The Naked Sourdough Bakery & Café - Kelso

We visited The Naked Sourdough in Kelso at the weekend and it was amazing. We had strawberry pastries and almond and blueberry croissants, and carrot cake which were delicious, as were the coffees. The staff were lovely and so calm on a very busy morning with people queuing out of the shop. We’ll definitely visit again!

Lovely little place. Rode down on my bike and found this little place when parked up. Couldn’t buy anything to take with me but was very tempted! Pistachio Cruffin was delicious. Friend had a toasty which looked amazing.

Staff are very friendly! I’ll make sure I’ve got a bag next time!

We found this lovely cafe on a visit to Kelso. All the food (mainly baked goods) and drink is really tasty and made from quality ingredients. Lots of awards for best sourdough in the region. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There is a deli counter selling groceries too. The decor is pretty and atmosphere welcoming.

We're so lucky to have this place in Kelso.

Well thought-out bread and pastry offerings from this eatery, that offers something different in the locality. Tasty pastries with care over quality of bake and eating consistency.

A truly dog-friendly environment, with neat decor and relaxing vibes.

The staff are superlative, really friendly, kind and conscientious.

Naked Sourdough, you are appreciated!

I love great bread and bakeries. This is one of the best. Set in the beautiful town of Kelso you will enjoy amazing sourdough and wonderful treats. This is a standard way above anything else. Excellent coffee too.

Small little shop selling sourdough products which we popped into a couple of weeks ago. We arrived at lunchtime on a Friday and by this time they had already sold out a lot of their items, and there were no more seats available, so maybe not to best time to leave a review but hey! I wanted to try one of their loafs but sadly they had sold out. They only had sweet options and a rather unappetising salmon black croissant. What I did like was that they had left over pastries from the previous day at around half price. I ended up getting a fresh almond croissant and an older carrot cake swirl. My wife got a chocolate hazelnut cruffin. All treats were enjoyed. The almond croissant had a tasty filling, lacked the layers and airiness but was tasty nonetheless. The swirl was pretty good but I reckon it would’ve been much better if it was fresher as the pastry was a little stale but that’s to be expected I suppose. The cruffin was sugar crisp on the outside and soft flaky centre of with a nice chocolate filling.
I had been to their Jed store which I gave 5 stars but I wasn’t quite feeling that high on this day. The staff were nice enough at Kelso but not as pleasant and cheerful as I remember the Jed staff being.
Overall, 4 stars is fair I feel.

Whilst visiting Kelso and it being lunch time we walked around the town square looking for a cafe. It was a Sunday so some were shut or opened later.

We found the Naked Sourdough bakery just off the square on a side street.

A small cafe with lots of bread to buy and take home.

The cafe soon filled up so we were lucky to get a seat. We only had small plates but the food was very good.

Parking is on the square which is a 5 minute walk to the cafe.

Great coffee and delicious bread and pastries here. Small, with only 3 tables if you want your coffee and cakes in. Big queue for bread on arrival, but luckily a table available..
