Loulabelles in Scottish Borders

This was our second visit to Loulabelle's, the other being in 2023. Lots of delicious food plus friendly staff. We had lunch before visiting a nearby attraction, then nipped back for tea and a cake afterwards. Not cheap, but everything is delicious. The decorations include some great pictures.

Amazing food. We had the courgette and lemongrass soup which was divine. The brie, bacon and cranberry panini was lush. So gooey and tasty. Our little ones had pancakes which were also delicious. Obviously washed down with a cold irn bru! Fully recommend

Never had an order on time or correct . Only 2 customers today and still both our coffee and food was order wrong Pancakes smothered in syrup… give the customer the choice of how much they want And it’s not cheap! Definitely will not be back

What a fantastic little cafe, tucked away on the high street in Innerleithen. The staff are wonderful, very helpful and very friendly. There's a great range of food and drinks on offer, and the setting is really cosy - most welcome after a day's mountain biking. We visited twice and on both occasions chose the haggis, cheese and chilli jam panini - fantastic! There's comfortable seating (such as settee's and arm chairs), or traditional booths and tables. All in all, a great experience, and one I'd recommend.

We called in for tea and cake with our dogs after a walk today. Our dogs are both rescues and one is particularly nervous and this was their first trip to a cafe. The staff were really helpful and understanding of our needs. The tea and cake were lovely and our girls were very grateful for the gravy bones! I'm sure we'll be back!

Busy cafe and the food was ok. However we witnessed a rather unpleasant interaction of staff with a customer which was totally uncalled for. Two "older" ladies were meeting, one arrived before the other and had a coffee. When her friend arrived they moved to a table beside us and the coffee was spilled. The lady rushed to the kitchen, apologised and offered to clean the spillage. The reaction of the female member of staff was not what one would have wished, she was obviously annoyed and made no effort to be pleasant and make the ladies feel at ease. She made them move to another table despite them asking to remain where they were as the table was more comfortable for them. No-one in the cafe was left unaware and we were told to be careful of the wet floor. My little girl even said - ladies very sad Mummy. This was our first and last visit.

Had to queue to get a menu as there were none on the tables. No one came to take an order, so queued again. Ordered two soups and a glass of water. The water and cutlery arrived 10 minutes later. After another 30 minutes the soups finally arrived! Unfortunately they were inedable as they were barley luke warm. We queued again to complain - only to be met with a less than adequate apology and an reluctant offer to heat them up, which we declined. We had wasted enough time already. The cafe was not particularly busy, service overall was very slow and amateurish. We left without partaking of the soups.

Dog friendly but not people friendly! Won't be returning again Very bad experiences. Tried several times now.

After a 3 1/2 hour drive, totalling almost 200 miles, this was a most welcome stop. The awning above says it is also known as ‘The Whistle Stop Cafe’, although this is from a previous incarnation, and no, they don’t serve fried green tomatoes, or barbecue! (Film buffs will know what I’m talking about.) Louloubelle’s is owner-led and managed, and they do a really good job. We had the Meaty Brunch, consisting of bacon, sausage, fried egg, Louloubelle’s Spicy Beans, and haggis, served on homemade flat bread. Very tasty, and so filling that we had to bring home the tasty cakes we took a fancy to. All the cakes and pastries are freshly baked daily, and the pastry is the lightest and tastiest ever. Thank you Louloubelle’s. When we are next up your way, you will get another visit - and this time my husband will remember to have cash on him for the tip!!

Nice choice of food and cakes, great customer service. Had mushroom bagel and pancakes, big portions so we had to get cakes to go :)

Excellent lunch (with cake) in a lovely friendly cafe, full of families, couples, cyclists….. We sat inside but they have tables outside on the pavement too.

Very kind staff and delicious food dogs. The above was written by my ten year old and I have to agree with her. Lovely dog-friendly cafe with friendly staff, good paninis and a fine collection of cakes / sweet treats.

Squeezed ourselves in on a busy lunchtime to warm up after a chilly morning cycling. Great coffee and tea and a lovely veggie brunch with sausages, home-made haggis, flatbread, mushrooms, tomatoes and spicy beans. Took a while to come but it was busy. Lots of cakes with good options for those eating gluten free or plant based. A favourite stop now in Innerleithen. Best bit? I was able to warm my feet on the radiator while waiting for brunch!

Welcoming Dog friendly cafe. Accessible toilet. Pancakes with banana bacon and maple syrup wow. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Dropped in here for some lunch while in town for a football match. Nice vibe with a mix of locals and bikers/cyclists with the occasional dog thrown in the mix. We had the Green Wing Bagel with a side salad very plentiful and utterly delicious, Also the green pea and mint soup with flatbread, again simply delicious. On spying the Mint cheesecake, we succumbed to its charms and washed it down with 2 of the creamiest Cappuccinos we have ever had, divine! Lovely, attentive staff as well and well priced. Will definitely return if in the area again.

Stopped in here for a quick coffee and cake while visiting Innerleithen. The cafe was nearly full of mountain bikers but the staff found us a table. Very friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Delicious cakes. Really friendly vibe. Prices were good value for excellent product.

Excellent friendly fast service - cakes are delicious, great coffee, been a couple of times recently when out cycling, definitely plan to go again.

Happened on this place by chance after walking on the Tweed River Walk. Hubby loved his perfectly cooked bacon roll. I had a lovely lemon drizzle cake. So good!! Really great coffee and clean loos! Such pleasant staff. Would definitely recommend! Ten out of ten!

A wee gem. Great cakes as well as more substantial eats. Would recommend the pecan tart. Very clean with friendly staff

The joy of being able to get out again if that you can rediscover those places you've missed so much. Coming back here is wonderful - the food is fantastic I had a tasty haggis Panini followed by cake all accompanied by streaming hot tea and my partner had a bacon roll followed by carrot cake (and tea). We left with warm and full bellies having been made to feel very welcome. Highly recommended
