The Spotty Dog in Scottish Borders

Great atmosphere food and service, and a shop with top quality products for sale, fresh sandwiches and delicious cake and a excellent cheese counter

We stopped here for take away coffee and bacon rolls en route from Newcastle to Edinburgh. We are so glad we did! Great little find both bacon rolls and coffee excellent, very pleasant service. My daughter also reports the chocolate muffins are better in Scotland based on the one she bought from the Deli. Don’t stop in Jedburgh stop here!

We were staying at a local lodge park and popped into the shop several times for coffee's & cakes. The deli pack with meats and cheeses is amazing for lunch. Highly recommend.

Perfect rolls and bacon served with excellent coffee. So good we went back later for a mid-morning tea and cake. Lovely little shopping area too, bought several items. The staff were very nice.

Great little shop with a good selection of cheese, pate etc. You can also sit in (or out) for a coffee and cake. Definitely worth a visit

Bought a deli box for 4 people. Very helpful member of staff. Really lovely deli box. Would recommend.

Gorgeous coffee and best bacon roll. Added a plate of cheese from the fantastic deli. A must stop in Lquder

Great lunch. Sandwiches really tasty and great coffee. Lots of cooking goods and spices. Homemade fresh bread and local cheeses. Well worth visiting.

Lovely place with lots of goodies on sale, well worth a visit, Coffee is very well made and the best bacon roll ever Mind bring a bag as you will not leave empty handed

We googled 'Good coffee near us' and it brought up The Spotty Dog on our journey up to Aberdeen. It didn't disappoint. The coffee was so good and the brownie we had was wonderful too. A great selection of products to buy in the shop. I wish we lived nearer and could go regularly.

The best hot chocolate I have ever had with a lovely fresh tuna and tomato roll - very nice. My husband had ham with chilli jam which was good. If I hadn’t been with my husband I would’ve spent a fortune

We stopped again at this excellent deli on our way from England to the Highlands as we remembered the delicious baps from last year when we were travelling. Great choice of all sorts of special food stuffs in the shop and baps made to order. Very pleasant, remembered us from last year. Very useful as a toilet stop too! We will be back! Thanks.

Lovely delicatessen selling lots of good cheese meats and many other great food stuffs. They were doing coffee and sandwiches too but we didn’t get around to trying those. Next time for sure .

Great takeaway, delicious filled sandwiches, good quality coffee and friendly service. Parked up within Lauder town centre to enjoy our lunch.

Scrumptious sandwiches, tasty coffee and crispy chocolate and hazelnut croissants - lovely! Well worth a visit.

Fabulous little deli in Lauder. Very friendly team, lovely selection of deli goods - they always seem to have that one ingredient I've been searching for. The cheeses and wines are absolute heaven.

Who would have thought it? Such a delicatessen tucked away half way down the A68! Great slections,, lovely smells and very helpful staff.

Called in for coffee and lunch. Very nice, really good coffee. Also bought some products from the deli including tasty scotch eggs.

Just popped in for a look and came out with 2 pulled pork scotch eggs. Had to go back a few days later and get some more. Delicious!

They serve excellent coffee. I also had a very delicious cheese scone. The service was cheerful and friendly. It is also a deli with a good selection of food. They do take away and we had excellent freshly made cheese and pickle sandwiches. Thank you

Just passing through and intended to have a takeaway sandwich but entering cafe was surprised to see it was a lovely sit in place. Lots of delicatessen type foods and drinks for purchase. We had a bacon sandwich which was delicious and a ham sandwich also delicious. What a super wee place. Definitely one to visit for sure !!!

Called in mid afternoon and had a toasted sandwich. Food very good and staff helpfull. Would recommend.

Really good coffee, excellent blend and generous amount goes into making your brew. Cakes are delicious too and often they have a gluten free choice. Because there are very few tables you pay a bit more to sit down, otherwise you take it away and it's very good anyway. Good selection of cheeses and wines. What more do you want?

I have meant to write a review of this lovely little establishment since I visited in July 2017. I was cycling from Lands End to John o'Groats and in need of sustenance. I was really impressed by the wide range of food that they had (much home made) and the lovely staff. When they learnt that I was cycling LEJOG for charity they offered me the food for free - bringing a smile to my slightly weary face. I've not managed to go back since but am determined to return again!

Popped in with my 92 yr old father in law and my husband. Gorgeous fresh coffee, but the cakes are to die for ! The Almond/Plum was terrific, but the Chocolate orange cake (still warm) was divine !!! Dads Tomato/Basil soup was perfect he said. I met the lovely lady who owns with hubby and does the baking and complimented her on her baking skills. What a lovely wee place. Bought cheeses too, such a array of mouth watering types.

The Spotty Dog is well worth a visit if you are passing through Lauder. They have a wonderful array of local and artisan food and beverages including bacon jam. Their bacon roles are really delicious as well as their meringues; however, my favourite of all of their gorgeous Scotch Eggs, their is a wide variety to choose from and they are so tasty.Definitely worth a visit!

A country holiday can be defined by local food and coffee options. The Spotty Dog was amazing! We went on the first day of our holidays and ended up going back every day. The coffee was amazing (the large flat white was perfectly done every single time and there was a top quality decaf option!). Croissants - perfection! In addition the Spotty Dog sells an impressive range of gourmet and speciality foods - the vegetarian scotch eggs are to die for :)

Two of us had lunch here today. Warm and welcoming inside as blustery snow fell outside. It's a quality deli plus tiny café. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere with a few tables alongside the produce on sale. Spicy first rate lentil soup especially memorable, along with delicious ginger cake. Plus decent quality coffee, served hot (not at 60C!). Recommended.

We had a fabulous bacon roll and tea here on Saturday! Lovely clean, tidy and cosy wee place. Fantastic home baking too. Loved it so much we went back for it opening the next morning to have breakfast!!! Great staff and fabulous service, would thoroughly recommend a stop here, whether for sit in or takeaway.

A great little community delicatessen selling super local and specialist produce that's not so easy to get hold of elsewhere, especially in Lauder! Good coffee and yummy pastries served at a high counter in the window too if you have time for a quick bite. Friendly service - keep up the good work!

Nice wee place to get something different to take home to eat. Lots of nice nibbles and choice for you to browse. Small sit in area, good for takeaway lunches and more.

This shop has a vast variety of specialty food items such as sauces/crackers, etc as well as an extensive selection of cheeses. We did not eat but they also have a wide variety of items they prepare to eat there or take away.

Excellent deli that also serves the most delicious coffee.Good selection of cheeses,oils,pastas etc The bacon rolls are to die for......

Lovely little deli/cafe with beautiful wares. Bacon butties are lovely and the coffee is the real deal. The cakes are to die for and the owner is a lovely fella. Go there.

Great little deli with exquisite selection of jams, oils, pastas and sauces. Don't miss it when down there!

Brilliant little deli that does the best coffee and excellent sandwiches/bacon rolls. Great friendly service and a bit of an institution in Lauder. Visit as often as you can!

Friendly efficient staff with excellent baking and high quality ingredients for sale catering for all dietary requirements !

Stopped by for takeout coffee on Tour de Lauder Saturday! Always try to stop by for a quick drink on our weekends in Lauder - it's an institution!

Friendly,efficient service in this little Deli which has a great range of products. On top of that, they sell the most tasty bacon rolls, filled rolls and cakes and the coffee is fantastic.

Excellent deli/ cafe fresh local produce great quality food to sit in or take away. Definitely worth a visit in LAUDER

Excellent coffee and cake in this deli and good stock of cheese to take away. Unfortunately a bit small for the demand and can be difficult to get a seat on occasions but well worth a visit for the coffee quality.

Superb gem of a specialist shop opposite the town hall. Family run, great rolls, which can be freshly made to your choice, excellent teas and coffees, however the in-house home made baking is divine. Also a deli with speciality food baskets and delivery service. Conveniently open 7 days, a joy to visit.

Stopped here recently on way to Selkirk for a quick snack,very enjoyable tea and filled roll,absolutely delicious,very clean and tidy and staff/ owner very friendly,very well stocked shop,will certainly make a point of returning in the future. keep up the good work.

The Spotty Dog is my cafe of choice in Lauder because of the quality of coffee and cakes. They also offer a very good choice of deli items and do a good lunch takeaway service. Can't really fault it at all.

Best coffee shop in the Boarders in my opinion. Visited friends over the weekend, who moved up from Yorkshire many years ago. We always make sure we have a wander in on a Sunday before the drive home. There is always a little treat on the shelves that I want to take home, and this visit was no exception. Great choice including cheeses and other local and homemade produce. They do great coffee too for takeout or drink in and soak up the atmosphere. A little gem of a place.

Great coffee shop and specialist delicatessen with superior, extensive stock. Super service by nice people.

This is an absolute gem in the Scottish Borders - a great advert for local produce and a wide range of high quality products

Popped into here whilst staying at the Black Bull Hotel. Came in partly for a much needed cuppa but was also intrigued by the paintings etc;

Stopped off here for a quick lunch. The Spotty Dog has limited space but had a very good coffee and delicious piece of cake. Will definitely be going back for coffee again and very impressed by their selection of cheeses so also likely to be buying from the deli. Overall conclusion - small but perfectly formed!

Had the best coffee ever and great service since I've been in Scotland thank you Spotty Dog Really enjoyed my latte I hope to return soon

We had a nice lunch at the Spotty dog, rolls with ham/salad/light mayonnaise and a selection of olives and cheese. Delicious food, nicely presented on a wooden plate. Nice atmosphere in the shop.

Had a quick coffee, delicious. Tasted some great cheeses, lots of interesting foodie items. Vert friendly and welcoming.

We were looking for a place for coffee on the way north up the A68 and were disappointed by the indifferent reception at an earlier stop in St Boswells so moved on, saw the "Coffee and Home Baking" sign outside The Spotty Dog and stopped. There were two table indoors and one outside.
