Do yourself a favour and visit this beautiful café when you're in Balmoral. The family run business is full of love, great food, good coffee and friendly staff. We loved our visit to the bakery and found there was so much to choose from! The lady was happy to assist with suggestions and would recommend the sweet chilli pastry wrap and 1 sweet!

The soup and other dishes were all make by the chef to a very high standard. Extremely tasty and highly recommended. Great cafe

We have come to Ballater for years .. this is a new kid on the block . Small menu but that makes this all the better .. Had a delicious Cajun chicken burger on a toasted brioche bun .. delicious ! Lovely staff , modern cosy eatery . Couldn't fault it ... Love it .

Very disappointed that the cafe was closed. On the website says open Wed-Sunday from 11-3pm. Double checked with the Tourist Office in Ballater they advised us that itwas open from 12-3pm. We walked all the way from Ballater to find it was closed !!!!!We found 2 other people there also disappointed. Have been visiting for some yearsnow food was always fantastic but think will give it a miss in the future. The word in Ballater was that the opening times is not dependable.

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.

Very quaint homely cafe, run by a lovely lady. Very good americanos, we had the carrot cake, which I can highly recommend. All cakes are home made by the owner. A must if in the area.

has always been a dependable source of fruit, veg, cheese, etc. can't claim to be cheap but the quality is good

It was a nice day and we were looking forward to sitting outside for lunch. The outside area was closed off, not sure why, and we sat inside. After about 5 minutes the place was humid, full of smoke/steam from the kitchen and it was uncomfortable. Not sure if the extractor fan was working, if it was then it didn't do the job. The place wasn't that busy. I couldn't get out fast enough to get some fresh air.

Such a great spot to stop with kids. Not only do they have great coffee, and yummy food, they also have a beautiful view, and a play ground for children. It was just what our family needed on the long drive to Dingle. We are so happy we stumbled upon this gem.

Great place for a coffee. Fantastic setting, cosy and comfortable, friendly staff, great coffee and reasonably priced- highly recommend

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!

Often go here as have holiday caravan I. Ballater. Excellent atmosphere and lovely friendly staff.
