Ahh - it's all about food!!!
Another weekend - another cake fest. We've had friends visiting this weekend and as they were interested in all things ornithological we thought of a trip to the beach out at Gullane in East Lothian. As well as the delights of a Bethany shop, a fine butcher and a great beach - there is the delight of Falko - a German patisserie.
Excellent coffee - despite the views of our US cousins - not from a chain - accompanied by a yoghurt scone which was light as a feather. This was accompanied by butter and two types of jam - mmm. One of our team felt that the fruit in his cake was so refreshing that it meant is was almost beyond indulgence. I have to say that my scone and coffee came to three ponds sixty pence - but it was lovely.
Even at 11:30 on a Sunday we just managed to get a seat as can be seen from the queues which were there by noon.
It would be quicker to travel to Gullane and then queue to get in that branch than it would be just to queue for the one in Bruntsfield - I swear they pay people to sit there for the whole day, because I never see people going in or out.
ReplyDeleteAhh Mr Hickory - a trip to Bruntsfield for cake is on the cards as never been to that part of the Falko empire.
