Truly Scrumptious in Dumfries & Galloway

Truly lovely place to eat . Great menu for perfect Scottish cuisine and great personal service . On our first visit it was a choice of coffee and delicious cakes . On our return visit for breakfast muckle toon breakfast was the best .

This was the first and the last time that I will set foot inside this establishment. The owner needs to change of the name of the place as it certainly isn't truly scrumptious, the place is a disgraced & the lady that served us kept making apologies for the state of the place. The place is cluttered with items behind the counter and in the centre of the store that shouldn't be there and as far as government guideline are concerned there wasn't any. Its so outdated and it doesn't have toilet facilities for customers. Definitely won't be going back again

Staff are very welcoming and always have time for a chat. coffee and cake are always of high standard.

As a biker, I often find that I am frowned upon in some establishments, far from the truth here, welcomed in by the young lady behind the counter made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much, pleasant and clean and good value

The worker was very rude to me,never smile once and gave off a bad vibe.Too expensive for the quality of food and didn’t have a spread of choices.

I had lunch in Scrumptious. The staff were attentive and service was quite quick, although it wasn’t busy. The food was fine and I quite enjoyed it. The decor is a little off putting - very cluttered and a bit dusty. There is no public toilet, only a staff loo which I used and it was in a poor condition. I wouldn’t rush back.

Very basic (no customer WC). Decor is like stepping back into the 1950's - and not in a good way. Generally disinterested staff. Only stopped for coffee/cake but the tray bake was slightly stale. Only plus was that it was relatively cheap but I will not be returning.

Sign over the door says ‘Truly Scrumptious, Vintage Delicatessen’, this is none of those things, the food is average at best, and although a limited menu often indicates good food this one doesn’t, there is nothing on the menu that is in any way, special. The inside is small, dirty and uncared for with fly blown windows, weed filled hanging baskets, food splashes and layers of dust. However, our table was freshly wiped and crockery and cutlery looked clean. The decor creates a shabby (not, chic) ambiance helped only slightly by the ‘vintage, 50,s’ music. All in all, a real shame as with some hard work, ‘elbow grease’ a bit of style, both to the decor and menu, the location could make this a real winner.

Stopped off for some food after a walk and had a delicious bowl of soup (broccoli and stilton)!

After a refreshing walk in the rain we headed here for a we bite to eat, we ordered the stilton and broccoli soup and a chicken tikka wrap both of which were delicious, we found the staff to be friendly and helpful and had a good chinwag before we left, would highly recommend.

Fabulous stopping place when travelling through the borders. A very warm traditional tea rooms with fantastic staff

Cafe family run affair. Friendly and welcoming. Nice cafe food and coffee/teas. Home baking was amazing. Recommend.

I live locally and unfortunately haven't used this cafe in quite a while because of the "don't sit there" policy. My friend and I visited today - give the place a second chance and all that - only to be told we would have to move from the window seat if a party of 4 came in. This wasn't the only table to seat 4 but what annoyed me was that there was only one other customer in there and over 15 seats available. It's a shame because the sandwiches etc are good but I certainly won't frequent this place again.

My friend and I went into here this morning. We thought it would be nice to sit at the table overlooking the garden. The waitress then came over and said we could not sit at this table it was for 4 people. Given that there was only one other person in there at the time we could not see what the problem was. This café has totally the wrong attitude to customers. They should be looking after their local customers. We are the ones who are here all winter. I will not be going in here again. The shame about it is the food is quite good.

Have to say that it was one of the nicest ham rolls. Served with a few cornchips and fresh salad on the side and nice pot of tea. Good coffee too. Parking not too bad. Homemade cakes and slices looked yummy too. Seats in cafe or outside in garden.

Used to be good, but recent visit very limited deli options. We had our dogs with us and had been turned away by the Eskdale Hotel, and knew from previous visits to Langholm we couldn't take them inside, so tried to buy some takeaway items as we were starving. Soup had run out, no ham or bread in the deli to make a sandwich so we drove to Hawick. Had come all the way from Gretna.

We stopped for coffee (flat whites) and cake. The cake was fine but the coffee was awful even though there was an impressive-looking expresso machine. We assume that the person who made the coffee did not know how to use it or make flat whites. The café is probably best avoided if you are a coffee drinker.

Chunky sandwiches with salad. Good home made soup. Friendly staff. Premises not warm. Seemed a bit pricy.

Yo estaba de visita con la familia cuando Langholm encontré este maravilloso salón de poco. Las mujeres corriendo el lugar donde fantástico hacían lo imposible para asegurarse de que teníamos una visita fantástica y eran tan cómodos como se puede ser. La comida es de otro mundo es increíble volveré aquí. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

A sweet little place tucked away on the corner. It serves amazing coffee, excellent sandwiches and snacks and also has a little shop area with trinkets and ingredients. The service is fast and friendly and they offer a takeaway service too.

Por amor de Dios! La mujer de mal humor que parecía estar a cargo. . Estamos pagando los clientes. No inconvenientes! ¿Por qué estamos corriendo una tienda de té si obviamente odio su trabajo? Nos dijeron no para sentarse afuera en el jardín, aunque era un día precioso, y los baños estaban "bloqueado". . . Indignado con la actitud., a la izquierda sin pedir.

We called today looking for a dog friendly cafe for a cuppa and a slice of cake. Didn't even make it through the door, a rude lady glared at us and when we asked if the dogs were allowed in (bearing in mind there was a dog already in there) she snapped back at us yes but I already have one in here, the way we were spoken to was utterly disgusting. Truly Grumptious!!!

Stopped for coffee and sit out of the cold. Small selection of cake, tea and coffee. One soup on offer. Also various boxed goodies.

Stumbled upon this little gem last week when visiting Langholm and needing some lunch. Tasty baguettes (still warm from the oven), paninis and sandwiches as well as a good selection of cakes. Was also delighted to be offered decaffeinated coffee AND tea - a rare...

The menu was not very inviting and very expensive. The service was ok but housework ongoing while we ate. Cleaning windows we were looking out of. I would not return to this cafe.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a Langholm. Encontramos este restaurante al lado del hotel en el que estuvimos. Quizás bastante pequeño - sólo 8 mesas. El ambiente era buena, el personal era agradable y la comida muy buena. El servicio era tranquilo - que nos gustó a mi mujer y yo, pero no puede satisfacer a todos. La comida estaba recién hecho y bien presentado. No sé qué es en esta visita hermosas, pero cuando vuelva, vuelva a este lugar.

I han never used truly scrumptious before. On entering one lady is what you would imagine a Victoria governess would be. She has a cant be bothered attitude. Place is clean coffee ok and scone was actually good. However with Mrs attitude I would rather use Pelosi across the road or Whitshils just as you leave Langholm heading north. As both are friendly and serve better food. Give Truly Rubbish a miss.

Stopped in for a light lunch, homemade tomato & basil soup with bread & butter, then pot of tea for two served in China cups, proper tea with a strainer and smoked salmon and cream cheese on fresh brown bread with a good salad garnish. We both enjoyed immensely. What a pleasure to have something prepared by somebody that cares.The ladies that run the cafe were helpful and chatty, perhaps the person that complained didn't take the trouble to speak pleasantly to them.

Called in for a brief breakfast stop and enjoyed decent hot coffees and a couple of tasty cheese scones. Pleasant surroundings on a quiet morning, after a leg stretch around the characteristic atmosphere of this village.

This cafe is central and had some nice food.The coffee was okay.The staff were helpful.No toilet for customers.

called in here for a cuppa before going into our hotel staff very busy making a new window display so they didn't seem very bothered tea was very nice served in china tea cups (tea leaves)

I visited Langholm last year and remember this place as being very busy and so I ignored the poor service and unfriendly staff. However I returned today thinking perhaps I had misjudged this place to be treated the same- I was told one table is always kept spare so couldn't use it unless there were four of us ( there were two) . The woman behind the counter made no effort to speak to me though I was clearly waiting to speak to somebody. Having been spoken to in the manner of a naughty child I decided I would forego a coffee there. I will never go back.

We were visiting Langholm and I decided to have a coffee while waiting for my husband. I am severely visually impaired and had asked if I could sit at the window table as I wished to look at one of the magazines. The smaller table which I was sitting at was in a very dark area of the restaurant and I was finding it difficult to see. I was told by the waitress that the table at the window was for four people and would be required if they got busy. There were three people in the restaurant and I was one of them? After informing the waitress of my disability she said I could sit at the window but would have to move if more people came in. I refused her begrrudged offer as I felt this was unacceptable and degrading especially because of my disability. I drank my coffee quickly so I could leave and I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This is a cosy cafe near the middle of town. All we had were coffees which were of a good standard. Tempting cake but none tried on this occasion. Friendly staff too.

Visited Langholm today with my sister and popped in for a coffee and scone as place looked nice from outside. The waitress directed us to a table for 2, as we had dared to sit at a table for 4 by the window!! I might add, the place was empty apart from one other table. We were then completely ignored until we approached her. We were handed menus and told her we knew what we wanted to order. She ignored us, said nothing, disappeared and started doing something else!!! We considered leaving at this point but she appeared again and took our order. Lovely scones I have to say. Before leaving I asked to use the toilet. With a very unfriendly glare a different woman told me, ''we only have a staff toilet but if you really need, it's through there." Unbelievably she then said,'' Is it only you, because it's got a very short flush.''!!! By now I was starting to laugh - I used the loo (with the short flush) and we made a hasty retreat! Needless to say we didn't leave a tip!!!Come on - it doesn't take much to smile and be friendly to your customers

This place is almost comically poor, old fashioned feeble food offerings with an unhealthy dose of grouch and misery - staff who deal with you as though you are an utter inconvenience. We left pretty quickly - avoid this place at all costs, this seems to be the message they want you to have. They are way better places to go in Langholm.

The waitresses behaved as though we were causing them a problem by wanting a window seat and a pot of tea. We were told we had to sit at a tiny table for two in the darker middle part of the shop. I was also told that if I bought the scones that I wanted there would be none left so the waitress would have to bake more. I said if they were for sale surely I could buy them.Basically we were made to feel like we were in the way.

Nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and welcoming , they do great sandwiches and an excellent coffee. A nicely set out place with lots of trinkets to look at, very quaint.

We stopped by for coffee and although we were the only people in we felt like we were really an inconvenience. The lady serving didn't greet us and barely spoke. The coffee was fine but we weren't offered a menu or anything to eat. The cakes and scones on display looked lovely but we really didn't want to be any more trouble so didn't bother ordering! Sorry but we won't be back.

Stopped off on a long trip north, and glad of the break, including good coffee, and scones. All very nice, though the staff on duty could have been a whole lot friendlier. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day.

The sign above the door suggests a Vintage Tea-Room, In reality, it's a few tables off the front shop which seems to be used mainly as a take-away for local workers and school kids. It wasn't immediately clear if we should order at the counter or sit at at a table. There were no menus or sandwich lists visible.We eventually got to a point where we were offered a menu and ordered some sandwiches and drinks. The food is definitely the redeeming quality of this cafe. Lovely fresh sandwiches, well filled and served with fresh side salads. We chose a scone and a slice of cake to follow which again were very tasty and fresh. The essence of a vintage tea room is there, but the plastic table cloths need to be replaced with cloth, the toilet has a very unwelcoming 'staff access only' sign next to it (We chose to use the public toilets across the Square rather than ask permission to use the Cafe's toilet) Some soft furnishing and a warmer room would all help to increase the comfort of visitors. Great stop off for food, and the cafe is fine. The promise of a Vintage Tearoom leaves you a little disappointed.

About 15 of us walkers called in for a cuppa and a bun after one of our regular walks, this time in the Langholm area. The cafe is situated right in the centre of Langholm and there is free parking nearby. On offer was a good selection of cakes, traybakes, scones etc. I was told I could have had my favourite bacon roll (this was when I was paying, having had something else to eat!)Staff were helpful and friendly and the cafe was clean and tidy. Service was good. Recommended.

The cafe looked nice from outside so we stopped for a sandwich and cuppa - our waiter was very friendly but unfortunately the lady who was doing the cooking must have been having a bad day as she barely acknowledged our presence: not so much as a smile of welcome. My partner had soup which he said was good, but his bacon sandwich arrived at the same time and was cold by the time he got round to eating it (our fault for not asking for it to be served after the soup). My pannini was ok but not what I ordered - might have been the English accent!

Went there for a coffee you walk in through the door and are greeted by friendly people who care for the customers, can't wait to go again.

We had the standard afternoon tea. Which comprised two sandwiches, tuna and Turkey, and two scones, one of which was cheese. In addition there were two decent sized slices of cake, one of lemon and the other coffee. The cafe was a pleasant and interesting room. However, whilst I enjoyed the occasion, I feel that there is much potential to improve and encourage more custom.

Smashing wee place with a great range of flavoured oils and vinegars as well as lovely home baking. Found both ladies very friendly and chatty. Sat afternoon was full of soggy bicyclists and the lady said I could use the loo but I'd need to wait till the cistern refilled. Maybe that's why the loo is not always available? It's vintage too. Great music playing too but not loud.

Had a perfect cafe lunch here. We found it welcoming & delicious - just what we needed on our long journey from north to south. Thank you!

My husband and I happened upon this place, by chance. Looked very cute from outside, but don't be fooled.The 2 ladies who run the place, have no customer, or people skills whatsoever. The atmosphere was chilly from the off. We felt most unwelcome, and as if we had spoilt their morning by wishing to be served, not as if they was busy. No one else in the place.Not a pleasant experience. We will not bother again. Which is sad as Iangholm looks as if it could use the custom, town as quite as the grave.

All our U3A walks end in a teashop so, down to lead a walk near Langholm this week, I dropped into The Truly Scrumptious Tearoom to ask if they could cope with an influx of 17 tired walkers. Lorraine could not have been more helpful and accommodating. She and her friendly colleagues coped well, and served us efficiently with excellent coffee and tea (loose leaf and served in china cups) and really delicious cakes. Everyone was delighted with experience. Highly recommended.

My friend and I visit Langholm every year and as part of that visit we make sure to stop for tea and cakes at Truly Scrumptios. We love this little tea shop as they serve tea as it should be served in China tea cups and lovely China tea pots. The cakes and sandwiches are delicious and they also sell a variety of other treats including bespoke olive oils which are amazing. The staff are all very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. As for the other reviews regarding the toilet this is all due to one very disrespectful diner who left the facilities in such a disgusting mess that the owners had no choice but to close the toilet to the public and rightly so!! I can't praise this quaint tea room highly enough and we look forward to returning next year. Philip and Katie x

We were on a very long journey to the borders and stopped for some lunch. The food was fine and the place cute but all I think about was being asked how desperately I needed the toilet when I asked if I could go ! Some poor very elderly lady was chased down the corridor and shouted at by the same lady being told off loudly in front of everyone for using the facility. Just turn the staff loo into a public one ! If someone had spoken to my gran or parent like that I would have gone mad .

I met a colleague in Langholm on Monday 01/09/2014, as it was a halfway stopping point for us. We decided on Truly Scrumptious to sit in and have a coffee. As he ordered the coffee's I went to find the toilet. I was advised that there was no customer toilet. When I asked what customers do I was told by this rather unfriendly waitress that there was a toilet across the road. (there' a public convenience at the town hall). Surely in the year 2014, a customer toilet is a small thing to ask and a necessity for any business catering for the public. I'll not be back!

We stopped here a long tine ago for soup and a sandwich but on calling in recently, it appears to have changed hands. Two very grumpy, miserable ladies now. The food is just passible, nothing to write home about and customers are not allowed to use the toilet, which I didn't think was allowed as sit in establishments have to provide for their clients. Not a place we will visit again.

I went into TS with some friends. We had hoped to have tea/coffee, cakes to round off a Langholm event together. The staff were just so grumpy and unfriendly that it made it seem as if we were doing them the favour of our business. The atmosphere was awful in what, in the past, had been a happy, welcoming establishment. It may have been an off-day for the two ladies, but reading the other reviews it seems sadly not. It was my idea to go to TS that day. I was very embarrassed at having suggested a cuppa and a bite to eat there to my friends. I certainly won't be taking anybody there again ...and I'll most likely not be back - which is very sad for a wee place like Langholm that has always had a reputation for friendliness.

I visited TS the other week and found that this vintage tea shop does not look like the picture!Has someone got a picture of this attractive shop please?Anyway, I love homemade food and this place sells loads of it and very tasty it is too.The ladies working here were tentative without being obtrusive.My experience here really was good and I can't wait to visit again, when I'm in the area.Just a point, I see that some patrons have knocked this place about the toilet - there's toilets across the road and I don't consider it at all inconvenient to use the council's facilities, rather than the staff loo! The food and drinks here really are good - don't take my word for it - try it and you will see and I don't think you'll be disappointed!

called here on a quiet lunchtime. we were met by a very miserable lady. we asked if we could use the washroom to which we were told it is only for staff.not very good for a café ..so did not order sandwiches.the soup was nice but our visit was spoilt by the very cold welcome we received. we would not visit here again.

We stumbled across this place and had High Tea. We were very impressed with the selection of teas and the service was very attentive. I would recommend the decaf tea, loose leaf and very tasty. I was particularly impressed as we had a cream tea at Edinburgh Castle at New Year and they don't stock decaf. Also, bearing in mind it was a Wednesday, we didn't get quiet mid-week service, if you know what I mean! We will return.

Stopped in by chance today. We had scones and tea and a luxury hot chocolate and a slab of toffee cake. A really nice tea room with proper China cups, teapot etc. Everything was lovely and there is plenty to look at/buy in the shop. The two ladies were lovely and chatty. We would definitely return when visiting Langholm.

Called in here earlier this week as we had been up to do some measuring of the house we are soon to rent. I had the Tomato and Basil soup and my husband had the ham and mustard sandwich. Both were really tasty and beautifully presented. We will definitely come here again.

We found the two ladies working here rather uninviting and although polite, they were so cold that it verged on being rude. Was very unnimpressed with the service. I ordered a sausage roll which, although it didn't bother me, was served stone cold and I wasn't even asked if I would prefer it hot or cold. I would imagine that if anything, they would be served hot though. On asking where their toilet was, I was told that there was a staff toilet which I could use if I desperately had to but they stopped the customers using it in general as it was being left in a mess!! Is this even legal to have a cafe with no toilet these days?? Not a very warm atmosphere or welcome at all I'm afraid and we will not be visiting again.

This quaint tearoom has a very 40s style. From the real China cups and saucers to the cake stands and menu.Just like a trip to Grandma's house, with the same care and attention to detail.

On a trip up to Langholm to get supplies for Burns' Supper we called in, initially just for a brew and cake, which was lovely. Then on browsing the deli ended up buying some of the delicious homemade produce, including some scrumptious haggis spring rolls! Will be visiting again.

quaint little tea shop with a superb deli selection, real china cups and saucers and tea leaves!! The deli is well stocked with a huge range of cheeses and specialist pickles and chutneys

We were travelling home to Belfast from a wet holiday on the coast, and stopped off for a cuppa in this tearoom.......what an absolute gem!Three of us, supposedly only wanting a hot drink......we ended up with a full cream tea (a real ladies joy), and my husband thought my face was so funny at being so delighted that he proceeded to video the whole experience. Bone china, tiered cake stands, tea strainers, tea garden, beautiful sarnies cut Downton Abbey style......what more could a woman of class want? Shouldnt have bothered with the rest of the holiday....this was my personal best memory

It looks very nice but we were surprised to find it closed on a Sunday.I know that owners need a day off,but there were a lot of visitors in Langholm yesterday.

On route home and wanted to end holiday with an afternoon tea - great choice of sandwiches; lovely fresh bread, choice of scones and cakes. Impressive choice of 4 interesting soups which nearly tempted us away from afternoon tea (available all day). Deli counter and stockist of preserves, chutneys, chocolates, sweets, oils, vinegars and tea and coffee and...go see for yourself. Staff will I'm sure make you very welcome and check you are pleased with your meal.

There was a great selection of home baked scones and cakes, good coffee and a friendly atmosphere. If you are passing through it is well worth a stop.

We stopped off here on our way north to Edinburgh (by chance) and found this great little place - had a great afternoon tea. Lots of choice of teas, well-filled sandwiches and truly scrumptious home-made cake! My (grown-up) son had a panini (we had missed lunch) which was very good too - lots of melted cheese. Excellent service, and a shop as well!
