North Berwick food 

So what makes North Berwick food so special? 

North Berwick is situated on the East Lothian coast on the Firth of Forth, with an active community of fishermen that catches the freshest of local seafood.

For example, local business Lobster Hatchery rear junior lobsters to be released into the Firth of Forth. 

This ethically increases stocks, creating a sustainable local ecosystem.

North Berwick cafes

North Berwick certainly knows how to create a great atmosphere in its cafes!

Steampunk Coffee

One of the highlights of any day is visiting Steampunk Coffee. 

With friendly and helpful staff, they do what they know best: serving fresh cakes and quality, ethically sourced coffee with a style all of their own! 

There are gluten-free and vegan options available, crafted to bring joy to all taste buds. 

When you visit Steampunk Coffee, take a moment to read about their investment in the local and international coffee farming community, from live music to sourcing their coffee beans. 

There is also an intriguing story behind the cafe. It began life as a restored campervan that visited local markets and has expanded organically. 

Over the years their service has evolved to find its loving home in North Berwick, with an indoor and terrace space and a restoration design running through everything it does. 

Drift Cafe

The views from Drift Cafe pull visitors from far and wide to bask in the splendour of the East Lothian coastline. 

It's located just east of North Berwick, so either drive or take the bus and ask for the stop for Drift. 

The café’s food is lovingly prepared using Scottish produce and will leave a lasting memory. 

Choose to enjoy your food from tasteful indoor seating overlooking the water, or take in the view from the picnic benches outside, where dogs are also welcome.

Take-aways from North Berwick

Thanks to COVID, there are now even more opportunities to find fresh, tasty food, suitable for taking home or enjoying on one of the many local beaches.

Cafe living

Steampunk Coffee and Drift Cafe both offer takeaway options, with Drift offering a takeaway menu from their TakeAway Trailer. Customers can also pre-order Treat Boxes, which are a fun idea for feeding the family. 

Seafood

If you're after freshly caught seafood, then try The Lobster Shack. They purchase only the best ethically caught local produce straight from the local fishermen in the harbour, and serve it fresh that day. 

Icecream delights

No trip to the beach is complete without ice cream, so pop along to Alandas Gelato. 

They'll serve up a great street food experience, with tasty gelato, fresh fish and chips and local seafood.
