Great little down-to-earth outdoor shop and cafe. Staff were first class and food was excellent. I went for the lighter option of the Wee Breakfast which was more that up to the job! Highly recommended, both for food and outdoor equipment - also the best fire in town!

Simply the best coffee in Aviemore. Nice selection of cakes. If you are here for the outdoors a good array of specialist magazines to browse or simpy enjoy the great views of the Cairngorms from the first floor cafe.

Waited over 1 1/2 hours for breakfast with little apology. Glad it was on way home rather than a day on the hill. Food was ok. Id go to the mountain cafe next time...

A lovely wee place hidden in a horrid building. Quality excellent, comfy sofas and loads to read. We enjoyed the food and found the staff excellent. This place is well worth finding although its easy to drive past. Good parking for Aviemore as well :)

An awesome cafe with excellent service... I would highly recommend to anyone in the area whether for a simple warming drink or full on breakfast or meal. The food was prepared individually for us and was perfect in every way. Many thanks to the team... We will be back!
