Food Scene

The best croissants in the city (they rival any we've had in France!), plus other delicious pastries and great coffee. You can get your goods to go or hang out in the lovely space. There's sometimes a line, but it's worth the wait!

This place has great biscuits, coffee, and other brunch-y items -- and you know they're great because there's often a line out of the door. You can also get drive-thru coffee here.

Drinks & Nightlife

Fun Scottish-themed bar with a fish 'n' chips shop alongside. If you like a fruity-but-not-too-sweet cocktail, try the North Berwick Fizz. Lots of Scotch options too in addition to beer and wine.
