“ The most adorable cafe right next to the loch, with lovely people. I was blown away with the Honey Walnut sweet treat and had the best Chai latte so far in Scotland. I can highly recommend this cute place... everything was just perfect from the food, coffee to the service ”
“ Excellent find here! They have a good breakfast and lunch menu and a awesome selection of teas. I opted for the pancakes which tasted just as nice as they looked. My wife got a chicken sandwich which she said was also very good. We had to takeaway a couple of cakes. One being the red velvet and the other banana and blueberry. Both of which were delicious. The red velvet had a hint of nutty flavour which was nice. Customer service was excellent. They were all very friendly. It also didn’t seem too expensive which is a bonus! If you are around this neck of the woods be sure to stop by. ”
“ We stopped by this cafe on a rainy day while traveling along the coast of the Scottish fjords. It had a very cozy and homey feel, like a place run by a family. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The interior was simple, but the atmosphere was warm and calm. It was nice to take a break from the road and enjoy the view of the bay through the large windows. The food was tasty, and the prices were reasonable, especially for a tourist area. Everything felt natural and made with care. We were happy to discover a place like this — honest, quiet, and with a personal touch. Definitely worth visiting if you’re passing by. We’d love to come back someday. ”

We ordered the Smoked Salmon Salad, which was delicious, came with plenty Salmon, olives and crunchy salad. The Gluten Free toastie was also excellent, and a good portion also.
