Stumbled upon this gem of a place after an early morning walk on a very cloudy day. The Scottish fish chowder with garlic bread definitely hit the spot ??Coffee is really good

Great place to pop by for a coffee visit. Ambiance is also superb. Be aware it is located inside another shop but there should be signs.

Got some coffee and a cranberry and brie sandwich. Sandwich was over £8 and consisted of the cheese and Cranberry inside 2 ordinary slices of what looked like supermarket style brown bread with a few crisps and a tiny bit of salad. Some nice crusty bread would have been nice. Bill about £12. Is a nice comfortable cafe but unfortunately very overpriced for what I received. Will look elsewhere for a quick bite.

Fantastic place to eat. Food was absolutely gorgeous, service fantastic and nothing was a problem to the young waitresses. We couldn't finish ours, very generous portions so took the rest away with us. Definitely be back. Keep up the good work everyone.Ps highly recommend Chicken Schnitzel with Potato Salad and Cream of Mushroom Soup.

We visited for a light lunch. Brie & cranberry sandwich and avocado open sandwich. Sandwich untoasted and avocado sandwich bland. Both grossly overpriced. £26 inc Tea & Coffee. Not an enjoyable experience, felt ripped off. Don’t recommend.

Oh my goodness, what a hidden gem! The food was amazing, we had fish and chips and scottish fish chowder. The service was brilliant, attentive and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Had heard about this place and how you you could get a dog bed to use whilst in the cafe & so dog friendly etc. It sounded right down our street for our dogs. However….on entering the shop we saw so many signs instructing customers with dogs to be very mindful to ensure that their dog didn’t foul inside the shop ? Some staff also seemed to be loitering watching and it really made us feel uncomfortable. We decided not to stay for anything to eat or drink and move on. In our opinion there really wasn’t a need to put these sort of signs up, we’ve never encountered anything like this elsewhere, ever. Such a shame as the reviews seemed so encouraging. If the owners are trying to encourage dog owners to spend their time and money here it seems a strange way of going about it ?

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff but the food is incredibly overpriced. Would recommend adding a side of some kind to the plate because right now if you order an open sandwich it's just one slice of bread with a couple of toppings and not what you expect for £10-12.

Lovely cafe which we have used many times. On this visit however, the staff seemed to be wanting to entertain themselves rather than provide a service and suitable environment for the customers. One particular staff member had an extremely loud (and annoying) laugh which was bearable whilst she was in the kitchen but then she, and it seemed all the other staff, congregated in the customer area and proceeded to have a loud laugh and a chat, joined soon by some of their children arriving after school. We felt more like intruders than paying customers - not a pleasant experience at all.

Really great place. Airy, peaceful, even with several dogs in situ! Plenty of room between tables ensuring you don't have to wedge your dog under the table to allow waitresses to pass. Most attentive and pleasant staff, and food was great. Dog biscuits and water on hand too.
Really good food, the fish and chips is top on! It also helps being dog friendly (staff gave loads of treats to the pup).Also, have some cake... it's to dying for!

Lunched today with my 84 year old auntie - both ordered a sandwich and a coffee - quick service - sadly the bread was too thick for my auntie to eat, so was mainly left. My Brie and cranberry was not toasted so I couldn’t eat it , and there is no facility to toast at the restaurant (?!) The staff were unsure of whether they could help, when I said I wouldn’t be able to eat it - I was offered the option to purchase something else (already paying for the one I couldn’t consume) so I declined - perhaps I should’ve asked if it was toasted but overall the customer service was incredibly poor and at £25 for 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees it was disappointing. Nice, clean environment - but wouldn’t recommend.

We love stopping here on our way further north. There is parking on the side road opposite. The restaurant is located up a central staircase inside the CCW Store. It is dog friendly, and there are dog beds, drinking water and treats, for the comfort of your pets. The food is always piping hot and delicious, with a good variety of cakes and sweet treats.

Very nice cafe, very spacious, on the second floor of a hiking clothes shop, and with a great view on Ben Ledi.
