Eastgate Theatre Peebles in Scottish Borders

On a rainy day in Peebles this was the first café we came too.So pleased we did.We both had a toasted sandwich, lots of filling.Also had a piece of coffee & walnut cake,an Ecclefechan, 1 latte,1 pot of tea.Total cost £17,very good value for money.

Terry and I decided to pot in for a cup of coffee. We were lucky inasmuch as the place was heaving. We managed to get a seat at the only table left. I've always thought that when a place is that popular it can only be good news ! We were not disappointed 🐰

Popped in for a quick lunch.Two toastie ordered.No choice of brown or white bread.One was served partially burnt! This one tasted quite nice The other,well,I,ve rarely seen such meagre filling in any toastie! Needless to say it tasted of practically nothing!Not great . The prices are reasonable but I would rather pay a bit more for something more substantial and definitely not burnt!

We visited this theatre to watch a band of multi cultural musicians, who played banjo, violin, double bass, guitar and sang. Very good show, however very poorly attended only 15 people, maybe it was a bit pricey at £17.

Visited Peebles in a group of 4 adults and 2 toddlers, the cafe staff were very cheerful, accommodating and prompt especially with the childrens food which was particularly helpful. Nice freshly made toasties and at a very reasonable price.

Popped in when out on bike for a lunch stop at 70 miles. Various toasties, soup and cake. Great prompt service and trally nice staff, lovely toastie with salad and crisps, and my usual Empire Biscuit..All helped fuel to next 60 miles. Coukd be missed as at end of main street and down a lane.

Simple food menu hosted by mildly confused but super friendly staff who tried to bring us the offerings for three other diners. Sensible prices and although a very limited range, it all tasted good.

This is a nice place to have coffee and cake.Staff friendly.Table layout good to allow for the current situation.Only gripe would be I,ve seen staff wiping cups etc.,after washing them,with,what looks like,a none too clean dishtowel! Not sure if they have come out of a dishwasher or not!Ever so slightly off puting especially at this moment in time.So please ditch the towel!!

Down in Peebles for the day we headed for the cafe at 12.00 .Plenty of social distancing in here with staff taking precautions . There seems to be the same number of tables as they have opened a function room and put tables in there . As usual it is not a large menu but we were quite happy with a soup and a sandwich ,baked potatoes are available as well . Very clean and tidy with staff wiping down tables as soon as people leave

Easy to find theatre, with public car park nearby. Friendly girl sold us refreshments - good selection. comfy seats with good view of stage.

The cafe was able to serve 9 of us at short notice. Good coffee and cakes. Very pleasant place to go after a hill walk

Dropped in for lunch today to this well run cafe beautiful homemade soup and sandwiches ,with friendly staff and a nice wee menu . It is an interesting place well used by the community . While we were sitting a group of women were getting ready for a tap dancing class there seems to be a lot of community use going on the place and it is vibrant and interesting . Well done to staff and management more towns are needing places like this

We stopped at the theatre cafe for a nice cup of coffee and a slice of carrot cake "Scrumptious". Unfortunately we did not visit the theatre itself, but may well do the next time we visit Peebles

We got a 'tip' from two of the Ladies, in the Saturday Street Market, as we went hunting sustenance before our working day began: and they, deserving of our thanks, because we got just what we needed, in a very comfortable atmosphere. not just us, as the tables were rapidly, filling up, and it just after Ten! An excellent range of cakes and scones: and bacon butties on sale. And lots of posters on the walls, showing what a vibrant place Peebles is! I shall return!

Nice quiet place for a rest and a brew. Friendly staff and well priced. Daily specials also looked nice

Found the service, coffee and food excellent, the gentleman who runs it and all the girls are pleasent and friendly. We have business in Peebles weekly and find our visit to Eastgate coffee shop now a highlight. Thank you Eastgate John &Amanda Melrose Biggar.

Nice place to go for coffee and cakes,very friendly good service and lots to view while enjoying the visit.

Toasties, drinks and sweet treats were lovely, and staff were very friendly. Parking in the car park near was easy, even though the town itself was very busy. Pleased to support the theatre by eating in the cafe.

A nice gentle cafe ready for you after a day’s hectic shopping in Peebles High Street. Very comfortable and well laid out. Quite a good choice of cakes and a magnificent bacon butty

Raw day. Great flat white coffee. Excellent large fruit scone - needed to share that . Cheerful staff.

A great place to stop in for one of the best bacon rolls to be had in Peebles. Great selection of sandwiches, cakes, drinks and amazing soup served in superb cultural surroundings. A must visit if you’re in Peebles and look out for the huge smiles on the brilliant staff.....

After a walk up the hill by the Hydra and then along the river it was difficult not to try this cafe.It does not boast the normal front appeal bu once inside as part of the theatre it is restful and gave us excellent service and good cake.

Brilliant creative community hub. Cafe staff very welcoming, lovely fresh soup each day. Love the dance studio

We stopped for a quick lunch and had paninis. The fillings are generous, and can be chosen from a list of about ten. The cakes looked so delicious that we couldn't resist, and we were not disappointed. The pear and ginger loaf was lovely!

Stopped here for lunch after walking into town from the Cardrona hotel. We both had lentil soup which was nice and came served with bread or oatcakes. I found this to be excellent as I can't eat bread and ended up with 6 oatcakes. We then finished off lunch with coffee and gingerbread. The gingerbread was to die for and only £1.50 for a large slab. The staff were all friendly and smiley especially the young girl with the light brownish hair that served me.There are tables both inside and out. Visit here you won't be disappointed.

We visited for coffee and cake before going for a walk along the river. I had a choice of 5 different gluten free cakes!!! Spoilt for choice. I decided on the lemon cake and wasn’t disappointed. It was a generous portion and I enjoyed every crumb. The coffee was good too :)

We stopped here for an afternoon coffee and a cake. It is self service style with tables inside and outside. It was a lovely day so we were able to sit at the tables outside although you are in the shade. There are toilet facilities inside.

In Peebles for the day and noticed a few market stalls in front of the theatre which drew our attention to the cafe. Too wet to sit outside but a limited number of tables inside with an art gallery to the right. Very nice light lunch with a lovely toasted bacon, brie and cranberry panini and a latte.

Brought tickets for The Honeycutters, not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.

very nice place - menu alright. Staff very friendly - will be going back again. We went for a day trip and we enjoyed it.

Staff very friendly. Prices reasonable. So much on the menu to offer. Plenty tables. Excellent cleanliness

Excelente lugar para ir a tomar un café por la mañana o una comida ligera. Mi nieto le encanta su babyccino. Se hornea un poco limitado, pero lo que está perfectamente bien. El almuerzo es sandwichera y sus variantes, así como una gran variedad de sandwiches. El personal es encantador y atención a sus clientes.

Very nice afternoon tea and cakes very clean and very nice staff and very reasonable priced would recommend this to anyone visiting Peebles

Nos visita la señora chicos ayer para mostrar. Tomamos café y un pastel para pasar el tiempo después de encontrar aparcamiento. El servicio, el personal y los refrescos estaban bien. El frente de la casa es muy pequeña y desordenada haciendo difícil llegar al ascensor y aseos a menos que la zona está vacía. Hay mesas afuera, que están muy bien para el buen tiempo, pero no es comida importante ofrecido. Hay buenas opciones al alcance de la mano. Aparcamiento en el aparcamiento de pago que está al otro lado de la manzana, pero a un corto paseo a pie. Los asientos son muy estrechas en el teatro y el entorno es íntimo, el espectáculo fue genial y bien vale la pena cualquier deficiencia. Yo aconsejaría ir a verlos en los prados durante el festival. Hemos hecho que en años anteriores, pero mi mujer considera que demasiado estos días. Los voluntarios fueron muy serviciales y amables a mi esposa. Sólo me gustaría l podría ser más positivo sobre el lugar.

Enjoyed a night at this nice small theatre. Clean, small bar/ coffee shop. Friendly staff. Looks like they have a diverse program and good support from the local public. Saw Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly. They are both looking well. A Great little show.

Stopped off here for a coffee when at Peebles for the day. Smallish but comfortable place to eat. Wheelchair friendly and has an art gallery off the coffee shop.

Always busy, the staff are very friendly and very efficient, the snacks/light lunch offerings are very reasonably priced and it has a great atmosphere. Only 50 yards or so from the main car park this is the place to relax before or after your visit to Peebles! We certainly did and hope to do so again!

Went here to see the David Hayman play and enjoyed it. Its a lovely little theatre. It has a bar and coffee shop, is in the town centre and is very reasonably priced.

Very Pleasant Freindly Staff Great Value for Money.Very Fresh Cakes and great Coffee . Nice and warm Close to car park

Popped in for a concert, but also had lunch earlier. Tasty home made soups, cheap and good. Lot's of mum's and toddlers that day but a nice place to for a quick bite. The concert hall is tiny but bery well done, friendly and welcoming with a bar too. Well done Eastgate, a lovely addition to the town!

Popped in for lunch and coffee more than once. Always friendly smiley service and nice food. Coffee is good and also a nice intimate venue for evening shows

We visited twice on the weekend of the POFF. This was an excellent event. Well done! This is a great community venue and an asset to Peebles and the surrounding area.

Out for the day and stopped here for a coffee. We noticed that there was a show on that night. Albeit it was with restricted view. Snow was very good and we all had a great unexpected night out.

Visiting Peebles and looking for a cafe we were lucky to find this little gem a small cafe part of a theatre complex friendly staff a very good pot of tea and the tea cakes were delicious

simple food, well presented and prepared, with coffee and teas at a very reasonable price. perfect. The cafe is part of the small art theatre in Peebles, so there are not many tables, but there is usually space to sit. Very accessible for children and wheelchairs.

Excellent venue for entertainment for kids. Staff pleasant and very helpful . Reasonable prices for everything. Good access for buggies wheelchairs etc.

Spied this today after after walking through Peebles main street. Fabulous find. Great service from a young gent. Good selection of cakes and hot /cold drinks. Would have had lunch had I found the cafe at the theatre sooner. Opted for cherry loaf and coffee cake. Both fresh. Both very tasty.Nice clean location. Friendly staff. Family friendly. Will go here every time over the newly opened Costa. Go local.

Having passed this establishment over the years this was our first time to go in. A big mistake on our part as it was excellent value, comfortable and staff very pleasant and accommodating. We returned again and again. Tea coffee sandwiches soup etc you cannot go wrong all quite inexpensive.

Stopped here for a coffee. What a find. Young lady serving us was lovely as were the young man and the other two ladies. Our coffee and shortbread was perfect. Thankyou.

Goog tea and taste scone. I really enjoy setting here and have cup of tea. Nice place and good service.

A continuous stream of fabulous plays, music and other entertainment. A great bar with snacks and a space for exhibitions. Lots happening.

Food great and good value. Service poor, tables not cleared, very messy inside. Lots of obstacles in the way of moving around.

Friendly service, no nonesense food at a price we couldn't believe on a busy day when an arts festival was in full swing

We attended a concert at the Eastgate Theatre. It was our first visit there but I will be keeping a lookout for other events there that interest us. It is a very small concert venue but means that you feel like you are almost on stage with the band. We were in the second row but there were no seats in front of ours as the space was reserved for wheelchair use.There is a bar where you can have a drink before the concert and also reserve drinks for the interval.It is a lovely little venue.

This café is part of the Eastgate Arts Centre. It has a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.There is a selection of baking and lunch items. The quality of the food is pretty good but not spectacular. On this occasion I had a nice toasted teacake and coffee. There were gluten free options too which was perfect for my son.They have a basket of kids' books which helps for keeping young ones entertained and on their seat!I like popping in here in the knowledge that you're supporting the arts by buying from them.

Popped in for lunch. Lovely helpful staff & great food.It was a lovely sunny day so we were able to sit outside & enjoy our snack lunch.

Went with my Son, Daughter in law and Grand Children for coffee and snacks, GrandChild had kiddies lunch box, 2 coffees, pot of tea, toasted teacake, shortbread and crisps all for less than £10.00 , we were made to feel welcome and the staff were welcoming, have been before and will be going again for sure

A lovely little cafe in a converted church at the end of Peebles Main Street, this cafe is part of the town theatre and has a busy, but friendly atmosphere attracting locals and visitors alike. We had paninis which were offered with a variety of fillings at lunchtime. They were hot and delicious, not lacking in filling!! Served with a large side salad and delicious hot coffee.A great place to people watch and catch up with friends!!

Were in town for a few days seeing friends/family and popped in here for a coffee.Its nice but has a kind of too big feel, very open and noisy. Nice coffee but wouldn't make a point of goin back.

Peebles has some good restaurants. But if all you want is a coffee and toastie this will do fine. Nice toilets.

Popped in for a coffee on arriving in Peebkes. Cafe is part if cinema / theatre so when you eat here you support a good cause. Comfy seats and a good selection of coffee. Huge portions of very decent cake and a nice staff. Give it a go and fell good!
