Totally superb and very highly recommended!! Don't trail round looking for nice cafes in Dumfries…read morebecause this is the best one! The 'Mission Statement' on the wall is, "Provide and serve healthy wholesome food in a warm and inviting atmosphere" and they do that in spades. It's a comfortable cafe with delightful decor and colours - everything is clean including the brightly patterned tablecloths; the food is excellent and very good value (better than any we've found in Dumfries and we've tried out several places over the last few years). There's a great breakfast menu, snacks of many kinds, soup and fresh bread, sandwiches, toasties, panini, rolls, baguettes, vegetarian choices and so much more. I had a baked potato and I was surprised and delighted that it was a good size and heaped with cheese and coleslaw (so often these days you get a small potato with hardly any filling!) It also arrived with an eye-catching fresh salad which included slices of orange and tortilla chips - not bad at all these days for only £5.25! My husband had a scrambled egg roll which he said was lovely - fresh and delicious and only £2.25 (where else would you find that?) There is a huge choice of drinks both hot and cold; good teas and coffees, hot chocolate and more. The owner is very pleasant and helpful as was the lady who brought our meals to the table. We'll definitely go straight there the next time we're in Dumfries!

The menu was fantastic and reasonably priced - lots to choose from and it was really good to see that a lot of thought had gone in to offering something other than the typical sandwiches etc you usually find on a menu. Good for vegetarians too with lots to choose from from their point of view too. They serve alcohol as well as hot and cold soft drinks and they do waitress service. There are different art works by local artists displayed in the place so it was nice to look at them too while having our meal. I think you can buy them too. The bill came to £30 for three people. We had a main course each and soft drink plus tea/coffee so very reasonable considering what you got. We sat for a couple of hours chatting and eating and the atmosphere was great. We didn't feel rushed even though it was a Saturday afternoon. I will definitely be going back here.

As Coffee and Tea go John Watt & Son is the roast!…read more From childhood I thought the smell of roasting coffee being pumped into the street was a sign that coffee was not to be messed with. Since I have become a trifle addicted to a good blend my attitude has changed dramatically. I now know the plumes of rich roast that fragrance the streets of Carlisle are a smoke signal to coffee lovers. The service weather 9 o'clock in the morning, or 20 minutes before your train leaves is to be challenged by none. I have been several times since the start of the year and every time I've been seated and served a cafetiere, mains and starters with no fuss. The shop is steeped in local history about Carrs and the tins that were produced and uses this to create a very traditional environment with a twist. It seems without trying they have created a very cosmopolitan and trendy feel to good coffee. Not to be compared to any chains Watts' is a tradition that has weathered and will not be going anywhere near instant mass produced shops. The coffee is well treated and doesn't carry any of the flavours of the day befores grind.
