Xoko Bakehouse & Coffee Bar in Highland

A really brilliant cafe. We went in for 11am coffee and cake. The pastry we had was fantastic, we shared a chocolate cream filled croissant. It was a cold morning so we had some warming spiced coffees which gave us a heat for the rest of the day. Set us up nicely for some christmas shopping! I was so chuffed to see happy staff and people enjoying their work. Rare thing these days. The breads, some of which were still dough and rising in some proofing baskets, made me want to work there. Clearly there is passion in this establishment. Don’t change a thing.

I am used to go to Xoko at least once a month. I love the place, the food, but there is always something wrong with the order. Something that misses, something that is not right... and the owner that is always on the attention side (Tristan), sometimes get a bit rude. I understand you, Tristan, lots of pressure and customers at the same time, but take it easy 😊. Overall, love the place and you, guys, are very nice, just had to share the feedback!

The coffee ☕️ and food was great 👍 couldn't fault it , clean and friendly staff. Would visit again next time in the area

Beautiful food, beautiful people.

The food was Amazing? And the staff are so friendly

Friendly Staff, Great Cakes, Fab coffee

Was hungover and just wanted some good scran 😢 Ended up paying £11.00 for half an avocado on two skinny bits of sourdough with no butter and no salt and a tiny bit of average pesto 💔

Popped in for lunch on our three day tour. Busy. Buzzing. Deliciously tempting smells all around. We went boring cheese and ham toasties. It was out of this world!!!!!!! A particular XoKo thing we enjoyed was having the big long tables. It means that when it’s busy, others need to sit with you. And that opens up an opportunity lacking in our insular world. You do the unthinkable. Talk to strangers. Strangers a merely friends you’ve yet to find. So enjoying our cuppa and convo with our table buddies, we then headed off into the frosty day warmed by the overall experience. Well done XoKo.

Truly wonderful cafe with very unique and different whisky infused coffee beans. Definitely worth trying in Scotland. But the show-stopper were the unbelievable pastries. I’ve eaten at many quality French bakeries and these pastries rank up there with the best. Also very friendly staff and communal tables add even more warmth to this heart centered gem.

If you're in Inverness and you appreciate "great food" at very reasonable pricesI recommend a visit. The biggest decision will be between delicious pastries or hot food. Excellent coffe and so friendly sevice!

My son loved this place when he came last month and convinced us to give it a try. The music was good and the food was ok. Not a massive fan of sharing a table with strangers and having drinks and food arrive at various times. The card only payment also makes it tricky if you prefer cash. My wife ordered eggs on sourdough with tomato. What she got was a mountain of tomato with some nice break and a smidge of scrambled egg. To be fair the bread and egg would have been ok but the proportions were way off. The bread ended up quite soggy and she gave up moving stuff trying to find the egg. I had the snickers sweet which was super sickly but the apple and caramel swirl was actually lovely. Their americano coffee was also very nice. Glad we tried it, but wouldn't rush back.

Best place in town, great coffee and bakes. The houmous and halloumi lunch is to die for

Amazing staff and food! Everyone was super helpful and you could tell they enjoyed working there and all worked well together as a team. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Coffee was great too. we also ordered a box of delicious baked goods to takeaway. Will definitely be back.

I had latte with oat milk and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. Latte was nutty and creamy. Xoko can really make their toast well - not oily (though it looks oily), crispy and not hard. Crispy on outside and soft inside. What a good start to my day!

Encantadores croissants, muchos rellenos diferentes, elegimos 2 para compartir. Buen café, pero podría haber estado más caliente, debería haber dicho en ese momento. Mi hija de 7 años tenía un chocolate caliente, pero no había nada realmente para que ella comiera, ya que no le gustan los pasteles. La elección a ese respecto es mínima. Sin duda volveremos.

Disfrutamos de un chocolate caliente blanco muy agradable y croissant relleno. La variedad de pasteles es excelente. Nunca habría pensado en un croissant relleno de tarta de queso cereza, pero definitivamente funciona. Sin embargo, dado que tiene este toque único, está un poco en el lado de los precios. Con dos cruasanes y dos bebidas calientes que llegan a poco menos de £ 17. Así que un placer encantador, pero sería difícil que se convierta en algo regular!

Love the croissant + scrambled eggs + hot chocolate

Very tasty croissants The coffee and walnut twist was also 🤤 Friendly staff

Gran café, excelentes pasteles y un servicio muy amable. La comida caliente que sale de la cocina se veía delicioso - así que una buena excusa para volver. Genial ver un negocio local prosperando. 5 estrellas ⭐️

Establecimiento cálido y acogedor Bonito menú con algo para todos, incluidos aquellos que deseen opciones basadas en plantas Ambiente inclusivo muy agradable Muy recomendable

Gran pastelería, excelente desayuno y almuerzo y buen café. Servicio rápido y agradable. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Buena velocidad de internet. No podía recomendar Xoko lo suficiente.

Loved the food here so much I wish I could move nearby. I had to stop myself from licking my plate for croissant crumbs.

Was in for coffee & banana cake which was lovely. Good service too.

Excellent food and coffee in a friendly, stylish cafe. Inventive breakfast options and great bakery products

This is a special find in Inverness. The pastries are so good it’s like a wee spiritual experience- genuinely haven’t tasted pastries so good Ever- , and fab coffee. The staff are gorgeous and it’s somewhere you will want to return to. I will be.

We went there for lunch, food was absolutely amazing and the staff were friendly. Great choices of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Would highly recommend.

Amazing little place mexican meets Scottish with homemade sourdough, fantastic coffees and breakfast with a twost which was stunning!!

Was a lovely cosy cafe, quirky, clean and comfortable and staff friendly and pleasant. We were served quickly and food was delicious. We had toasties tea and cake and very reasonably priced

Amazing coffee and breakfast! Everything tasted delicious - really high quality ingredients with fab presentation. Oat milk latte was perfect. I was so tempted by all the pastries but managed to resist.

Lovely freshly baked croissants, enjoyed by the girls in the office. We will all definitely be back. 😀

Nice environment. We went for breakfast, the croissants were decent. Open kitchen and friendly staff.

We came to it because it was almost the only one in the area that opened early and what a success. Quality food (not cheap but worth it) and both the coffee and tea were delicious. We ordered avocado toast with garlic pesto and smoked salmon toast. Abundant quantity, so don't go upstairs asking because since the bread is sourdough, you'll be quite full. Some of the waiters are Spanish speakers and the girl who served me also spoke some Spanish since she asked me where I was from when she heard me speak Spanish. In general, in Scotland people are friendly but here they are also very kind and helpful, they give the impression of loving their job because of the smile they offer at all times. I also loved the decoration. I wish I could repeat!

We took our breakfast there (croissants, coffee and chai) and it was delicious. The filled croissants are freshly prepared and a delight. The service is also very friendly and attentive. It would be too loud for me to eat there. But to take away, perfect!

The products are excellent, we had a sandwich and a bananabread, both very good. A good place to relax and have something to eat!

Just lovely - lovely people, lovely food, lovely coffee. As a bonus, they are so unabashedly affirming. We visited three times and wish it could’ve been more!

Hearty daal lunch set 🫰 loved the cosy atmosphere

Discovered our first morning in Inverness. Warm, cozy, friendly, and delicious. I fixed and the rhubarb and cream croissant while my wife mixed it up with an almond croissant one day and a coconut croissant the next. Loved it!

XOKO is an absolute gem, every time I’ve been there the selection has changed, but don’t let that put you off, everything is of an exceptional standard. The owners are lovely as are all of the staff, the ambience is absolutely on point, great service and the prices are reasonable for what you are getting, definitely worth a visit!

Amazing Avocado on toast. Amazing coffee. Fantastic vibe. Open early Sunday too! Thank you!

In Inverness, it is practically impossible to find places to have breakfast that are open on Sundays before 10am. We Italians are not used to this. Xoko bakehouse was open; so, we went in and it was a nice discovery. A good offer of sweets and bakery and cafe. Advised.

This has the most delicious smoked salmon scrambled eggs

The best coffee I’ve had so far. I didn’t eat but the food looked amazing! Must have correct cash or use card for transactions

I asked the Xoco team to take on the responsibility for choosing a selection of pastries for me to take to my sisters birthday party in Edinburgh and they not only saved my last-minuteness from being an issue, but genuinely made me the hero of the party. I’ll admit that for the first ten minutes of someone asking where the croissants came from, I pretended that I’d been slaving away over them all weekend at my home kitchen. But most people saw through it so I told them about Xoco and that made more sense to everyone involved. But literally everyone loved every one of what I’d brought. I gained massive party-points, the beautiful pastries made up for my pitiful attempt at buying a present (genuinely socks…) and the whole evening revolved around the pastries so small talk was way easier than usual! Incredible, thank you so much Xoco team!

Locale carino, personale gentile e veloce. Ampia scelta per colazione dolce e salata, con pane fragrante o viennoiserie dalle dimensioni generose. Io ho preso un pain aux raisins, buono e ben sfogliato, ma la quantità di glassa allo zucchero era eccessiva. Comprendo la necessità rendere lucido il prodotto, ma non a discapito del sapore. Il caffè espresso accettabile per un italiano.

Lovely welcoming staff, superb food, great coffee, good vibe, this place is must visit. People beat a path to their door so expect it to be very busy at all times, we'll worth any wait though.

The good was awful. We had asked for more details from a staff member before ordering, but the description was inaccurate. Coffee was burnt. Won’t return.

Some of the most delicious pastries you'll have in UK! Wow wow wow!

Great food and cakes, amang and bubbly staff. We would definitely recommend anyone to visit this place. We will be back again.

We got a cappuccino and a cinnamon roll each. The coffee was great and the cinnamon roll was to die for. They also sold bread which I'm looking forward to trying. Lovely staff and atmosphere on top. Will definitely come back if I visit Scotland again.

Wonderful busy cafe with delicious pastries and good coffee. Sourdough bread was lovely and the breakfasts tasted and looked great as well. Clearly a hub of the community as it was busy both times we visited.

Scrummy food, especially the Cinnamon rolls.

The service is very fast and very nice, the food is delicious. The mood is good.

Great food! Definitely recommend the crookie!

Great place for coffee, lunch and pastries. My friend and I had the peri peri grilled cheese and the Vietnamese pork, both were delicious. Had the cinnamon bun on another occasion which was super tasty as well. The only thing that could be improved are the flavoured hot chocolate (like coconut and orange), it was delicious but we had to concentrate to taste some of the coconut/orange. Already great, could be better!

Very expensive: £10 for two coffees and a croissant. Not happy with that, they ask you for a tip. The coffee is very strong and excessively hot. Small place with little room. Recommended only to protect yourself from the cold of Inverness.

We went there to grab a coffee to-go and sat at a table for about 15 minutes. Then they told us we had to leave because we were no longer considered customers, having ordered to-go. So rude! No matter if you order as sit-in or to-go, you are still a customer.

It’s great, but 6.75 for a croissant with cheese ham and tomato, if there was a price tag on it before ordering, I would have left it but felt like I couldn’t back out of the transaction once it was being bagged up. It was tasty and it has a good atmosphere, I’m happy to spend money, but not 7 pounds on a croissant in Inverness. I wouldn’t spend that in central london. I’ll never go back sorry and want to warn others about that kind of pricing

Amazing food and coffee, perfect atmosphere and first class service.

When in Inverness, you should definitely give XOKO a try! They have an amazing selection of goodies and the menu is super interesting! Everything looked delicious! Their sourdough bread was one of the best we’ve tried and the spicy Korean bowl was so flavourful and filling! The atmosphere was great and the staff friendly and quick even though the place was buzzing. They also have a big selection of different kombuchas and sodas. Definitely going back next time we are in Inverness!

First time in, excellent food, friendly staff. Rhubarb and custard croissants are tremendous 👌.

Fantastic Scot-ico fusion of recipes from Scotland and Mexico. The frijoles and coconut pain au chocolate were perfecto.

Cool cafe. Delicious breakfast. Very creative. We enjoyed it very much.

Wonderful little cafe with delicious, home-baked bread

Fast service and delicious food

Fast, good quality and even gluten free options

Lovely restaurant/cafe. The food we saw on the tables looked delicious! We came to grab some quick coffees for the road and they hit the spot! Service very nice.

XOKO is hard to describe. It is more than just a cafe or a bakery, or a Mexican take on these. The food selection is unique (in Inverness, at least!) with lots of interesting stuff to try. I had a lentil dhal that i would highly recommend. The addition of peanuts was a novelty, but a stroke of genius for the flavours generated. If you are used to Mexican food, then XOKO is a very different experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and staff are really friendly. Great choice of veggie/vegan options too

Truly amazing breakfast. Really nice service, and the food was excellent. These guys understand sourdough baking! We bought some pastries to go, for our walk exploring Inverness. Looking forward to sampling the crookie (cookie croissant), and the other nice and playful variants of pastries. Couldn’t have started the day in a better way.

Small space for many customers, but well attended and well served!

After your morning run, this is the ideal place to have a very good breakfast in a young, enthusiastic and dynamic atmosphere. And what's more, we ate some really good bread!!!!

The service and food were exceptional. We had the beans with avocado & feta; croissant with bacon, scrambled eggs, and maple syrup; and scrambled eggs and chorizo on sourdough. We love our coffee and the Americanos were fabulous - not too bitter which was a welcome change. Everything were delicious and it was so nice to have some flavours that were a little different. We've bought two of their outstanding sausage rolls to take with us. Definitely worth a visit.

Really friendly staff despite a bustling cafe keeping them busy. Great coffee, I highly recommend trying the whiskey infused beans. The star of the show was the soup though, my goodness the peanut dhal was flavourful and perfect for a rainy day! Enjoyed the vibes of this bakery so much we went back each day for a coffee and to try a new pastry. Just beware the seagulls greedily awaiting outside! One swooped in and swiped my croissant.

Well in Inverness , this should be a stop for breakfast , can't explain in words how delightful I was to discover this coffee house, I'm absolutely not a coffee person and this place is where I would always for coffee and cakes. And our host Òrka ( might be pronouncing wrong) she was brilliant.

Visited here while in Inverness - such a cute little bakehouse in the city centre. It was so hard to decide what to get as everything looked so good! In the end I had the scrambled egg with chorizo on sour dough toast. It was delightful! Me and my girlfriend also shared a coconut pain au chocolate afterwards. It was the best I’ve ever had! The coffee was really good too! Highly recommend this bakery, it’s a must when visiting Inverness!

Coffee wasn’t good. Too much milk and very weak.

For a fair price for central Inverness, me and my husband got one slice each of the cake of the day right before closing. We got everything to go, and the staff were super helpful with some wooden utensils to let us enjoy our cake outside the cafe premises. This is the first place in Scotland I've found me a Chai latte as well give them an extra A+ for drink options. My husband liked the preparation of his double espresso, and the only thing we'd change are the beans used to make the coffee, but that of course is personal preference. Well worth a visit!

Super cool coffee shop / café / bakery in the heart of Inverness downtown. Really nice people working there, amazing pastries baked right on site (you can even watch the bakers in action), and also savory meals as well. Cool music also, eclectic selection, always at a chill energy level. Came here 3 or 4 times during my week in Inverness. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in town.

Wicked quick service (despite being busy) Staff attentive and hard working Amazing croissants (their specialty) So many interesting flavours of croissant, baks good as well as classic staples cooked to perfection.

Pleasant bakery with some Mexican twist. The cheesecake croissant and the avocado pesto toast were amazing. Great place to have an avocado snack followed by the croissant.

Outstanding bakery and breakfast spot. Coffee was delicious, fantastic history, sourdough bread. Perfect spot to start the day, or for delicious takeaway coffee and pastry!

Good service, and it's usually busy in the morning.

Highly recommend! The chorizo with scrambled eggs was delicious as was the dulce leche croissant! . Excellent service as well.

Absolutely fantastic pastries, and excellent coffee and friendly professional staff. Cannot praise it highly enough.

First of all, incredible food. the donuts look next leverk but I couldn't not get their sage and onion sausage roll which was divine. Secondly, coffee is great and beautifully presented third, great tunes fourth, friendly staff fifth - opens from 7 am - very tourist friendly Thats five reasons why this gets five gold stars!

Delicious food and great service :)

For me this cafe has it all, delicious food, good service and warm place, I haven't tried the entire menu, but some beans with chili and for my friend the croissant with cheese, tomato and serrano, it really is its weakness, I need to go for some quesadillas soon.

Delicious espresso, breakfast and lunch! We we're staying in Inverness for 3 days, and we came here for 3 days in a row for breakfast! The baked goods, the breakfast sandwiches and bowls were so flavourful and delicious. Great service and food comes out quick too. I loved the whisky infused coffee.

Great coffee, pastries, and vibe. People working there were cool.

Up there as one of the top coffee and breakfast places I have ever been to in the world! The pastries were absolutely to die for, we got the Crookie and Rhubarb croissant. We also ordered the chorizo and egg toast which was incredible as well. Coffee was also strong and on point!

Tried the Almond and Tonka croissant which was delicious! They have a great variety of croissants and other breakfast and lunch options too.

The food was delicious. Wonderful bread and pastries. Did not try the coffee, but they had a pretty good matcha latte. Would highly recommend the toffee apple bun—simply divine

When in Inverness - XOKO is an excellent option for a breakfast / brunch Reason: Home made food & great coffee Great atmosphere complimented by a helpful / hardworking team. Our food was delicious Shop is busy - expect a line but it moves fast 5⭐️ experience!

Absolutely love this place. Croissant's soo yummy..fab coffee too.

Nice staff, good food, pleasantly busy atmosphere but still a very chilled little place with a very cool, community-oriented feel.

Amazing coffee and excellent pastries. Great friendly service.

Wonderful service , coffee and pastries.

I ordered a plant based option at the till. When it came out vegetarian I was told I was my fault for not double checking what the server had rung in. Rude servers and terrible accountability.

We love this place and visit every time we come to town. The only thing I don't like is the till tipp coercion.
