If you are looking for somewhere to stop for a home-cooked, delicious and satisfying lunch, then this is the place. I would imagine all provisions for breakfast, elevenses or a late lunch would be equally delightful and hit the spot. I can say this as the service is second to none, the food is cooked by the staff, one of whom is mum to the owner. This lady's commitment to the customer, the staff and to her daughter is second to none, sincere and honest. We had soup, stovies, sandwich along with coffees, scones and shortbread. Everything was delicious. This establishment is run by a real team of effective, efficient, focused staff who are straightforward, helpful and happy. The atmosphere is relaxing and a cafe where you would like to linger and I would definitely be a regular if I were lucky enough to live locally. This is a real find for people who prefer to avoid fast-food outlets and supermarket packaged lunches. Highly recommended on all aspects (especially the shortbread!) We will be back...

It would be nice if they stocked Scottish ice cream instead of English to help support local industry. I tried the maple and toffee cake it's was nice and moist but no flavour of maple whatsoever. Coffee was nice. I have posted menu pics. Update I wasn't concerned about the carbon footprint but rather local businesses. After checking out various cafe in the area I don't believe any are selling Scottish ice in Selkirk so I believe a Scottish ice cream seller would be happy to sell. No seller would refuse a business to sell it's products. As for closing kitchen early, it might be start practice for you. But I have been to many cafes in the borders and beyond and never had this issue even in the last hour of service. Your the first out 300+ cafes I have visited from northern England to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe only popped in for a quick hot drink and ended up having brunch! My mum is vegetarian and was recommended the Lentil soup by the wonderful waitress. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. My daughter had scrambled eggs on toast and I had the breakfast bap š. All items were delicious and it would have been rude to have left without sampling there delicious apple and cinnamon scones. We were made to feel so welcome, I also had my 4 month old baby with me. Assistance was give by the waitress by opening the second door and we were seated in an area that comfortably accommodated my pushchair. I was offered a highchair but declined the offer. The experience was so good that we returned the following day. On that day I discovered that it's a family run business. Honestly they were all so nice and super welcoming. I can not recommend this cafe enough. Thank you and we look forward to...
