Came to ‘The Little Bakery’ for a quick brunch before going for a walk along the bridge, so this was a good location for us. I had a hot chocolate to drink and the Veggie pancakes which was a stack of three thick pancakes with a fried egg, avocado, halloumi and baked beans on the side. It was lovely with the sweetness of the pancakes and the savoury of the toppings. My brother had the raspberry and pistachio pancakes which looked lovely and he enjoyed his too. My grandad had an egg roll and coffee, which he thought was delicious. The staff were friendly and quick to come and take our order. The food came quickly within about 10 mins. The only thing that I found was a slight problem was that the egg roll came a while before the pancakes and we didn’t all get to eat together but that was okay. I would’ve also liked a bit more choice with the pancakes that were vegetarian, but I managed to find something that I really liked. The cafe was quiet but still had a nice atmosphere. The decor of the cafe was nice with lots of lights and flowers about which I thought was a nice touch and the toilets were clean. Overall it was a nice experience.

Absolutely terrible experience. The so called “Turkish eggs” were a disaster, not even close to the real thing, & honestly, I don’t know what I was served but whatever it was it was absolutely disgusting. The vegetarian breakfast was bland & unappetising, & even the coffee, which should be hard to mess up, was below standard. The plates literally were the same as when they came out when we left because we just couldn’t stomach any of it. Complete waste of money. Would not recommend to anyone.

My friend and I visited this café for afternoon tea after it came recommended, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. Most of the food was disappointing—stale bread, and smoked salmon that seemed to have been sitting out too long, as it was warm and discoloured. Even the few things that were edible weren’t particularly enjoyable. We had made a booking, but due to a mix-up, our table had been given away. These things happen, but we were then seated at a dirty table with food on the floor around us. The table was also unusually wide, making it difficult to have a conversation without leaning in and raising our voices. The coffee had an unpleasant chemical taste and was difficult to drink. Sadly, I couldn’t finish it. Another concern was the lack of control over dogs in the café—some owners allowed their pets to jump or lunge for food, and staff didn’t step in. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. With so many great cafés around, I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Sirviendo rollos mohosos al público, el lugar está cubierto de suciedad, los pasteles saben como si hubieran estado fuera por semanas! ¡La dirección es igual de mala!

Went here with my partner the service was slow but staff were pretty friendly Food on the other hand was terrible had the full Scottish breakfast well half of it as i do not like certin parts to it but the sausages were cooked one side and what I can only describe as soggy and uncooked on the bottom the bacon wasn't to bad the tatty scones were abit solid and the hash browns tasted like they were from Asda the cheap ones anyways also to portion size for the price is shockingly small would have only been 1 bit of bacon and 1 sausage if I didn't swap 2 of the items which was the limit of what you could swap They got my order wrong twice so had to wait even longer for my food just to be very disappointed with what was handed to me Definitely not going back there again and not worth the price for the food quality I was given Partner had a sausage breakfast roll and even with that the sausages were the same as what I was given what seemed to be half cooked Would highly not recommend this place for there breakfast items Can't say for the cakes or anything else but aye still not worth it at all

Posiblemente el peor pan francés que he probado. La parte de huevo del pan era una rebanada delgada de tortilla grasienta, colocada encima del pan, y desafortunadamente opté por tener tocino que era duro como una roca, posiblemente recalentado varias veces, y prácticamente no comestible. El resto de nuestra fiesta tenía halloumi con panqueques. El halloumi estaba frito, aunque no se mencionaba en el menú. A cualquiera que le guste el halloumi seguramente le dirá de numerosas maneras de cocinarlo para obtener lo mejor de él. Ninguno implica freír. ¡70 libras!

Way overpriced for what it is. I had the full Scottish breakfast. It didn't come with the tatty scone for whatever reason. Poor quality burnt suassage and one small piece of poor quality bacon. Not once was we asked how the food was. My partner had eggs florentine which came on a brioche burger bun.. To have it on bread was extra? The one positive was the coffee, which was really nice. We didn't have a cake, but they did look tasty too. But after the food we had we wouldn't go back. It was very expensive for not a lot of below average food.

We booked a table but it was so busy we waited a while to be seated. It's a dog friendly cafe and very popular with dog owners. Every table had a dog, and as I'm quite nervous around them, and they would have been around my feet, we decided not to stay. We got cakes to takeaway however one of them had been cut badly so a quarter of it was missing. They tasted good but pricey for what we actually received in the box. Definitely a great place to go with a dog or if you love dogs.

Visited today for some lunch. Beautiful place, with clean and simple decor. There is a varity of seating, mainly bench seating, i would say, is accessible for most. The menu is varied with a choice that suits both vegetarian and meat eaters. I didn't have any cakes or sweet treats, but they visually looked nice from a distance. We ordered the breakfast stack with French toast and a full veggie breakfast. The highlight was the breakfast stack. The French toast looked beaufully made and tasted delicious - beautiful thick slice of brioche, sausages, and bacon with a side of maple syrup. Unfortunately, the veggie breakfast was nothing to rave about, mainly as it lacked in flavour, and the beans were tart and lacked seasoning. We had to ask for an additional knife and napkins as the table didn't have enough. The toilet also wasn't very clean. The room for improvement for this place is mostly the service and little touches. Maybe it is an unwritten rule or an ideal that is not common to all. However, serving a table of two of their food at least 5 minutes apart is a total no from me. It left an awkward, uncomfortable wait, while food was getting cold before we could both eat. Good location and hopefully can improve with some attention to detail.

The pastries are good but expensive, almost £4 for a very small slice of lemon cake. Drink prices are high but about average for Edinburgh. The hot chocolate was quite sweet. When it comes to service, we no longer have the impression of being a nuisance, no smiles. Too bad because it doesn't go with the charming atmosphere of this small village.

I don't want to be mean. But, this is one of the worst cafés I've ever been to. I ordered a coffee and a cake. I specifically asked for the coffee to be extra hot, which the employee said they could definitely do. The coffee came not just not hot, but actually cold. I ordered the biscoff blondie. It was more dry than the Sahara Desert. It was like eating a stale heel from a bread loaf, with a thin layer of biscoff on the top. I ordered a sausage roll, which was later in arriving than the coffee and cake presumably because it was being heated. Yet, it still managed to arrive cold. Not that I had a chance to inform the staff member of this, as he performed what I can only equate to a hit and run delivery of my plate. I had to return the sausage roll to be adequately heated. In fairness, the sausage roll was pretty good, when hot. But the cakes cost the best part of a fiver - most are around £4.50, and they do not represent value for money. Not once did any staff member, despite the café being relatively quiet, come to check on how we were enjoying our food. We went because my partner knew of the business through their social media presence, and the cakes do look appetising when you see them displayed. But the food/service is very poor. Like I say, I don't wish to be mean but I also want to give fair forewarning that if you're in South Queensferry, go elsewhere.

The Little Bakery in Queensferry is a true treasure! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly baked goods. The quality of the pastries, bread, and cakes is exceptional – everything is made with care and attention to detail. Their sausage rolls and pies are some of the best I’ve ever had, and the sweet treats like the scones and traybakes are irresistible. The staff are warm, welcoming, and always ready with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable. It’s a charming spot for a quick bite or a takeaway, and everything is reasonably priced for the quality you get. If you’re ever in Queensferry, The Little Bakery is an absolute must-visit!

My wife and I went here whilst in south Queensferry with the babes. We intended to go to another rather popular establishment further along the road but unfortunately they were sold out. The Little Bakery it is. The cafe is quite popular, pink and pretty. You can sit in as they offer full menu but we just wanted a in and out job. We were looking for something sweet but were drawn to the curry sausage rolls so we got a savoury as well. There is a vast selection attractive sweet options. I was almost trembling with indecisiveness so of course we got a selection. First the sausage roll. Unfortunately it looked better than it tasted. Perhaps it was because it was very warm but it was as rather bland. We didn’t get any curry flavour but the texture was crisp and flaky on the outside. You can tell they are hand made as they as they weren’t all in uniform shape. The sweet treats were a bit more positive. The chocolate tiffin slice was lovely with thick layers. I loved the dark chocolate and pistachio loaf which was very moist and delicious. The cinnamon bun which I was most looking forward to had a very sweet and tasty filling but I felt that that the dough itself was quite tasteless. Overall it was quite pricey but that’s to be expected for such a touristy area. Staff were nice enough.

Visited for coffee and cake and for a look round as I was thinking of ordering a birthday cake from them. However, all their cakes at the counter were not under cover, sausage rolls piled up uncovered, scones uncovered. When I saw a fly crawling around on the top of a beautiful oreo cake sat proudly on the counter it just turned my stomach. There were several flies buzzing around the food. Window sills were filthy with dead insects and crumbs. Yuck. Drank our coffee and left. The only reason I give 2 stars was for the young chap that served us, he was super friendly and helpful. Won't be back.

Food so far has been 4 Service 3 needs to improve Atmosphere 2 It can get busy in here and they have tables in a lower section at the back but it's not enjoyable sitting there so I'd avoid if that was the option. I don't see the need to be seated if tables are free and unreserved, because there were a few tables in the upper area that were free but were asked to go to the rear. No thanks. Not cheap but OK. Popular because not much competition. Alternative is Orricco Pier which has a few nice tables outside that catch the sun

It was a quiet day in South Queensferry so when we arrived it was steady but not busy at The Little Bakery. This is a popular place to go, the service was good and the food did not take too long to arrive. Food was also well priced and was a plentiful serving. There is plenty of seating inside and more towards the back. The atmosphere feels a little old and it appeared that there was measurements being taken for renovations to take place. Still would have no issues with going back. Great place for breakfast or lunch.

Very annoyed at my experience today at The Little Bakery. Just lost a local customer due to the attitude of the owner. I regularly visit the cafe with friends, walking the dog, and with family. Always thought bit overpriced but good cakes and convenient as I live in South Queensferry. I popped in today to order a cuppa and type something up on my laptop between appointments - as the cafe was quiet and it was convenient. Ordered tea and sat for a while typing - there were one or two customers when I went in, but they left and it was pretty empty. Initial waitress I spoke to was lovely and polite. After an hour or so, and whilst contemplating another cuppa and some cake to take away the owner walked over lifted my cup and told me they were introducing a laptop ban. When I asked why he said ‘it’s not a business it’s a food establishment!’ And they don’t want people working there -he went on to say it’s 45 mins for a cup of tea or 1 1/2 hours for food and I’d clearly overstayed my welcome. I said the place is empty surely one customer is better than none and explained that I’m a regular and normally don’t have my laptop but he was hammering home the point and really quite rude. So I paid and left. And I won’t be back! He could’ve asked if I wanted something else and upsold rather than being rude and unwelcoming. There’s other local places with lovely staff and better food I’d rather give my money to. I know they won’t miss one customer as they’re usually busy but maybe if people eventually get tired of poor customer service, a bad attitude and the overpriced but less than average food they might appreciate how important every customer is!

Went in here today for a quick coffee, big mistake! It was busy but still plenty of tables! Waited at least 10 minutes to place my order for a coffee and scone. The waitress apologised for the wait, fair enough, and then took the orders for the two tables next to me. I then waited and waited and waited whilst the last table to order after me were served two coffees and cakes and then the table next to me got their big ‘hot breakfast rolls and pot of tea,’ and still I waited and waited and finally after 20 mins of waiting after my order was taken so 30 mins of wasted time I decided to leave. Just appalling service and waitress tried to make excuses they are busy when I was leaving but as I pointed out the other tables who ordered after me and mine was the most simple order were already well into theirs and no sign of my coffee. Went two doors down to Orocco, placed the exact same order within 5 mins and had my coffee and scone within another 5 mins so much better service and beautiful view.

Good food, and easy to book a table in advance (useful if you have prams!) It gets pretty busy so always try and book in advance if possible.

Have to say coffee and cake was very good but service let it down. We had to wait to be seated then when we said it was only coffee and cake we had to go up to order they did say they would take to our table we paid when we ordered but we waited and waited.. until I got fed up and asked where our coffee was obviously forgottenno apologiesabout the wait. They did get on to doing coffee straight away then the guy was going to charge me again 🤔 Need to sort out service

We’ve been customers for many years but it’s really gone down hill. The cakes are good but expensive. But my main complaint is the whole of the place is grubby and could do with a deep clean The floor is filthy lighting is dreadful and it could do with a lick of paint and new ceiling tiles. No-one asked how our cake and coffee was. We won’t be back.

Outstanding cakes and service. Went for a drink and cake while waiting for the Edinburgh University Orienteering Club's Big Weekend event around South Queensferry. The choice of cakes is amazing. Had the cinnamon bun which was excellent.

Introduced friends to Little Bakery for lunch & catch up. We were delighted to be given the bench table close to the window. As always staff welcoming, friendly & helpful and do not rush guests. Delicious food and decent portions all at good value (the sweet potato & carrot soup very flavoursome). While we are regular guests, our friends got a loyalty card (in addition to take away cake!) as they intend a return visit.

Having been here before with my dog I was disappointed by the poor service we received today. I had pre-booked and informed them that I would be bringing my dog with me, at no point was I informed of any new rules in place. We were given a cold greeting on arrival. Once seated I poured out of bowl of water for my dog and was abruptly told that dogs aren't allowed to drink in here, I would have to take her outside to use the communal bowls, even in the below freezing temperature! I then gave her a chew to keep her occupied, on top of her own blanket so that she wouldn't make a mess. Another member of staff then abruptly told me that dogs aren't allowed to eat in here. I asked why and was told that although no-one has complained today, there have been complaints regarding the messiness of dogs from other customers recently. I was also told that if she started barking we would be told to leave. The whole time she had not made a sound or disturbed anyone. When I explained that I felt you couldn't claim to be a dog friendly cafe if you didn't tolerate a dog's basic needs or normal behaviours, he still insisted this was ok! Even though we were intending to be paying customers! Unfortunately we felt we could no longer stay and went to Down the Hatch instead, who were much more accommodating, it was like night and day! I'm sure this cafe is fine for a cuppa and a cake but it is NOT dog friendly. We certainly won't be back.

We stopped by for coffee, nice service and pleasant atmosphere. Feedback; make a better queue system to pay/order for those taking away, there seemed to be no order in queuing, lots of people confused. Coffee a bit expensive.. £8 for two, nonetheless can’t shame it, it was nice.

Visited with a friend yesterday for lunch and cake having booked a table. The tables were very cramped together and we were rushed to make an order straight away. Both had a filled roll which were fine, but not really worth the £7.50 each as the fillings were very dry and slightly overcooked. Went up to order a cake and coffee each after and weren't told that our table was due back. Before we had managed to finish, one of the servers (assuming owner) walked over to our table with another couple in tow telling us it was required back now. Both us and the couple that he brought over felt visibly uncomfortable. Have no issue at all with tables being required back, but the abrupt way it was handled soured the experience. Had he come over 5-10 minutes prior we would have been able to box up what was left or finish quickly without the pressure. Not sure we'll be back, certainly not on a weekend.

Coffee is weak, not well made and way too expensive. Service is standoff-ish and awkward. Down the hatch and Manna bakery are much better.

Has TLB been taken over? Loaded fries £12.50 for cheap skinny fries, cheap orange cheddar & bacon! Not even a large portion. Cake not the norm. Place was cold, no heating on despite its being -1 outside. Server was great but the rest was disappointing compared to usual. Very sad

Litlle bakery means little desire to satisfy customers needs. They serve dry and burnt sandwiches and scones. When uou tell them about the problem- you get agressive and cynical treatment! This cafe is a hole with rats 🐀

Two unoccupied staff ignoring the queue, while the only one serving attempted to change the till roll was enough for me. There are plenty of seats outside for you to wait if you think you might try again later.

The worst experience this city has to offer. Terrible service, extremely rude staff. They don’t know how to treat customers. My friends and I waited for 25 minutes and we were not served at the counter. We even asked where the service was and they responded with mockery. I would never come back.
