Lovely tea room , fab menu choices , all homemade , the vanilla and blueberry scones were absolutly delicious . the high tea was fab . the restaurant itself is quirky and spotless clean . the gentleman who served us was so friendly and kind , and was so helpful whilst choosing from the menu .,I think your undercharging for this venue , the quality of the food and portion is generous .

Absolutely amazing. Super friendly staff, delicious food. I had the bbq chicken panini and my partner had a jacket potato with chilli con carne and cheese. Gorgeous place to be the interior is just beautiful. We decided to have a pot of tea which was served with a biscuit. Then for dessert we had their delicious Victoria sponge and chocolate cake which went down an absolute treat. We will definitely be back

What a lovely little tearoom. Great service from a nice guy. Lovely homemade cakes. We had the coffee and walnut cake- homemade - very light,spot on. We would've eaten there too if it were a little bit later in the day. The cooked food looked lovely too. Super reasonable prices. Very clean. Highly recommended. Ps Coldstream is very limited for cafes, food.Sad really.High St reminiscent of many a high street today - nothing of interest- looks unloved.

I was going to get a morning coffee and scone here, but despite the cafe being empty they would not let me in with my dog (a clean and quiet whippet). That's their prerogative of course, but don't bother trying here if you have a pet with you.Just to note, they have a cafe full of plastic screens, so are obviously taking COVID precautions very seriously.

What an absolutely delightful place.Despite the social distancing rules the atmosphere and the staff was so warm and welcoming.The food was outstanding and the main thing was that it was so fresh which was brilliant.I would definitely recommend a visit to the Madd Hatters Tearoom.Thanks as well for the recommendation to visit Norham Castle. An absolutely fantastic and very atmospheric place.This was part of a visit to the Borders and although only a short visit plenty was seen and it was a most enjoyable time during our staycation.

Had not long eaten so popped in for a cuppa. Was soon tempted by cake, after being informed they had just out the oven scones (scones, pronounced scones as in scones, not scones as in scones). Friendly service, good tea and enormous scones

When you visit a chain coffee shop you sell your kidney to afford a piece of cake that fits on a teaspoon. Not here, huge slab of homemade yummyness, compliments to Mrs Baker. Clean mindbending acid trip decor coupled with great coffee and super friendly service.

Stopped in Coldstream on our long drive to Edinburgh, and this place was the perfect lunch break!Friendly owner, great range of coffees and teas, and simple but tasty sandwiches with the softest bread. The highlight though was dessert. All the homemade cakes screamed ‘Eat Me!’ it was a tough choice to pick one. Also the slices served were huge!!Very good value for money too with 2 of us eating, plus drinks and cakes for under £20.Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area.

What a great find, we just called in for a coffee and tea on our way back home. A warm welcome and some nice chairs to sit in. The place looks quirky and has a homy feel to it. Everything is homemade and that gives an extra edge to the experience.The coffee is freshly brewed and there are plenty of choices, as well as for the tea selection. The place has friendly staff and willing to do everything to make you feel at home. I got the feeling that the place was also used by locals aswell.

A light lunch of scrambled eggs and beans, with a lovely latte, but had to resist the delicious looking cakes as in training for Christmas. Quite trippy setting, bizarre but wonderful, definitely felt we'd fallen down the rabbit hole, though thankfully we didn't come across the Queen of Hearts, and we could get out of the door when it came time to leave - not your usual cafe, thank God! Owner/waiter most attentive and engaging. A small intimate place with the personal touch. We loved its relaxed atmosphere.

Just driving home from Edinburgh airport after we had been to Venice, and desperate for a cup of tea. Didn't disappoint it was really nice, had a chocolate orange flapjack, and it really did taste of chocolate orange. Very reasonable prices, and the couple that own it are lovely as well. Best of it was the closed sign was up, but when the gent seen us staring hopefully through the window he let us in. Didn't have to do that but pleased he did. Thanks.

I thought the outside looked very dreary but the inside was fine, and I liked the theme. However my pannini was horrible. I didn't even eat it which is very unlike me! It was spongy and not cooked (to be fair they were very busy). The owner asked a couple on an another table if they would share their table which I thought was very bad - if they wanted to share, they would offer. I could see they were not very happy about it. The owner should not have put them in that position in my opinion. The coffee was very good, and I thought it was very reasonably priced

We live in Berwick, and have passed this tearoom dozens of times. A friend suggested that we called in sometime, and recommended their scones and Home Baking.I must admit that I'm not normally a cafe person, but we will certainly be going back to the Mad Hatters.The place was quite busy when we arrived, a good mix of visitors and borders folk, so I had a good look through the Menu before taking a seat.Like the surroundings, the owner is a bit unconventional, but not in a bad way.The range of Teas is amazing, and the cakes were just like my Granny used to make. We left with full bellies, and still with money in my pocket - Great food, and genuinely Good value. We will be becoming regulars.

There were 2 customers seated at a table for 4 and they kindly moved to a smaller table to give us a seat.Service was alright although our drinks were served first with no option given to have them before or with our food. Soup was good as were the sandwiches. Drinks, understandably, were starting to cool by the time we had eaten.Good value.

What an amazing place! I’d just walked along the river bank from Norham, and was looking for somewhere for afternoon tea before catching the bus back.It was lovely to find somewhere just a little bit different (oh, OK then, quite a LOT different!). I was made to feel very welcome, and the cream tea I ordered was absolutely delicious!There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am.

The husband moaned that it was a bit pricey but he agreed that the quality was excellent! Lovely 'themed' coffee shop. I had toasted fruit loaf and the other half had a toasted bacon sandwich. We both had lattes and both agreed they were just right.

Despite some negative reviews, we loved it here. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in and were served quickly and efficiently. The menu isn’t extensive but I don’t find that a problem. What we had was very nice. Very clean and a lovely atmosphere, where locals clearly come on a regular basis. Would recommend.

Had been looking forward to my visit made specifically to try this place out. Noone else in except the numerous staff all talking away happily to each other. After looking at menu which looked fabulous I went up to order as none of staff looked vaguely interested in taking my order. No sit down we will come to you. I sat and waited and the place started to fill. 3 other tables came in and someone came from behind the counter to clear dirty dishes that had been on a table when I went in. Finally someone came to serve me and I commented on my wait to which I was given a story about the coffee machine not working which was why staff were chatting. Hmmmmn really. Then as of course luck would have it they were out of the very thing I was there to have. I will give them another chance another day as the menu was interesting but the service was shockingly bad especially if they then are having to tell people no coffee! Zero recognition of interaction with customers and I speak as someone with a long hospitality career. Great location great menu but lacking in customer connection.

Late afternoon cuppa and cake. Nice choice of cake, can recommend gluten free carrot and empire biscuits. Pleasant helpful staff. Clean and bright, tastefully furnished . Looks like a nice lunch menu, reasonably priced. Will definately be back

What a great find! Everything homemade and absolutely delicious. Very pleasant welcoming staff and just wish we lived closer as we would make it a regular place to eat.
