Stacks Coffee House & Bistro in Highland

We had fantastic flat whites and a lovely coconut/pineapple/lime cake. The decoration and atmosphere was great. Staff were very friendly and it all felt very COVID safe.

We visited with my parents yesterday day, very welcoming, lovely service staff were really kind and helpful. love the environment clean but interesting things to look at and a relaxed atmosphere. Best of all was the food, being vegetarian it's often hard to find anything other than a veggie burger but this cafe offered all delious and well thought through options, my mum enjoyed halloumi and pesto bagal with thick fresh tomatoes and my partner and I had the veggie platter which was absolutely delious and really filling, so well presented, best veggie food we have had when eating out in a long long time.

We stopped for lunch whilst visiting John O Groats, and this was the highlight in an otherwise very touristy area. It was warm and welcoming, including our 2 dogs who got a welcome treat and plenty of pets and fuss. The food was so tasty but the cakes were the highlight, the doughnut was the best I've ever had! I loved the vibe of the place and service was faultless.

Stacks is a family run cafe that would cause a buzz in St John’s Wood let alone John O’Groats. Great coffee, delectable bakes and friendly service make it an unmissable stop if you’ve made it to this famous destination. Soon to be the best Deli in the far north too!

So happy we went to this place! We were in John O'Groats for a week for Orca Watch and tried every single cafe and restaurant in the area, and this was the one we came back to time and time again. Excellent choice of veggie food (hard to find elsewhere), DELICIOUS cakes and scones and excellent coffee. Snacks has a partnership with an endometriosis charity providing sanitary products, has won an accessible toilet award in the local area, and sells loads of local products instead of the big brands (Green Cola instead of Coke) - a commitment to being inclusive and supporting the local area is a big plus, and so wonderful to see in an area that is otherwise quite commercial by nature. A must if you're visiting.

Lovely cafe. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I was, sadly, too late for lunch (sad because the menu sounds amazing!), but I had a delicious cake and coffee, which was just what I needed before resuming my drive around the area. I really valued the atmosphere, and was so happy to see free sanitary products available in the bathroom – a seemingly small but very important touch!

This place is faultless. Wonderful service with equally wonderful homemade baking. I can’t ever imagine visiting John o’ Groats without popping in.

What a really lovely cafe with the best staff. We stopped here for tea/coffee and a snack. They were out of their famous brownies but the fruit loaf we had was delicious. We returned to buy their wonderful little book on baking brownies (full of great tips as well as the recipes) and were able to buy a brownie that they had found. It was amazing! Forget the signpost, this is the reason for going to John O’Groats.

Amazing home made scones and Hot Rubens!! Traybakes and much much more. Absolutely delicious my only disappointment was that it didn’t have more breakfast items on as the car park was full at 10am and this little gem was the only place open. Poached eggs, Stornaway Black Pudding Bagels? Just a suggestion definitely NOT a criticism as what we had was amazing x

Excellent friendly service in a lovely quirky environment. The chocolate caramel slabs are highly recommended! Love what is happening in John O’Groats!

Someone described this cafe to me as "lots to look at" and that was the best description, hah! Funky decor but more important tasty lunch and coffee. Really appreciated the variety of options to suit dietary requirements. We enjoyed the Mediterranean board, halloumi bagel, hot chocolate and a flat white. Service was friendly. We were too full for cake but there was tons to choose from, will have to come back on our next visit.

Very nice. Good for lunchtime, lots of flavoured coffee options. Not much to see in John O Groats so this cafe is good to visit. Prices proportionate to location.

Sitting here now. Fantastic flatbread with all kinds of fillings. Lots of flavour and nice rich hot chocolate. Good atmosphere, nice staff, definitely get lunch if you can while visiting the sign.

Popped in to Stacks Bistro 2 days ago for lunch after building up an appetite by walking out to the cliffs to have a look at the actual "Stacks" of Duncansby. The staff were very freindly and welcomed us into this warm and cozy bistro.My wife and I both opted for the special which was melt in the mouth braised beef served with tasty garlic polenta and cabbage. The food was superbly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious. Feeling rather full after our main course we had to share some sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, which was also fabulous.I would highly recommend anyone who goes to John O'Groats to head to Stacks Bistro, you will not be disappointed.

Popped in for a coffee and was delighted to find they had a gluten free option - their chocolate brownies. These were so good I bought the brownie cookbook and will now try to produce my own delicious bites. Excellent service from very pleasant staff made this the perfect afternoon break.

Popped in without a booking and managed to get a table for 5 straight away. Quick and attentive service and great choice for lunch. Our group consisted of 2 vegans a vegetarian a picky 11 year old and a hungry me, We all enjoyed our lunches and was lovely and full to continue our adventures. Coffee was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return next time I’m back in the highlands!

I enjoyed an impromptu lunch here and the team went out of their way to accommodate my GF requirements. Most enjoyable food and friendly atmosphere at reasonable prices. Take away a Brownie - to die for and perhaps the best I have ever had. Definitely go and enjoy

Lovely place for lunch on our NC500 Road trio. The menu is very good and I just the goats cheese bagel and my husband had the mac and cheese. We are not big cake fans but the selection looked great - locals were buying to take out.

Awesome food, staff and venueWe were seated very quickly very good Covid practices in placeFood was amazing we had soup (spicy lentil and chorizo) with a cheese scone (OMG) and we then decided to stay for coffee and cake too (I had a coffee and walnut brownie to die for)Very quick service by the lovely staff well done highly recommend a visit

Went in for lunch and a coffee. Food was really good and a bit different, staff were really nice and created a great atmosphere. Well payed out and managed for Covid. Great addition to John o’groats.

Very helpful staff, and although when we visited it was a reduced menu, there was a range of tasty food and drink available. Good gluten free options, and well maintained garden in the back. Would prefer their full menu available for longer in the day but we understand the logistics of that may be difficult given the location.

A lovely little find... friendly staff, very helpful with providing vegan choices. Really nice food (pulled jackfruit in bagel/flatbread with freah salad garnish, iced gingerbread square), great coffee & a nice warm welcome. Thank you.

Visited Stacks whilst on a brief visit to the area. Due to current social distancing we had to queue outside for a brief period. You were called forward by a door bell playing the Overture from William Tell. Quite amusing. The social distancing and precautions taken within the Bistro were very good. We were told they couldn't supply the normal lunch menu, alas, no problem as there was still plenty choice. We chose to eat in the garden area towards the side and back of the building. If ever back in the area we would would not hesitate to return. Staff working well under the current circumstances. Well done.

Nice stop on a drizzly day. They are doing a good job with the COVID precautions. Had a cappuccino and cheese scone. No hot food until 11:30. Friendly staff.

The service was good but the take away food is pretty mediocre. If you’re going to serve a baguette with chicken and herbed cream cheese you best actually put some cream cheese in it. Super overpriced for what we got.

I visited here for the first time to catch up with a friend. The decor was lovely, atmosphere very relaxed, service quick and efficient, food and beverages lovely and reasonably priced. I noticed they also allow dogs in which many places don’t. Will consider taking my dogs with me for a bite to eat next time. Great selection on the menu, variety of cakes/sweets to choose from. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Lady at hotel had recommended this cafe and we loved it. We had carrot and orange soup with a cheese scone, yummy. Soup was very tasty and a lovely cheese scone, served warm. Very interesting decor using recycled materials.

Love this place. The staff are friendly and the food is first class. Everything made fresh for you. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited the restaurant on two occasions and both times the food and the coffee were excellent. It was a real haven from the winds and rain. Definitely somewhere to visit if your hungry. The Mac wrap is to die for 🙂

We were originally not going to pop in here as we were not quite ready for lunch so decided on coffee and cake. We were very glad we did. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the decor original. Loved our waiter's outfit for Halloween too. We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee (mine with soya milk) and gluten free chocolate brownie (which had been nicely warmed up for us). Thanks to all concerned for staying open all year for us out of season travellers and their dogs.

While visiting John o groats we popped info stacks and had a choice of tables, the cafe had a lovely warm feeling staff were friendly and decor was quirky and cool. I had the mac & cheese flatbread served with salad and slaw which was utterly delicious..my partner had the burger served with slaw and salad and said it was one of the best burgers he had ever tried. Another great point was we were aloud to take our little Jack Russel in with us. Would love to visit again some time. Well done stacks excellent 5 stars from me.

Very welcoming staff, dog friendly and great food! The pumpkin pie cake is a must!!! Best place to go after a long walk in John o’groats

A very homley spot on a blowy cold October day. Very nice staff... wonderful looking cakes (which I was too full to try unfortunately) and a very hearty bowl of soup. Their cheese scones were out of this world... top drawer... make sure you stop in

Had Curried Carrot Soup and a flatbread with roasted root veg and walnuts. My wife also had a chai latte. Great for all.... carnivores, vegetarians, vegans. Food tasted really fresh and the menu was inventive and interesting for the area. Well priced too.Staff were helpful, friendly and polite and the place looked good, was cosy and clean.Gutted it wasn't open for evening meals but maybe not the demand at this time of year.Loved it!

Good food at a small establishment in the most remote place you can imagine. Not haute cuisine but very good selection of home made products. Soup and Sandwich is signature dish. In high season you should book a table in advance. Ample car parking but disabled parking provision is not clearly marked. Stacks is in an accessible building with disabled toilets. A short walk to the John O'groats sign post.

Stopped in for a simple lunch of soup and bread. Chose the cheese scone bread option and it was fabulously tasty. Soup was fresh and good also. Prices seemed reasonable and atmosphere was friendly.

Siamo arrivati alla nostra destinazione finale proprio all'ora di pranzo. Qui abbiamo mangiato un buonissimo salmone affumicato e una zuppa con una fresca birra locale. Il paesino, composto da poche case, alcune colorate, è davvero carino. Servizio rapido, personale gentile.

We were recommended by two people to have lunch here. We turned up at peak time, and were happy to wait the 40 minutes for a table, as the food looked and smelt delicious. I ordered the soup and a sandwich (with flat bread). After a few minutes a rather sullen teenager said the soup was finished. So my meal came with what looked like half a sandwich for almost the same cost as the full meal. After I had eaten my sandwich the food board was updated to say soup was back on. Why could the server not have just told me to wait a few minutes...

Bel localino a due passi dal porticciolo di John O’Groats, ci fermiamo per caso a siamo piacevolmente colpiti! Abbiamo mangiato un ottimo toast con salmone affumicato e pane di segale, fantastico nella sua semplicità . Molto buoni anche i dolci . Ho apprezzato il bagno, attrezzatissimo ad accogliere i piccoli ospiti

Loved this place. Great food and lovelly friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly so my dog loved it. Lovelly view into the harbour. Very relaxing

Only had coffee (very good) and scones (recommend the cheese). If their other offerings are as good I could easily improve the rating to "Excellent".

After scanning previous reviews - the good, the bad and the ugly - it's clear to me that people don't understand how to properly review restaurants. Just because a dog-friendly restaurant had a dog in it, you're mad? Grow up. There is an entire wall dedicated to doggie visitors inside. If you're one of these people who don't like dogs, go eat somewhere else.

Durante il nostro tour in Scozia, non poteva mancare una tappa a John o’ Groats e qui abbiamo deciso di pranzare in questo delizioso locale a conduzione famigliare, dove tutto è fatto da loro e che ci ha subito fatto sentire a casa.

This lovely coffee stop was the best part of John 'o Groats. Good coffee, proper cheese scone that tasted of cheese and shared a mint slice, also to be recommended. We were served at the table by a very polite member of staff.

We hadn’t booked in advance for dinner and were lucky to get the last table as the restaurant was full. Would recommend booking. Very friendly and homely atmosphere with good food. Felt it was a bit expensive but assume the location warranted the amount charged. They had also ran out of milk so we couldn’t order lattés or the like (not fans of coconut or almond milk which were available). We would probably return to sample a cake or two.....

We had home made mushroom soup which was very tasty and came in a very large bowl. An interesting range of 'sides' was on offer eg roasted onion. Good tea and coffee and good service

Nous avons fait un stop dans ce petit café sur notre chemin pour Duncansby Head Lighthouse. Très sympathique. La nourriture est faite maison, tous les produits sont frais, le service super agréable. Rien à redire. Les chocolats chauds sont ultra gourmands

Ci siamo fermati per un tè ed una fetta di torta (ottima) in una pausa pomeridiana durante il nostro giro delle Highlands. Locale arredato in maniera molto gradevole. Mi è solo spiaciuto che già mezzora prima della chiusura i bagni fossero stati resi inaccessibili e il personale stesse rassettando. Non avevo alcuna intenzione di trattenere nessuno al lavoro, ma il fatto che già da prima della chiusura mi stessero fissando mi ha decisamente messo fretta.

Not your run of the mill cafe, nothing for a fussy eater, canna even get a normal cup of coffee. Over enthusiastic staff were a pain in the neck, made me feel totally uncomfortable. Don't expect it to be open when you arrive - more often than not i have found this place closed with some excuse or another on the door.

What can I say even though I’m a local this was my first time visiting

Stayed at a B&B; nearby, and went to John O’Groats for dinner. Discovered Stacks Bistro open and were warmly welcomed, despite no reservation.

Stopped here for a coffee on our NC500 trip. Coffee was excellent, as were the cakes. Staff were really friendly and great to find such a nice place in such a remote location! Would highly recommend!

Don’t miss out like we did and only have tea and snacks here. Food looks so good and atmosphere much better than anything else / where we actually ate. Check it out

Dans la brume et le crachin de cette petite ville du bout de l'Écosse, il existe un refuge avec une déco chaleureuse et conviviale.

An ad-hoc visit to this bistro found it to be very busy, so book ahead or expect a wait. But its worth it - the food, which is reasonably priced, was absolutely delicious. Service was very friendly. The young lads who we saw worked away constantly and were friendly and professional.

The area isn't blessed with a huge number of good eating options, but Stacks is a quality establishment. 'Quirky' decor but good varied menu with many options for those with specific dietary requirements. Everything we ordered was lovely. Service was relaxed but attentive. Great playlist. Great to see a business making a real effort in a notoriously bizarre tourist area. We'll worth a visit (excellent coffee too)

We stopped here on our journey for a coffee and a bite to eat, it was a busy little place and I was glad we could get a table. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was good - The coffee was great and the flatbreads were amazing. I would recommend popping in if you are passing or staying nearby!

One of our goals was to see John O'Groat during our trip but that day, the weather was not wonderful and after reading so many great reviews about this place, it couldn't go there and miss a visit to Stacks. The decoration of the place is so warm and welcoming, very young and colourful. The owner was wearing a kilt and Doc Martins which fitted so well with the decor! Great choice of cakes (including a delicious gluten-free lemon drizzle) and I could see very tempting comforting food on the menu but it wasn't meal time for us! The toilets are very amusing as well. I recommend this place heartily!

Weather was on our side during our visit which meant we could enjoy our meal outside Food was lovely ! Very enjoyable meal Everyone in group was pleased Handy to have a licensed premises to enjoy w cold cider on a hot day

Lovely chocolate Rocky road and chocolate crispy. Too big portions but offered a container for the remains. Enjoyed it later.

We had such a lovely meal here, everting all locally sourced and the staff absolutely superb it was a great evening

Looking around at John O'Groats for something to eat at lunchtime that wasn't chips. So we tried Stacks - different range of lovely food. As well as coffees I had smoked salmon with cream cheese and rocket in a wrap, with citrus slaw - delicious. My husband had cajun lentil soup with granary artisan bread - verdict again was delicious. We then finished with whisky flavoured icecream which we both enjoyed enormously. Staff were attentive and bistro was clean and well cared for

A long drive to John O’Groats was tiring. I sought shelter and a drink in this engaging, clean, smart, friendly bistro. I sat by the window and was given and excellent bottle of the local beer brewed a hundred yards up the road. Delicious. Lovely place.

We stopped here for lunch on our trip to Orkney. The food was great -- tasty and very good quality. We had flat bread sandwiches and soup. The portions were generous and you could tell that they used quality ingredients. Excellent value for your money too. Definitely recommend.

Great soup, and excellent "toasties". These were actually generous sandwiches on toasted good quality bread, not little squashed things made on a special griddle. Excellent value at just under a tenner each.

Another of many trips to Stacks today, great as always. Delicious mac cheese toastie and sausage sandwich :) lovely staff and cosy surroundings. So nice to have a place to take visitors to Caithness that we as locals can be proud of!

Wir haben es sehr touristisch erwartet und wurden von dem kreativ dekorierten Familienbistro sehr positiv überrascht! Grossartige Auswahl um sich einen Lunch oder Tee/Kaffe und Kuchen zu gönnen! Sehr empfehlenswert!!

After 8 days on Orkney finally somebody knows how to make coffee warm, not bloody boiling water!!

Nothing special about this establishment. While eating our food some people sat next to us with dogs???. Wet dog smell is not my favourite side dish with cheese scone. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but it is a tourist trap. Toilet floor had wet toilet paper on it. No steps at site to stop wheel chairs. Staff were not bubbly just going through the motions. Not even a happy face on getting paid, which made me laugh. Burger with roast quarter veg and Chorizo, or a sandwich.

Although they’d run out of burgers when we ordered just after 2pm my sausage sandwich couldn’t have been better so I’m glad they’d run out of the former. Partner and mother both had Mac cheese and these were soon polished off. We also bought some coffee when we were there. This place is nice and quirky, vibey, clean and charismatic. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

What was a recommendation of good food resulted in a sad disappointment

We liked this place so much that we visited twice, both times for a snack lunch. The home made soup was excellent & a very good portion. Cheese scones & an unusual variety of cakes with excellent flavours. Evening meals were also available but we didn't have time to try them.

Wonderful friendly staff and great food. Everything was delicious, fresh and tasty. We tried the vegan sunshine bowl, a smoked salmon wrap and a very tasty cheese, honey and apricot toasted sandwich. Afterwards we gave in and sampled the amazing cake selection which did not disappoint either!

Family day out before heading to flavours for ice cream and John O’Groats emporium, we headed to stacks for a bite to eat, to be told no food after 3pm only cake and coffee, fine we can manage that. We were asked if we were ready to order and said no we were waiting on the kids deciding, that was our mistake. We waited another 20 minutes, to be served only after hubby asking if we could order, during this time we had been glared at, ignored and read every waiter/ waitress’s t shirts about being rude!! If you like poor service this is you’re place. Every other shop in groats was amazing.

Myself , my wife and my 2 year old decided to get a bite to eat here.

Visited on a wet windy day. Our dog was made so welcome and the waitress asked if she could add a dog biscuits to our order. The lunch we had was really good. A roast beef wrap, the beef perfectly cooked and not at all chewy, and a cheese sandwich with apricots and honey. Really nice flavours. The latte was superb, it will be difficult to find one as good anywhere. I was even asked if I could take the dog to the kitchen door so the busy chef could see him through the window. Lovely visit.

Really nice local coffee and the cake is an absolute treat. Very nice atmosphere. The food looked great too if a little pricey.

We called in and had to settle for takeaway coffee and a snack as they were very busy with all seats occupied. Despite this service was quite timely. Our coffees were very good and their array of home-made cakes and slices was amazing. I was assured that all were made in-house. It was hard to choose but the lemon curd shortbread finger was excellent and the Victoria Sponge quite heavy for a sponge but still tasty. I tasted a piece of the jaffa slice they had out for sampling, and it was delicious. Wish I had room in my stomach for it as well!

This is not your typical bistro/restaurant and is quite refreshing. No deep fried chips here, only oven roasted sweet potatoes! For dinner we shared a broad bean dip with pitta bread to start which was delightful . For our main course my wife had feta and spinach fritters and I had seabass with a wonderful greek salad. Both were very tasty and well prepared meals. Service was excellent and very friendly as the place is 'family' run.

We had such a lovely experience the evening we spent at Stacks Coffee House and Bistro. The food was freshly prepared, innovative and tasty. The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We even decided to return the next day for coffees. We only wish we could have returned for another enjoyable eating experience but we hope to return next time we are in the area.

Was appalled by the level of customer service at Stacks Bistro today. As regulars, a friend and I reserved a table for 1:30pm. At 1:32pm we were greeted by a member of staff who told us they didn’t think we were coming so had given our table away. I remarked that we were only 2 minutes late and surely there was a period of grace however, the member of staff continued to tell us that they had to turn customers away because they were keeping a table for us. We were then told that we could share the end of a table with another group. Obviously, we declined. If table reservations are an inconvenience to your business, then perhaps you should review this policy. It’s very easy to forget that it is us locals that keep small businesses like yourselves afloat when the tourist season ends!

Coffee is below average - which is a shame as they thank you for choosing local (Starbucks is across the road) but at Stacks it just doesn’t taste good!

I went as part of a bus tour. There were three buses pulling in so I waited 35 minutes before popping my head in the door. I saw some empty tables so I sat down. The young girl came over and told me that table was “taken” so I looked around and didn’t see anyone but moved for her anyway. I moved to a dirty table full of dishes where people were just leaving from. I continued eating and an older woman came over and asked me to leave. I said why? She said because there are people over there waiting for a table! I’m like, what? Why are you asking me to leave the table I am also a paying customer. Then the man from the group waiting for the table comes and starts to pull out a chair. So I get up and move again. Finally, I got fed up with the crappy treatment and asked the young girl for a takeaway bag for the rest of my food. She comes back empty handed and asks me if I paid for it - well the receipt was sitting in front of her on the table, so, of course I paid for it. Finally got the takeaway bag and just left. Terrible service........you won’t get many returning customers with at attitude.

Got a lovely warm welcome from the staff on a very cold and blustery afternoon. Both our dogs were warmly received and a fresh water bowl was placed by our table for them, we all enjoyed hot coffees and cakes, there was so many to choose from and they all looked amazing. If you do visit see how many little mice you can spot dotted around.

My wife and I called in here today for Coffee & Cake whilst visiting the area. We visit John O' Groats several times over the year and since Stacks has been open it’s the only place we’ll eat. Great food at sensible prices Lovely atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. Highly Recommended.

Just managed to get a table on a very busy Easter Sunday. Real good vibe to the place, which has a bit of hippy about it (and that’s not meant disrespectfully). We ordered a gourmet burger and a chicken toastie, with a drink each. Both meals were excellent, and set us up for the rest of the day. Recommended

Staff very helpful, offered a different option for children and will to accommodate for allergies. Great range of home baking and cakes. Great wee stop off

We stopped here for just coffee and cake however lunch options looked great as well. A cute little family run business, this cafe offers scrumptious cake selections with generous servings. Stop here. You won’t be disappointed! Great little independent cafe!

Just popped in for a quick coffee before catching a ferry over to Orkney. Coffee was of a good quality & snacks that were available were lovely all that you could ask for even a lovely view was had

We popped in here for a quick lunch. Very quick service & didn’t have to wait long. Everyone had flatbreads or a toastie & raved about it. I had a cheese scone which was enormous & the best scone I’ve ever had!

Excellent food, excellent service and very dog friendly. We were really well looked after and the menu was brilliant. Definitely be back!!!

Cannot stress enough how welcome we were made to feel with our dog Woody, all staff made an effort to make our dog feel welcome too. He was offered numerous treats and given lots of attention. I was slightly nervous to take him in due to him only being a year old and know he is still a little vocal at times. He wasn't perfect but staff were understanding and we were put at ease so we were able to enjoy our brunch. Food, service and coffee was great. It is fantastic to finally have somewhere local that will allow us to take our dog in with us. Well done Stacks, we will be back soon.

We spotted it after leaving the Orkney ferry. We booked ahead and enjoyed a really nice meal in a lovely decorated bistro. It's a family business and the menu was really well thought out with something for all tastes. Wine was reasonably priced and the service was excellent.

I had a home bake which was nice but I felt was a bit expensive for what it was. The place itself is nicely decorated and staff were nice.

We love Stacks!! An interesting menu full of variety, delicious healthy food, lots of yummy cakes and great coffee - perfect! All in a cosy nicely decorated bistro with friendly staff. 10/10.

My wife and I visited Stacks on a really cold day in February, having travelled all the way up from Cornwall to see John O'Groats.

This was one of the few places open out of season in John O’Groats, and we loved the cosy ambiance. It had a little fire, board games and lots of homely little touches. We both had the sandwich and soup lunch deal for just under £10 each. The soup was carrot and coriander; I chose a veggie toasted flatbread which tasted freshly baked. My other half went with a macaroni cheese and bacon toastie and really enjoyed it. The drinks selection was good including beers from John O’Groats as well as more quirky/healthy waters, cordials and juices. The menu was well marked up for people with different dietary requirements. There were lots of different cakes, coffees and teas on offer. For lunching or having a tea/coffee in John O’Groats this may be the best place to visit.

If you are looking to relax and take time for an outstanding meal then this is the Caithness venue for You!

Stopped for lunch on a quick visit to Groats, very pleasantly surprised. Lovely fresh lunch made to order, soup and beef flatbreads. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Will definitely return, one of the best eateries in the county.

Returned here for lunch - still as good as always. The toastie and soup deal is great and the bistro is a nice place to get out of the cold wind, eat nice food and be welcomed by friendly staff.
