Just Excellent! Wonderful service, super coffee, the best Hot Chocolate with all the trimmings! A lovely Cheese twist in a great little place. I wish I lived closer and could make it a regular haunt! Thank you.

A warm welcome (including a roaring stove) - and tasty dishes - made our visit here very enjoyable. Well done - we hope to back soon.

This place is a wee gem! A phenomenal selection of whiskies, a very tasty sharing platter, all served by friendly staff who love to share funny stories. A few locals were in who also love a blether. Lovely seating area outside too. Only open Friday to Sunday at present.

If you’re wondering what this is like don’t miss it. Delicious wholesome food near Balmoral. Parking outside, look out for the orange sign just after Crathie Church coming from Balmoral/Braemar. You won’t be disappointed, lovely current vibe with food you’ll want to go again for.

Lovely wee cafe. Woman there was very sweet. Cakes were yummy!

This deli shop in delightful Ballater has got a good assortment of cheeses, some olives and pickles and a selection of pantry food: jam, honey, marmalade etc The cakes look delicious and the fresh fruit and vegetables were very appetising. The building is amazing and the shop windows invite you to walk in. We will try the smoked cheese we bought from you.

Great place for a family to eat at any time of the day. Child and dog friendly, and the number of locals eating and socialising in here tells you a lot. The younger members of our family had already been in previously for a go at a delicious range of pankake specials and, as usual, some of us were having lunch, some late breakfast and some just more pancakes please! The pancakes being special. I don't know if they would always be on the menu, but there's a fantastic array of cakes and bakes. I would advise booking a table, especially at weekends. Super friendly staff, for whom nothing is too much trouble.

Great place to visit! Lovely homemade soup - butternut squash just right consistency, large bowl & hot. Served with gorgeous homemade bread (2 slices of cranberry with butter - husband had savoury scone with chutney - superb). Nice hot latte & yummy cakes. Lovely welcoming friendly hostess & atmosphere. Pizza night on a Thursday & local market on a Wednesday is next on our must visit list! Visit this cafe - you will not be disappointed! All served promptly & at a reasonable price too.

We had an afternoon tea for Emily’s upcoming birthday. Wonderful selection of sandwiches sausage rolls, scones and strawberry tarts as well as numerous tray bakes and jam and cream. Absolutely delicious

Over priced, bad manners, just not a nice place. The chap serving us was making it up as he went along. Stay away

Great food, steak and fish cooked to perfection, served with really good chips. Went for deserts too, which we don’t normally go for, butter tablet ice cream hit the spot.

I checked google, hidden Scotland and this site ALL said it was open on Tuesday. Drove past our usual coffee place to come here and found a sign on the door saying closed Tuesdays!

Menu was very poor choice & nothing like on website. Ended up with a poor quality wine at £9.00 per glass & a chicken burger which I didn’t eat as boring (would have preferred a McDonald’s one which would have been a lot cheaper!) Husband had cheeseburger which was average, nothing special. Place is very dark & we needed our phones to read menu. Waitress wasn’t very good. Overall, underwhelming & disappointing!

We thought the bread and pastries looked very nice, and there was a very brisk trade going on. Very disappointed with almond croissants. Dry, no taste, over baked and very heavy. The same with the pain au chocolat. Heavy, dry, afraid we did not enjoy and threw them away. The seeded tin loaf was moist and well made however. The service was quick and efficient.

I booked the Glenaden Hotel to provide a funeral tea for 30 people after a private internment in Ballater . Neil , the owner could not have been more helpful in organising this for a very reasonable price. We were delayed at the cemetery but a quick call alerted the staff who said no problem Once there we were given a private area for the family with its own bar and toilets . The food supplied was fresh and plentiful and there was unlimited tea and coffee . The staff were friendly and always available. We were told we could stay as long as we wished and that was great because everyone had come from far afield . It was a nice end to a sad day . We intend visiting again for food when next in the area .
