They are famous for a range of border bakery products and their cheese scones are well worth a try. Only draw back is the high number of white van men hanging around at lunch timebut if that is your thinggo for it!

But we all have *those* days, don't we (and they're usually Thursdays). The type of day where you fall out of bed late, there's nothing in, and you dash out of the door unfed and unprepared. Kelly's bakery is my saviour for these kind of days. Not only do I pass it on my way to work - so no further delays - but I can also get a breakfast butty, a filled roll for my lunch, a sweet treat (for the extra Thursday-ish Thursdays) and still have change from a fiver! My personal favourite is the chicken mayo salad roll - filled to the brim, there's greenery in there so it's obviously healthy, freshly made and only £1.40. So if you're dashing past here, do take a minute to swing in and get yourself something to eat - I promise you that Thursdays* are easier to handle with a happy belly. *bakery also available on other days

The cakes usually sold include cherry, Madeira, sultana, banana, lemon, carrot, ginger, plus border tarts; there are mainly kinds of scones fruit, cheese, treacle and soda for example. For bread there's wholemeal, granary, white, 'Moffat Tasty' to name but a few! There's a large range of handmade biscuits and muffins as well, including shortbread and parkins. You can also buy milk and other drinks in the chilled cabinet. Located in the main street so easy to find should not be missed!

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.

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.

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.

Average size Tesco store, however they have an uncanny ability to be out of stock of what you are actually looking for. Customer 'service' in store is laughable. Staff at the customer service desk are abrasive, and frequently rude, the staff at the express checkouts appear to look down at you, and chide you at every opportunity. The staff throughout the store can be heard swearing and 'having a laugh' while they are stocking the shelves, which is very unprofessional. Finding a tin without a bash in it, or a packet of unbroken biscuits is also an interesting challenge. Finally, to top it all off, the toilets are a disgrace. Filthy, broken seats, and smell like a tramp's trousers. This store is an absolute disgrace. It's easy to see why Tesco is in so much trouble, they need to seriously invest in their staff and customer service values.

The store is bright, warm and nice to wander round.
