The Coffee Tree in Scottish Borders

Visited today and really impressed by the size of the sandwiches and paninis…very generous portions and really tasty too. It was like the leaning tower of chicken sub. 😋😋😋 Cakes are also lovely as was the coffee and tea. Really busy but a few tables. Definitely recommend if you are in /stopping by Galashiels and just 10 mins from the station.

Popped in for a coffee and cake. Very nice atmosphere. Cake and scones were delicious, and reasonable priced. Definite revisit on the cards.

We were in the Borders last weekend and had brunch here. My hubby had a breakfast of bacon, sausages, mushrooms,eggs and beans. It looked so appetising and he thoroughly enjoyed it with toast and coffee.Which I have to say, is the freshest, most delicious coffee we have had in so long. I believe the coffee is a local one. I had sourdough toast, avocado and poached eggs to die for. I also asked if I could have a sliced tomato with mine,it was sprinkled with mild chilli flakes,and presented beautifully. Such a delicious plateful! We brought away a selection of bakes which we had later on with family and the lime and coconut sponge was awesome ☺️ We were struck by how clean,fresh and neat it is and how friendly, efficient and lovely the staff were. If you find yourself in Galashiels,just try it!! ❤️

Great Coffee and a great lunch . Small coffee shop but good ☕ A small visit at the Scottish Borders town Galashiels. Now back to Edinburgh

Visited this cafe whilst in Galashiels on 27th May. Lovely range on menu to choose from, a lot of it homemade. Prices were very reasonable and the staff were very helpful. Will make a point of visiting again and would definitely recommend to others.

A lovely take away lunch. Really tasty imaginative toasted sandwiches and lovely mixed salads. Very many thanks to the Coffee tree.

Recently visited this Cafe for a light lunch. Everything in place for Covid 19. A very pleasant lady took me to my table. I must say that the toasted sandwich and side salad I order was about the best I have tasted. The food was well presented and the surroundings spotless. Thank you and keep up the good work.

We wanted to try some Borders specialities whilst in the area , and this was the right place. Good breakfast with Haggis, and to follow Selkirk Bannock. Staff were kind and happy to explain new food to us.

Went in for a quick lunch with my mum.. Well what a fantastic place.. Very friendly and welcoming had a fantastic lunch.. And nothing was a problem..well done coffee tree

Lots of choice for such a small establishment. Great scones and tray bakes. Lovely staff and efficient service.

Fantastic homemade soup and friendly ,helpful staff. The choice of sandwiches and cakes was excellent. The light,airy decor made for a very pleasant meal.Thank you

Fantastic home made cakes, great atmosphere with lovely, friendly staff. Highly recommend this little gem 5*****

The coffee tree is a lovely friendly cafe, the meals and snacks homemade and so tasty 😋. Since our first visit we enjoyed the company atmosphere and staff so much we go every week after our craft group.

- I actually should have asked for the recipe but forgot - do try them if you can. Lovely hot chocolate, friendly staff, small and cosy establishment.

We stopped visiting when they refused to book tables ahead. Now a change of owners and a change of attitude. The menu has expanded and provides for breakfasts light lunches and coffes plus cakes and scones. We had soup, yummy, patty and oatcakes, breakfast and macaronni cheese. A good location and a friendly manner means that we shall be back.

I have visited this cosy little cafe a few times recently. The ladies in cafe are very polite with a great friendly approach. The food is so delicious and they cater to every dietary need which is fantastic. The 2 ladies in the kitchen who baked the mint aero tray bake are wonderful. Will definitely be back again soon.

Can’t begin to describe how amazing the coffee tree is firstly the staff Emma and Pamela are so friendly, they make you feel so welcome and always have a smile on their faces. The menu has a huge range of food, the home made cakes and tray bakes are brilliant! They even have gluten free products which a lot of cafes don’t have! Very clean premises, and the staff are great with children and have plenty of treats for them too. Can’t wait to go back!!

What a gem of a place fantastic service and food... The owner is very attentive to all food intolerance and made me feel very welcome and at ease... Can not recommend this fantastic place enough.. The girls go above and beyond to help if anyone is ever in galashiels make sure you pay a visit to the coffee tree you won't be disappointed

Stopped in Gala for an hour or so and lucky enough to find this wee gem. Coffee was lovely and the cakes home-made and fresh. Really glad we tried and would have no hesitation using again+++

The Coffee Tree has a really good - unusually good - selection of gluten-free items. I could have chosen pretty much anything from the menu because they have gluten-free bread and are willing to make any sandwich with it. There's also a good selection of sweet items and TWO kinds of scones. The coffee is also good and the seats are comfortable - I sat in the wee window seat and watched the world go by. The person serving (possibly the owner) was very friendly and helpful and cheery. A lovely place. I'll be back.

Just back from a lovely day out to galashiels for the first time to catch up with extended family who own this fantastic cafe, made very welcome by Kelly, Kath and Peter. Not forgetting Blair Morgan.

Popped into the cafe on Monday afternoon after work for a catch up with my friend. She had recommended it to me for the coffee and scones. Sadly there were no scones left but the orange sponge made up for it. Bright cosy and friendly cafe with lovely staff. Latte came in a mug which was bliss. Going to go back later in the week.

Lovely food and cakes. The soup is truly “souperb” staff are extremely friendly and helpful, nothing is a bother to them. I can thoroughly recommend you visit this small coffee shop if you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed

Had a lovely coffee and cake here. The service was very good and although a small enterprise we felt well looked after.

Can’t accommodate parties of three! Pathetic customer service. Need to really be more welcoming. Would not recommend

When I am in Galashiels this is my go to cafe. There is always a warm and friendly welcome. The cafe is very clean and the food is well prepared and presented with care. The soups are delicious and very popular,so you need to get there early. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners.

This small coffee shop is well worth a visit. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the food and baking is absolutely delicious. I can recommend any of the light lunches. A place not to miss if you’re in Galashiels

I have been to The Coffee Tree several times for a lunch out and break from the office and every time I have enjoyed lovely food and wonderful service. the food is all home made and the baking is divine. Delicious coffees are also available. this is my favourite place to for breakfast, lunch or coffee and a cake in Galashiels!

Popped in by total chance, what a great find. The food and coffee were excellent and the service was superb. Do yourself a favour if in Galashiels go there as soon as you can a great cafe

Popped in today for first visit as I had half an hour to spare before work. Had a Cuppa tea and a Treacle Scone. Deeelicious scone! Excellent service.

Went here for a coffee because I've heard the coffee here is brilliant but I had to wait 20 mins to get served. First thing the lady said when I got in was "it's table service, we're coming to you and it's quite busy now so it will take a while." I looked around and they had 4 tables, but maybe that's busy for them. I wasn't greeted or anything, coffee was alright but I'd rather go to Costa. Not impressed and won't go back.

I have used this place for a quick coffee and bite on numerous occasions, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the place is always clean. The coffee is always nice and hot, and there is plenty of choice of cakes, a lot of which are home made.

A warm friendly welcome awaits u as soon as u open the door, small maybe about max 24 covers but it is lovely and comfortable seats I had cheese and ham sandwiches with a latte sandwiches cut to 3 were big and lovely and coffee, rocca, was just the spot, great, will be back.

Out for the day, fancied a coffee, and fell into this place. We got a great welcome, a nice choice of drinks, and local knowledge from Kelly. A real find, would highly recommend.

Good clean little coffee shop would recommend friendly staff excellent home baking good place to go for mid-morning coffee or light lunch

The Coffee Tree is my favourite place to have coffee, breakfast or lunch in Galashiels. The service is so friendly and the food is all home made and delicious. They serve lovely big coffees which are made with freshly made espresso. I love that you can pop in for a warm croissant served with jam for a simple but indulgent breakfast. It is a gem of a café and I can't wait for my next treat. Don't leave without trying: the milkshakes, Cappucinos, home made soup and any of the home baking! Enjoy!

We popped into The Coffee Tree while our car was being serviced. We ordered a latte each and a piece of sticky toffee cake for my husband and a cherry scone for me. The lattes were huge and lovely and hot. The stick toffee cake came with a little jug of hot toffee sauce and a strawberry and my scone came with butter and jam. They were both delicious and tasty. We will definitely be back at lunchtime to sample the other offerings.

This is a family run tea shop so friendly whenever I go I have the quiche it is the best pastry I have tasted my friends have the Scandinavian roll and they love it you get plenty to fill you up

We were very impressed with our first visit to The Coffee Tree today. Our soup, Scandinavian roll, tea/coffee and a fantastic selection of cakes were first class. The cafe and staff were excellent and would certainly be our choice on any future visit to Galashiels.

This cafe is a real gem in Galashiels, with friendly and welcoming staff, delicious homemade food and cakes and good coffee.

First time my friend and I visited Galashiels. We found this fantastic coffee shop and I cannot recommend it enough. My friend has a nut allergy and other allergies and is vegetarian so it's not always easy to find a place, the staff here were so helpful and we had no problems. They also introduced us to the Scandinavian roll (I think it's called that) which is UNREAL!! The staff were lovely, the café is so cute and the food was so great! Definitely worth it :)

Excellent food and service, perfect for early morning coffee or teas, lunches and afternoon teas. The service is good and friendly.

Been here twice recently and on both occasions it has been excellent. The food is all freshly made and delicious and beautifully presented and the home baking is to die for. Fab coffee and the sundaes looked amazing. Very friendly and family run with a lovely atmosphere. Also exceptionally good value for money, my partner and I had a huge lunch, tea, coffee etc for £10 each which is outstanding when compared to the 'chain' coffee shops.

This is a lovely little coffee shop in the middle of the town ideally placed in Bank Street.

We didn't like Galashiels but we loved this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and can't do enough to make you happy and comfortable. The food is freshly made and of a very high quality - this does mean it takes a little longer to arrive, but we thought it was well worth the wait.

Absolutely love this wee place. We must go about once a fortnight. Perfect for lunch or just a coffee and a slice of cake. Everything's home made and the coffee is really nice. Soup is always lively too.

Really nice coffee shop that also serves delicious small meals. The food is made fresh and the helpings are substantial. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, well worth a visit if you are in Galashiels

Went in with my 3 kids and my mum for something to eat. The soup (which was Italian vegetable) was absolutely stunning and the Scandinavian rolls served with it are delectable. Kids had hot chocolate and a cake....it's the second time in so many weeks I've popped in for some lunch and looking forward to my next visit which will be next Wednesday (28th sept) with a friend.

This is a family run business,and you get treated like your'e a visitor within their own home, always a welcome smile when you enter,such a good atmosphere,great home made food (soup wonderful ) i even ask for the recipe ! and everything is spotlessly clean

Small, friendly and spotlessly clean coffee/tea room serving very good food from a small menu. The customer focus here is amazing, they really want you to return and tell others!

We stopped in for a cuppa on our way home from BGH - my husband had visited before & I knew the coffee must be good as he won't make a return visit anywhere if it's not! :-) We just had a cuppa along with a home-bake each but everything was delicious. It's a lovely, cosy place & you couldn't ask for a friendlier welcome. Everything is freshly baked & the home-bakes on offer change daily depending on what the Mum & daughter team fancy making :-) We'll definitely be visiting whenever we're in Gala - just as well we don't live nearer or we'd be popping in to sample the daily changes! Thank you.

Visited This Lovely coffee shop on many occasions.Mum and Daughter are very happy to see us and very attentive and not over powering.The Cakes,Teas ,Breakfasts in fact everything we've ever had has been delicious.The Shop is Always Clean and tables cleared upon entering shop if they haven't had the time to do so.The Toilet Is Always Clean And Fresh.I walked by the other day and the daughter was lovingly plumping and placing the cushions back in place at one of the window seats :-).

Had a lovely coffee and catch up with friends in this pretty, cosy wee cafe in Galashiels. Highly recommend the scones!!!! Mum and daughter who run cafe are just so friendly, feels like you're having a coffee at home. Lovely lunch and breakfast menu too.

Stumbled upon this small inviting coffee shop while visiting family in Galashiels. It was so good and welcoming that we returned almost daily. The coffee is good, all homemade cakes and pastries are fabulous and the staff was welcoming and adequately attentive. Place was very clean and bright. It felt like home. I have travelled the world but very rarely come across a place as great as this.

we had a lovely coffee and scone here the staff were very attentive and chatty. nicely decorated made you feel at home . it is situated across from lovely gardens so you had a nice view.

Small, independent coffee/tea shop - an afternoon stop here made our day. Thanks for the welcome and the chat. Delicious tea and lovely cakes. The cosy interior is welcoming and hospitable. As another reviewer said, nothing was too much trouble. Best of luck with this still-new enterprise - we need more places like this in our world.

A nice small coffee stop. The decor is pleasant and the staff friendly. Nice outlook towards the gardens. However it is very small and cramped. The coffee is good and the cakes were nice but there is little here beyond soup and salad plus ice cream. I wish them well in their enterprise.

When we visited The Coffee Tree had onoy been opened a month or two. The cafe is small and intimate, with a clean bright and modern homely feel. Its family run and they are just lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is exceptionally good. The best ham salad roll I have ever had. The roll was light, crusty, and delicious with lots of seeds. The ham was very good qualiy off the bone from a local source. We will be back here soon to enjoy the wondrful experience.
