The Apiary in Highland

Great staff. Good portions well priced. Stayed overnight in car park free use of toilets while cafe open. Short walk to loch.

We had a takeaway, 2 coffees (flat whites) 1 sausage roll and 1 cornish pasty. £19.90 all in. The coffees were good but not spectacular. Cornish pasty was regular size and good. The sausage roll cost a few pence short of £6 and was tiny (see photo). If the sausage roll was twice the size I would maybe have given 4 stars. Might call in again for a coffee but I will probably go to the other place in Dalwhinnie just along the road.

Great find just off of main A9 and well worth the few minutes diversion. Clearly using good quality produce the food was great and the coffee equally good. Service rounded off what was a nice breakfast stop!

Casual but well organised cafe providing regular and specialist homely dishes with perky staff. Enjoyed our lunch here. Recommended.

Had a very nice lunch, lovely as a vegetarian to have an unusual and lovely selection of vegetarian food on offer, what I had was delicious, will definitely stop here again when passing. We were also were lucky to park there overnight in our motorhome. Definitely lovely little Gem of a place and lovely to see many folk using it 👍👏

Really disappointed. I asked for extra hot water for my tea as I like a milky and weak tea. After I had paid I was told they would have to charge me extra for that. So I only had a small amount of tea before it was undrinkable. First time I have ever heard this. We will not revisit .

Excellent cafe gorgeous home cooked food and such friendly owners. We have called a few times and will be back. Highly recommend the gem of a place.

I loved this place. First time there on my own with my dog - I chose to stop here instead of House of Bruar. Delighted I did - great menu and food, staff very friendly, and very welcoming of dogs. Definitely worth hopping off the A9 for! Highly recommend.

Called by for coffee and cake - super coffee, great cake and a huge selection of them as well Good all day menu served and friendly attentive staff I have not been to cafe at this location for a few years (the previous owners closed) but I’ll will certainly be back and will make sure I am really hungry next time ! Top job guys

We visited The Apiary on a tour of Scotland. The staff were friendly, the fires were lit & the food was plentiful & delicious. Nice that it was pet friendly too. If only we lived closer it would be a regular haunt. Thank you.

Fantastic find, a small well run cafe in Dalwhinnie Village. Grat minutes with plenty Gluten Free options. Staff excellent and well versed on all menu options. Great service with fresh food.

'Found this' last year when my usual stopping off point at The Deerstalker was closed, and been there a couple of times. Really nice wee place with top quality food and drink. Staff were friendly and helpful, and great choices for brunch. This is my new favourite staging post when heading up north!

Ordered the breakfast roll, food was really good, they managed to get the egg perfect however there was a very limited menu and full breakfasts weren’t available which could be added to improve. Friendly staff and a homely vibe.

Re-reviewing as it's been a year, and I'm now a wheelchair user. Will that change things? To be blunt, no. If anything, it's gone up in my estimation. Staff couldn't do enough to help. The café is wheelchair accessible via a concrete ramp. The double doors were shut, but on both arrival and exit staff jumped straight to unlock the second door without needing asked. Chairs at the tables are movable and the young lad on duty helped to get us seated. Food was just as good, we had breakfast rolls and a couple of "Scottish BLTs" this time. If there is one quibble, it was that the bacon was all underdone, so I'd suggest specifying if you like your bacon well cooked. Definitely still the place to go in Dalwhinnie. In fact, this time we *did* go specifically so you can pat yourselves on the back for achieving that aim!

This cafe is tucked away off a main road, with a large car park outside. The restaurant is dog friendly and offers lot of savoury and sweet treats, alongside local beers and drinks. We stopped by for a lunch time snack, with a breakfast roll, followed by some cake and some ice cream. Very friendly staff and pricing is generally reasonable.

Very nice food, pleasant environment, a tad pricey. Interesting cafe, lots of choices (less so for vegetarians), good selection of eye catching cakes.

We visited while travelling to the Dalwhinnie Distillery, and were so glad we had! The food was lovely and beautifully presented. They had a wonderful selection of cakes, which sadly I didn't get a chance to try. I noticed they also had gluten free and vegan options available. The staff were super friendly, and it was generally a lovely experience!

We visited The Apiary café for breakfast on Monday the 26th of August 2024. We received a warm welcome, great service and the breakfast bap was just outstanding! Everything was so tasty and perfectly prepared. It is very evident that there is attention to detail and a real focus on quality ingredients in everything they do. We also bought some honey and coasters to take with us as a souvenir. Highly recommend this place if you find yourself anywhere near Dalwhinnie.

It was very good place with a real hot lunch 👍👍👍 The soup, jacket potatoes with different fillings, fantastic fish pur and very good coffee!

Went for a tea and coffee. Asked for oat milk, paid for oat milk, got cows milk. Beware or triple check what is put in your drink especially if you are allergic.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great choice of hot food, drinks and lots of gorgeous cakes. Dog friendly! Nice little area outside with picnic benches.

I love this place. Such friendly people, so good natured, excellent vibe (I don't use that word very often). Anyway, Wez is a great chef.

Just off the A9. We all had lunch and drinks. The club sandwich is highly recommended. Superb bacon! Also dog friendly. Was busy but well worth the ten minute wait!

A place to stop for delicious food, real coffee made with a smile and super friendly service. Water on the side , free of charge. Highly recommend.

Apiary cafe was amazing! Great choice of food and cakes. Staff were brilliant and cafe itself was comfy and welcoming. Great wee place for a stop off and refuel. Would recommend and will be back when we’re next in area.
