I've been a few times and have always enjoyed it but today was very disappointing. The quality has gone downhill by quite a lot. The side salad was literally just lettuce and a wedge of tomato ( not how it used to be ) and...my grilled sandwich was made on cheap white bread rather than the sourdough bread as stated on the menu. I also ordered a small latte from the menu to be told they only do 1 size, even though it is on the menu. I doubt if I'll be back.More

We visited this place for breakfast with friends on several occasions whilst visiting Keith. Can’t fault it. Friendly service, good food and definitely value for money. Only “complaint” is it didn’t open until 11 am so had to give it a miss on our last...day as our train was at 12.More

Noticeably gone down hill since my last visit. They have lost their licence. Mix up with reservation. Food was good but service left alot to be desired. Atmosphere has severely deteriorated. Wont be back.

We stopped in Keith for a wander and came across this cafe. It was so hot that we sat outside and enjoyed cold drinks and coffee. The food menu looked good so we might pop back.

We stopped off at square roots on the way to Inverness. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. We had the chicken burger and beef with onion sandwich. Hot chocolate at the cafe was the perfect way to warm up in the cold Scottish weather....Service was super quick and they were very friendlyMore

Very slow and quality of food much reduced on my last visit. As poor I will not be going back for a meal. None of our party of 5 thought the food was good.
