Blend Tea & Coffee Merchants in Highland

We had a great breakfast at Blend. The choice is wide and the products are good. In addition, the staff is the friendliest!!

awesome little place! really lovely atmosphere. the food was SO good, absolutely recommend

There's sacks of beans of all over the place so no great surprise, the coffee's excellent, good value too, and served by an Invernessian barista, in and of itself a huge novelty. A really nice, welcoming, chilled out kind of place.

Great place for a little snack. The bagels and teas are delicious. Special mention for the Bakewell cherry cake

Delicious vegan bagel, super soup and great coffee. Plus dog friendly !

Lovely coffees! Really liked the diverse specialties they offer on their menu, and the staff is very helpful. Would visit again.

such a cute cafe, the bagels and coffee were so good!

The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel was outstanding. Bagel was perfectly buttered, the bacon was still sizzling, and the egg was fluffy and rich. The cappaccinos we ordered were the best coffees we've had in the entire UK. Strong, not watered down or overloaded with chocolate powder. Perfectly made, no notes, would rate 10 stars if I could.

Den besten vegetarischen Bagel mit Avocado meines Lebens gegessen! Der Bagel war perfekt getoastet, außen knusprig und innen schön weich. Die Avocado war reif und cremig, hervorragend gewürzt und harmonierte perfekt mit den frischen, knackigen Zutaten. + Top Cappuccino!

Great selection of cakes (vegan ones as well) and excellent coffee. However, the service was below average. We asked to close the door since it was uncomfortably cold inside and we were told not to because it would get too hot inside. Other customers had to put on their jackets as well. At 4:45 p.m. another customer was only served take away coffee since 'they were about to close'. At 5:15 we were told to leave since they were closing and they started cleaning the floors. Official opening hours are until 6 p.m, when confronted they just said 'oh sorry'.Although we enjoyed the food and drinks we cannot recommend this place due to the service. Unfortunately we didn't feel welcome at all.

Very good breakfast place and not so expensive on the main street

Super yummy brunch menu. Biscoff waffles were delicious, and with vegan options too. Smoothie and matcha latte were all good as well. Would recommend!

Excellent little coffee shop. Out of the many coffee shops we stopped at on our journey through Scotland to Orkney it was one that stood out as one to remember for the quality of coffee on offer, the service and the ambience of the shop. Highly recommended. Keep up the solid work Blend.

Very friendly staff and the coffees was lovely.

Blend is hands down the best coffee spot in all of Inverness! Tucked away on a quiet back street, it might not have the flashiest exterior, but don’t let that fool you. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a cozy atmosphere and, most importantly, the best coffee you’ll find in town. The quality of the brews is exceptional—rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It’s clear that the team at Blend takes their coffee seriously. If you’re a coffee lover, this is the place you absolutely must visit while in Inverness. A true hidden gem!

Very friendly staff! Can recommend the daily bagel special and soup ☺️. Also great cappucino and matcha latte as well as iced cold brew coffee with pistachio

Just bought a iced drink and it was 10/10. Super cute cafe that sells local art. Great food selection that is vegetarian friendly.

Friendly place, warm welcome and delicious cakes ♡

Nice location near the train station for a quick stop or longer stay. Both the maple spice flat white and passionfruit cake were delicious.

Two months later and I'm still thinking about the Matcha+Rosemary drink which I believe was on the day menu. The cakes were delicious too! Totally recommend :)

Super nice place, both for food and service!! Especially grateful for the delicious vegan food! Also, the price-performance ratio is very good. Will for sure visit again if in the area :)

Amazed by the positive reviews. Stopped in for breakfast today... Coffee was good, but food took ages, arriving a solid 10 minutes after we had leisurely finished our coffees. The long wait was particularly puzzling as NOTHING (sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs) is cooked from scratch, but rather heated up in one three microwaves. I think even the bagels themselves were just microwave defrosted, rather than toasted. The £9(!) Mexican Scramble Bagel arrived with chorizo despite ordering a veggie version. At least they didn't charge us for that.. One staff member was apologetic for serving meat to a vegetarian, but the older lady (the main microwave chef) just rolled her eyes when I said we didn't have time for them to try making the order again as we had a train to catch. As much as I want to support independent cafes wherever I go, is highly recommend the Nero or McDonald's around the corner for a reliable breakfast.

Friendly ladies who offer honest and tasty products

Waited around 15 minutes for two flat whites and they were just coffee with scolding milk.

Arrived at opening for to go sandwiches since we had to get to Edinburgh for a flight. Shop opened at about 9:15. Sandwiches were delicious though.

gorgeous cafe with friendly staff and lovely, welcoming atmosphere. the rainbow bubbles drink was so good

Insane bagels! Belgium waffles with cinnamon apples caramel and cream amazing!

Lovely cafe, scrumptious food and helpful staff

Just had a delicious breakfast at Blend and so happy about it I want to tell the world

Welcoming and friendly staff, nice selection of food, cleanly premises, healthy options, and inclusive (dietary & vibe)

We enjoyed a delicious £5 bagel and a flavorful soup of the day at Blend Café. I highly recommend it: the food was excellent, the staff was friendly, and there was a fantastic variety of options available.

Stopped there for a snack, very good discovery!!! Cappuccino, matcha latte, pastry and scone. Great 😁

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and a great menu. I wanted to try one of everything but opted for the satay tofu bagel which was absolutely delicious and the tofu was cooked perfectly! The prices are super fair too as it cost me less than £10 for a coffee and bagel. Next time I will try and squeeze in a cake too.

It was all perfect!! Staff super cordial and nice, the drinks were made to perfection as were our bagels. The atmosphere is very welcoming! I’d love to come back one day!

A favorite stop during our visit to Inverness—great selection of boba teas, coffees, and light bites like bao buns.

bacon and egg bagel, biscoff, banana and cream pancake and hot chocolate were nice. service was good too.

Nicest coffee and Oreo brownie Iv ever had.

Amazing coffee and fantastic brownie (which was vegan)

Had been here years before and the staff very lovely. This time they were so disinterested - the girl who served me was called Becca (overheard this) and she really needs to work on her customer service. Also observed her being really rude to a gay couple who being very polite - didn’t expect to see this level of hostility in 2024.

We had pancakes and a bagel. It was delicious and the plates are really stuffed.

Wee bonnie place this in Inverness. Would highly recommend

great wee place for some bubble tea, drinks and snacks. lunch menu is a little basic, mostly bagels with vegan / vegetarian options. yet to visit early enough for the breakfast menu, but it looks quite attractive. friendly atmosphere and staff. definitely a favourite.

Lovely little cafe, been many times and will happily go many more times!!

I absolutely adore this little cafe. Since moving to the highlands I have missed my bubble teas deeply and my cozy casual cafes - and Blend does both perfectly. They have a unique and tasty lunch menu filled with wraps and bagels. And also, an incredible drinks menu! 10/10 would recommend.

Lived in Inverness 2 years and this was our first visit, definitely not the last, it’s our new favourite for coffee and lunch. The coffee is great and the bagels are fantastic. They have a fantastic vegan range if that’s your thing. I had the Roma chicken bagel, it was delicious. My husband went for the onion baghi special and he loved it.

This is my absolute favourite cafe in Inverness. Fresh, delicious food, perfect every time. The bagels are seriously delicious and it is remarkable that they can produce such great food from such a tiny space. There is an incredible range of different and interesting drinks- both hot and cold .Love Love Love

Endroit sympa pour y prendre un petit repas Nous y avons mangé à 2 adultes et 1 enfants et nous y avons été très bien reçu ! Peu de place mais c'est se qui fait le charme du lieu ❣ Il existe des menus pour les enfants avec une boisson, un demi beggle et une sucreries pour moins de 4 lives starling. Nous avons pris un dessert très très bon ! Et j ai succombé au smoothie cookie and cream ! Je vous le conseil !

Une ruelle un peu glauque, mais une échoppe dans l'air du temps. Le service matinal, pas très souriant et causant, ni conseillant, peut-être marre des touristes... Par contre des pancakes de haut vol, un bon café, de quoi passer un bon moment et prendre un bon petit déjeuner. Une carte salée ou sucrée, bien garnie sur les deux tableaux. Je recommande.

Super quick service - appreciated ☺️ and a good atmosphere

Cute little cafe just off the main road. We were staying at the Royal Highland Hotel and needed somewhere quick to grab breakfast before heading out exploring for the day. Had lovely porridge, bagel sandwich, tea, and one of the best lattes I’ve ever had! Definitely a must-try.

Nous nous sommes régalés dans ce café, accueil très chaleureux et tout était très bon. Nous avons testé les bagels et les pancakes... Mention spéciale aux pancakes banane speculos; ils étaient incroyables !

Beautiful food for all tolerances. Charming service every time I’ve been in

Delicious porridge and PSL. Lovely staff.

Cute little cafe behind the main shopping street in Inverness. Tons of options for freshly prepared wraps and bagels. Great hot chocolate too! Do try the nacho wrap, one of the best I've ever had!

Small shop tucked away on a short street. Best coffee I’ve had in inverness, bagel sandwich was great, and blueberry scone doesn’t need any cream or jam to be perfect. If they’re busy you’ll be waiting a bit for your food and drink, but just relax and enjoy the buzz.

Best croissant and oat Cappuccino (It was the best coffee I've ever had.)

Had a great breakfast at Blend. Coffee was excellent and the food was great. Really nice menu. Friendly service from the girls. I will definitely go back!

Adresse conseillée par un guide et qui vaut un arrêt. Large choix de plats sucrés et salés tous aussi bons les uns que les autres. Personnel pro et accueillant

Freundliches Café mit günstigen Preisen, das etwas versteckt in einer Seitenstraße liegt. Nette Bedienung und gutes Frühstück!

Très bon endroit pour un lunch, prix abordable et bon dessert.

The bagels are delicious and very reasonably priced. Great vegetarian menu, we both got something we really enjoyed! Would definitely recommend

Have only tried the nacho bagel and the roma bagel. Both super tasty. Love blend cafe its unique and brings a menu you don't just get 'anywhere' . Can't wait to come back to try some teas

Gemütliches Café mit einer tollen Auswahl an Kuchen und kleinen Snacks. Besonders die Bagel sind absolut empfehlenswert und ein Muss bei jedem Besuch!

Great food and very hard working staff in a small food prep area. Could do with better air conditioning and a coat of paint on the ceiling.

Delicious oat latte and yummy mint cake! Sweet staff and everything is affordable.

Killer soup and GF bagel, incredible coffee. So so happy, and so cheap!!

We totally love Blend for a quick food & drink stop. The wraps and bagels are to die for, and the drinks are always gorgeous ☕️

Great food, drinks and cakes. Especially love their variety of veggie options, smoothies and tea. I've been going here for years! They also usually have a nice little selection of local art, craft and food products. The staff is friendly as well.

Nice place with a good choice of food and drinks. One of the few places in Inverness selling bubble tea!

The deli bagel was so good. Quaint cute little shop. 5 stars!

This is a cozy cafe with a nice alternative vibe. Where you get delicious looking and tasting food and drinks. Where you can chill out, grab a board game or work on your laptop. It is quite popular, so sometimes in summer you might have to wait and come back as they have 7 tables and ruffly 18 seats. Vegan and gluten-free friendly and always new cool drinks on the menu. Plus I like that they display and sell local arts and crafts.

I've been coming here for a couple of years now and it's always excellent. Great selection of drinks with quirky seasonal specials, great food (and very accomodating to my Gluten intolerant, Vegan girlfriend) The BBQ Melt Bagel is simple but my favourite meal to eat in Inverness!

I got an amazing bubble tea here! It tasted so good!! This place was so welcoming and I would come back if I lived local!!

Not the most trendy or modern cafe, but definitely great value, food is freshly prepared. They even offer you some board games! Recommend the nacho bagel. Cappuccino was very good, prices overall very reasonable. Service great as well. Definitely worth it for lunch.

How can a cafe not open before 9:00

Absolutely lovely food and brilliant service. Just saw a 2 star review - only because they aren’t open before 9. Absolutely ridiculous and unfair!! Will 100% be going again.

Really enjoyed my vegan satay wrap and coffee here! Would recommend!

It's back alley location belies the excellent food and drink within. A friendly local family-run cafe, quirky in that it features bagels, which are not exactly a local specialty! Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike. They mysteriously feature a framed dollar bill on the wall, common in the States to frame the "first dollar" made by the business. But not in the UK!

We had lunch here twice on a recent visit to Inverness and were very pleased with the great choice for vegans. The soups, wraps and smoothies were all good and reasonably priced. We had the Mediterranean vegetable soup and also Mushroom, both were good and tasted homemade. The wraps or bagels offered some interesting fillings - humous/salad, a vegan haggis one and a black bean/guacamole. Two of our favourite cafes have recently closed so we were very happy to find Blend and will definitely go again on our next trip.

Thank you for your amazing bagels.

Bagels were great. The place offers some books and games as well.

Lovely, friendly place with good vegan options and very reasonably priced. Went here twice in one day!

Fantastic staff, tea and cake! Must visit! Do not miss this wonderful place! Has great breakfast dishes available, also for vegetarians. Very tasty, very recommended.

Great service Small but cosy place Gluten -free and vegan options Good proce for quality

Great coffee and bagels from this place. Have visited quite a few times over the years. Absolutely love their coconut vanilla lattes. Today I had one made brilliantly by Becca. Was too busy enjoying it to take a photo. In addition to coffee and bagels, they sell a lovely range of cakes and bakes, and also a range of delicious teas. This is a great and welcome addition, since my partner isn't into coffee and many competitors don't offer a good selection of both teas and coffees. The range of teas and coffees they use are available to buy in bags for brewing at home. The coffee is from Thomson's in Glasgow and is of great quality. Highly recommended for refreshments in Inverness city centre.

As a family of 5 and all vegan this cafe was a wonderful find. Delicious food, very helpful staff, as you can see amazing pancakes! Thank you so much

Place to go for a bubaa tea & bagel

Great food, coffee and teas. Reasonably priced.

Awesome for vegetarians. Always return when we are in Inverness!

Was visiting Inverness for the day and popped in to Blend for an early lunch. They have an amazing selection of vegan options and staff were super accommodating. When I was being indecisive about what sort of coffee I wanted a staff member was basically like "I gotchu fam" and served me up pic related. 10/10 experience, will be making a beeline for Blend next time I'm in Inverness.

Cosy place with nice staff. The soup I ordered was very tasty, so was the coffee.

Something a bit different to your usual cafe, loved it and dog friendly

Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious, amazing tea menu

Incredibly tasty bagels and wraps! Super fresh food and a wonderful wee cafe space in the middle of the city.

All-time favourite for vegan lunch in Inverness! So many tasty food options and plenty of delicious drinks. Got somewhat addicted to their bubble tea :D

Absolutely delicious milkshakes and hearty well-made breakfasts. This may be the café in Inverness with the widest drinks variety yet! Also one of the only places to get a boba tea. Chatty staff and overall charming.

Lovely little cafe with great food and pleasant service. The “Mexican Scramble” from their breakfast menu is a work of genius.

Great vegan options. Perfect to takeaway.

A nice little place to sit and have a breakfast and a coffee. Staff was very friendly and the setting was relaxing. This would be my go to coffee place if I lived in the area.

Great service, amazing food for a very good price!
