The Humble Table is a cozy café tucked away on Brown Street in Newmilns, quietly positioned beyond the old lace mills. It’s the kind of spot that locals often stumble upon after a walk or cycle through the surrounding valley, offering a comfortable pause with a friendly welcome and space to settle in, whether inside or in the outdoor seating area. Dog owners will appreciate that their four-legged companions are equally welcome, making it a low-key, inclusive choice for those exploring the area on foot or wheels.

Its atmosphere leans towards relaxed and informal, with spacious seating that suits both solo coffee breaks and lingering brunches with friends or family. The menu features straightforward, satisfying dishes that match the easygoing vibe – poached eggs on avocado with added bacon, hearty French toast drizzled with syrup and accompanied by bacon, or a warming bowl of minestrone soup. These meals, paired with fresh juices or well-made coffees, make it a reliable spot to start the day or recharge mid-adventure.

Parking is convenient enough for visitors unfamiliar with the area, though first-timers might want to use satnav to avoid missing the café’s tucked-away entrance. The service is friendly and efficient without feeling rushed, supporting the café’s role as a preferred stop for locals who enjoy good home-style food and a warm, inviting environment. The Humble Table works well for anyone seeking a peaceful corner to relax after outdoor activities or simply to enjoy straightforward, tasty comfort food in an unpretentious setting.

Only wish I could give them more stars. Every meal a delight and has a very friendly atmosphere.

We do a lot of walking up the valley. The Humble Table is a bit off the beaten path for passing traffic, so satnav for first time visitors. It is great start point for walks and cycling. Dog friendly, inside and outside seating. Food and drink are good, staff friendly and easy to park. Really hope this cafe works out.

Called in for coffee and scones. Warmly welcomed, quick service and excellent food and drinks. Scones were delicious and freshly made. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Just recently discovered this cafe. It is tucked away along Brown Street, past the old lace Mills, but it is worth seeking out. I also took my dog into the cafe, which is amazing that that is available. One of us had homemade French Onion Soup with Mozerella sprinkled on top, and I had a roll with Slice and a Fried Egg. Very reasonable prices, nice and spacious comfortable surroundings and lovely food & service. What more could you want! We'll be going again. Highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Bit out of the way and unimposing from the outside, but excellent inside with a great menu and service, they had some delays cooking so marked down one star. I had French toast with bacon & syrup and a black coffee my colleague had poached eggs on toast with hot chocolate and everything was tasty and good and will definitely be back
