The Store at Belhaven in East Lothian

Best burger in ages, with meat from the almost-local butcher. Staff very friendly. Good choices for vegetarians. Family friendly - busy at lunch time.

Just off the back of a very poor hotel experience in Dunbar, we aimed for Strawberry Barn Cafe for Sunday morning breakfast. It was excellent. Staff were attentive right from the off even though the place was extremely busy with families and all ages. There was a real positive buzz about the place. The food was very good both in terms of choices and in terms of what we presented on the plate. And bonus points for not hiding the vegan options on a separate menu ;-) (Note: there are TripAdvisor sites for 'Belhaven Fruit Farm' and 'The Store at Belhaven' - confusing, but the latter, is I think, the Strawberry Barn Cafe)

I've been to this place many times over the years and was surprised how much it had deteriorated since my last visit. Weird menu and food poorly prepared. I ordered the caesar salad and it took some time to arrive. I had to search to find some of the traditional ingredients of such a salad, and later in the day my digestive system told me it wasn't the best choice. I'll spare you the details, just say I'll not be back. Servers were fine, young people doing their best to bluff their way through in obviously difficult workplace.

We attended the Strawberry Barn xmas party night in December 2021. Found the food to be nice, great vegeterian choices, good bar and a good layout (unless you were by the speakers!) The night was spoilt by the music being way too loud, dont get me wrong we all like loud music but this was uncomfortably loud. We couldnt even hear ourselves speak when we sat down, plus we couldnt even dance as the music was very much geared at the younger generation. For a party night were mixed ages are in attendance everybody should be catered for and the music a reasonable comfortable volume.

Confusing entrance with no-entry signs in all directions. Bottleneck with a single door into the Cafe/Shop, convoluted queuing system and wearing masks to order and pay, then back outside to get the food and you need to remember an order number. Simple, cheap, restricted choices, but tasty food and good coffee, so very happy with this aspect. We didn't see any outside tables getting cleaned but the rain came on and forced us to leave all too soon. So a kind of takeaway service with a "use at your own risk" tables and chairs, could be better organised. The barn seems to be open for indoor eating, but not on the day we went.

I have visited this venue several times and the indoor seating area is dark and rather cold - I prefer to sit outdoors when the weather permits. The service can be be quite slow at times and the food can be hit or miss. I think it is an expensive place to eat - I do, however, like the range of frozen meals which they stock and quite willing to pay more than usual for a ready meal.

I have visited The Store on a number of occasions over the last year. The food is always of a great quality and excellent range. Would recommend and always go when in the area

This was a lovely stop on the drive back down from Edinburgh. Good wholesome food on a cold winters day.

Great for the kids, big play area outside also a smaller area inside the cafe with toys which my kid loves. The food is delicious, mouth watering cakes. Quick service, and staff are very friendly. Brilliant shop with a good selection of local and scottish gins. Toilets are basic. I would highly recommend for lunch, we stop regularly here when travelling, as it's right off the A1.

I have only ever had breakfast here but it is always good. Fresh food, lovely service and a cute dining area. Children are well catered for as well as adults.Due to health I am going from vegetarian to vegan. I really hope to see more vegan options so I can keep visiting. They already offer some but needs to be consistent. Always a pleasure.

I've passed this place on the roundabout on the A1 loads of times, but stopped for 1st time today. Lovely surprise! Only had a coffee & slice of cake but both were really good. Reading the menu there's great choice of meals & I will certainly be back. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The decoration & cleanliness were spot on.The attached shop has an excellent, if pricey, choice of quality, different frozen meals & unusual pasta, pickles, beers & spirits. A really worthwhile stop on the road!

Food was good quality, tasty and not your average cafe quality. Wife had croquet monsieur I had chicken naan both were excellent. Kids meals were equally very good quality. Service outside was excellent. Children's play area great to keep kids busy. Overall very pleased and will return.

My Daughter, and Grandson, invited us up for the Saturday, at their Caravan pitched in Bellhaven Caravan Park, in Dunbar. She mentioned "The Store", as a great place for Lunch. She wasn't kidding. I give this establishment a "5 Star" rating, not because the food is the best in Scotland, but because the overall experience, between the Restaurant, and the store areas within, makes it a very special place to visit. For Lunch, you're seated, then go up to the counter to order from the extensive menus on large chalkboards on the walls. My Daughter, and her Mom, had the "Croque Monsieur", which came with Salad Leaves, a Beetroot Coleslaw, and Potato Wedges. I had the "Steak Sandwich, also served with those same sides. Those Wedges were FANTASTIC!! Piping hot, skin on and creamy inside. The Beetroot Slaw was delicious, and from what I saw, those "Croque Monsieurs", were stuffed with Ham and Cheese, topped with loads more Cheese, and neither of them finished more than half, they were so generously portioned. At around £8.95 each plate, WELL worth it, and reportedly delicious as you like. My Steak Sandwich was loaded with 2" strips of Steak, with Lettuce and Tomato, and lots of lovely Caramelised Onions. Served on a toasted mini-Baguette Roll. Very nice indeed. I couldn't have possibly had room for my usual Mocha afters, and as for any thoughts of Dessert, not a chance, I was stuffed! There were, by the way, lots of beautiful homebaked goods on offer, for desserts, but I certainly couldn't partake after that more than satisfying Lunch. Afterwards, we went into the stores areas where there are many, many highly unusual condiments, and various craft items available on display. There are Chutneys, exotic Ketchups, Sauces of every description. There are what, 5 or 6 huge freezers and Chill Fridges PACKED with homemade artisan Savoury Pies, Meals like 3 Bean Chili Con Carne, Cottage and Steak and Fish Pies, Giant Quiches, Spaghette Bolonese etc. Each one looked more delectable than the last! There were Jams, Pickles, Preserves of every description, it was genuinely an Aladdin's Cave of foodstuffs. In a small side room, were unique boutique Spirits like Gins, and Scotch Whiskeys, Vodkas and wines too numerous to count, and never seen as magnificently displayed by me in any other place. I was completely mesmerised by the selection, uniqueness, and choice on offer throughout this "Store". Take my advice, if you're visiting Dunbar, COME HERE, I 100% guarantee, you will be totally impressed, and satisfied by the time you leave. Such a wonderful place to top-off a lovely coastal Town visit. P.S. The Breakfast Menu looked AWESOME!!

Lovely produce use in providing great quality dishes for breakfast to tasty lunch dishes and lovely baked goods.

Easy place to stop off on the A1. Plenty of parking available and a play area outside if visiting with children. Food is overall very good. Starter of celeriac and apple soup was lovely. Regular beef burger was great but the beetroot and think it was halloumi cheese wasn't nice. No particular taste to it apart from a used oil aftertaste. The potato wedges etc that came with it were tasty though. Lovely piece of cake to take away. The shop area has so many interesting things in it that I could have bought everything. Been several times now and no doubt will be back again.

Visited a couple of times in last dew weeks while catching up with friends...great place to meet up and great menu both for breakfast and lunch with a fab selection of cakes. Worth a visit

We always make a point of stopping here when doing a long journey down the A1. Food is spot on, breakfast. Lunch or coffee and cake. Kids like the play area. Only been disappointed once when the kitchen had closed earlier than we had expected.

We had lunch here recently and it was lovely. The only reason we’ve not given it a 5 is because our food took a long time and other families who came in after us got served before us.

Wonderful place. We visited three times in a week, while staying nearby at Harvest Moon.

I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and never disappointed. There is lots to do for the kids in the play park and a wide range of food options so something for everyone.

Absolutely amazing little cafe. Highly recommended to anyone visiting to pick strawberries or passing by for a quick bite to eat

We’ve been having breakfasts in the store for years.

Popped in with friends and had a delicious lunch, staff very efficient and helpful. Will definitely be back.

We only went for coffee and cake but the food looked delicious so we had sandwiches too, they were very tasty and worth a trip there alone! Milkshakes are also fab! The shop has loads of speciality foods and drink for special treats and gifts, there is a good selection. We were too early for the strawberries but I hear they are the best around so we will be going back. A good afternoon out whatever the weather.

Stopped by the Store for a couple takeaway sandwiches which for some reason took 20 mins to prepare despite the restaurant being half empty. For £6 a sandwich we were expecting something decent, the descriptions on the menu certainly suggested so. What I got was a half grilled cheese toasty with a few bits of cucumber and red pepper ("massala spiced green veg") and where was the famous chutney?? My partner got a stale roll with ingredients missing and to be honest was on a par with a petrol station sandwich. We would have been much more satisfied going to Subway. It really irritates me that places like this think they can charge a fortune for rubbish. Never going back.

Called for lunch. The place was very busy which is always a good sign. Good selection of food quickly served and well presented, nice little shop adjacent.

We have eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed both of them. Food is cooked to order and so can be a bit slow at busy times - well worth the wait. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Interesting food in the adjacent shop.

I went along to the farm for lunch, sadly i had my dog with me and therefore were unable to go in. There was free parking A few stores on the outskirts Looked busy and the food appealing

The informal cafe had the menu on the wall on a big blackboard. It was tasty but not special. The salad with the burger was fresh and the coleslaw home-made. The shop seemed really interesting and the staff a bit more animated.

Had been looking forward to a lunch visit after hearing good reviews. Very busy on arrival. Ordered our food, starters and mains were brought together! We had to eat mains first as it was a steak and ask for the starters to be kept warm. No apology from a very unfriendly and rude staff member. Food was actually nice apart from the dijon mustard being missing from the steak which made it quite dry. When we asked the waitress about the mustard we were told it should be on the steak but she didnt offer to get any.

Poor food.... Poor service.... Good quality but the not haw to cook.. a smile cost es extra charge.. sorry change job ....

Considering there were not many in when we arrived, it took a long time before the food came. There were no complaints about the quality, although my burger was dwarfed by the bun, with non-existent topping and so rather dry. The cakes did look good.

A return visit for coffee light lunch and cake. Great all round, can't complain - free wifi too.

Popped in, in search of a restorative piece of cake and a coffee, and we succeeded! Proper coffee, lots of...

Visited on 5 of the 7 days I was staying near here. The food here is amazing. Local, tasty and...

Been a while since my last visit but the food remains as good as ever. Late in afternoon so quite...

The staff are very friendly, a nice informal setting and the quality of the food is very good at reasonable cost

The food here is always fresh and home cooked. Plenty parking and a good stopping point on the A1. If you pass it turn round and go back! The shop has a fantastic selection of ready meals, high quality products, wine and gin. The fruit farm sells strawberries in summer.

Desayunamos allí una mañana entre semana y el lugar me gustó mucho, fue vibrante y lleno, la tienda estaba muy bien equipada también con un montón de productos locales. También ofrece una buena selección de ginebras la mayoría de ellos locales. El personal era amable y atento, la única cosa que, para mí, era el desayuno completo escocés era muy pequeñas porciones y queríamos algo de vernos a través de un almuerzo tarde, pero era de buena calidad, lástima que no era el tamaño normal que te dan en la mayoría de otros lugares de la zona. Pero por favor no dejes que esto te desanime, sin duda merece la pena una visita

We regularly visit The Store for breakfast or lunch. The coffee and food are great, the staff are always lovely and it's a great family friendly place with an indoor and outdoor play area for kids.

Friendly staff, yummy food, good kids menu, small play corner for kids, and free wifi. Haven't tried the outdoor play area because it's raining but we will definitely be back

Visited the Store in January this year and thought it average. Sadly, this time, it has slipped further. Family ordered full breakfasts and one bacon roll. Though these arrived together, the bacon roll was stone cold and was replaced - unfortunately after everyone else had finished their meal. Coffee was again lukewarm and tasted a bit 'stewed'. First time experiencing the outdoor play area and did feel concerned at the rather dilapidated state of the equipment. I am sure it has to be tested for H & S and insurances purposes but I would question it's overall maintenance standard. Skelf heaven!

The breakfast was tasty although I felt it was expensive for what it was. I've been a few times for lunch and the food is of a good standard and full of flavour. It was very busy and its quite noisy when it's full. We bought some cheese scones to take away but sadly they didn't taste of anything other than bicarb of soda. We also bought a bag of lemon flavoured fudge from the shop which was nice. Lovely range of ready to cook meals in the freezers which all looked appetising. Good area to sit outside and a play area. The staff are friendly and tables are cleaned once vacated.

Stopped for a coffee and scone on a recent trip from Northumberland to Scotland. As always the coffee was excellent and the scone very tasty and freshly baked. Staff were helpful, polite and friendly. They have very interesting produce for sale - it all looked very inviting. Despite being very busy I was served quickly. Toilets clean and tidy, plenty of car parking and lovely outdoor eating area and play area for kids.

Visited for drinks and cakes and absolutely loved it! Great selection, reasonable price and lovely ambiance! I can't wait to go back and try out the lunch menu! It looks awesome

Lovely food, great service and very child friendly(indoor and outdoor play areas). Only wish it was closer to home

Stopped here during a long journey for a speedy lunch. Good choice of food options including 3 soups. We just had soup and a sandwich which was delicious. Plenty of space to park. Large toilet facilities which are very clean.

We were in for lunch and a blether a child banged on a ? tin plate with cutlery like a drum,we had to go elsewhere to talk and have a coffee.We both had the steak sandwich< very tasty and tender, spoilt by noise.

stop here for lunch, we enjoyed the tomato and spicy bean soup and the butternut soup served up with a lovely big slice of wholemeal bread, and we had a chicken mayo wrap which was excellent. finished up with cups of lovely coffee, service excellent , and the place was full of people, we will use this place again.

No kerb appeal here but once inside there is definite potential. The cafe area is welcoming and the food fair, however the coffee was only warm and the condiment with the toast was mundane. Noisy as popular as a lunch spot. However large 'shop' area was deserted and could perhaps be better used for extending the cafe giving more space between tables. Glad to find play area for moppets nicely provisioned with paper and books.

Very nice food in the countryside. Not a lot to choose from but very nice whatever you order and not a bad price for the food

Great food well made and presented well. We served and not taken too long. The shop has an fantastic level of food and drinks.

Parents, grandparents, baby, cousins & girlfriend decended for a meet up and lunch.Food was excellent and service fantastic.Menu choices would suit most tastes and the coffee is great.Great value as well.

My daughter and I went for lunch here on Friday. The place was packed and we did have a very long wait for our lunch. However the food was delicious, and we were told we could have a free drink and dessert/ cake as we had had to wait for so long. I had the steak sandwich, which came with salad, coleslaw and chunky chips. It was worth waiting for ( unlike a steak sandwich I had had the previous week at another local cafe!). I had another coffee as I had drunk my first one whilst waiting for our food, but did not have to pay. We couldn't manage a free cake as we were stuffed after our lunch. However on our way out we were also given a gift voucher for the Store, as way of an apology for our long wait too. Now that's what I call excellent customer service. We will be back.

I held a fundraiser here for the RNLI.. The staff were so helpful and supportive from day one. Sandy and Tracey went out of their way to ensure that we had everything needed to have a successful event.

Whether we come for breakfast, lunch or just a cake and coffee the fayre served here is always excellent. A trendy and friendy place to eat.

We have eaten here every couple of months this year, while visiting east links family park which is a mile or so away (but with a disappointing cafe). The food is surprisingly imaginative and there is an excellent variety both for kids and adults and the menu changes regularly and the food is excellent value. Good coffee.There is a great playground outside and a little play area in the corner for youngsters inside.The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because on a couple of occasions our order has been mixed up or we have had to wait for one of the meals - which seems to happen too frequently here. But this doesn't stop me highly recommending.

...I can't hear what you're saying". Food was good, but the noise level supplied almost entirely by the staff was akin to a runway at Heathrow. Constant banging of the coffee grinds from their machine, followed by screaming steam expelled as they make a coffee was competitive with a 747 level. This was only outdone by staff wiping down flatware and throwing it into a container for nearly 20 minutes at the front counter. Sadly, we could not have a conversation, no relaxation, and we had to leave. The management were oblivious to this, even though they were sitting just a few feet away. We have eaten here a number of times, but it has gotten consistently worse in my opinion. Perhaps the feeling that they are safely established they can ignore customer service. Clearly they think that this is acceptable and a place that people will want to come. That is not the case for us as this is not a place I would recommend, and we will not be returning. There are many other lovely establishments on Dunbar High Street which will be getting The Store's lost custom. I hope that you find this helpful.

Popped in for a coffee as was passing and it looked interesting. Great deli, grocery store with home store and play park. Ordered a coffee and sat outside in the sun awaiting its arrival. Had been given a table number on a stick in order to identify who the coffee was for. I laid this on the otherwise empty table. However, the same girl who took my order (5 minutes prior) walked around the neighbouring tables (4 tables were occupied) asking who ordered a coffee. The other tables already had drinks and food in their tables, only mine was empty. I was ignored. When the waitress was about to go back inside with the coffee, I informed her that I was waiting on a coffee. She deposited the said coffee, picked up the numbered stick and stuck it with great gusto into a flower pot that was on the table. Without a word she walked off. I thanked her, but got no response. The table next to me, having witnessed the stroppy waitress who was obviously not impressed by my inability to stick the number in the plant pot, went on the discuss how rude she had been to them when they ordered as they hadn't picked a table yet. How a simple cup of coffee in the sunshine be ruined by poor service. I won't be returning or recommending this place to my friends or family in case they have the misfortune of having the same waitress serve them.

Despite its barn like appearance the Store has a very modern and cool feel. The food is imaginative and well prepared and there is plenty of seating (including outside on a sunny day). After you have eaten there is a deli type shop to tempt you which sells good quality frozen meals from the Cook range and locally produced gin and cider. Outside there is a stylish cabin selling homewares and interesting garden planters etc. The selection of goods wouldn't be out of place in a trendy shopping street in London. This is a great place to visit on a trip to East Lothian or when travelling south on the A1

A good place to stop if travelling up and down the east coast of Scotland. It's very popular with families not just for the food but it has a great play area for young children. A good choice of food from snacks right through to dinner, plus there is a supper club. The shop adjoining has some very interesting food items to purchase including lots of gluten free products. Next door you can pick your own strawberries, I've not done that yet but it looks like fun. This is currently my favourite any time eating place and I would definitely recommend it. Only found out about it because my daughter and her partner go all the time.

Really enjoyed our visit to pick strawberries. The cafe is a great place to enjoy cake and coffee. The kids can play and there is sure to be something to suit all tastes. A little pricey in something but mostly a great wee family place

great selection of food drinks etc, frozen food and iced fruits delicious. Punnets for the pyo strawberries are available here.

I have since moving to East Lothian been in awe at just how hit or miss the eating establishments are. There are some where the service is appalling but the food good. Others where the staff try hard to negate the terrible atmosphere and food. But there is now an ace place to eat, but only till 5pm. Since we discovered this wonderful eatery we have never even once had bad service or appalling food.The menu is great, the good is cooked really, really well, my kids love the pancakes and of course pizza. The service is brilliant. There is space both indoors and outdoors for the children to play. We always feel welcome as a family. It is always busy. The coffee is very good. And to top it all off during the fruit season you can also spend time with thee children picking strawberries. I do wish they'd expand and do an evening service! This is definitely a place to come too to enjoy the food, the coffee, your family time.

Absolutely super place, the shop has wonderful produce all either local or sourced from an ecologically sound provider. Small but simple menu and I highly recommend it as a place to stop for an enjoyable healthy (well with the exception of their sublime meringues!!) bite.

After a disappointing visit to another 'family friendly' establishment in East Lothian a large group of us reconvened at The Store. The staff were warm and efficient and made us and our young children feel really welcome.The kids had a great time playing outside in the playpark while the adults enjoyed the excellent cooked breakfasts and the delicious scones.Really good place to go whether you have children with you or if you just fancy a quiet bite to eat. Recommended.

We visited the Store to start our days adventures. We were here for a breakfast which I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of on this occasion.How ever I can guarantee that it was delicious and served with the highest quality Stornaway black pudding, I only wish I ordered extra! The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an excellent park to keep the kids occupied so it all makes for a reasonably relaxing experience. The cakes as you can see look lovely I had the chocolate orange one which tasted great. The sorbets are all amazing as well.

Spent a really pleasant and informative evening here with friends good fun and lovely canapes very relaxed evening looking forward to the next one.

Highly recommended spot to take the family for breakfast/brunch/lunch. The food is of a high quality and the staff are friendly and welcoming. There are facilities for young children and a family atmosphere. Can't wait to return.

We usually breakfast at Black Agnes in Dunbar but it is closed on Sundays. We were unceremoniously turned away from Dunbar Garden Centre Restaurant so we roamed out to The Store where we had eaten before. The breakfast was good but not as plentiful as we get at Black Ags. The sausages for example were on the thin/small size. Otherwise all was well.

The cafe/ restaurant serves lovely hot and cold food also teas and coffees. Reasonable prices especially good food. The shop stocks lots of different frozen foods deserts and ice creams. Also different types of Gins / Ciders / beers. Look online to see how to order etc. There's always things happening with notices to let you know.

The food is always great quality and cooked to perfection. The burger's are brilliant and as cheap as a McD but 100 times better. Ignore the McD at Asda roundabout and get a real one at the next roundabout. Just off the A1. 30 seconds to front door. Great just for a coffee or a meal. The Friday dining club and Gin nights are superb. The Store has outside seating and a play area. It even has a couple of crafty places to buy quality handmade goods. Brambleshed is just one of them. In the summer you can pick your own soft fruit. Cakes are all homemade and the chef is of a high quality. Also has a COOK shop where you can quality frozen foods and high quality deli items as well as a wide range of wines and gins.

Stopped for brunch but wished it was later because the lunch menu looks so good. The food is lovely and made from very good quality produce. The shop is small but has a very interesting range of products and drinks, particularly gins. Very happy to have found it and we'll definitely be back.

This place looks like a big green shed from the outside. Inside it's a beautiful shop & cafe. The food is quite expensive (but luxurious in the shop) whilst it's very reasonable in the cafe. Had a gorgeous chicken & mushroom lasagne. Friends had soup-sandwich combo for £5.95. Staff friendly & service quick. The cakes looked amazing but we didn't have the pleasure of tasting! There is a lovely gift shop close to the cafe with pottery & textiles from Copenhagen.

I had passed this several times in the car not realising it was belhaven fruit farm I had originally been looking for brambleshed that sells the most fantastic selection of interiors adjacent My partner and I opted for the breakfast as it was still pre lunch at £7.50 is super value the best sausage and black pudding I've had in ages toast and coffee I will be back for lunch and a cake they looked delicious Off to brambleshed it's tiny but packed with goodies and just adjacent to the kids play area purchased a few pieces of crockery and a candle but will defiantly be back for more

Nice place, with friendly staff and spacious layout. Great menu! We have visited a few times and each time there has been lots of lovely things on the menu, with a choice of three soups! Also definitely the best coffee served in Dunbar, however it can be a bit cold to sit in for a while. Not a big fan of the system of paying before you receive your order, I understand why they do this however it can be a pain when you want additional drinks/cakes. Still a great find!

Nice place and welcoming, food is always good and staff friendly. Kids can play in the inside play area which is quite small but would keep under 5s amused and because its small you don't feel you are overrun by children or there is a nice outside area to sit in when the weather is good. The shop is well worth a browse expensive but good quality.

I went to The Store with friends for afternoon tea. I had a cappuccino and a cherry chocolate cake - which was lovely, but quite sweet. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even though it was late in the day and they were getting ready for closing. There is a great range of gourmet produce for sale, including enormous scrumptious looking meringues I didn't see until my way out! ...

We went there for morning coffee which, although it was October, we had sitting outside. It is nice and sheltered, and I enjoyed being beside the main east coast railway line! The children enjoyed playing with seesaws, climbing frames etc. We looked at the "pick your own fruit" area but the strawberries were finished (the season had passed) and we didn't want gooseberries or brambles. It was such an excellent place that we decided to stay for lunch. This was a very good decision since lunch was very good. We chose to have lunch inside. The Store All Day Breakfast was tremendous - great sausages and black pudding - it was all good! It came with tea or coffee and was good value too. The soup and sandwich combo was also good value and top quality ingredients. We couldn't resist the "serve yourselves" ice creams - you got a tub which you filled yourself with raspberry or strawberry sorbet made from their own fruit. You could add fresh fruit, Smarties or other goodies on top. The shop is also excellent with lots of interesting produce and products that you don't get in supermarkets or other such shops. A real joy to get some jams and other products of homemade quality.

What a lovey find, the store is a great we place, I loved the decor and peaceful atmosphere, and food and service was fab! weweamhadbreakfast here the

Like a previous reviewer, we almost missed this place. It had been recommended by friends and it does look a bit like a Cash & Carry warehouse and is not easy to spot on the far side of the roundabout. However, we were pleased we did find it eventually as we had a delicious lunch. The service was excellent and the toilets immaculate. There is a good range of produce in the shop and a good outdoor area for good weather.

The Store is tucked away off the Thistly Cross roundabout on the A1 near Dunbar. It's easy to miss and I'd driven past so many times without going in as I was slightly put off by the metal warehouse exterior, I'd assumed it was a Cash and Carry! I'm very glad I eventually checked them out. So far I have only bought produce from the shop. I live close by so intend to go back to try the cafe soon. The stock is predominately made up of 'Cook' frozen meals and desserts which are great, if a little pricey. They also sell some local produce and other deli items including dried pasta, olives, jams and chutneys.Also on site is a little homewares 'shed' selling bits and pieces for the home and of course the Belhaven Fruit Farm.There's certainly a lot on offer here and you could easily while away an afternoon quite happily trying everything out!

Stopped in on our way home from Dunbar. The food was really lovely and the service was great.Once we finished with lunch, we picked some strawberries to take home with us. We also made use of the self-serve "Icedelights" (I think that's what they were called).

Lovely farm shop serving up tasty food. Ice cream is as good as I've tasted. Shop serves a wide range of food and the pick your own fruits idea is a great thing to do with the kids. Can't recommend this enough. Stayed in Dunbar for two nights and visited this both days.

Lots of friends have been recommending this cafe to me, but I have never really liked the look at it from the road so have never gone....How wrong can you be!! Finally went for lunch last week and what a brilliant place this is!! The food, coffee, ice cream and service in the cafe was fab (and reasonably priced), the children loved the playground and the toilets were clean! The shop stocks wonderful, good quality produce and it is very easy to spend a lot of money there. I will definitely be back very soon.

I've written this review on the 'Belhaven Fruit Farm' listing as well as here as they are both for the same place. We drive from Edinburgh for the all day breakfasts here as they are so good with really good quality sausages and bacon from local sources and black pudding from Stornoway. It's sometimes difficult to get a table as it can become very busy but worth a wait. The rest of the food is good too, particularly the red pepper tart. We've done the monthly supper club once before and really enjoyed it - there were six tasting menu courses (the courses were much bigger than I was expecting) and the chef came around each table at the end to ask how we enjoyed the meal. The bookings can fill up months in advance so we keep an eye out for cancellations, We go fairly regularly during the summer picking season to get strawberries and blackcurrants - the strawberries are beautiful. The price is slightly more than what you'd pay for a supermarket punnet but the flavour is so much better. The shop sells a wide range of interesting things, from flavoured meringues, smoked garlic, Thistly Cross cider and unusual cordial to the 'Cook' range of meals. It would be very easy to spend a lot of money in there!Very highly recommended.

This place is awesome! Why can't all roadside cafes be like this?! I highly recommend the fish pie that's loaded with fresh prawns. And the prices are brilliant!

I've only recently discovered this place and had kind of been put off because of the exterior warehouse look. It couldn't have been any different after stepping inside. OMG! Its amazing. It has a nice cosy, rustic, country atmosphere. The service in the cafe is lovely, they work off their own initiative and seem to go a bit further that you might expect (a rare treat in Dunbar). They have an adjoining store that sells top of the range pastas, juices, jams, frozen meals etc, the woman who serves in here could be a bit more approachable/friendlier. I bought a ready meal out the freezer of macaroni cheese, it was well worth it! First time I went I just had a coffee, second time I had carrot and coriander soup that was served with a big chunk of bread and giant home-made croutons. I cant fault it, but personally I thought it was over seasoned with too many cumin seeds. I will hopefully try a different flavour next time and at some point I will try one of their amazing looking cakes. Keep up the good work, we need places like you.

We have been to the Store a couple of times now, it is ideal for some tasty hearty food, with a good selection of cakes and a good play area for kids. My son Is 4 and loves the park and on the rare occasion we get some sunshine then it's nice to sit outside.

Popped in for lunch and sat outside in the sun. We had Salmon on Croute which was very tasty and very reasonably priced.

We visit The Store on a regular basis, mostly for light lunches, but also on a monthly basis for the supper club, which we have been attending since it's inception. It is great to taste a variety of different dishes, for a very reasonable price. Sandy and Trish and all the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is always fresh and very enjoyable. We also use the shop regularly and like the selection of different types of food on offer - particularly the lemon curd & Prosecco! I

We visit the store regularly for coffee and breakfasts. The quality of food and service is excellent and in a great relaxed surroundings. We decided to try the monthly supper club (last Friday of every month). This was great value for money. Cocktail, 6 courses and coffee for £28 each and byob. Each course was delicious, varied and well presented with local ingredients. Staff were knowledgeable and talked us through each course. The pace of service was relaxed, which we prefer. Overall an excellent evening and we'll be back for supper club again. I only wish it was on more often.

Went for our first experience of the Store's monthly supper club last night. The food was lovely (all 6 courses for £28!), the staff extremely friendly and relaxed, often stopping by the table and chatting about stuff (in a very welcomed way). I'd really recommend anyone looking for a great value dining experience without all the pompousness you can get in the city centre...have booked next month already!

Stumbled across this little gem when going on a Sunday Drive around East Lothian. We thought that it was just a farm shop but it's a restaurant as well. It does really nice Angus burgers and potato wedges and salad. We all got an IceDelight which was delish. I got strawberry and banana, my girlfriend got passion fruit and redberry and the kids got blackberry and strawberry, which they thouroughly enjoyed. The toilets are also very clean with nice foam soap and warm water and a hand dryer. The kids enjoyed the climbing frame and the slide thingy.

We visit the store pretty regularly and every time is excellent. The quality of the Food is outstanding.The little park outside is great for families with small children.

This has to be one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. Everything freshly cooked and nicely presented, the black pudding and the sausages deserve a mention on there own, amazing.

A great addition to the east lothian cafe scene! Good food, good value, great cakes tea and coffee and so family friendly. Keep up the good work.

Introduced to the store by friends yesterday and very impressed. Fantastic food, lots of drinks choices (including alcoholic) and an ace play area for kids. Thoroughly impressed

Visited for lunch yesterday. I had the Steak Sandwich and my daughter had the Soup. Had ice cream for desert. Really good place, and staff very good. Would recommend and will go back!

Living locally, we don't want to sound biased, but The Store at Belhaven is the best thing to happen to East Lothian in years. It's hard to know where to start. The staff are friendly, warm and informative, The food is sensational, as were the tea and coffee. Outdoors, there's a great seating area for warmer days. The other jewel in the crown is the shop. Again, brilliant staff and the best service. So much choice of beautiful food, a lot of it locally sourced. The freezer section is amazing, full to brimming with 'Cook' ready- meals,hearty, home-cooked meals that require no more than popping in the microwave or oven. It's a long time since I've been somewhere that the staff are 'genuinely interested' in their customers. These people are, and how refreshing that is. Well worth a visit.
