Lovely intimate cafe and meeting point for islanders and visitors alike. The food was amazing. A hearty bowl of tasty soup and mince pie with calvados for after. Thoroughly recommend this gem
Just had a fantastic breakfast delivered from here.
Food was fresh, warm and quick delivery.
Honestly one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a while. 10/10
I got a cheese & onion panini and my Mum got a cheese & onion toastie. Both of these came with coleslaw and a side salad with some dressing. We also got a portion of skin-on fries to share.
This was my first visit to this café but I would most definitely return! The food was very reasonably priced, staff were friendly and there was a wide variety to choose from. Overall, a very pleasant visit.
This small café/bistro operated varying limited hours and we were never entirely sure when it would be open. They also held bookable “themed” nights offering a taste of food from differing countries on occasion. Sadly having only recently discovered their very nice coffee and cake we followed this up with a lunch visit on 30 August 2024 only to discover of their plans to close the place permanently at the end of September 2024.
It’s a pity since the food we had on this occasion was very good indeed.
We both had chicken skewers Morrocan style, the tender juicy chicken pieces coated in a very tasty sauce which included fruit and all accompanied with a fresh salad with a lovely dressing. A very flavoursome dish overall.
We followed this up with a giant decorative pot of tea for two served in china cups and some cake. My wife selected a “Lammington” - sponge cake coated in raspberry and coconut and served with double cream, whilst I had a portion of Blueberry & Lemon Tart with double cream. My wife was very happy with her choice and I found myself almost licking the plate despite it seems having been given 2 slices of the thin light pastry tart which was oozing with a delicious topping.
Total cost was a reasonable £34.
The owners in our experience were friendly and chatty and are moving on to other ventures based from their home.
The place was busy at our lunch visit and there was a pleasant ambiance with satisfied customers enjoying their food and drink. Seems a pity that it won't be available in future.
The single unisex toilet was very well maintained.
Really warm welcome, amazing food (been several times....pizza is fabulous) and good choice of soft drinks. One of our favourite places in our home town.
Fabulous authentic food
We visited this for a Saturday evening opening. We both enjoyed our food, sharing the kottu and rice platter .
Both were delicious, freshly prepared & cooked .
The service was genuinely friendly and helpful .
If , like us , you enjoy real food prepared when ordered
, you can't fail to enjoy the food at Barn Street .
Had an amazing meal this evening. Food is absolutely delicious! I would recommend 100% It is all plant based and my goodness the food is so fresh and well cooked.
We went and enjoyed a glass of wine which is bring your own with delicious food, such an excellent evening
Unprepossessing outside. Lounge closed but public bar open & lively. Everyone seemed gobsmacked that we were walking the ACP. Even more that we'd swam both days, and amazed that I'd skinny dipped. Customers & barmaid pointed us to the beer garden, but in a friendly way. The BG was v basic, just a yard. But the beer was good.
Tony and his cousin are such kind generous hosts. The coffee blend is perfect. Cappuccino and lattes are so tasty and refreshing. The home baking is phenomenal. I'd say the scones are the best in Scotland. The lunch panini and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty. The attention to detail for service is exceptional. Plum crumble cake, pineapple cake, brownies and the savoury cakes are delicious.
It's not well sign posted but its next door to Coop Funeral home and across from the Butchers.
