Picnic Coffee Shop - Carta

3rd visit. Great little Italian daytime cafe selling soups, hot food, salads, sandwiches, cakes and great coffee. I loved the ciabatta sandwich with guanciale. Cured pork cheek with a unique flavour, completely different to pancetta or proscuitto. Thumbs up.

This cozy restaurant is the perfect spot to warm up with some delicious hot food and hot chocolate on a snowy day! The food is top-notch and the Luxury Hot Chocolate is out of this world. The staff is incredibly kind, especially the young girl who accidentally spilled tea on herself (I hope you're okay!).

On New Year's Eve, we stopped in South Queensferry on our way home and were fortunate to find a table at this restaurant amidst the busy crowds. The service was quick and welcoming, and the lunch menu was perfect. Our drinks and food arrived promptly, the scones were delicious, and the haggis rolls received such rave reviews that my sister is inspired to try making her own. It was excellent value for money.

Stopped here after discovering Queensferry, was exactly what we needed after a short walk around the harbour. Catered really well for people of all dietary needs and they are happy to acommodate, really surprised they had vegan cheese, worked nicely in my delicious panini. Without a doubt, nicest place in Queensferry for a short break, staff are very welcoming and caring makes the whole thing a genuine gem of a rest. Will deffo return

We've visited several times and keep meaning to write a review, so here we are! The Picnic is warm and welcoming and the staff are clearly well trained by the owners (who are always around and working) to give the customer a memorable visit. The food is freshly prepared to order and delivered to your table piping hot, as are the coffees and teas etc. We've enjoyed breakfast and lunches here in the warmer months (weeks) we can sit outside and observe the comings and goings of SQ which is a great place to live and to visit.

I’ve been coming here for the last couple years from when they used to be on the high street and now the kiosk by the bridges. They have an amazing selection of both non vegetarian and vegetarian sandwiches/soups etc. The owners are so so lovely, kind and friendly. They are very passionate and it shows in their food. I’ve never been disappointed ciabattas and paninis are delicious!! Definitely worth a trip rain or shine and beautifully situated by the bridges. Ample free parking and scenic views make this one of our favourite places in south queensferry where the high st is so congested. Ver carta

Been here a few times as I live in the area. yesterday was appalling... I got served tea with milk and should have been without. I went to the counter and politely asked the chap with the black beard for a replacement, he looked so angry and didn't even apologise! he shouted when the new one was done and it was so hot I had to leave it for 10 minutes to cool down only to be told they closed in 15 minutes.. (apparently the dishwasher was also broken and it was in a takeaway cup) there were clean cups on top of the coffee machine. I don't know about you, but tea in a paper cup isn't my cup of tea. Not the first time that my friends received bad service and rudeness. If you don't like your job,...

Prior to arriving in S. Queensferry we had done some research on TA to give an idea of what to expect in terms of tea-shops/cafés. All of the establishments along the High street seemed to get very positive reviews on paper, so we had high expectations for our visit to the Picnic Coffee Shop. Small interior and good selection of cakes on display. We ordered scones with jam and cream together with drinks. Weather was OK, so we sat outside to eat our order. Over the years we have sampled many scones from numerous locations, and one can immediately tell a good from a bad one. Don’t know whether this was an off day, but the scones did not taste home-made – more like a defrosted one which was col...

We only discovered that this charming cafe offered gluten-free options on the final day of our holiday. If we had known earlier, we would have tried more of the delicious offerings available. However, we did enjoy a gluten-free cake, as they had a great selection of pre-packaged cakes. The menu also includes paninis and jacket potatoes, and the staff appeared to be knowledgeable about Coeliac disease, so I believe they would be able to accommodate dietary needs well. My partner, who does not have Coeliac disease, tried a scone and found it to be delicious. There were also plenty of other tempting cakes to choose from. The prices were reasonable compared to other cafes, despite a customer beh... Ver carta
