Highly recommend this place! I had the best sandwich of my life here, absolutely loved the whipped feta and beetroot sandwich. Lovely place with a fantastic friendly atmosphere and great cakes too.

Nice dog friendly find (sausage treat for the dog)! Decent food and good range of choices. Cakes also a good range, but a little dry sadly took the star away! Would definitely go again

Came here for a Sunday lunch and it was excellent. The burger was home made and delicious. I asked for crispy bacon and got crispy bacon. The fries were skinny and crispy. My girlfriend got the baked potato with cheese and beans. It was also excellent. Would go back

Went for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Great service along with easy access for anyone with mobility issues. Plenty room at tables and helpful staff. Along with parking outside cafe. The food was very good as well, they have wide selection of food, cakes etc almost all are gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and lactose intolerant safe. Which is impressive. They have an amazing choice of cakes, biscuits. Too many to choose from. Will be back again to try something else on menu. We both had dirty loaded fries, was too much for me. Very good, had to leave space for dessert.

What a great atmosphere for a quick lunch!! Today as we were in Letham, ANGUS, we decided to pop in for our lunch. We've had take away items before but hadn't had the chance to dine-in. I'm happy to say it was an excellent decision by the OH. The café is nice and airy with a positive feel with happy, pleasant staff there to help . The menu is varied but we both ordered the 6oz burger that was topped with cheese and streaky bacon; if you're hungry, that's the one to go for!! It was well cooked, not too salty but juicy and I'm happy to say the burger outsized the bun! The chips were delicious with a little crunch and the salad was fresh and pleasing to the palette with some vinegrette atop. If you're ever in Letham, pop in a treat yourself, you'll be glad you did! . The only challenge might be parking though there is a small parking lot, so you might be lucky to find a spot.

Lovely all round. We had the most excellent lunch. Seriously recommend the milkshake and the soup (corn & leek when we were there) and sandwich including kale, Scottish Brie and a delightful chutney … and we had cake to take away .. banana and caramel fabulous. Service super friendly and efficient. Loved it.

Scrumptious selection of cakes and scones (incl. GF). Excellent service and very good value for money. Inviting atmosphere and layout. Looking forward to next visit.

Our son, daughter-in-law and family took us here for our 48th anniversary lunch. Although we've been a few times before we've only had breakfast rolls. This time had lunch and to say the food was excellent is an understatement. We all enjoyed what we choose from the extensive menu and thoroughly enjoyed. The kids and cake afterwords but the adults didn't although I did take home a fruit slice. The staff were lovely and very attentive. A really great experience thank you. We'll definitely recommend going to our friends and we'll be back soon.
