Well worth a pilgrimage: coffee with passion
Passion makes a difference and 'Pilgrims Coffee Shop' is a case in point. This family run tea room on Lindisfarne is a highly recommended spot to rest your weary feat and quench your thirst after a wander out to the castle or around the battered Abbey. Holy Island is a treat of the Borders region and if you make it here then you should remember to come here too.
The setting was wonderful as the cafe has a charming walled garden with plenty of seating that is a sun-trap (if you are lucky enough to have sunshine like us, remember you are not visiting the Borders for the weather - as a man in a local shop reminded me).
The family run cafe should surprise you with the quality of their coffee (truly excellent) and their home-made cakes are a winner too. Unfeasibly friendly you can just tell that the family team care about what they are doing. If you want convincing then take a look a their fun website as I did.
