Mad Hatters - Scottish Borders

Passing through town and stumbled upon this charming place. Don’t miss it! Warm welcome from owner. Delicious home- baked sweets including the best scone I have ever eaten. Fun, whimsical decor. Several locals eating a full English breakfast that looked amazing.

Amazing afternoon tea. Gorgeous lemon meringue and fruit scones excellent value for money. Lovely quirky shop very pleasant staff and lovely looking cakes will definitely return again during my stay in Coldstream.

This charming and unique cafe is a delightful spot to grab a bite. The scones were freshly baked and still warm, with a perfect balance of flavors. I tried the date and walnut scone and it was so delicious on its own, no accompaniments needed. My friend opted for the fruit scone and also thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was warm and welcoming, making our experience even more enjoyable. It's no wonder this cafe is a popular choice among locals.

The food was excellent. The scrambled egg was the best I've had, and the portion sizes were generous. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We just happened to park outside The Mad Hatter's Tea Room and called in to ask about ice-creams. There was a choice of three ice-cream sundaes. We chose a vanilla and toffee and a mega chocolate. They were delicious. The whole experience was delightful as the place is full of Alice in Wonderland connected objects, posters, books etc. The owner was very friendly and happy to talk through the history and relevance. What an unexpected find. Worth a visit and the ice-cream sundaes were the bonus!
