"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 bottom was burned. My girl started off, enthusiastically, on her macaroni cheese and nearly polished it off before picking fault with it about a mustard taste (I think she was, by then, no longer hungry and wanting an excuse to leave the very large portion). It did indeed taste fine and, yes, it did have mustard in it. Okay chips but I hate getting little sauce sachets a bottle of ketchup would have been better. Good coffee. Us girls had tap water! There are a male and a female toilet. We found hem to be clean and a real trip down memory lane avocado green : DWill we go back? Maybe."

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.

This cafe is a great value option with a cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food is simple and homemade, but we found it delicious. The cafe was bustling during our visit, indicating its popularity. The server was attentive and quickly cleaned our table. Overall, a lovely spot perfect for breakfast.

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. View menu

I stopped by for a late lunch and it was delightful! Many of the menu items were sold out, but that just shows they cook fresh. I had the macaroni and my husband had the steak pie, both servings were very generous and had a delicious home-cooked flavor. There were a lot of seniors there enjoying the two special deals they offer. We will definitely be returning, and the prices were reasonable. It's great to support a small, local business.

Port Seton offers a lot to visitors with its nice walks, bustling harbors, and interesting architecture, as well as friendly locals. However, the cafe in question seems to lack personality. While the staff is friendly and welcoming, the decor is rather bland. The wall art for sale is a good touch, but it would be more fitting to see nautical-themed pictures and crafts in a seaside cafe. Adding some color to the walls and brightening up the tables or tablecloths would greatly improve the atmosphere. As the only cafe in town, it's important for the interior to reflect the warmth and helpfulness of the staff.
