St Cuthberts Coffee Shop in Scottish Borders

We were directed here by the Hotel next door who were not serving food till 5pm. We walked into this very old interesting church to be met by some very friendly locals who made us very welcome. The building is being renovated so don't expect to find a fully functioning café, They offered us a meal deal of soup and a roll, a slice of cake and a coffee for £5 it was all served very nicely by the locals. If your passing give it a try to support their work. The soup and cake was delicious and a bargain at £5.

We had the pleasure of stopping here for some refreshments this morning. It was made much more special to us to meet the minister who is renovating the building. He told us a little of his very interesting life. Good luck with the future work. Hope we get back this way again sometime to hear more of your travels. My coffee and cake were lovely. My husband enjoyed the sandwich and cake too. Fresh and delicious.

Outside seating and plenty of room inside. A large area is still being built and St Aidan's is being fathfully restored from its previously ruinous condition. Lots of books to read, interpretation boards describe the work done so far on the church and items such as socks are for sale. Somewhat eccentric in a pleasant and refreshing way. The food was fresh and well presented. A few local books for sale.

I live this wee hidden gem of a café. I visited in 2018 and was cycling through Morebattle again this month hoping it would be open...and it was. I had remembered sitting out in the sun enjoying a coffee and the lovely welcoming atmosphere. It is still the same. Even the sun was still shining. It is not in the centre of the village. It is the last building en route to Town Yetholm.

Hot tea and coffee. Delicious cakes. Interesting back story on the church and its past uses. Hikers arewelcomed.

Walkers on St. Cuthbert's Way will probably all stop in Morebattle for the delicious soup and hospitality of the Pedersens, who are restoring a 19th century church to be a cafe and place of worship. A wonderful project, and the refreshments are first-rate.

This a a large church which is still used regularly for services. It has a coffee shop in the entrance hall. Nice selection of cakes. We had a great chat with the minister and 2 of her volunteers. Still a lot of work to be done to the interior but they should be praised for what has already been done.

We stopped by at the cafe on our walk toward Kirk Yetholm. There were some welcoming seats outside at the front of the cafe and a chance to rest the weary legs! Coffee was freshly made, very reasonably priced and the lady serving it very helpful and friendly.

Stopped here for a welcome coffee before talking next part of st cuthberts way. Friendly couple running it and seems very interested in their customers and likewise we were curious about their place. As well as basic snacks they sell locally produced crafts, postcards etc. All in aid of restoring the church into a pilgrimage centre with Christian ethos. It is a work in progress but it’s great to see locals working hard to improve their community and sustain weary hikers along the way! Tip: U can buy great st cuthberts way drink bottles here for a fiver. Their dog was so friendly too!!!

What a find. Friendly folks and especially the dog, who greeted us warmly on arrival. Folks working at setting up a pilgrimage welcome centre for St Cuthberts Way. Good tea and cake, gifts and postcards on sale and a truly friendly chat.

We were walking through Morebattle on the second half of our walk to Wooler as part of St Cuthbert’s Way. This little church/tiny tea shop was a welcome reprieve from the heat. We grabbed a cold drink, sat and chatted for a wee bit then carried on our way. Friendly, welcoming and refreshing!

I love unique places and meeting interesting new people. This fits that description perfectly. This couple was so lovely and we loved hearing about their renovations of this beautiful old church from the 1800s!

We stopped for a cup of tea whilst walking on St Cuthberts Way. We were greeted by the dog - whose duty it is to say hello to all new guests before climbing back into his basket. We had two large pots of tea and two pieces of cake and an interesting conversation with the owners who are restoring the building as part of a community interest company. Prices were very, very reasonable. Tea, conversation - and the opportunity to help a new venture on its way ...

A very warm welcome from the couple trying to restore the former St. Aidan's Chapel into a local Community venue as well as a place for spiritual contemplation. Excellent tea & coffee with the additional benefit of a small selection of plants for sale as well as hand-knitted Hebridean hats, socks & gloves plus a local wood turner's fine efforts. Well worthy of a stop, either if just passing through or finishing off the Pennine Way nearby.

A great place for a stop in Morebattle when walking in the area. A friendly place with a great range of teas and coffee with a chance to see the renovation of the old church building
