The Store - Launderette & Cafe in Highland

Very unexpected, unusual, friendly little cafe. Great food good value, a definite stop for food if you are going through. Perfect beach only 400m away. All worth a visit.

Lovely place to stop and have some great food.Really tasty chicken,nachos and spicy cheese.Big portions and great coffee next to a roaring fire.Good chat about Whisky highly recommended.

From start to finish the visit was incredibly memorable and special. The food choice was staggering, the food yummy and incredibly generously portioned. The most abiding memory was the genuinely welcoming and friendly staff. BRAVO…….a must breakfast/lunch or coffee & cake stop on the NC500 !!!❤️Love Michelle & Jeff

The store cafe in Bettyhill is a wee gem. We have been a couple of times now and I am always impressed. The decor is wondeful, full of little knick knacks and curios to look at while you wait on the food to arrive. All the food we have eaten there was superb. Generous portions of local produce and meats all beautifull cooked. There is a cosy wee bar and a snug corner for those wanting a quiet drink. The staff were great, very welcoming, even cooking us a dinner without complaint when we arrived quite close to the cutoff point for food. All in all if you are in the area or doing the NC500 then this is a great place to eat and drink. Gary.

We came across this place after a visit to Farr Beach and absolutely loved it! Food, vibe everything was perfect would highly recommend to all.

Brilliant place for a good feed in Bettyhill. Good selection of burgers, lots of drinks and super friendly staff. Lovely warm fire after a long day cycling in the rain. Would definitely recommend

We stopped for breakfast. Loved the building and the food. There are about four tables outside and quite a few indoors. The food was excellent quality. Great coffee, too. I would have loved to have gone back for another meal, but we were just passing through.

Tutto squisito! Per pranzo abbiamo voluto provare il seafood platter e il panino scottish laddle. Che prelibatezza! Il patè di sgombro meraviglioso, mentre la coleslaw divina. Il panino superbo. Complimenti!

What a find! Wonderful friendly atmosphere, great food( the mackerel pate was so tasty and wonderful cake selection) and very reasonably priced! The best coffee for miles and miles…. I imagine it would be a good evening out if we were staying close enough.

Super friendly. Fantastic atmosphere, great food. Lovely cold beer after a long days drive. Seafood platter excellent. Very dog friendly. Polite friendly service. Would defo revisit Parked right outside for the night. Bikes, push bikes cars and campers all welcome by the looks of it. Dog friendly Shop just up the road if needed 10/10

Called here whilst on the NC500 after going to Farr Beach. Lovely quaint cafe with super friendly staff. I managed a choice of 2 gluten free cakes, a brownie and carrot cake. I plumbed for the carrot cake which was delicious. The menu can be adapted for gluten free too. Coffee was very good. Highly recommend.

We visited for lunch. Busy cafe . Greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. Great selection of food including cakes. Food is excellent, well presented and substantial. Will we go back? Yes we will

Doing the NC500 and stopped at this quirky very busy cafe. They were very friendly and efficient. My husband had a brief,cranberry and bacon toasty which he said was the best he has ever had. I had a fantastic jacket potato with cheese and beans. Super food and we thoroughly recommend it.

I visited The Store Cafe today for the first time with my partner and his Mum, and we were very impressed! We’d come a drive from Wick for a change of scenery on Easter Sunday, and had decided to book as my brother had recommended the Cafe. We weren’t disappointed! My partner and I both had the Lavish Larry burger and his Mum the CCB burger. I had a hot chocolate afterwards and we bought some cakes to take home. The food was delicious, and the waiter very friendly and helpful. The surroundings were so quirky too! I love places like that, with lots of knick knacks to look at! I especially loved the fiddle above the door! The view was astounding too. All in all, a great cafe and I’d definitely go back!

You know somewhere is really good when you drop in for lunch and spend half the time you're there planning what you're going to have when you come back the following day for breakfast... The Store is exactly the sort of place you hope to stumble across on holiday but so rarely do. Unpretentious, effortlessly cool, but clearly in the hands of people who know exactly what they're doing when it comes to brilliant service and fantastic food. A real treat.

Well worth the trip from Durness, some stunning scenery on the way. A great welcome, which is always a good sign. Very extensive menu and something on there for everyone. We ordered the spicy chicken burger, which was huge and very tasty, a prawn sandwich and fries, with a salad and coleslaw, which was all very fresh and tasty, the large Yorkshire with roast pork, Sunday roast on a Monday, and damn fine it was too. We also ordered the tomato soup, very rustic and a meal in a bowl, with the ploughman's, which was huge. The portions were very big, we could have shared, but we didn't want to!!! Very good quality food, and a very very pleasant atmosphere too. We would thoroughly recommend a visit.

We were desperate, couldn’t find anywhere for lunch but this was definitely worth waiting for. Fab food, friendly service, lovely ambience and a log fire. Make the effort to find this place ( we did take a wrong turn), it’ll be worth it.

We were in the area for the weekend and visited Bettyhill for the lovely Farr Beach, and were delighted to come across The Store. We popped in initially just for tea/coffee but gave in to temptation when we saw the wonderful selection of home-baking! The interior is quirky, cosy, and welcoming and you can have fun spotting all the vintage items stored on the shelves. After exploring we returned later on for lunch, which was excellent. We had the Halloumi burger and Store Burger respectively, both of which were delicious and came with a mountain of fries! We honestly couldn't fault a thing and the food and the welcome you receive was excellent. It was great to see it so busy in February too, as you often struggle up here to find places open out of season. We'll definitely be back when we're next passing by!

Chanced upon this little gem this morning as we drove along the North Coast. What an incredible find. A fabulous menu and everywhere you looked curios, crafts for sale, cake, fudge, books...a friendly atmosphere like nowhere else. On top of this a Bar! If you're passing don't miss it.

When they say open 365 days…they mean it! When they say 0900 opening…they mean that too!!! An oasis of munchies, coffee and heat…on the NC500find this place and visit…definitely!!!

Yummy food, friendly service, very kind to children. Full of that crofting community rustic charm. No silver service here, but just perfect Highland hospitality! Thank you ❤️

5 city folk popped in for a meal. Not expecting how wonderful this place is. The food was amazing, you could tell it was all freshly cooked and hand prepared. Burgers and Halloumi Salad! THANK YOU! Ps best hand cut chips (triple fried??) we’ve ever had!

Wow ! I don’t know how to describe this place . It’s a shop , cafe , and bar . We had the most generous welcome and the food was amazing . The staff were brilliant , and we sat by the real fire playing snakes and ladders on our NC500 trip . Please call in and see for your self how great this place is .

We saw signs for The Store on the main road while doing the NC500 and decided to stop for some lunch. Its nicely sign posted so we just followed the signs. When we arrived we had a lovely welcome and we're made to feel at home. Inside it has a lovely feel and they had the log burner going so it was quite cosy. We both had the burger which was huge and came with a large pile of fries. They have a great selection of home made cakes which we indulged in. All in all a lovely visit and would highly recommend, we were made to feel welcome and the food was fantastic.

On a wet and windy October day , en route from Ullapool to Orkney, after miles of wilderness, what a warm and friendly welcome A roaring log fire, excellent coffee and the best smoked salmon sandwiches we have ever had Lovely team running the cafe but special mention to the excellent junior waitresses Do not miss this joyous place just off the main road

So easy to miss a modest restaurant like this but don't. The internal decor is eclectic the menu and beverages fantastic and servings too generous.

Live locally(Thurso) had fish n chips once,fabulous and coffee and cake several times. Booked evening meal tonight, my 62nd birthday. We had the surf n turf wonderful fresh local lobster,lovely fillet steak ,great chips and trimmings. A huge plateful , best meal I've had for a long time. Highly recommended a wee gem in the North West corner of Scotland.

We first came to the Store a few years ago, and fell greedily upon their perfect home made soup and toasties. Today was a leisurely lunch kind of day, so we decided to kick back and share the seafood platter for two. What a good choice! Spanking fresh, fabulously prepared, lots to go at. The herring was great, nice and strong on the dill. Oodles of little pink prawns, sweet and salty; generous slices of smoked salmon, and perfect smoky nackerel paté. Good bread and splendid salad, with extra points for a smashing slaw. This was plenty enough gor two, but we're greedy hogs and had a bowl of chips, too. All washed down with lashings of hot, strong tea in a proper Brown Betty tea pot, too. This place absolutely deserves to thrive; it's a glorious addition to its community, and treats the NC500 tourists fairly and with warmth and hospitality. Maybe leave room for stunning cakes, and perhaps splash out on a bottle of local Ice and Fire gin...

Loved loved loved this place. It was incredible--so much to look at on the shelves around us and delicious homey food to eat (even for our gluten-free son). Everyone dining at this small place seemed so happy--we chatted with another traveler, whose dog sat quietly and happily in the corner, welcomed by the staff and greeted by all the diners. The perfect stop!

Lovely food - ambiance and service was really good - home cooked soup with croutons was great - would definitely recommend and return for a full meal

A really impressive range of choices on the menu. We chose the soup and toasted sandwich, and the seafood platter ! I have to say the platter was one of the best ever, so fresh, tasty and filling (we had to take some with us in their handy takeaway boxes). A great little spot, well worth a visit.

Called in for a coffee, but decided on soup and sandwich and not disappointed, sandwich creamed full of filling, soup piping hot, freshly made. Pity were only passing through as dinner menu looked fab, great stop and refill,

OMG a hidden gem in the north coast! Stopped by for lunch - little drizzly so inside seating available - great atmosphere and the food menu all looked amazing but we settled for a toasted sandwich and the halloumi panini! Sooo good we didn’t have...

Very convenient stop for a drink, cake or lunch. Fast, efficient, welcoming service. Well worth a stop if running through Betty Hill.

The Bettyhill cafe and store is a fantastic little place. The people that run it were very friendly, and helpful, to be honest i was expecting a separate store from the cafe, but the fact the cafe is actually in the shop made it all...

Amazing food, really delicious and fantastic service. Great place to stop and enjoy the view. The hot chocolate was wonderful.

Absolutely lovely cafe also with beautiful gifts. Wish we could have stayed longer at the roaring fire/burner. Lovely staff, hot chocolates, cakes and much more.

Walked to this cafe when staying in Bettyhill at the little campsite. It was quite late on Sunday afternoon and they weren’t serving food but there was a function on and the hostess had served Cheesy chips for the party. We were very kindly offered...

Close to the NC500 and busy little cafe. We ordered two vegetable soups, and a chocolate tiffin. Friendly and efficient service. Unfortunately the soup was tasteless and both of us unable to eat it. However the Tiffin was most enjoyable.

This place is certainly like stepping back in time. It is so unique. The waitress was friendly and the service was great. It serves fresh wholesome cooked food. Couldn’t resist the lovely cakes that were on display and took some back with us to our...

Only 3 coffees and a visit to the toilet. To use the loo, you had to be desparate. Drove away and when we started to drink, all three tasted just weird! Poured them all on the side of the road

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly, we love it ❤️😍🎶 We recommend it absolutely to everyone!!!! Thank you so much ladies for the best brunch ever!!!!

4 of us called into this cafe for a late lunch of soup and toastie and it hit the spot. Good food, great friendly service and a wee oasis between Durness and Thurso. Well recommended.

We stayed locally and at breakfast some of our neighbours said..go to the store..We paid attention half heartedly but rsturning to Bettyhill at 1400 hadnt had a coffee in 5 hrs never mind a toilet stop. We called in..and it was a great experience. They...

We stumbled across this fantastic little gem, would definitely recommend, food is 10 out of 10, they were short staffed and busy but the girls made sure every customer was greeted and got the orders out quickly

My partner and I had an amazing brunch here, sat outside with insane views over the coast. It was my partners birthday and I can't thank Joanne enough for all her help, even letting us pre order the food and telling me that they could...

Stopped here for breakfast and the service was delightful and the food was really good. We had the cooked breakfast and it was perfect. It's also (and probably originally always was) a general store and has everything from gifts to camping essentials. Would recommend if...

Came here for lunch yesterday and the revive was great! Lovely food and quick service which was great after a few hours of travelling!

Fantastic service from the staff. Great range of food and home baking 😋 also local arts and crafts for sale. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Stopped here on our way to Farr beach with kids and dog. Fresh food, friendly staff and a dangerously wide selection of cakes. Plus a a bowl of water and loads of admiration for our dog. Highly recommended for a welcome break from the road

Nice stop for lunch. Great selection from the menu and local produce for sale as well. Can sit inside or outside. Very friendly staff were spot on.

Visited for lunch and enjoyed lovely homemade soup and sandwiches, baked potato etc. Vegans appeared to be well catered for as I was offered several options that could be made for me.it was busy and we sat outside which that day was a bit chilly! Inside most seating seems to be on high stools which is not so good for old ladies like me, though there are some other seats and some sofas. The service was efficient and friendly despite being busy.

This café is so cute & quirky! The best thing that happened to us today after a very long motorbike ride…situated pretty much in the middle of nowhere yet packed with everything! So glad we found this café! The food and desserts were to die for - Ridiculously yum we cleaned our plates! Superb service by Karen. Thank you so much ! ;) We will definitely be back again 100%!

Fantastic little cafe, in the centre of the village. Opened early today at 10.00, great coffee, bacon rolls , cosy atmosphere and hard working lovely staff

We were on a driving holiday and needed something for lunch and being at the very top of Scotland we weren’t sure if we’d find anything, but looking on Google my partner saw this place and we were both really surprised! A lovely selection of sandwiches, panini’s, cakes and drinks were available and staff were really lovely too and All with a super view too!

What a fantastic spot. Fiona is lovely and really helpful with travel tips and a chocolate orange cake to die for. Perfect spot for a pit stop with great views. Love this land 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍

We stopped here while doing the nc500. Very pleasant staff. Menu were being printed so was verbally told what was on offer.Had an amazing haggis and cheese toastie as well as a fresh blt sandwich. Great food and highly recommended you stop here on your tour.

This an unusual cafe/bar for a snack on the only road around the north of Scotland It has a touch of the vintage shop

Delicious Haggis, bacon and brie panini served appealingly on a white plate with a fresh garnish of salad and crispy tortilla chips. Quick service. Very friendly, interested staff with happy smiling faces. A lovely welcoming environment. Good coffee. Will definitely return

Dared to venture onto the dreaded NC500 for a run from home in Alness up to Tongue, diverted to Bettyhill looking for somewhere for Lunch and stumbled upon The Store Cafe....good choice.A fine range of items for Lunch on offer, went for Bacon, Brie and Haggis Panini, a good test of an establishment I find.Coffee was fery nice, served promptly before we ordered our food.Panini served with a very nice tasty side salad, good amounts of contents, very very tasty...!!!Very well worth the detour, in fact well worth the journey here from Alness just to sample some more of the fine fare!Nice little booths as well so very Covid safe and cosy.Good job all, keep up the good work!Top marks all round.

A delicious stop in Bettyhill. We had yummy sandwiches and drinks and a lovely little rest on our NC500 adventure Felt very covid secure

we stopped here on 1st November after driving from Ullapool. We drove for about 100 miles looking for somewhere to stop for food! By the time we found this little gem we were starving! This wee shop/cafe is so quirky and cosy with a huge log burning stove. We had homemade tomato soup which was delicious. They also sell a huge range of gin, vodka, wine, woolly hats and various other things! To top it off, the lovely lady working on Sunday (sorry I don't know her name) bought us a bottle of wine as a gift as we are on our honeymoon. We were blown away by this very thoughtful gesture, thank you so much :-)

The most delicious hot chocolate i have had in ages. Lovely, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through Bettyhill

Stopped here for coffee and cake after a walk on Farr Beach. Lovely, delicious homemade cake and a NC place to chat to the locals. Helpful and lively friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Called in on a cycle tour of the Far North, Disappointed to see they weren’t operating as a cafe when I visited but understandable in the circumstances. Had some wonderful cake and a welcome brew. Lovely to sit outside in such a wonderful setting

Wonderful local centre for the village. Excellent coffee and food with a real sense of belonging! Felt like a local!

Welcoming staff. Delicious cake. Great value. A lovely place to stop off if you are on the North Coast 500

Although small, this café is a great little place to stop for a tea, coffee and a bite to eat. Staff are freindly and helpful. It is situated just off the main road through Bettyhill but a roadside sign points you in the right direction. Well worth a visit.

I visited The Store Cafe today. I was in Bettyhill for a group. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich, fruit drink, Scottish shortbread and a piece of chocolate cake. The food is excellent. The two young ladies that served me were polite and knowledgeable. The Store Cafe has a help yourself for sweets and drinks. They also sell knitted items and books. I would recommend a visit. The Store Cafe is one of the best I have been to.

opped off here in Bettyhill whilst on our NC500 trip on the way to our accommodation in Tongue. Lovely quaint little cafe with friendly welcoming staff. We both had a panini and a hot drink both of which we were able to help ourselves to and make our own from the fridge/facilities there. I did order two paninis but one only came out, after a few minutes I double checked the second panini had gone through and it hadn’t. The staff were very apologetic and it’s an easy misunderstanding to make!!! Friendly place and decent price with yummy home made food! Your potato salad and coleslaw was GORGEOUS! Was going to have some cake but was stuffed! Would definitely recommend.

This isn't a tourist trap - whilst you won't find afternoon tea you will find warmth, value and honesty. Great selection and presentation on the food front especially for the limited resources and the cakes look yummy.It truly is like an extension of your sitting room you will feel that comfortable. Oh, and during the off-season it is full of locals, a sure tell tale of a good cafe!

What a fabulous little gem this is! It’s warm and cosy and packed with lovely food and drinks and craft pieces to buy. We were so impressed by the friendly staff and the fact that we could serve ourselves and pay on leaving - how trusting is that!

Came to the cafe to get a warm cuppa with the family after a good beach walk. I only expected to get a coffee but they had lots of gluten free treats!I had a lovely slice of carrot cake and the kids had chocolate cake and tiffin. Really yummy, braw setting with nice coffee. The prices were very reasonable too.I'd definitely recommend for a stop off!
