The Gather'n in Moray

Lovely welcoming wee cafe. We were looking for lunch when we arrived in Aberlour and came across this lovely cafe. The food was lovely. We had our dog with us and all the staff were so amazing to her. We were in 3 times in our weekend stay and each time our dog was given treats and made a fuss of which is a big thing for us as we felt very welcome there.

Delicious Pizzas! We ordered some takeaway Pizzas & loaded fries one Friday night as a wee treat. We ordered in the cafe, the service was nice and friendly and they were ready within 10-15 minutes, absolutely delicious and the portion of the loaded fries was nice and generous. Would totally recommend, very tasty!

Snug and cushy cafe with delicious sweets and snack. There is also breakfast. This is what I has yesterday. Amazing bot looks and taste. Typical Scottish breaftast, see picture. It a good find while drivind and looking for a bakery. Fully recomanded is you pass by.

Lovely quaint cafe. Enjoyed delicious cheese and chilli jam scone which was nicely warmed. Had tasty hot chocolates. Just what we needed on a rainy autumnal day.

Just a very pleasant place that serves an excellent cooked breakfast and light lunches. Friendly and accommodating staff. A must go to place when in Aberlour.

Really good burgers , very good service and great place.Would recommend.Good little shop merged in the cafe aswell.Great staff

Excellent full Scottish breakfast and the chocolate cake is the best I have ever tasted in the whole world. Quick and friendly service, very impressed.

We were wandering around Aberlour on a beautiful sunny day and decided to stop in here for a lunch. We wanted something a little bit different from a formal restaurant or bar lunch. The place is a little bit quirky, with lots of wee nik-naks and gifts to buy as well as have your breakfast or lunch there. The whole experience was really lovely and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were friendly and attentive and welcoming and the food was great with the good-sized portions. Would would definitely return.

Lovely food - had the avocado and feta salad. Friendly relaxed service and atmosphere Would recommend & will return Have a walk to the waterfalls up the road if you can

The service was okay, the waitress were nice and the service was quite fast. The decoration was really really cute, it’s a coffee in a small shop. The taste of the food was ok, not very good quality, not very good. The milkshakes were awfully not natural. The cookie was not very tasteful. Not bad food but nothing wow. The proportions were good The price quality ratio was soso, it is not very expensive but considering the quality… Ps: on the pictures the plates are already eaten

Gift shop looked nice but my coffee (Americano) was horrible. My daughter and I both had carrot cake, which we left half of. Someone should teach the young staff the meaning of 'hospitality'. It was service without a smile, I'm afraid.

Stopped here on a bike ride. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The coffee was delicious, the inside and vibes were lovely. Didn't eat anything but the cakes and menu looked nice.

Looked online for a breakfast place near our campsite and this looked most promising - reasonable prices, and pancakes for our veggie daughter. When we arrived all was still looking good - the cafe also has a woolshop vibe and nice shabby chic interior. We asked about pancakes - oh dear, they don't do those anymore said the slightly bored waitress. Nevermind, daughter ordered a mango smoothy and toast instead. Then looking at the menu we noticed that the prices were quite a bit more than the ones online. eg 12.95 for a full English rather than 9.95. Nevermind again - we're on holiday! Wife orders a cup of tea. It's £1 extra for Earl Grey (??? Why ???) It's also £1 extra for oat milk (???!!!!!!!!!!! Why?????) So a cup of tea turns out to be over £4 Breakfast arrives and looks distinctly average. Sausage isn't a nice butchers sausages but a smooth pink "meat" sausage the like of which I haven't seen since I camped with my parents in the 1970s. I will also eat my hat if my mushrooms weren't left over from yesterday. They could only be described as "wizened" even though we were the first customers of the day. I also ask the waiter who brings the food "is that my toast?" He looks confused. Apparently toast with the full English is an "extra" This is a first for me but I ask for some "extra" toast - I don't know what it cost but it was something. Meanwhile my wife has eggs on toast with roast cherry tomatoes - she gets 4 cherry tomatoes. My daughter's smoothie was undrinkable - I tried it - it seemed to be made of oats and ice. Perhaps it had been held near a mango. It was £7 and it was also served in a plastic takeaway cup - but we were eating in!?!!? Again, why would they do that? My coffee was nice. We didn't hang around to soak up the ambience and we didn't complain at the time because we didn't want to make the experience even worse, but we ended up paying over £45 for an average to V poor (the smoothie) breakfast and we felt as if we'd been had. Disappointing.

Beautiful food, the best coffee, lovely service and surroundings. Will definitely be back. 5 Stars

Dropped in looking for a coffee when passing through the area . The coffee was wonderful and the scones were amazing . It was warm , cosy and welcoming on a wet and miserable morning and the staff were great .

Called in whilst visiting the area. Overall very good. Had 1/2 soup & sandwich. Very good. Lovely warm welcome for us and the dogs. The dogs even got a couple of biscuits each. Lovely gesture much appreciated

Stopped in for lunch lovely fresh toasties with salad, wraps and tea. Excellent pit stop and happy to recommend

Cafe was busy when we stoped in past for lunch, the girls made us feel very welcome. The coffee was well worth it. (Plus the carrot cake)

We arrived at 3.35 pm. Told on entry that cafe shut at 4 pm and had we checked the website? No, we had got the shutting time of 4.30 pm from a Google search. Not believed until we had shown the info on our phone. Not asked how long we would be( we just wanted a hot drink and possibly a scone). Very unfriendly and unaccommodating. Instead of having 3 happy customers, we left vowing not to return. Shame, especially as we made a special detour based on previous reviews.

The cooked breakfast is absolutely amazing 100% recommended and really great value for money. The Bacon rolls are delicious 😋 would recommend going to this lovely cafe again. Got so much food for the money and everything is cooked to perfection.

I'm not one to complain but two breakfasts costing just short of £30 consisting of very poor quality, tasteless produce cooked I assume in the microwave was disappointing. The lady who served us was really lovely but whoever the lady was in the kitchen who came out and stressed she had a takeaway order to get ready was very rude! It could be a great little cafe in such a nice spot. We won't be visiting again and would sadly not recommend.

Best cakes ever made on site, Highly recomended. Service with a smile. Staff very friendly. Coffee was just spot on. Beautiful. Highly recommended melt in your mouth, well worth a visit. (Cakes so good i even got a take out for later)

£30 for two breakfasts and cups of tea is extortionate. The food all seemed to have just been warmed rather than cooked. Only ate the food to fill a hole. Service was quick enough but weren’t the friendliest. Stood at the till with no acknowledgement.

The soup saved the day. Coffee was bitter and panini was disappointing. Would return only for a tea and cake.

Tried to have a quick lunch here while on a small tour group (of three people). Five minutes after we'd placed our order the server came over and said they were busy and it would delayed. A nice coffee arrived quite quickly, but it took the best part of half an hour for the cheese and ham toastee to make it. The other two people on the tour had to cancel and get something from from a local shop, since they couldn't risk their soup order being so late they couldn't finish it before the bus left. The toastee iself was disappointingly small and came which no side of any kind, which was very poor value for the £8 it cost (plus another £4 for the coffee).

Enjoyed our two cakes, two coffees …but £14 is rather steep we thought. The cakes were nice and there was gluten free option(s). Coffee was nice too. But expensive.

Lovely lunch on a wet Scottish day. Plenty of gluten free options. Lovely environment and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

On the final day of our 5 days trip to Speyside, we opted to have breakfast at The Gather’n Cafe, Aberlour. What a treat! We were attended to by a very pleasant young lady who ensured we had everything necessary to enjoy our chosen breakfasts....

Absolutely fantastic lunch today. BLT sandwiches, side salad, coleslaw to die for! Followed with beautiful cakes. This was our first visit to the cafe and we will certainly go back. Served by such a lovely lady who said it was just her 2nd week working...

Really terrible food. We paid £30 for two kids lunches, one adult sandwich and a coffee. Poor quality food and they forgot half of the things that were meant to come with what we ordered.

Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, brilliant place to go to get out will be going back again

Fantastic food and lovely service! I have had the pleasure of coffee and lunch at The Gathering on many occassions. The staff are very friendly and the food is excellent. They are very accomodating and helpful. I also bought a cosy knitted hat here and...

Coffee and teas were made quickly but waited 25mins for 2 bacon rolls only to find the ipad link to the kitchen had failed so they were not aware of food orders, no update on delay so just walked out, poor service also a young...

Dropped in here pretty hungry, late afternoon on a cycle trip. The lady we spoke to very kindly checked if the kitchen could make club sandwiches for us and the answer was yes. I know my Club sandwiches and the one they made here was...

Great menu with lots of choice. Had the best veggie burger and chocolate milkshake with coconut milk. Lovely friendly service too. Will definitely be going back.

Think we were there at the same day as the non welcome dog contributor. Staff grumbling about dogs, and very slow service. Coffee and scones were good, although they forgot the order, and brought the wrong scones!!

We had such a tasty lunch passing through here early in our holiday we came back again later just for this cafe! As others have mentioned the cakes are to die for but we also enjoyed a tasty croque monsieur and bacon sandwich not to...

We travelled especially to this cafe as the reviews said it was dog friendly - apparently not if it’s raining! We had 2 x small dogs who had only walked from the car to the cafe - 100 yards. We were told that they don’t...

Lots of food choices. Gifts to browse. Knitting wool section. You can also take your well behaved dog in on a lead.

We ate in the restaurant twice . Both at lunch time. We had a takeaway sandwich and bought some cake & one evening had a takeaway pizza. All the food was excellent. Great taste & price. Services was also great. Can’t rate this place high...

Spotted in by for a snack. Was fresh warm and tasty. Parking was a bit difficult but that’s not a big issue if your out fir a walk like we were. Would highly recommend

Great place for a delicious lunch after a walk. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful - nothing was a bother. Our dog was gladly welcomed too. Highly recommend for a yummy lunch and delicious cake!! We only wish we had more time to...

Very friendly and welcoming. True Scottish hospitality..in its best sense. Coffee and ambience relaxing.Nothing too much bother.. quite refreshing attitude to making tourists welcome

A return visit certainly didn’t disappoint. Delicious lunch, followed a couple hours later by coffee and cake. Excellent friendly service, lovely interior and comfortable seating. Cullen Skink up there with the best we’ve had.

Brilliant panini lunch with the best side salad I’ve ever had in a cafe - so delicious! Lovely welcoming staff and tasty coffee and traybakes.

Was pleased to see the re-vamp of the cafe presumably to make the most of covers during Covid restrictions. Like the new stylish decor and felt as though staff had made great effort to make customers feel at ease. Excellent coffee and apple cake -...

The cafe is superb with some great home-bakes and excellent breakfasts. They now do pizzas and burgers in the evenings that are the best I've had (and I'm rather fussy) I can highly recommend! Oh yes just remembered the coffee is to die for!!

This is a wonderful place for excellent food and coffee. The staff are so friendly even going out of there way to provide the little things that mean a lot.

First time visit. This cafe/gift shop is on the main road through Aberlour and is well worth a visit. The staff are really friendly and the food is delicious. They also have a great selection of cakes that you can takeaway.

Great find while visiting Aberlour. Delicious light lunch with family . Warm welcome and excellent service.

Last night of our stay in the village so opted for takeaway to save cooking. One item was fine - the Gather'n Burger - but the veggie/gf one, to which had been really looking forward, was dire - tiny chewy tasteless burger in what looked...

We stopped here for breakfast while staying at the caravan park. Small place with plenty of things going on and many options. We had porridge and fruit, which was amazingly good one of the best ever had. Friendly place and like many struggling to make...

Très bon accueil, excellent café, laines, tricot et souvenirs. Thé tchai et café très bon. Possibilité de prendre de quoi...

I called in for pizza after 6pm on Saturday night. The pepperoni was seriously good, a nice crusty base without too much sauce but still loaded with flavour. I think they've just started doing evening pizzas so I hope its a success!

Drove past this cafe in the early evening on our way home and noticed it serves pizza to go. What a great find! Excellent pizza and a really nice cafe which we will return to. Very highly recommended.

Called in for breakfast and a coffee. Had the dog with us, Max was made most welcome. Owner was friendly and chatted a while. Food was high quality, bacon nice and thick, piping hot coffee and food. Prices are reasonable too. Would visit again soon.

Lovely coffee, soya milk and some vegan delights. Great nic nacks to buy and very friendly staff...:-)

This cafe/gift shop/craft workshop is situated conveniently in the centre of Aberlour. It has a great atmosphere and you can get good wholesome food ranging from tasty breakfasts to wholesome main meals. The cakes are delicious and the coffee excellent! My husband buys his coffee beans there.It also has a popular takeaway service. Highly recommended.

Awful !! Went in for a cuppy & some lunch. Ordered a wrap from their menu and the ‘lady’ at the counter was awful, so rude. Made to feel stupid purely because part of their menu board on the wall was illegible due to writing too much on there and it being squashed up. We got our food which was ok, nothing special but it was ok. The cafe allows dogs and a couple did indeed come in with their young dog. The woman at the counter rushed over and picked him up giving him a big cuddle and letting him lick her face & hands. This went on for a good few minutes before another customer came in so she returned to the counter and served them without washing her hands, fantastic food hygiene. The shop is nice with some lovely pieces for sale but as far as the cafe is concerned I was very much disappointed and would rather do without than visit here again.

Ob Kaffee-to-go oder Geschänkelädchen, oder für einen kurzen Snack - erstaunlich was dieses Cafe alles bietet. Von Suppen, Burger oder selbstgemachten Kuchen, Sandwiches Tee und Kaffee. Ich war heute zum zweiten mal hier auf ein Stück Kuchen mit einer Freundin und war wieder zufrieden. Die liebevolle Dekoration rundet das Wohlfühl-Gefühl ab. Brave Hunde darf man auch mitbringen, die mit einem kleinen Hundekeks begrüßt werden. Der einzige Nachteil, es ist zu "eng", es gibt zu wenig Sitzplätze.

Any place where locals tend to congregate always gives me a good feeling and helps me make my decision to visit. We were there for lunch and we enjoyed the salmon and cheese on a baguette and the chicken panini. The sandwiches and deserts came highly recommended from the tour guide at the Aberlour Distillery. This is a family run operation and seating is limited. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped in but here more by chance than by design. My wife had a cup of tea (nothing can really go wrong with tea!), I had 2 cups of Americano, as the coffee was wonderful and our son had orange juice. Home baked cakes are absolutely delicious... 2 slices of citrus sponge cake and one slice of carrot cake.... all cakes were lovely and moist.....

Had breakfast here on the Sunday after Dramathon. Veggie and egg/lorne bun. All good. Pleasant service. No complaints. Just to correct a previous reviewer who said cash only, yes of course they take card payments.

Really tasty cakes, good coffee, and excellent wi-fi so we could even download our daily papers etc.The cafe fascinates with its range of corners and rooms and eclectic variety of exhibits, crafts, and materials for sale. Go once and you’ll promise yourself to return. Go to the back and you’ll find more to see.

Excellent cafe and gift shop, dog friendly too so great as we had our dog with us. Had a lovely morning coffee then after a walk through the town went back for a mug of soup and sandwiches. Soup and sandwiches were superb, homemade soup in particular was outstanding. Very comfortable place, great atmosphere and lovely welcoming and friendly staff. Would definitely be going back if ever in Aberlour again.

Their homemade burgers are fantastic! Friendly staff, comfortable surroundings & great value food. The cakes are a sight to behold!

No complaints with this Cafe, a lovely welcome when you walk through the door, the Coffee & cakes are beautiful & fresh..... we had an all day breakfast, which was lovely & good value for money.... Cafe is comfortable & clean, it also sells wool & gifts - i find it very relaxing.......................

Stopped here for a quick bite. Homemade pea & ham soup was exactly what we were looking for. Damned tasty!

Nous y avons pris un thé et une tranche de lemon drizzle, très bon, à 20 min de la fermeture. L'endroit est très agréable et les gens autour de nous avaient l'air aussi satisfaits que nous de ce qu'ils avaient pris.

Arrived bedraggled after epic cycle along Speyside Way (bit sketchy on road bikes). Close to closing time and welcome was appreciated. Outstanding coffee, excellent food and, above all, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Très bonne adresse les plats sont frais bon le service rapide

Great wee cafe where the ladies serving were absolute first class to us (4 manky mountain bikers doing the Speyside way) last Friday. late lunch at 4pm and also helped us refill juice bottles etc. Great service....ps we made Grantown at just after 7pm after 6hrs biking. Dougie,Les,Iain and Taffy

This place has a lot to offer, but just stick to the goods you can buy.

After a rather soggy dog walk The Gather’n served much-needed delicious coffee, and Gina-dog thought the biscuits were fantastic and would like us to go back ASAP please! The home made soup and cakes make great lunches on work days, thank you Sarah and team.

This place seems quite odd at first glance - eating in the middle of a wool shop, surrounded by woollen things - but the service is good, fast and friendly and the food is really good - we've been blown away by two of their recent soups!

What a great find the service and food were excellent. A nice little gift shop also. Well worth stopping for lunch thanks.

We visited today around 3.45pm for a scone and a cup of tea.

Stopped for lunch. Good variety of foods including sandwiches, baked potato entrees, coffee and snacks, and much more. Very nice staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Take out also.

We had a coffee and some delicious carrot cake here one afternoon. It's a cute little cafe with a lot of crafty projects decorating it. The back is the 3 Bags Wool shop, which I enjoyed browsing after my coffee. They sell thrums, which are made from waste from the textile mills, and I think it's a fantastic idea. You can sew the strips together, or knit them with chunky needles, or weave them, and it's lovely stuff - I got a cashmere tartan design one for 10 pound that's destined to become a scarf. The woman behind the counter was friendly and chatty and pleasant.

Visited for the first time whilst holidaying in the area.

Yesterday was our 1st visit to The Gather'n in Aberlour, we were very impressed with the Café, the food was lovely, the staff were also lovely & helpful - although busy they were very attentive... the interior has lots of lovely craft goods for sale & a good selection of wool at the back of the café, plenty items of interest while waiting for your order, not that we had long to wait - the service was like the rest of the place - very efficient..... Will be going back ….oh one more thing the Coffee was fantastic …..

Rigtig fint udvalg af både europæiske retter, og egns retter. Der er en super hyggelig stemning, og rigtig flinkt/sødt personale - fin mad til pengene, og dejligt udvalg

Really nice little cafe. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming! Really quick service and the food was excellent.

great place for breakfast rolls in the morning on the way to work! opens at 8 so its very handy, staff are a great laugh and very friendly!

I popped in here for a spot of breakfast before walking around town and visiting the distillery, and I wasn't disappointed. The staff were friendly and the food was great, I highly recommend the big breakfast, it'll set you up for the day!

Warm welcome, nice food and delicious coffee. Will most certainly be back for more .

Ordered a veggie burger but when it finally came the chips were undercooked and I had to ask if the burger was indeed veggie as it looked and smelt like a beef burger. The lady assured me it was and even showed me a Linda McCartney box (I think it was cooked in the same oil as a previous customers beef burger though as it smelt of meat -yuk).

On holiday near Aberlour and called in for coffee several times. Really cheerful staff, and so welcoming. Also have a marvellous selection of wool and felting materials.

Der kleine, süße Laden zeichnet sich aus durch sein liebevoll gestaltetes Innere und die leckeren Köstlichkeiten.

Lovely Staff. Food came out amazing! Staff make you feel very welcome! Very pleased definitely be visiting again!

Stopped in for a cup of tea between distilleries. We were warmly welcomed and we had a good cuppa. There are lots of lovely nik naks all around the cafe to buy.

Small café and shop in the former Clydesdale Bank building in Aberlour. Warm welcome, freshly prepared food and variety of teas and coffees.

Stopped here for breakfast on the early May bank holiday - a cold snowy day as we gathered our energies for a start to the Speyside Way. Wonen folk ordered porridge with rasps which was perfect. The boys had bacon rolls. Everyone had superb coffees. A lovely place to stop. I could have stayed all day rather than face the cold outside. Lovely staff, great atmosphere, great comfort food. Just what was needed.

Nice place for a quick stop. Hot drinks are served in a cosy place with articles you can purchased all around.

I have visited a few times and never had bad service. Staff are friendly and happy to help with a lovely menu that is just that little bit different from your average place. It also has a great wool shop and loads of gifts - what is not to love!

We have just attempted to have lunch in this cafe. The staff seemed chaotic and

Cracking little cafe and shop. Enjoyed a coffee and food. Quick friendly service. Also little gifts on site.

Had a quick sandwich and coffee just before closing on a weekday. Both were good and the staff was nice. My only comment is that the eat in price was higher than takeaway which seemed odd.

We dropped in here for a late lunch after walking along the Speyside Way from Ballindalloch to Aberlour. A very quaint cafe with friendly staff and tasty food - my macaroni cheese was very good. Certainly a good place for lunch.

Visited this cafe whilst passing through Aberlour, we only ordered toasties as were informed this was all that was available at the time. Not sure if this is a regular occurrence or because it was getting close to the end of the day. However it would have been nice to have a little more choice. Staff were pleasant, food of average standard for price. Felt the cafe was difficult to relax in, tables very close together in the area we were seated.
