Baytree Café in Scottish Borders

Food is brilliant so is the coffee and tea really relaxing cafe always in the borders area on days off

Great food, fast service and friendly staff

Food was amazing. Standard of service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble.

Such a lovely place - front of house were so attentive (never got her name but one lady noticed I'd come in with young kids and brought out colouring paper & crayons - thank you!). Breakfast was excellent value for money + traybake was unreal! Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed a great meal served by excellent staff.

Lovely food and a nice atmosphere. Great start to the weekend 😄

Delicious food and great service as always!! 😊

As usual excellent food served by warm, friendly staff

Don't normally write reviews but lunch was really excellent. Lentil soup thick and delicious and venison pie fabulous! Even the mash tasted really good. Service also impeccable. Gold star in my opinion!

Had a breakfast roll, delicious!!!

Really nice place and staff very friendly, nice meal but to much cheese on the toasties and the cakes was very nice

Breakfast is delicious. Staff lovely, friendly and cosy.

Good food, friendly service, lots of seating

Good, big menu. Great quality. Fast service abs friendly. Handy playpark outside.

Always a pleasant garden centre restaurant to go to. Lovely food and service.

Absolutely recommend here for your breakfast.

Nice service Nice food Good prices Good for a casual lunch I would recommend giving it a try

New to the area we called here for breakfast today. Cafe open from 9 but full breakfast not available until 10. Well worth the wait however. Huge breakfast made with quality produce was delicious. Service excellent and staff very friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating areas available. Scones and traybakes looked appetising too- to be tried on another occasion.

Nice restaurant/café, part of a small garden centre. Food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. A very good choice of options available, lovely selection of cakes. Service is friendly and efficient. Nicely decorated and pleasant atmosphere, could do with curtains at the windows to help with internal noise reduction though, as currently the lack of any soft furnishings makes it very noisy. Well worth a visit for a quality lunch or afternoon tea, coffee and cake.

Nice little cafe with excellent staff.

Perfect food, perfect service and five star service.

Very nice breakfast and great staff / service

Took my Mum and Dad for lunch today, very busy so I was glad we booked. The food was delicious, we had sthe scampi, fish and the macaroni, all beautifully cooked and very generous portions. Nice that you're able to get a small portion too. Very reasonably priced. we will definitely be back.

Lunchtime visit to the Potting Shed. I had the quiche, Husband the pie and Mum Scampi and Chips. All 3 dishes were very good, with the most delicious crispy chunky chips. Highly recommend the quiche and pie. Generous portions, as none of us had room for dessert. But we did takeaway some of the delicious tray-bakes to have with an afternoon coffee later. Would definitely recommend booking if you want to eat inside at lunchtime. Dogs only allowed at tables outside.

We found this little treasure via trip adviser in the garden centre approx half aile from the town centre. We had super toasties for lunch then a fantastic tray bake and best ever tasted cherry scone for pud. Would definitely return

Called here on the recommendation from a friend for breakfast. What a lovely little place and the food was just amazing and tasty, the breakfast was cooked to order and omg what you get for the price is fabulous can’t wait to call again

Still go regularly after all these years.Great hard working staff who aim to please always. Their kindness is appreciated. Gorgeous scone again today. Big thanks.Respect to you all.Gilly T.

The place was clean and well kept. The staff were kind, happy and accommodating. The food was brilliant, served hot and even offered small portions on some items which pleased my mum.

We dropped by just before they closed so missed out on their pie menu (!). However, it was airy, clean and not too busy. Had delicious tray bakes. Lovely staff. Entrance through the garden centre.

Light and airy cafe with good menu and excellent food. Another excellent place for lunch in Duns.

Went for lunch with our Greyhound. A very warm welcome, great food and good prices. Will be back and would highly recommend!

Friendly and very prompt service! Breakfast was well worth the money! Traybakes are to die for!! Keepup the good work guys, we will definitely be back! 👌

This place really needs some training in food safety !, place looks lovely but allergies are ignored even though there are signs stating “tell us of any allergies” I asked a man at the till what cake did not contain nuts as my partner has a severe allergies and was served a Maltesers cake being assured it was nut free and the staff even confirming with the chef this was the case, upon getting this home my partner went into anaphylactic shock !! And Realised there was not only nuts in this but it was full of them as if it was one of the main ingredients !!!! Luckily he didnt eat much and is okay now but this kind of service is not acceptable and could lead to death ! . PLEASE TRAIN STAFF ON ALLERGIES!!

Wow! We enjoyed the best cooked breakfast today that we’ve ever paid for anywhere. The ambience in this restaurant is warm, cosy and welcoming. The staff are very professional and friendly. The produce was second to none. Butcher sausage and bacon was delicious. Fresh farm egg. The classic breakfast was delicious. Cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. Great value for money at £6.50. See you again.

Nice little cafe, due to the size of the place the menu is quite limited but the food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed our first visit since the reopening surroundings look good and food was lovely, particularly the chips! Will be back again soon

Having regularly visited this place prior to lockdown I was so disappointed to see that food standards and quality had fallen drastically. On the first occasion I had a so called baked potato with tuna. it was not a baked potato as it had been done in a microwave and the meagre addition of a few salad leaves was derisory. I then had a scone - they've shrunk! - and were doughie! The second time I ordered fish n chips with mushy peas. IT WAS THE WORST FISH AND CHIPS I HAVE EVER HAD! The batter was soggy and the fish watery and lukewarm. The mushy peas were again done in the microwave and were solid! The bread and butter was limp and lacked butter. On this showing, things will need to improve drastically before I go back - if I go back!

Great menu choices and the food was delicious! The service was excellent and the staff were so friendly. Will definately be back next time I'm in Duns!

Service very poor sat an hour b4 we got wot we ordered even with one of us a diabetic n telling them twice it was a case wen its ready so I take it they don't cater 4 DIABETICS folk. WEN WE EVENTUALLY got our lunch WE WERE 1ST IN LAST 2 GET OUR LUNCH ,mac n cheese 2 plate of sandwiches 1 caesar chicken salad 2 Coca-Cola 1 in brew 1 water don't think I will rush back not happy

Wonderfull place,lovely people,great service ,amazing collegues, 5 star team

Before visiting the Jim Clark museum we lunched here. I had soup and a sandwich. Tasty, filling and good value. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Since moving to the area a few months ago we have been regular customers, usually for a coffee and a scone. We've also sampled the soup and sandwich combo. All delicious and serve with a smile and pleasant chat.

(Traducido por Google) Encontré un pelo en mi comida que era largo, así que definitivamente no es asqueroso (Original) found a hair in my food was a long one so defo not mine disgusting

Went in with 3 other people and ordered soup with a sandwich. The 3 other people got there food however when I asked for mine they said it I had not ordered?????? Instead of saying I am sorry it was all of my fault and they had now run out of soap. Was most applaud by there attitude of the staff

(Traducido por Google) Como usuaria de una silla de ruedas eléctrica que generalmente está sola, me encantó tanto la accesibilidad como la amable bienvenida. Nada era demasiado problema. De ninguna manera fui la única persona que recibió tanta atención individual, pero debo admitir que marcó una gran diferencia para mi disfrute. Un delicioso café, junto con un periódico para leer, maravillosamente relajante. Me acabo de mudar a Duns, y este encantador café definitivamente será uno de mis futuros lugares. (Original) As an electric wheelchair user who is usually out and about on her own, I was delighted by both the accessibility and friendly welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. I was by no means the only person to receive such individual attention, but I must admit it made a huge difference to my enjoyment. A delicious coffee, along with a newspaper to read - wonderfully relaxing. I have only just moved to Duns, and this lovely cafe will definitely be one of my future haunts.

I visited this cafe with my sister, brother and sister in law on Monday beginning of December. We ordered a combo and soup on its own. We were given 1 roll and the assistant made a catty remark that we could share that as well as we were sharing the sandwich. To cut long story short other customers were served before us and then we only received one soup. When questioned, the waitress said she had no record and they were out of soup that we ordered. She was very rude and grudgingly gave me money back She was rude and arrogant. I certainly won't be giving them my custom again.

Nice friendly staff. Good food for a light lunch.

Coffee cake wasnt cooked it was awful

Lovely breakfast and staff lovely too.

Lovely coffee, toasted teacake and friendly staff!

Service is too slow the time your meal comes your hot drinks are cold

Nice and cosy the cherry scone and latte coffee were just the way we like them. Not our first visit and it won't be the last followed by a walk round the garden centre

Very tasty well presented cafe food, airy conservatory setting with outdoor seating if the weather allows. Friendly staff. 😁

Tasty fresh food presented well, friendly staff, will go back.

Popped in for lunch with my wife while out on a long cycle. We go to a lot of cafes, however both of the sandwiches we ordered were first class, lovely thick fresh bread and absolutely jammed with filling. Washed down with a large slice of cherry pie which was also Superb!Margaret and the other girls working were very friendly and helpful. Excellent cafe and nice setting in the garden centre. Highly recommended if passing by!

Amazing breakfast. Very nice place

Really nice fresh produce used in breakfast (especially tasty sausages) and good strong coffee. Well worth a visit.

Brilliant. Bright, airy, delicious food and lovely staff. Highly recommend

The kinder cheesecake was amazing. The coffee is good too. Very handy as it's just round the corner

This is in a garden centre and is a bright and airy cafe.The staff were friendly and efficient and the prices ok.They even have a "white coffee" on the drink menu and I can't remember the last time I saw that.When you go in you see the counter and a few cakes and tray bakes etc and it is easy to not even notice the larger meal menu until you have got your food and sat down at a table.Nice food and recommended.

My friend and I always visit the cafe on a Friday afternoon, and with every visit it is always a warm welcome and friendly service through out.My friend is disabled, and all the staff are always happy to help with any requirements we have.We always look forward to our visit!

We Visited the cafe on Saturday, when we went in it was so busy and there was a wait, but the girls on the till were so polite and friendly, they really made us feel welcome. The staff were very helpfull and advised us very well. It certainly lives up to the rating, and the hot chocolate was amazing. We certainly will be back. Thanks for making our visit very delightful.

I can't get over how delicious the Pearsons big Scottish breakfast is. Great value, so tasty. We were so lucky with the weather this morning, we sat outside while our 2 year old played very happily in the play area. It's so hard to entertain a toddler & eat out, it was a big treat to come to Bay Tree Cafe. The staff were very friendly & helpful advising us what to have, throughful bringing an extra plate. Really enjoyed the coffee too. Big tastie portions & very reasonable.

Scones were delicious very quiet

We had the quiche with salad and chicken burger, the chicken was pre cooked and re heated and brown around the edge where it had dried out in the fridge, and the pastry on the bottom of the quiche was not properly cooked, the coleslaw was overdone with mayo so just looked terrible on the plate and was not nice, the cooking has been a hit or a miss for some time since they changed the woman who used to do the cooking so we would return but only for coffee and a scone which is a shame as we like to spend our money locally if we can.

Nice food & coffee. Friendly staff.

Lovely place, beautiful cakes. Really clean and friendly

There isn't a lot of choice in Duns if you're looking for a quick coffee or a snack, so I've been in the Bay Tree Cafe a few times over the past couple of years. The menu may change and the tables may have been moved about but it has always struck me that the way the place is run is distinctly unprofessional.

Has it changed hands? Our visit this afternoon didn’t live up to the 4.5 star trip advisor rating. Dried out chocolate cake and cheap machine coffee. The staff were busy mopping the floor and shutting down half the cafe. They need to decide whether they are open till 4 and tidy up when they’ve closed, or shut at 3. Unpleasant and a waste of a tenner.

Nice little cafe with friendly staff and good food.

Baytree cafe very good food best prices in the area

Waited an hour four 3 chicken burgers and salad will not be back! Very disappointed when it arrived had no taste!!!

Regular mornin drop in lovely place lovely staff and good food

Amazing wee cafe. We go in at least twice a week with my dad who is in a wheelchair and they are always so accommodating with his needs etc. Their food and cakes are amazing 😍

The food was very good but very disappointed with the menu

We have been to the cafe on numerous occasions, and it's a great place for a bite or a meal. We have no problem in nominating it to family and friends.

Highly recommend a visit to the Battered Cafe and to the garden centre.

Good food and friendly service.

Back at the baytree for the fourth year.

A warm friendly welcome from very helpful staff makes this a great place to stop for coffee, cake or even more. It takes a bit of finding through a maze of garden centre paraphernalia but it is worth the search. Clean, well presented and a homely atmosphere help to make this a wee undiscovered hideaway. Make sure to sit well inside as the automatic door can allow a howling gale to cool your soup if you sit too close.

Been many times before food always excellent but today the 3 baked potatoes where hard and not cooked properly hubby had a bad tummy bud saying that never had problems before

Lovely cafe with delicious food , friendly and helpful staff. The chairs are very heavy so usually scrapped across floor very noisy and echoes around the cafe even worse when a child is playing with them 😨. Would still recommend it.

Nice coffee & lovely summer fruits cheesecake 👍

Lovely place food is good as well. Had breakfast and I struggled to eat it all.quite a big portion but worth the visit. Cakes fresh baked as well as wife got warm cherry scones her favourite.

Fantastic place to eat, love going to the café with my young son. Was a brilliant place to meet when all the kids were babies. Has a fantastic park so we can eat outside whilst the kids play. Great place!

Excellent, informal nice atmosphere - attached to garden centre / hardware / builders store / pleasant choice of food.

This really is a "little gem" of a Café! From the road through Duns, and the signs into Pearson`s Garden Centre, you wouldn`t realise that such a delightful little Café awaits you. We visited on my birthday, as wanted a small lunch somewhere local, and we were not disappointed with the selection available and the presentation of the meals. Thoroughly enjoyable visit ~ and definitely down for many more visits. Have to mention the garden centre which is well worth a browse around. Good display of plants, well stocked too. Little shop with a mixture of goods to suit all tastes and varied prices to suit all pockets. Thank you for a super birthday visit!!

Friendly service with a smile, good coffee and scones and very reasonable prices . Lovely garden centre to look round as well.

This cafe is amazing. You can bring your dogs and sit in shaded areas. The staff are friendly and helpful. The main courses are varied and imaginative with large portions of cakes and scones. Everything is homemade attractive and made with care and attention.

Macaroni cheese x 2, blt panini plus 3 drinks £21?!? Amazing food, huge portions and excellent service. Perfect

After a lovely coffee chat with a friend in the sunny comfy seated outside area with or without parasols .Cater for all.Got a carry out petit pain fresh roasted chicken and salad roll....eating now....perfecto. ...fresh and filling! Highly recommend. ..thank you Kirsteeee! Do visit. Gilly a regular. PS Cheesecakes to cry for!

It was a busy morning here at the Baytree Cafe. The sun was shining and all my stomach could think of was a bacon and tomato sandwich.

I can not fault this place great food backed up with friendly service

I visited yesterday Tuesday 6th Feb 2018

It is usually easy to get parked and the herringbone arrangement means it is easy to open the car doors. There is a short walk through the shop and part of the garden centre but it is level. Wheelchair access is easy except for the toilets. There is a step up into the gents. The staff are friendly and they work hard to provide an excellent service. The food is freshly prepare and so there may be a short wait at busy times. It is well worth the wait as the food is excellent and the helpings are generous. You should be able to find something to your taste from the menu. I would happily recommend this cafe

Perfect stop for morning coffee. Lovely home baking, especially the tray bakes and the scones. Staff are friendly and helpful, too.

The Aquafit clients from the swimming pool had their lunch at this café. The service was excellent, the food was of high quality and less expensive than other locations nearby. Not going to win a Michelin star, but good reliable food.

A delicious Christmas lunch ; beautiful food & wonderful service. Would recommend to anyone .A very special day out.

A wonderful afternoon tea with a superb selection of glorious sandwiches, quiche, cakes, scones, clotted cream, jams, fresh strawberries, raspberry fool and unlimited tea and coffee. Brilliant service and family friendly surroundings with a safe play area viewed from the cafe. Who could ask for anything more. Book 24 hours in advance to ensure a real treat.
