Thomas and Ethel in Scottish Borders

What an amazing cafe plenty of gluten free options to choose from all very tasty mocha coffee and they post out gluten free item in the post whoop whoop what a find

Visited with some vegan friends having read good reviews and been recommended to try. It was a bit disappointing to find no cakes available that were vegan, they didn't have any nachos for the nacho dishes on the menu and ran out of plant milk. I had a weak cappuccino, and vegetarian chilli and rice which was tasty. The staff were really friendly but rather half hearted we felt about putting any effort into making food for folk who don't want to eat animal products. The veggie food was nice but not enough to warrant a trip to go and eat there when lots of other places do similar veggie dishes. Underwhelmed. I think it's perfectly possible to make tasty food and cakes that can be enjoyed by everyone. They don't need to overtly labelled as vegan if cafes are worried about putting people off in case they don't taste of much! It just takes a wee bit of imagination really.

Yes this is a little off the beaten track but well worth a slight detourFriendly warm welcome, all the food is gluten free and some is dairy free as wellGreat choice of food. Good value.Recommended

Oh, the joy of walking into a cafe and not having to totally explain about being gluten-free! We came here for lunch on our way home from a lovely weekend break to the Borders. My husband (who is non-GF) thoroughly enjoyed his lunch here,as did I. He had soup and I had the macaroni cheese,we then had cakes to take-away. Lovely service.great menu and whenever we are in the Borders again,a stop here will be a definite. The lady who served us has a great knowledge and you can ask her anything. Thoroughly recommend this cafe to Coeliacs and Non-Coeliacs alike.They also do some dairy-free items as well.

We've been to this establishment a few times now over the last year. It's always a very enjoyable, friendly experience. Lots to love whether your celiac or not. A great selection of gluten free food, or if you're like me, can enjoy a wheaten roll! On this visit I had a lovely bacon roll, my wife having a gf cherry scone. Both washed down with nice lattes. Can highly recommend and they even operate a rewards programme. One of the best gf cafes I know of in the Borders

Excellent service and food. Polite and friendly staff. Interested in their customers, felt at ease. Place was recommended to me thus I will recommend to family and friends, as a place to stop at on way south or north.

Superb, superb. 99.9% of everything sold here is Gluten Free. If you have an intolerance to certain food types this is the place for you. Great selection of cakes all Gluten Free and also mostly dairy free too. Most importantly they taste great!

Visitamos este café por segunda vez en los últimos meses después de un agradable paseo. Mi esposa le guste especialmente, ya que predominantemente este café está dirigido a las personas que tienen celiaquía. No se preocupe si usted no, como comida regular está disponible! Yo tenía un tocino y huevos en un rollo wheaten que era estupendo, mi esposa con paté ensalada. También tuvimos lattes encantador. Bill era poco más de £11. El servicio es siempre bueno, bien mantenido dentro y fuera hay asientos limitados en un día agradable. También ofrecen una buena conexión wifi y una tarjeta de fidelización. También he recibido recientemente un premio para su torta de llovizna de limón que es obviamente la pena probar!

Pop in regularly. Lovely cafe, wit really nice cakes. Not had a meal or snack there ye though, but will be in the future. Really friendly owners.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a este café/restaurante y había hecho una visita especial a este pequeño tesoro después de un paseo local haciendo un. La mitad de nuestro grupo celiacos, así que esperamos que este menú y no nos decepcionó. Más del 99% de su menú sin gluten, y la calidad y el servicio es fantástico. Llegamos a la hora del almuerzo y algunos de nosotros teníamos stovies, tuve un rollo de tocino, lattes que eran excelentes. Café fácil de encontrar ya que está situado en el medio de la calle principal. Estará dispuesto a regresar o recomendar

Stopped in earlston by accident and discovered Thomas and Ethel. We were the first customers in that morning and the staff were so welcoming. We came away with so many tips on where to visit. Only tried the coffee and blueberry scones and would definitely eat there again

Allergen free/aware tearoom but not at all preachy - if you want a bacon roll on regular and not glutenfree then that's not a problem. Just make wonderful food for people who have intolerances plus great food for everyone. Very friendly people.

What an absolute joy to come across a Gluten free Cafe/ bakery .. I would highly recommend a visit to this little cafe in Earlston. They are extremely friendly and very accommodating.

Had heard about this little cafe/restaurant and went for lunch a couple of weeks ago with a friend. We were not disappointed. I am vegetarian and have to avoid wheat, while she can eat just about anything and I was a wee bit worried she might find it restrictive. No need to worry at all. Wide variety of light lunch options available, a number of which were vegetarian, and all of them gluten free. Only disappointment was that someone had been in during the morning and bought all the quiche, but food was freshly prepared, tasty and very nicely presented. There was also a wide variety of home made cakes and traybakes and it was great to have a real choice, rather than the single gluten free option that is often the case - usually a mass produced brownie or macaroon. Coffee was as good as I've had anywhere and when the bill arrived it was very modest.

Finally a cafe that sells totally gluten free and they also do soya milk for anyone with dairy intolerances

Very good selection of cakes for anybody with food allergies!! Very friendly staff😊 great atmosphere👌🏽 highly recommend!
