Cafe Maelmin in Northumberland

Lovely staff, clean toilets and really tasty, fresh food

Big cafe with a selection of toasties and scones. It was Sunday and the Sunday lunch looked popular.

Love it! Great staff, food and cosy atmosphere with a real fire too 🔥 Best motorcycle stop I know 😃👍

Brilliant cafe, food is good and large portions. Best cake in a cafe in Northumberland. Annoyingly beyond cycling range for me....

Good food, well presented, lovely staff, tables are always cleaned.

Lovely lunch stop. Quick service and tasty soup and scone. Will definitely be back

Nice little stop off for coffee and a cake

We had the most delicious tuna sandwich here on our entire 10 week trip around the UK! The service was also very courteous

Excellent food and good service. Seems very popular. I will certainly go back again 😀

Lovely cafe, super coffee, friendly staff and made to feel very welcome.

Great carrot cake 🎂 Nice crafts/ gift shop

Good coffee lovely homemade food

We stopped in here on our way back from Coldstream. Lunch was beautiful and the homemade coleslaw was delicious. Staff were lovely as well.

Excellent breakfast and stay again. Couldn't be more helpful.

Stunning place, food is lovely and fresh

Nice food and great view of the Harbour

Excellent breakfast or lunch stop.

A lovely Cafe, friendly staff, very clean and well run 🙂👍

Good coffee and home made cakes - one of the few cafes in the whole region which actually opens until 5!

Never stopped here before but a great cafe and excellent service and food.. highly recommend visiting with a shop as well..

This place is also outstanding, 10 different tables, each with different matching chairs. There are two or four identical chairs at each table. Only there are oval, rectangular, round and square tables, each with two or four identical chairs. This seems messy to some people at first, but is part of the concept in the UK. and you get used to it, learn to appreciate it, that there is no boring uniformity, as is the case with us.

Another wonderful meal our favourite place to eat. Just had Sunday lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to the owners, staff and brilliant chef. See you again soon, this time with the dog?

A welcome stop for coffee and bacon roll.

Great breakfast, couldn't finish it and that says alot

Great cafe,good food and doggy friendly. Highly recommended 👍

Staff are all very friendly and very welcoming. Food was lovely and very generous size portions. The chips are one of the best we've ever had. It's definitely worth a drive up.

This place is great. The staff were so helpful the other week when my youngest was travel sick. I bought a snack as a tiny thank you and it was delicious as I knew from previous visits.

Excellent cafe, good coffee, homemade food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Lovely place for a coffee and a snack.

excellent value,, food lovely,, staff very friendly

The soup was great and the staff were friendly.

Just had a brilliant bacon roll and cup of tea 🍵

Great food, great value. Thank you

Wonderful stopping venue. Came across it purely by chance but glad I did. Unpreposing from outside but it cuts the mustard inside. It appears to be a jumble of ideas but in fact is sensible and structured. Takeaway and shop one end, sit down cafe at the other. Home made goodies might not please the dieticians but they taste delicious. Close to the border its the perfect place for a break 👌

What an absolute gem of a place.

Wow, what a great place to visit for food in a great location was passing, so pop in for breakfast with the family food was great. Amazing cafe staff was so friendly and welcoming for the first time being in Scotland

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff. Well worth a visit

This is a great place to stop off for a bite to eat & drink if you are heading up or down the A697. The food is superb from scones to full & hearty meals. The breakfasts are something else and they even cater for those funny vegan types... Something for everyone and not to be missed!

Nice stopping point for bikers & drivers going South.

Clean and decent, "standard" breakfast

Great little find. Gluten Free options and light and bright cafe. Friendly staff. Hot meals and cake and tea/coffee.

Brilliant food, fabulous friendly staff. Everything from a full English, to homemade soup and a toasty and a Sunday roast. Big choice of cakes and scones too.

A delight of a place, warm & welcoming. Lots of interesting things to buy, other than their gorgeous cakes - and savoury pies pasties, sandwiches. And a fire, so cosy.

Best Sunday roast dinner in Northumberland.

We had a great lunch at Maelmin Cafe today. Lovely big bowl of soup, the best cheese scone I've had in years and an amazing slice of carrot cake. Thank you 😋

Recommend the baked potato, we also had a toasted sandwich and 2 teas! Bill came to £20!

Cosy place, excellent sandwiches and friendly staff.

Beautiful Christmas lunch, fabby food as always and how do they make thst gravy? If you've been you'll know. ♥️

Lovely little cafe with great home-made snacks etc. Full of quirky craft products for sale. Excellent quick stop!!

Outstanding! A little gem of a place. Wonderful range of gifts and crafts and a little shop. Good great, staff friendly and helpful and a wood burning stove on this cold winters day. Will return soon.

Nice welcome and the food and coffee are great Called in there today while touring on the motorbike, ambiance, cleanliness, welcome and service first class. Large car park and FOC but partially gravelled (take car if you’re on a bike) Definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Grandchild said was best sausage and chips ever! Coffee and cake delicious.

Asked for scotch pie, chips and veg And a cup of coffee, absolutely delicious, very quick, chips spot on and pie lush. Coffee strong just the way I like it.

Stopped for a breakfast. First class quality food.

Lovely place to stop for refreshments. Excellent breakfast from Full English to tea and toast. Delicious lunches from sandwiches to Sunday Roast. Wonderful homemade cakes, traybakes and savouries ie pasties etc. Well worth a visit - friendly local staff

On our long way home to Aberdeenshire .... great place to stop. Food is good; staff very friendly !

Great little cafe. Right on the roadside. Really nice food even got a Sunday dinner on a Sunday whilst travelling north to Scotland. Soups, sandwiches, toasties and milkshakes are also good. Doubles up as a little shop also with sweets, chocolate and drinks available to buy. Good amount of parking and outdoor benches for the warm sunny days.

Call in on way past on bikes, best sausage sandwich around

This was my first time here popped in when out on my motorbike it was a wonderful place to eat the staff where very friendly and the food was excellent 👌

Top little cafe food good service good with a little shop aswell will defantly call in again

Excellent place with a large seating area and good parking facilities. The food and the staff are excellent.

I have been visiting maelmin cafe for several years especially when working in Scotland A nice clean cafe with nice selection of hot and cold food available at very reasonable prices. If you are passing and need a break in driving I recommend this place. Staff are great and very polite.

Love there chips best ever!! Also food is all so good We travel from Edinburgh for the love of it

So happy for stopping here on our way north. Home cooked comfy food to make you feel like mom is in the kitchen. Super friendly service as well!

A lovely little find! Food is freshly made and the chips are delicious! The best chips I have tasted in Northumberland. Very welcoming and friendly service.

Always our favourite stopping off point on the road north or south.

Excellent stop off on way through

A lovely surprise to find this café which was so much more than 'just a cafe'. The food was fresh, plentiful and delicious and the staff were very friendly. I will make a point of going back every time I'm heading South 🤩

Excellent coffee stop. Wonderful cake. Staff so kindly.

The cafe is very clean and accessible for all.

A generous breakfast (while staying in Pantile Lodge) Charming staff

Nice little cafe, friendly staff

Visited for the first time for lunch. Received a warm, friendly welcome upon arrival. The menu had plenty to choose from and the quality of food was excellent. There was coleslaw on my meal which I don't normally like but I tried it anyway as it looked nice and WHO KNEW, It was amazing!! Made on the premises I was told. As an added bonus there was a young man serving tables who I worked with for a short time at a different company who is great, very friendly and helpful it was great to see him again. I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a quality cafe for a tasty meal. We will most certainly be back very soon. Thanks to all of the staff for a superb experience. 👌

Clean, friendly staff and delicious food.

First time at this quaint cafe and definitely won't be the last, everything we had was fabulous, and absolutely kind friendly staff

Biker friendly! I always like to stop here when riding my motorbike. Great food and service, friendly staff, nice to sit outside when it’s sunny.

Excellent service and food brought to the table really quick.

Absolutely superb food and a warm welcome. Staff are fantastic and the cafe sells lovely gifts/cards

Haven't visited here for quite a few years. I had the turkey roll, stuffing, chips and gravy for lunch. Wow! The gravy was thicker than treacle and as big as an oil slick and tasted fantastic! No piddley stringy chips here, these were as big as bulldozer blades, crispy and fluffy in the middle. Big helping of turkey and stuffing with half a bun to help mop up the gravy! Delicious! Definitely a cut above a traditional pub lunch. My wife had the bacon and Brie sandwich, the Brie and bacon flanked by slices of bread at least 1/2 thick. A proverbial door stop! No way you'll leave feeling hungry. Will definitely visit next time we're passing.

Nice place to visit and enjoy a good meal or a coffee

While traveling from Newcastle to Helensburgh we stopped for breakfast and had a very good bacon, scrambled eggs and sausage meal with only a short while before the meals arrived Great cafe to visit and very welcoming.

Very friendly staff clean facilities quick service food good.

Very friendly staff and has a lot of stuff on offer

A great lunch stop on our way south. Well worth a visit. Lovely friendly staff and a good menu at reasonable prices.

Lovely atmosphere and great coffee, lovely staff too but unfortunately cakes were not good nor were the pies which we were soon keem to try as looked amazing.

Love this place. Always had a fab breakfast here. Coffee is good and service always prompt and friendly.

You order and pay when you go in and they bring it to your table..the only problem you will have is deciding on what you want from the long menu....great place glad we stopped by.
