I was recommended to visit here by friends and I?m so glad I made the hour round trip to try the delicious cakes. Between 3 of us we each tried a different cake, each one better than the next!! The cakes are amazing and almost look too good to eat, the designs make an exciting experience as you don?t know what might be hidden in the chocolate! I also highly recommend trying a hot chocolate to wash everything down with. I tried the classic version and that was delicious but hope to work my way through the menu! Lots of parking facilities located to the rear of the store.

This iconic place is a compulsory stop for any visitor to Peebles. I had the passion fruit cheese cake, and it was probably the best cheese cake I?ve ever tasted. Perfect balance of textures, not too sweet, with a refreshingly slight tartness of perfect passion fruit. Delightful

After walking around Peebles we felt we needed a snack. We tried one cafe but it was cash only, which we didn't have, so moved on. We accidentally found this place. Gorgeous cake.... and the most amazing hot chocolate ever. A nice comfortable and airy cafe with the most devine cakes. Really worth a visit.

Exceptional cakes, spoils you for any other coffee and cake experience in Scotland. If only we live nearby.

Visited this establishment whilst staying in Peebles for a few days. Arrived at approx 12.30, only one other customer in the place (a warning sign ?). No one acknowledged us but eventually one of the two staff asked us what we would like. Ordered two cakes, a cappuccino and a double espresso. After a while a staff member called out to us to collect our order from the counter. I was surprised that ,at nearly £20 for a couple of cakes and two coffees, they could not bring it to our table. My partner said that her cake was delicious, but mine was disappointing. I chose a Black Forest gateaux slice (yes I know, very 70s !). The chocolate shavings on top were very good, the chocolate coating was too sugary and sticky. The cherry layer was excellent, sour with real cherries. The chocolate sponge however was poor, dense, heavy and tough. Either poorly made or very stale (made in the 70s for authenticity perhaps?) . The espresso coffee languishing in the bottom of a large cup was bitter and tasted cheap. The service throughout our visit was indifferent bordering on frosty. Disappointing, particularly considering the excellent service that we received from other independent establishments in Peebles during our stay.

There was a fantastic range of very tasty cakes and chocolate delights. Lattes very good too. Let down by poor table clearing - not just that we had to clear our own table but all the time we were there pots were left on tables for far too long after tables had been vacated. Spoils an otherwise impressive ambience.

First visit here. Everything looked delicious so popped in for coffee which was very nice. Smores cheesecake so light, mocha mousse cake very tasty. So much to choose from. We also bought little individual chocolates from the counter for a gift. Lovely little place would definitely come back.

Visited because of photos on Instagram. Bought 5 cakes, 1 being VEGAN. Appalled to find that the assistant packaged them all in 1 box, with vegan choice touching other cakes! I had to ask for cake to be swapped for another slice, and individual box. Being vegan also means you are dairy free. Some people can become really ill from consuming Dairy Products. Won't be back, disappointing. Cakes very sweet, based very hard, threw out more than was eaten.

Called in for tea and cake. Very impressed with the delicious looking range of cakes and amazing selection of teas and coffees Interesting that many were labelled low gluten, which when I enquired meant they were made with gluten free ingredients in a kitchen where gluten was around. Very much enjoyed my cake and tea.

This cafe has had some excellent reviews, including from family, so we had to visit. The cakes and chocs on display are truly amazing; worth going just to look at them. But the coffee we had was disappointing. Too thin for our taste (double shots), and not enough flavour. But we like our coffee.

Pure chocolate decadence, of the highest quality, turned into masterful works of art. This shop has an amazing assortment of handmade pastries, boxed chocolates, several options for out of this world hot chocolate, teas and coffee; They even have vegan chocolate options. Modern decor with a spacious seating area, relaxed atmosphere, nicely presented display cases. The staff is friendly, and toilets are available to patrons. This is a must visit in Peebles. Great gift options for any occasion; you can?t go wrong with chocolate. This is the very best chocolate I?ve ever tasted; highly recommended!
