Popped in for lunch. It was very busy(a good sign), but staff happily advised a table would be ready shortly. Staff were swift to clean table and we were seated in no time. We sat beside the old oven which was nice. Great selection on the menu, all traditional breakfast rolls, light bites, cakes - a good variety. We opted for a breakfast roll and tea. All fabulous, thick and tasty slices of Stornaway black puddling - perfect. Price range was very reasonable. Nice homely atmosphere.Friendly staff. And you can see the busy kitchen, which looked spotless and organised. I'd highly recommend and hope to visit again.

Reinstated my faith in having a Full Breakfast, after a previous experience (elsewhere) turned me off them. Get a pot of tea, it lasts you an age, but let it stew before you enjoy it. Would of missed this great place as there's little signage to shout it's praises, hopefully folk will see this and give it a go. Enjoy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Oven Door in Peebles! I had the Coconut and Passion fruit Cake which was divine! My husband had a lovely cheese scone. This is a lovely quaint tea room, staff so friendly and helpful who also welcomed our large dog, Johnny in with us. The gorgeous cakes/scones we were told were baked by the mum and daughter who own/run the business. Everything was scrumptious and we will visit again!

Well worth the wait. A wee hidden gem that we stumbled across whilst visiting Peebles, waited a while but they were busy so that's okay and it was well worth the wait! The interior is lovely and tidy & the outside garden area is great on a warm sunny day. I recommend the Club Sourdough and a nice ice latte :) will visit again if we come back to Peebles.

A hearty breakfast at the Oven Door. Quality food and great service. Thank you. And you should treat yourself to one of their in-house sourdough loaves to take away. It was superb!

An absolute wonderful spot for good food and service. Excellent atmosphere and most welcoming. Felt like we were in someones’s kitchen chatting over a pot of tea. A very quaint place to be from the hustle and bustle of High Street.
