Fab local cafe offering tasty paninis and freshly made salad boxes with balsamic dressing. Chutneys, a vast array of cakes and biscuits available to take away and reasonably priced tea and coffee. There are a handful of tables if you want to sit in, but no loos. Brilliant wee place if you're wanting a tasty fresh sarnie!

Cute corner coffee shop, coffee actually best I had in 5 days in Edinburgh, yummy bacon rolls, super nice ladies at the counter. Perfect start to the day driving out to the Highlands. Lots of delicious looking sandwiches being made for grab & go lunch too.

Returning from an early appointment in Edinburgh and stumbled on this great place. Had a breakfast roll each and cup of coffee. Both were delicious and served quickly. Very quirky interior. Loved it!

Great selection of sandwiches and paninis, with a lovely homemade soup made each day. Definitely worth a visit, but if this review results in the soup running out before I get mine, I'll be taking it down.
