The eggs especially, but also most everything else lacked quite a bit of flavor. I consider myself a bit of a breakfast connoisseur, but since I'm from the states, I might have a different palate than the Scots. Regardless, I think this is better for hot roll takeaways than sit down meals. They also don't accept credit cards, which was surprising and discouraging.

Not very appealing to look at as you can see from the attached photo, though it's a good family run…read morebasic place to grab a warm roll in the cold winter mornings along with a coffee/tea to take away with you or simply sit in and gaze out the floor to ceiling windows watching by passers struggle with their shopping bags, staff are friendly and welcoming very child friendly. Items reasonably priced. Nothing special really exactly what you'd expect from a "Cafe"

Beautiful local restaurant on a beautiful street. Our first food stop in our first trip to…read moreScotland. Service was fantastic. The food was good; some of it was bland for our taste. The haggis was delicious; the best from the entire holiday. Don't go if you're in a hurry. The service was a much slower pace than we are used to but we had nowhere else to go so we just enjoyed sitting there talking and taking it all in. Definitely recommend.

If you happen to be visiting Melrose Abbey then this little coffee shop sits just across the…read moresquare. It's a quirky little place with some interesting photos adorning the walls changing the feel from the usual twee little coffee shop that you would expect. What you do expect at a coffee shop though is good coffee and a fine selection of cakes and it is fair to say that it delivers pretty well in both respects. There was a choice of about 7 or 8 different types of cake, even a few minutes before closing time although unfortunately the kitchen had shut so there wasn't an opportunity to try a much needed bowl of soup.

I went there for my birthday when visiting Melrose! Very well-located coffee shop, (really close to…read moreMelrose Abbey) not to mention super picturesque, cosy and comfy! We (my family and I) had superb, mouth-watering paninis for lunch (highly recommended!) and a very tasty and smooth mushroom soup as well! Unforgettable experience in a very positive sense, I would DEFINITELY recommend this place!

I don't even know where to start... WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!…read more This Costa Coffee is the dehumanization of the coffee bean. I had a passion for this place until they removed the fajita! It was my favourite dish. They literally tore my heart out. Can you begin to imagine how long it took to get me out of hospital for this? The quality and even the hygiene is horrible here. The coffee bean has become belittled in our society because of this place. BECAUSE OF THIS PLACE!!! In my professional opinion, Costa Coffee has left a mark on the coffee industry, a horrible burn that will scar our generation for centuries. The only good feature they have introduced into this cruel world is the ham and cheese toasties, which I thoroughly enjoy every time I go there, which is frequently. In my time of life, I have had the pleasure of enjoying several wondrous coffee shops. This is not one of them.

No not another one!…read more This brand wants to bee seen on every street corner and dominate the world, Open 24 hours with a cafe in store that opens later in the day, gone where the days where you came here for your weekly shop, now you can walk out with a ipad or 42inch tv and clothing. Plenty of self service counters & notice boards at the entrance but does not contain anything useful information.

I went here a couple of nights ago to go and get some messages with Suzy. The staff are polite and…read morethe place isn't to busy. The fruit and veg is acceptionally cheap as well provided you go for the cheaper deals. The milk isn't too expensive either. It is rather difficult to find your way round here but once you get in you eventually find yourself.

Delicious. They also sell soda; I believe I bought my Tizer from here. Would definitely return if I ever came back to Melrose (I wish). Do watch out if you they offer to put your items in a bag as they'll charge you extra for it.
