• Scottish • North Berwick
Booked 13 times today
People come from near and far to eat, drink and bliss out at Scottish Thistle Award winning Drift, a unique coffee house with breathtaking views over unspoilt miles of Firth of Forth coast and the Bass Rock. Drift is perfect for walkers, cyclists, day trippers and tourists (we’re half a mile away from Tantallon Castle) and very popular with locals too. Everything is freshly made, and, as an agritourism business born out of a passion for food and drink, we love strengthening the connections between the land, sea and the table. Famous for our floor to ceiling windows offering up the breathtaking views lots of customers appreciate a table with this view uninterrupted. When booking opt for the 'Window Sea View' tables. If these are not shown they are sadly already taken. All other bookable tables do however also offer a sea view and each one differs from each other.

    A lovely chance to sit at one of the window tables (we'd been able to pre-book) and enjoy delicious breakfast rolls and coffee. Lovely cakes to take away for an afternoon treat. Friendly staff. Wonderful vista. What's not to love?!

    Loved Little Capo. Small, intimate, and perfectly moody, with a focused menu that doesn’t overwhelm you and great wine and cocktail selections. The focaccia and whipped ricotta were a delicious start, but the trout was the star of the show. I ordered the bucatini, which had just the right little kick. My mom had the risotto—RICH, in all caps, but delicious. The kind of place you’re already planning to come back to before you leave.
