Purdy's Coffee House

I have visited Purdy's twice again since my last review in the hope that I will enjoy as much as I did growing up but each time a member of staff has been nothing but rude. I won't be back and I recommend you go elsewhere.

Stop off on the way to Tarves,Lovely brunch,with Bagel and bacon and scrambled eggs,followed by a delicious scone,my wife having pancakes,A most welcome stop off,Will certainly be back here, attentive staff and very prompt service .

This coffee shop used to be called Coffee at Alison's but now Purdys. Decor change as well as most of the staff. Great for coffe or lunch. Big selection of lunch type meals also can be bought as a carry out. Definitely worth a visit View menu

Well, we went for a walk around Forfar Loch and decided to do a bit of shopping before hand dropping in to Purdy's for a bit of lunch. What a great find, good food, well presented and not really expensive, The place was comfortable and warm (as it was close to zero outside) with very nice and helpful staff.

Café is very clean and stilish, comfortable seat, unfortunately food was not very impressive. My husband ordered roll and sausage for his breakfast, sausage was microwaved and very hard, this made it very unappetising. My latte was too hot, very milky and lacking in taste, on positive side their scones were freshly baked and tasty. The people working there were nice and friendly.

Up to show one of my classic cars the next day at Glamis, popped into Forfar for a wander round then wanted a drink and snack. Went into Purdys for Earl Grey tea with a fruit scone, jam and cream. The scone was still hot out of the oven which was lovely, as was the jam and cream. Customers came in with a small dog, which surprised me. Service/working dogs I quite agree with but I was a bit surprised to see a (albeit small) dog allowed in. I just hope the waitress washed her hands after stroking it. View menu

Popped into Purdy 's for a coffee and a snack at 15.45 Monday afternoon. Approx 4 sets of eyes greeted our entry and 3 immediate rather loud comments of We re closed greeted us. Pardon me ladies I do apoligise. We left feeling quite embarrassed that we dared look for a coffee at such a late hour in the day!! I did however check the comments on Trip Advisor and found the only real negative which seemed to pop up quite often was the rude staff. Ah well plenty other coffee shops in town which were still open,and greeted our custom, thankfully.

I am usually in The Airlie Arms, in Kirriemuir, on Saturday mornings, for a regular meeting, but unforseen circumstances caused me to have to face the winter-logged road to Forfar this snowy day and I had an hour's wait to endure so repaired to Purdy's Coffee Shop, in Castle Street, to see if they too sold teas. No worries on that count. Three young ladies were on duty and, quickly, I had my tea on the table and my bacon and egg roll on the way. I was completely delighted with the very welcome service, food and drink I received there ... In nice, clean and tidy, pleasantly simple surroundings.The wee place filled up quickly and it became, thought I, a fine local pit stop esp for those who cr...

We have been here for lunch before and enjoyed it usually something simple like soup and a sandwich but always happy enough. Today I decided on the 'salad platter ' as it was such a hot day, a square plate with a few slices of chicken (nice and plentiful enough) but the salad consisted of a pile of iceberg lettuce strips with a few bits of diced cucumber and 2 cherry tomatoes halved with a dressing over it. The only thing I had specified apart from the chicken was that I didn 't want raw onion. I would have liked peppers, carrots, coleslaw/potato salad, maybe a boiled egg but there was nothing else. The only difference between mine and the side salad on the other plates was that i had a bigg... View menu
