Roads End Coffee Shop in Highland

Unfortunately we didn't receive any warm food later in the afternoon. The cake was excellent, the staff was courteous and the shop was super cute

Roads End Cafe is a lifesaver at this time of the year, we were on the NC500 and fancied a bite to eat when we got to John o Groats. It is such a basic cafe but still serves hot toasties/sandwiches, soup and small cakes/scones. The lady that served us was lovely, so welcoming and willing to go the extra mile, she even recommended the haggis and cheese toastie which I couldn't turn down. Since it was so quiet, it was takeaway only but she let us sit in due to the gale force winds outside. I have to say the toasties are the best I have had in a while and not even that expensive despite the location, absolutely fantastic. It is a little gem if you're looking for something eat when you reach the most northernly point in Scotland!

We were desperately seeking sustanance, and the world's end, clinging to the two apples in our care. Out of the fog came into view, this glorious establishment, and their oft under reported Lentil Soup. Grateful to see, Roads End. You, our saviors be.

Very bad coffee, threw two cups away. No idea about the rest of the food & drink on offer though.

If this was the best of British as described on the blackboard in the picture I'd seriously be concerned by the worst. The vast array of blackboards gives the impression there's a lot to offer which is sadly not the case! A large menu board gives no further clue to what's on offer besides Sandwiches and toasties and it still took a lifetime of finding out what was i side them. We eventually opted for the toasties which gave a little more clue as to the flavours. As a side note if you ask they simply reply " check the menu!" These toasties turned out to be as blandest as blandest could be. This is the last cafe in Scotland and the last time we'll ever visit.

Wasn't the best coffee, hot chocolate was the best though. Indoor seating is very dull and dark, if the weather is good the few benched outdoor would be the best place to sitdown.

Had a couple of toasties and a tea while stopping by for the views. Decent toastie. Just a simple shop with a gift store next door

Nice staff but that is pretty much all I can say. I walked in and have an overwhelming feel of depression. The place is so outdated and dark. When asked do I want take away or to sit in I immediately knew the answer was take away. The coffee was “ok”. If you fancy time travelling to the 1980s for a ok coffee in a dark cafe then this is the place for you!

Only had a coffee last week but it was a great coffee (latte) and hot and a proper mug ☕👍

Visited in Jan 2020. Expecting this place to be a ghost town which it was, still great to visit though. Popped into coffee shop for a chicken sandwich, which is exactly what I got. Seriously unimpressed with the effort that went into making it however... Bland, literally some squashed white bread slices and cold chicken..... Looked terrible, and was bland! Not sure what I was expecting, but this is ridiculous.

We popped in to this quaint little cafe at the beginning of November, the lady was very friendly & very accommodating (we were the large party of 8)! Delicious soups and sandwiches!! My niece, especially enjoyed her rocky road chocolate bar! Highly recommend!

Very friendly, very helpful. Nice breakfast baps

After a cold and windy day of travelling we were so pleased to be so warmly welcomed by the lovely lady at this cafe (I believe her name was Bea?) and delicious hot breakfast. I cannot say enough good things about the service and hospitality of the people both in the shop and in the cafe. Brightened a cloudy day and gave us some tips for our travels. Thanks to Elaine for the tablet recipe too! 😊

excellent T-4-2 which easily serves three or more

Shout out to the Cabin at John o Groats. Great coffee and sausage bap first thing in the morning and a few Milkyway chocolate bar!

Firstly I would say staff were very polite. Unfortunately the breakfast was not available due to the cafe waiting on a delivery. Instead I ordered the bacon roll. After a long wait I received my food which was really very poor. The bacon looked and tasted like it had been reheated and if I was not very hungry I would have sent it back. Very disappointing.

I got told loads before coming to John O'Groats that it was boring, nothing to do and not that interesting... Pish! Absolute nonsense! They obviously weren't served by Rosie at the Roads End Coffee shop and they obviously didn't have their £3.50 breakfast cooked to perfection or an amazing fruit scone. If I didn't live 300 miles away I think I'd be a regular. Thanks for the service 😁

Food was nice enough, we were in for breakfast. Place is a little outdated and sad I couldn't get square sausage, black pudding or potato scone! I thought maybe there were out but they dnt serve it at all...

Great soup and sandwich and dog friendly too, worth a visit.

Love place to eat good value for good tho can take a while for food to arrive but still really nice & dog friendly

Very nice ladies. If not for them we would not stay. Place is very outdated. Scones were dry... not best. But soup was homemade and delicious. Ladies were only two and were explaining that shorter menu is due to less staff. Very nice people. Good price.
