Description

Nestled in the Scottish Borders, this eatery offers a mix of traditional and contemporary dishes. While some guests express disappointment at the absence of a classic Scottish breakfast, others praise the quality of their full English breakfast and hearty favorites like the all-day breakfast and macaroni cheese. The café stands out for its consistently good ingredients, especially the sausages and chips. Service is generally friendly, though some diners note a lack of assistance for the elderly. Cleanliness is a recurring theme, with patrons appreciating the inviting atmosphere and reasonable prices. A welcoming destination worth revisiting for a satisfying meal.

Despite being located in the Scottish Borders, it is disappointing that this restaurant does not offer a traditional Scottish breakfast. However, we did enjoy the full English breakfast that was served.

The food and coffee were amazing, but a bit expensive. The staff was rude and I doubt I will be coming back. Such a disappointment!

I had a delightful breakfast at this cafe. The portion size was perfect and definitely worth the price. The cafe was very clean and the staff were friendly.

I only ever go in for he same thing...sausage ,egg, chips n beans . Why Macari 's ? Because they succeed where so many cafe 's fail in my opinion. The meal I order is exactly the same every time, I know what I go in for and that 's what I get...every time. But also, the ingredients are good. The sausage is better than most cafe sausages which are often just bread and dripping in a weird skin...these are good..I look forward to them. The beans are always hot again, something so many cafes seem incapable of getting right and appear to be better than an awful lot of 'catering grade ' beans. Chips are crisp and plentiful and the egg never overcooked. The tables are clean and the cafe as a whole seems clean. Pot of tea could really do with being a bit bigger to be honest.
