The Old Bakery in Highland

Fantastic cakes! The choc-nut slice is particularly good. Fantastic coffee too A really good place to stop off, very friendly host too

Fab dog friendly cafe! The Brie &’sun dried tomato quiches was gorgeous with a delicious side salad - all homemade and highly recommend

Good value lunch. Everything is homemade. Came in before noon for an easy lunch. We had the quiche of the day accompanied by a salad and coleslaw. Soup of the day with bread and butter. Very tasty. Pricing is decent. Not cheap but also not so expensive. We enjoyed the lunch and continued our journey in the Scottish Highlands.

Lovely home made quiche and desserts, espresso coffee also superb and really good friendly service. Well done

Great coffee and generous portions of delicious cake. Staff was friendly. Love the local art displayed on the walls

The best coffee and cake around. Highly recommended. Chatty, friendly staff. Love the rustic quirky look and artwork. The home baking really is out of this world. Delicious.

Really friendly welcome with most obliging staff. Small selection of great lunches, locally sourced quality ingredients, and a big selection of fresh baked scones & cakes. Fantastic (Cromarty roasted) coffee from top machine (& barista!) Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating, clean and arty surroundings - some painting etc for sale too. Obviously, a brilliant bicycle refreshment / “refuelling” stop. Highly recommended!

The Cafe is now called The Croft Cafe and serves fantastic coffee and home cooked, locally sourced food. Highly recommend a visit when you are in the area.

Dropped in whilst out exploring for coffee. We didn’t eat but my wife said the cakes looked awesome! The coffee was excellent and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Have no hesitation in recommending to others

Stopped while driving through…….great friend staff, fabulous food and best coffee we had all weekend. It doesn’t look great but one to give a try!

The Old Bakery is a longstanding Carrbridge eaterie, that came under new ownership / operation in spring '22, & is officially now The Croft Cafe at The Old Bakery, so a bit of a mix of naming which is still to be reflected on here. A bit of a mix in general, as it looks a bit tired & uninspiring from the outside, but is much more welcoming & interesting once inside. And likewise with a lesser menu on the outside than is on the tables inside. So perhaps not doing all they could to entice folk in, but definitely recommend stepping through that front door. Interior is pretty rustic, with a nice range of local artists' / crafters' work around the walls, & various foodstuffs from other small local producers also available. A table of lovely looking cakes & other bakes also greets you on arrival. Had an excellent breakfast, washed down with very good coffee, & finished off with one of the aforementioned bakes. Highly recommend! Apparently the owner also has a croft locally, so hence the name, but unless you overhear him speaking about this then it's not evident from the menu or general marketing. Seems like there's a great basis from which to build this place up, & hopefully they can knit all the pieces together in order to make a real go of what has the potential to be a really nice destination cafe with some good local provenance at it's heart.

Great Aussie welcome in the Highlands. Bacon roll, coffee should also be tried in addition to the amazing tasting and vfm venison burger. Open 7 days a week even in the winter. Four visits in our week at nearby Lochanhully. We’ll be back!

The best place to eat within Carrbridge! Had an absolutely delicious Venison burger and my partner had breakfast roll. During the 7 days we stayed nearby the 9 of us visited twice. All the food and items are handmade. You're sure to be well taken care of. Even bought some delicious Heavy Metal Jam!

Great coffee and bacon roll and very friendly service. Nice village too, so well worth a stop on your travels north or south.

Very cosy and friendly place. Stopped for coffee and a cake. Coffee and fruit scones were so good we had another coffee and shared an empire biscuit. They use Vandyke Brothers coffee from Cromarty that you buy as beans or ground coffee in the cafe. Will definitely come back when we’re in the area.

The Old Bakery in Carrbridge makes for a perfect stop when visiting the bridge, with it being the only cafe in the area it is really busy and the staff are fantastic. They have a wide variety on the menu from breakfast rolls, soup, quoche...

This little cafe is situated on main street in Carrbridge, several people enjoying their food in the sunshine outside with their dogs, we sat inside. There is a very nice selection on the main menu plus specials. We wanted coffee and something sweet, there was...

A real ‘oasis’ to find after 3 hours cycling. Local and homemade food of a very high standard. Lovely ambiance and very friendly staff. Thank you

Very busy little cafe with lovely friendly staff. Delicious scones!! Home baking selection was very tempting so will definitely be making a return visit. Would highly recommend this cafe.

Nice little cafe in the Center of Carrbridge village. We. Popped in for lunch on a cold day and had pea an ham and spiced bean soup. Served with bread and butter it warmed us up

This is now called The Croft Café very friendly helpful staff excellent wee coffee/tea snack café very clean and tidy I had a Bacon roll & coffee fantastic

Proper espresso, served in a pre-warmed cup, as it should be. Very good onion soup. Just off the A9, a good distance for a lunch stop after leaving John Ogroats this morning

Delicious coffee and amazing fresh homemade scones. Nice service. A good place for a stopover. I recommend

Delicious lunch, very friendly staff. Gluten free options available too! Will definitely be back next time we are in Carrbridge.

Tomato and basil quiche was super tasty £6.50 for quiche and salad and portion was very generous. Lovely coffee and assortment of home baking If your close on A9 stop off Well worth the detour

Friendly and nice cafe on a stop heading south on A9. Nice bacon roll. Prompt service. Latte was served in a glass with no handle, bizarre for a hot drink?

Just downright lovely. Good coffee, great food & excellent cakes, good value and GF/dairy free options, warm friendly staff. Smallish space but each table has plenty of room. Was here for take out coffee/cake and to sit in with my family, including a toddler &...

After a long journey, we stopped at Carrbridge for a light bite about 2.30pm and thought the Old Bakery looked ideal. We waited nearly 10 minutes whilst the customer before us got 2 drinks and a cake. The blackboard had soup of the day advertised...

This is now called Croft Cafe. What a find! En route 7 cycling tour through Scotland. We found this amazing culinary oasis with a warm welcome and excellent home cooking. We had a fantastic lunch. A must if you’re staying nearby or just passing through.

Wonderful meal. Perfect setting for a quaint lunch while touring the Scottish countryside. We had lentil soup and haggis and tattie pie finished off with a slice of chocolate cake topped with melted Cadbury crème eggs. (It was Easter Sunday). The owner chatted us up...

Stopped in by here this morning. The lady owner, an Australian, very friendly and welcoming. Excellent bacon roll and coffee, good value too.

We just stopped here for a light lunch. The leak & potato soup was excellent with served with good quality brown bread. Definitely worth seeking out.

A friendly small Bakery Shop just across the famous bridge.. With good Coffee and Great soup with a Cheese scone.

Not a bad cafe by any means however I think they may leave cakes out overnight and the breakfast was overpriced for what it was. However the staff here really are kind and friendly and Worth a visit for that alone.

Their signature soup ( basil and tomato) served with a cheese scone & butter, or bread, was nice and tasty. The scone also fresh, ample sized, and good cheese flavour. £4. Their coffee was good . Tried the gluten free carrot cake - also dairy...

A fantastic little bakery in this quiet little village, really enjoyed our breakfast here and would definitely recommend for anyone passing by.

Went here with 2 friends for lunch after stopping off to see the bridge and it was a great find. It was very busy when we arrived but we were able to get a table and the staff were very friendly, inside was very cosy...

A fantastic small bakery with a great breakfast, and kind friendly staff would highly recommend, this bakery and carrbridge in general.

...mais pas désagréable ! Arrêt "naturel" après avoir photographié le vieux pont à proximité (100 m). Boissons chaudes et gâteaux...

Had a breakfast here and cannot fault the service the staff were absolutely lovely! however the breakfast was not value for money

a great coffee and cake location, definitely nice for a chilled out afternoon they also have an outdoor seating area

A cosy, relaxed and unpolished coffee and craft shop with good coffee and some outstanding cakes. It could do with a bit of an update but is friendly and nice atmosphere

Charming, near the oldest bridge in Scotland. Food was wonderful, locally sourced. The service was attentive. Coffee was wonderful. Couldn't have had a better breakfast. Something for everyone. Vegetarian options available.

Just a wee tea stop and sampled delicious apple and cinnamon scones. Friendly staff and good qualty catering.

Café qui ne paie pas de mine lorsque l'on regarde la devanture, mais quelle surprise lorsque l'on pousse la porte...

This facility is billed as a bakery and coffee shop. While the atmosphere was cozy, there were surprisingly few pastries or baked goods!

My husband and I were passing through Carrbridge and stopped here for a quick lunch. We both had the leek and potato soup with a scone which were both delicious and filling with good sized portions.

We have called off at this cafe on a few occasions and it has been consistently good and very reasonably priced. We had soup and a scone for £4. It was excellent value. The soup was lentil and ham and there was a vegetarian option....

We enjoyed a latte and toastie and panni at the old bakery in Carrbridge. Very friendly staff, and welcome and atmosphere. Worth a visit. Good quality food and menu available at a reasonable cost.

Such a friendly cook who came to check we enjoyed our food personally. It was beautiful and the bread came out the oven that morning too. Nice clean and dog friendly too! So lovely, thank you!

Stopped in with friends while enjoying the Golden Spurtle competition. We had tea and i enjoyed a great flat white. We also enjoyed scones with cream and jam. Scones were superb. Definitely a place to visit, will be back for a meal.

I suggested to my husband this morning that we should try this breakfast café and boy was I in for a treat!!

Historic problems with previous owners can be a problem with a Tripadvisor scoring profile and this is a case in point. The current set-up is excellent.

Had cake n coffee here ,lovely relaxing place.Definatetly be back. LOVELY little place .Looking forward to next visit

went in for coffee, don't know if it is order at the counter, but we saw a waitress taking orders but no-one looked near us so we left

Stopped in for a couple of take away bacon rolls, staff friendly and the softest and most delightful white rolls, good quality bacon cooked to perfection, better than the supermarket stuff. To top it all off the homemade cakes are to die for, the lightest and tastiest victoria sponge filled with butter cream and Jam. I forgot how much I love this place

My wife, 2 daughters and I were staying in Carrbridge in July and visited here twice for breakfast. Food was excellent, service was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Cakes look to die for but given we had full scottish breakfast didn't manage to sample them!

Always worth a visit i would say. The cake is marvelous, we had Banana-Salted Caaramel and it was DE- wait for it -LICIOUS! The Coffee is very good and the staff is sooo nice, pleasant and friendly. You should visit the town and if so, visit this beautiful place!!!

I've visited this lovely little cafe, a few times in the last 2 weeks, (as it's at the halfway point on my 100+ mile cycle) an I have always found to be a fantastic wee spot, the food is delicious,staff are attentive and friendly, will be stopping here a lot more

A lovely cafe with a good selection of homemade cakes. Staff friendly and welcoming. You can use a card payment.

By far the best cafe I've been to in years.

What a lovely place! The staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. The portions were good also and I can highly recommend the home baking, the brownie I had today was out of this world!

Visited on 6 day cycle tour in Highlands. My wife had a scone and I had gluten-free lemon cake. We both found the food and the coffee excellent.

We stayed in the area for a week and had coffee and cake here twice. The outside is a bit dingy and the windows could do with a good clean but inside it was clean and tidy and the cakes were superb. There is a large cake choice and the ones we had were delicious. The service was nice and quick and very friendly.

We popped in for cakes to takeaway for a late dessert back at our accommodation . As always it took us ages to choose so opted for one slice of each flavour ! Coffee, banana, Victoria sponge and choccy cake. Absolutely delicious, generous portions and very filling! Yummy ! Thanks ladies ! Lovely sit down area inside too and dotted around with gifts for sale delightful to see.

Great wee place with great quality food & cakes,friendly staff in a nice very clean place,a must stop if you fancy a quick quality snack

With being in the Highlands of Scotland and the centre of miles of walks, you would think that majority of the places would be dog friendly. We called in one morning for coffee and was told that no dogs allowed, and the place was empty.

Friendly staff, excellent coffee and cake adds up to a very enjoyable coffee break. I would recommend a visit.

Came recommended by the local shop as it was cheap and that suited me for that day as was in the middle of a cycle from Inverness to Pitlochry. A bit slow to be acknowledged, but nice food and drinks when they arrived. Relaxed atmosphere, but they could improve on food smells

Good food and good service they were not fazed by quite a large group of us all the food provided quickly without fuss.

It was mid afternoon and we only wanted a drink an a sandwich. The drinks came fairly quickly but we were finished them before our toasted sandwiches arrived! I had to ask twice were they were with no explanation what so long. It appeared to us that that the take away took preference to sit in? Or maybe they just couldn’t cope

Stopped for lunch after a ride with Carrbridge Carriage Driving. Lovely home made soup, cheese scones and pancakes. Very reasonably priced. We live nearby so will definitely visit again.

Excellent cafe/restaurant , with a great selection of snacks and an even better selection of cakes! , which are made by the Bakery staff themselves. Cheery staff and quick efficient service. Good atmosphere

Dies Lokal kann man sehr gut zum Kaffee oder Tee trinken wählen. Die Bedienung ist auch sehr gut drauf. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Even een middag snack. Koffie en gebak waren lekker en niet duur.Ondanks drukte tijdens het Carve Carrbridge festival snelle en...

Popped in for lunch and it was gorgeous, fab, friendly staff, clean and comfortable surroundings. I had the mushroom soup...

Café y pasteles. Buena selección y muy reciente. Relajado, pero el servicio un poco lento en reconocer las llegadas y no ofrecía un asiento. No vuelva. Gran relación calidad-precio y lo recomendaría.

Los mejores tortitas con bacon y maple syprup y café en la zona. Gran personal nada es demasiado problema. Recomiendo una visita.

Auf der Fahrt von Tain nach Edinburgh haben wir hier einen Stopp eingelegt.

Large group stopped by in need of coffee - very helpful staff.Also extremely good cakes!Would definitely stop here again. Recommended.

Popped in for a bite to eat at lunchtime and found it to be very good. A nice selection of hot and cold food, plus excellent cakes and scones. Good service and very clean. A nice little cafe in a lovely part of the Highlands

As the headline says, me and my friend visited here for pancakes.The service from the ladies was great and the food also!Reasonably priced and worth a visit!

Great to visit for lunch or afternoon tea the menu is quite varied good customer service will visit again

Lovely coffee and fabulous millionaire shortbread!! The shop also sells some lovely home made crafts

I had visited about 10 years ago with some friends, so vaguely recalled it from that time, and it was just as good as I remembered. Other half had a toastie and I had some lovely soup and a sandwich, finished off by some terrific homebaking. Good selection of toasties, baked potatoes, rolls etc on the menu. Friendly quick service, and good value for money.

We visited here on Friday 17th Feb as we wanted sandwiches for our train trip home. Absolutely delicious, lovely bread and filling plus millionaire's shortbread out of this world.

Popped in late afternoon for coffee and cake whilst on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Delicious cake which we shared. A few craft and gift items for sale. Friendly staff.

This is a nice wee café in the centre of the village offering all the usual things at reasonable prices.

Les serveuses sont très polie et adorable, de plus très jolie :-) ! Pancake très bon et peu chère. Bonne continuation a vous !

On entering the bakery I nearly fell over....I was greeted by the previous owner in a boiler suit!! OMG - images of industrial catering and bodily noises returned....just for a moment!! Fortunately, he was buying a bacon roll and sanity (and safety) resumed. Great atmosphere; friendly staff; excellent cake selection and a super 'all day breakfast'. Also bought some superb homemade rhubarb & ginger jam!!

Used to visit regularly before the previous owner decided that customer service - of any sort - was NOT on the menu!! Gone is the ludicrous amount of useless tat that covered the place and the industrial noises coming from the kitchen - AND the tables are clean and crumb/egg/bacon free!!WELL DONE to the new lady owner who provides excellent food and cake in a very welcoming environment.This is how it should be done!!

My husband and I were passing through Carrbridge on the way back home. We were last here 2/3 years ago and vowed never to return after poor service and hearing a male constantly "swearing" both in the back and when dealing with other customers. However, after todays visit we were very pleased we stopped off here since it is now under some new management/owners.On this occasion we were greeted with a warm hello, lovely smile, friendly approach and take a seat. We are normal people, we aren't royalty but what a difference this makes. The lovely blonde haired lady who served us brought us our chosen order. Coffee that was hot, tasty and strong - not like dishwater. A lovely freshly prepared sandwich (made in our presence). Chicken and plenty of it in soft fresh bread with a nice side salad. My husband had tuna in a warm baguette, likewise this was delicious, warm and freshly made not stale or lacking in filling. To finish we had the spiced apple cake which was as equally delicious. Thank you for restoring our faith in being able to visit Carrbridge again en route to reli's in Aviemore and stop for a coffee and cake where it is a pleasure to do so as well as enjoy the food.

There is a warm and inviting atmosphere and plenty of elbow room in this tea / coffee shop. Decaf tea and coffee were available and a splendid selection of cakes and scones were on display. I had the gluten free carrot cake - nice taste and a huge slice! They do more substantial eats too. As with many rural teashops in tourist areas they do some gifty items too. Unlike most of these gifts theirs were substantial, useful and well priced. I picked up a very solid leather belt from loch ness leather for £15.

Lovely friendly, warm coffee shop. Particularly enjoyed the cheese scones and the coffee cake! Lots of lovely handmade gifts for sale as well.

We drove through Carrbridge on the off chance of finding lunch and there was The Old Bakery. Compact but cosy and very welcoming.The soup was wonderful and the sandwiches really tasty. They also sell some unusual gift itemsWe would definitely go again.

Wonderful little find for a hot cuppa , soup and home bakes in the quaint setting of Carrbridge . Nifty little shop also selling some unique gifts . Food was top class and very friendly service with a smile and cheery chat .

After a house fire in our village where the family lost everything, paige, the owner, offered the old bakery as a drop off point for donations of clothes, toys, etc.It's lovey to see our community spirit in action as we munch into our breakfasts, lunches and coffees.Thank you paige. ❤

Spending the day in Carrbridge watching the World Porridge Championships we went looking for somewhere for a cup of coffee, and came across the Old Bakery. It is not big but clean and welcoming. My daughter had tea and a scone there was a choice of plain, fruit or cheese.The scone was delicious I opted for the Coffee and Honey flapjack and the lady said it was a new recipe she was trying out, it was also delicious. We returned later in the day for a light lunch the place was busy with seating inside and out. This time we opted for the roll sausage and egg and Brie panini again both were very nice. My camera battery was running very low and they allowed me to charge it behind the counter without hesitation. We enjoyed our visit here and would return again and sample more of their delicious baking.

I particularly like this coffee shop for one simple reason. My Border Terrier was allowed to come in while they were making the coffee. Considering that it was raining outside this was especially appreciated.The staff were friendly and efficient and the coffee was excellent.
