Well today was my first visit here as in the area on holiday. Mum brought me here as she's been before and I instantly fell in love with the place.The decor was fab. Quirky and really homely.The food! Was outstanding! So fresh and full of flavour. I had the bagel with houmous and tomatoes! It was just lush ?.I will most definitely be back again. Visit melrose regularly throughout the year but Hawick isn't too far away to drive to.Thank you for the lovely food, service and atmosphere.

Popped in for a light lunch and a coffee whilst in Hawick. Delightful, wee cafe, with friendly staff, quick service, and a quirky atmosphere, as you eat surrounded by the secondhand books the cafe also sells. I had a brie and grilled peppers bagel, which comes with a good helping of fresh salad, and an americano coffee, which came to £9.60, which seemed reasonable for what was on offer. I will, most likely, be back.

The only dog friendly cafe we could find in Hawick; also the bagels were delicious and the quirky interior gave a great atmosphere.

We loved this café in a hidden-away street. The walls are covered in carpets and books. The filled bagels came with salad and were delicious. The highlight was chocolate guinness cake!

Although this is a relatively small establishment, we were able to arrange tables for a family of ten. The staff were helpful, the food was good and the place had a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Found this delightful tucked away cafe by chance, so glad we did. Lovely food, great staff and dog friendly, bonus!
A brief visit to Hawick found me returning to ‘ the Drum ‘ for lunch. I enjoyed an excellent bowl of sweet potato soup served in pleasant surroundings with a good vibe. I’ll be back!

Welcoming, independent and unique cafe, up a hidden backwater, serving a selection of Middle Eastern style foods/meze and filled bagels, soups, etc with a great range of fresh homemade baking. We shared a colourful meze platter with a creamy baba ganoush, hummus, roasted peppers, feta and Kalamata olives, roasted tomatoes, pastrami, dolmades and freshly toasted pittas. Full of books you are encouraged to browse while eating or drinking. Beautiful kilims also for sale. The most quirky and intriguing place to eat in Hawick. The Turkish coffee is divine!
