Cream Puff - Scottish Borders

Lovely little gem of a place! Friendly staff, great atmosphere with a mixture of locals and tourists. A fantastic variety of cakes. Very reasonably priced! Will definitely be dropping in again the next time we are passing by.

The staff were pretty miserable and I’m pretty sure our custom was an inconvenience to them. Then I was told I had to spend a minimum of £5 to use my card otherwise the lady behind the counter ‘wouldn’t make any money’ and it wouldn’t be worth her while… I didn’t have any cash so a friend and I pooled our orders as we only stopped for a coffee. It’s ok though the lady justified it as ‘everywhere does this with minimum charges’. Yep… maybe 5 years ago. Update the payment methods and be nice to people who are trying to give you money. Coffee was alright. I’ll probably go elsewhere next time I’m passing through.

We arrived here after a very muddy day's walking just in time for tea and delicious cake at the Cream Puff. This place seems to be the beating heart of the little town with lots of regulars all meeting for a gossip. The home-made fruit cake was really nice. The owner then went out of her way to make some sandwiches for us to collect the next morning. These were really good as well, and we took more of her lovely cakes with us on our walk.

My Boss just popped in for a coffee and cake and asked me to leave this review on his behalf . Have to disagree with someone else's negative comment below Jan and her staff are always happy and smiling with me . service is great , food is amazing Always a great place to visit. Jan’s mother is always lovely too and very friendly . From Rob , Carlisle

You may have to wait, but good things come to those who do. The venue is small but constantly busy which shows how highly it's rated. It's also inexpensive but thar's not necessarily why trade is so brisk. Service is friendly and if there's a delay it's explained. We've been away a week and eaten out regularly but this was the best of all.
