Afternoon coffee and cakes .
First time visit, despite on the doorstep location.
Good service , obviously popular judging by the attendance.
Would recommend.

I absolutely love this place. There is nothing like that around Banchory. The menu is interesting and there are lots of vegetarian options. The staff is always pleasant and I like the music in the background.

Such a personal and accommodating place for the whole family to go. Always a friendly welcome and service, with delicious breakfast options, refreshing coffee and scrumptious fine pieces to take away for later on! Highly recommended if you’re passing by!

Visited for lunch last week. We were able to find something appealing on the menu, but only just. No sandwich or salad options available but two choices of soup on such a hot day suggests their formula is a bit rigid. The menu doesn't seem to have changed since our last visit a year ago and majors on light bites.

What an amazing little find. I would highly recommend anyone pay a visit. The food was so fresh, tasty, and really put beautifully the dish. And the front of house staff weren’t half bad with ;) (veg options were awesome!)

Stopped for lunch by chance. Can only say that it was excellent in all respects. Even bought 1.5kg of Smoked Paprika. I feel like a hoarder!

Went for Mother's day. Food was excellent. I had cheese soufflé it was perfect. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. They are licensed as well which I hadn't realised. There was also a man singing and playing the guitar which made it even more special. Superb views of clachnaben and Scolty Hill. Definitely recommend. Staff were super as well. Menu had nice variety.

Came here for lunch with the other half after a morning trip around Deeside. The food was very tasty and well presented. The staff were extremely friendly, however, there weren't enough of them to deal with the number of customers. There was also a distinct lack of any form of queueing system when it came time to pay. When we eventually found our way to the till it took quite a while because all the staff were busy bussing plates around. Overall I would go back, but only on a quieter day.

Great wee niche cafe/restaurant. The food is all fresh and from sustainable sources. I had the twice baked parmesan souffle, it was delicious!! Now, I'm no great lover of salads (rabbit food) but the accompaniment for this dish was just great, tasty, crunchy. Tina had the coastal board and she was over the moon with it. Reasonably priced and sitting outside, in September, in Scotland, is a definite bonus.
