Looked forward to a return to this lovely shop after being away for a few years to sample the incredible Orkney ice cream only to find that they no longer offer this and just offer a very mediocre ice cream instead. Very disappointing. Bring back the Scottish ice cream. Also return the seats so you could enjoy a coffee indoors during the winter months.

Simply Delicious has a wonderful selection of Ice Cream, Chocolates, Sweets, cakes and Hot and Cold drinks. The presentation of the shop is absolutely beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. The coffee was very nice and the Millionaires Shortbread is the best I've ever had. The lady serving in the shop was friendly and professional.

Nice ice cream and fair but not cheap prices, especially so the chocolates, which looked better than they tasted to our pallet. It’s open long hours and the staff do a good job.

I love the coffee, my son adores the ice-cream.

Fantastic little shop just up the road from the Melrose bus station. They have the best ice-cream in town with other goodies from tablet to millionaire's shortbread and an assortment of boiled sweets and fancy confectionery. You can sit-in at the window, or if it's a nice day, sit outside with a great view of the Abbey. On colder days you might fancy a coffee or a hot chocolate.There is one step leading into the shop and it is too small to accommodate most wheelchairs or pushchairs. The staff are wonderful and so friendly, they may be able to take wheelchair users orders and pass them out, but you would definitely need to check with them first.Parking is always a bit difficult in Melrose as it's a very popular and busy place, but it's definitely worth the effort for the twelve different flavours from original to pistachio! Weekends and holidays are exceptionally busy times, especially in the warmer weather. Sometimes there is a line out the door!I highly recommend the Highland Toffee (and the hot chocolate). Enjoy!

Great ice cream. Stopped in x3 days in a row on a surprisingly sunny break - raspberry ripple, buneno, and strawberry flavours were sampled and all were excellent.
Thank you so much for using a clean scoop and a fresh batch of icecream to ensure that it was gluten-free! This is appreciated. The icecream was superb too!

Fantastic ice cream, touch on the expensive side but totally worth it

Heart of Scotland tour stops in Melrose for lunch and I saw this place after my meal. It's what an ice cream shop should be, quaint, fresh, with great service. I had the most amazing coconut mango ice cream in a cone with chocolate glazing. Can't miss here.

Outstanding fresh ice cream, hot and cold drinks and a friendly staff. You can't go wrong here. Had a mango coconut cone, best ice cream I ever had.
