Great friendly place and the best bacon barm and tatties ever.
My husband and I stopped off in Langholm on 4th July. We were on our way home after being on holiday in Gattonside, Melrose. It was around 1pm and it was raining very hard, in my haste to get my waterproof out of the boot of my car I manage to trap my index finger in my right hand when closing the hatchback!! We dashed into the corner cafe to ask if there was a local pharmacy, there was actually one next door, but it was closed for lunch. The lovely staff of the cafe and a gentleman who was a customer could see that I was in pain and bleeding, immediately came to my rescue. They sat me down gave me hot sweet tea and 2 paracetamol. After about half an hour I was beginning to feel a lot better. So much so that Clive and I decided to have some lunch. We both had egg & bacon rolls and mugs of tea. The rolls were delicious and were much needed after my accident. The cafe staff were so very kind and friendly. One of the ladies even phoned the Health Centre which happened to be across the street, but the Health centre wouldn’t see me and told us to drive 20 miles to Carlisle & go to A&E!! After we finished our food the pharmacy was now open, so we went and purchased some dressings, the staff in the pharmacy were lovely and helpful too. They even dressed my poorly finger for me!
Wonder little cafe, tucked away slightly in the main square. Great, reasonably priced food, small but tasty menu. Perfect after a long day's walk.
Lovely cafe. Friendly staff. Simple food and delicious. A proper Scottish cafe. Square sausage and tattie scones. Very reasonably priced.
Stopped at the cafe as travelling south on A7. Received a pleasant welcome and although menu options were limited the quality of food was good. The cafe wasn’t overly busy and seemed to be a location for town regulars. I can recommend the soup and roll combo (Potato & Leek) and a chip butty. Price was very affordable as well.
Brilliant wee cafe, 5 of us stopped in, soaked from being on motorbikes. Really friendly and welcoming, lovely soup and would definitely go back. Thankyou
A very nice tea shop in Langholm (a small town in Scotland). Perfectly placed for starting walks, I have been there twice now and both times I have been on brilliant walks. Especially this time no need to rub your eyes, but it was very hot in Scotland weird I know. The river is the river Esk. The carvings are 1) An Eagle, 2) a fairy and an owl.
Friendly service, excellent food, large portions and very good value for money. Huge plate of ham, eggs and chips for £7. Lovely lentil soup on a rainy day! We always stop off here when passing through as it's such a great place.
