Easily accessible off the a1 with free parking and I can even do my weekly food shopping in the farm shop. The thing i love the most about brambles coffee shop are the daily specials and the brambles club sandwich. this place has a wonderful atmosphere, not like you usual fast food coffee shops, more like a restaurant but with very cheap prices. you can eat and drink for under £5 easily and be well fed with huge portions. In summer you can not beat sitting outside in the sunshine at brambles. this place can get extremely busy and must do tremendously well. thats why they have decided to build a large extension i suppose but it just shows what good friendly service, good comfy atmosphere and good value tasty food can do. I can highly recommend the paninis or the prawn salad. the salads are very large so go hungry first.

It's a nice little place on Moffat High Street with nice traditional decor (feels a little…read moreParisian!) good coffee and plenty of seating. I would visit again. It has working wifi and the staff are pleasant. There's at least one table with a plug socket by it. It's only a 3 star review because of food quality, price and ambience. Quality: The scone came with squirty cream and jam in little plastic pots like at a hotel breakfast. Not terrible, but not really what you'd hope for. Soup was pleasant though not exceptional, served with a very cheap white roll which was fresh but not nice. Should just underline - it's proper coffee and well made, so if that's what you're after this is a great place. Price: The traditional breakfast is £8.90! Including coffee, but still. Jacket with cheese and beans £6.50. Toasties all over £4.50. So, not outrageous but for the quality not great. Finally, ambience: the radio in the kitchen is playing bad rock music from Radio 1 coupled with the ranting of a day time DJ and jingles. It is audible throughout the cafe, the staff chatting behind the counter the only other noise. The fridges hum and some of the tables have got staff working at them preparing for tomorrow I guess (we're here latish in the day). It's not outrageous, but it makes it distinctly less homely to be here. So overall, somewhere that is perfectly passable and definitely not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to spend time. With a few tweaks or maybe on a different day might be much better. Didn't try the cakes but there's a fine selection and they cook really good.

We hid from the rain this little cafe and ordered some excellent fry ups. Two of us had the standard English breakfast while Dan went for the large version which contained a serious amount of meat. I really enjoyed mine. The line up was scrambled egg (you get to choose you egg type), sausage, bacon, black pud, beans, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown and toast. My toast could have been more toasted (it was still pretty much bread) but everyone else's looked good so I think it was a blip. I had a latte too which was good. It's waitress service to order but they were not in any rush to come over so if you are hungry I'd suggest heading up to the counter.

Dave and I shared stories of our time in the military. My sides were hurting from all the laughing. The rooms were perfect, I was in the double en suite and the 2 kids in the twin en suite. The next morning after a hearty breakfast, Dave dropped us off on the hiking trail with one last story. Rejuvenated we were off again but all 3 of us wanted to go back for 1 more day. Highly recommend.
