The Wild Flour in Highland

I’ve been coming to Wild Flour for many years on holiday, I have never been disappointed. I can definitely say that the cakes and soups are amazing. There’s an extensive menu but I never get further than those, I’m sure that the rest will be as good. Quirky and pretty decor with local paintings available to buy, plus locally made crafts and gifts. A true treasure. Also dog friendly.

Leckeres Cafe mit kleinen Snacks und feinen Kuchen. Wir waren zweimal dort - einmal für ein spätes Mittagessen und einmal für Kaffee und Kuchen - beide male tiptop :-)

A nice cafe, good soup, amazing cheese scones. One of us had a loaded baked sweet potato and it was great- a unique option for a cafe. Baby friendly with a good high chair and changing table. We sat and watched the garden through the window.

Found this place on the off chance in the town. Really nice thoughtful menu with lots of specials and veg options. Excellent cake. Lovely decor in the back room with wildlife and scenic paintings. Pet friendly with our Labrador. Definitely go back again.

We ALWAYS make a beeline for The Wild Flour when heading further north or staying locally. The food here is tremendous and the staff are so lovely. You really have to try it to believe my review, you won’t be disappointed. It is such a nice place for lunch or just a brew and a homemade cake.

Si vous passez dans le coin, arrêtez vous.... personnel sympathique, déco ésotérique et délicieux gâteaux à déguster à l'intérieur ou dans une petite cour.

Stopped here on way to Inverness, what a lovely find. Pleasent cafe and outdoor area at the rear. Food was very good and well presented. Staff very friendly and down to earth. Would highly recommend and wiil drop in on way back south next week.

Chanced upon this wee cracker of a place whilst heading up to Aviemore for a short break. Delicious home baking, tea served from a china pot , cups and saucers , a jug containing fresh milk - just what a proper cafe should be serving. Great value for money , service with a smile - we just had to pop in on the way back home two days later!

We randomly stopped by and it was a great experience. Very welcoming and great food. And dog friendly 🐕 😁. Worth coming back. The decoration is an attraction by itself.

1st time trying this place and will be the last,food looks nothing like what it does on website,got a toastie which was basically 2 bits off toasted bread with minimum filling put together and stuffed into a paper bag for takeaway,no salad or nothing,a far better and more present experience off a cafe just down the road called antlers,I strongly advise anyone to use is,the only reason I went here today was antlers is closed on a Tuesday,like I said at the start this will be my 1st and last visit to this cafe.. very very poor

What a lovely little cafe, home baking and all food freshly made. We went twice in two days for lunch. The best Cullen Skink my friends had eaten in ages, good cheese scones and cakes, very friendly service.

I stopped here with my children pre-christmas before visiting the Cairngorm Alpaccas. It had just hit lunch time. We were the only people there. The menu is very limited. Sandwiches, toasties and 2 soup choices essentially. I know that small businesses are struggling with increasing costs and energy prices. But there was a complete lack of flare. Crisp crumbs were on the plate with our toasties. Our first order of three cheese and ham toasties arrived as sandwiches but this was quickly rectified. There were very limited cakes and baked goods (it was the end of the week, so most things had been sold?) . A lot of empty plates under cloches. It was extremely quiet and peaceful and our server was friendly. It is cute and the atmosphere was relaxed. The food just needs to be presented with a bit more TLC.

Great little place, home made food, and quirky decor. We had the Cullen Skink and soup of the day, both delicious. Staff were lovely as well, and they welcome dogs too. Will revisit when in the area. Thank you.

A lovely friendly cafe, with the most fantastic Cullen skink. I ordered the soup and sandwich combo, but couldn’t finish the sandwich as the bowl of Cullen skink was so huge (and delicious)

Had a perfectly pleasant lunch at Wild Flour. Nothing overly fancy, but they do a good job with what they serve. Make sure to check the specials.

We try to avoid the coach bus crowd and support local when travelling north on the A9 and stop in Newtonmore. This was our first time at Wild Flour and would do again. Great soups and sandwiches and a tasty place for a good latte. It was raining so we didn't sit outside but the garden seating looks inviting. Service was lovely and the right balance of attentive. Our new go to when in the area!

Delicious homemade soup and choices for gluten free celiac as well. Kids options were good value and my 4 year old are everything in front of her saying the homemade bread was amazing. The cakes and coffees were delicious and also homemade! A lovely staff that chatted with us and recommended places to visit nearby. I’d definitely recommend.

Lovely lunch as a pit-stop on A9. Delighted to find so many df and gf choices and ended up staying for cakes as they were so temping! They did not disappoint! We will be back!

We popped in for coffee and a scone and were very glad we did. Such a nice place with friendly staff and a good menu. We liked the decor and the fact that they were an asset to the local community . I wish we had somewhere like this near us. Top marks.

Stopped for coffee and a cheese scone. Quirky place, friendly staff, awesome cakes but the cheese scone stole the show. Will be back! (Oh, and so many nice walks from the centre of town.)

We popped in for espresso and cake. Really good service and food and very cozy surroundings We would definitely recommend

This is a nice cafe in the Main Street with spacious seating and a pretty outdoor area. The menu is very reasonable prices and the food is tasty, if the choices are a little limited. There was a nice selection of soft drinks for those who don’t want tea or coffee.

What a beautiful find! This quirky and friendly cafe was just perfect for a coffee and a bite to eat. You can't help but smile in this cafe, it's bright and beautiful colours make this cafe stand out for all the right reasons. Their homemade cakes were so tasty as well. This is a dog friendly cafe too. Will definitely be back, it was a hit with the whole family 🙂

Had a lovely lunch here, with quick service by friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable surroundings. Children's play area maybe an added attraction in wet weather.

Decided to get away from Aviemore for a change so popped through to Newtonmore and glad we did. The toasties were delicious ( bread was awesome) and really enjoyed the pickled veg salad. Staff, especially Louise were so friendly and chatty. The dog was very much welcome. Took some coffee and cake to go, Carrot cake was amazing. Will definitely be back soon.

Really tasty, original food. One of the best lunches I've had. Decent portion size, cake was near perfection.

We popped in for a coffee to the Wild Flour after a long travel from the borders to Newtonmore. We only popped in as it was the only cafe open and we are glad we did. The scones were delish and you could tell they were homemade & were warmed before serving! The only thing wrong with the wild flour was the decor was a bit dated which gave it a slight unclean feel.

Excellent food, good service and lovely coffee. Really enjoyed the Wild Club sandwich! Highly recommend going for a bit to eat

I had lunch here both days I was in Newtonmore and was really satisfied. The first day they were full to the brim but the service was quick and the food delicious. The second day I bought a painting.

We popped in for a lunchtime bite to eat in the small village of Newtonmore. Really glad we did. A great selection of hot food and cakes at a reasonable price. The staff were welcoming and all the food was cooked freshly to order. Big...

Been here a few times and been impressed each time. Lovely food, especially the flat breads and soup. Always visit when on holiday in the area.

Visited on a rainy Wednesday morning and was met with a huge selection of sweet treats available. Had hot drinks and cakes, all of which were generous sizes and absolutely delicious. Really impressed with the quality of the cake, as well as the price and...

Stopped on the way past and so glad we did - we stumbled on a little gem. Great service, delicious sandwiches and toasties (a good size too), and lovely cakes.

The menu is interesting and includes decent vegan options. Scones of all types very good. Lunch sandwiches baked potatoes and toasties all delicious and well presented. Cullen skink soup was excellent! The service is good with a polite friendly young waitress. Garden area was lovely...

Pleasantly cool secluded garden. Quick service. Free parking nearby. Light meals and cakes that manged to be a little different and better than ususal due to virtually everything being made in-house. The pickle was the best bit - crunchy, fresh, quality vinegar. The flatbread was...

Stopped when passing through Newtonmore to try and find somewhere for lunch. So glad we found it. Lovely place, lovely people, fantastic food. We had various sandwiches and toasties, teas/coffees, then homemade cakes. Good quality ingredients. Couldn’t fault anything. Everything was delicious. Really nice place,...

We ate lunch here with our grandchildren and there was plenty of choice including the children's menu . A lovely bright cafe with a garden and friendly staff.

Great stop on our way to Ullapool for lunch just off the A9. Nice cafe, conservatory and garden area. Tasty soup with delicious hot cheese scone. Bit short staffed so service a bit slow which wasn't too much of a problem as we weren't in...

Spent three afternoons of our weeks holiday in the Wild Flower Cafe. Excellent food full of flavour and imagination. Beautiful inside sitting area or outside garden for you to relax and replenish. Highly recommend this Highland Gem.

Popped in today when on holiday after we had searched for nearby dog friendly cafes. We were not disappointed. Lovely ambience, friendly staff, very clean throughout and even the toilets were nice. The food was freshly made and catered to everyone's individual requirements. Lovely selection...

My wife and I were driving down from Ullapool to Edinburgh Airport after a week's holiday in Harris. We just pulled off the A9 and parked outside for some sort of refreshment. I had a bowl of amazing Cullen Skink while my wife enjoyed a...

Really friendly staff, made us feel very welcome including the dogs. The food was really good, cullen skink and cheese scones were amazing. So were the cakes. Highly recommended!

Tried to pop in for a bite to eat today at 2.35pm to be greeted with “are you sitting in or taking away”. If they had just looked past me they would have seen there were 3 of us including my 88 year old Mum on sticks standing inside the door. Explained we were looking to sit in we were told it was drinks and cakes only as they stopped serving lunch 5 mins earlier at 2.30pm. I understood that maybe they couldn’t offer us hot meals but when I asked if they could do a sandwich I was told no. This was very disappointing especially when we were trying to avoid places at peak lunchtime. They did try to offer suggestions but didn’t come up with anywhere. They obviously have reasons for this type of operation, however this was very disappointing and not particularly welcoming. We drove along the road to Kingussie and had a delicious bite of the lunch there.

Delicious cullin skink and cheese scone. A lovely little cafe with friendly staff. Highly recommended. A little gem.

Extensive and unusual menu Great food at good prices Very friendly Plenty of gifts as well Definitely recommended

Stopped off for a quick bite while driving through Newtonmore. Taken aback by the 'odd' decor, but realise that everyone taste is different and some people may appreciate heaps of velour and soft furnishings, but the overwhelming impression was one of grubbiness. This is understandable given that velour, knitted antimacassars, and soft furnishings etc are dust catchers at the best of times, but during a pandemic? This is the reason most responsible hospitality venues have stripped their premises back to hard surfaces only where possible. The icing on the cake however (pun intended) was a globule of 'something' stuck to the table surface which the server removed and said was a globule of paper which 'must have been missed'. We then wiped the table with an anti-bacterial wipe and(I'm sorry to say) it was filthy. When we showed it to the server she said not to worry - the table had been sanitised. I think not - a wee rub doon wi' a tattie scone would have done a better job. Never again......(ever).

We popped in for a coffee and were delighted with our welcome and also the cleanliness and ambiance of the restaurant. We were served lovely coffee and delicious scones while we admired the outside garden decorated with various nick nacks. The restaurant is larger than it looks even though all COVID precautions were in place. A coffee stop not to be missed.

This cafe is a must if you are in the area. It is very bright and airy and nicely decorated. The garden at the back has bird feeders and well maintained. We had coffee and scones and they were delicious. The staff were friendly.

Cannot recommend this place enough for lunch. My wife and I had soup and a cheese scone and the food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The Cullen Skink was exceptional and I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good lunch

This delightful cafe is a must if only for the decoration. We had a wonderful cheese scone, wonderful. If that's not enough, there is a bird table just outside the back window.

We enjoy popping into the restaurant for coffee and scones ,and toast .The toast is delicious as it's made with home made bread The staff are lovely and make you feel very welcome thank you

Beautiful tasty cheese scone with our Cullen skink. Was pleased to see staff had masks and ensuring customers were socially distanced. Only wee complaint was the soup could have been a bit hotter which is why it’s a four instead of five. Also great idea to pin the menus on the nearest thing to the table to avoid handling. However this made the menu very hard to read. Otherwise it was perfect and wish I’d had room for a cake.

We purchased 4 fresh sandwiches and 4 slices of cake from this cafe, which we then took out with us for a picnic. Lovely fresh bread and fillings, topped off by excellent cakes. All served with a smile. We had 2 happy children.

Popped in for coffee & cake on our way to Cromarty, excellent friendly service - as we always get here. Dog friendly, good coffee and lovely cakes. Good lunch menu on offer. Excellent social distancing measures in place. We might manage another visit to the North this year so hopefully see you again soon ladies.

So glad we stopped here for our lunch. It is a really lovely cafe with very friendly staff. They set up the cafe very well with social distancing measures in place. We had soup, toasties and coffee. All was fantastic. The cakes looked fabulous and I would stop for a tea/coffee and cake break in future. Would certainly recommend to others.

Lovely cafe serving great food and cakes. Friendly staff and COVID-19 mitigations set up well. Would highly recommend.

Very welcoming staff. Really nice comfortable surroundings.The back garden is stunning. Food was excellent. The Cullen Skink and Haggis/cheese toastie were excellent. Everything right down to the lattes, hot chocolate and ice cream were brill. We will be back. Currently on a reduced menu. Staff very busy and working really hard. Well done all!

Opted to try here..whilst in Newtonmore. We had very efficient service.. Very good coffee.. Tasty sandwiches and scones.. Recommended

If yo uare travelling on the A9 between inverness and Perth, we would highly recommend the Wild Flour Cafe. It was immaculate throughout with very pleasant staff. Our coffee was one of the best we have tasted in this country and home baking was excellent. Definitely recommended

So happy to see The Wild Flour open again. So friendly and welcoming. Plus a delicious slice if carrot cake to go with a latte. All covid safety precautions in place to keep everyone safe. Highly recommended.

How this place gets good reviews is beyond me. The old woman manager contends for the rudest person I’ve ever met, hair in the food, rubbish service and outrageous hygiene levels. Dust everywhere, about 400 dead flies on the purple netting in the conservatory, dirty menus, horrendous bathroom and food is very poor. Place needs shutting down!

We came here to meet a family member for some lunch and it didn’t disappoint! The food was so tasty and the carrot cake for after a was to do for! Service was wonderful too. We will definitely be back!

Stopped by for elevenses last week- lovely sticky ginger cake and chocolate&chilli brownie. Coffees were lovely too. Try to get a seat at the back of the cafe as this part overlooks a lovely garden where you can watch birds on the feeders.

Called in for a late lunch, whilst the menu seemed quite varied at first what most of the items turned out to be were toasted sandwiches! Lots of cakes on offer on the board but when we went to actually pick some, the majority were gone just a display of empty plates. Staff were pleasant, however, I had to go looking for them to give my order. The prices here were not cheap and we were certainly expecting something of a higher standard than what we got.

I’m not one for leaving negative reviews but felt I had to warn others.We were a family group travelling up North and had a look at TripAdvisor for ideas for lunch on the way.Not sure if it was an off-day (it was quiet when we visited - only us and another couple) but we were so disappointed with the service, atmosphere and the quality of the food. Soup you could literally mould into shapes it was so thick (average, and no more, taste), hair in the cheese toastie and when returned, a literal shriek from the kitchen ‘What?!’, followed by the older lady bringing the toastie back to the table so my daughter could point to the hair! No apology and a statement to the effect another one would be made - my daughter had somewhat lost her appetite by then but was too shocked by the attitude of the lady to decline.Another ordered a ‘homemade’ pizza for £8.50 (if I remember correctly). It was burnt around the edges and inedible so there was a lot of wastage. As for homemade...it was likened to a Tesco pizza with an extra topping added.Personally, I ordered, I believe, a cheese and haggis melt which, from the menu description, sounded quite tasty, (along with the aforementioned malleable soup) and I basically received a haggis and cheese toastie...none of the trimmings...Unfortunately, not one person in our party of 8 enjoyed their meal or experience.Our initial jovial spirit disappeared very quickly when visiting and we just wanted to leave asap. It was, quite frankly, embarrassing.There was more soup/food left in/on the bowls/plates than we’d eaten and the whole unsavoury experience left us a rather expensive £80 down for an extremely sub-standard lunch.To top it off, when leaving, my other daughter nipped to the loo as the rest of us beat a hasty retreat. The staff obviously didn’t realise we hadn’t all left and my daughter could hear the staff discussing us! Shocking!Sorry, I don’t recommend.

Le rapport qualité prix n’est pas au rendez vous on pensais mieux manger au vue des commentaires précédents.En revanche le cadre est vraiment sympa.

Very good food friendly staff and good value for money. A wee craft place too supporting a lot of local charities.

I am staying in Newtonmore so thought I'd popped in for a breakfast roll today. Food was cooked fresh and tasty only down side was the staff. Not friendly at all. No pleasantries at all we weren't even asked if everything was ok. I think the joy of eating out is the atmosphere as well as the food. Unfortunately as the staff were borderline unfriendly I would not recommend this cafe.

We stopped here on the way back from Aviemore (after being recommended to), the cafe did not disappoint, everything was freshly made. The soup was delicious as were the sandwiches and the cakes were yummy! Would highly recommend stopping here.

Great place to take your tea (of many varieties!), experience tasty cake - or really indulge yourself in gorgeous ice cream. Friendly staff, so perfect!

We popped in for tea and cake after climbing a nearby Munro. We received a warm welcome and yummy cakes. The cafe is lovely - so pleased we chose the Wild Flour!

A good cafe for coffee and eats. Staff very friendly and efficient. Easy location to find in the village

We looked at reviews in order to find a lunch stop between Pitlochry and Inverness and chose this little place.

We stopped by twice when doing the Wildcat experience. Once for cake & coffee (empire biscuits are lovely!) and once for lunch.

Called in at 2.40pm to be told that the kitchen is closed and could not supply lunches, only cakes or scones. How difficult can it be to make some sandwiches or rolls?? Another (European) couple came in 5 minutes after us looking for lunch and were also disapointed. Holidaymakers abound, do they not realise that when on holiday not everyone eats by the clock??!!

Wonderful dog friendly café on the Main Street with lovely sun lounge and an outside garden. Staff super friendly, food is exceptional- home made pizzas, Lovely soup, interesting and tasty sandwiches. Best stop off on the A9 by far.

This is a great stop for lunch in Newtonmore. The flatbread sandwich was fresh and delicious accompanied by an unusual yet impressive pickled salad. One of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time.

We visited as a family for lunch. Healthy food and good choices for lunch. Good value. There aren’t many places nearby with healthy menus so definitely stands out.

We popped in for lunch on a weekend break & had soup & sandwiches- both very tasty & well priced. Staff were very welcoming 👍

Delicious with good variety of choices. Healthy and unique with friendly service. Highly recommend it!

I visited the cafe / shop whilst on a walking trip. A lovely friendly welcome. Menu had a good variety of choices. Delicious flatbread. Highly recommended a visit.

We stopped by for a quick bite for takeaway. Great coffee and desserts. Especially LOVED my cheese scone. The back room was cozy— wish we had time to stay and eat in.

Well worth a visit: without a doubt, if it is on the daily menu, the leek & potato soup is the very best I have tasted. Superb, everything is home cooked in the kitchen, the sandwiches are very good. It has to be good as the local people use it regularly.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, and not to forget, very good coffee and cakes and scones. Fairtrade coffee to boot, as well as quite a bit of choice for a gluten free diet. Nice place to relax (in nice weather you can sit out in the garden too) after a long drive and before heading for the Highland Folk Museum.

Three of us stopped here for breakfast on our way onto Loch Ness. We all had breakfast rolls with everything/anything we fancied on them. They offer everything you could possibly want from eggs, bacon and avocado to black pudding. We also got cakes to take away. The passion fruit cake and cream egg brownie were very good.

Can't fault this lovely little bistro. Great homemade food, great homemade cakes, great hosts. A little gem just off the A9 at Newtonmore with the most friendist staff with a big welcome.

Warm welcome, happy smiley staff, great coffee and egg and bacon roll. HP Brown Sauce? Of course ! And in a bottle with general agreement that it is the finest condiment on the planet. Excellent value, clean toilets nice stop.

We regularly stop here for a light lunch on our way north on holiday and have praised it for quality of food and service. Not this time though....the restaurant was cold, we were 10 minutes too early to order soup from the lunch menu, one filled roll came with the wrong ingredients (it was replaced without issue) and the filled rolls that had fried eggs were unpleasant as the eggs were overcooked and rubbery.

Charming cafe with friendly staff Almost all the food on the menu is suitable for gluten-free Our lunch was very tasty and reasonable prices Will definitely be back very soon

Four of us really enjoyed lunch here at this cosy cafe. Homemade soups (carrot and ginger and mushroom) were delicious and just the right consistency. A cheese and chutney toastie was very good and the homemade cakes were great. The dairy free chocolate cake had a yummy warm chocolate sauce on top and the carrot cake was really delicious. Friendly staff in a relaxing comfortable cafe. Would thoroughly recommend.

Popped in this afternoon for a cuppa and cake while staying in Newtonmore with my better half, greeted with a friendly and welcoming smile and instantly felt comfortable before even sitting down.

We arrived too late for lunch but had a drink and some cakes - gluten free options were available. Staff were lovely and friendly

Excellent, visited on our way to Findhorn and also on the return journey. Owner was exceptionally nice as was the waitresses. Very welcoming even our dog was allowed in. Good choice of food, husband says best Cullen skink he has tasted. Lovely coffee and some really good, tasty home baking. 2nd visit was busy lunch time on a Sunday but was advised there was a wee wait but would get to us as soon as possible. No longer than 20mins with another apology. Would recommend this cafe

I was in the wild flour for lunch with my granny and auntie. I asked the waitress for a cheese sandwich and leek and potato soup. Waited around 20 minuets for it. I have to admit the soup was lovely however the sandwich not as much! Asking for a cheese sandwich I assumed it was going to be a plain cheese sandwich as that’s want I asked for, however this not the case it contained pickles, red onion and CLUMPS of cheese. My auntie kindly asked the waitress for a new PLAIN sandwich she said “no bother” then an older woman approached me very rudely and basically said I cannot receive a new sandwich however I still had to pay the whloe price. Even if it was just a plain sandwich I still would have made a complaint at the state of the cheese as seen in the photograph.

This is a great coffee shop on the High Street in Newtonmore that serves great “proper” coffee and homemade cakes and snacks. Ice cream is available as is a small selection of local crafts.

Have been here before and always thought it was great. Today food very good as usual but service awful. Waitress forgot our coffees despite reminders. No apologies. rOwner/ Cook told us we had to ‘wait our turn’. Dirty cup. Tried to charge us for scone that didn’t arrive. No bill! Expected to pay what you are told . Hope people don’t think this is typical Scottish hospitality.

Wonderful cafe on the way to Inverness. Easy on/off A9. Free parking. Coffee/tea cafe in front very comfy. Restaurant in the back with lovely garden. Great service. Lovely. Free WIFI

Stopped in at the Wild Flour en route to Fort William. Friendly service, quirky decorated coffee shop, great coffee, and superb, proper, old fashioned, yummy scones. We had the fruit scones, soooo good. On the way back we stopped in again, this time we savoured the cheese scones. Again, just so good. And dog friendly, so we got to pat a beautiful cavapoo on holiday from London. What’s not to like? Hugely recommend.

Susie and her team are very welcoming to all visitors, we visited her lovely cafe twice in a week and on both occasions were delighted with the fayre.

Welcoming staff (young). Ambience friendly. clean but the food was disappointing. Cullen Skink was watery white soup with a touch of smoked fish. And waited long enough that it might have been in the process of being caught at Cullen!!! Cullen Skink should not be "blitzed". It was not worth £1.50 extra.
