If you are looking for a light lunch or an informal coffee with the daily newspapers, Peebles is well served with cafes and coffee houses.
'Cocoa Black' cafe, chocolatier & patisserie ( which is run by UK World Chocolate Master Ruth Hinks ) is a wonderful place to sit in and catch up with friends.
Also not to be missed is Deli Beans just off the high street on School Brae which is a great place to grab a coffee and abite to go.
