Cobbs Cafe in Highland

The most disappointing coffee I have ever had. Watery, Luke warm and tasted mildly of someone else’s hot chocolate. Yes it was busy but clearly the staff were cutting corners and rushing them out. Clean your coffee machine. Put in new grounds. Steam your milk for enough time to actually heat it up.

Up from Glasgow for a break. Nice cafe run by nice people. Support your local business. This is one of them.

I've recently moved to Aviemore and have been visiting the local cafes to find the ones I would like to visit on a regular basis. Tried Cobbs twice and it definitely won't be one I will be going back to. Plus Points:- Good location in centre of Aviemore Opens 7.30am Minus Points:- Average coffee Bored staff Dismal and depressing decor Large TV blaring Shame, as it could be a great wee cafe having a dual aspect and good location. But it felt like they're relying on tourists coming in once and not returning. They could take a leaf out of Ryvoan Cafe which is superior in every way.

Arrived later in the day after a walk around 2.45pm. Checked online and there was nothing to say anything about not serving food other than it’s take away after 3.30pm. When we ordered bacon rolls we were told it was too late to order breakfast food. Nothing on the menu to say this. After ordering toasties, they came out far too quickly with the cheese not melted and tasting of rubber. We felt like an inconvenience and the staff just wanted to close the kitchen. They have also put in new benches which are not comfy and there were several older ladies in for a coffee who were struggling with them.

Not friendly at all. Food’s good tho.

Good coffee and cake in dog friendly cafe when passing through. Busy but service was quick. Upstairs for loo if needed. Could see other diners having meals and all looked good.

Friendly staff, really reasonably priced menu and decent coffee. Looks small but has more seating upstairs. Dogs allowed downstairs and there is seating outside too.

A warm welcome and excellent levels of service, very accommodating with our dietary requests, would certainly recommend

Friendly and courteous staff. Food tasty snd generous potions. Best thing was dog friendly, she was happy with her biscuits!! Thank you x

Place is Ace, good food, cheap, and awesome coffee, plus employees are nice and kind ❤️

Very tasty bacon filled rolls, we opted to double up well worth it.

Came here following a chilly swim in Loch Morlich on Christmas Eve! Delicious latte and aero hot chocolate! Very very tasty bacon/turkey/brie/cranberry paninis from the Christmas menu (one of the best paninis we have ever had)! Lovely cake to finish! Will be back! Thank you and Happy Christmas!

I stopped here twice in the past month and the food is very good. I had a bacon roll and coffee breakfast and a Cheese and ham toastie with salad lunch on the second occasion. The ingredients are all top quality, carefully prepared and skilfully cooked.

Just going to call this place over the handling/storage of their food. I ordered 2 x tuna salad rolls today...the salad was cold (so had been refrigerated) but the lettuce was limp and slightly discoloured...certainly not fresh. I was happy enough with that BUT the tuna was look warm! Obviously not refrigerated and I suffered later that day...I wasn't actually sick thankfully but sweating and not feeling great at all...all I could think about was that warm tuna...the only thing I'd eaten all day so I'm absolutely certain, the food was to blame.

Aviemore is looking sad and tired and sorely lacking decent places to stop for food. Cobbs fills that gap, you get a really nice panini with a lovely salad but £7.95 , ouch. It really needs an overhaul and brightening up but there is not excuse for the tables being dirty. We ate upstairs and ended up getting spray and cloths off the trolley and cleaning the table ourselves before the food came. We did get a free re-fill on a drink however which was nice. Come on Cobbs, you could be so much nicer with a lick of paint and a better cleaning routine!!

Reheated expensive breakfast not good for tourism

1- The staff were rude and blunt, except one or two of the younger ones working there. When asking questions about the food they replied as if we were stupid. 2- It’s not very clean, the tables were sticky and had crumbs on them, even after a tiny wipe they were of course still sticky. 3- The pre-packaged food like the empire biscuits and ice cream are lovely, but made in a factory or bakery somewhere else. The hot food we ordered was warm-ish and lacked flavour. The coffee was bitter yet very bland and watery. However they sell drinks like coke and Fanta which are nice

What a little gem 💎 such friendly and helpful staff,the choice of food is fantastic.to be honest you would be missing out if you don't try this cafe. Thanks for a great meal 😋

Visited here today in a small group whilst travelling back to England. We were very pleased with the variety of food on offer - great quality and a good portion size for the price - and the excellent service that came with it too! The lady who served us at the till was so lovely, the food came out quick and she made sure everything was as we'd hoped for. She even gave us a cake to leave with. Would definitely visit again! Thank you!

A very good place to eat with visiting

Food average. Presentation poor. Service mixed. Aviemore is sadly lacking choice on a Sunday morning. Won't be hurrying back to Cobb's.

Great breakfast and nice friendly staff

Food was well cooked and service was good. Great place for a fry up, but didn’t try the other options

Went into another cafe nearby and the male person behind the counter saw us take a seat having removed our coats and join friends. Went to the counter to be told he was not serving new customers. Just nearby we were looking at Cobbs and a lady staff member opened the door and invited us inside. Usual cafe and must admit the young lady behind the counter looked like she wished to be somewhere else. Our drinks arrived quickly and were good and shortly after my cheese and red onion sandwich arrived. This was large with a side portion of salad and thin fries which was more than adequet, Very good cafe type food and drink.

Had the kid's breakfast -- just the perfect portion for me. Friendly staff and good service :)

Lovely relaxed cafe with great coffee and reasonable prices. Extraordinarily great staff!

We were in town for a week, came here three times! If you are having an active day, soup and a sandwich will sort you right out. Fresh, clean food that will keep you going. We even came on the last day for the breakfast. Pancakes and bacon? Sold

Full breakfast was so so, all precooked except the eggs and maybe the toast. Two of us sat at a table for four, another couple sat at the spare seats. When our food came, the server just reached over the table between the other couple to hand over our plates instead of going around and serving from behind us. HOW RUDE!! I felt I had to apologise to the customers sitting beside us. I won't go back. Only good thing I have to say is their coffee is good.

Had a very nice baguette with chicken, salad and crisps for a very fair price. Clean place, fine service.

The roll sausage was really good, the mocha was mediocre, The manners and communication from the staff was atrocious.

Great tasting breakfast bap. The Lorne Sausage was fantastic. Outside seating in Aviemore just gives you the chance to take the village (and the weather) all in.

Lovely warm friendly greeting on arrival, clean tables. We ordered Scottish breakfast ( for lunch) and goats cheese and chutney baguette. They arrived in good time freshly cooked fresh ingredients that were really tasty. They also offer a wide range of choice including vegan and vegetarian and cakes. Worth a visit

Although I arrived at 09:30 and there was a Queue, this demonstrates that it must be good and it was. The queue disappeared rapidly and food appeared rapidly delicious 😋😋

Good we looked at the menu on the st. I'm gluten free, they were very accommodating and gave me a great gf free breakfast. Would highly recommend if you are in the area

Incredible special: homemade soup, salad, crisps, a croque monsieur and cake. We waddled out at closing time (4pm) and didn't need an evening meal.

Visited yesterday, homemade soup was lovely but really think the takeaway food that does not require table service, cutlery etc should be more reasonably priced. Paid £4.95 for a small takeaway coffee cup of soup, with a very thin slice of basic supermarket bread. I think £3 maximum for a takeaway soup, was a bit disappointed with that but the food itself was nice.

Grubby place. Dirty tables. Terrible service. Poor quality badly cooked food. Would not recommend or return.

Very dated,dirty and staff could be done with some training.

Ordered a latte and tea which were lovely also a piece of toffee cake which was delicious and got quite a big piece not too pricey..definitely recommend visiting if your Aviemore

Un café qui ouvre plus tôt que les autres. Scottich breakfast plutôt bon. Une belle découverte. Un bon café

Good bacon roll.....nothing more to be said!

Fantastic coffee - best coffee in Aviemore, in fact one of the best coffees I’ve ever had anywhere! Lovely very young lad brought our drinks to us - very impressive customer service from such a young person!

Lovley wee place soup was great coffee was very good and staff were lovely see you next time we are in Aviemore

I can't rate this place highly enough. Great food. Outstanding black pudding. Friendly staff. Great prices.

An honest cafe serving a delicious breakfast. It isn't fancy but it is tasty! Breakfast rolls are great value and a wonderful antidote after a night of whisky!

Great to see that they are open early. Unfortunately, we ordered coffee and filled rolls for an impromptu breakfast. Coffee was really bad, burnt with a definite machine quality, rolls were dry and we were placed in a table in a corner with no windows, and it felt like a walk-in cupboard....the cafe really needs to improve its customer experience....

The scones and pancakes are delicious and the coffee is very good! Definitely recommend.

Popped in for 2 coffee's to go before a trip on the steam train at 10:30, you have to be at the train (10:20), placed my order just after 10, by 10:17 when I had to run to the train station they still hadn't started making my coffee's. During my wait a seated customer asked when his rolls would be ready, he was told by a waitress it would be a couple of minutes before she returned behind the counter to say, "there's a guy moaning about his rolls" not to anyone in particular but loud enough for us and the staff to hear.

Great for an early morning 🌄 stop over

Just had tea, coffee and a cake, with my wife. Good service, friendly staff. Our second visit this week.

This was a perfect stop! The food was delicious, it was an incredible price, and the service was excellent!

We thought this was going to be a nice popular cafe so we popped in for coffee and cake. The staff were ok but when ordering at the till another couple complained about the waitress spilling their coffee over the table which hadn’t been cleaned...

Friendly staff, reasonable coffee and price.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Had the Bacon and Cheese Croissant and I didn't expect to get a side salad and chips! Really good and the prices are excellent!

Yummy butternut squash and sweet potato soup, delicious sandwiches and scrumptious scones!!

Nice wee cafe with great service. However the breakfast rolls had no butter on then and the bacon was unsmoked and under cooked. That being said the over all experience and other breakfast items were good and if a high standard.

Stopped into aviemore for some breakfast e route up north. This place offers everything you could possibly imagine! Wonderful food excellent service great value for money! May look busy but there’s additional seating upstairs’

Poor service, dry scone, avoid.

Zu viel Fertigprodukte aus der Dose, wenig delikat.

Excellent food with amazing prices! We came here over the course of two days: one for a quick drink and a snack and the second day we came for breakfast. The staff were always welcoming, greeting us as we walked in the door. They always...

Excellent meal from the specials board, soup, panni,salad with crisps followed by a cake of your choice, great value. Staff are very attentive, premises are clean and well kept.

Great little cafe, very busy when we came but the staff seemed used to it and handled the crowd very efficiently. The food was absolutely amazing and the coffee was good.

A bit of a mixed experience. Food was nice, service from a young man who I believe was called Mark was fabulous! He was very friendly and welcoming. However, a young woman was being quite snippy and rude towards him, which left a really unpleasant...

The girl on the coffees at breakfast time around half 10 today was very rude there is no need when mistakes are made it happens no need to be that rude to a customer she’s needing paid off but the young guy that brings the food out was really nice and helpful and the breakfast was really good but staff like that ruined it before we even got it we wanted to leave

Most of the staff were rude and looked miserable. The food was OK but nothing above average. The Coffee was pretty bitter and had more foam than coffee which to be honest can be quite nice but not when you want coffee when it’s cold...

Nice little cafe with a good range of selection. The breakfast was great and staff are friendly.

Stopped over for brunch. Ordered a vegetarian breakfast and full English breakfast. We sat at the first table inside the cafe. Food arrived and did not look great. The food was piled high on each plate and mine - the vegetarian has two eggs which someone has already described as 'hockey pucks' as they did not look like normal fried eggs. The mushrooms and peppers were piled on and just looked as if the whole plate had been microwaved as nothing looked normal. Also there was steam coming off the food. It was so bad that I couldn't eat it and had the toast and tea that came with. I did go up to the counter when we were leaving as I wanted to know how the food was cooked. The cook showed me a type of pan that the eggs are done in and still don't know how they were cooked as it wasn't a frying pan. If you want good nutritious food and you want to enjoy your meals - this isn't a place I would recommend. Hopefully the owners see this review and take action. PS. the photos on google of this place are not the same - the cafe is much more well worn and needing a paint job.

Before we set off for our mini break I researched places in Aviemore for breakfast and came across Cobbs. Due to things we had planned for our trip we needed somewhere that could provide breakfast before 9am, and Cobbs opening times ensured this was the place to go. Let's just say it was a good choice. We had breakfast here every morning of our trip. The food was great, just what you need when you have a full day ahead of you. Reasonably priced and good quality. Especially loved the lorne sausage and the popcorn slice that my partner had to get twice (one of which to take back home to enjoy after our over 8 hour journey ahead) The staff were very friendly, which is always a credit to an establishment. We chose to sit downstairs every day but there is seating upstairs, which includes some comfy looking sofas. Overall a great place to go!

Tomorrow will be the third full Scottish breakfast my other half and I will have had in 3 days. If you go anywhere else then I hope you learn from your mistakes, this breakfast is to die for!!!

Good service , clean, but greasy & poor quality breakfast.

Leider kein Flair und Kuchen war auch nix.

The cutlery was dirty as was the cutlery tray, there was no toilet paper in the woman’s toilet, the staff all looked miserable. The tray bakes are from frozen - it was bizarre they had tray bakes on display and when I chose one they...

Surprisingly easy to get gluten free food! We tried another cafe first which had good reviews, but when we visited they didn't seem to know what gluten free meant. So instead we came to Cobbs cafe and weren't disappointed! Staff were very knowledgeable about gluten...

Amazing wee cafe on the main street of aviemore. Busy but staff coping admirably still very polite and helpful. There is exterior seating which is covered, which was great for us as we had the dog with us. Food was fantastic, we had a panini and a toastie both came with chips and were delicious. Prices very reasonable, well worth dropping by when in the area for lunch.

Great place to eat great atmosphere 👌

Fermati per una colazione veloce. Siamo stati sopra perché era tutto occupato sotto e fuori. Il personale era gentile. Un servizio super veloce. Scottish Breakfast ok invece a mia figlia il suo panino non è piaciuto.

Lovely service..good portion size at reasonable cost...clean loos

Lacking the simple basics on how to run a cafe. After ordering got told not asked to wait outside for it in the cold when others were allowed to wait inside, if there isn’t room, at least ask if we don’t mind waiting outside. Not...

Food was pretty good but the wait was very long and some of the cups and cutlery was dirty. Might have came on a bad day

Lovely place, coffee n scone delicious. Service really friendly, especially from the young lad 👦

Just had a great breakfast there - it was just want I needed. You can always test the metal of a place when something goes wrong and a VERY small problem/misunderstanding with the bill was sorted out very quickly hence a 5 star review.

We found this lovely cafe, really friendly staff.great food and hot.would really recommend going there.very accomadating would have liked to tried the cakes but after breakfast we couldnt eat any more.we didnt want some things on the breakfast but were able to swap it for other things we did want at no extra cost great idea will be going back

Was staying over in Aviemore for the weekend and saw they had a Cobb's cafe. We used to have one in Elgin which was very good. This one was good too with lovely hot breakfast, tea and toast. Went back two more times over the weekend. Nice friendly staff. The young boy who was cleaning the tables was very fastidious and didn't just give a quick dite with a cloot ☺️

Bardzo dobre śniadanie szkockie,kawa wyśmienita.Polecam

I appreciate that this cafe opens at 7.30am, so by 3.30 the staff have put in a good shift. However closing time is 4.00pm and I didn’t like the vigorous clearing up going on all around us as we tried to finish what we had...

Sorry about this but coffee was good but the cakes were completely dried out, icing on cakes was really dry.

Delicious food, quickly served. Kind and professional staff. Good prices.

For some reason the 2 ladies behind the counter took a dislike to my wife and I. Plenty of other places to eat in Aviemore 😁

Pricy for what you get. 8oz ladle of soup, 2 slices of bread, cheese and ham toastie £10.50

This place represents great value for money. Good food at reasonable prices

Great service and the bacon, pancakes and maple syrup are really good. The cafe is clean , friendly and the service is very quick

Visit 1: Understaffed. There were tables of left plates everywhere and I offered to help clear up. We could only find 1 place to sit that wasn’t a mess. Visit 2: there were tables of plates etc everywhere with all sorts of muck about outside....

The food was awful the cake was stale and the staff were abrupt almost rude.

Very Poor service, orderd 4 breakfasts 2 were eaten before the other 2 arrived, when the other 2 finally arrived, they were like they had been sat on the side and then re-heated, Sausage and bacon was like chewing cardboard, mushrooms were missing, For the price we all were disappointed, Place seemed to be run by children with no clue. The general hygiene of the establishment was pretty poor. Wouldn't recommend.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Will visit again 👍

Went there to have a coffee at 15.15. A member of staff was sweeping the floor and wiping tables as if they were about to close. We were told that there was only one table available which was at the door. We declined and walked out. It was obvious they didn't want us to stay. The place didnt close until 16.00. Customer service 0

Stopped in past for a quick lunch. Soup was lovely, and scone was warmed though. my friend had a baked potato with tuna and the plate was loaded with filling and salad with extra crisps on the side.

Super cosy, great food and drink, plenty of room for us and absolute no waiting time. Spot on.

Great service and great food, even early in the morning! Full Scottish breakfast was perfect to start the day.
