Very tasty food at excellent prices. Nice atmosphere inside and the servers were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!

would go to the Bothy or Dee bridge cafe instead, a lot nicer atmosphere and less rude staff.

Maybe we got them on a bad day but as new customers we didn't feel welcomed. If the other cafe we normally go to is packed again, we'll give them a second chance.Maybe it was because we'd just got off the hill after a night in a bothy and we looked dishevelled ?

Service rude - dry cake and refused to serve bread, bagel or toast as it was lunch time.

This is not a review about the food as we never got that far. We had been on an 8 mile walk with our dog and came to this Cafe as it was dog friendly. We were shown to a seat and sat and waited to be served, 5 minutes later another couple came in and were shown a seat. 17 minutes passed, no one came near us, but the couple who came in after us were served. We did note there were at least 3 members of staff that we saw. We felt ignored and had no option to walk out. A Shame as the decor was very nice and the cakes looked very good. We went to another cafe and had our food there. Won't be back.

Premium price for average food, the coffee is nice but the bagel was just swimming in mayo, so much that you couldn’t taste anything else, then on the side was coleslaw which was more mayo!Wasn’t very warm in there either, considering the price point they could turn the heating up a bit.

Very disappointed to be refused coffee and cakes as they were “only serving lunch”!! I will never step foot in here again and nor will I recommend anyone else to do so!!! Appalling! Must be making plenty money to be able to refuse patrons!! Plenty other lovely cafés in Ballater who will happily take your money. At the very least please make it obvious to people before they step in and sit for 10mins waiting to even be acknowledged that you only serve certain things at certain times. Shameful!!!

Delicious haggis, sweet onion chutney & mozzerella panini & amazing Angus beef burger. Pleasant staff & fun customers.
Pretty average to be honest, no very welcoming & food average at best. Expensive for what it

This is my favourite place to eat in Ballater. The staff are super friendly, adapted their menu for dietary needs and made us feel super welcome (including our dog!)

Had a lovely outdoor meal here. Enjoyed the black pudding. Would not recommend the London Fog as there was some artificial sweetener in it I couldn't quite enjoy the tea. My husband had standard tea. Do that. Fast and kind service.

Great find! Really varied menu - food was cooked fresh and tasted great and scones were the best we've had for a long time. We had heard it served the best coffee in Ballater and weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly and attentive - plus the young waitress was a gem. We will definitely be back!
