Café Recharge Cic in Scottish Borders

Would recommend , what a relaxing atmosphere . Lovely staff and always a great menu . Will be nice when the nice weather returns to sit outside on the rear balcony .

I'd been to 2 events catered by cafe recharge and the food had been lovely, so I finally visited the cafe today. Had a fantastic Brie and Fig toasties that was lovely. Great food, great surroundings, great team and such great environmental and social credentials. Highly recommend

Very good quality food Nice service, and decent prices Warm Welcome . Decent menu and drinks. Plenty space inside. Good location, parking an issue unless you go to a local street as the road outside is busy..

This is an amazing place to go for lunch, the staff are extremely nice and friendly and the food is delicious!

This Cafe pretty much saved my life! Recently made homeless through no fault of my own and unfortunately I work so couldn’t get assistance. I walked in here after phoning. I was greated like any else would have been with a smile a coffee and some toast! I explained my circumstances to which a staff member helped me get a shower thanks to her husband Scott! I got towels from Amanda and off I went. I came back for another coffee and to charge my phone. I’m in accommodation now and I will lie coming back to return the favour

What can I say! This surplus food cafe is brilliant! Delicious food and brilliant service.. honestly, the best cafe in Galashiels..the 2 founders have proper banter, really lovely coffee and brilliant counter service..they remember my order & love the M&S bakery surplus.. they are fantastic .. thank you.

Cafe Recharge is the best family friendly restaurant I have ever been too. I was there recently with my grand children . The food is not only delicious but it is made from food that is still in date but would have gone into landfill. The restaurant is roomy and well set out with a balcony looking over the river and a play area. The atmosphere is so relaxed and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and make everyone feel at ease. A real asset to Gala.

Just popped by as someone was STARVING MUM! Had an amazing portion of quiche, new potatoes, salad and coleslaw with hot chocolate with the works, a latte and lemon muffin. Both of us were full. Staff here are lovely and there is never a long wait for food

Very little vegan options ever. Bread with hummus if you're lucky usually. Food is good when I do have the chance to eat here but nothing special. Great idea, not as well executed as I would have liked.

Love Café Recharge! Not only are they doing important work by combating food waste, they're a wonderful support to our local community with their "pay what you can afford" system. The coffee and food is always delicious and staff are lovely!

Great food - delicious and healthy. Lots of veggie options. Lovely friendly staff. Such a good idea using food that would otherwise be wasted.

Fabiano the owner is Italian and he has brough his Italian Magic to the Coffee - Outstanding and Pasta Dishes. Baking is also on site fresh and great.

I go to Recharge most weeks because the service is SO friendly, the menu tempting (amazing when you realise it's a potluck process depending on donations) and it's brilliant to support the team bringing accessibility and dignity to everyone in Gala (and beyond). You can also raid the cupboards and fridges (for donations) so I usually leave with fresh flowers, rolls or buns and a few veg. There's LOADS of cafes in Gala - we're really spoilt for choice - but this is my top pick.

I have been here twice now and have fallen in love with the place. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere. I think its a brilliant thing you guys do and recommend everyone should come. They don't make you feel embarrassed about having to use their services. Keep up the good work.

Love this place. Not only do they save food from landfill and do heaps to help out the local community, their food, coffee and service is amazing!

The menu changes daily but the dishes are always fresh, tasty and healthy. In summer Amanda makes the most amazing quiches. There are always sticky treats to go with delicious coffee. Lots of space, comfy chairs & sofas and a balcony overlooking Gala Water. The...

Popped in for a much needed caffeine fix. Great atmosphere, lovely outdoor seating overlooking the river, friendly staff and brilliant concept.

Thank you so much to cafe recharge for making such delicious food and the service is such amazing, the staff are so very welcoming and friendly

Cafe ReCharge is brilliant! Really tasty food, made from surplus food (from supermarkets) which is such a great concept. Always a good choice of yummy pastries and cakes too (same principle) The Americano Coffee was first class and the hot chocolate was exceptional with all...
