"I live a few minutes walk from this place and pass it often but had never been in before,although on passing by it always seems to do a decent trade.So after a blustery Sunday morning walk we decided to treat ourselves to the full breakfast. The decor is non existent save a few local prints for sale. The tables and chairs are cheaper than cheap wood, both our chairs and table were wobbly and the plastic table cloth was tacky to the touch. Basic menu printed then laminated, ordered two full breakfasts with coffee. Portion size was ok but even looking at it I could tell the food wasn 't going to be hot or good. The fried egg was burnt underside but then cold and congealing, the beans were cold, the hash brown was cold and was covered in little pieces of hard burnt debris, almost like it had been cooked in a dirty pan. Sausage was hot but of very poor quality. All came with one slice of thin white bread that looked like it had been wafted over the toasted rather than put in it. I am convinced the coffee was just nescafe instant. The plates had seen better days and mine was chipped but what really set my stomach heaving was the huge bottles of tomato and brown sauce that were put on the table. I would hate to even place a number on how many times these bottles had been used for refilling but the faded lettering would suggest pre 2000 's. They were absolutely filthy with heavily congealed lids and what looked like a solid mass at the bottom.Now I am aware that bottles are regularly refilled but to not even give the bottles a wipe and give the lids a proper wash is absolutely disgusting. I declined having sauce on my breakfast. There only seemed to be one man working and when he served us his hands didn 't look clean. I knew I was going to suffer for this experience and sure enough half way home I had to run and only made it to the bathroom in time. It is a shame that because this is a wee village this 'quality ' is all we can expect. Avoid like a dose of salmonella!"

Nice food at a good price with great friendly service from Manu. Right next to the harbour and local amenities... Highly recommended

We only popped in for ice cream for the kids after an hour or two at the park and it was awful. Run down, dirty, cramp and that smell

Ordered a breakfast, it was very nice and cannot complain about the food at all. But the tables are very close together and very flimsy, then my pet hate...a wobbly table! Some study furniture would tick the box for me.

Been a few times for breakfast or brunch. Sometimes there is 3 adults and a 3 year old with us. Staff are friendly and interact well with the little one. The food is nice enough, tried the fish done in milk once and was surprisingly tasty too. Will use it again.

I have always found the staff helpful and pleasant but only really stop in here for a bacon roll when I am in the area and short on time. I have tried the breakfasts before but the quality and quantity leave a lot to be desired considering the price being charged. Considering the holiday camp nearby they could really make a good go of the business if they tried a little harder.

On entering, the smell of stale fat is immediately off-putting. The menu is typical of a 1970s greasy spoon cafe. Unless you are into poor quality deep-fried snacks, I strongly suggest avoiding this place. The service is ok, but both the atmosphere and the food is unacceptably poor. It is a shame (and disgrace) that the seaside town of Cockenzie Port Seton does not have a single decent restaurant.

My partner and I visited a cafe on a beautiful sunny day in May. It was quiet when we entered, but we were greeted warmly. We decided to share a soup and toastie, which were both delicious. The only issue was that we should have asked for an extra spoon for the soup. The toastie came with a choice of chips or salad, and we opted for the salad, which was tasty and came with coleslaw. The portion sizes were generous for the price. The only minor downside was that the restroom could have been more fragrant and had some clutter. Overall, the cafe was good and we would return if we were in the area again. Thank you.

This is the sort of cafe that serves a purpose but does not feel like a treat. It's used by families and elderly couples getting their daily hot meal. The decor is dark and the fittings are tired and mismatched.We were just delighted to stumble on somewhere open, as our seven year old daughter was famished after a walk around Cockenzie Harbour (nearby) and her judo club. We were well out of our normal stamping ground so we decided to give it a try. We were given a kind and genuine welcome by the waitress. Lasagne was about £7 and came with chips and salad. Husband ate it all without complaint and it looked nice. I had an onion omelette which came with chips and salad for under £5. Sadly the...
