Brown Sugar Coffee Shop in Scottish Borders

Sadly now seem to be closed. Unfortunately the Main Street of Jedburgh offers nothing in the way of dog friendly cafes... the only town in our trip across central Scotland to have that issue.

First visit today. lady provided water and biscuit for our dog. Coffee and banana bread excellent. Very people and dog friendly

We called in on our travels north. We were the only ones in the cafe on a wet, chilly Saturday afternoon. I could not believe how quiet the place was. The lady and gentleman were amenable. We chose the tomato soup and bread. We wondered if the soup had a tinned tomato soup base with other ingredients such as chilli added? However, the bread tasted absolutely amazing! It was sourdough. Afterwards the gentleman gave us a loaf to take with us. My husband thought it was the best bread he’d eaten in a long time and we were able to savour it for a few days. We shared a flapjack. My husband found the coffee tasty and I enjoyed my cup of tea. I hope more customers visit this cafe on a Saturday afternoon.

Monday lunchtime and couldn’t find a single dog-friendly place to eat in Jedburgh, we were about to give up when a local shopkeeper recommended Brown Sugar. We were welcomed warmly, and so was the dog, service was quick and friendly. We both ordered the home-made tomato soup which was the best we’ve ever tasted. It came with thick chunks of the bread they bake on the premises, which was the perfect accompaniment.

popped in here today and had a lovely lunch, would absolutely go back! the panini's are lovely, and a great cup of tea!! The decor Could do to be brightened up a bit!

I stopped here to grab a hot chocolate on a chilly day. It was one of the best hot chocolates I’ve had.

Just down the street from the town square, this little place was the first we came across returning from Mary Queen of Scots house. It was a lucky find as it is clean, offers a great variety of quick choices and is reasonably priced. It is a coffee and light lunch place so those who expect a gourmet 5 star bistro should just keep on walking. We liked and appreciated its simple and quick menu and service.

Popped in for a coffee and soon wished we hadn't. The cafe had a terrible damp smell which was very off putting. Young girl at counter was obviously not wanting to be there. Service without a glimmer of a smile. Coffee luke warm and cake certainly not fresh. Several chills/ fridges sitting empty and switched off and a variety of " ornaments" that were simply dust collectors. Whole place needs a new lease of life.

Gluten-free Popped in to see if gluten free was available after for cake /coffee It was and gluten free caramel slice was delicious 🎂 Tea served in a china cup 👍👍 Lovely staff Will definitely return for lunch Lady was very helpful Highly recommend ✨✨✨✨

Great freshly baked bread served with good salad but quite expensive, so not surprised we were the only customers in the cafe. The shop setting isn’t very interesting and some work on decor would encourage more custom.

Cafeteria pequeña con acceso a perros ( para bien y para mal). Servicio cercano, ambiente agradable y café bueno, si bien es un local pequeñito y más para la gente de la ciudad que para el turista, pero servicio perfecto y adecuado. Probamos los scotish pie de la panadería y estaban muy ricas también.

Stopped in for a light lunch. Recommend the Carrot & Coriander soup. Also made our dog very welcome. Very nice find.

Lovely independent cafe with home cooked meals and artisan breads. Well worth a trip for breakfast lunch or a snack and to buy bread to take home. Would recommend checking for daily specials.

Very welcoming to me and my dog Food excellent, portions great, comfy seats, really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely come back again next time. Great quality coffee

Stopped here today on way back to Teesside, Had mushrooms on toast, plus pot of tea.Absolutely delicious, We call again and recommend to my biker mates.

Even though we just had quick tea for two, the service was nice and the tea was of good quality. We tried the Caramel shortbread which was outstanding, with an oat(?) shortbread as a base. The sandwiches and roles, as well as the cake looked very good and our neighbors on the table next to us, were quite happy with their order. Recommended as seats are the two armchairs were drinking tea from old porceillan feels even nicer.

This is a great place, with home made breads that taste amazing. We had a toasted wrap that was lovely - healthy, wholesome and filling. We really appreciated how welcoming they were to our pooch too. Highly recommended.

Heerlijk geluncht, verse broodjes en heerlijke gerechten. Zit er gezellig! Gewoon doen als je in de buurt bent!

We were served by what was the most petulant of waitresses, who literally huffed and puffed at every request (I asked for no butter because of the need to avoid dairy - met with rolled eyes), was told they wouldn't be able to provide a receptacle to heat a baby's milk bottle (were told that the bowls they had were "too shallow" - one of our party actually went into the kitchen and the cook provided a larger bowl) and upon receiving my non-dairy roll, they had replaced it with mayo which I hadn't requested - the look on her face when I asked for it to be taken back was priceless. By the end, it was actually quite comical at how rude she was being. Maybe she'd had a hard day but the place was quite empty for a Saturday.

Had rolls which were freshly made and well filled. Tea was served with china cups. Service was quick and prices very reasonable.

Small coffee shop in the centre of Jedburgh - friendly service and good food. Dogs welcome... even our two, who were rather damp at the time!

Go there for the great burgers or in the morning a bap with bacon and egss, bliss. They also sell great bread!

The uninspiring exterior hides a very pleasant, rustic cafe serving excellent food. Fabulous range of breads to buy.

I have never had a “panini melted tuna’ before, but this one was delicious. The service was very great and the price was okay. A dogfriendly coffeeshop, without the Dutch features

After visiting Jedburgh Abbey we needed a place to stop for lunch before our long drive home. We picked this little cafe purely because it was dog friendly and we were sf glad we did.

Lovely interior and friendly staff BUT so so cold. The young girl serving kept commenting on how cold it was but never put any heating on, there were a few free standing ones around - it IS winter after all . Very bad selection of sweet eats and mgt latte was super heated, took half an hour before I could start it. It's ok but could be much better.

Popped in for lunch when visiting the Abbey. Lovely tasting soup to warm us up. There were quite a few people in when we visited and there seemed to be lots of choice for people. No complaints from us. Pleasant traditional surroundings with friendly staff.

Small but pleasant cafe serving fresh food and homemade bread, I thought they had quite a large menu on offer, catering for both meat lovers and veggies. Food and service were very good.

un hamburger correct, sans plus, une serveuse peu enthousiaste...

We visited for a late lunch after checking out the dog friendly options in Jedburgh which seem to be very limited on a weekday lunchtime. Service was very friendly one of our party had a large vegetable soup which he enjoyed, I had a be excellent mushroom & Stilton burger which came with salad and good chips. The other half is gluten intolerant so had a cheeseburger without the bun (their burgers are 100% beef) with chips and salad and was equally impressed. They also do paninis and other options as well as takeaway options. Prices were good, portions large and tasty will definitely go back next time we’re in Jedburgh.

Good menu with lots of veggie options and choice of upgrading standard chips to sweet potato chips is great and I wish more places would copy their lead. I had sweet potato falafels with salad and a homemade sauce - delicious and healthy - which is often hard to find when eating out. Good sized pot of tea, and a cheese scone to take away for my afternoon walk. My dog was welcome as well, which was essential on a cold day because I wouldn't have wanted to sit outside.

Stopped for a light brunch and enjoyed lovely pea soup and homemade sourdough bread. Scones and cakes were ordered too and pronounced very tasty. Service was pleasant and friendly. Décor is a bit tired.

We came across this cafe on our way to the butchers. We were grateful as well, it’s got a 5 star hygiene rating and it allows dogs in.

We had a quick lunch and coffee. Bread looks amazing and tastes great. Dog friendly cafe as well which is an advantage.

Flat White was good and the food also looked good quality although I didn't eat here. Service was a little odd seemed to be ignored....and the wash room/toilets needed a good clean!

The scones were inedible, truly the worst I've ever tasted. Staff slagging off customers who had just left, their work and conditions - not good. The toilets were awful too! Plenty of other coffee shops in town to try.

Where to go for lunch in Jedburgh with three hungry teenagers? Well your search stops at the Brown Sugar Café.

Looking for a nice place for lunch on way home from Stamford, came across this lovely dog friendly coffee shop. Had a nice panini with side salad and a cup of tea. Good service and good food.

Two couples, stopped there today. Two of us had cheese scones - tasty. The other two had fruit scones with jam and cream. Yum. The cream is clotted, my favourite. Anyway, a really good experience. We'll go again.

prachtig oud pandje, heel gezellig ingericht en bijzonder hondvriendelijk! Het was erg warm en onze Ierse Wolfshonden werden gelijk voorzien van bakken water. Het personeel was onwijs vriendelijk. Lekkere koffie en thee. En de Schotse eigenaar heeft 8 jaar in Nederland gewoond en was buitengewoon onderhoudend, op een zeer plezierige manier!

quirky inside friendly service menu looks reasonable good teacake but expensive for this with just one smal pot of jam

Had meals in and the burgers were lovley also had takeout baugettes with chicken and they were absolutley lovley. Also welcome dogs

On the way back from Kirkcaldy to Leeds we needed lunch somewhere and remembered the name from a relative's mention . He was not at all a foodie so we were very pleasantly surprised ! All 3 of us had the most delicious & tender lamb & mint burger on a tasty warmed teacake with the extras - salad and sauce very carefully thought out and put together + thick cut chips . My son didn't think the coffee was of the same standard but it was real - ie not Nescafé !

My husband and I visited this restaurant/coffee shop for lunch. I didn't know what to expect but when we saw Angus Beef Burgers on the menu we decided to make this our main meal of the day. The burgers were fantastic- not cooked to a cinder, juicy, packed with flavour- just the way we like them. The atmosphere is casual; there was couple in with their dog that seemed to be regulars. It was just wonderful to have a really good burger and so unexpected in a little cafe. Even the bun was good!

Great food, especially the artisan bread. I can't recommend them highly enough. Family and pet friendly.

Always a warm welcome at brown sugar, food is always fresh and delicious, would definitely recommend 😊

on google several pubs in Jedburgh were dog friendly on visiting three we discovered they neither welcomed dogs or children. we stumbled on the quirky Brown Sugar and were made welcome and shown to a table. The restaurant had that feel of an antiques salesroom with an assortment of tables and chairs and nick knacks. Very good to see provision of toys and books for small children and water bowl for the dog. The staff were lovely. we sat near the kitchen and the smell of fat rather overpowered the room. The burgers both spicy veggie and meat were in lovely bread but overcooked. The chunky chips looked liked shop bought and the platter of assorted asian themed goodies felt like Mummy had been to Iceland. Ambitious offer not hitting the mark. Keep it simple and you'll become a real reason to visit.

This is a lovely cafe and most importantly, unlike seemingly every other establishment in Jedburgh welcomes dogs.

Absolute hidden gem, I had the full breakfast and it was amazing. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is brilliant. A real highlight during my short trip to Scotland!

After a quick google for dog friendly cafes we decided to stop here and want to rave about it.

This is the 2nd time we have visited this lovely little café in Jedburgh. The first time was earlier in the summer and it was very good then so we decided to return hoping it would just as good. We were not disappointed. The place is welcoming and cheery, the food is excellent and not expensive. Both times we went we had the salt and pepper squid which was delicious and the coffee was proper coffee. We sat outside on both occasions as the weather was good but it looked equally inviting inside. They also bake several different artisan breads which ae also excellent. We travel past Jedburgh 2 or 3 times a year in our motorhome and will definitely be returning for lunch here.

Good food on entire menu i would reckomend hete to any one as it is a amazing place food is good qualty esphly for price. I will be visiting again soon

We only had tea and cake here but the menu looked varied and good value. What we saw being served looked well presented. Also sells artisan breads and cakes that looked lovely too. Staff very welcoming.

Kleines Restaurant mit Backwaren-Verkauf. Gemütlich, ein bisschen eng. Freundliches Personal. Wir haben dort mit die besten Burger überhaupt gegessen. Leckere Pommes aus Süßkartoffeln oder normalen Kartoffeln. Tagessuppe und andere Kleinigkeiten. Die Backwaren (z.B. Scones, Brot, Shortbread) waren hervorragend.

We visited Jedburgh yesterday and it started to rain, so we headed for this cafe as there was a board...

Popped in here for a cuppa and then decided on lunch. Had a mixture of items between the 3 of...

Parecía un buen lugar para una taza de café, pero sentía engañar con señal wifi, pero una vez fuera indicando bebida ordenados dijeron que no funcionaba.

Este es un pequeño y muy estrecho poco. No es demasiado caro y la comida estaba bien. 12 personas y su completa.

Had a very nice coffee and tray-bakes/scones here on a Saturday lunchtime. The food being served looked really good, but having only just had a cooked breakfast we couldn't manage anything more! The place is very cute, and even better it is dog-friendly. They even brought over a water dish for the dog. The service was excellent, and the staff very friendly.

Had cycled from Newcastleton in pouring rain, we were so wet we thought no cafe would let us over the doorstep, but we were received warmly and even handed a towel each to dry our faces and hands.Friendly staff, delicious home made soup and fresh baked bread, traybakes selection incredible and quite the best large macchiato coffee I have ever had. How lucky Jedburgh is to have a cafe of this quality. We will be back!

We loved this cafe, but since it has been taken over with new owners, vsry poor,the decor has changed, poor selection of tables and chairs,waited quite a while to order, we ordered the breakfast, compared to the previous owners cooking, very very poor, everything was bland tasting, and to too it all, the girl who served us gossiped about last owner and his wife, very very bad business, never been in since, passed there today, lunchtime, and was 1 man in, reading his paper, with what i presumed was cup of coffèe ,,

Very dog friendly, catered for the dogs first - giving them cold water and a couple of dog biscuits - before they took our order! Food was superb and they bake their own artisan bread on site, which we. Ought a Spelt loaf and 3 huge cheese scones. All in all, a great place and we all I'll definitely go there again.

Kwaliteit koffie met wat lekkers erbij, niks mis mee. Jammer dat toen wij er waren het net druk werd en er maar 1 meisje in de bediening was. Levertijd was een beetje lang. Moet wel zeggen dat zij haar best deed

A good choice of quality burgers and some lovely homemade soups. Also great coffee and cakes. Very good and friendly service all at reasonable prices. Also dog friendly so deserve patronising.

Our party of seven stopped here for lunch--soup and sandwiches for most. Everything was scratch made. We especially liked the bread and went back afterwards to buy some of it. One of our number, who had the cheese plate (and is French), ended up talking to the Chef about cheese. The Chef brought him out a special piece of brie to try--a very nice gesture.Overall, probably our best meal in our week in Scotland: simple but tasty.

Good service. Good portions. Fresh ingredients. A great find.The only downside was they are dog friendly and a lady was there with a very noisy dog.

We had an enjoyable late lunch at this cafe. We had the cheese burger and chips. The burger was 100% Scottish beef and have to say it was delicious so would recommend. Although slightly dated decor it added to the quirkiness of the place, which we liked. The waitress and owner/chef were friendly and made us feel welcome. The only thing I could recommend is they play a little music in the background to kill the silence whilst enjoying our scrumptious burgers...we will definitely be returning.

We called in here to break our journey up to Edinburgh. Great coffee but the food was also really good. Service was quick and efficient and the people running the place were happy and made us feel very welcome. Don't be put off by the slightly run down exterior - the service and quality food and drink more than make up for it.

Very friendly and welcoming, great food too. They made my dog feel at home, the staff clearly enjoy having dogs around.

Stopped in Jedburgh for a passing coffee and stumbled upon Brown Sugar. Decor very dated and tired and on a cold day outside it was equally cold inside. Depressing atmosphere as a result of temperature and decor. THANKFULLY. our coffee was very hot and we quickly finished our cakes then requested that we transfered our drinks into take away cups to enjoy from the comfort and warmth of our car. Stange place with very slow service but nice hot drinks when they eventually came

Stopped for a bite to eat here and was very happy indeed. The food was delicious. Staff friendly and very pleasant. All the food looked very nice.

Our second visit. Lovely selection and good service. Looking forward to our third visit.Jedburgh has a lot to offer and the Brown Sugar cafe is always on our list.

Called in for lunch. OH had sausage, egg & bacon bap, I had brie, bacon & cranberry pannini which was served with a generous portion of salad. Fillings were generous & well cooked and we both really enjoyed them. Good mug of tea & coffee too.

We had two small dogs with us and they were very welcome in here. Given water and a treat. Food was lovely. Staff lovely.

This coffee shop must have changed hands in last 3 years, not as good as I remember.Now dog friendly which is ok if you dont mind. Prices very reasonable.

Used this coffee shop a few times and never disappointed. Their fresh breads are very tasty, made on the premises. Staff very friendly and full of local knowledge. One to visit !!!

This cafe has good food, but taking food away is a hassle! 15minutes wait for a box of chips, no apology for the wait. I've been in an ordered chips before and waited minutes, 5minutes max. If the wait is inevitable then a warning to say there will be a wait would be sufficient/an apology for the wait - I received neither sadly. Chips weren't even cooked properly to add to it, they tasted as if they had been cooked 3 times over, dirty oil. First time this has happened, normally are fresh and lovely. Staff are not the most welcoming either, one member of staff in particular is very abrupt and rude, no smiles nothing. Makes me and my colleagues feel as if we aren't wanted in there, that we are a burden to her. None the less the food is lovely.

Twee keer geweest in juli 2016 op doorreis van en naar New Castle tijden een rondreis in Schotland.De eerste keer per toeval hier binnen gelopen voor een snelle lunch, we zijn hierbij heel vriendelijk geholpen.De lunches die je er kunt krijgen zijn gewoon heel goed en worden snel vers bereid.Zelfs met de chef gesproken die Nederlands bleek te kunnen spreken en een persoon van de bediening die van oorspong uit Australië komt. Je hebt dan snel een vriendelijk gesprek.Persoonlijk vind ik het interieur en uitstraling van de Brown Sugar Coffee shop helemaal passen, wat mij betreft sfeervol!Vandaar dus ook op de terugreis, 2e keer, naar New Castle hier ook weer terug gekomen.

This is a short walk from the main car park. Seams to be a hit with takeaways.We had a nice table just inside next to the window. The food was freshly made to order, neither better half or I were disappointed. Would we go back, we surely would.

Reviews on here were pretty generous but we came away a bit disappointed. Atmosphere was lacking, food was fine if a little overpriced. Wouldn't rush back- sorry!

Well worth a visit if in Jedburgh. Fresh home made bread on sale. Brilliant food. Great cup of tea too. Parking available outside or in the main car park just a short walk. Excellent friendly table service.

The only dog friendly cafe in Jedburgh. Lovely cakes and wide selection of homemade food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and brought a bowl of water over for my dog.

Popped in for a late lunch on a wet Easter day trip. Staff could not be friendlier and food first class and very reasonably priced. Great see place!

Lovely wee coffee shop, a short, easy walk from both the Tourist information office and the Old Market Square in Jedburgh - lovely coffee and cakes of all sorts in the friendly and deceptively large interior as well as exterior tables for those brave enough to take their chances (it IS Scotland, after all!) Staff lovely, and they also welcome well behaved dogs.

Stopped off on the drive from Durham to Perth. Had a quick sandwich and coffee stop. Nice break to the journey and free parking for 45 mins outside... Would recommend. Mixture of locals, children. Very friendly staff.

Found this little gem on the 1st day of our holiday. Revisited every day because of the excellent coffee (freshly grounded), absolutely delicious food and very friendly staff and owner. The panninis came with a great selection of fillings. The pesto, cheese and sun dried tomato was especially yummy. We also had the burgers. All 100% beef and cooked to order. Absolutely delicious.The staff were very friendly and obliging.Highly recommend this great coffee shop.

Visited here for a coffee and bacon roll when i arrived in jedburgh. Lovely old tea shop with a modern twist. Very clean and friendly. Service was quick. They even make there own bread and have a varied lunch menu sit in and take away.

Stopping for lunch on our way home to Edinburgh, we stopped in Jedburgh and came across the Brown Sugar coffee shop by chance. There was a sign with an arrow from the car park, but it wasn't clear which way the arrow was pointing so we headed into town to find somewhere to eat, and there it was.Meal 1 - sweet potato and honey soup, with cheese and ham sandwiches. The sandwiches were like door stops, delicious fresh bread, and great ham, with a steaming bowl of soup which was lovely. Enjoyed for the simplicity of it.Meal 2 - pancakes with bacon and maple syrup - ordered because I had eaten a large breakfast and wanted something fairly light! Well, it was fantastic, though not light. A stack of pancakes with thick bacon slices in a pool of wonderful maple syrup - I polished the lot off without hesitation.Meal 3 - classic cheeseburger with a bucket of chips. Big chunky burger, plenty of salad, lots of oozing cheese and burger relish (possibly home-made), and a huge serving of chips. We expected a little silver bucket, with about 8 chunky chips - we were wrong - lots of chips in a decent size bucket.Not the cheapest coffee shop I've ever been in, but the price reflects the quality of the food, service and size of servings. It was a little chilly in the upstairs section when we first arrived, we were the only ones sat up there, but the staff very quickly recognised this and turned the heater on, so we soon warmed up.The weather in Jedburgh was miserable so we didn't stay to explore, but when we revisit in the summer we will definitely return to the Brown Sugar Coffee Shop.

Popped in a few times over our holiday in the Borders. Coffee was great the scones sublime! Lunch was awesome I had one of the many varieties of burger and wasn't disappointed the burger was a proper meaty affair. Very welcoming with the dog water was provided without asking. Also had home made bread on sale which having had some for breakfast this morning can also be thoroughly recommended!

Don't expect it to be open after 3 pm. After completing business in Jedburgh thought we would visit the Brown Sugar to be met at the door with the staff closing up. It was 3.10 in the afternoon!!

Stopped in Jedburgh to break a long journey and stretch our legs. Was lovely to sit in comfy chairs and have a drink without having to worry about what to do with the dog. The coffee was lovely and we shared a nice slice of cake while using the free WiFi to plan our next stop.They even handed out dog treats so she also gives it her seal of approval!

We have passed here so often however had no idea it was so big inside. Decor is also really nice inside. Good menu which cater for light to heavier lunches. Also takeaway option.We ordered 2 burgers (pork And apple & plain) and drinks, very quick service for drinks and food. Was served ready to eat well within 10minsVery very tasty and well presented food which came with chips. Well priced at under £20 in totalWe will be back

Popped in for a short stop and was pleasantly surprised. Coffee was great, lovely latte, and a great tray bake with caramel and nuts. Yummy! Staff were very friendly. I was particularly impressed how they cared for an older lady who was obviously a regular.

We had promised our Selves we'd call in for the Fish & Chips (which looked great value at a Fiver) on our return journey, but decided we'd have them, when we got home. Instead, we had two mugs of excellent coffee and a cheese scone that had been baked to perfection.Brown Sugar does Good Food, and they have a wide choice on their menu!I very much liked the way the owners have chosen the furniture; and the layout of tables. This cafe has an atmosphere befitting the ancient town of Jedburgh. We will return! Check out the closing times, which can vary between 3 and 4, in the afternoon! Early Birds will be assured of an excellent breakfast!

Popped in briefly for tea whilst visiting Jedburgh's two main attractions (the abbey and the jail museum). Nice cuppa, certainly, but the thoughtful and courteous service stood out most. Handily located close to the town's central square.

Visited here for first time and was pleasantly surprised by the inside. Perfectly decent coffee and cakes, prices not the cheapest.

We were travelling back from SE England to our Inverness home and this spot was one of our welcome breaks on a 630 mile journey. So great to park outside and then enter with our two dogs to a great smile from the two young ladies serving. We slumped gratefully into the two winged chairs close to the counter and were quickly offered a dog bowl of water for our travelling companions Harry and Isla Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Freshly brewed ground coffee, tea and two cakes were ordered . Great conversation with servers and owner of this 2 year old business. We are so happy to support such good local business and will return on our new exit and entry A68 route.

Friendly coffee shop, the cheese scones and fruit bread were delicious. Friendly staff too. The café offers take away food and drinks as well.

Very traditional . Lovely food and very welcoming staff :) varied menu. Love the traditional pasties can't get one better anywhere else

Lovely cuppa & cakes, staff very nice, lovely & relaxing & good place to meet friends & have a blether.
