It was with great joy we came across this chocolatier. It's almost impossible to buy good chocolates now, so I jumped at the chance. Although the shop wasn't due to open until 10, they were getting chairs and tables out so I asked if they could serve me with some chocolates, which they did. There was an amazing selection - hard to chose. The owner who served me was lovely. The chocolates are made on site and I have to say they were EXCELLENT! I highly recommend - not only for the chocs but for the lovely owners! Wish I lived nearer.

This place is a must if you are a lover of ice cream. I think that this must be the most delicious and creamy ice cream that I have ever tasted. The staff were very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Don't forget to pick up some homemade tablet or chocolates while you are there - both were fabulous.

Looked forward to a return to this lovely shop after being away for a few years to sample the incredible Orkney ice cream only to find that they no longer offer this and just offer a very mediocre ice cream instead. Very disappointing. Bring back the Scottish ice cream. Also return the seats so you could enjoy a coffee indoors during the winter months.

Simply Delicious has a wonderful selection of Ice Cream, Chocolates, Sweets, cakes and Hot and Cold drinks. The presentation of the shop is absolutely beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. The coffee was very nice and the Millionaires Shortbread is the best I've ever had. The lady serving in the shop was friendly and professional.

I'm afraid this was a total disappointment. After standing in a long queue for 15 minutes and leaving my dad in the abbey looking forward to his rum and raisin flavoured cone, I got my two chocolate dipped cones and tasted it with high expectations. Admittedly I am used to The Perfect Scoop in East Wemyss, which is unbeatable, but the ice cream and even the cone lacked any flavour whatsoever. I could have been eating a cheap vanilla ice cream from the Supermarket. If the previous reviewer is correct, b ring back the Orkney ice-cream I say! Tip - don't bother waiting in the queue!

Well - what a disappointment. This place has always been a 'must visit' in Melrose. Superb ice cream (Orkney) and always a pleasure. Sadly, the ice cream provider has changed. Visited 26 March 2022 for 1st time in a couple of years. Nothing like it used to be. Raspberry Ripple had very little ripple, and the vanilla lacked flavour. Blackberry sorbet was not recognisable as blackberry - just a blue-ish colour and little flavour. So sad.

While I am not sure why people visit places like this - I would certainly advise that you go here if you are anywhere within 200 miles of it !!! The coffee was good and the traybakes were just to die for. I had a Strawberry Rocky Road (if my memory serves - I've been in rapture ever since) and there simply are no words to describe how fabulous they are. We also bought sevel other items to take away with us - Pisco Sour Nibs, various treats suitable for vegans and Iron Brew Pastilles. If you don't know what Iron Brew is - you have led a very unfulfilled life and need to get out more - and we recommend Simply Delicious as a starting point. Although the staff were rushed off their feet when we were there - they were very friendly and welcoming, so give them a break, don't be in a hurry - you won't regret it. We will be back.

We just had coffee and delicious rocky road and the malteaser cake, the cappuccino was one of the best I have ever had. Lots of unusual chocolate and sweet treats on sale and some gorgeous Emma Bridgewater pottery. If the use by dates for the sweets had been longer I would have bought some Christmas gifts !!!! The ice cream looked very good too. Give them a visit, keep individual shops going.

Stopped here for coffee and ice cream and both were superb. Friendly staff were very helpful and obliging. We sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed delicious ice cream and coffee. Prices were very reasonable. The shop has an amazing array of old fashioned sweets .....very tempting but not good for the teeth! The only black mark was when we were outside enjoying the ambience the next table to us decided to light up cigarettes. None of us are smokers so we were forced to cut our visit short. Cigarette smoke spoiled our visit. A simple remedy would be to make all the outside seating area no smoking.

We were running late for lunch as we were visiting from Carlisle, we arrived in Melrose & parked in the car park opposite the shop. We decided we'd grab a sandwich but as we walked in we saw the lovely ice cream counter & just how busy this little lovely place got! I have a friend who lives in Melrose and says it's always quite busy and very popular. The decor and seating arrangement was just adorable, it wasn't exclusively just a sandwich bar or cafe, there were also gifts & confectionary and the signs on the wall explained how old money worked etc, so a nice bit of education while we waited. The wait was absolutely worth it, the lady who dealt with our order was so pleasant & just lovely, it was an absolute pleasure to visit here and the food both sandwiches and ice cream were exquisite.

As a local to Melrose, I often enjoy an ice cream from your store! However, a few weeks ago on a sunny day my mother and I decided to get some paninis for our lunch to take away and enjoy out in the fresh air.However, when we went to order our food the older women who "greeted" us, replied with "if you have to!!!" When I ordered the paninis with a rather annoyed tone and look on her. Be that as it may she continued to make the paninis and once they were ready slammed them on the counter and requested the payment! Well I won't be back, Made by Marion are much friendlier, and if it is such an inconvenience to make two paninis then don't serve them at all!

Following your visit to the Abbey, just opposite the exit we wanted to have a tea/coffee in this small self-service corner sweet shop. When we entered, we knew we will try the funniest looking cakes (and forget about energy intake and dangers of refined sugar and so on). Bicycle fanatics, hikers and cultural visitors share the few tables outside, in front of the shop, sipping a hot drink and taking a break. I would not say you should travel thousands of mile to see this place, but once you are there, you should give it a try. (Mind you, my cup of tea and coconut-lemon cake were delicious. And the rainbow-cake one of my fellow travellers chose - see photo - looked as crazy as the flagship animal of the Scots, the Unicorn.)

Despite the locally produced ice cream looking great, with an interesting range of flavours, I opted for a slice of orange and poppy seed cake to go with my decaf tea. Very friendly service, though I had a bit of a wait, owing mainly to other customers clamouring for ice cream on an unseasonally hot afternoon. Tables outside (more or less opposite Melrose Abbey), and nice to find one in the shade. I also bought meringues to go. They went down very well with strawberries to round off my evening meal!

Have always visited here for the most delicious ice-cream ever. It used to be Graham's and has been there for a very long time. Well worth a visit

Delicious vanilla ice cream at a very reasonable price. It has a few tables outside and offers lovely cakes and drinks, unfortunately it wasn't a day for sitting outside as it was pouring with rain! The vanilla ice cream we had was very scrumptious, thank you.

Normally can't complain, but went in with my daughter today and witnessed a staff member wiping ice cream off the step then proceeded to serve me. When I requested she washed her hands was very brash as was her colleague. She went through the back and pretty sure she just pretened to wash them.

Have been going to this shop for years when it was Graham's and their ice cream is still amazing. There is a huge variety and all very scrumptious. They also sell the usual gifts to take home plus everything you need for a self catering holiday.

The first shop I've been in where you can try before you buy. I'm a fusspot about baking etc but this place hit the spot with the best tablet I've tasted (well, as good as my own!).Usually, shop tablet is rubbish but this was the real deal.Carrot cake was very good and their multi flavoured tiny meringues - ginger, lemon and chilli etc - were gorgeous.Ice cream looked pretty good but didn't try.A beautiful shop to be in and in a great location opposite the Abbey.

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.

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

A great find. Friendly service and delicious generously filled toasted club sandwiches. Super coffee too. Would definitely return if we revisit this area in the future.
