The Old Dairy Coffee Shop in Highland

Friendly welcome from staff. It’s not a store I would think to come to but I’m glad I popped in and found the Old Dairy coffee shop! Easy and free car parking is always a bonus! Good menu ,soups, All day breakfast, hot rolls, panini’s and great selection of home baked cakes on offer. Also my friend is Gluten free she had a full breakfast it even had gluten free haggis! She also took a gluten free scone home with her that she said was the Best she had ever tasted! Coffee is from the Inverness roasting company so always good to see a local company using another! We will be back very soon!

Feel a bit guilty for not reviewing this Coffee Shop after one of our many excellent visits. Fridays visit was very disappointing, maybe the fact that a normally heaving dining area was all but empty should have rang alarm bells. Tables were uncleared service was very slow, the egg on my breakfast was like rubber, in spite of it clearly not being touched we weren’t asked if we enjoyed our food. Yes I could have asked for a replacement egg however I figured out if it took as long to come out of the kitchen as the previous one it wasn’t going to be any better. I hope some staff training will bring this coffee shop back to its former glory or Friday was just a blip for some reason.

Nice for a coffee and bakery, or a bowl of soup but menu very limited for a lunch especially for dietary restrictions

This is an honest and unpretentious coffee shop and café, which is friendly, has efficient service and the food is always good. It's located in the Frank Nicol premises with easy parking right outside, and I'd recommend it to local folk and tourists alike.
