Macleans Bakery and Cafe in Highland

Amazing pies and friendly staff I'll definitely be back. I popped in for a quick bit of lunch and was really impressed with the quality of the food and customer service.

Having been a customer for approx. 10 years the standard has greatly fallen over my last 2 visits. I live 12 miles away and always visit for various things but the cafe has seriously gone downhill. Our favourite was always Coffee and Bacon rolls in the morning after shopping however the last 2 visits have seen us being served cold and burnt bacon, Today it was burnt bacon cold and bacon that I could not even chew and that was after it had been replaced. Result was both my wife and I left them on the plates and left. I am extremely sorry to post this but you need to get a grip.

Traditional Scottish bakery and cafe. Popped in mid afternoon for tea and cakes. Friendly service with little touches that show care for the customer e.g scissors to cut open these tricky little sachets of sauce (although the health and safety police might disapprove). Warm, comfortable atmosphere. Well worth dropping in or takeaway.

As their cafe does not accept dogs we opted for the takeaway and what a choice. Fine Scottish breakfast wraps with Lorne sausage Haggis beans and hash brown - amazing - and sides of tattie scones if you wanted! A tasty cake and 2 coffees and change from a tenner - what’s not to like.

Chairs falling apart and injured friend. Advised staff but not interested. Food was reheated and half order forgotten about Toilets disgusting

Popped into Macleans on a Sunday morning and had a lovely breakfast. All the staff are very attentive and when we ordered at the till we were served by a lovely lady call Mags, who was very friendly and helpful. Our cooked breakfast came quickly and were delicious. The portions were very generous, so we left there feeling very full and satisfied. Will definitely come back again.

I visited Maclean's for some takeaway lunch today and was welcomed by their delightful and friendly staff. It's been a while since I've had a fresh roll this delicious. Jane

As always the food was excellent and the range of cakes is huge. The lasagne pie and chips was had followed by a caramel eclair. Service is good and the place is modern and clean.

Lovely Bakery and superb restaurant. Lovely quality meals at very reasonable prices. Lovely Staff. Great service. There breakfast is absolutely amazing value.

DELICIOUS....and they put them aside for me... waiting for me when we arrived. THESE FOLKS ARE THOUGHTFUL.............!!!!!

Called in for a few bits , young girl serving poor attitude , pretty much threw our goods at us , no manners at all , everything seemed to be a massive problem MANNERS COST NOTHING

We popped in for lunch. Chose and we were surprised how quickly we were served. Food tasty and piping hot. Lovely selection of home bakes, though no scones. The only let down was the poor toilet facilities-not that great and hand drier broken as was paper dispenser. Need to be a lot fresher.

As I work nearby this cafe, over the years I have visited it often. Very recently they have had a "special" panini on the menu; Beef, Cheese Mustard / Onion ...wow!! Please keep this as a regular item on the menu it is a wonderful lunch.

Great food , great speedy service, home made specials … and a shop full of lovely goodies, I would suggest that a visit to Grantown wouldn’t be the same if you don’t call in at the shop or Restraunt.

Absolutely delicious. Everything was on point, cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly, helpful, and food was ready before we knew it! Perfect start for our Sunday. Cheers guys!

We always pop in here when we visit Granton. Lovely cakes and my wife was happy that they sell vegan biscuits now too (they were amazing!). Raspberry tart was great!

Had a nice bit of breakfast. The young guy serving was very friendly and took his time to answer my questions about milk in the food (I am milk intolerant). Would recommend.

We popped in for breakfast, we chose the “Speyside Breakfast” all freshly cooked and served a cappuccino. Friendly smiling staff and great food. Highly recommend

Great service and food. Cakes were delicious and mum loved the soup of the day, so much so we came on 2 consecutive days 😋

The food was pretty good actually so if were only talking about the food it would be 5 stars. However if were talking about the whole experience then I fell like 2 stars is being generous. The staff seamed more interesed in talking and having...

It was a biscof cake, didnt have much taste, The base was crumbly and didnt taste good, did not enjoy. Out of all the lovely looking cakes wish i picked another.

We walked past and noticed the queue, always a good sign! It was quite chilly so we went into the café side and I am so pleased we did. We had dinner reservations later so didn't want to eat too much so the pies and...

A nice cafe with efficient service and friendly welcome A range of cakes and snacks as well as larger meals on offer Recommended

Wouldn't trust how long the sandwiches, wraps and rolls have been sat in their fridges. Got mine home and it was rotten inside, it stunk so bad. Would never eat from there again!

Would definitely recommend to anyone passing by for a coffee and a cake, they even have special halloween cakes in at the minute, very tasty.

Excellent coffee and good fresh scones. Good choice of tray bakes and cakes. Good service and tables nice and clean.

Stopped off for breakfast. Very friendly staff and great value for money. Great breakfast. Straightforward fare. Would highly recommend.

We had a super lunch at the Maccleans bakery cafe in Grantown on Spey. All good quality foods, home made soup, excellent award winning scoth pie, good wholesome sandwich and delectable éclairs. Staff were so polite and efficient, despite being very busy looking after the...

Recommend the spey side breakfast and the lasagna pie, staff friendly and very helpful. Strawberry tarts to die for! Will be back again soon!

Went into the bakery to buy some fresh cakes and I must admit looked good. Stood at the counter for ages with no one acknowledging I was there. The guy behind me gave up and walked out, I tried several times to get staff members...

Stopped en route to elsewhere for a quick late breakfast (10am). Had sausages in a bun and coffee. All very tasty and good hot coffee. Served very quickly to our table. We were nicely asked to provide our contact details had a quick temperature check...

With the Walkers factory shop currently closed we decided to buy our shortbread gifts to take from from here, it was very busy and the shortbread is delicious. Highly recommended! Dull selection of ice creams however!

The member of staff that made the macaroni cheese today should be sacked, it was mushy overlooked and absolutely revolting, do not order this disgusting dish here, stick to there filled rolls , which are fab,.

Stopped for coffee and a snack. Lady on door was very abrupt and surly. Absolutely no atmosphere , don't understand why it was so busy.

We visited MacLeans Highland Bakery to buy gifts to take home to friends who were looking after our house and cats. We were spoilt for choice so we spent rather more than intrended. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the items bought were...

Great lunch at McLeans. Food lovely. Staff very helpful and friendly. We have gone here year after year, never disappoints

Called in here for a coffee. The selection of bakery goods was amazing, and the service really excellent. A warm welcome, taking covid safety seriously - temperature tested at the door, track and trace record taken. And yes the coffee was good.

Absolutely the best bakers shop in the highlands try the lasagna pies they are superb and value for money !!morning rolls also a winner

Good place for afternoon / tea. Nice scones. Restaurant following all Covid 19 rules. Felt comfortable sitting in restaurant.

We stayed 3 nights in Cromdale, and had breakfast here every morning. I was traveling with a group of 9 and we all always enjoyed our meal. Their coffee was also very good and the kids loved their hot chocolate.

Stopped here for a lunch on the way home from Aberdeen. The coffee shop part is clean and comfortable. I had coronation chicken sandwiches on very nice brown bread...most enjoyable. My husband had a scotch lid which he enjoyed. Gets busy at school lunchtime. Would...

Bakery and cafe. Spacious with large seating area. We had breakfast. Straightforward menu. Pleasant service. It wasn’t busy when we were there so service was quick. Toilets on same level; very clean and spacious with good baby changing facilities (I don’t need these now, but...

Just ok. Sandwiches were dry. Pastries were a bit overpriced. Was hoping it’d be a little more than what it was, more on me and expectations than reality.

We were staying in Grantown and noticed the bakery on our arrival. We went for three breakfasts - having originally intended only going for one. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and helpful. The portions are extremely generous - the rolls were filled and a bit...

We tried some typical scottish breakfast here and it was really lovely! The service was good but like in many places you have to order at the bar (as we did not realise immediately they kept us sitting there for a while). The ambiance is...

Popped in to the FORRES branch on the high street a few weeks ago and bought a scone and it was hard, small and dry. Was in again this morning to give them a second chance and it was the same again, you could’ve bounced...

Great lunch with home made food. Very friendly service with a smile which was served very efficiently once ordered. Carry-out cakes to take home were very nice. Appear to be very popular with locals too.

Dropped in for lunch during a long drive. Hard to see if it is table service or not as the 'order at counter' notice had bright light behind it. I was not greeted by any member of staff and was ignored at the ordering point for almost 5 minutes, I nearly went elsewhere, and only had my order taken when I finally managed to attract attention.The food was tasty enough, not very hot, but that meant it was quick to eat. Sadly it came with chips and a sad, boring salad that I didn't want and covered in finely diced onion, which I cannot eat. It was fun trying to remove it all.I didn't even attempt to get it heated as I needed to get back on the road.At £8 odd for black coffee and mac and cheese it was expensive for the overall experience.

Steady flow of customers suggest this is a popular and quality outlet. Home-made soups were delicious, as were the daily specials. Breakfast rolls well filled and satisfying. Home bakes and biscuits excellent.

Friendly staff & lovely choice of cakes & bakes. Stopped for a quick cuppa on a rainy day & greeted with a friendly smile

It was time for a takeaway and the chicken and haggis pie was exactly what was needed. Moist, tasty, what more can one say.

My wife and I popped in for a light lunch, the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was the best Scotch Pie we had ever tasted, the pastry was so light and the filling delicious. Finished it off with a cup of tea and a gorgeous caramel eclair.

We stopped here for a quick lunch and it didn't disappoint. Good fresh bread and good range of fresh ingredients for salads & sandwiches. The cakes were a tasty bonus too.

There was 8 of us for breakfast which our order came to over £60.... We asked for 1 simple hash brown - tomato swap on ONE of our breakfast and was told they wouldn’t do it because there is too much of a price different between the items....

I just dropped in for a quick snack of Pie,Beans & Chips. My goodness what a plateful I had. Delicious hot food served by a very pleasant waitress. I was sorry I only had time for a snack Next time I'm in Granton- on- Spey I'll have time for a proper sit down meal.

Group of cyclists doing Land’s End to John O’Groats called in today for hot food, drink, shelter from the rain and a warm-up. The staff are lovely, the food good, filling, and served very quickly, and the manager generously gave some money to the charity I’m fund-raising for (Prostate Cancer UK). Thank you from the drenched cyclists!

Quick stop off passing through. If you’re after a good pie get the Chicken & Haggis!!! You won’t be dissappointed

We dropped in here to buy sandwiches ahead of tackling the second leg of the Speyside Way, walking to Ballindalloch. Very friendly service and great value, well filled tasty sandwiches at just £2:50.

I was working nearby and started early too early for breakfast at my hotel but this little bakery was a life saver fresh bread and hot sarnies with a cuppa from half 6 every morning hats off to you ladies well done

The café is adjacent to the bakery shop, staff are welcoming and friendly, food is freshly prepared and served to your table, well worth visiting. On street parking.

Popped in for a quick takeaway breakfast. Bacon, eggs & hashbrown on a roll. Very tasty and great value. Fast friendly service.

We went here for lunch, the sandwiches were so fresh and the fillings were definitely not skimpy! Served with salad and crisps, they are ideal for hungry walkers, tourists.

Had two slices of a lemon and blueberry (odd combo) cheesecake and it was delicious. Staff were friendly.

Stayed in Grantown for 6 days and had soup for lunch at Maclean's on 4 occasions. The soup was always excellent accompanied by delicious bread. If you have the space, the cakes are very good as well.

We're on a limited menu but what they had was well served and tasty. Excellent staff who are very friendly and helpful

I travel to my daughters in Kinloss every other week and look forward to my stop off at the Highland Bakery. Great breakfast and a great cup of tea.

I pop into McLeans sometimes during the week for chip and the chips are nice 👍 nice little bakery in grantown

Regular to the bakery for breakfasts lunches teas and more.

A very clean and comfortable cafe serving a good selection of delicious sandwiches and cakes and also some tasty homemade soups. Friendly staff who offer an excellent service.

Travelled through from a village near by to get lunch in Grantown on Spey when we stumbled across this establishment. It was very busy and for a group of 6 we were very lucky to get a table as only one of them seated this amount. The food was lovely and as were the people who were serving. Service with a a mile :) definitively one of the best hot chocolates we have had as well!! Really enjoyed our visit and we will definitely be back if we are in and around the area again. Thank you!

Always call in when we are visiting in Grantown on Spey. Great for a coffee and a slice of fresh made cake. friendly staff and clean and tidy surroundings. The take away food is great and they have a great selection of scotch pies.

Definitely one of the best breakfasts I've had and my daughter agrees. My husband had a pie which he said was very tasty. Cake to die for after. Thank you for the lovely service too. Hopefully will be back.

Had a wee bit of breakfast here. Pastry and small steak pie. Pastry was very good. Coffee was very good. Steak pie was so-so. Waitstaff wear cute black and blue outfits with matching derbies. Great service.

The good thing is that Macleans Bakery is opened on Sunday, when all other restaurants were closed in tiny Grantown-on-Spey. We had a very nice soup & sandwich lunch (mushroom soup, veggie soup and two chicken salad sandwiches) for £7.50 each.

We needed a quick lunch and stopped into Macleans for a few pies. They weren't big or pricey but they were tasty. Craig's Bar serves up better but Macleans in conveniently located on High Street. And they have great baked goods for dessert.

Went to Macleans four times for breakfast and once for lunch. Breakfast was one of the best iv had. Staff wher friendly and very good. I'd give this five stars

Visited here and got some carry out cakes and bread rolls. The service was friendly and there was a good choice of cakes to choose from. The cakes we had were very good as was the white rolls.

Popped in for a coffee on a Sunday morning to be met by some of the friendliest staff we've ever come across in a bakery/coffee shop. Just a coffee became breakfast rolls and several further visits during the week we were in Grantown.

I have now visited this bakery three times in the past few weeks and each time I go, the cakes are of a great variety and great flavour. The staff are very attentive, pleasant,, courteous and serve with a smile. The coffee is excellent with a good choice. This bakery has everything and is in a good location with access to all in Grantown. Pay it a visit.

Nice bakery where you can brunch ! The staff is pleasant and the food is well cooked. We recommend you this place ! PS : Too bad they dont have fresh juices.

Had a nice roll on sauaage from the local butcher. Tea. Friendly service sat outside. Good choice of hot food. The homemade soup was great.

Old school bakery and cafe done right. Staff are helpful and very pleasant. We’ve been going here for a number of years as the food is lovely (macaroni and chips especially) there’s a lot of choice on the menu. The Coffee is also top notch (not sure why so many cafes get this bit wrong). I do enjoy looking at the art that’s always hanging on the walls (it changes often) as some of the pieces are fantastic. The bakery/cafe is testament to how things should be done and it’s obvious a lot of hard work goes in to make this the case.

Excellent choice of hot or cold food and drinks. Cakes to die for. Soup & sandwiches for carry out as well as salad boxes

Four of us stopped for a quick lunch while on a visit to one of the enarby distilleries. Nice roomy cafe with a lovely gallery of local art. We had 3 soups the lentil, tomato and basil and the thais soup all came with lovely chunky brown bread and 1 all day breakfast with a can of juice each. £20 and was lovely and tasty. The boys then had a strawberry tart each and it looked nice but one wasn't keen on the pastry case whic was a bit hard and not rich shortcrust pastry.

well....thought it would be a nice place to stop for coffee and a snack, lady who served us well would get more craic at the undertakers!! coffee was tiny and the empire biscuit was burnt, complained at end didn't really make a fuss, vertically challenged lady gave refund which am sure was not the correct price but not wanting to make a scene but rest of staff was nice

Chicken and haggis pies ..very good ! We also tried the traditional scotch pie and enjoyed those too .

Called in on a Saturday morning for breakfast while staying in the Caravan Park. Friendly staff and efficient service. Was very busy but order taken at counter and breakfast served all within twenty minutes. Food excellent. Will certainly return.

Having been out sight seeing, we needed food and drink. The coffee was first class. My wife had the homemade soup which was really tasty. I chose the Lasagne pie, which was served piping hot, what a great filling for a pie. The cafe was full ot tourists and locals and the staff were first class. Well worth a visit, their breakfasts sounded terrific.

This place was a little find. Great breakfast, kids friendly and staff were so friendly - would definitely recommend and will go again

Very pleased to find this well-run bakery open on Sunday for a lovely bowl of French onion soup and a great sandwich as we were in our walking gear. Staff very welcoming. Also we bought one of the paintings by local artists displayed on the wall!

Dropped in for a late lunch whilst in the area recently. Delicious toasted sandwiches on home made bread and cakes, all reasonably priced. Friendly staff as well so would have no hesitation in recommending the bakery.

Called in for a coffee and sandwich on my way from Inverness to Aberdeen. Good variety do sandwiches and cakes. Parking available outside, clean and welcoming place. Food was flavoursome and tasty coffee. Worth popping in when you’re in the area.

My wife and I again spent a few days in Grantown-on-Spey and visit Macleans on a number of occasions for lunch or snacks. In our experience the quality of the food is always excellent and the staff are very friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.

Bread was great but was a little disappointed with the tinned soup. Lovely warm spot on a cold day. Would recommend.

After a winter walk hot beverage and home cooking to warm you awaits. The service was excellent . Could not resist the temptation of the lovely bakes to take away. Recommend the small oatcakes,

I regurlary go to the baker to have a bite to eat with friends or family or a quick bite...

Well, I think the majority of customers pop into Macleans purely to get the banter with the staff, an excellent...

The café is within the bakery shop, great selection of cakes and scones, choice of soups and hot drinks, friendly...

In a hurry to get on the Whiskey trail so we popped in for a quick breakfast bagel. We ended...
