The Olive Tree is now our go-to place after hill walking by Newcastleton; both for coffee or a meal.The menu isn't too busy but provides a great choice, this includes whatever is on the chalk board as a daily special.For us, the food has been without exception, of fantastic quality - well prepared and cooked and I'm fairly certain made with locally sourced ingredients where possible.Staff are lovely, very helpful and it is actually a very nice place to sit and eat -nice layout and decor.I think the steady stream of locals coming into eat/ have coffee is a good indicator too. The staff know their regulars (I established this through careful eavesdropping) but in no way does it feel like a community centre!I can recommend this eatery very easily.

Great place with very friendly staff. Food all fresh and tasty. Breakfast items all lovely and obviously not sourced from a wholesaler. Home baking and coffee great as well.
Max Eaves
Fantastic cafe. Wonderful staff and great food. Locals and people passing though all well catered too. Well known biking haunt too.
Geoff Nevin
Excellent. Full menu. Great breakfast. Very friendly. Well worth a visit. Visited again. Still excellent.
Ron Kemp
A pleasant stop for food in the village- as you would expect, there is always a typical Borders welcome from the staff and a relaxing atmosphere .
Jane Langley
Excellent food, service and friendly staff.
Darren Webster
Called for a brew while passing through on the bike, only had a quick brew, however other food/cakes looked lovely, and would certainly call again ?
Hamish Waugh
Passing through and in need of a bite of lunch we stopped off for a very tasty meal. Higher recommended and would use more often if we were closer by.

We popped in for a lunchtime snack. The service and food we received were great. The prices were very reasonable. We ended up buying cakes to take away too. Wonderful cafe. Thank you.
Attractive venue with very friendly staff. Good choice of different items on the lunch menu, all keenly priced. Particularly pleased with the gluten free selection, especially the cake. Definitely recommend
Lewis McCulloch
Great service, lovely food, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to spend an afternoon in.
Jarred Woolis
Fantastic food, great prices but most of all the staff are incredibly friendly and were brilliant with our young kids. If we didn't live so far away, we would be getting breakfast at the Olive Tree every

After a long drive, this was a great find for our lunch. They had a varied gluten free menu and I had the all day breakfast which was a generous portion. I also took a large slice of tasty GF chocolate cake away to have with my afternoon coffee.
