First Light Cafe in Scottish Borders

What a fantastic coffee shop, variety of seats and different places to sit..Very friendly staff. Cappuccino was really nice and served hot. Victoria sponge was delicious

A lovely little coffee shop, visited with my dog for a coffee. Good prices and excellent quality with very friendly staff. The whole place is covered in books and trinkets which gives it a lovely atmosphere. I think I even saw a large jigsaw on the go which you could sit and do a bit off while you have your coffee. I didn't sample the cakes, however it was very hard to resist as they all looked amazing. All funds go to charity which is a plus!!

Excellent cafe. The coffee is of a high quality. The home-made scones, cakes and bakes are excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they keep customers' cups / mugs hanging up. The cafe is light, spacious, two large windows onto the street to watch the world go by. Many books, dvds and bric-a-brac (pay by donation). Dog-friendly. An excellent place to chill. First Light Trust is a positive and helpful venture. And I am a bona-fide customer. A lovely place to meet in Hawick.

Stopped y this cafe on 20t december. This is a cosy, welcoming cafe with comfortable seating, individual lamps for lighting and plenty of reading matter and other items to purchase. They make a good cup of coffee and have good bakery items: try the scones. The staff are most welcoming and you don't feel as if you are being hustled to vacate your seat. Would recommend this cafe and th added bonus is you are helping veterans while giving them your custom

Great coffee shop helping support local veterans. Lovely coffee and home baking along with gifts for sale and interesting items related to our forces. Staff very friendly and helpful, give it a visit if you’re in Hawick

Run for a good cause so gave it a go. Coffee was ok, but scone doughy and overpriced so would not recommend

As a group of Scone Tasters we were looking forward to visiting this new café in Hawick. We were not disappointed! The helpful staff were on hand to meet our every need and catered for our ever need with lovely coffees and a selection of fruit teas. The scones (in 4 varieties that day) were freshly baked and delicious. Preserves were on hand too, but unfortunately I missed the Plum Jam :-( The café is a part of charity which focuses on providing support for veterans of the Armed Forces and Blue Light Services with several cafes popping up around the UK with cafes in Gosport, Lancaster, Redcar, Scarborough and now Hawick. Well worth a visit for a lovely welcome and tasty bite with your hot drinks from 9.00am to 5.00pm from Monday to Saturday!
