Old Post Office Cafe Gallery in Highland

Fantastic food/ setting and with really pleasant staff, who are dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend…will be back!

Great food for a light lunch, great service- but all a touch expensive.

Without a doubt the best cafe in the area. The food is fresh and the team all lovely and always happy to help. Good gluten free options too and they go the extra mile, not just your usual choices. Always a nice atmosphere and the attention to detail is first class. 😄 ⭐️

Lovely place. We went for lunch and had soup and a gluten free wrap. Is not so big so you can be unlucky and not find a table. Is also a perfect place to go for a cup of tea and a nice cake or biscuit.

You won't find better sandwiches anywhere else. Wow. Arran smoked cheddar is fantastic on their malted barley bread, and the thai chicken soup was a big hit. We came for breakfast (which they don't really do) but we left very happy with our early lunch. Great job.

Was recommended this place for a lunch stop on our way north, it did not disappoint. Food was delicious in a gorgeous location

Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere, and very professional service. So tidy and well kept. Cakes are outstanding 👌 also we had the most delicious focaccia 👏

Idyllic place with great food and a lovely host. Took time to talk with us, gave great advice for food and everyone there seems to love to work there. Great place to visit!

Excellent. So cosy Really great fresh food Great local beer - we tried 3 Cairngorm brewery beers. All great! Best service in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wonderful place, delicious coffee and food! We will definetly come back!

This is the gold standard in highland hospitality. Food is excellent, made with fresh and local ingredients. The welcome and care offered by the staff also excellent.

This is the loveliest little cafe. The food is amazing with great gluten free options. I’ll be dreaming about their prosciutto wrap for months! Their coffee and pastries are also very good, and the artist’s work they are displaying is just stunning. The staff were so warm and welcoming and kind. 10/10 would recommend

This is such a lovely spot to visit. I had a very well made flat white and also an insanely tasty millionaire shortbread. The art on the walls that you can buy gives it a special touch.

Love this place. The food is amazing with lots of different flavours and the staff are very friendly. The coffee is Italian but made with a Scottish twist, just divine. The place is very cozy and has a beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely be back to this one.

Arty Farty menu. What is so wrong with simple sandwiches.

It is a cute spot, but extremely overpriced for what I got (bagel with beetroot and goatcheese) -- sample of one. They also forgot my order, but I understand that happens.

Most definitely, the best coffee in the UK, delicious sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and scones. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Probably a very good reason to arrive to the area.

We’ve passed by here a few times but today stopped. What a gem! We had terrific coffee and bagels - goat cheese and beetroot and hot smoked salmon. Took a cinnamon bun away for later. There’s a small car park, seating inside and out and the owner art on display. The place has a fabulous vibe. Loved the post box toppers!

Had a lovely coffee and vegan cake here this morning. A very friendly and welcoming cafe, tasty coffee and home baking 😃 The cafe sells some attractive craft and art works from local designers and dogs are welcome but are outside on the decking 😊

The old post office in Kincraig .. it’s an oasis in the Cairngorms. The people are lovely, it serves great food (scones for me in the morning but others swear by the cinnamon buns), with some fab soups and specials at lunchtime. Been in a lot since it opened a few years ago and it’s been a fantastic addition to the area

Excellent late lunch, can't wait to return

The food is nice, however £16 felt very steep for a supermarket size pastrami, cream cheese bagel with a simple salad garnish on the plate! My friend paid 17 for his salmon and cream cheese bagel, which again was tasty but almost lost my appetite when i saw the cost! Eek

Great wee cafe. Portions were a good size and the quality of the food was excellent.

Nice staff serving excellent quality fare.

Excellent cake and tea, surrounded by colourful artwork. Local product of strawberries, raspberries and eggs for sale too!

Very friendly little cafe. Food was very tasty. Service was good and they came to check we were happy with everything. We were there 1ish on Monday afternoon and it was doing a good trade with takeaway and those sitting down to eat.

Lovely looking cafe in a great spot. Friendly, helpful staff and great sandwiches, cakes and coffee. Will definitely return next time we're in the area.

A beautiful little coffee, with some good bagels and focaccia

Unfortunately closed, despite the internet information. So I drove for nothing 😏

Friendly helpful staff loads of choices this cafe is a great place to gain local information for the area will be back .thank you

Beautiful little spot. Pastrami bagel was the dugs danglies and I'd travel a long way for the chocolate and beetroot cake. Staff are friendly and attentive. 5 stars

Rude staff / owner who knows that they are currently sitting on a gold mine serving average food dressed up to gullible tourists who they know will unlikely ever be back. So no need to be pleasant. Inadequate parking and indoors stuffy and hot. £17 for a sandwich, a couple of salad leaves and a few crisps!!!!

2024 visit to the old post office and it’s easy to see why the reviews are 5*. Food is amazing, people are great, it’s very popular (for obvious reasons) so we were willing to wait 10 minutes for a table. The soups are off the scale good in particular. Can’t wait to get another chance to visit.

Lovely cafe though I felt rushed outside was alone and people were waiting. Waiting staff came over a few times to clear my coffee and cake even though I clearly hadn't finished

good food, nice people, and nice artwork

As soon as we saw how beautiful this place is we had to make a stop. We received a warm welcome from the friendly staff, always a good sign! There is a large selection of cakes and the coffee is strong and flavourful! My coffee flavoured cake was so delicious and moist that I had to hold myself from ordering another one! My partner tried the scone with blueberries and needless to say, there was nothing left for me to try!

What a lovely cafe with smashing food. Loved the special - focaccia with mozzarella, artichokes and tomato. The tomato basil soup was splendid. We came at around 1:30pm, the cafe was quite packed but we were lucky enough to get a table without waiting. They have cakes as well which we didn’t manage to try.

Beautiful little cafe and gallery. The carrot and coriander soup was the best we've tasted! Lovely food, great service with lots of smiles. The local artist Ann Vastano has an amazing eye for colour, capturing the lochs and mountains in their finest glory. You won't be disappointed. 😍

Every time I visit the area, I pay a visit here. It's the cutest café and gallery with a very warm atmosphere. Their cakes are to die for and we enjoyed their pear and gorgonzola special focaccia which was great. Coffee nice too. Oh and don't miss the post box outside where a local designs knitted scenes that are showstoppers!

Delicious food and tasty vegan options. A couple more vegan cakes would be great but otherwise brilliant. Disappointed that on my last visit both varieties of vegetable soup on offer had cream in so weren’t vegan. Also a bit more choice would be good. We’ve been a few times and always have to have the (delicious) coronation cauliflower.

Just lovely wee spot was meeting up with an old school friend from years gone by . Yummy donuts . Nice place cosy inside lovely outside

Fab cake, good coffee. I haven't tried the savoury food yet but it sounds interesting. Not the cheapest, but it is v good.

Cracking little place. Beautiful food & coffee plus great service with very friendly and helpful staff. A proper little gem.

Great food, cosy cafe and very friendly service. Orange lemon cake is 10/10.

My second time visiting this place and the staff were found to be consistently accommodating/friendly and relaxed. The food was amazing - just what we needed after a swim in the river. Left this place feeling happy and full bellied - that’s what it’s all about. Keep up the good work guys x

Delicious food, friendly service. Yum!

The service here is always amazing, as were the cakes. To be recommended.

stopped here for brunch on way back to aberdeen, what a wee gem this place is...Toni the boss was so welcoming and charming and so were the other gents coming around to the tables to ensure all diners are getting what we ordered, the tortellini special and salmon sandwich was wonderful, really enjoyed our brunch and a must stop place if you're around kingaussie, very highly recommended👍👍👍

A lovely cafe in a beautiful setting serving excellent food.

Despite being a many times visitor to the area we had never been here before and when I read the name of the location my instinct was that it would be small and busy and probably sell cakes and coffee. [Oddly, as a reviewer, I dont always read previous reviews!] Anyhow we got here around 12, got an official car parking space and there were lots of tables inside. 15 minutes later it was mobbed and it was obvious why. From the first contact to the last the service was impeccable, friendly and helpful. My wife who has a chilli allergy got a wee taste of the thai chicken soup to check out just how spicy it was and that was incredibly useful. But the "worst" was yet to come. We opted for the combo deal and my goodness the plate wasn't really big enough to cope with it. Let alone our "seniors" appetite. Tea was served in a proper teapot. A proper BIG teapot and was enough to have lasted us all afternoon but for the fact that there was a queue and I felt bad hogging the table. Let me be quite clear - no one came checking to see if we were finished "to hurry us up", unlike some places weve been in. This is a busy but relaxed place to be and we could have sat all day. The cakes looked amazing but they too were gigantic. So in summary if you're in the area get here early enough to get a space. You wont regret it. In fact as I am writing this review at 6am on the day after, I am thinking maybe today we could go back and manage coffee and cake this afternoon......? This next bit is nothing to do with the location - as we sat in the window of the cafe I was looking out on to National Cycle route 7 and a road I had never explored. That is enough of a reason for me. After lunch we took a drive down it to Loch Insch - stunning views and thence to Ruthven Barracks. If you go slowly it will take around 30 minutes but entirely worth the detour.

Best service, this is a cozy small place and food just takes your heart. Best way to reach is cycling, and enjoying the nature it's surrounded by. We cycled from kingussie and can say it's perfect spot. Over all the hot chocolate is icing on cake. Which reminds me their cakes options are so wide and delicious.

Visited here on way to Grantown on Spey. Although not vegan we chose a vegan sandwich...coronation cauliflower. It was the best sandwich filling we have ever had! I am going to try and recreate it next time we have our vegan visitors! Seemed to be a very popular cafe . A bit too cold to eat outside this time of year so had to leave our dog in the car but I think in warmer weather we could have her outside with us

Really nice food and very friend staff. The place is really cute. Great for lunch or a coffee

Great little cafe with authentic Italian food, cakes and more. We got the homemade lasagne and it was delicious. Tony and the other staff were very welcoming. Would highly recommend

After a WET 3 mile walk to get to the OPO we arrived to be told ‘no dogs’. There was an outside area with table and chairs which could have been wiped down, as well as a canopy that could have been used to accommodate us, but no offer was made. We trudged back to our campsite, disappointed. 25% of Scotlands population are dog owners and Speyside is ‘walking country’. We are local to the Highlands and previous customers. We also have our own tourism business but unfortunately wont be able to recommend the OPO to our doggie owner customers….disappointing 🐾😰

What a delightful stop after a walk. Was packed around lunch time and tricky to get a parking spot, but well worth any wait. The food and coffee was delicious and the staff were delightful. Thanks for having us!

Always good to hear about Napoli

Absolutely delicious, the food was so fresh and tasty. The coffee was to die for and made perfectly, I would highly recommend!

Gorgeous wee cafe, lovely friendly staff, beautiful art work. We only stopped for coffee and brought a painting. Food looked amazing too

Lovely cafe, we always try to call in when visiting relatives.

Daughter recommended the Old Post Office to us and we were not disappointed. Dont miss ordering the "doughnuts". Wow, wish we lived closer. Anyway, next year in October first stop hopefully.

A great place for lunch good food and lovely staff.

The food was amazing, the location is so well designed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. 10/10

My wife and I popped in on our way home from the NC500. My wife had been wanting to visit for a while, but it has always been closed. This time, we had a lovely seat in the corner and were well looked after. The drinks were excellent. We ordered a bagel to share and a cake each. And while it was very delicious, our sum came to £33! For two drinks, two cakes and ONE sandwich. I understand that the cost of ingredients has gone up, but this seems over the top. Cafe time should never be unaffordable, but this is getting close. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and we'll probably be back, but when we have saved up!

Delicious and a great atmostphere but quite expensive.

I don't want to say its as good as it is because its so nice I don't want everyone to know about it. ♥️

This cafe is tucked away near Loch Insch and is a must visit if you are anywhere nearby Very friendly staff who obviously love their job Amazing food - not the ‘run of the mill’ cafe food you normally get but creative dishes that are delicious. Options available for coeliacs, vegetarians and vegans

The white haired lady come to take our order while she was picking a booger. Without washing her hands, she got our silverware. The woman in the red and white top repeated coughed into her hand and went back to what she was doing without washing her hands. I hope the owner reads this review and takes the opportunity to cover sanitary practices with the staff. The food was amazingly good.

Great food, fast service and lovely atmosphere.

A lovely scenic view while enjoying a wonderful ciabatta. Great service and wonderful interior.

It's a nice setting and the staff are very friendly but it's extremely expensive for what you get (essentially sandwiches). Am surprised that more reviewers here don't mention this...

Great coffee shop, great service

A fantastic cafe, with magnificent cakes and desserts and lovely friendly staff. They also do very nice filled focaccia and bagels which you can take away for an instant packed lunch - very tasty if a bit pricey. The light lunches also looked lovely, but sadly we did not get to sample. Lunchtimes themselves are very busy and you may need to wait for a table.

Tasty home baked cakes, great location. Busy spot, car parking available, limited space. Good choice on menu although we only stayed for tea and cake.

I was taken here for lunch. Tucked away in a corner of the village, it was very popular and busy. But we found a bench along the wall. Great sandwiches, coffee and cakes. Lovely atmosphere with really friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Employees of this cafe make you feel really welcome! Food is good too

Amazing place, very nice and kind people. We loved it!

Really super lunch!! I must admit, the menu was fancier than I wanted at the time, plus we had 2 fussy boys with us, but the first thing the lovely waiter said (without me asking) was that they could adapt anything to make it simple for the boys, so they had a smoked salmon & cream cheese bagel and a plain cream cheese bagel - both enjoyed immensely. I had the ciabatta with mozarella, pesto & I can’t remember what else but it was really lovely! My husband had focaccia with something lovely too! I loved mine but I would choose the focaccia next time as it was really special. We didn’t have time for dessert unfortunately but next time! Highly recommend and we’ll be back next August!

Un bel endroit... la cuisine est un régal et le service est top!!! Gentillesse, humour et sourire sont au rendez-vous!!! Une belle découverte pendant nos vacances dans le coin! Je recommande vivement!

Stopped for a late lunch, staff were welcoming & cheerful. Food was amazing and super tasty, highly recommended for anyone looking for a small local cafe 😋

A cafe that thoroughly deserves its outstanding reputation. Toni & Anne Vastano and their hard working team have created a a very special place indeed.

Lovely location and staff friendly and efficient. Food portions are tight and expensive. Frequent visitor to Kincraig but wouldn't choose to go back and fellow guests I know felt same about portion sizes for the price you pay. A shame tbh

Fantastic, fresh food and lovely staff. You will not be disappointed.

A perfect stop for coffee and other edible goodies…especially for hungry bikers in need of a caffeine boost. The owner, was so helpful in giving me advice for the ride ahead. I could sense his genuine interest in ensuring the success of my ride ahead. Really made my day.

Great cakes and coffee. Very nice inside and nice surroundings

The place is a bit hidden but a little gem. We had bagels, focaccia and Ciabatta. All very tasty and good. The quality is excellent. The prices however seem to be a bit high. They have plenty of other food like cakes etc. There is a parking space behind the house. The place is worth a detour and we would go there again.

Wonderful cafe in Kincraig. Vast choice of cakes on offer. Recommend.

Fantastic little cafe with lovely food, paintings and great service. We found it by accident and although only visited once wished we had known about it sooner!

The food and the service are excellent. That's why it is popular.

Nice atmosphere, helpful staff, delicious food (with good ingredients) and plenty of choice including vegetarian and gluten free choices. Would definitely recommend!

We just stopped in for coffee and cake after a hard cycle and was very happy with the selection of beautiful cakes and sweet treats!

Delicious ciabatta and focaccia sandwiches. Good vegetarian options. Lovely tea and coffee. Friendly staff.

£28 for two takeaway bagels and one coffee?

Fabulous lunch. Busy when we arrived but friendly staff assured us it would be 5 mins. We had bagels which were amazing and doughnuts also very good. Coffees very good too. Well worth a trip to this gem can’t fault it!

We were advised of this little place by a friend and when we arrived most tables were taken. We were shown to a table and given menus. We ordered coffees, my wife had a fruit scone and I had the pastrami and Swiss cheese bagel....

Beautiful place to stop for lunch with delicious food!

Wonderful cake coffee and tea, served with smile.

Cycled past here in 2022 but didn't stop, managed time this year with good friends to have coffee & cake, it was amazing and the paintings on the walls are really interesting too. Lovely people working their on the Sunday afternoon that we were there....

Stopped for coffee and cake, but they also do lunch. Friendly staff and nice food.

A lovely stop for a coffee / cake Very friendly staff and service good Would definitely visit again !
