by the river cafe @ Highland Hospice in Highland

I wandered into this little treasure of a cafe by chance. It’s quite tucked away but well worth the effort. Friendly and engaging staff take a real interest in visitors. The bacon sandwich was fresh and generously filled. Also a great range of homemade cakes and tray bakes. A bright, peaceful and calm atmosphere with a wonderful view of the river and passers-by. Highly recommended and would visit again! Well done team HH 🙂👍🏽

English below ---------------- A small café with a nice lunch menu. It is attached to the Inverness Hospice and offers disabled people an opportunity to work. No matter who, all employees are super friendly. It is easily accessible and offers parking and storage for bicycles. The food came quite quickly and tasted good. There could have been a little more cheese, but there is never enough cheese. The atmosphere is friendly and open. Everything is clean and special requests are also taken into account. We would visit it again and again, especially if you are looking for something small away from the hustle and bustle. ----------------- A small café with a nice lunch menu.

What a lovely place, staff friendly and cheerful, clean and tidy.

On our way to the islands in the Ness, we found this nice place/ Lovely people, had a very nice lentil tomato soup. We can recommend this place.

Lovely place & staff, delicious fresh food at a fair price. Had a perfect lunch there.

Charming café restaurant where we had a pleasant lunch. The mushroom soup and baked potatoe were delicious. Very warm welcome too!

Excellent soups of the day. Also liked the sandwiches, tea and millionaire shortbread. Clearly a place that caters with great pride and quality.

Really friendly staff and quiet place. We were there with our (medium sized) dog and they were accommodating, I recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff when we arrived with a tired toddler. Superb food, cakes and tea, in a lovely setting by the river

Always a friendly place. Staff always smiling and helpful.

Small cafe but very friendly and helpful staff. Food excellent cakes beautiful

Lovely place for a coffee, fair price for a good thing.

A wee cafe in hospice grounds run by lovely volunteers. Soup & cheese scone el yummo😋 Service not fast but more than made up for by friendliness

Lovely customer service, great food (especially the cheese scones) and a lovely cappuccino- thank you again!

Lovely cosy cafe and friendly staff. Tea with a lovely cake. Nice spot to sit and chill after shopping.

Popped in whilst out for a walk. Had a lovely, piping hot, bowl of soup and a delicious home made cheese scone. My husband had a prawn baked potato which he thoroughly enjoyed too. Such a lovely setting by the river side. Plenty parking too if you have a car. The ladies who served us were charming. The cafe was lovely and warm with a spotlessly clean toilet for customers to use. This cafe is a hidden gem and I will most definitely be returning.

Great wee spot by the river. Very welcoming staff. Simple fair served with a smile.

Nice spot, choice of soup of the day or a range of cakes as well as all the coffee and tea options.

Relatively average experience. A lovely old building. Perhaps more visual signs? Tends to be overlooked as a venue.

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and food delicious

Lovely little cafe that is open to everyone. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced. Service is excellent and the food quality is very high. Overall one of the best cafes in Inverness.

Fantastic wee cafe and the two ladies serving were great. We weren’t the easiest customers being a large group with a small child. They were just fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you for your patience during a busy spell! Cakes are delicious too. Would recommend and definitely come back, especially as it’s all for a great cause.

What a lovely place The food was delicious , the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely. Very friendly staff and very helpful with everything that we needed! We wanted to have breakfast, but unfortunately, we didn't have the time as we were running late for our flight! Lovely staff put our order in the little box, and we had it later! We also bought a lovely calendar for 2024 with amazing pictures in it from the shop. highly recommended

This is such a lovely spot for a quiet lunch away from it all. They have a great range of delicious sandwiches and cakes, and you get great summer views of the river if you sit outside. The staff are friendly and it's all in a good cause. Well recommended.

Delightful wonderful staff who were very accommodating with our requests and went out of their way to ensure we were happy with our order.

Walked past it many times before seeing the sign . Glad I found it. Good food and spotlessly clean.

Lovely little cafe with lovely views of River Ness. Good food that felt homemade and friendly staff.

So glad we found this place. The food served for lunch was just what we were looking for, tasty snack at a good price. Place was spotless and staff friendly. Only here for 3 days but planning to good for lunch before heading home .

Lovely little place, very reasonable prices

I had a nice homemade tomato soup with bread, a lemon cake and some tea. Everything was delicious and to a very good price! Very sweet and generous service, made me feel very welcomed <3 I think I've found my new favourite place to lunch! Thank you so much!

Nice sandwich staff were lovely

Lovely surroundings, friendly staff, beautiful rooms

En nuestro segundo día en Inverness, desayunamos en este pequeño café. La gente amable y los deliciosos manjares nos alegraron el día. Decidimos detenernos aquí ya que estábamos de camino a nuestra primera parada del día (los Jardines Botánicos).

Great food and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely little cafe with great staff and even better cake, really is worth a visit as you stroll along the river

We make a point of visiting whenever we are in Inverness. Good coffee (or tea), good food and a good cause to support; what more could you ask? The setting is beautiful, and the cafe is clean, bright and welcoming. The volunteers are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed.Highly recommended.

Good coffee, excellent cakes with gluten free options, friendly staff and an excellent position on the River Ness. Very good value for money.

Favourite of mine. Lovely fresh and airy. Staffed by volunteers. Always a cheery welcome and food is excellent and nicely presented and reasonably priced.

Excellent brews and sandwiches. First class service and chat. Enjoy. Will certainly be calling here again. Inverness hidden gem.

... ideal for a pause with a sweet homemade treat and a coffee or tea. The staff are friendly volunteers.

Dropt in eer for a coffee an cake with my wife and found such a wonderfull place full of great banter from the dedicated volunteers.Learnt a lot from the lovely retired teacher and the young original glasgow boy,many thanks.

A lovely place to stop for a coffee or a light bite in a beautiful spot overlooking the river and next door to Eden Court Theatre.

Posiblemente una de las mejores vistas de Inverness. Esta pequeña joya está escondida en el hospicio Higland. Me recibieron 2 muchachos jóvenes que eran amables y atentos. Pedí una tostada y una galleta de imperio. La tostada llegó con una ensalada muy generosa y una olla de col casera. ¡Me quedé corto de trabajo rápidamente! Absolutamente delicioso. La galleta del imperio también era casera y la galleta se derretía en la boca. La comida, el entorno y el servicio son incomparables. No es el primer lugar en el que piensas venir a comer algo, ¡pero definitivamente es el mejor lugar!

I think this is run by volunteers, but that has no effect on both quality of the food and the friendly service. a lovely setting that can be combined with a nice walk along the riverside. A good selection of cakes to be tried whilst watching the fast flowing river go by, definitely worth a stop-off and nice to know that all profits go to support a worthwhile local charity.

Amazing place, great food and fabulous service. Lovely gifts available too. And all monies go to running the hospice.

I went in twice over the course of two days as I was at a conference at Eden Court. Both days I had soup of the day (first mushroom, then leek and potato) both tasty with a generous chunk of bread. I know so many people who have had loved ones taken care of in the Highland Hospice and it is great to be supporting this cause by eating something of their simple but tasty menu. It is affordable, nothing fancy but just plain and simple food that everyone can enjoy. It's run by the friendliest volunteers who are just so passionate about the hospice as well. Highly recommended! Offers gluten free options too.

Lovely cafe for an excellent charity. Run by the friendliest volunteers. Serves gluten free too. Come and support the Highland Hospice!

This place is a wee gem, staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers, they offer delicious food in a warm and friendly environment. All the food is home made and the coffee Fair-trade. The added bonus is you help support Highland Hospice by being a patron of this wonderful cafe.

This cafe is small but perfectly formed. The soup was amazing, so tasty! The staff are volunteers and so friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit.

We had soup and sandwiches for brunch in this lovely café. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Two wet Australians happened upon this lovely cafe, staffed by volunteers. Great soup, lovely volunteers, home baking. We read all about the beginnings of this great hospice. It really is worthwhile to pass your lunchtime pounds to this very good cause.
