I volunteer here once a week but also go to the Wednesday community lunch where a set 3 course meal is served at 12.30. Open to all, you pay by donation but there is no obligation. Lentil soup with sourdough bread, vegetarian lasagne with garlic toast , coffee and chocolate hazelnut cake was yesterday's delicious meal. There's a friendly atmosphere and willing service. The Storehouse also supports several young vulnerable adults who help to serve and to clear tables - always with a smile. I feel really lucky and proud to have the Storehouse in my town. I hesitated to write this review because I volunteer in the shop but I am also a café customer.

Appalling service. Staff were downright rude and did not engage at all, appearing to resent customers and barely responding to questions about food and ordering. Lunch came late and burnt. Salad was a tiny bit of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Very sad as this used to be a great community resource. Won’t be returning.

Very nice friendly laid back place with an emphasis on community and organics. The soup was delicious, served by very friendly volunteers. A nice place to just stop for a while surrounded by lots of hand made craft items and high quality produce. They have a refill service for washing and cleaning products.

Lovely home cooking from scratch. Vegetarian , vegan, wholesome. Its a community shop selling organic , locally produced veg and fruit and whole foods as well as planet friendly personal and household cleaning products. The shop is a bit pricey but a valuable resource for locals.

Very disappointed that semi skimmed milk wasn't available to have in coffee. Home baking looked great. Although premises are being externally refitted fixtures and fittings on the inside were clean and tidy.

Popped into The Storehouse for coffee & their home baking looked really scrummy. Decided on a scone & was not disappointed …..it was melt in the mouth stuff. The coffee was also great.. Highly recommend The Storehouse Cafe.

This is a shop and cafe I visit regularly. Great atmosphere, great produce, lovely people and delicious soup and home baking available in the cafe. A community venture run by local people for local people and the wider world. The shop has a good variety of vegetables and all kinds of food stuffs, as well as good quality crafts suitable as lovely gifts. The Storehouse is a gem.

Stopped here for lunch. Penicuik Storehouse is part mini market selling lots of local produce with a cafe near the back of the store. The seating is a mix of informal couches, tables and breakfast tables, but there’s no theme or consistency to the decor. The extra Covid hygiene precautions are in place. All the staff wore face masks, there was a screen at the cafe counter, hand sanitisers around the cafe and tables were cleaned after each customer. I ordered a Cashew Cream Cheese and Cucumber Soda Bread, and a latte. The coffee was okay. The meal was excellent. The cream cheese went very well with the freshly sliced cucumbers and cashews. The soda bread was well toasted and mixed with the cream cheese, giving each bite a lovely feel as the bread soaked up the cream.

This is an business that's going somewhere in the middle of Penicuik High Street that is becoming a bit sad with many closed shops. A nice friendly shop run by volunteers with great plans to open an indoor market and kitchen behind it. Very welcoming and not a plastic bag in sight!

The Penicuik Storehouse is a unique community shop in the centre of the town where you can meet friends, buy the very best local food and other household products. It is mostly run by volunteers who sometimes make you the the best Flat White outside New Zealand. You are likely to meet the most interesting people in Penicuik and if you volunteer you can work alongside them too. Yes I do have shares!! You can buy shares too.

Uninviting, grubby and pricey. Staff aloof and produce a little jaded. Did not feel valued cannot see me returning..

Worst experience we have encountered. shabby establishment. Dirty tables and floor. Standard of food the lowest we have encountered ever. Carvery very limited and quite frankly disgusting.

Booked not believing the reviews.. disappointed. Not sure if the place is trying to take on a new direction or has been chain bought, but it's certainly not the award winning gastro pub it was a few y

Inexplicably just stopped being a restaurant. Can't find anything about it online. Open but for what purpose I don't know. Now the guests at the associated premier inn next door have nowhere to eat. W
