So Strawberry Caffe in West Lothian

Love this wee café and pop in on a regular basis. It’s always busy, the food is lovely and hot. Home baking is delicious and a great selection. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Have never experienced any of the more negative reviews mentioned here.

We had a lovely visit to this cafe. Staff were very welcoming. The cakes and drinks we had were delicious. It is somewhere clearly enjoyed by locals who are known by name and well looked after by staff. We would definitely return.

Was in Linlithgow for an event found the So Strawberry Caffe, A very nice clean friendly and inviting little place coffee was good and the meal we had was excellent we even complimented them on their carrot cake delish I would recommend this little place to anybody ,

A pleasant surprise for lunch whilst visiting nearby Linlithgow Palace! A beautiful cafe with friendly staff, lovely decor & scrumptious home made food. Highly recommended if you are in this beautiful Scottish town. The club sandwich was the best we’ve ever tasted, nutritious home made soup & quiche was very yummy.

Called in here with our dog after a stroll round Linlithgow Loch. We were greeted warmly and dog biscuits were immediately forthcoming. We ordered a bite to eat - panini for me and a club sandwich for my wife. The food arrived swiftly and was hot, fresh and tasty. The cafe was also spotlessly clean. We’ll be most happy to return when we’re next in the town.

First visit and soup delicious, friendly staff and good choice of baking. Right in middle of historic Linlithgow, so good for shops and nearby museum, Palace and St. Michael's Church. Got a free scone as close to closing time

I visited for lunch yesterday, tasty Pea and Ham soup the best I have tasted, coffee and Dairy/gluten free cake to follow Very happy and friendly staff. I would throughly recommend a visit if you are in Linlithgow and you will be made very welcome.

We collected two Mother’s Day afternoon teas today and they were delicious. A lovely piece of quiche, a sausage roll - I heated both in the oven for 5 mins. 4 lovely sandwiches, a scone with jam and cream, a meringue, a piece of caramel shortcake, a mini cake, an empire biscuit and a huge strawberry. All beautifully wrapped with Mother’s Day ribbon and two little candles in the gift bag. A real treat. Couldn’t fault it at all. Really fabulous

Delicious lunch, coffee and the selection of cakes was amazing. Enjoyed a slice of the locally baked cakes!

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff, extremely clean, covid friendy, clean toilets, great food. Can't ask for more.

After a walk round Linlithgow Loch we dropped in for brunch at The Strawberry cafe . We took a nice pavement table in glorious sunshine . Staff were very friendly and obeyed the Covid rules. Tables and seating were wiped down as soon as tables were vacated . Service was fast . We gad Scrambled eggs tomato and potato scone and a Bacon Roll Delicious !

Great food and great staff. Had a lovely brunch, my daughter loved her kids sandwich crisps and cake. Super coffees. Strawberry and cream cake was exceptional. Always my first choice in Linlithgow.

Just out for a walk and popped in for a coffee and juice for the kids. Good coffee as anticipated but I just wanted to praise them for cleanliness and adherence to the procedures. Well done....keep safe everyone

A wee meet up with family brought us back to So Strawberry Cafe. We love this place normally and glad to see it is offering takeaway during phase 2. Great to get a decent coffee and cake as well as kiddie sized cakes too. Thanks for being open guys and keeping the standard high. See you again next time I'm in town

We called in with a half hour limit due to our parking running out. We checked the cafe was still serving and were told they closed at 4 pm but would be happy to serve cuppas. This was just what we required. We chose millionaires shortbread. This was very gooey. I wondered if the toffee has set? It tasted rather sweet. These were served to us on melamine strawberry plates. I would have preferred china plates but would be more suitable for kids. The tea was served lovely and hot in a knitted strawberry tea cosy. My husband thought the coffee tasted above average. Other customers came in whilst we were being served and told that they were soon closing. I felt pressure to gulp down my tea quickly.The toilets were clean and the cafe appeared to be quite child friendly.

First time visit and will be back! Lovely surroundings and delicious lunch! Reccomended. Fast and friendly service too.

Found this place on trip advisor and so glad we did, macaroni cheese to die for, my fiance had soup and a toastie which he loved, really lovely friendly staff and lovely wee cosy cafe.Apple pie not home made but deliciously good, i want to know where they get it so i can have it too! Not a huge fan of the teapot as it leaked a wee bit but the tea was braw too. Absolutely loved this place, will absolutely be back.I've got more i want to try!!

Food nice, reasonably priced. Staff pleasant and friendly. We always like to pop in whenever in linlithgow for a bite. Only thing is in hotter weather it can get quite stuffy. Staff are more than happy to open door to let some air in though, if you ask. Only one bad thing (but not a reflection of the place itself!)....some customers need to learn to flush a toilet after them! :/

Despite turning up, ‘just before closing’, we were made to feel welcome; Lisa’s aunt own the place. The tea was excellent, loved the apricot scone. Wish we had turned up earlier. Will definitely be back :-)

Went for some lunch here after walking around Linlithgow Palace. Great atmosphere, lovely welcome, the food was great and we had some of their delicious cakes to take away for later. Good range of options for veggies as well.(There's a great wee independent bookshop just down the road, I would highly recommend a visit there as well).

A really nice scone and cup of tea! Great service - friendly and helpful. I would recommend this lovely cafe!

A lovely cosy cafe with very friendly and welcoming staff. Had the quiche for lunch and it was delicious. Used the bathroom and it was lovely, and spotlessly clean. Will definitely be back. Than you.

Best lunch of the holiday, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Great cake selection and wifi. Short walk from linlithgo palace

Visited twice in a week as it was so nice. Lovely food, drinks and friendly staff. They allow dogs but only one at a time

Went here last week, Thursday, after seeing the castle. Had a nice lunch of homemade soup. I was seated right away and served piping hot soup! It was delicious and just the right lunch for me. Owner was lovely and this place has a brisk business. Highly recommend.

We took friends who were visiting to Linlithgow palace and afterwards to this cafe, they were very impressed with the strawberry tarts , myself and 2 daughters had the caramel apple cake which was gorgeous

Lugar magnífico para tomar algo rápido y continuar con las visitas. Muy bien situado. Comida muy rica y a un buen precio. Gran variedad de tartas y precio más que recomendable.

We went here on recommendation from our tour guide and our friend was very impressed with her GF lunch.

Lovely quaint cafe in the town centre with a friendly atmosphere and great service.

Really nice friendly staff serving all things tasty. Water bowl for the dog at the entrance. Cakes are fresh and the food was nice and hot. Tables outside for the smokers. Horrible habit!! Just next to the palace entrance/exit. Just the place after all the walking.

Stopped for a quick lunch. A busy place, but service was quick and the food excellent. Highly recommended

I visited this coffee shop a for a cup of tea and cake. The cakes were absolutely delicious and the tea of great quality. I will definitely come back.

Would recommend this cafe to anyone who's anywhere near Linlithgow. The cafe was really busy but the staff were really friendly and attentive to both visitors and regulars alike. The food was good as was the selection, even has a kids meal deal which was great as the 6 year old with me can be a very finicky eater and even she thought it was great, asking if we could come another day. The toilet was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Great day. Great food and most importantly, fabulous staff.

Such a fun , quirky place, food is tasty and the staff lovely! Such a wet miserable day outside , but left warmed and smiling , love all the little sayings around the walls and the strawberry tea cosies are a lovely touch!

The cafe is bright and welcoming. There is a strawberry theme to the decoration. My kids loved the vanilla ice cream milkshakes and I had a delicious freshly made fruit smoothie. They are known for their homemade cake selection, yummy. My daughter ordered pancakes with Nutella and...yup, strawberries. She loved it. The waitress was friendly and the food was freshly prepared but didn't take long to arrive. The toilets are pleasant to use but the door of the ladies opens directly onto the cafe...make sure you lock the door properly! The cafe is in a good central location, we'll definitely go again.

We dropped in for a coffee after visiting the Linlithgow Palace and were so glad we did.

My friend and I had a great lunch - really tasty lentil soup and lovely sandwiches. There is lots of yummy home baking available. The staff are really warm friendly and helpful. This café is a real find.

Been two or three times now for breakfast. Always very busy. Food is up to a good standard and staff are friendly and helpful. Only beef i have is it can be quite warm and stuffy, but say to staff and they'll be ok to have the door open slightly :)

Popped in for a coffee when waiting for pals to arrive. Good choice. Nice coffee with a terrific fruit scone with butter and jam. Scone went down well and coffee was good. The jam was tasty but lacked “body” and no fruit detectable. Good attentive pleasant service.

We popped in on Tuesday, there was 10 of us altogether including 3 kids, one still in a buggy. They quickly put two tables together so we could all sit together. The coffee was great, the tea came with little a little strawberry tea cozy on, we had homemade cakes, totally loved it!! Soooo much nicer than a chain coffee shop...will defo be back

Visited with friend who lives locally and highly recommended- good coffee and excellent selection of home made cakes.

Make us a wonderful vegan irish coffee for my partners birthday, lemon vegan cupcakes were lovely and was warm and welcoming and made a special effort to find a cake for every customer request while we were there. All homemade aswell.

We stopped off here after a walk around the Loch and a visit to the palace. We were greeted warmly by the staff and luckily secured the last vacant table. Lunch was lovely, all fresh ingredients, the bread was amazing and so fresh, soup had so much flavour and salad was so fresh. I will certainly return if I’m in the area and would highly recommend this place to friends.

The staff always make my granddaughter and I, plus our two dogs, feel very welcome. They bend over backwards to accommodate us and cater for our needs. It’s lovely to find a dog friendly cafe. And the food is good too! I love the dainty china teacups, milk jugs and little teapots with their dinky strawberry cosies!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. We had the 'strawberry platter' of soup and savoury which was delicious. Just down from the Palace so very handy for a post-visit coffee.

Nice cosy coffee shop for a cuppa with friends Lovely freshly made scone and friends had a toasted tea cake Small cafe with about 8 tables

We go for lunch and coffee. The food is excellent, the staff friendly and it is spotlessly clean . Would definitely recommend it for family and friends.

Luckily we found a table when we stopped by bc they were fairly busy. It was obvious that this is a popular place! We had delicious vegetarian sandwiches, and yummy lattes and cakes! The vintage china adds a special touch. The staff was very attentive and friendly!

My husband and I stopped here for some warm drinks and a quick bite to eat. The hot chocolate was great and my husband enjoyed a cinnamon roll cappuccino which he loved. I also had a fresh butter croissant and I had some sweet bread. Delicious. Would certainly go back.

So Strawberry is a very homely caffe, The coffee/cappuccino is excellent and there is a wonderful array of cakes. The team are always attentive and very friendly too. An excellent spot in a lovely town.

We stopped for lunch after visiting Linlithgow Palace. The food and service were excellent! The owner and everyone there were so friendly and charming. We would highly recommend going to the cafe. Thanks!

Quick stop off for coffee before visiting Linlithgow palace. Warm welcome and quickly pointed to a table to sit. As my partner is vegan she was delighted to be informed that not only was soya milk available for her coffee but the cafe also had a vegan cupcake on offer. Far more established coffee chains struggle to offer this so this was a very pleasant surprise. The coffee and cake ( I had a scone) were lovely. The waiting staff were extremely friendly also. Well done So Strawberry

Popped in here for a light lunch of toasties, tea and dessert. Very friendly service and a delicious choice of cakes and desserts. Convenient for a visit to Linlithgow Palace.

Had a fabulous trip here for the second time x staff are friendly shop is clean and inviting food is yummy x

there is a great choice of cafes in L., and we were not disappointed with ours.Situated at the Cross you can easily reach all the attractions. In this hot weather one can sit outside. Inside the tables were all occupied, and we think mainly with local people which we took for a good sign. Our light lunch (paninis with salad) was fine and the service quick.

We spent a few days in linlithgow Scotland and found just the spot to have tea and a scone.

Stopped here for a quick cake & coffee stop while out on a cycle. Delicious cakes, big range of dairy, gluten free & vegan... Great flavours. Highly recommended

Anytime you are always welcome. Coffee and teas are first class both in taste and service. Lunch is very good and with outside tables, you can have a stop with your dog.

Very good, freshly prepared food, served with a smile. Good service, lovely touches, little poppy shaped tea cosies, interesting wall hangings, all in all a very good place to have a light meal.

Right outside the main entrance to Linlithgow palace. Perfect place for a cup a tea and bite to eat. I'm a vegetarian and plenty of items to order. Not sure if there were vegan options.

A group of us had a mixture of savoury and sweet with drinks for a late lunch. All obviously freshly prepared, great choice and excellent presentation. Very friendly staff and would visit again.

I recently ate here for breakfast/lunch, and was fairly impressed. I ate a scrambled egg roll and drank a vanilla latte. Both were excellent, and tasted good. The roll was a seeded roll and was very good. The interior of the place was lovely, the staff were nice. The only slight problem was that they charged 30p extra for soy milk, which in an age were lactose intolerance is well-known about is, I feel, slightly unreasonable. Prices were also slightly higher than other cafe's in the area. That being said, the experience was a generally positive one.

Good service good food lovely coffee and yummy cakes and smiling waitress what more could you ask We were visiting the castle and this cafe very near pleasant atmosphere the service was excellent and food served with a smile every thing spotlessly clean

We were visiting the castle and one of the staff there recommended So Strawberry. Not much to look at from outside but lovely inside. Food was high quality and reasonable, made to order and cakes all home-made. A tiny bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Good choices and friendly and helpful staff. Lovely and clean too.

Lovely cafe great coffee. Lunch options varied. Some gluten free options. Staff seemed stressed slightly. Small inside but very nice

Great location next to Linlithgow Palace. Excellent food and exceptional service. Happy friendly staff.

Nous y avons pris notre pdj avant la visite du palais de Linlithgow, tout proche.

What a lovely caffe right next to the palace. It's a busy wee place. Lovely home made cakes and food. Lovely staff. Tea served in china teacups. Very civilised.

A very nice way to finish our walk in the snow around Linlithgow Loch. Minestrone soup, followed by Orange and Cinnamon cake washed down with a tasty Latte.

While overnighting in Linlithgow we popped in here for a coffee and also had a lovely scone with butter and jam. The waitress was nice and friendly. It was busy all the time we were there. The coffee was lovely. Would recommend here.

Had lunch here before visiting Linlithgow Palace as it is very close to the palace access track. Excellent service and choice of food from a friendly and efficient staff. Place seems to get busy, so best try and visit early. Highly recommended.

So delighted to see two gluten & dairy free cakes to choose from! I had the buttery caramel which was...

This cafe was nicely decorated but seemed a bit stuffy. We had 2 luxury hot chocolates, but once the marshmallows...

This is a cosy, friendly cafe with great brunch and cake options. It was very busy and seems very popular...

My husband, toddler and I were walking around Linlithgow Palace on a rainy day (we had fabulous weather, except this...

Both myself and my other half are regular visitors to this wee cafe and keep going back as the staff...

We stopped here for a cup of tea whilst on a visit to Linlithgow, and glad we did. Although we had to sit outside as we had our dog with us it was a nice sunny day. The staff were friendly and had a biscuit for our dog, the tea and gluten free cakes were excellent. We will stop here on our next visit to Linlithgow.

Fantastic little place clean polite and the scones and drinks were good and they let our dogs in so worth a visit

Okay, macaroni cheese scored 100% (husband), caramel shortbread was amazing (son), pancakes (nearly as good as mine said daughter - she's loyal!) and panini was delicious (me). Lovely little tearoom, would go back in a minute.

Great little coffee shop with a wide range of cakes (Some Gluten free). Friendly staff and quick service.

I went here with my mum-in-law for coffee, she was delighted with the table service, huge variety of delicious home-made cakes, and with her china cup and saucer, teapot with knitted strawberry teacosy, and flowery milk jug. With a raspberry and coconut cake, smiley face on my cappuccino and positive messages around the walls, it was like getting a big hug. Spotless and friendly. Would recommend.

Came here on the back of good Tripadvisor!

Wife and I went in for something to eat after visiting the palace, Friendly service and great food. Nice location.

Very Nice place! The service is great, the good was delicious and the prices are good 2.Worth a visit

Such a nice café, good food and lovely desserts. So cozy and nice people working there, go in if your'e there.

On a recent tour of Linlithgow Palace, my daughter and I ventured a very short walk to this cute little cafe. The ambiance was fantastic. The two women working in the cafe were friendly and efficient. I had a tuna and cheese melt (which I was corrected and told is a "toastie") and a delicious lentil soup. My daughter has a mac and cheese which she said was good. It was chilly outside that day so we warmed up with a "Scot's Latte"-basically a latte with a nip of whiskey added. Plenty of locals in the cafe were enjoying tea or coffee with a pastry.

Everything is homemade and really good. They do not serve fast food but good food as fast as they can.

Myself and boyfriend stopped for a quick bite to eat after visiting the palace. Panini & wrap wi some coffee and juice. Afterwards we tried to aero mint cheese cake. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Staff friendly & nice setting. We will be back when next in linlithgow. We are from Stirling area.

Nos refugiamos de la lluvia y con necesidad de cafe caliente. Grata sorpresa en la calidad del cafe, de las tartas y de la atencion recibida. Cuidado con el horario, cierra a las 16:30 hrs. Lufar encantador con mesas recogidas para realizar de buen grado el te de laa 4.

We were in town to visit the West Lothian Local History Library and needed a bit of food to fuel our research. So Strawberry Cafe was the nearest eatery so we popped in. Pleasant surroundings. Nice menu. Vegetarian friendly. Outdoor seating options.Seems to be a favorite with the locals.Next time, we will try some of those lovely desserts.

This cafe has a varied range of gluten free sandwiches and toasties alongside delicious cakes. The pots of tea are so cute with the tea-cosies on them.

We were happy with the service we received and the food was nice, so we came back to this place a couple of times while staying in Boness. If it is busy it feels a bit crowded but the customers seem to be well behaved. It is very handy for those who want to incorporate Linlithgow, Linlithgow Palace and Linlithgow loch in their travel day. There is the Vennel car park pay parking next door to the cafe.

We got caught in a sudden snow storm and took refuge in this cafe. What a delight! Our cakes and teas/coffees were delicious. The staff is welcoming and friendly. What could have been a frustrating time spent waiting turned into a lovely afternoon of yummy treats and fun memories. Highly recommend!

Visited for light lunch and enjoyed delicious chicken and pineapple salad. Isle of Arran ice cream also lovely. Best bit was friendly and helpful service. Very willing to help we try to charge my phone and call a taxi. Highly recommended.

The soup was good, the baked potatoes not at all.Almost as expensive as a real restaurant, without real food quality.Probably just good enough for teatime.

My friend and I were having a day out in Linlithgow and I said we had to come here for coffee and cake as it got great reviews on tripadvisor. Wish I hadn't recommended it as the slice of salted caramel cake I ordered and my friend's slice of lemon cake were both very, very dry and the icing on the top was very hard. Not fresh and moist as expected and not worth £2.60 a slice. Coffee was fine and my friend's pot of tea came with a strawberry shaped teacosy which was nice touch but after the disappointing cake we will not be back.

Very nice and inviting café, even from outside, and the experience inside doesn't disappoint. Tasty food and cakes, lovely atmosphere, good service. It's a place worth stopping at.

We had a nice cup of tea in the small tea rooms, food was ok, tea was ok and the service was ok... but there aren't a lot of better options anywhere in linlithgow...

We stopped to get a takeaway lunch. Service was quick, sandwiches and paninis were warm and tasty and I just loved the decor as well - very cool.

As a family we have been there many, many times. The standard is always excellent, the service delightful and the atmosphere relaxing. Satisfaction is guaranteed.
