Went here for an evening cycling event, what a gorgeous building! Set in an old converted church is an cute little cafe and small function space. The staff made me feel welcomed and were very friendly. I'll definitely head back here during the day just to try out the café.

What a cracking place this is, a great find only a few minutes walk from the train station. The place has been renovated to a very high standard and the food was excellent. The curried squash, lentil and coconut soup was very moorish! Well done and it is great to see you are also doing good for the community - top marks.

I visited yesterday for lunch with my grandad and the food was amazing!!
We were visiting Dumfries on holiday and had noticed The Usual Place the night before walking into the town centre, and when researching lunch for the next day settled on the Usual Place as we love to support social enterprises.
Overall the trip was extra special as my sister is autistic, but the informative video produced by your trainees helped my grandad learn and understand more about autism and therefore my sister too. Keep up all your hard work!
We are just sad we aren't local to be frequent customers

Such a lovely venue for afternoon tea. Sandwiches freshly made, homemade scones and delicious cake. The coffee was spot on.
The service and attention to detail was impeccable.
If you couldn't finish the lovely edibles, you were offered a box to take your food home!
Highly recommend and very fairly priced.
