“ What a find, a lovely friendly atmosphere and a huge log burner to keep us warm at this time of year. One of the best coffees I've had in the Borders and a great soup and stuffed pitta for a very reasonable price. My partner had a simply enormous pile of lovely gluten free waffles. It's a great location as there any number of walks from the car park at Harestanes and this comes as welcome reward at the end. ”

“ Lovely seating area. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Robust menu and delicious. If you're purely a must-have meat to eat, then not for you food wise. ”

“ We spent a couple of hours at the Harestanes Playground and then decided to head for lunch with our two kids, 4 and 7 years. Warm welcome from the moment we arrived. Nice selection of gifts and other items by the entrance. All vegetarian dishes and child friendly. Free parking on site and a fantastic inclusive playground next door amble outdoor seating too. ”

“ Located within the courtyard at Harestanes visitor centre. Fabulous vegetarian fare, flatbreads and pittas filled with tasty treats. Coffee is spot on, a big favourite of ours for a wee jaunt. ”

“ The quiet atmosphere that we found here complemented the food, served in a tastefully decorated room with a full-length window. The menu gave us a robust choise from soup to beyond! It was a lovely experience, one to be repeated! ”

“ Seriously good! If you're in the Scottish Borders and are looking for a vibrant cafe offering a delightful menu of vegan and vegetarian dishes, Out-There Artisan is a must-visit The cafe is in a beatiful countryside setting, has a warm & inviting vibe, with a lovely courtyard and indoor seating area that reflects their commitment to quality (loved the copper coloured stainless steel cuttlery - nice touch!) The menu exclusively features vegetarian and vegan options and it’s clear they've a strong purpose and passion behind their food. For lunch I had the red pepper houmus & feta filled flatbread & my partner dove into the sriracha halloumi bagel. Both dishes were not only creative & delicious, but they were also beautifully (& confidently) presented. It's strange sometimes what sticks in your head, but I got to try a bit of the bagel - the guacamoli *chefs kiss* What stood out most though, was the dedicated front of house & waiting staff. They worked tirelessly, stayed calm even though it was very busy & were super-friendly. They really made us feel welcomed and valued I want to give a mention to the products at the till too. You know, it's a small thing, but I don't recall there being any plastic! I liked the bee bombs (these wee guys need our help) and small-batch products from local suppliers I'm really glad we visited. Five stars for providing a lunch experience that aligns with greener lifestyles. Well deserved. ”

“ Came here with the children. Once mid week once at weekend. Really great food which we all enjoyed. Only minor issue had was that we initially got seated by the coffee machine which was on constant use and very loud. I asked to move and it was no issue. Definitely worth a visit. Staff were friendly too. ”

“ Really delicious food. I have had soup, pittas, flatbread - all good. The crispy katsu cauliflower burger is yummy!!! The waffle puddings are huge - got to share. The service is great. Everyone Is so friendly and helpful. The room is cosy ( log burner) with big windows down one side and tastefully thought out. Lovely countryside walks starting there. Lots of parking. ”
