Chaplins in Highland

Very dirty environment. Food served by an unclean looking man. Not very friendly and over priced. No menu available, no prices on show, cash only.

Ihr wollt italienisches Essen?! Dann müsst ihr zu Rosa, sie ist eine Italienerin, sie ist eine Köchin, also auf was wartet ihr? Wir hatten Heute einmal Parmigiana und einmal Pasta Arrabbiata. Vor einigen Tagen hatte ich die Pizza al taglio und eine Focaccia -Top. Ich wünsche ihr und dem Team, dass sie überrant wird und dem Dorf lange erhalten bleibt. Leckere Sandwiches Köstliche Süßspeisen Gute Lage Bester Kaffee Entspannte Atmosphäre

Have used this coffee shop regularly for many years when visiting the area. So sad to find that it has closed. We will miss the homemade cakes and scones that the cheerful owner made on the premises. We will mis this quaint themed coffee shop.

Don’t bother if you’re local. I went for some brunch as the family were away for a few days. Owner gushed over a couple of visitors but as I was in my working clothes I was obviously deemed low life. That was a couple of years ago , my partner and family went today, had to send back the jacket potatoes as they were cold. Maybe the oven is still on furlough!!

Very welcoming as my son and I walked in. Spoken to very politely and shown to our table. Food was excellent and served well. Price very reasonable. Definitely recommend going and will definitely be going back.

This café appears as “ dog friendly” in internet searches. It isn’t . We were refused entry with our dogs .

So sad to make our annual visit here today and find that the owner is having to sell up. Thanks to Covid and cost of living crisis, it is sadly not viable. We loved going there for great food, cakes, coffee, ice cream etc. We will miss getting insulted by Steven's fabulous sense of humour ❤️. Please support Chaplins in the meantime. Definitely worth a visit.

Coffee was good but cakes awful. My danish pastry was still frozen in the middle. When reported to staff they shrugged their shoulders. Cash only and no receipts!

Passing through Grantown-on-Spey and wanted to have an afternoon hot drink and a cake/scone. Went into Chaplins and straightaway noticed tired and dated decor and lack of interest from staff. Could not see a menu but ordered tea, latte, scone and carrot cake which were ok, shock as bill was a third higher than anywhere else we have been in Highlands. Quite frankly now I understand why there is no menu as prices would have put us off, I have since noticed there are no prices on their website either. My face must have given away the shock at bill but no reaction from man behind counter, funnily enough my partner noticed another couples’ shock at their bill as well.

Lovely wee cafe for a fine piece and some lunch. Simple but delicious menu at a reasonable price and polite, friendly staff. Millionaire shortbread is a must have!

After a trek around Anagash Wood with the dogs we popped in here for some lunch. We ordered scampi, ham and cheese toasties and kids sandwiches. All very good. Coffee was hot and coke was lovely and cold. Owner made time for us and was joking around with the kids. This is dog friendly but didn't take our dogs in. Cash only. Apple and cinnamon scone was lovely as was the millionaire shortbread. Lovely little place to shelter from the snow. Won't come back to the area but if your visiting well worth popping in. Thank you for feeding us.

this little cafe has a fine menu choice and high standards of cooking and welcome; highly recommended; excellent ice creams too

A small cafe decorated with Charlie Chaplin items. The place feels a little dated, but it’s clean and tidy. Staff were perfectly pleasant and the service was responsive. Prices were average for the area but it was cash only during our visit. The food served was fine and the coffee was hot. It was busy with a good turnover of tourists during our visit. The place is dog friendly.

My wife and I stopped here for a light lunch today. Delicious toasties and coffee with excellent friendly service. The walls are plastered with black and white photos of him stars plus, of course, Charlie Chaplin. Lovely little cafe with on street seating too.

My wife, daughter and I visited Chapplans coffee shop and entered a place that had an immediate oppressive atmosphere from the get go. We decided to sit down all the same and did not notice a member of staff until a minute or so but did not receive any word of greeting despite sitting right in front of the counter. We then witnessed a group of three customers enter with their dog only for them to be immediately turned away on the basis that there was no room for any more dogs. They questioned this as they pointed out the 'dogs welcome sign' in the door but were dismissed with an unreasonable answer, that 'the area allowed for dogs was full'. I looked around and saw there was no such ' dog area' and there were clearly 3 or 4 empty tables! The baffled people then left. Bizarrely, another group arrived 20 seconds later and they too were asked to leave! My wife looked at me and said she felt very uncomfortable but we decided to find a menu ( as there was nothing on the tables). We were then spoken to asking what we were doing? My wife replied that she was looking for a menu. The man then said he was too busy and asked us to leave! Again, there must have been 3 or 4 empty tables at least. We just couldn't believe we had been treated so appallingly and were not the only ones either. The customers that had somehow managed to not be kicked out on arrival all looked incredibly uncomfortable to witness a family of 3 being asked to leave a good 5 minutes after we had been seated! Utterly bemused, we left! This was the worst eating out experience of our lives!

My wife and I popped in here for a wee cuppa and a cake on a Saturday afternoon. As we entered, the woman behind the counter made it very clear that she didn't want us to sit at the tables to our left of the counter as she had just cleaned that side of the cafe; strange, given that it was only three o'clock. We were asked to sit at a table to our right of the counter instead and we happily obliged. There were two young members of staff working; a teenage boy and a teenage girl. The girl disappeared into the back of the cafe, never to be seen again. We waited for at least fifteen minutes and neither the woman nor boy came over with a menu or to ask if we were lunching or just looking for refreshments. The boy saw me getting up to peruse the cakes in the cabinet but still didn't bother to come over to the table to ask what we wanted to order, but carried on clearing a table instead. Meanwhile, my wife needed to use the bathroom but came back almost immediately as there was a big sign across the sink saying "out of order." You would think during COVID times that one would be able to wash one's hands after using the facilities? So, when she returned to the table we waited another few minutes to see if somebody would come and offer us a menu or take our order. As nobody did, we just left. We didn't bother speaking to any staff members on our way out as they just didn't seem interested and as we left another party of people arrived; maybe they had better luck than us.

Wow still no card payments this has taken a while to sort lol. Tasty food fairly priced. Staff not very customer facing or actually that friendly need some light music in the background and maybe lessons in social skills and engagement with public.

Had the most wonderful coffee and scones. The scones were delicious but the best thing was the MILLIONAIRES SHORTCAKE which was by far the beat I have ever tasted! I cant visit you daily to have another piece as I am from London - i would love the recipe - please!!!

Clean cafe, prompt service in spite of being busy, and helpful staff. We were served good coffee and scones.

A nice little cafe on the high street in Granton. Excellent cakes and scones and the standard range of beverages Great service. Highly recommended

Stopped on our way to Elgin from Perth for midday snack, had a soup with scones and donuts with teas and coffee. The service and food and drinks supplied were excellent. Highly recommended venue.

Called in for coffee on Sunday morning, the welcome wasn't great, don't even remember the gentleman saying hello! What he did make us aware of immediatley was the card payment machine wasn't working, so cash payments only. Having now read the other reviews I'm wondering how long it's been "not working"! My homemade scone was delicious though, slightly warm still, obviously fresh that morning. I'm not convinced my decaff Americano was actually freshly made coffee, it had a taste of instant about it. 2 Americnos, a fruit scone & a Danish pastry cost £11.60 , which I feel is a competitive price. I probably won't rush back which is a shame, due to the lack of competition in Grantown & the location of Chaplins this place should have been buzzing which it definately wasn't.

The man in charge thinks he’s funny, in reality he’s just obnoxious and rude; I felt very uncomfortable being there and wanted to leave before the food had even arrived. In hindsight we should have left at that point. The food we ordered was okay, but definitely not good enough to compensate for how awkward we were made to feel - watching someone openly mock your own 65 year old mother was a horrible experience…and to do so loudly in front of other customers. They take Covid precautions seriously, that’s the only positive comment I can make.

Given the lack of competition, this cafe ought to be a goldmine, but on a Wednesday lunchtime in July with plenty of empty tables (some of them not even set up) I watched 3 groups of people being turned away - the excuse being given that a large group of people had previously walked away without paying because their order took so long, so the owner would only accept groups of 4 or fewer. Most of the passing trade was families on holiday. So, turn away business and tell your customers you don’t trust them? Owner was unfriendly, customers were not acknowledged on entry and ignored once seated. Young server seemed to have received no training in how to take an order and just looked confused when next table asked for gluten free food for a coeliac - lady from kitchen was fine when she came out to deal with this. Food was fine, although order was slightly wrong (past arguing by this point). To top it all, payment was cash only - tiny notice at the till that nobody would see. Owner did not say thank you when I paid. Reviews from last 5 years comment on attitude and disorganisation- stop blaming your customers, get some competent staff who can crack a smile, fill up the tables and turn your business around.

I've visited Grantown on Spey many times, and noticed the overall decline of the town in recent years. This cafe is no exception. Though the windows have had some attention, the interior is dull and dingy and the staff are at best indifferent. Big signs tell you to log in to the covid app, which is fine, but the grumpy man behind the counter wasn't wearing a mask or any other form of protection at all, and for some reason was bending over the drinks as he made them, then proceeded to dismantle the coffee grinder and poke around in it while breathing all over the beans. I felt sorry for the young server as he seemed to get no support, and appeared to be at a loss in how to speak to customers, though he was efficient enough in delivering the food. The whole place could do with a makeover (a counter door was hanging off its hinges), and if this is the best they can do then in the present climate they don't deserve to survive. This was a Thursday afternoon and nowhere else was open or I wouldn't have been in there to start with! Then there's the prices - almost £12 for two lattes and a scone, which had to be paid in cash as they have the same dislike of cards as they do for customers.

Him indoors is partial to homemade ice cream, but it was raining and the candy shop which does Orkney ice cream, only allows two in the shop and there were two already there. So we crossed the road to Chaplins. However, whilst I was negotiating the covid code on my phone, he spied the full menu and decided on soup and a sandwich. We expected a little bowl of soup with a sandwich on the side.Not so.The soup was gorgeous home made leek and potato- not the thick stuff, just a very tasty stock with lots of the veg. Served with homemade crusty bread and butter.Then came the sandwich; each was two slices of home baked bread cut into quarters diagonally. My filling was cream cheese and smoked salmon- very good. His was a mustardy ham with grated cheddar, a great paring and very tasty.But they were served with a lovely dressed side salad of peppers onion and greens, cubed deep fried potatoes, beautifully crisp on the outside and soft inside, and this to die for coleslaw- so good I'd have been happy just with a plate of that and some of their crusty bread.We asked for a pot of tea for two, and got a pot big enough for 4.Excellent efficient service in a very busy lunchtime, with customers from Grantown, tourists, bikers and cyclists. Lovely atmosphere, nice selection of tables for dining or a sofa area if you are just wanting a coffee.Real value for money with change out of £30.

We stopped in here for brunch. It's a medium sized cafe with lots of tables,incl a sofa area. The indoor decor is cute with lots of Chaplin pics and memorabilia plus some nice tea pots in the window. We had toasted sandwiches which are generously filled and came with salad and potatoes. The tea was served in pots so lots of cups.I also had a slice of red velvet cake which was extremely sweet!The loos are very clean and well decorated too.I would definitely recommend stopping in here if you are in Grantown.

Rude manager/owner. Coffee is disgusting and over priced. Food was palatable. Place was also dirty and dated. Avoid at all costs.

Just as it says on the menu, the food is 'just like mum used to make'! Comfort food at its best.I had the lasange and although it was a very generous portion, could have eaten it all day, but in the end decided to finish my meal with a scone. All the staff adhered to current guidelines, and the cafe was spacious and I felt very comfortable being there. Im looking foward to my next visit.Thank you.

Popped in for lunch and everything was good. These are difficult times and even more difficult when few places can accommodate a wheelchair (10/10 for this). We had a warm reception, plenty of space (always a problem elsewhere), prompt service and excellent (baguettes ++) lunch. Thankyou.

Terrible. Worst plate of scrambled eggs ever, salty and over done. Also ordered separate toast. This was cheap thin brown bread and was £2.30 for 1 slice. Breakfast pancakes was 1 pancake! We found everything was over priced. They also don’t take cards so remember your cash if you go. We won’t be going again.

This is a charming cafe with a vibrant atmosphere (even though during our visit we were in the midst of Covid/social distancing). Good seelction of cafe fare, including a great selection of cakes and scones, all very reasonably priced. Sweet wise, we opted for the millionaire shortbread and it's not an exaggeration to say that it was the best we'd ever had!

A pleasant cafe serving excellent savoury and sweet scones. Decent coffee too. A warm welcome and good service.

Was in Grantown on Spey on a road trip from Ballater. Track and trace very easy to use on entry. We had decent coffee and toasties for lunch, came with good portion of salad, coleslaw and fried potatoes. Delicious! Service was efficient and despite being busy we received our food in good time.One last mention to the guy at till / taking orders. Very friendly and ace banter with us and other customers. See you guys next time we're in Grantown on Spey.Recommended

In difficult times they are doing ok. Can’t blame places for ensuring the rules are adhered to for track and trace. It was very busy probably due to other places closed or shut completely. Coffee a bit watery but scone very nice . Staff could be more positive but would come again to give it a second chance.

A very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Great home baking and coffee. The scones were big and tasty, and there was a variety of flavours. Definitely worth a visit.

There wasnt much available early afternoon. Me and wife come to visit the Highlands all the way from Bristol just to be ganged up on by staff when a white hair was found in the food. What gets better is being told it was your hair when it's not even white!Food was palatable, lasagne was small but ok taste after a long walk.Dissapointed.

8 of us doing the Speyside Way popped in for a break and some food after walking from Boat of Garten. After 5 miles carrying 10kg on our backs, anything would do. As soon as we walked through the door, it was obvious we weren’t welcome. There was no greeting or anything, just barked instructions to register (scan the Track & Trace QR code) or we wouldn’t be served. Customer service was awful. One of our group had a rotten leaf in their salad. Large chap behind the counter came over and smelt the leaf and acknowledged it was bad. Refused to take this dish off the bill, saying ‘you lot had have been trouble since you came in’... When asked what he meant, he referred to one of the group coming in, asking if he could eat food bought from elsewhere, and then promptly leaving when he was told ‘no’. The guy behind the counter was badly presented; his tracksuit bottoms were falling down showing us more than we wanted to see, his apron wasn’t tied and was all over the food when he would bring it over and he was getting way closer than he ought to have considering social distancing. No respect for tourists, didn’t have half of the menu available (2 o clock in the afternoon) and even the young guy working there was being berated and spoken down to in the hearing of customers. Bottom line... If you want to stand in the doorway for 10 mins waiting for a table to be wiped down, Chaplin’s is for you. If you want to be stared at by large chap behind the till the whole time you eat, Chaplin’s is for you. If you want decent customer service and to eat something relatively palatable, go somewhere, anywhere else!

Dropped in for bite to eat at lunchtime on a Tues in August. Selection and service excellent, even though it was busy and SD in place. Had soup which was delicious and cinammon and fruit scones (separate) which were delicious. Would strongly recommend Chaplins if you are in Grantown on Spey for lunch. Also got discount due to Govt's "eat out" discount for August

Very welcoming cafe with plenty of options. Good baking, coffee and bacon rolls. Clean, well organised re tables and service.

Staff were very helpful and toilets were clean. Food was lovely as were the cakes. Service was quick and we all enjoyed our pit stop here.

Nice little cafe good selection of home baking nice hot latte ,clean toilets ,nice decor good place to go with friends

We came across this lovely cafe while having a wonder around Grantown-on-Spey last week and I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody that likes good fresh food served up. There were only 2 other people in when we arrived but once we’d ordered it filled up very quickly. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area

first class nothing to much bother and so helpful.Thank you all so muchI I'm sure many ladies who perhaps haven't been in Chaplin's will come in and bring there friends .we certainly when we are in Grantown again will visit again

Our second visit to this lovely little cafe on the main street in Grantown-on-Spey. We tried very hard to confuse the staff by ordering 7 different drinks with different requirements but he got it right and with a smile! Well done!

We have been to this cafe before but this time decided to try the scones. We were so glad we did as they were fantastic. The cheese ones were definitely the best I have ever tried. They are so big we didn’t need any lunch. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Grantown-on-Spey!

lovely little cafe on the high street, fantastic selection on the menu at reasonable prices - food was fantastic - very enjoyable

Came here a few times while in the area. Staff, food and atmosphere excellent. Will definitely be back, especially for the millionaire shortbread. Thanks again for your patience 😊

Stopped here for late lunch en route to Aviemore. As has been previously mentioned the scones are rather large, but wonderfully tasty when merged with excellent butter and jam. The soup of the day was absolutely delicious (chicken and rice) and ably supported by the toasties of cheese and tomato and smoked salmon sandwiches. The guys had the soup and toasties/sandwiches, the girls the scones. All washed down with beautiful tea/coffee. On a cultural note, a visit to the toilets are a must to experience the old photographs of Charlie Chaplin. Apparently he was a regular visitor to this establishment, hence the name!

Very nice tea and scones, probably the biggest scones I have ever eaten! First class friendly service and not overly expensive for a tourist town.

We went to the classic car displays all on the high street. We were famished and popped into Chaplins for lunch. Both ordered macaroni, chips, salad and veggies. YUMMY. Superb creamy cheesy macaroni. The staff are lovely too. Good sized helpings.... however, bought a couple of really huge donuts and scones for later on. Just finished them over a cup of tea. Delicious. Highly recommended.

Popped in here for ice cream as it was boiling hot outside, but decided to grab some lunch instead, we ordered baked potatoes with chicken, salad an a few chips , as the place eas packed we hada wait a few minutes but well worth it, an staff very friendly then we had our ices creams, which i have to say was the best ive had it years we'll be back

Very friendly service, enjoyed what we had to eat and drink.....nothing too fancy which suited us just fine. Would definitely reccomend it.

I went with my daughter today enjoyed our lunch went to order coffee and ice cream and the woman behind the counter huffed at the order, I replied saying don’t worry we won’t have anything , I think she was a bit embarrassed I ordered my daughters ice cream because I didn’t want it to spoil our girls afternoon out but the woman then shouted towards me well am I getting you a coffee ? I replied no. I’ve never met such a rude person and no apology after. I also saw her being rude to another couple that asked for hot water.

Unhelpful rude man serving who had attitude towards me. Spoke away nicely to the locals but clearly has some grudge against tourists. Small town mentality which is bizarre as they must rely on tourists. Coffee and food took forever to come and it’s wasnt good. I’d avoid as plenty other places to eat that are much nicer and friendly staff. We won’t be back for lunch while in g of s

We were looking for a place to have breakfast and chose to try Chaplin's which looks like an ice-cream shop. We ordered a breakfast made to our tastes. They also serve lunch. The food selection was great, nicely presented and tasty. Sondra...my husband says her name was Sarah, (so I apologize if I got your name wrong), was so pleasant. She chatted with us about the area, sights to see, etc. She made us feel right at home. The place was clean and the desserts looked delicious. It was hard not to eat the ice-cream before our eggs and sausage. Thanks for the lovely time!

Nice cafe in town centre and service was great. The only problem was that cappuccino was just terrible.

Very pleasant servers. Food was tasty and filling. Cakes looked amazing although we didn't try them because we are on a diet. Would definitely return there if we are in the area again.

Nice cafe and one of the few that allows dogs in the rear of the cafe. Friendly service and nice toastie and scones.

Where in the area and needed a dog friendly place so that we could get a cup of tea and some cake. Dogs are welcome in the back room here. The lady who runs it is very polite and welcoming and the cake was lovely.

We hadn't been back to Grantown in ages (at least 4 years, and clawed in to have afternoon tea after a business meeting. So happy to report that the Millionaire shortcake is STILL the best I've ever had. Good atmosphere, good service, good tea, good prices - what';s not to like??

Coffee break with delicious fruit loaf. Advised of good walks in Grantown where we were on a day visit and appreciated the local information.

After an early start birdwatching in the local forest, and before a terrifying prospect of a tree adventure course in the afternoon, we realised we needed a great breakfast. Chaplins is such a friendly little place on the high street. We waited whilst our epic breakfast was perfectly cooked to order. Well worth the wait ! Delicious and nicely cooked and presented. Generous portion. Highly recommended. Warm and friendly highland hospitality was really appreciated. Would love to come again when we are back in the area.

We went in as we seen a dogs welcome sign (rare to see). Dogs were allowed in a conservatory area at the back of the building. Good service, tasty food, clean premises and extensive menu. A tad pricey to be truthful but we enjoyed what we ate.

Staff were friendly and polite enough but the food and price were really disappointing. Base of the millionaire shortbread was absolutely solid couldn’t even cut through with a knife and chocolate milk shake was just watery with lumps floating around! Totally put off rest so left everything waste of money!

We had a super lunch here at Chaplins,great welcome,as soon as we arrived. Pleasant young man took our order,drinks arrived quickly,food soon after. The food was lovely, freshly cooked and prepared,really tasty. We all enjoyed it,and will certainly be back. Reasonably priced too. Well done.

Just called in for a quick bite of lunch, unfortunately quick was not a word that the staff were aware of.

Had a coffee break here while visiting the shops. We both had Americano coffees which were good, we also had a cinnamon & apple scone and a slice of lemon cake. Both the scone and the lemon cake was lovely.

Gemütliches Café mit der englandtypischen Speisekarte. Sandwiches, Baguettes, Scones etc. alles frisch zubereitet. Freundlicher Service, keine langen Wartezeiten. Wir waren schon öfter dort und können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

We were travelling round Scotland on our bike in the rain and needed somewhere to stop off for lunch.

Nipped in for ice cream and service was slow.Food ok.Choice of about ten ice creams of reasonable quality.

We had lunch here, friendly staff and decent choice of light lunches and homemade soup. We opted for a Tuna Mayo Toastie with a bowl of chips, tea for two.

Popped in for lunch while shopping in grantown on spey Had baked potato with tuna and cup of coffee Staff (husband and wife I think) were really nice people Good sized portion and really enjoyed my lunch

Wasn't very happy with it food was nice but didn't get a lot for the price was a bit disappointed been before and was a lot better

Real coffee made while you wait - hot and tasty. Check out the scones, freshly made. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for this team.. congratulations.

I've been in here a couple of times during my visits through Grantown. It is always friendly and welcoming. It has a great unpretentious menu - I have had the toasties a couple of times and they come with little potato croquettes and a nice side salad. The soup is good too.

Went in looking for a nice breakfast and wasnt dissapointed. Very friendly welcome great food served quickly. Was that good went back and had afternoon tea and home baked millionare shortcake.great chat with the staff couldve sat there all day

As stated very slow service tea and a scone took nearly 30 minutes in a nearly empty cafe. The latter were ok but butter was a miserly one pat with any extra charged! Plenty of better options in the town.

El pueblo estaba lleno, así que admito que hoy no era nuestra primera opción ya que no pude conseguir una mesa en este! Entramos y encontramos el lugar ocupado pero bien presentado en cuanto a la limpieza y obtuvo una mesa fácilmente. El lugar ofrece una selección de helados, aperitivos y comidas. Tuvimos que esperar casi 30 minutos para recibir 2 sándwiches tostados que eran nada que destacar mejor. El servicio era amable pero lento en comparación con otros lugares turísticos que hemos visitado, los precios son bastante caros. Como otros han dicho, el ambiente es escaso - que mi marido como mourge como! Un poco de charla o música de fondo no sería.

Love everything about this shop. The food and coffee were excellent. We went there twice in two days to sit and relax with a scone and coffee.

Lovely light lunch. Homemade fare. We had soup, cake and pancake with maple syrup and ice cream - see photo. A delightful stop.

Los martes por la mañana en junio, paramos en Grantown on Spey para investigar, en nuestra manera de visitar Baxters de Fochabers. Nos habíamos aparcado fuera de esta Cafetería/heladería, y decidimos ir por un café y tarta.

Fuimos para un almuerzo ligero antes de irnos a otras actividades. Nuestra orden original (eglefino y patatas fritas) se convirtió en estos momentos. Nuestra alternativa era una ensalada que no llega. Esperamos. . . . Y esperamos.. . . . . Finalmente nos fuimos. ....

Fuimos allí porque decía que tenía una heladería y me apetecía un Knickerbocker Glory. Nos sentaron enseguida y después de unos minutos la camarera vino y tomó nuestra orden. El bollo de canela vino enseguida, seguido por café unos 4 / 5 minutos más tarde. No hay indicación del helado. Mientras tanto el café comenzó a llenar y nos dimos cuenta que la gente estaba sentado esperando a ser servido y eran simplemente ignorados. Esperé unos 10 minutos para mi helado y señaló a la camarera que otras mesas estaban esperando ser servidos. Dos montones de 4 a la izquierda mientras yo estaba esperando mi Knickerbocker Glory, que era muy agradable cuando llegamos. No volveré allí ya que era lento, desorganizado y aunque había al menos 4 miembros del personal, los clientes eran completamente ignorados. Esto debería ser un éxito bien dirigido, café, ya que la comida que nos dieron era muy agradable pero sin una cierta forma de gestión se puede ver que luchando.

We stopped here for lunch, OMG, ordered a toastie and a portion of chips, took nearly an hour, the service was bad, having said that the food was okay, the basic problem was inadequate staffing.

This place has to be one of the worst i've visited, unhygienic large chap serving. We watched him wipe his hands over his sweaty forehead, then go serve a kid an ice cream cone without washing! Shudders!Looking at the menu i'd say its far from value for the price you pay!The food we were served was toasties and they were swimming with grease and had some rotten salad leaves. My other half had a scone and she said she watched it be warmed in a microwave, yet it was dry and stale! Oh and don't dare ask for more than one butter portion! They charge for this!When it came to paying, my other half voiced her polite concerns with regards to the food, which we're simply ignored. The other concern was the cash only payment, in this modern era not very convenient. When she asked for a receipt she was told the machine had ran out of paper. As this was a business lunch not very convenient again. The next day we went to Another cafe on the high street , so much better!

was in granton and it was lunch time so went in to chaplins for a coffee and light lunch was not disappointed good selection of food friendly service

Lovely place, soup of the day delicious, great coffee and hot chocolate. The perfect place to stop when you have a couple of hours to kill on a lazy day in the Highlands on holiday. The girls in the cafe were very friendly and polite. Definitely worth a visit.

We called in here for coffee one cold afternoon and were not disappointed! The coffee was good, the cafe is very clean and the young girls serving were very pleasant!

My friend And Intjought we would stop in 'Granton' for a light lunch. There's didn't seem to be many places that filled the bill however we decided to enter Chaplins. The place seemed quite busy with only a table right at the door. This proved very draughty and of course very busy with everyone coming and going. There were two young girls 'waiting' on the tables however they seemed oblivious to our entry. We sat at the draughty table for about 10 minutes and were completely ignored. Another table away from the door became vacant so we decided to move to it only to be completely ignored. We decided to get up and leave when one of the young girls decided to walk past our table and start to clear a table which had just been vacated. If you would like to be acknowledged in a coffe shop/restaurant in a reasonable time, this is not the place to visit. We were very disappointed.

Located on main road just off the Square. Had tea and sticky toffee cake, which was wonderful. Good prices. Good spot for lunch or afternoon ice cream or dessert. People were constantly coming in. Owner seemed a little stressed, but service was good. Worth a visit.

We were in Grantown visiting family so popped into Chaplins for lunch. It is principally a tea shop, with lots of cakes, and they provide light meals. I had an absolutely delicious baked potato with beans and cheese, warming fair for a cold October day. Also good toasties and soup. Great for light bites at lunch, and cooked to order.

Stopped off here for a quick bite of lunch, and so pleased to say it was still pretty much as before from years ago.We had toasties, perfectly fine and filling and on the menu listed Ice Cream Floats, which I have not had one since a child, so fabulous to taste one again. A joy to relive.Would recommend for a quick bite to any weary traveller.

Just don't go here. The ciabattas were awful. Overcooked crispy haggis. Only warm and cheese half melted. The coleslaw.....massive chunks of cabbage.The side salad, overly sweet dressing ..think it was honey and mustard.The tortillas on the side, massive grease bombs with weird seasoning.Coffee was good at least

Warm welcome. Very good selection.Accommodating to tweeking the menu item to suit preferences.Establishment gave off a comfortable feeling.Food fresh and enjoyable as was the selected drinks.

I had a lovely moist slice of the farmhouse cake, and the owner gave me the secret to achieving moist fruit cakes. My wife had the cheese on toast, which used two cheeses and made a delicious meal. Very friendly husband and wife team run the cafe, which has a quirky Charlie Chaplin link (hence the name).

Nice caked, really good coffee and friendly service - what more can you ask for ? Recommended to all.

Lovely coffee shop/eatery in the heart of Granton on Spey... friendly staff and wonderful food. We will return...

Great sandwiches cakes and coffee very nice owners who worked to give us a great lunch, the coffee was all made to perfection most excellent Latte and MochaThanks for a great experience

We visited here for lunch today. Prawn baguette and tuna sandwich followed by sticky toffee cake. Both of our lunches were excellent and the homemade nachos were brilliant. Service was super quick and all the staff were friendly. Looking forward to going back here in future.Sarah and Wilma.
