The Almond Tree

Popped into this lovely community cafe today for lunch. What a lovely welcoming,friendly place. There was such a nice vibe about the place. The food was plentiful and delicious and all made freshly to order. They had a good sized menu which is changed regularly. They had everything from soup, sandwiches,salads,deserts and the most brilliant home baking. We found out whilst speaking to the staff that they are all volunteers and assist young people who are struggling to find employment. They are taught a range of skills and it gives them experience of being in the workplace. What a fabulous bunch of people. We were well impressed and will defo be back for a visit the next time we are in Hawick. Well worth a visit.

Nice place, prices are good. The cakes are nice, coffee is nice and a good price. Only downside was a friend ordered baked potato and the potato was small could have done to be a bit bigger. The soup (potato and leek was lacking flavour they need to add stock to add flavour and the bowl was a bit small. Had these things been better it would have got five stars. Overall nice.
