe in musselburgh was turned away and told there is no tables there was one sitting witha lap top on it and a couple sitting at a table for four but told to go up the road the lady was dismissive definitely won't be back.

Lovely food cookie and flapjack amazing very nice coffe

Good coffee, lovely burger, friendly staff, cracking location 6/23 I can also add a cracking breakfast as well

Lovely wee cafe staff friendly lovely cuppa tea there n cakes

Great wee cafe! Great gluten free options! My pal has celiac disease and struggles to eat out - cross contamination can cause her to get very ill. They were so helpful and their kitchen has separate preparation areas for gluten free so cross contamination is really thought about. My pal was over the moon and said that's the first time in years she's felt it safe to eat in a cafe. Oh, and I had some cracking veggie haggis. Will go back just for that!

The attitude of the owners is very abrupt and unwelcoming,. But nice drinks.

Love this wee place. Stella and Andy are fab and friendly. Food is great, views looking across the old harbour and over to Fife, excellent. Dog friendly. My go-to place whenever I'm back in Fisherrow. Keep up the good work guys!!

Harbour Cafe is very local to me and I frequent it regularly. Always a great experience. Food and drinks are delicious and considering the recent global events,are value for money. Staff are always very friendly too.Fantastic view overlooking the harbour. Get yourself there to treat your tastebuds !

Excellent homemade food and service!

First of all, great food, and affordable prices as well, I personally love to order the toasty and soup combo, even better deal to fit my big appetite. But a normal toasty is enough for normal people cuz it’s served with salad and chips, or crisps in British English. I just love the texture of how the crispy of toasty is dipped in soup, also, the soup changes everyday, not yet had one that I didn’t like, or maybe it’s just I’m a soup person.💅 Second, people here are so nice, I come over every Sunday, and Stella (the lovely lady you’ll see by the counter when you walk in) always give great chat, also Andy (the guy by the kitchen who makes a great, a perfect cheese pull) makes wonderful food filling my big stomach👌 And the people who come here either for food or to chat, nioce people to chat with, cuz most of the time they’re gonna be granny walking their dogs😊 Also, the cafe is dog friendly and have dog ice creams (I didn’t know they existed until I came here) and occasionally Stella feed the dogs dog treats by her counter 🙌🏻 Oooooooo, also the view, the view by the window is facing the coastline, which is always somewhere to look when I’m exhausted with my work, very relaxing, in general, lovely view of the docks and coast, too bad I always take up the window seat😎 In summary, great food with great price, good people, dog friendly, and great view👍🏻

Great selection of home baking, I love going in and seeing what is new that has been added to the home baking section. Very lovely owners, always welcoming. I am now a regular here and would recommend it to anyone!

Would not reccomend Got charged over £11 for a very poor breakfast and cup of coffee Wouldn't mind paying if the breakfast was decent, portion size small and poor quality Youd be better going to the chip van which is just other side of the harbour

Had the opportunity to taste the custard cream biscuits that are homemade by Andy the owner. They were delicious and so yummy. Thank you ⭐️

Very welcoming and excellent choice of food 👍

Had a giant jammy dodger from here, it was class.

Great little cafe. Brilliant value for money. I had a toastie, a scone and a cup of tea all for £8.50! If you are down at Musselburgh Harbour give them a try.

Food was good, but I felt we were more in the way than welcome.

Lovely little cafe, with amazing views. Food was excellent, coffee good but not impressed with the mocha. Will have tea next time. Staff and service good.

It's a cracking wee cafe, prices reasonable service great, at the minute it sits only about 12 people.

If you are a poached egg lover! I recommend the Harbour Cafe Fisherrow! Cooked to perfection ♥️

Frequent this place every morning of the weekend but I won’t be back, customer service isn’t great sadly. The woman that owns the place is very rude and has no social skills, regularly ignores customers and has got my order wrong multiple times, sad because the location and food is great, although a bit overpriced.

Lovely café and quality food. Stella and Andy always make you feel very welcome.

The best cooked breakfast I've had since Gary Wilmot's wedding. Lovely stuff! 👍

Great soups and home baking in a clean and greatly situated cafe. Dog friendly too so ideal for grabbing a quick cuppa when out and about

Poor customer service weren't interested in making food to takeaway and no available seats to sit in I think you will find there is 2 cafes in Musselburgh kaffeine and Miros who sell breakfast rolls all day

Great service to match the great view of the harbour! Really lovely cafe, always make it a point to pop in whenever we're hunting for seaglass :)

One star is generous! Customer service shocking asked to place an order to take away and was gruntled at when asked for a baked potato. Then asked for a filled breakfast roll and was told no we don’t do breakfast at this time. No negotiation, very poor attitude was quite clear she couldn’t be bothered to accommodate customers.

Perfectly tasty oat flatwhite from an independent cafe in musselburgh. Had an oaty raisin cookie too which was tasty.

Great wee cafe by Musselburgh harbour. Fresh food, good prices and friendly service.

Never come across someone so rude, customer service shocking! Asked if we could have the table with 4 chairs and add another 2 at either side was refused as clearly the lady working there couldn’t be bothered to serve us. Said health and safety reasons never heard so much rubbish in all my life! When I confronted her about how rude she was she looked embarrassed. If you don’t have basic people skills don’t work in a customer faced environment! Avoid this place if you want to be faced with miserable staff

Had read good coffee reviews but was unfortunately disappointed. If you sell flat whites, you should know how to make them. Milk - far too hot and frothed like a cappuccino. Should be microfoam with bubbles barely visible. Coffee - should be a double shot, roughly half milk and half coffee to ensure a strong coffee taste. Size- should be larger than an espresso but smaller than a latte or cappuccino.

Really friendly staff, big range of options including vegan options, enjoyed the haggis panini and a custard cream biscuit.

Very clean very quick service and polite. Loved the big breakfast with the haggis and everything it was just perfect

Waiting 10 min on the counter totally ignored by staff. No answer for "Hello" . Inside was only 2 customers sitting. They wasn't busy at all. So disappointed. I just walked away.

Great little cafe for sit in or takeaway. Decided to take away a breakfast roll and coffee to sit at the harbour on a busy sunny morning. Service is good as is food. Highly recommended.

Two toasties,a hot chocolate,a pulled pork/beefburger,a latter,2 choc shortcakes,a rum and raisin slice. Yummer

Coffee, banana cake & caramel shortbread, all good and reasonably priced 👍

The owners are so unfriendly, absolutely no social skills whatsoever, young girl who works at weekend could teach them a thing or two, shame really because the food ain't bad.

Lovely little cafe with committed people must come by earlier as a carry out on the harbour is cold but gulls are determined

5 star coffee and cakes in this little place just opposite Fisherrow Harbour. Inexpensive, homemade and completely delicious.

Very clean friendly, Lovely lunch.

Fantastic lovely wee cafe Canadian breakfast fab!!

Hi everyone is amazing experience and the food and drinks is amazing me and my friend love it so tested food done will keeping your job will and good job

Delicious home made soup, good service.

Bit strange that a table of four is used for staff even when there's limited seating... All in all, not a place I'd recommend.

My favourite cafe to go to on days off. Lovely atmosphere and the food awesome.

Lovely little cafe with a good range of pastries and snacks.

Very nice breakfast, good quality food and great value

Lovely staff, food was amazing with great inclusively for people with intolerances and vegan choices! Fantastic coffee!!!

Fab breakfast and great coffee.

Lovely hot chocolate, yummy piece of lemon drizzle cake, prices reasonable, clean cafe and toilets. Only 2 main tables though, but a few small seats at window too.

Serve a good cup of coffee here. It's a pity they don't have better roll's . Really disappointed when we got bacon rolls and the rolls were rubbish

I arrived in pouring rain with 3 friends and waited at the entrance. We where greeted with 'We are full no tables available'. We noticed there was a table empty with a laptop on it. The member of staff seemed uninterested to accommodate us. She made no effort to discuss when a table may be available. We left and went elsewhere. Unfriendly and disinterested in providing us a breakfast.

Nice setting. Friendly and helpful staff.

Totally awesome! The food is delicious, I've tried the soups, and the jammy dodgers and big custard creams are amazing! So are the coffees. Breakfasts available here too! My neighbouring patron has just informed me that the toasties are lovely too! The staff are so polite, pleasant and helpful - lovely people! I pay by card and always tip, through the card payment machine. Worth every penny!

Good menu but some items sold out. Food was very good and cooked to order.

Ocean side east is just the best cafe with really friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Fab coffee and best cappuccino. Great menu and was accessible for my wheelchair but needed my crutches to access toilet didnt notice there was an accessible toilet just over from the cafe so all was lovely recommend if in Mussleburgh.

Really good selection of paninis and toasties. The ones we had were delicious and the prices were also great. Very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again next time I'm here.

Lovely little cafe. Toasted panini selection was fantastic. Helpful staff and dog friendly which was a bonus. Will definitely visit again

Out on a family walk and looking to support local business owners. Asked if they could prepare a simple ham sandwich for 2 year old daughter. On the menu is ham toasties. Cook informed told us, "that's what the supermarket is for". Poor show and certainly would not recommend on service

Ignorant and unhelpful. Asked if they could make a simple ham sandwich for 2 year old.... bearing in mind the menu has ham toasties available. Informed that by the cook that the supermarket is for those type of things.

Delicious homemade baking and the coconut cappuccino was really nice! Very friendly staff Would definitely recommend!

Harbour Cafe provided fresh, hot and delicious breakfast rolls for the cast and crew of our short film shoot and they were amazing! We had a selection of meat, veggie and gluten free options every day and they even surprised us with scones and other sweet treats on our last day. They couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. Thank you!!

Poor coffee, ordered a cappuccino and it was like drinking hot water with a touch of milk.

Stopped past today for a takeaway coffee while out on a walk. It tasted more like tea than coffee. They have a proper coffee machine so not sure what happened - but hardly any coffee taste at all. I just hope it was a one off and not the standard. We’d walked on so didn’t take them back. But something far wrong.

A nice setting for a coffee and snacks, amazing home baking! Good Covid implementation and felt very safe and relaxed, thank you!

Food was very good and the staff were very nice and friendly will definitely be going there again

Very friendly staff and reasonably priced

We were on John Muir Trail and popped in, super menu and service and spotlessly clean, scones well worth a try. Many thanks 👏👏👏

Dropped in here for an afternoon snack, just opposite Fisherman's Harbour. Friendly staff, and coping well with the covid restrictions. My soup was good, and they had an interesting selection of cakes. A good place to stop.

Great cafe, we've been getting take away coffees for months, and sitting at one of the many seats at the harbour, which is lovely. It has now reopened for sit in, and the loos are open too, so we went for lunch. Varied menu of toasties, baked potatoes, nachos etc, all very reasonably priced. Recommended.

Lovely place with wonderful view of the harbour

Out walking and came across a small corner cafe thinking we’d get a takeaway coffee. We were impressed with the cleanliness and how welcoming the people where that we stayed in for coffee, cake, shortbread and “ the best toastie ever” according to my daughter! Lovely cafe. Well organised and the very clean. As a group of six We where able to fit in with a dog to which she was given a sausage treat.We are very impressed .Lovely cafe

Went to this cafe yesterday for carry out coffees, the coffee was awful had to throw it in the bin. Never tasted anything as horrible, don't know what it was but it certainly wasn't coffee.

Lovely wee place by the harbour, friendly staff and dog friendly too! Nice selection of freshly baked goodies are recommended

Really nice home baking, but unfortunately my coffee (flat white) was rather disappointing. My wife's latte seemed okay though. Nice spot and perfect to pick up coffee for a seat by the harbour or walk along the promenade

Excellent food and great service.

Fantastic lunch. New owners now providing great selection of hot food and snacks. Wonderfull to see vegan options on the menu. My panini was delicious as was my partners vegan burger and almond milk lattes. Sure to become one od your local mussleburgh favourites and always a fantastic view of fisherrow harbour.

Lovely vegan burger and a coffee with a scone of generous proportions.

Great wee spot for classic breakfasts, light lunches and coffees. Fab vegan/veggie options too with best veg haggis roll in town. Sit in (small and busy over lunch) or take out for a walk around Fisherow Harbour or the beach (watch out for hungry gulls). Good value, down-to-earth, friendly staff.
