Almond Tree - Scottish Borders

This cafe obviously attracts a large local clientele. However, my coffee was probably the worst I have had for over 20 years. My Americano with milk turned into a boiled milk extremely weak coffee. The slice we had was very good and the staff are pleasant.

I visited today after going for a run with my husband. The cafe was nice and clean, with lovely wipeable tablecloths. We chose large cappuccinos, and they were large, a really good size and we shared a fruit scone, which was lovely! Homemade, lots of fruit and really fresh. We could have had the scone of the day which, was orange, or one of a huge selection of chocolatey tray bakes. We shared the scone and without asking, we’re brought a second plate, so thoughtful. Hawick is quite a small town so it seemed that everyone else in the cafe knew each other, there was lots of happy banter. A real find!

Stumbled across this little cafe on a day trip to Hawick. We had Mac and cheese (the best I have ever tasted) some soup and a baked potato. Everything home made and couldn’t fault it at all. Staff are lovely and so welcoming. Bought some home made baked cakes too and can’t wait to try them later. The fact this is a charity just tops it all off- would recommend.

We had a lovely lunch in the Almond Tree today, came across it purely by chance on a visit to Hawick. The cafe had a super atmosphere, warm, welcoming and inclusive, and the service and food were both great. Love the ethos behind the cafe, great to see young people gaining skills and proving themselves to be highly employable. Those who manage The Almond Tree and those who volunteer there should all be proud of themselves, its a really inspiring place and project. And definitely check out the traybakes!

We found this cafe by chance and were delighted with the food and staff. The cafe was spotlessly clean, staff friendly, very efficient and polite and lovely food don’t miss out on trying the traybakes. Will definitely be back
