Steampunk Coffee The Warehouse

Access to the front door was fine in a wheelchair but there is a small step into the building and only a temporary ramp available. You need to request this and it is placed at the back fire door. This is fine if someone can get in to ask for you! The chocolate, coffee and cake are delicious. The staff were very friendly and while it is a small space there is just enough room to get in and sit at a table downstairs in a wheelchair. There are several car parks close by with disabled parking and while the pavements in North Berwick are narrow they are navigable. The toilet wasn't used on this occasion but I noted I would have had to navigate a couple of doors to use it.

On a recent visit to North Berwick we went to the Steampunk café with my Brother who is in a motorised chair. This is potentially a great cafe, with an interesting interior and relaxed atmosphere. The food was good and the staff were very helpful. However, trying to manoeuvre a motorised chair within the space is challenging. There is a large central dining area in the middle of the ground floor of the cafe that is bar stool height and getting the wheelchair past this to a table we could all sit at was difficult and involved other customers having to stop eating, drinking and socialising to let us through. Unfortunately wheelchair access to a lot of businesses means accommodating a small manual wheelchair, if there was more space to manoeuvre a motorised chair we would love to go back.

A wooden ramp is in place by the main entrance. French doors give access to the main ground floor seating area so you need to open both doors for a wheelchair to gain access.There is an upstairs seating area too but no lift.
