"Discovered this delight in deepest Aberdeenshire when doing a house renovation in the area. Returned with my elderly and frail father, son and granddaughter for a family Sunday lunch. Location is just off the main road, far enough to be safe and quiet for kids to be outside. Menu is limited in size, but still interesting, a beef bolignion, served as shepherd's pie took Dads fancy, wife a quiche, beef burger and Kim chicken for me, chicken burger for DiL, a Moroccan lamb meatball for son and veg soup for the wee one. Everything was cooked great, seasoned well, a good portion size, not the extremes sometimes faced with. V small potato toasties were a standout, sweet potato chips a fail, soggy and why bother? Coffees all round were brilliant, the flat white has a real kick, cakes to go a treat. Service exemplary, immaculately clean, easy access for Dad on a zimmer. Brilliant and we will return"

Fantastic service. The food was lovely and fresh and wow the cakes and coffee are to die for. The cafe itself is beautiful. Could imagine sitting in there in a cold winters day enjoying the cosyness and atmosphere. Stunning.

Nice coffee and setting but staff are becoming pretty unfriendly and portions are tiny. There are a few members of staff who are brilliant but the select few are cold. Menu isn’t great for vegans and salad accompaniments contain dairy View menu

Had a delightful lunch with a filled ciabatta at this restaurant. There was a wide selection to choose from. The coffee that followed was consistently good. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The service was quick and efficient.

This was our first time dining in at this restaurant. The coffee and cakes were mediocre, nothing stood out as exceptional. The coffee was served in a glass without a handle, making it difficult to lift due to the heat. Although the service was good, we were not impressed overall.

Surprisingly not out of the door as they usually were, think there was some kind of Coronation shenanigans going on. Had a very nicely made latte and a superb pot of Earl Grey. Homemade pancakes with maple syrup helped to cheer up the foggy day, a roll with hog roast sausages went down well, lovely beetroot salad on the side too. Service excellent from everyone encountered.

Very very disappointed in my trip to this cafe. I had a so called Bacon Roll which consisted of two small pieces of bacon on a very small softie and a Latte which was served to me in a glass with no handle and as I have osteoarthritis it was very difficult to hold a hot glass without using the napkin I was given. I was charged £7.80 and it said on the menu one filling £4.00 and then in brackets it said 50p for bacon so where does the filling come in, and under the fillings you can have it but is £1.50 for the bacon so very very misleading indeed. I will definitely not be returning to this cafe.

We went following the review in a Sunday newspaper and felt slightly let down. As it didn't quite live up to the hype. The service was friendly and the young members of our group were made to feel very welcome. The coffee was good and there was definitely a choice. As with many coffee shops hard surfaces makes the place noisy. So it was sometimes difficult to have a conversation. Everything we ordered was fine and I would probably go again if passing but wouldn't go out of my way to go again. I had a sausage ciabatta which was mostly bread I left the lid. The cakes were all nice but heavy on the sugar. It was busy all the time so a favourite for people in the area. Booking at lunchtime is pr...
