Cornhill Village Shop and Coffee Shop in Northumberland

Simply the best - great friendly staff fantastic selection of snacks - cakes - freshly made sandwiches - newspapers and magazines and general grocery and household necessities Every one is greeted with a smile and nothing is too much bother In my humble opinion simply the best

Friend called in to get some items for lunch, quiche was hard, caramel shortbread was hard and tea cakes were inedible these were not cheap either I’d never go back as we have had this previously from there a while ago snd hoped it had improved

Yeah so they dont make the pies etc , they are all from Foremans butchers.Was charged £6.20 for a chilli pie and a coffee , pure greed ! Coffee was tasteless machine swill , will never be back.

Amazing everything can’t believe people put a fault to it as it has amazing food and amazing service

What a big. Gem in this village fantastic choices and wide range of produce and all the staff very friendly and helpful which we had a local store in Inverness

Posted a parcel here on 25 July. A birthday gift for our son. Never arrived. Went in to tell them. Post woman said I have to wait 90 days before I can claim. She did not offer me a form to make a claim. Left and went online. Says, have to make a claim WITHIN the first 80 days of posting parcel . After 80 days you can't make a claim. If I listened to her, I would have lost out. Should know how to run a Post Office by now ! So aside from being extremely overpriced in the shop and dangerous parking, they don't know the first thing how to run a post office!

Not a friendly atmosphere, i get the impression as long as you are a daily lorry driver or an old dear living in the village that they cannot be bothered with the general public, or if you go in every day and spend lots of money. The young girl on the Post Office counter was helpful and polite but no smile appeared on her face. I think as well that the women working there generally do not like other women.

This shop has a well earned amazing reputation. Fresh food delicious range fabulous. General stock of household basics that you'd expect from a Village Store. But holds so very much more... crafts, gifts and cards, local produce, home cooked food from baked goods to meals prepared to go. Its always clean and tidy. It's a family run affair, service is always friendly. They get involved with events in the local community as well as doing various fundraising activities themselves each year. Sadly due to covid-19 they lost the tea room, but you can still enjoy the tasty offerings as takeaway. Can't praise them enough. A must if you're in the area.

Have been calling in here for longer than I can remember but have never left a review for it. It's just brilliant. Super-friendly, super-well-stocked, EXCELLENT pies and sandwiches, super-easy to park outside ... Just brilliant. Seems to get everyone piling in, from truck drivers to local farmers and seemingly the entire community.

This is a great little takeaway deli counter. Well stocked and always fresh. Well worth a visit if you passing Cornhill.

Fantastic shop selling pies and sandwiches. All the truck drivers stop on their way through to stock up. It sells everything you could want or need! And the staff are all friendly and helpful. I also found some Hepple gin and Holy Island gin in the shop to buy for friends.

Had 3 days of lunches from Lynda and Julie - far more fun and laughter, coupled with ideal river bank lunches, than any fish caught! Will definitely call back in September! Quiches to die for. Thanks to you all! Yum ! X

Stopped here when passing to get snack for lunch. Really nice deli counter and fresh baps/sandwiches to choose from. Judging by the queue its a little goldmine. Must be good if the locals are using it.

The sandwiches are awful - nothing in them and overpriced. My son got me a turkey roll from here and it was barely buttered on even one side and it had the smallest, thinnest piece of turkey imaginable. I could get 2 packets of the meat down at the next village for less than this abysmal roll. I will not make that mistake again. However my husband and my son rate their cheese pasties and I know my husband takes some into work in Kelso for some of the people he works with who also like them. I have had one and a chicken pie and both were almost cold and I could not eat them. So I don't buy from them at all. There food seems to be almost cold whatever time of day you buy it.

My son and I stopped here for a breakfast-on-the go on Thursday morning en route from Berwick to Carlisle by way of the Borders. What a warm welcome from the two ladies serving in the shop. Delicious sausage barm and coffee served with a delightful smile and saucy question. This place serves a number of purposes: post office, general grocery, food-on-the-go. The many pies and cakes looked sumptuous. Thank you for delivering a great start to our day.

this is a lovely little cafe & shop rolled into one, there is a small car park outside, it is a very busy shop, the deli counter sells lovely quiche in different flavoure yummy

Lovely people always have a smile to welcome you, endless selection of quality food. Would highly recommend to anyone, travellers or locals.

Lovely sandwich, lovely treacle tart. Nothing more to be said. Have already recommended it to other people! If I’m ever back in the area, I will definitely pop in.

As soon as you walk in the staff smile and always chat, I always come out with a smile on my face. The shop seems to have everything I ever need

Wow we stopped here for coffee only because all the cafes in Coldstream appeared closed. What a surprise when you go in, the deli counter under glass is brilliant full of quiches, pies, cakes, tray bakes, scones and sandwiches and all look amazing. The shop has everything you need to keep you going with loads of fresh foods plus novelty Christmas items and hats etc. It’s like a tardis!! The cafe is at the back and serves lovely hot (not lukewarm) coffee and cakes plus meals and really nice. An amazing find in this little place so thank you.

First calss village shop with excellent delicatessen counter. lots of quiche, home made tray bakes and pies on offer. An excellent shop for anyone staying on their own. Lots of little gifts are also on offer. Staff are most pleasant and helpful. Cafe is also excellent. Our grandsons (aged 10 and 12) always aske us to take them there.

This is the second time we’ve visited the cafe and we were not disappointed. The soup was homemade and very tasty. The Eve’s pudding and custard was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals and it is reasonably priced. One very happy, satisfied family!

Beautiful cafe. With efficient friendly staff. Jacket potato was delicious and very filling. Love the community feel as the cafe is at the back of the Post Office/ corner shop.

Excellent breakfast. Excellent service. Really lovely atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for more - what a shame it was the last day of our holiday! Thank you 🙂

Stopped on way from Scotland to Northumberland immaculate well stocked shop , food drink,gifts cards plus plus, post office and great coffee shop. Cafetière of great coffee along with scone 👍

I remember many many years ago when the current owners took over this old Post Office and what they have achieved over the passing years is fantastic in every respect - great food, amazing staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Never look back , onwards and upwards.

Really good food served in this village shop. They have an excellent delicatessen counter. The shop is always busy with local and passing trade. Well worth a visit.

We came across this cafe while out walking with 2 hungry children and a dog! We were made welcome by the staff and the service was efficient and food very tasty and reasonably priced.

Was staying in the Collingwood arms and this little shop is great for anything we needed during our stay.

This is a real find, lunch was splendid. The cafe is super clean, comfortable and warm. The service is friendly and the choice of food quite extensive for such a small establishment. Lots of local specialties and a lovely pot of tea! Next time we visit Northumberland we will make a detour in order to return.

Although I am a fairly regular customer at the shop I very rarely eat there. However, my wife and Iooked in for a light lunch basically soup and a sandwich, there was three choices of soup all homemade. Our choice the leek and potato was excellent. The tea room is patently very popular with locals as it filled up fairly quickly, the banter between staff and regulars part of the experience. All in all this is a friendly shop and tea room and well worth a visit.

we get our daily paper here every day. All the girls in the shop are very helpful and kind. Even the owners are there working alongside. The coffee shop is warm, comfortable and the coffee is good. Always served with a smile.

Stopped here on spec, looked very welcoming from the outside, and it was ! Super Shop and great little cafe, we had soup and a roll, and a toastie, all very good, and reasonably priced, relaxed atmosphere, and good clean loo. Worth looking around that shop, as some good local produce.

its not a cafe but the food is wonderful, i can recommend this place, such nice people. it is also a post office and newsagents.

We both had the Border Breakfast in the cafe. Good service by friendly and helpful waitress. Great value for money..

Went here and we're somewhat amused to be surrounded by Scottish accents in England. Everyone in the shop had a Scottish accent. Nice coffee and great scones!!

This is a real find and there is a good reason why it's always busy! They have a great selection of produce including lots of interesting local bits. We'll worth dropping in if you're in the area. My son particularly liked his macaroni cheese pie!

We were at an event at Carham and staying in Cornhill on tweed when we found this fabulous little shop. We bought some odds and ends for a cold collation at a friends caravan, he liked the cheese pasties so much he bought more over the weekend.Lovely selection of gin but sadly I didn't get back in time to buy any - next time I will.

We stopped here for coffee whilst doing a leisurely country walk. Looks like a great village shop from the outside but go through to the rear and there’s a brilliant cafe. We just had coffee but we were given biscuits to go with it. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely young man who served us, very polite, efficient and friendly, full credit due to him. Obviously it’s a popular place for its food as busy with customers having lunch.

Lovely place to stop at the roadside, outside eating as well as indoors, small, but well stocked shop for groceries and gifts, and nice snack type food prepared.

We had lunch in the cafe at the back, there were 11 of us and we were awkward! We kept changing the order. Most places would probably have been cursing us, but the staff were all lovely and very accommodating. We were served by Oliver who went out of his way to help and give us good advice on where to go walking. Most of us ordered a bank holiday special for £6.50 which included a generously-filled sandwich, some quiche, three little savoury tarts, and a selection of cake and traybake, plus a tea or coffee. It was amazing value and all really tasty. The staff in the shop were also really helpful.

This little shop/post office/coffee shop was next door to our hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I'd forgotten my toothbrush so I was able to buy one there. I was also able to withdraw cash from my bank account, which was very useful.

This 'shop' is really the business and social centre for the village and surrounding area. The shop is a well stocked 'corner shop' for essentials as well as being the Post Office, Bakery Deli and cafe. They sell an impressive raange of freshly baked pies and cakes etc. The shop is very well patronised by members of the local community. A well run and friendly busines!

Very nice town and area on the tweed river close to the English border. The area is very charming and wild. The shopping is mainly linked to Scottish goods

Friendly staff, great pot of tea and welcome cake. Second time we have stopped when cycling in the area. Shop is very useful too.

When the mother was in charge, such rudeness to customers!! Appalling. Now the daughters run it. Used to go in but the way I was treated made me uncomfortable. If you're a man, you're most welcome ! Small cafe in rear with internet. Pleasant enough. Neighbor used to bake for them so was good then. Try to be the centre of the village . This lines their pockets. They are soo expensive. And if you don't have the right accent, they spread gossip. Give a so so front for a very lucrative reason

Really impressed. Met friends for lunch. I had the cheese and ham toastie, then the meringue. Food was lovely. The service was excellent. The whole shop was clean and tidy. A wide variety of food and products in the actual shop. I will definitely be back. Worth just popping in for a look.

Visited this wonderful traditional village shop whilst visiting the area for the past three years. The staff have always been unfailingly friendly and helpful. Sandwiches are both fresh and delicious especially the smoked salmon, best to pre-order.The shop is well stocked and thoughtfully laid out and is immaculate. I haven't eaten in the café but the menu looked inviting.

We popped in on our journey from Perth to Cragside. The general stores ,which includes a Post Office, stocks a good range of produce including a lot of local items. The cold cabinet items looked delicious. Our main interest was the Cafe at the back, which also has an outside seating area. The Cafe has a good range of hot and cold items on offer. The staff were friendly and efficient. The chicken, sweetcorn and rice soup was delicious. Never have we had so much chicken in a soup. We hope to return to this little gem when next in the area.

Metimos en un café y roll tocino hoy en vez de comprar un bocadillo cuando paso! Esta tienda es una pequeña joya de lugar. ! Un café en la parte trasera con una buena variedad de aperitivos y también un "especiales junta". La tienda en...

En un viaje de negocios a principios de este mes, y fuimos a ver si podía conseguir algo para el desayuno. "algo" fue una excepcional huevos/rollo de salchichas, hechos y fresco y luego - y con un bajo precio y sabor fabuloso era comida rápida...

Tienda tiene varias cosas para comprar, bebidas, café, té, pasteles y tartas. También lindisfarne vino que se pueden comprar.

Well it is just a village shop but with the prices you expect more.The food that is for sale admittedly looks good but unfortunately tasteless and not worth the money ,I would guess it's position would make it quite popular, nothing else nearby, but it would be worth your while being hungry for a bit longer.

Being a regular user of both the shop and tea room I can heartily recommend the tea room. The tearoom has a variety of hot specials very much of the lite bite nature in addition to a wide range of sandwiches, baguettes, cakes and the like in addition to a range of coffee and teas. The staff are both professional and very friendly all being from the local area with a rich sense of humour. Give it a try if you happen to be in the area.

Visited for the first time. What a delightful shop. Lovely staff, good choice of fresh produce and good quality gifts. Will visit again soon and sample the coffee shop.

This is a wonderful shop selling great food. Very popular with not only locals but because of it's location with passing motorists and and lorry drivers. The range of items stocked is impressive and the staff are great.

Went in to purchase some logs for fire and was amazed at the selection of fresh food available.All at reasonable prices and what I purchased was beautiful.Highly recommend a visit and a purchase.

This village shop really does have it all. An extremely well stocked and varied choice of groceries and an absolutely delicious choice of bread, pastries and scrumptious cakes. The cafe does a great full English breakfast, yummy omelettes and a fabulous stovie. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

The cakes from this shop are gorgeous. Sizes are generous, prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. What more could you want.

Well guys, you made a special day even more special. Thank you all so much. The food was fab and how you did everything so efficiently from start to finish I do not know. Anyone thinking of getting this family business to do a function for them should not hesitate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The multi purpose identity of this very very well presented and extremely clean business was a very revaluation in this current period in-time.It could have all-to-easily have been by-passed due to it's positioning on the road out of Coldstream.We stopped for a comfort stop and a coffee and biscuit on-route back home to West Lancashire.The cleanliness was beyond reproach and the staff were very very helpful and most polite.Thoroughly recommended and whilst there I observed that others were tucking into what looked like an early lunch. Yes,I will certainly return.

Saw a sign north of the village and called in as we travelled south from Coldstream. Cars park sideways on to the A road it seems. The shop in front of the cafe was interesting with some great meat pies and similar products and various upmarket food gifts for visitors/tourists as well as necessities or the village customers.However the cafe at the back was distinctly average we thought. Local groups occupied most of the seats and we sat in a corner. The well-worn card menu was perused and some minutes later a person appeared from the kitchen. We spent c£10 on two Cappucinos and two toasted tea cakes. The coffee was absolutely unremarkable and not up to Costa/AMT/Wild Bean standards. The service was just on the side of being pleasant but we left thinking we were treated as yet another passer-through who will never come back and that is probably true.

Wide choice of supplies and food for a quick stop. The service is friendly and it is ideally situated and easy to find.

I often buy my lunch here when I am fishing on the Tweed (as does every one else) they have a great selection of freshly made sandwiches, pies and cakes - just fantastic.

Called in on the way to Morpeth. Really nice clean tidy cafe with outdoor seating. Friendly welcome good comfort stop, highly recommended.

A nice coffee shop! Food was very good, coffee was excellent. Sits in the back of a small pantry store. Service was very good and our light breakfast hit the spot!

This is a deceptive shop, keeps on going to the rear where there is a coffee shop serving excellent flavour coffee and super cakes.To the front of the shop is a very lengthy chilled display cabinet with an array of individual snacks , sandwiches and deserts.Also inside is a well stocked mini market with food and a range of gifts. A lovely shop.

Such friendly staff and good food x been here a few times and never seen a grumpy face nor had anything to complain about x the new outside area is a super bonus x

We called in to purchase picnic items for a day walking in the hills. The choice of sandwiches and baked goods available was very impressive. A wide selection of pies and individually wrapped cakes was the perfect start to our day.

This shop has everything you could want. If it hasn't it the very friendly staff will see if they can get it for you.A great shop if you are on a self catering holiday.

We were on way to Jedburgh and found time for a break at this shop and cafe. It is located at a convenient place to pull in - ie there is some parking on a busy main road. Tidy, clean and with friendly staff. There was a good selection of hot snacks and tasty coffee. My friend and I asked for hot choc and mocha. These were delivered with whipped cream and a biscuit. We will certainly revisit. The shop was doing a roaring trade with sarnis, pies and pastries which looked tasty. Overall a well done example of how to develop a local shop.

stopped here several times for coffee and scones. always very tasty and the coffee is piping hot. The buttered scones are always huge and great value for money.

Fantastic place to stop and call in for a sandwich or pie or just a coffee. Never been disappointed and the staff are really helpful and friendly.

One of the best in the Borders going and coming, scones of many flavours, home baking of high standard. Most helpfull staff. In summer tables outside with lots of cyclist and bikers calling in

Fantastic meal !! Combined Christmas dinner and Golden Wedding celebration luncheon,was had at this popular eatery,we were greeted on arrival by very pleasant friendly staff and soon after we were seated ,our order was taken by an equally pleasant young lady .The starter ,main meal and dessert,was beautifully presented,and was of superb quantity and quality,evident by the clean plates at the end of the meal.This is my first visit to this establishment for a meal and can recommend to any one traveling through North Northumberland en route to either .Edinburgh to the north or Newcastle on the south on the A697,for a quick coffee or a sit down meal,you will not be disappointed ,very clean,reasonably priced,and very pleasant staff Well done Linda and staff we will be back ..

Our first visit today.I chose the weekend special breakfast bun with 3 different fillings which came with a pot of tea included.My partner chose a chicken and bacon pannini which came with side salad and crisps and a cup of coffee.Both meals very tasty,and at £13.05p good value for money.Would recommend and will return.

I have been a regular customer at the village shop/tea room for some time using both the tea room and the shop when passing through Cornhill. I can heartily recommend the tea room both for the quality of the food and the service, there is an excellent range of generally "lite bite" choices well cooked and presented. For those with a sweet tooth scones etc. are also on offer. In addition to the tea room I regularly use the shop to purchase various items and would especially recommend any of the products in the chiller to take out, an excellent range of savoury foods pies etc. is on offer. All told if passing through Cornhill look in at the village shop where both a friendly welcome and first class service by all the staff can be assured.

Cornhill Village shop is a legend and not just a local legend, supplying the daily needs of folk drawn from the delightful villages of north Northumberland and both sides of the mighty River Tweed but also visitors. Not just those who stay awhile but passing travellers, whether heading north or south from Coldstam on business or pleasure.I am not allowed enough enughqord space to list all that they offer but here is a quick selection, newspapers and magazines, sandwiches, cakes, pies and hot and cold drinks to take away, cold drinks, sweets, bacon, milk, bread, jams, biscuits, fruits and veg, meat, wines and spirits, souvenirs, stationery, toys..There is also a Post Office and cafe with Internet...the food is superb, try their new Christmas lunches...Most of all friendly can do proprietors and staff who do an enormous amount for the local community, organising events to raise funds for charity and to raise local spirits...they will organise a carol service outside the shop shortly no doubt.

Stopped on way to meeting for a quick late lunch of Scotch Broth and toastie. Quick friendly service, home made delicious soup and under £7 a head. Bargain.

I was in Cornhill as part of a fishing trip and the hotel next door suggested the village shop for take out food. Lovely friend.y staff, quick preparation of my take out lunchtime baguette and lots of cakes and baked goods to boot, as well as a well stocked small supermarket. Obviously very popular with locals and visitors alike. Well recommended.

We stopped off to buy sandwiches and drinks prior to a trip to the Farne Islands. The shop was well stocked with fresh bread and sandwiches. There is a coffee shop to the rear, which we did not try out. However, it was quite full when we were in the shop. I was quite amazed about where all their customers come from, as Cornhill is a fairly small place. However, it seems a very popular shop and coffee shop.

I've been salmon fishing on The Tweed for the past decade or so and rarely miss an opportunity to swing by the Village Stores at Cornhill-on-Tweed to pick up a few provisions for my day on the river.It is a family owned and run shop, with an excellent range of produce served by very friendly and helpful staff. The little cafe at the back of the shop does great bacon rolls and they will even fill your flasks up with hot water/coffee etc……nothing is too much trouble for them.There is a good choice of ready made rolls and they will happily prepare whatever you want if it's not already prepared; as well as a fab choice of pork pies, pasties, sausage rolls etc. There is also a lovely hot soup of the day.I also tend to pick up some kindling and logs for the fire in our fishing hut from here.It's definitely worth a stop if passing…..and, for me, a detour en route to the river at the start of the day to get the best possible packed lunch on board and to be served by such lovely people.

Stop with my friend on the last leg of a cycle trip from Edinburgh to Kirk Yetholm. Excellent coffee and a great selecting of cafes and pastries from the adjoining shop with very pleasant staff.

This is a really good little shop to stop off at when touring around this area. We purchased our lunch their one day on the way to cross the Tweed into Scotland.The Scotch pies were excellent as were the cakes purchased. The supermarket side is a little limited but then again you are really visiting for the pies and pastries!If you need lunch and you like pies and bakery produce well worth stopping here when you pass. It was busy with lots of local custom and repeat passing trade and seems well known around and about.

For two mornings (17 & 18 July) on our way to Wooler and Fenwick to resume our pilgrimage on the St Cuthbert's Way, we stopped by the shop to purchase our lunch. Although it's a very busy shop, Lynda and Julie (who look like non-identical twin sisters and very friendly and charming) and their staff attended to our walkers' needs individually and cheerfully! Some of us really enjoyed the (still-) warm haggis, neeps and tattie pies at lunch after a challenging morning walk. So Thank You Very Much. PS. I did ask for your contact and here I am reviewing you on Trip Advisor. I was the one who was sent back the first morning by the missus to buy the cherry scone. Now we know where you are, hope to see you again soon.

My local village shop but it is so much more. Great for take away sandwiches, pies and drinks. Post office , supermarket selling unusual and basic items. Gift area selling local items at great prices. Little café at the back selling home cooked wholesome food. Soup and Sandwich deal is excellent.

If you are passing you must call here. Good supermarket and excellent for quick bites for locals and visitors.

A friend told me to try this shop, recommended the pies. What a surprise inside. It's much bigger than it looks. Supermarket, lovely gifts, make ideal presents, and a wonderful cafe/coffee shop at the rear. I tried the salmon sandwich, yummy and an excellent selection of cakes. Staff were very helpful and attentive.

After a recommendation from my aunt, we stopped off here for a late lunch. We initially went inside but as it was a nice day the staff suggested sitting outside on the benches. We got our order taken and in no time at all we had our 2 macaroni pies, a coffee and a cream scone all of which were delicious! We also bought 2 other pies to take home as they stock some unusual varieties. All looked great. A must if you are nearby!!

Excellent service. Good food and friendly staff. Small or cosy cafe within a village shop. This place is worth a visit. The choice of cakes is amazing.

This shop has everything from food gifts coffee shop you can even take hot food out if you haven't got time to sit in

Super little place, staff are fab - lovley products will be back again next year for our annual vsiit to Etal :-)

Fantastic village shop with mini supermarket inside - good range of foods, gifts, toys, magazines, papers etc and loads of freshly made sandwiches, savoury and sweet foods. Dinky coffee shop at rear, friendly staff.

Great little shop well stocked with pretty much anything you would need including local gifts. They have a fresh counter with sandwiches and sausage rolls for picnics

Fabulous little gem on the main street in Cornhill Shop Post Offece and a lovely little coffee shop at the back of the store. Very very friendly and helpful will definitely call again.
