Pentland Hills Cafe Express

We had great paninis here at the end of our walk, one vegan, one vegetarian and they were both fresh and delicious. This was an easy place to grab a bite. Thank you.

This is such an awesome cafe. The staff are always lovely despite the place being busy all the time. The cakes are to die for. The coffee is beautifully prepared and delicious. Lots of seats inside and outside. The fact this is located right by the car park to one of the nicest walks in the Pentlands is simply amazing. Long walk and reward with a huge slab of cake and a coffee :)

Absolutely lovely little cafe! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Their cakes are amazing—we especially loved the honey cake and the plombir cake, both incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The coffee was very good, rich and smooth, just the way we like it. A perfect spot for a relaxed treat. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place with good food, friendly owners, and an excellent espresso. Highly recommended after a walk (and I dare say it’s worth a trip just for the coffee and cakes).

Very good selection of sandwiches, cakes, etc. Good coffee, too. Very tasty panini with cheese, tuna, and mayo. It came with a lovely salad. Friendly and chatty staff.

Cannot comment of the visitor information centre as we were out of season while visiting... However, I can tell you that this location is beautiful with some lovely walks (make sure that you look at the map which indicates the states of the paths... Which range from small pavements/roads all the way through to mud pits!!!!!) I particularly like the parking honesty box (2 contribution). I will say that even though we went off season the car park and surrounding area was packed! That might just be that everyone else was also out for a boxing day walk though. Basically a really good walking day out for all levels of experience! (And toilets are available too which is really handy too!!!)

We had a lovely lunch break at this wee hidden gem. We had the soup of the day, a panini and the meal of day. A lovely Italian recipe that tasted fantastic. The owner is very friendly and both felt so cosy. What a perfect wee hidden place before or after enjoying a walk at the reservoir. Thank you for this new moment and we’ll definitely come back.

We went for a walk around the reservoir and needed some scran after burning some calories. We went into the pentland hills cafe express and wowsers the food was sensational! Had some lovely coffee and the best chicken noodle soup we have ever had , homemade stock from real roasted chicken, simply outstanding ! Cakes looked amazing too, and the place had a great vibe . Do yourself a favour , go in immediately..........WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS, GO NOW!!!
