Caberston Cafe in Scottish Borders

This place is awesome! Great food, good vibes! Big fire in front to dry off in front of when come down from tracks wet....happy days!

Winter day in November. Restaurant very cold. Radiators not operating. Only apparent menu pinned to wall at servery with very small print.and difficult to read. Cheese and chutney toastie. white cheap bread, tasteless cheese, chutney very nice.,diced salad fresh but placed on plate with bare hands, four Pringles. Come on! You could do better than that . Menus on tables with request to order at counter. Decent bread from a baker - wholemeal, sourdough, seeded or anything else. Choice of brown.or white cut a bit thicker to look better. Invest in a reasonable cheddar. Chunkier salad - perhaps a bit of fruit in it - grapes, blueberries orange. Make it a bit different. Crisps - crinkle cut? -would look better than four stacked Pringles. Think about it. Above all, heat the place and if the system is broken tell people and apologise -they will understand.

So. welcomed. Elderly friend and myself only needed light lunch---- no problem. Was exceptionally friendly and lunch was fresh and nicely presented.

This is a hidden gem of a place where the food is wholesome and scrumptious. You’ll receive excellent customer service and will want to return time and again.

Called in for lunch during a recent cycling trip. I had messaged the owner in advance to check out gluten free options as I'm coeliac. I had the club sandwich, it was excellent. I had gluten free cake which was very nice. The coffee was also very good. It was all so tasty we called in again 2 days later.

This place is a real gem. Not fancy, but great home style food. LOVE their soups and hubby swears by the BLT sandwich, best he’s ever had. Great selection of freshly baked cakes, loafs and scones. A trip to Home Basics and then lunch here is always worth the drive ;) The

We are not local and have not been here for a few years but our days out are usually around the Borders area so we decided to come to Caberston for coffee. We had always been seated outside previously when we had the dog and the service was excellent. Good to see this is still the case. The choice on the munu is very good, my partner is a great fan of cheese scones and the Caberston cheese scone went straight to the top of his list. The choice of cakes was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee cake. We're getting on a bit now but as long as as my partner is able to drive we will definitely be back. Helpful friendly staff and great food, what's not to like.

Popped in for a coffee and had a cheese scone. It is was very cheesy, fresh and light. Best scone I have had in a long time.

Definitely worth another visit. The Scotch Broth is the best Iv tasted, to be fair Iv had a few bowls in my lifetime. Friendly, Quality food and coffee, approachable and cosy, what more do you want. 10 Motorbikers say thank you.

Lovely friendly staff and good home cooking soup and cheese scone always a favourite. Decided to have Amassive mince pie which was very unusual but gorgeous! Can you send me the recipe🤣

Every time I visit this cafe it never disappoints. Food and cakes are always superb. The staff are always friendly and give such a warm welcome. It's a must to try out.

Very unhappy, charging full price for takeaway items. Young waitress with long brown hair was very rude pulling faces. Completely overcharging.

Very overpriced. Charging full price even though I bought takeaway items. £7 for a panini ! Rude staff, Been coming here for years and I’m very disappointed. Wouldn’t recommend.

Lisa and staff went out of their way to provide a delicious afternoon tea for our family of ten when our son partner and her daughter were on a visit from U.S.A Food was excellent and was even provided with vegan meal for one. Lasting memories to take back to America Thank you again

Passing through, and stopped for a coffee in exchange for 'using the facilities' Such a great discovery. Plenty of parking. Courtyard area with outside seating, so fine to take the dog. Good coffee and an alarmingly difficult decision: which cake to choose? Opted for cherry and coconut, and was not disappointed!

Food is good, Not happy that they randomly decide to charge full price for takeaway items instead of the normal takeaway prices. To argue it’s because the cafe is ‘busy’ makes no sense.

Absolutely fantastic place. Fajitas and club Sandwich were epic. Cakes looked amazing. Outside seating area is huge with super comfy seating. Can't wait to go back.

Visited this cafe for the first time since Covid lockdown. Delighted to find they still serve good coffee and delicious home baking at very reasonable prices. Pleasant staff and a lovely outdoor seating area for warm days like today.

We stopped off at Caberston Farm Coffee Shop for a light lunch on a Friday in September. We sat outside, a table for four. Lovely coffee shop with home-made soup, sandwiches and cakes. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Stayed in the cottage at Caberston farm for a family holiday and used the coffee shop a lot during our stay. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious! We tried lots of different food- breakfasts, lunches and cakes. The cakes are...

We have passed this coffee shop several times but finally stopped off and went in. I'm so glad we did. It's much bigger inside than it looks, the food was fantastic and the service was great. We'll definitely be back.

Place was busy which was great to see. Unfortunately not as pleasant a visit as our original. On entering the cafe we stood with no welcome or eye contact whatsoever. We actually discussed leaving. Eventually the lady looked at us with her notepad up and ready, I assumed I was just to start ordering food but she didn't even say hello. Food was ok. Soup, cake and coffee really good but tense atmosphere and customer service was non existent. Even when we stood up to leave, another waitress failed to ask how our meal was or thank us/say goodbye. Generally a let down.

My wife and I eat at this place fairly often. Today as usual, the food was excellent. We both had the roasted red pepper soup and a sandwich combination. My concern is, that the blonde lady, who was preparing our sandwiches, cleaned her hands on a cloth, then wiped them on her apron and then carried on with preparing our food. With the current coronavirus situation, this was highly unsuitable. The hygiene needs to be sorted out in this cafe.

I’ve visited the Caberston Farm coffee shop on several occasions now and it never disappoints. Always for lunch, it provides a simple, varied menu, catering for all and very good for those who have gluten free issues. Staff are so helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Everything freshly prepared and good value for money. Never had an issue with parking outside of the premises. Can highly recommend

Met a friend for lunch today. The food was as good as usual and the coffee the best around. The new owners Lisa and Ben couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly. They have definitely brightened up the place. All the best with ur new venture and will be in regularly

Stopped here on our way home from Peebles on a Saturday morning. Ordered coffee and breakfast rolls (with an extra filling). Order taken quickly and arrived after a short wait. I had bacon & haggis roll and it was perfectly cooked as I asked for the bacon crispy. Really tasty - best haggis I’ve had for ages! Hubby had sausage & tattie scone and enjoyed every bite! Cost just over £11 for 2 double breakfast rolls and 2 coffees, very reasonably priced. Only a couple of small negatives - the size of the coffee cup - tiny! (Next time he’ll ask for a mug). Secondly, it wasn’t very warm inside as we sat with our jackets on so didn’t stay very long. They also allow well behaved dogs (front part of the coffee shop) which is a huge bonus if you’re enjoying the local hillwalking. Toilets spotlessly clean. Plenty off road free parking too. Would recommend and we will visit again for sure.

Popped in for lunch today and was very impressed. Busy cafe, food was great, good value and friendly atmosphere. I'm going back tomorrow with my mother as have told her she must try the cheese scones. It's worth the drive.

Visited for lunch, wide variety of homemade, freshly cooked food,followed by amazing homemade cake! Comfortable and inviting, staff so friendly and helpful, prices so reasonable,,, delightful lunch, highly recommend!

We used to use this cafe all the time when we lived in the area a few years back. Whilst we were back visiting family we decided to stop in, the atmosphere has totally changed and not in a good way. Would it have hurt the blonde woman to look remotely welcoming? A tense atmosphere which was not good at all or relaxing. My daughter had the soup and said it was not good. Very disappointing and we won’t be returning.

I past this place a few times and finally stopped over for lunch, i had lovely testy soup and home baked scone, all staff was so friendly and nice, made me feel special and important. After all i took a coffee- fresh blended beans hmmm yammy coffee Will definitely recommend that place for food and coffee! Canny wait for my next visit !

Finally stopped off at this coffee shop after years of driving past it and glad I did. Good selection of homemade food and cakes available, very good value for money and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been to Caberston Coffee Shop a few times in the past couple of weeks and I’ve always received a warm welcome! I’m the type of person to have something different each time I go and have enjoyed the excellent food that’s reasonably priced! I ask for really strong coffee and the staff accommodate with a smile (unlike some other cafes)! Looking forward to a bowl of hot soup on some of these frosty autumnal days! Thanks for the Good food and excellent service!

Been coming down to this cafe more or less since it opened. A fab little place that looks not much from outside but inside you get a surprise. The food is great & reasonably priced. The staff are friendly & welcoming & nothing is ever too much bother. Ive seen it change hands a couple of times over the past few years & think the recent new owner is doing a fantastic job. Im shocked at a few of the negative reviews on here recently, especially the one about the soup & sour faced woman. I have the soup on most occasions (delicious lentil) & know it is still being 'home made' by Raymond (the last cafe owner) so no change there. As for the 'sour faced woman' comment, the only sour face i ever saw in there was the old woman, whos worked there for years. Have sat within earshot while shes gossiped to people about the staff & customers. I believe shes retired now. Bad reviews - Good reviews, Still worth popping in yourself to find out

We have been frequent customers over the last few years. On our last visit there was a distinct atmosphere. A very sour faced blond woman didn't acknowledge the customers and the staff appeared nervous.The usually excellent soup was not up to standard, in fact it didn't even taste homemade.Safer to stick to scones or cakes which are excellent.

I've been coming here regularly for a few years now and have always found the staff pleasant and friendly, the food is always freshly made, the sponges and cakes are very nice and everything is clean. After reading a couple of the reviews, I think some people need a lesson in patience and also they should not blame the Caberston for their own problems.

Well arrived and sat down, no menus on tables or walls so went to counter were 4 women were working...not one lifted a head, gave me eye not or acknowledged my existence! After standing awkwardly for 5 minutes I walked out! I work in a cafe, every customer that comes in a smile just gives lets them know you have seen them and will get to them. As a new customer some people need a little direction I.e take a seat someone will be with you in a moment! Manners cost nothing! I certainly won’t be giving you another go.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this cafe in Walkerburn and enjoyed a snack lunch of good standard and value. It doesn't look much on the outside but inside is cosy and friendly.

We dropped in whilst travelling from the north of England to Peebles - we'd never stopped before although we're regular visitors to the Borders. The staff were brilliant - friendly, pleasant, helpful and very efficient. The menu was good and the prices were very competitive. The building is big, airy and access is good. The facilities are excellent. We were left feeling why we hadn't visited in the past but determined that we'd stop in future. A brilliant place - rather more than a coffee shop.

Pleasant atmosphere,friendly staff,reasonable pricing and good basic food.Had a really excellent baked potato with egg mayo.

Dropped in with my three young sons on half way point of a bike ride along cycle path. Scones, tray bake and hot drinks were great and we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. Will definitely return.

Dropped in for coffee and were made really welcome. Loved it. It would appear that a lot of the local community use it on a regular basis Also, bought two paperbacks for a small donation to charity Great place.

I was so glad to find this cafe as I'd just walked two miles from Innerleithen and it was at the end of the trail. Seemed very popular. I had a coffee and a scone and jam. Very cosy inside and lovely food.

This was our first visit to the Caberston Coffee shop and came away very impressed with everything. Lovely friendly service, a big selection of various foods for lunch and a large selection of home baking. Costs are very competitive. Caters well for coeliacs

A party of 15 off us visited here this week and had coffee and scones

As part of a party 15 Scone Tasters, I have just returned from the Caberston Coffee shop and as usual found it an excellent little venue. The Scones were well up to their normal standard and the staff were friendly and helpful. Little wonder that this is such a popular place for both locals and travellers!

Really nice coffee shop serving home made soups. ( always a choice of 3) range of toastier etc but best of all wonderful selection of home made 🍰. Very friendly staff. Great stop off for walkers and cyclists.

Visited this gem of a café after a recommendation. Lunch was very pleasant esp the cakes it was all home made and on the whole the staff were nice and helpful. Very quick service and great parking outside.

A group of 20 walkers visited this gem of a cafe today. The staff were very welcoming and so efficient at serving us all quickly. The scones and cakes were delicious. Tea drinkers given extra hot water without asking, and all very good value.

Was stopping off to visit, when an extremely large blonde woman driving a big grey car got out her car and started shouting at my friend. From what we could gather she lived nearby and we had held her up driving in front of her. Very offputting and the woman was very aggressive. Won’t be returning if this is the welcome neighbours give!

Had a very nice lunch here. Plenty of seating inside, good car parking right outside. Our lunch was tasty and the prices were competitive. Gluten free options are available, cakes and bread. There is a lovely atmosphere in the café with different art works on the walls.

Always pleasant and nicely presented. It is usually open Tuesday to Saturday. Busy with excellent parking.

Having enjoyed a visit to this lovely cafe in the past, we arranged to meet friends here for lunch. Disappointed to find it closed on a Saturday after checking online carefully..both groups having travelled nearly an hour to meet there. Will only be using the cafe if we are passing in future.

This place does not look like much from the outside but as soon as you enter you can tell it is much more interesting. Seating is spread out in 3 areas so you have a choice of seating. I had the freshly made Pumpkin soup which was thick and smooth, very tasty with the homemade bread. Also had a well made latte and a piece of coconut cake which was moist and very very good.

Delicious lunch had by all. Kids had a burger and jam sandwich, plus 2 deluxe hot chocolates. Adults had soup - carrot & coriander- and paninis - cheese, ham and tomato. Nice selection of cakes to choose from, all lovely and fresh.

A limited menu of hearty food in a homely setting. We especially enjoyed the home made burgers with a generous side salad.

Great food very helpful friendly staff who no matter how busy they are always have time to have a welcoming friendly word.

This is a great coffee shop,friendly service with food at a good price,love their cakes. Plenty of table space and has a nice atmosphere also has its own car park

Lovely little coffee stop with attentive staff. I think I counted 24 different types of cake! Perfect.

Myself and 4 friends popped in for lunch on 23rd August 2018. The place was spotless and the ladies working that day were very friendly and helpful - quickly setting up the chair and place setting for our fifth member.

Enjoyed a nice lunch here. There is a choice of snacks and light lunches. It is clean with artwork for sale on the walls. The staff are friendly and there are some fresh bakery.

Fab place to visit-very homely and welcoming - lovely fresh food and excellent service ..... choices and prices fantastic too .... lots of gifts for sale from local businesses ... well worth a visit !

Visitamos la cafetería después de ser recomendado para hacerlo por un amigo.

Stopped several times on bike rides. Good grub and willing to accommodate muddy bikers too - even set up outside chairs and table especially for us. Coffee and cake was good - decent portions too.

Visitamos con amigos que son todos los aficionados de el bollo de humilde y todo el mundo dice lo mucho que disfrutó mucho de ellos!

En el encantador y un serpenteante suavemente 72 que recorre el río Tweed. Esta es una ruta de viaje entre Selkirk y Peebles o Moffat. Genial para coches clásicos y Motociclismo. La variedad es un poco pequeña y que a menudo circulan de hamburguesas y similares.

Attractive warm premises serving delicious home produced meals and snacks. Staff very welcoming. Don't forget to look through Raymond's exquisite cashmere knitwear, a local expert. Open 10-1630

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo después de un viaje de compras. Tuve sopa de tomate, que era muy buena la última vez que estuvimos en que no podía pasar por esta vez. Mi esposa, que también sopa de arroz pollo era excelente: caliente y vapor para un día dreich. Seguimos con un bollo y macarrón con té y café. El macarrón fue juzgada encantador y el bollo era tan buena como la mantequilla Lurpak.

Paramos en la Cafetería Caberston un almuerzo ligero. Mi marido eligió la zanahoria y cilantro sopa con servicio con pan crujiente y dijo que era la mejor sopa que hemos probado (alabanza). Elegí el gluten sandwichera con queso y cebolla roja, que era servido con una ensalada fresca muy agradable (deliciosos). También tuvimos chocolate caliente que estaba bien caliente y sabrosa. El personal es muy amable y el servicio rápido. Lo recomiendo altamente.

Home baking at its best. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. Try to pay a visit at least once a week

We had an absolutely lovely time here today, we were meeting our Irish friends who we haven't seen for 13 yrs and had a fantastic lunch and catch up with no pressure to leave, the service was excellent, lovely homemade soup, sandwiches ,cakes ,tray bakes and a massive thank you to Vi for making us so welcome highly recommended

I have visited on a few occasions as i live in the village and never been disappointed. Good range of food from filled rolls, soup , toasties and baked potatoes . I've only ever visited at weekends and can be quite busy . There 2 different seating areas both equally comfy and roomy to choose from. All staff have been polite and chatty with the scones being large and tasty . Would recommend and return ;

Great cafe, friendly staff and the soups are gorgeous! Lovely tray bakes too. There is seating outside too so you can enjoy a cuppa with your pouch.

We stopped off here for a coffee and snack and received good service, good food and good coffee for a good price. The place is big inside with plenty of seating. Also some good local craft products to buy and lots of information about local attractions. A great place

I love this cafe. I cycle there from my home in Peebles to enjoy a large mug of coffee (Earl Grey tea in the afternoon) and a superb scone - I used to choose the fruit one but have now found how delicious the cheese ones are as well so it's cheese in the morning and fruit if I am there in the afternoon. I've also been there for lunch with a group of walking friends. A choice of two homemade soups is available every day. There's plenty of space for groups and small tables if you are on your own.Situated in what is probably the best mountain biking in Britain it is patronised by locals and visitors alike all of whom are welcomed by the friendly staff. It is also suitable for disabled people with it's car park and easy access.I nearly forgot to mention the very reasonable prices.

Stopped off here for a coffee and snack on way back from Edinburgh today. Unsure what to expect after our earlier experience further up the road at a rival place but no kneed to worry.We had coffee which was excellent, roll and salad for my wife and cheese toastie and salad for me.Nothing fancy just good hot food served in a clean and comfortable atmosphere by very cheerie and friendly staff, what more can you ask for. All the girls are a credit to this restaurant and so attentive and smiling all the time. Would highly recommend a stop off here A1+++ for service, food, cleanliness and even more stars for their coffee. Well done.

Absolutely gorgeous high tea. Delicious selection of sandwiches. Beautiful home made cakes scones and meringues. Service second to none. Surroundings homely very clean a perfect afternoon experience did not sample anything from the lunch menu but the food I saw being served looked scrummy. I give this coffee shop 10 out of 10. Well worth a drive to get to walker burn

I often have my lunch here. It's a pretty classic lunchtime menu, but very well done, particularly the hot filled rolls. The home baking is really excellent. Scones, gingerbread, traybakes, sponge cakes are all made on the premises, with several things being gluten-free. I think it is also very reasonably priced. It's hard to see how you could be disappointed by a stop-off here.

Walked along by the river from Innerleithen. Enjoyed some cake (good choice) & very good coffee. Dog friendly though empty water bowls.

Good wee cafe. I had the soup which was nice. Service was good, friendly girls. Ideal for a quick stop. Only thing id say was that as it was my first time there I didnt realise it was order at the till so sat there for a while before going up, I didnt see any signs but there may have been one, if not maybe that would prevent other new commers doing the same. They have plenty parking right outside. Thanks

Visit here very regularly every time ( which is often!) I am in the borders. Always have lunch here and it never disappoints. Food is delicious, and prices very reasonable. (Can't understand why a previous reviewer said prices were high.... They certainly aren't.) Staff very friendly and efficient, and can park right outside. Just great to see how popular and busy this place is. It's well deserved. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else for lunch!

Discovered this as we drove through Walkerburn en route to Peebles. Great place to stop for homemade soup and a cuppie.One thing to note - it's order at the counter - we sat a bit like stooges as there was no menu on our table - which would have told us. No matter - nice staff and good food.

Great value and lovely food. Never fails to impress. Highly recommend the pies and cakes. Very friendly and quick service too.

Caberston Coffee Shop is a small, family run coffee shop in the little village of Caberston in the Borders.It is nothing fancy, that is not what it tries to be. It is a homely, friendly and welcoming place with simple, mainly home-made food. Service is quick, prices are good, atmosphere is warm.Just fantastic as a stopping-off place on a car journey or if you just need a wholesome bite to eat while in the area.Loved it!

Went here for lunch after our walking group outing. Food was fine if a basic choice. Was seriously overcharged and while I got £5 returned still not convinced that I was due back another 50p. On a soup and a sandwich and a toastie plus water I think alarm bells should have rung in the waitress's mind. I doubt anything would have happened unless I had done a bit of mental arithmetic.

This is a lovely wee cafe the soup here is lovely and the toasties scones and cakes are lovely too this is a nice cheery place the staff are helpful and polite its reasonably priced and the portions are big enough you feel you've had a good lunch this place is clean and there is plenty parking you can also sit outside if the weather permits!

This is such a lovely café. Always a nice buzz about the place, spacious without feeling like it's a barn. The staff are friendly and efficient and the place is spotless.The home baking is excellent and the number of beautiful cakes on offer is amazing. I think there were 5 of them the last time I was there (Coffee cake, ginger and chocolate, Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, strawberry...). The quality and variety of baking puts many cafes to shame!Good scones, filled rolls and soup as well. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

We called in to this cafe on our way through to Edinburgh and we were delighted with the warm, friendly reception we had when we walked in.The place was very busy - mainly local people (judging by the accents!) - but we were served quickly and efficiently.

Good home baked and cooked light snacks. Friendly service and popular for take away as well as sit-in.

We stop here for coffee and cake which was nice. The walls are covered with a local artist pictures to buy. Nice place for a short stop.
