JoLi Cafe & Gifts in East Lothian

A welcoming little cafe which we stumbled on. Fantastic cakes and lovely people. Our dog even got a treat on the way out…

Called in for coffee which was very good lovely staff very helpful. Spoilt for choice on cakes .. got some pear and mixed berries cake . Scrumptious

“ Chef Dave” the best ! Fab banter & Linda and the girls are so friendly. Great food and home baking is amazing Coffee ☕️ wonderful !

We came with our two year old granddaughter just for a snack and coffee. The sandwiches were all lovely and presented nicely with a side salad and crispy crisps. My gluten free bread was very nice. The toddler sandwich was also very nicely presented. The staff was lovely and gave my granddaughter a spoon and fork with her sandwich so she didn’t feel left out as we had cutlery with ours. The coffee was good too. Will definitely visit again as the cakes looked good and we didn’t get to try those.

Super coffee and cakes. Can sit outdoors on in the garden house. Good selection of gifts. I have ten or more times and been disappointed.

Fantastic Breakfast Rolls and lovely coffee, We always look forward to a trip to Joli, great little cafe & shop, always a pleasure to visit, owners are lovely & welcoming and service excellent.

I felt the need to say just how relaxing it is to visit your lovely cafe. Always a welcome smile and you’re both so attentive and the food is delicious. ❤️❤️ I am also glad to see the other business owner has eventually removed the “advertising vehicle” from your front door. Karma is a wonderful thing. From the tennis guys 😂🎾

We had not been to JOLI for our regular visit since before Covid and we are still being extra cautious even now. We were approaching JOLI one day last week and we thought..ach lets go in and have coffee and a scone. Well, what a welcome from Linda and staff,it was so lovely. We sat outside on a lovely afternoon and had tea,coffee and scones all absolutely delightful. We were so pleased that we stopped and we hope to be back again soon. Highly recommended in every way for anyone who has never been before!

Came back after maybe 3 years and delighted to find this cafe still open with the same owners and unchanged. Macaroni cheese delicious but i couldn't eat it all. Very courteous to my deafness.

Breakfast was amazing as usual! Great breakfast rolls & coffee. Linda very attentive and a great wee place to visit. Can still sit outside in the winter which is nice.

Fantastic cafe, breakfast rolls & coffee amazing, Linda so attentive & welcoming, a great little place in the village.

We stay in East Lothian and this little gem of a cafe & more, is still a favourite! Lovely staff & so friendly and lovely to see other regulars too

Fantastic food and exceptional service. My wife and I decided to split a panini and a piece of cake. Without us asking they arrived split and on separate plated with garnish etc each. No extra charge. Lovely coffee and oh yes and the coffee cake was so amazingly good.

Love it here, the food is so good and the service is excellent! Good shop for gifts, great sitting outside in the sunshine

A relaxing place for coffee & cake and so much more! Such a friendly atmosphere. Excellent staff who make you feel very welcome Definitely one of the best, and they also stock many gifts and cards for all occasions

We are regular visitors to The Joli as we stay in the village where it is situated. It is run by Linda and Dave who make the place what it is, exceptional! Great food and coffee but just as importantly, owners who work hard and...

A lovely relaxed coffee shop with a great outside space. Food is always of a high quality and service is always very friendly.

Ate here today for brunch and what a lovely surprise! We sat outside as it was a gorgeous sunny day the food was beautifully presented and a lovely cup of coffee. Owner was very friendly and the cafe was busy, great little find and we...

We recently had lunch at Joli Cafe & I highly reccommend it. It's such a cute cafe with a lovely range of gifts to purchase. We had a short wait for a table as the cafe was full but it was worth the wait. The...

best coffee and food very good ,very friendly staff i always come back here because it’s a lovely place

The cafe is located in a historic local building. Food is always first class and the service friendly.

Came here for brunch with a couple of friends for a catch up while visiting family. Scrambled egg was delicious and light served with plenty toast. Coffee and cake were good too and the staff were friendly and it felt very homely.

Great service and nice snacks to boot. On our doorstep but only heard about it by word of mouth. Worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. Pretty easy to get a table both here or the longniddry inn.

This is a nice little place for a coffee and a snack. It is quite little, is there may not be a seat inside. Our coffee was fine and our friend’s bacon roll looked good. There is an outside area, however this is right next...

Beautiful quirky place with fantastic choices to eat and drink. Their soup , homemade, is always a winner but they do have so much more on offer. The staff are very friendly and are an asset to the cafe. It's a very chilled laid back...

Stopped here for lunch while driving home on A1 (approx 5 miles away) Very reasonably priced and beautifully presented prawn sandwich, salad & crisps. Lovely staff and the bonus of a wee gift shop with good quality items for sale. Well worth a visit for...

First visit - very pleasant cafe, good coffee & cheese scones. However my friend & I found our eyes stinging - no extractor over panini maker etc.

If you are thinking of stopping for a takeaway coffee and bacon roll on route to golfing in East Lothian, this is the place to stop. Just as you enter Longniddry with plenty of parking available. Also. The Rocky Road is to die for. Never...

My friend and I (with our toddlers) stumbled upon this cafe after a walk around Gosford house. We were made to feel welcome and the place looked fab. Order was quickly taken and the food (soup and toasties) was delicious! Best mushroom Soup Iv tasted....

Great little place however I found it a bit expensive. In a nice village, 10!mins from the beach and lovely area to walk in.

This visit was due to positive recommendations and the service and food matched this and we were glad we visited it.Good menu and well cooked and tasty food.

Ordered souo and a sandwich. Soup is tiny and average at best. Coffee is nice if you like it v v v weak. Sandwich was bland that came with a side of salad but the bread was dry and had no butter or marg. I was also not asked what type of bread i wanted ie white brown etc it came with a few bits of carrot 1 lettuce leaf. 1 cherry tomato cut in half 4 unsalted crisps and a terrible salad dressing.

Been meaning to stop here for ages and did so today...wish we had taken the opportunity sooner! The homemade soup was excellent as was the carrot cake and cheese scone - and a decent hot cappuccino and hot chocolate too. The cafe is tastefully decorated with the gift stock displayed throughout adding to the overall quality feel - not the usual tacky retail stock, clearly some effort has gone in to sourcing the stock, including newly displayed Christmas stock. Staff welcoming and friendly with quick and courteous service throughout. Will definitely be back again as this is a lovely cafe and have a mind to start the Christmas shopping early!

Spent a lovely few hours enjoying our afternoon tea in this quaint little coffee shop. Everything was freshly made, + nicely presented. Excellent value for money. Looking forward to our next trip down.

What a nice little cafe with a wonderful range of gifts. Plenty of seating surrounded by gifts. I had one of the specials salmon with scrambled egg, delicious and a good flat white as well.

lovely little cafe and gift shop, filled with gifts that are slightly different from the usual.The staff are very nice and nothing is to much trouble,very nice to sit in, and on a sunny day, there is a lovely outdoor area.Food is very nice and reasonable prices and the black pudding roll is a meal in itself, delicious,would definately recommend a visit.

Lovely place, good coffee, helpful staff. The shop display was attractive and the toilets well looked after.

We have just had a lovely gluten free lunch here. So much choice and gf is no hassle for the owner. The choice of gf cakes for such a small establishment was impressive.

2nd visit. Home made and delicious food. Bakewell tart with hot chocolate and coffee cake with coffee. Great selection of jewellery and cards. I really needed 2 pairs of earrings. Will return when next in the area

My sister and I have just had a lovely coffee and

Called here yesterday afternoon for a coffee and a piece of cake. Both were excellent. Also doubles as a gift shop and has some very nice knick-knacks.

Thank you Dave and Linda, the coffee never fails to make a great day even greater! Without doubt the nicest coffee, always served with good humour and a smile 😁

Quite small, but good quality cakes and bakes. Mary Berry would give top marks! Very pleasant service too. No wonder it is often busy.

Cosy and comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere, lovely coffee, delicious home baking and great for lunch too. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Lovely selection of gifts too. Without a doubt the best coffee shop in the area!

My husband and I have just had a lovely scone each plus a latte and diet coke. Place very clean and staff very helpful. Will definitely be back to have lunch. ☺

Visit d for breakfast whilst on a tight schedule, the staff were friendly and efficient, the coffee was excellent and their bacon rolls are the best in the area.

I went here on a Sunday lunchtime with an old friend. Neither of us had been before and went on the strength of reviews online. The cafe is easy to find and we got parked right outside. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were lovely. We got seated straight away but took a little time to get served as it was very busy. This meant I had time to look around at the selection of gifts and cards that are available. Apologies were given for the delay on more than one occasion and we really weren't waiting all that long. The food was good and the cakes looked wonderful although sadly we were too full to sample them at this visit. We had a thoroughly pleasant time and will definitely be back.

This is a great little spot on the corner in Longniddry which used to be the Old Library I believe. Perfect for lunch or a coffee with delicious home baking and very friendly staff. They even have a selection of cards and gifts which is very handy in such a small village. We had a late lunch today and my lovely coronation chicken croissant was served with salad and coleslaw and my husband was given two scones as it was the end of the day! We sat outside in their spotless garden and thoroughly recommend this little café.

A unos 10 minutos a pie de la estación de tren en este antiguo edificio de madera Longniddry está cuidadosamente cuidado. Este es el lugar donde la mujer rural escocés comenzó hace 100 años, cuando era una sala de lectura.

Hemos disfrutado tanto el café de la mañana y almuerzo allí y no hemos sido decepcionados. El personal es maravilloso, son muy acogedores y increíblemente recordar los nombres de sus clientes habituales (muy apreciada por mi padre 92 años) El menú no es extenso, pero la calidad y la frescura de lo que producen es delicioso. No visitar sin parar aquí. Longniddry

Gran lugar para una comida ligera o un café y tarta. Muy amable de negocios de propiedad privada, mucho mejor que la cadena de tiendas tienda de café.

Tuvimos una gran visita aquí hace unos días. Tengo que decir que tienen la más hermosa sin gluten tartas gratis y hay pocos para elegir. Tuve la quebradiza de los millonarios no me decepcionó totalmente. ¡Fantástico! ! La soja tarde era realmente bueno, con una buena selección de café sabor que acompañó mi pastel perfectamente.

This is a lovely little cafe with a good selection of food and drinks for lunch. To be honest my baked potato was very small (the smallest baked potato I've ever been served!) which was disappointing. A good range of cards and gifts also on offer.

This place never fails to please...as you walk in delightful lady staff...great specials plus normal menu..plenty to choose from....food always warm and nicely presented....and reasonable prices....gifts, cards are delightful and very good quality...all in all worth visiting

Had a lovely catch up with my Mum here on Tuesday. We were just in for drinks and scones. My Mum had coffee and I had a herbal tea, both were nice. The let down was with the scones. My scone was ok and of an average size but unfortunately my Mums scone was much smaller and not of a scone shape at all. I'm 100% sure you would have changed the scone for another one but my Mum didn't want to cause a fuss. But she did say that it shouldn't have made it to the shop!! But also with that said they were good scones but we have had better visits here. There is so much to look at here since the cafe sells jewellery and cards and bits and bobs. It's a cosy comfortable and clean place to eat and also to spend a little cash on some candles etc. Lol We will be back for sure as I've been many times before and their food is great and they make beautiful soup. There's also an outdoor seating area which is great in the summer. Looking forward to coming back very soon.

The only shamefull thing is we didn't find this place at the start of our holiday and not 2 days before we go home. Lovely welcome and even did what we wanted even though it wasn't on the menu. The latte was hot (first one since coming up here) cakes looked divine and I'm consulting my waistband about having a slice. Lots of things to purchase not just food (eyeing up earings). So if you want to stop somewhere then make it here. We will be coming back next year promise xxx

Joli's is just excellent....delightful owners and staff,lovely menu with consistent good food. Place is pristine, both cafe, toilets etc. Wonderful selection of gifts, cards etc. Also easy to park. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Linda & Joan & their staff always make you feel welcome & their light lunch & home baking menu never fails to please. Would thoroughly recommend

The JoLi Café is a little gen in the heart of Longniddry, I often pop in for some freshly made cakes (which are adorable) and a coffee. The staff are so friendly too. Whether sitting in the outside decking area or inside I have always had great service.

Usually go here for morning coffee and scone. Never been disappointed. Home baking is great and warm welcoming staff. Can't fault it. Usually busy for coffees and light lunches

Visited today with our little girl and were made to feel so welcome. Gorgeous surroundings and lovely home made food. Would recommend to anyone staying in area or passing through

Very nice. Coffee, cake,scones. Can sit outside in small patio area when weather is nicer. Good service, friendly staff. Lovely coffee. Well worth a trip if passing through.

What a beautiful place JoLi is with a lovely quirky feel. The staff are extremely nice and warm welcoming. They have a great menu soup, baked potatoes, sandwiches and cakes galore. The soup was really good and baked potatoes done to perfection. It's the sort of place that keeps you coming back for more. They also have outdoor seating which will be great in the summer but even on non raining days here in Scotland it's always nice to get some fresh air. There is two steps for getting in the door but for outdoors seating there is a ramp for wheelchairs access but inside is not wheelchair accessible. I walk with crutches but even if you walk with a walker depending on mobility level you could do the couple of steps. There is also some gifts to buy inside that are of good quality. Scarfs, jewellery, soaps, little signs etc. The goods are spread tastefully around JoLi and add as a great touch of decor your eyes will never tire looking around. Look forward to coming back and working our way round the rest of the menu and tucking into those gorgeous homemade cakes. Keep doing what you're doing as you're doing it so well guys!!

Found this lovely cafe by accident. The panninis were beautifully fresh and tasty. Warm welcome. The home baked cakes looked lovely but will have to try these another day as we didn't have room to try any!

We had to wait an hour for the RAC as our car had broken down. We sat in this lovely bright cafe and has coffee and delicious light Victoria Sandwich. Coffee was good too. We also bought cards at very reasonable prices.

This little cafe is an absolute find. Beautiful home baking and good menu for snacks or lunch. Everything is delicious and served by really friendly staff. Good selection of cards and small gifts, very reasonably priced. This is now a regular stop on the way to or from walking the dog on the beach and in good weather you can sit outside.

Always a warm and friendly welcome. Cosy and comfortable place. The food is lovely especially the soup.

Popped in on our way home from Edinburgh. Decided to have a change from the big guns at Kinnaird. Cheese scone was homemade and 'real' with cheese through it and flavour. Coffee was perfect in a sensible sized cup and hot. Love the way the gifts are arranged around the cafe whilst being visible and such a wonderful selection. Will definately be back for birthday gifts. Thank you Linda for the chat and service.

Although we live locally we had never been in here till recently...don't know why. We did not realise what we have been missing...lovely soup,lunches abd baking. The gift shop is also lovely and so are the staff. Could become a regular haunt.

I live near JoLi, and I have to confess that I have only been a few times. However, I have loved every visit.1) Service- the ladies who work in JoLi are fantastically polite and genuinely interested in their customers. Longniddry has a large population of over 65's and JoLi provides a great place for them to meet up without having to use public transport. I have seen the ladies wrapping up sandwiches for customers if they have been unable to finish- this is something that warms my heart and I think that customers really appreciate. One thing I do like about JoLi is that even though the cafe is small, they don't try and push you out once you have finished your coffee or tea. They let you relax and chat to the person you are with, and they aren't as concerned with customers turnover as some other local establishments. 2) Food and Drink- well, each time I have visted JoLi i have had exactly the same thing. White Hot chocolate which is AMAZING and Pate. I take my hat off to the girls- the pate is homemade, and as a pate fanatic I get frustrated when cafes pan their pate off as 'homemade' when it is absolutely not *rant over*. Its the little things that make this place so special. 3) Price- Very reasonable 4) Atmosphere- always bustling, and always busy.

I popped in here today. It's a pretty place and clean. And a cosy fire. I had a hot white chocolate which I have not had before. It was really lovely and festive.....makes a nice change from regular hot chocolates. There is gluten free which is great too. Lovely gifts. This cafe is one of the nicest and with a real fire....The service is very pleasant too.

Stumbled across this little cafe, was nice and friendly and clean, lovely things to buy from the shop but a little overpriced. We had a scone and a coffee, we arrived late on a sunday afternoon so the selection was maybe not as good as it could have been had I gone earlier.

lovely friendly place - with outdoor seating for those rare sunny scottish days. Good choice for gluten free - and the millionaires shortcake is fabulous!

I had lunch at joli for the first time last week with my mum, what a beautiful little place. Very friendly staff the food was lovely and very nice little gifts I will definitely be back and recommending to others!

I have been here 3 times now for a light lunch. panni , toastie soup etc and it has been good. what I would say is that each time the little bit of salad on the plate has always been - not quite fresh enough.however I wouldn't let this stop you from visiting, I do like it and will be back - It's a nice little cafe on the main road to North Berwick with space to park on the road outside. If you are driving that way I would recommend stopping in Longniddry to support this new cafe.

Very friendly and welcoming cafe. Great for a light lunch or a coffee and cake. All food is homemade and delicious. Would highly recommend, it's definitely a favourite with me!!

Just cycled with my 6 year old grand son from Haddington to Lonniddry on the old railway line,had been here before what a lovely place, the two ladies working there were so nice what a difference a smile makes.The light lunch we all had was great with to die for rocky roads Do stop here well worth it.

After setting off to cycle from Edinburgh to home in York our group of 12 ladies needed a loo stop! Not a public loo in sight or any private roadside bushes we can across this quaint tea rooms and gift shop. Deciding to be rather cheeky we asked if it was ok just to use the toilet facilities and the lady owner was very welcoming. A beautiful tea rooms, wonderful cakes and lots of unusual gifts. We ended up buying a few bakes to take on our way but would definitely recommend staying for longer to have a coffee on the outside decking area. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We made it home safely on time 300 miles and 20,000 feet of climbing later x

Great takeaway coffee and hot chocolate for the kids. Will return and sit in next time as looks great inside. Staff are lovely

Had a lovely chilled out morning in the cafe/shop this morning. Delicious light lunch and home baking. Had to resist purchasing another of the lovely scarf! Would recommend to all ages.

we were in the local area and i thought seeing as this was number one on trip advisor we would visit. We ordered a cup of tea, a milkshake and a rocky road. Unfortunately the rocky road had a large hair in it! we left straight after but still had to pa for the tea and the milkshake. yes the staff were apologetic but I think this should have been on the house!

Had visited this cafe before it had been taken over by the new owners. They have de cluttered and decorated the place in a lovely fresh style. Good menu, caters for everyone, tasty fresh food. excellent coffee. There is a lovely seating are outside and on a nice day this is a little sun trap. For a small building, it looks bright and airy inside. Beautiful selection of gifts, jewellery and scarves. Will definitely be a return visitor.

Had lunch with some friends here a few days ago. We were able to sit outside and the staff provided more tables and chairs as more customers arrived as it was a beautiful day. The place recently changed hands and is more of a small cafe with a few gifts and is well set up inside and out. The menu is good and we all had the Red Thai curry soup which was lovely. There is a good selection of home baking too. Nothing was too much trouble for the ladies and they were very accommodating with us. Would definitely stop by again

Wow what a difference from Summerhouse gifts. The new owners are lovely, food good and nothing is to much trouble. Its now a pleasure to go here and be greeted with a smile. Atmosphere great.

Lovely home made food, delightful atmosphere, a few gifts on sale and the staff are brilliant. Perfect for a lunch time break - and leaf tea not bags!!
