Cafe Maelmin in Northumberland

Gorgeous salmon & scrambled egg Breakfasts

Lovely cafe staff friendly food great Passed a few times always busy Went in today glad we did, will definitely recommend and return Prices reasonable.

Bring an empty stomach. Super baguette sandwiches, warm welcome and sit yer doon in a clean dining area with farmhouse tables and chairs. Bikers were enjoying the sun and outdoor seating too.

Wonderful to finally find a cafe with parking and a lovely surprise to find good coffee and toasted sandwich’s which were so big we had to take away half for later! Great find!

Great wee cafe with lovely range of baked good. Cakes, coffee , a wee deli and gifts.

First time at this fabulous cafe. Such friendly staff, fabulous food, brilliant prices and a lovely atmosphere! Hope to visit again soon xx

My first advice to anyone is; try their lentil soup. OMG, best lentil soup ever. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Terrific cafe with great coffee, eggs and salmon, and very biker friendly. Thank you for that.

We had a full English breakfast today and what a disappointment. It was all deep fried and greasy. The hash browns tasted of fish as if fried in same oil as fish that was served at lunch. The bacon was so salty and the sausages were deep fried and the skin so tough it was nearly impossible to cut. Mushrooms were awful on cutting into them they just oozed wet. Very, very disappointed. I was concerned when it arrived so quickly it’s impossible to cook things like that in as long as it took to poor two coffees from the coffee pot!

Lovely coffee and Freddo caramel brownie. My son had a massive pork pie, too. 1 tea, 1 coffee, 2 Freddo caramel brownies, 2 soft drinks, and a pork pie were only £15, so excellent value. We came in again last Monday and had a lovely breakfast (2 rolls with sausage and 2 rolls with bacon) plus a sausage for our dog. Still excellent value, even when one of my children chose a litre carton of orange juice 😁

A fantastic place for light snacks to full Sunday roast dinners. Gets very busy most days and I'm not sure you can reserve a table. Tea and coffee is excellent as well as scones. Well used by locals. Highly recommend.

Great veggie breakfast for £10.50. Includes fried egg barely seen in picture! Will visit again when using this road. Has gifts for sale and household essentials too. Spotted veggie sausage rolls I will try next time.

Our first visit and nothing but praise for this cafe/restaurant. We thought the food was excellent (scampi with chips & salad and quiche with chips & salad together with a pot of tea and a cold drink). All the staff were very friendly and if you are in the area and looking for a value meal then can't think of any reason to pass it by.

Lovely cafe, great staff and yummy fresh food!

Stopped off en route to the union bridge. 1st visit but won't be the last if I'm up this way again. Friendly staff, very clean and well stocked. Only had a coffee and meat and potato pasty. Give it a go, I wasn't disappointed.

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 cafe,good food and doggy friendly. Highly recommended 👍

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

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 🍵

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 👌

Great food, great value. Thank you

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

What an absolute gem of a place.

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.

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.

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.

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!
