Jammy Piece in Highland

Great cafe, great staff, amazing food. Love the Muirtown wrap. Well priced also.

Best meal, cup of coffee, and service that I've received in my trip all over Scotland! I was greeted by friendly staff then served the best cafe mocha I've ever had in my entire life. They have a full espresso setup and the barista has obviously acquired some skills over the years. Then I ordered the traditional Scottish breakfast, vegan style. Vegan haggis, hash browns, potato scone, vegan sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and toast. Everything on the plate was cooked well and deliciously spiced. I've never had a traditional Scottish breakfast to compare it to, but my local friends said it looked up to par! Wonderful food and wonderful service all whilst the staff was being kind and generous to an unhoused man whom they allowed to sit at a table. Well done, Jammy Piece! You're a shining light in this world.

What a lovely place to be! We had an amazing breakfast and got a great service! It isn't in the center of inverness but still worthy to visit

Scones are not as good as they used to be and definitely not freshly baked that day.

Went in twice in 1 day, after walking past everyone I was up in Inverness. Parking out front, with plenty of parking round the corner at the industrial park. Surprisingly bigger inside than you expect. Nicely decorated, with a decent menu at good prices. Cakes all look good. Tea cones in a cup and no problem getting extra hot water for a tea Jenny like me. Definitely go back. Sorry no photos.

Great 'traditional' cafe serving good food freshly made at very good prices. The hot breakfast rolls set you up for the day. Try the haggis ( with scrambled egg)... lovely.

The best little hole in the wall type place. The food and coffee was INCREDIBLE and the staff were so nice! And our dog was treated so kindly :)

Excellent breakfast very pleasant staff definitely recommend it 👍 👌

Best coffee..... Great atmosphere. Terrific Tasty Toasties Beautiful fresh cakes.

This place was wonderful! The food was great and the staff were fantastic. I am so glad we stopped here.

Waitress took our drinks order so we could view the menu...when she came back she took our food order and I noticed she didn't have a order pad with her. We saw two tables come in after us get food and we still hadn't seen our food order we called the waitress across and asked where our food was she came back and said the kitchen had lost our check...I suspect she was so busy she got sidetracked and forgot to write our order on a check....we decided to leave at this point went to pay for our drinks and were told by the chef they were on the house. So the visit wasn't a complete bust

Nice little cafe by the side of the canal. Good food and pleasant staff.

Never disappoints. First class friendly service and the food excellent and well priced.

Had the chilli here, it was lovely, the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Heard some really good opinions of here, but they had a queue out the door.

Great staff nothing too much trouble. Great food and cooked exceptionally well.

What a fabulous little cafe at the side of the Caledonian Canal. Called in to shelter from the snowstorm and was greeted by the lovely staff. Extensive breakfast and lunch menu with plenty of small plate options and home made cakes which were amazing. Full gluten free menu too. Excellent cafe all round

Lovely little spot at the end of the canal. Especially when it's cold and wet to stop by for hot drinks and a snack. 😄

A classic local cafe. A lovely place to start or complete a lovely walk along the canal, which lays right outside. Arrived 20 mins before closing, but they still knocked me up a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Very friendly, polite,and attentive staff. Dogs welcome.

Absolutely fantastic! We found Jammy Piece completely by accident on the way back from the Craig Phadrig walk and we're so glad we did! Tasty food (we had the macaroni cheese and the Yorkshire wrap), good prices and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly. Would recommend!

Fantastic vegetarian food we had here.

Quaint little cafe located on the Caledonian Canal. Great hearty breakfast served with a smile.

Wonderful atmosphere. Very efficient staff. Great selection. Great value. And they let in dogs 🐕. What more could you want,

A lovely cafe to visit for a relaxing catch-up with friends. The staff are lovely. Very pleasant and attentive.

We came in today 17th November 2023 on a busy lunch,we were seated straight away and given menu’s to look through. I chose a black americano coffee and my wife had a mocha both arrived quickly and were delicious I believe they are Inverness coffee company. For food I ordered the beef muirtown wrap and my wife had the soup which was leek and potato both were served quickly and piping hot perfect for a cold day. The gravy that came with the wrap was possibly the best gravy I’ve ever tasted it actually had pieces of beef in it. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be returning when in the area again. 5 stars

Great lunch stop by the canal - homemade lasagne and chicken hotpot. Tasty and filling. Nice coffees and cake too. Scones looked fabulous but we were too full to have room for one. Friendly staff and dogs welcomed indoors. Busy with locals and visitors.

Great food, friendly and the dog was welcome.

Very average breakfast, expensive for what it was. Have had better elsewhere. A cold wet Sunday and the door was open, we were cold during our visit. For the price paying you would expect it to be cooked to order, sadly it is not. We could see the kitchen and everything was precooked. Very disappointing. Only cooked ingredients were the fried egg and toast.

Didn't realise this cafe existed until a friend recommended it. Soups and bread/cheese scone for an early lunch with hot chocolates. Everything was delicious, portion sizes are generous. The hot chocolates were lovely. Took some scones home and the blueberry was the best scone I have ever had! Will definitely be back 👍🏼

Best breakfast in Inverness. Located by the locks. Wonderful food, attentive staff and service. Very friendly and homey. Highly recommended.

Terrible full breakfast, GREAT scones! Better to take the scones home and warm them up though

Great food... lovely friendly service... definitely recommend.

Very kind service. The carrot cake and coffee were great. We popped in to escape the rain while walking along the canal.

Too much 'big' furniture - feels quite crowded

A very nice local place. The nachos a highlight.

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Der Ort ist sehr beliebt, also schnell voll. Hunde sind willkommen, allerdings wird kein Wasser gebracht. Wir hätten wohl etwas von der Hunde Menükarte bestellen müssen.

Tea room le long du canal Calédonien. Nous avons pu prendre un scone et un café à l’extérieur.

Nice menu including children's. Had to wait for the food but it was worth it. Located next to the canal, great atmosphere, can sit in or outside.

The most amazing blueberry scones 😋

Great coffee, lovely staff and yummy cakes

Just what we needed after a long walk along the Caledonian canal, great coffee with the largest fruit scone I think I have ever eaten! Outside seating watching the boats go through the locks.

This place is great. The food is fresh and tasty. The people really friendly. And great value for money. And the placement great for any part of a walk/hike. Maybe the whipped cream with the scone could be substituted with clodded. That won't make me give less than 5 stars though.

Stopped by before heading back home to England. Absolutely lovely little café, great food and friendly staff made me and my doggo feel right at home. Definitely recommend 👍

Friendly staff and tasty food... Huge scones and a good selection of cakes. Well worth a visit.

Hier zu frühstücken, ist ein Erlebnis! Die Scones, das Rührei, der Tee. Alles perfekt! Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch!

I accidentally put a bad review thinking it was just eat! Jammy piece is not at fault. Quality of food is always at a excellent standard. Staff are realy friendly.

We stopped at Jammy Piece for breakfast before heading out on the NC 500 with our dog Murphy. Everybody was really friendly and accommodating with our big dog and even gave us a heads up when two other dogs came in. Appreciated this so much! The breakfast and coffee were great and the scones fantastic. Even Murphy was treated with some biscuits and lots of love. If its a nice day, you can also sit outside overlooking the ships that pass by.

Food was amazing but waitresses were a little slow 🐌

Excellente petite halte en face des écluses. Leur spécialité est le scone. Absolument délicieux. Cappuccino très bien réalisé. Prix super abordable. Service très sympa. Un excellent moment.

Perfect little cafe tucked out of the way. Was a good find for a nice hot sandwich

Gorgeous little place. The staff are very friendly and the food was delicious

Not in the center of town, but by far the best dining experience I had in Inverness. Very friendly staff, great food, and right next to the locks. The scones were as big as my face!

Great cafe, we took both our dogs in and we all were looked after with great service

A little bit pricey bur food was great

After a nice walk we sat in the car and ordered take away, jacket potato and a chicken sandwich, small portions and expensive!

I recently visited and felt the service was poor given the fact it is currently takeaway only (due to lockdown) the prices do not reflect being served through a window. The lady who served us was abrupt and was away before we had time to ask a question about our order as she called ours out and dumped it. The bread on my sandwich wasn't fresh which I'd expect given the overpriced food! I don't mind paying premium for high quality service and good food which on this occasion I did not receive.

Ambiente hogareño de las tierras altas situado en el hermoso canal de Caledonia, una excelente ubicación que ofrece comida estilo café local honesta, sabrosa y económica.Un aprobado especial para el personal muy eficiente, ¡bien hecho!Intentamos mucho, pero no pudimos comer todo el famoso desayuno escocés que era auténtico y grande.Definitivamente vale la pena una visita en mi humilde opinión

Great place with great food. Scones and soups are my favorites! Jammy Piece is a very warm place with excellent hospitality.

Después de un paseo por el canal tropezó con este acogedor café. Ambos se sientan y se llevan. Bonitas mesas afuera, sin embargo, nos sentamos adentro.El servicio y la comida fue excelente. Rollo de desayuno relleno con una excelente relación calidad-precio. El bollo de arándanos era enorme. Ambos realmente sabrosos. Una visita obligada para cualquier persona de la zona. Volveremos.

Estaba haciendo el pintoresco y apacible "Paseo por el canal del río Ness y Caledonia" con mi hijo cuando nos topamos con este café en el lado este del canal en la A 862.Tiene un almuerzo rápido de "ternera con chili con nachos" y una "envoltura de Muir", que fueron excelentes. Y rematado con café con leche. Y todo ello con un servicio atento, eficiente y con una sonrisa. Los precios también eran muy razonables. Siempre hubo un flujo constante de turistas y locales. Tenía algunas mesas afuera para tener una vista del canal. Así que ahora adelante para completar la caminata.

Popped in today for late lunch/early dinner. Had lovely cheesy macaroni and garlic bread and my husband the chilli. Really nice place. Got a lovely surprise just as we were leaving too....thank you. The scones are huge and hugely delicious too.

Me encantan los sándwiches y tostadas. Solo el del canal. El Eastgate tenía un excelente servicio al cliente. Espero en la cola sin nadie delante ni detrás. 2 miembros jóvenes del personal estaban detrás del mostrador. Uno estaba haciendo una bebida caliente que no era el problema. La otra chica estaba charlando y me ignoró. Me miraron y ella siguió charlando con su colega de trabajo. Yo estaba tan molesta. Salí del centro de Eastgate. El personal realmente necesita más formación en el centro comercial Eastgate. Era la primera vez que estaba fuera de casa durante el encierro y estaba lo suficientemente nervioso.

Jammies is my to go to place for a hearty soup very tasty my grandson had a good black pudding roll which was a very good size didn't think he would finish it but he did!!

I nipped in to the Eastgate cafe as I’d been recommended the soup here by a friend but when I arrived I saw a sign declaring them winners of the Best Macaroni Cheese in 2019. Being a macaroni lover I couldn’t order anything else!It arrived fairly quickly, and it did not disappoint. Absolutely agree this was the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever had! And the cheesy topper was inspired! I’ll be back. Again and again!

Small choice of main dishes both served in huge Yorkshire puddings.One with beef , haggis, red cabbage, roast potatoes and incredibly salty gravy.Only one small slice beef though.The other one was Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire pud.The staff though are wonderful and very cheery.Would I go back?? Probably not for an evening meal but certainly for breakfast or even just a coffee.

Dropped in to fill my water bottle while on a run and was welcomed by friendly staff only too happy to help, grabbed a coffee when I was done. I then nipped in last Friday at lunchtime and had a takeaway , coffee, BLT and a flapjack which were all fab and a decent price. Staff once again were friendly and welcoming. I wasn’t sure how busy they’d be as I’ve always questioned where they’re situated but the place was heaving . I think the authentic crockery is a nice wee touch.

First time visiting the Jammy piece yesteesay for lunch. The soup and mac n cheese were fantastic. Had a wee bit of a wait for the food but the quality made up for it. Staff were really friendly and the price very decent. Added bonus that they allow dogs! Looking forward to getting to visit again sometime.

My wife suggested here for a quick lunch. And I was very pleased with the results. The menu is neat but covers a few choices for everyone. She had proper home made soup unlike a number of well known Inverness restaurants which only use tin soup dressed up under a big price. An excellent sandwich without loads of unnecessary salad ESPECIALLY out of season greens. I chose a very simple baked potato with mince, accompanied with the most delicious white pudding. Great to see such simple ideas back on a menu. Unfortunately it is not table service which means ordering and paying prior to eating but this also means quicker service and table through put. Only minor blemish was the poor appearance of the outside door which has badly flaking paint in an unflattering and unwelcoming colour. Please make it warmer and appealing and this would be brilliant.

We have passed the cafe on the canal road a few times and as we were on holiday decided to drop in. Ordered a pot of tea (apparently it’s only cups they do) cup of tea put in front of us and had a half cupOf hot water and a half portion of milk to do two folk I had a coffee Just asked for a normal coffee.. Asked for more milk got the impression we were asking for the keys to the cafe. Cakes where unfortunately not up to much and £9 later.. so other customers who wanted to get a cup of tea ohh they do pots of tea after all but only by the looks of it if your more than one wanting a pot! So after the expensive half cup of hot water and tea bag we both agreed not value for money... my advice if your charging for hot water at least give customers a pot.. will we back? Likely not sorry very poor service and poor value for money..

We loved that this has a community feel to the place and that dogs are allowed what was quite annoying on the day was a lady with her dog on a lead sitting one end of cafe and her dog walking around the cafe. Twice ladies that work there were getting caught up in the lead! This is an accident waiting to happen! The food is brilliant very delicious and just very tasty no faults there would highly recommend I just would watch with leads on dogs etc try to control them.

Fantastic little cafe beside the Caledonian canal.Very small but full in contents.called at lunch for beautiful bowl of split pea soup,hubby had bacon roll with three & half rashers ! Staff so pleasant very helpful,husband in wheelchair,made table to accommodate. Dog friendly too which is great.Cakes are huge and beautiful,do take away also. Definitely be back

Fantastic breakfast served here the Black pudding is 1st class. scones and Tray-bakes are also brilliant. The cafe is dog friendly which is also A bonus, they are also catered for 😀.

We have been in here a good few times now. It's always busy which says a lot. From the usual Scone hunter brigade to families with kids. Or like us with our two hairy pals. Never had anything that was not first class. From HUGE scones, drool worthy Yorkshire pudding wrap, all day breakfast, and judging by the way our two Border Terrorists Dexter and his son Boomer wolf their pup cakes. It also gets their seal of approval. Great service from the friendly, but busy staff, and keen pricing. Will keep us coming back for more. I have now changed my dog walking route to this slightly shorter route. Rather than going in the opposite direction to Al Talla where I have had far too many disappointments. Many thanks and keep up the great work.

Popped in one rainy Monday morning after dropping my granddaughter off at school and tried their eggs again, as good as ever, very busy and rightly so, well done to the jammy piece team.

Cracking place right on the canal , only went as it was dog friendly but so glad we did. Very unassuming from the outside but the cakes , sandwiches, soups and small creative menu really delivers as it’s all about the food. Love Inverness = Love Jammy Piece.Will return for sure

Went here with family had the cooked breakfast, great quality food, fast service and was lovely fresh and hot. Scones were an absolute treat too. Will definitely be back!

What a great little spot. Super friendly staff and fabulous food. You won’t be disappointed. My favourite spot for breakfast from now on.

Stopped in past for lunch..great spot looking over the lock gates and even better can take the dog in...opted for the muirton wrap..best choice ever..slow roasted beef sausage stuffing and cabbage wrapped in a giant Yorkshire pudding and served with best gravy I’ve ever tasted ..great service friendly staff reasonably priced..only one thing wish I’d left room for a cake or scone they looked amazing scones were huge..next time though ..can’t wait to go back

Arrived here to find a fab menu and very friendly atmosphere. Ate a delicious full Scottish breakfast with both haggis and black pudding. Perfectly cooked and presented. Wasn’t able to actually eat all of it, which is unusual. Hung out there for a while waiting for more family to arrive and then had an amazing drizzle cake. Huge selection of cakes and scones.Lovely staff and lots of friends and families having a great time in there. Dogs were welcome too.

Had lunch with my daughter in your canel cafe, our first visit but wont be our last. Nice choice on menu. Great coffee. Friendly and attentive service. Great to be able to park right outside, and a wee stroll after in a beautiful setting right by the docks.

After hearing such good reports about the jammie piece I went today at the canal . Served our drinks fairly quickly and ordered our sandwiches 45 minutes later had to ask when we were getting our lunch to be told they had lost our order . I felt it was very disorganised, waiting staff didn’t seem to know what table was what . I was very disappointed paid for our drinks and left . I will be in no rush to return

Have been several times to the Jammy Piece by the Canal and it never fails to delight. The scones are amazing! The staff are delightful. It's dog friendly too and they sell these amazing 'pup cakes' for the pooches so they don't feel left out. Seats outside so that you can watch the world and boats go by. Can't recommend it enough.

Wir haben im laufe unserer Wanderung hier eine Pause gemacht und waren nicht enttäuscht. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich und das Teehaus scheint auch bei den Einheimischen eine gewisse Beliebtheit zu geniessen. Die Preise sind fair und sowohl der Tee als auch der Kaffee waren lecker. Sojamilch und veganer Kuchen sind verfügbar und auch Hunde sind wilkommen.

Visited the eastgate cafe for lunch on Monday, first time at the jammy piece, bad first impression as the tables were dirty and we were served with chipped crockery!I ordered their signature sandwich, also called the jammy piece. Was offered it toasted and thought that sounded good, the sandwich is advertised as crispy prosciutto ham with brie and red onion jam, what I actually got was some very small and very dry brown bread toast, oily prosciutto which wasn't very nice and certainly not crispy, and a tiny slither of brie, a joke of a signature dish, and at £23 for two sandwiches two drinks and two slices of cake an absolute liberty!Would not recommend it at all!

With very few options available in the Eastgate food court, we opted to try some of the food and coffees at Jammy Piece on a quiet Saturday. Even though I was very tempted to stuff the delicious looking cakes in my face having just left the gym, I had some restraint and picked one of their sandwiches. I was admittedly surprised at their different options for fillings - compared to the typical fare - so picked the "Taste of Asia" sandwich. Chicken, coriander, peppers, satay sauce and crispy noodles. I also had it toasted. It was a solid sandwich! A little sweet, some very mild spice, but I think the lack of crispy noodles (ommited) was needed. I was happily munching away until I had the second half, which was blighted by tiny bones (intially thought to be the missing noodles). After picking them out of my craw, I happily finished the rest of the sandwich.The other two in my group were pleased with their choices - half and half sandwiches of the Taste of Asia and a Mediterranean mix. Overall, I'd probably go again but this time for the cakes.

Me and my friend had lunch today in jammy and it was stunning! For a long time I didn't got coffee made so well... Well done. Cappuccino foam and latte one was very well done. I had salmon sandwich and my friend had salad,both very fresh and delicious. Highly recommended

I popped into the jammy piece with my twelve week old puppy , we couldn’t have had a better reception. The staff are very friendly and attentive, combined with a delicious coffee and scone , we will definitely be regulars. Well done .

Perfect for a quick bite or tea and the most amazing cakes after a walk with the dogs. Seating outside so the dogs can join you for a freshly baked doggy cake too.

I was put off with the name of this cafe. Sounded like a one man mobile kiosk! Completely mistaken. Staff extremely friendly and cake and coffee where delicious. Lovely cafe and great cakes and excellent coffee. Excellent home made scones. Really pleased we went there. Much better than costa and Starbucks. Thank you ladies.

Been hearing about this place so I took my mum and wasn't disappointed. We had jacket potato with chicken tikka and it was the best baked potato we have tasted so soft. There was a balsamic dressing with the salad with it. We washed it down with a cup of tea. Loved the teapot . Great service quick and will pass it onto family and friends as it was good all round. Thank you.

We were recommended Jammy Piece as we were passing through Inverness a few weeks ago so we dropped by. My scrambled egg breakfast was great and the staff were friendly, but the state of our table was not so great. The table itself was not very clean and I had to get the staffs attention for some cutlery which I thought would’ve been there already considering it seemed like it had just opened.

Lovely wee cafe. Great value food. Clean, well run with really pleasant staff. Would highly recommend this cafe. Ticks all the boxes. Big thumbs up to all the lovely staff.

Had a lovely lunch here earlier today with one of the highlights being it is dog friendly, even going as far as to provide a pupcake for the dog and he absolutely loved it. Will definitely return when back in the area.

Great little cafe. Happy, comfortable and not too big, with excellent staff and a menu for everyone.

This is not a one off review of the JP, as we visit their frequently! The sort of wholesome food that warms your insides and fills you up nicely! Also dogs are welcome and atmosphere is warm positive vibes and the food really is excellent value for the money. Can not recommend highly enough!

Visited on recent trip north and I am slightly confused. I found the service to be very friendly and efficient, the food was nice and value for money. Thus all in all a nice place, very much worth visiting, and yet? I really don't know, but for some reason it just didn't quiet work for me. Perhaps during the summer, sitting outside watching the boast go by on the Caledonian Canal would be lovely. Maybe it was just me on the day.Would I try again, yes. Am I planning to rush back, no. I certainly would advise that if you're in the area give it a try. It's a bit quirky and maybe for me the quirks in this place just don't work.

We found this little gem on a walk from Inverness Centre along the Caledonia Canal. By the time we reached the cafe we were ready for our morning coffee and we were not disappointed. The cheese scones were absolutely delicious, as was the jammy flapjack traybake and the cappuccino was made exactly to our liking.

Passed this cafe a few times. Very pleased we went there. Good plate of home made soup and lovely home made scones. Nice selection of cakes. Staff very friendly and dogs welcome. Will return.

Wow what a lovely dog friendly cafe this is. The cheese scones are to die for, just gorgeous. We had coffees and cheese scones sat with our lovely dog in the warm and dry brilliant thank you. The cafe is in a lovely spot at the side of the swing bridge and a welcome break after walking over the nature reserve from South Kessock. Staff very friendly too.

Whether it is the small cafe beside the canal or the counter in the Eastgate Mall, you can be guaranteed an excellent cup of coffee at the Jammy Piece.
