Excellent as usual though due to family commitments, haven't been for some time. Friendly accommodating staff hot food available. No dogs inside but outside tables and chairs, weather permitting. Once you've eaten a brisk 3 mile walk around the loch. What's not to like.

What a great wee coffee shop. Perfect for a lunch …I had mushroom melt with Gouda and red onion on ciabatta with salad & coleslaw. My wife had her fav bacon Brie and cranberry toastie . I gave the dirty chai a go and wasn’t disappointed it was lovely. Great service and friendly Thanks girls !!

We dropped in after a walk round part of Gartmorn Dam. The café is fairly small but very nice with a good range of food on the menu and including a children's menu. The staff were very pleasant and the food we had was of excellent quality. I can recommend a visit to Gartmorn Dam and visiting this café at the end of your walk would round it off nicely.

Visited on Wednesday 7th July ordered tea coffee and sandwiches. When young girl brought our drinks over she lifted my cup with her hand fully over the top and also my husband’s instead of using handles in current pandemic I would have thought staff would have more idea then when our sandwiches came my husbands was completely different from the one he ordered very disappointed on this occasion

Can't beat the all day breakfast and a great walk on the doorstep to work it off. Includes tea/coffee and toast. If that's not enough there's a great selection of cakes too.

Went for a late breakfast and had missed the breakfast time cut off but they said it was fine. They accommodated my children’s requests too. Food was hot and tasty and hit the spot. Well priced compared to some other local cafes. The takeaway from passing walkers/bikers was bustling. Will definitely return. Only small thing was the tattie scones weren’t the best but everything else was great.

Waited 45 minutes for our food, two ingredients listed on the menu are missing on each of our breakfasts - we weren’t told that they will be missing items, we weren’t given extras to compensate for the missing items, one of my sausages was a different colour inside than the other one - assuming it was undercooked as it was more pink, and there was not enough cutlery to use either. One man cooking everyone’s food on a Sunday Morning is not okay. The staff would have known about the delays and could have told us at ordering that there is long waits, so we could have got something else to eat and not waste our time. And also inform us about the missing items and maybe compensate for those too
