Discount Cofee Ltd in South Lanarkshire

Sadly the Biggar Flavour bakery shop closed on 29 June 2019. The owners continue to operate "The Orchard" next door where some of their bakery products are still made available along with jams, preserves, etc. The main difference is that they no longer provide sandwiches, ready made meals or hot savoury items.

Best afternoon tea I've had in my life.

This small café/bistro operated varying limited hours and we were never entirely sure when it would be open. They also held bookable “themed” nights offering a taste of food from differing countries on occasion. Sadly having only recently discovered their very nice coffee and cake we followed this up with a lunch visit on 30 August 2024 only to discover of their plans to close the place permanently at the end of September 2024. It’s a pity since the food we had on this occasion was very good indeed. We both had chicken skewers Morrocan style, the tender juicy chicken pieces coated in a very tasty sauce which included fruit and all accompanied with a fresh salad with a lovely dressing. A very flavoursome dish overall. We followed this up with a giant decorative pot of tea for two served in china cups and some cake. My wife selected a “Lammington” - sponge cake coated in raspberry and coconut and served with double cream, whilst I had a portion of Blueberry & Lemon Tart with double cream. My wife was very happy with her choice and I found myself almost licking the plate despite it seems having been given 2 slices of the thin light pastry tart which was oozing with a delicious topping. Total cost was a reasonable £34. The owners in our experience were friendly and chatty and are moving on to other ventures based from their home. The place was busy at our lunch visit and there was a pleasant ambiance with satisfied customers enjoying their food and drink. Seems a pity that it won't be available in future. The single unisex toilet was very well maintained.

I have to say this was one of those experiences in life where expectations got exceeded. Honestly folks best Christmas lunch I have ever had commercially, Scottish sourced meats. Scottish fish so thats a good start. The blade was cooked to unctuous rich but perfectly melt in your mouth perfection, the Turkey was moist and generous. Both accompanied by well cooked vegetables of which the 2 stars of the show where the braised carrots and the perfect Dauphinoise. Honestly so good our meal was followed with good quality deserts and a perfectly crema topped espresso. Still not finished a slate topped with hand made warn mice pies such short pastry, very good end to near perfect meal. Hats of to chefs and servers if this standard moves on as they progress we will win gold soon in the culinary events. Life long learning

First time we visited since new management took over. Will return soon! Food was excellent and the Kottu was adjusted to suit our taste, spicier than many might like. Have set a challenge for the chef to prepare next time at Sri Lankan spice levels. Would love to have the opportunity to try more such dishes!!
