What an amazing cafe plenty of gluten free options to choose from all very tasty mocha coffee and they post out gluten free item in the post whoop whoop what a find

Visited with some vegan friends having read good reviews and been recommended to try. It was a bit disappointing to find no cakes available that were vegan, they didn't have any nachos for the nacho dishes on the menu and ran out of plant milk. I had a weak cappuccino, and vegetarian chilli and rice which was tasty. The staff were really friendly but rather half hearted we felt about putting any effort into making food for folk who don't want to eat animal products. The veggie food was nice but not enough to warrant a trip to go and eat there when lots of other places do similar veggie dishes. Underwhelmed. I think it's perfectly possible to make tasty food and cakes that can be enjoyed by everyone. They don't need to overtly labelled as vegan if cafes are worried about putting people off in case they don't taste of much! It just takes a wee bit of imagination really.

Yes this is a little off the beaten track but well worth a slight detour Friendly warm welcome, all the food is gluten free and some is dairy free as well Great choice of food. Good value. Recommended

Oh, the joy of walking into a cafe and not having to totally explain about being gluten-free! We came here for lunch on our way home from a lovely weekend break to the Borders. My husband (who is non-GF) thoroughly enjoyed his lunch here,as did I. He had soup and I had the macaroni cheese,we then had cakes to take-away. Lovely service.great menu and whenever we are in the Borders again,a stop here will be a definite. The lady who served us has a great knowledge and you can ask her anything. Thoroughly recommend this cafe to Coeliacs and Non-Coeliacs alike.They also do some dairy-free items as well.

We've been to this establishment a few times now over the last year. It's always a very enjoyable, friendly experience. Lots to love whether your celiac or not. A great selection of gluten free food, or if you're like me, can enjoy a wheaten roll! On this visit I had a lovely bacon roll, my wife having a gf cherry scone. Both washed down with nice lattes. Can highly recommend and they even operate a rewards programme. One of the best gf cafes I know of in the Borders
