The Country Bakery in Perth & Kinross

Fresh and yummy Scottish fare. We stopped here on a whim and found it to be charming and clean with excellent food at a good price

Small eclectic cafe. Lots of various food and baking for sale. We had coffee and scones- excellent. Staff are pleasant and very courteous. Will be back 😍

Wonderful and eclectic assortment of high quality bakery. [There’s no point in us repeating the very many 5* reviews, other than to echo and validate the same positive sentiments written before our visit.]

was here every day while woking locally. fruit scones love em....... pork and black pudding sausage roll, first for me..... lovely.....

Dropped in for some cakes and sausage rolls to take home ,nice range of baking and pastries on display with a small dining area . Will have to come back at lunchtime and try out the menu . Sausage rolls were really nice when we heated them up back home

We visited on Christmas Eve and The Country Bakery was full, so we needed to wait a while before being seated, which shows how popular this tiny place is considering neighbouring coffee shops in the town were empty. My wife and I ordered a bowl of home-made soup each, which came with a hunk of tasty brown and which we washed down with Earl Grey's tea that was blended specially for this café with additional infusions of lemon peel and rose hip. Delicious! The hearty lentil soup was tasty and filling. The lady who served us was very pleasant and told us a bit about the locality and even provided us with a free map of Dunkeld which highlighted local attractions such as Dunkeld Cathedral, Atholl Memorial Fountain and Dunkeld Bridge over the fast-flowing, whisky-producing River Tay. So, why not 5-'stars'? Unfortunately we were charged a premium to eat-in, which I believed was no longer permissible in the UK? Perhaps I am wrong in my assumption that I should not be charged for eating in, but it is a very long time since any eatery I have been to in Britain has charged me extra to eat the food the sell me on their premises if seating is provided. Thus, I deducted a 'star'.

This is a bakery with a small seated area. We were lucky to pop in mid-afternoon and find some huge cheese scones left! They were very tasty and enjoyed with hot drinks inside. There is also a customer toilet. The bakery seemed popular with locals especially for their range of sausage rolls. Friendly staff.

Stopped at the café for some lunch. Beautiful homemade scones! Great selection of sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes. Maybe a little overpriced.

Called in for coffee and fruit scone. Large coffee lives up to its title, it was large. Hot, good quality and fresh. The fruit scone, you can have it warm if you wish, whatever you ask for, make sure you get some homemade raspberry jam - brilliant. Scone was very good too.

After a long walk and loads of photos in the Hermitage coffee and cake was called for. The country bakery on Dunkeld High Street provided both, recommend the fudge donuts and the millionaire shortcake

Chose this mainly because I needed my daily caffeine hit and because it was dog friendly. Place is a bakery but has 3 tables for sitting down. It serves lovely food and very good coffee. Staff were very friendly and chatty. We had some breakfast whilst there and weren’t disappointed. Alex.

Went in today and they have had a really nice refurbishment done, looks very modern and trendy! Have been going for years and the food is always reliably good and the staff are always polite and friendly.

If you are in Dunkeld you have to stop at the Country Bakery. The food is amazing and the staff are fantastic! We stopped in for lunch and had a collection of sausage rolls, a broccoli and chicken pasty and my husband and I shared a toasted Italian chicken sandwich - oh, my! It was so good that one of our friends had to go and get one too. Of course, we also chose a variety of pastries to take on the coach to eat- unfortunately at our next stop when our driver cleaned the coach, he thought our 'white plastic bag' was a trash bag and threw our tasty treats away. But they looked delicious!!!! Make sure you stop by the Country Bakery - tell them the Americans sent you!

stopped in for a quick bite- i had the butternut squash soup, my husband had the quiche- i sampled the shortbread and would have liked to have tried all the other deserts since they all looked perfect.

Popped in after work this morning to get one of the mouthwatering giant scones I could see through the window and ended up buying 2 sausage rolls. Pork and black pudding and pork and carmelised onion. Obviously homemade, they were both absolutely beautiful. The carmelised onion one was my favourite. Lovely clean bakery, very friendly and attentive staff. Everything I could see looked so tasty and it took a lot of will power to not buy everything.

My husband and I popped in for a quick lunch on Saturday and enjoyed the macaroni cheese pie and beans and the black pudding roll. We rounded off our meal with a yummy yum yum. The girl who served us was very friendly and polite.

We stopped here on our way back to our holiday cottage and were blown away by the friendliness of the staff, value of the food and the size of the scones! We got in just before the shop was closing but the staff didn't batter an eyelid and happily served us. Between us we had both the cheese and fruit scones...what can I say. They were both the biggest and tastiest scones we have ever eaten. We even took some home and had them the next day and they were still delicious. This is an absolute must if you are in the area!

Nice coffee and cake. Service was friendly and efficient. Soup is available with a sandwich. Look forward to the next time we are in the area.

Humble but nice little bakery. And the welcome was kind.

Bought our bread, rolls and cakes daily during a self catering holiday in Dunkeld and enjoyed very much. Reasonable prices for the quality on sale

Excellent food, excellent service. Enjoyed my stay there. Highly recommended. I'd love to come back but I'm a tourist and leaving the area.

Just love this little place. Have been going for years. The array of cakes and pies is amazing. My favourite are the Cornish pasties and vaniilla slices. It is small and friendly and run by lovely.people. Would never go anywhere else when we visit Dunkeld

A traditional Scottish bakery with all the unhealthy treats you could hope for. The cafe section is cute and cosy. The prices are so cheap and the savoury pies we had were delicious. Love it!

On the Friday we got a Macorini pie and steak patie with an appl turnover and mint slice. It was a lunch to go. It was lovely. Before we left on the Saturday and nipped in for an apple turnover and fruit slice for after our tea. Good price and very nice.

My husband & I had a quick pitstop in Dunkeld enroute to Portpatrick. We had a coffee £1.95 & regular latte £2.25 here. We shared a quiche lorraine £3 & yummy rocky road @ £1.85. The traybake was so good, I got a mint slice to takeaway @ £1.30! Takeaway prices cheaper than sitting in. Would recommend if in the area!

The coffee was grim and looked like mud. The cakes were nice enough and reasonable priced. The staff asked us why we had asked for our goods to takeaway when we were sitting in. This was not the case but we promptly left as we felt uneasy. Wished we had chosen one of the many other coffee shops which seemed warmer, friendlier and had more attractive interior.

Only stopped to buy a steak pie for lunch. £1.80, delicious. It looked like what I know as a scotch pie because it had raised edges but had cut pieces of steak in a tasty rich gravy. On another visit I sampled their rhubarb pie which as also delicious.

Small cafe where we bought some pies to take away. Then we decided to have a cooked breakfast. Lovely! Had 3 breakfast's there in total and each time they were super. Friendly people running it and a pleasure to eat there.

Riquisimo todo, fuimos un par de veces, pues estaba casi frente a nuestro hotel y todo lo que probamos fue deliciosos, este pequeño lugar con todo casero y super fresco a excelentes precios, imperdible...

Visited here Sat morning before our hillwalking. Had a lovely breakfast. Very nice staff and probably the best caramel shortbreads we have EVER tasted. Wanted to go back on Sunday for me but unfortunately ran out of time. Will return some day!!!

Enjoyed a breakfast donut and custard danish with coffee here so much that we returned for lunch and shared a BLT sandwich on a fresh baguette. The young people behind the counter were very friendly and prices are super reasonable.

I visted The Country Bakery with my cat on 1 May 2018. I ordered an egg sandwich to take out. The manager would not let me bring my cat in.

We stopped here last Friday on our way north for a cuppa and a breakfast roll.

Our for an afternoon run through the exquisite small roads all over Angus and Perthshire, after a brief stop in Always Beautiful Blairgowrie, my wife and I alighted in Atholl Street, Dunkeld, in search of some sustenance untouched by corporate greed. We decided on the aptly titled "Country Bakery" as it looked as though it might fit the bill ... and, it did. We ordered light snacks each with tea and were served quickly and with the most charming and delicious hand-made food one could possibly hope for. The place is run by a lovely couple who take a pride in their fare and keep a very tight grip on their customers' needs ️ and further, their splendidly clean, well-decorated, dapper eaterie ... in that very lovely and busy tourist town.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for some lunch on arriving in Dunkeld. The staff were all very friendly and the service efficient. The food was nice (I had lentil soup and a chicken tikka roll, my boyfriend the cooked breakfast) although I do think a bit pricey in the case of the cooked breakfast-£7.50 and he didn't get as big a plate as expected for that price, although he did still enjoy it. The cafe itself is pretty basic but it was clean and there was a good deal of choice on the menu.

I stopped here briefly on my way into the Highlands. The staff was exceptionally welcoming. I had their spiced plum scone- the best I've ever had. If you're near Dunkeld, definitely pop in!

We popped in here for a late lunch and I had seen some good reviews on trip advisor so thought I would give it a shot. We were able to get a table just in the window and whilst it isnt table service after a couple of minutes someone was over asking what our order was. I have to say the menu is pricey - £6.5 for a pannini, you wouldn't pay that in a cafe in Edinburgh so not sure how they can get away with charging it in Dunkeld - obviously tourists pay for it. The cakes looked good but we didnt stop to have one.

Came in here for lunch on a cold winters day, had soup and a sandwich, service was quick, friendly though quite pricey for what is served and fairly basic surroundings

On a return visit to Dunkeld we popped in here for a takeaway lunch, and the only difficulty was in choosing what to have, as there is such a good range of savoury and sweet pies, cakes etc to choose from.

My partner and I have visited the Country Bakery on two separate visits to Dunkeld.

Stopped in for take away drinks, the hot chic was delish!!! Thank you The food behind the counter looked great, generous portions and very reasonably priced.

Paramos después de comer a tomarnos unos scones y unos pies de ruibarbo y estaban buenísimos. Muy recomendable.

Visitamos en el tour de una primerísima Dunkeld y el guía turístico altamente recomendado este lugar. Quizás mis expectativas eran muy altas, pero esta panadería/cafetería no está a la altura de ellos: - (los productos horneados eran buenas, pero una sonrisa, un hola o un adiós desde el personal detrás del mostrador hubiera sido agradable ir con el bollo.

Panadería perfecto en un día lluvioso - buen café y dulces y todo recién horneado. Sólo tomé café y tarta pero las quiches caseros y sopas parecía bueno.

Como dice, es principalmente una panadería pero hay algunas mesas en el interior. El personal es alegre y servicial y tratar con muchos visitantes de muchos países.

The friendly staff accommodated my family of six which included a baby and toddlerAnd four hungry adults.The home baked pies were amazing and the coffees were punching way above their weight !!We will definitely be back here in the future.Really nice to be in a cafe where everybody was keen to converse with each other, such was the relaxed atmosphere in this small but perfectly formed cafe.The newtons....

Stopped for dinner today and whilst the food was okay it was nothing to write home about, however it proved expensive. Over £25 for 2 adults and a child for basically a drink and a small snack. Certainly was not a friendly welcome and cramped and dated surroundings with order at the counter in an area of service at the table. There are much better places to eat in the area so don't think we shall be returning.

Based on a previous review we popped in to the Country Bakery to try their celebrated Bridies and Scotch pies. They were excellent, especially the mince an onion Bridie. Get a couple of warm ones to take away and eat them down by the river. Heaven!

Needed a pit stop on a 365 mile journey.FoodPanini-tasty and good value even at £6.95. Bridie i.e. meat pastie at £1.80 was exceptional value; full of tender steak. The mince and onion bridie taken away costing £1.50 was also delicious. £1.50 for a rhubarb pie was a steal-full of rhubarb chunks and not swamped in sugar, and coated with old fashioned crumbly pastry DrinkPot of tea was £2.20 yielding two cups, with a good proportion left over.CafeConsists of about 6 tables for two-might be crowded in summer timeMany of these products on display are of traditional style, and are very reasonably priced.Nice to see an old fashioned bakery-very rare in Greater Manchester where I live

Good coffee , yummy cakes and friendly staff , warm welcome , two coffee shops next to each other , both very good ,

Stopped here for a quick coffee, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety. They also offer different milks for coffee - which was excellent as my partner is lactose intolerant. Soya and almond milk was on the menu and also diary free cakes as well. Its these little things that make our day much easier! Also offers different flavours of pastries that you don't get at every bakery. I would put this above your standard bakery.Great, friendly service too.

Great place to stop and refuel after a morning walking the dog.....simply the best pies and bridies around, that was on our first day.....next day we enjoyed great toasties not to mention the coffee and tea

Great small bakery and cafe on Dunkeld main street. Good selection of their own baking and a range of popular pies.

Like Palmerston this is a great coffee shop with lovely hot pies and birdies. Immaculately clean and excellent service.Will be backBrian Christie

Popped in for lunch but was busy so Sat at the counter, didn't have to wait long for a table to become available. Really nice lunch, would recommend.

Popped in here for lunch, on a day out in the area. Food freshly cooked, I had a pannini and my husband had a baguette, both with salad amend two coffees.

We came by as a group of 8 earlier this week after a camping trip.Feeling tired, it was refreshing to get some quick hot food and some drinks. The staff were friendly, fairly quick. The location is handy and easy to get to, about 15 minutes walk from the station. I tried the mocha which was lovely and a ham and cheese panini which was nice and filling. Overall a place to try and revisit in the future.

Called in for breakfast. Made very welcome (even though it was 11am). Had a fry which was great. the selection of pies was amazing.

Time for early morning tea break on our travels. Popped in to Dunkeld with fingers crossed that a suitable establishments could be found.This bakery was welcoming. Managed to park almost in front - failing that there is a Pay & Display area about fifty metres along the street.Aroma in this clean cafe was lovely. Staff friendly.Scones and coffee great. Jam was some of the best I have had for a long time.Offerings for lunch looked inviting but schedule precluded a return for that meal.

We stopped in Dunkeld on with our tour group and decided to stop in at the bakery. There were many delicious treats to choose from and they all looked delicious! We ended up getting a couple different scones which were fantastic. Definitely worth a stop here!

We had lunch here wow cheap home cooked food portions large and all home made. Local staffFriendly staff

We were really impressed with this no nonsense bakery. Food looks very appetising and tastes great. The coffee is well made & full of flavour too.The highlight is the homemade quiches of which there were several varieties on offer. The place is very clean. There are only 5 tables.

While on a recent stay in Dunkeld, I discovered this nice little bakery where you can get good coffee and they have this lovely little quiches (which you can also takeaway and heat up). I got a salad also with my breakfast and their bakery goods are very nice. Get a yumyum and treat yourself :)

They charged 15p extra to heat a pie in microwave, which I think is just robbery, heating a pie would not cost much in microwave, pie wasn't that great when served ,,, , felt cheated

We chose this café as the food on offer was locally baked. The place appears to be popular with the locals which is always a good sign and it has a relaxed style which enables you to enjoy your food in peace. Nothing startling, just good food and pleasant staff.

Looking for a place close for Breakfast ,I read reviews for this delightful place.We are renting "Meikle Logie Cottage".5 met for 10 am,The quiche Lorain was absolutely delicious.I also ordered aScone(fruit) .This was fresh,light the way I had read a scone should be.My husband had a ? Spinach &fetta cheese with a flaky crust he said we would come back for he enjoyed very much.Tea was nice. Granddaughter . had a ham with Cheese Panini .Everything is fresh.A Busy small place but such good service a group of men came off a tour bus they were all served take out & was a timely manner .We did return for lunch Lentil soup was yum,there breads to go with the soup was again Freshly baked.I came close real close to ordering the same quiche I had eaten for Breakfast decided on a Panini with crisp ( normally comes with salad ) I just wasn't in the mood so crisp was mentioned. My grand ordered the quiche as I kept remarking to the lightness of the crust & how much I was enjoying mine. she really liked also she is 15.We have another week 10 min. Away we will go back.DON'T miss this spot on your trip to Dunkeld

Called in at the Country Bakery for snack , we ordered two chicken mayonnaise and bacon wraps . They came with a lovely side salad on the plate. They were delicious and full of chicken and bacon. A lovely strong pot of tea finished the visit nicely. Thanks to the staff for prompt service and friendly welcome.

Had a late breakfast brunch here recently. Scones, macaroni pie, quiche. The quiche was presented with a side salad. The scone with jam and butter. All tasted excellent and quickly served. Along with a hot chocolate and a mint tea. Newspapers to read while you wait as well. Recommended

Friendly service and very good pies, always stop in here for lunch when I am staying in Dunkeld/Birnam

In this country bakery, there are a few seats, where you can enjoy coffee, sandwhiches and soup. I had a nice coffee and a coffee cake. My friend had a soup. This took a little longer to prepare, but it was also nice. I really like the friendlyness of the staff and if I would not have only travelled with handluggage, I would have stocked up on very nice cooking ingredients in this shop.

Stopped here when passing through Dunkeld for tea and cakes. Everything was pleasant. Nice baked goods to buy at the counter. Have stopped here before and would do again.

We have stopped off for breakfast at this lovely little cafe for the past 7 years on our way up to the highlands. Small, compact a personable with lovely food, excellent price for a full Breakfast (don't us the work English here :-) I was reprimanded gently on my first trip, and with a little fun, for asking for a full English). We always leave feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Oh and on the way out you may want to pop in your pocket one of the many different Scotch Pies, quiches or baked products from the desert counter for later . Just delightful

Nice selection of cakes, pies etc. Also do a sit in or takeaway service. Friendly staff and very efficient.

We had soup and roll here in springtime on our way north. It's a small older-style bakery and tearoom, probably a bit cheaper than some of the other places on the main street. Some of the cakes on display looked very nice. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the soup, which tasted peculiar. The staff gave good customer service though.

I just stuck my head in here to buy some shortbread. It was fabulous. It was a tiny place and I didn't eat in, but it was very busy.

Good but small tea room almost more fridges than tables the place needs re-jigging / rearranging, on saying that the food and service was average but they could put more bean on their bake potato looked like only one a spoon full.. :+)

Our tour bus stopped in the town of Dunkeld for a quick stop before heading to a distillery. This bakery caught my eye will all his wonderful items in the display case. The Yum Yum pastry was better than any glazed donut bar I have ever encountered. The lemon square topped with coconut was simply divine! All the meat pies so sinful. This is definitely a place to check out while strolling the town.

Stopped for a wee culpa tea and a bite to eat whilst travelling back to the North.Service was quick and efficient as was the delivery of drinks to the table.The freshly baked scone was fab and the Vanilla slice was simply to die for, looking forward to a stoop whilst heading south.Its cheap n cheerful and meets a travellers needs.

Truly delicious freshly baked baguettes. really friendly and helpful service. But really difficult to park in Dunkeld. I would definitely recommend this wee shop.

we ordered a packed lunch for our group (50) ! so we had a wide range of sandwiches and cakes. Especially the Haggis rolls and shortbread are out of this world.So do stop by for lunch or pick up sandwiches, rolls and cakes to take wth you.

We happened upon this lovely little bakery/cafe as our usual stop off of the Alium Cafe at Ballinluig was closed (For good).We were delighted. Food was delicious and fresh. Huge range of lovely quiches and cakes. Vegetarian son was fully catered for. Lovely staff too. This is our new stopping off place. Went on way down from, and way back to, Inverness from Edinburgh.

We stopped here for lunch during our Scottish road trip last week. A decent selection of food and drink on offer; maybe slightly pricier than I'd expect for that part of the world, but then again, it is tourist country. Anyway, as I was paying the bill I said to the man "my great grandparents used to run a bakery in the town 100 years ago", which indeed they did. He then said "hold on, that lady over there knows all about the history of the town" and pointed me in the direction of the lady who lived next door and had just popped in for some soup. I explained to this lady that my great grandparents, the Jack's, ran a bakery in the town in the 1900s and she said "yes, they did, in this very building". A bit of a wow moment!

Very small sit in area so not very comfortable,tables close together.Maybe better as a takeaway venue only.

Probably the best scones we've had. Great little find on the main street, all freshly baked items and excellent value for money. Place was busy for a Wednesday afternoon which shows how good it is.

This cafe/bakers is quite small but the food it produces both for sit in or takeaway is very good indeed. It is only open till late afternoon so ideal for a snack at lunchtime.

My only regret is that I didn't purchase more of the pastries. We really enjoyed our taste of fresh Scottish pastries from this shop. I would love to visit Dunkeld again to shop at The Naked Sheep (across the street) and try so many more of the pastries!

We stopped here for breakfast and to use the toilet.The staff is very polite, the food was very good and fresh and the toilets very clean.

I took my family here when I saw the All Day Breakfast option on the menu and was not disappointed. There are a good range of options - the six of us made varied choices and enjoyed our meal. Pleasant, courteous service. If ever in Dunkeld again I will happily try their pies and pastries which looked tasty.The facilities were clean and the decor bright. One small toilet, but we had plenty of time so that was no problem.

We had lunch at the Bakery on our way to Pitlochry. We both had the leek and potato soup which was served with nice brown bread, this was followed bt coffee/tea, fruit scone and a tray bake.Staff were very nice, service was good and the crockery was lovely.We will go back!

We stopped in Dunkeld for lunch and chose The County Bakery. I had the macaroni quiche and the lentil soup. It was very good and served piping hot on nice china. Nice appointments for tea also. My husband had a cheese and ham panini and enjoyed it too. For dessert I had a triple chocolate shortbread and my husband had a mint bar. Both were freshly baked and delicious. It is a very small and quaint bakery/cafe. So refreshing compared to chain restaurants to which we are accustomed. I noticed they also prepare picnic lunches for people on the go. Nice touch. We found the restaurant to be clean, including the restroom. It was of course small but functional. I would recommend this restaurant for a tasty lunch.

All their lovely cakes and pastries, tried a few when on holiday at Dunkeld last week, very good. Also their scotch pies were very tasty as well

We were visiting dunked with family and fancied a coffee/tea/hot chocolate.we saw this place and it looked lovely.the staff were not very friendly.we also had our 4month old baby with us. I went to change my baby and was shocked to find a tiny toilet cubical with no changing facilities.this is not only for parents with babies but also for people with less mobility as there is no space to move in the toilets.when people come in with buggies you should be letting them know there is no changing facilities before you let them spend money.very disappointed!!!

If we fancy a pie, this is where we go! They have a nice selection of cakes and snack options and offer a picnicotion as well.

I am a local resident in Dunkeld, this morning I fancied a cooked breakfast and popped into the country 'bakery'. I ordered a full breakfast, pot of tea and a can of coca cola. My 'full breakfast' appeared 10 minutes later and consisted of two cheap pork sausages, tough to chew as they had quite obviously been reheated, two rashers of bacon which were cold to touch, covered in some kind of salty fatty sludge, one 'fried' egg, cooked by someone who can't cook an egg as the bottom was burnt into an inedible plastic like sheet. one large tomato, grilled on the very outside and completely raw on the inside and a healthy dollop of baked beans which were fine but then how wrong can you go with baked beans from a can? All of this was accompanied by three slices of toast. I decided to leave and got up to pay, asked how much and was left reeling when I heard "That'll be £10 please" It turns out that what passes for a full breakfast in the Country 'Bakery' Dunkeld costs no less than £6.80. That's £6.80 for some beans, 2 microwave reheated rashers of pre-cooked disgusting grimy bacon, 2 disgustingly tough and chewy pre-cooked microwave reheated cheap sausages, a raw tomato and a burnt egg. oh and some toast. Absolutely disgusting.

The meat pies here are amazing!! i came here straight after eating the the Indian restaurant on the opposite side of the same street, and got some satisfaction i had eaten some quality food :). Lovely staff, beautiful variety of food to try highly recommend it for food on the go, or a quick bite! ENJOY!

I have no complaints about the quality of the food, but I did have to send it back because the steak bridie's were cold in the middle.

bread scones apple tart were delish...pity I was on another diet.The range of home baked items was outstanding ....well done

Really nice range of pies - ate in, and bought some to take away too. Nice staff serving in the café too.

Stopped off in Dunkeld to see the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes, and came across this gem of a bakery cum cafe. So friendly staff, and a very yummy all day breakfast. Mouthwatering....

We were staying at a nearby caravan site over the Easter holidays and almost lived in this place!! With a husband and three kids in tow you need somewhere that's fast, friendly and catering for the varying needs of a young family - food must suit all and be as purse friendly as possible. This place met all these criteria. To be honest, I don't think any of us had the same thing twice. Excellent range of sandwiches, pies, quiche and cakes, not to mention their home made bread. The weather was good too!!!
