  Great cafe for a sunny day out on the bikes. Friendly efficient staff always looking to help. Cracking bacon rolls every time.

  This cafe has transformed the small town of Innerleithen.. Before this cafe opened its doors there were only the dreary hotels (the Traquair Arms being the most dreary) and an average cafe called Whistlestop.
  
  Now Innerleithen has a world class cafe. Everything about it is perfect: the location, the decor, the colours, the woodwork, the clientele. I could go on.
  
  One of the other reviewers said it has the best coffee in Scotland ("bar none") but I wouldn't know as I gave up coffee 10 years ago.
  
  But I can confirm that it has great tea and cakes but most of all, and more valuable than anything to drink, it has a great atmosphere: the people owning it are hardworking and friendly and their natural charm just spreads through the place in terms of the nice staff they hire, their good taste and attention to detail.
  
  It's a kind of community centre in that mountain bikers, as well as elderly people and kids, come and meet up here. I sometimes go in to read the papers, and New Scientist , and write stuff like this.
  
  Worth a detour.
