Riverside Cottage - Aberdeenshire

After a long walk in the forest, we decided to stop by this cafe. It was a cozy spot with a log burning stove, giving it a nice rustic feel. Dogs are allowed inside, which was a plus for us. The scone my wife had was described as the best she's ever tasted, and the coffee was delicious. We had also visited the cafe at the Cheese makers across the road, which was nice but we had to sit outside with our dog. We will definitely be returning to this cafe, and next time we plan on trying out their lunch options.

I stopped by after cycling in Ballater. The outdoor garden was lovely. The coffee was nice and the cake was moist and tasty. The service was great, with a friendly waitress. If I find myself in that area again, I will definitely visit again.

The Courie Courie bakery serves the most delicious sourdough bread you will ever taste. They offer a wide selection of pastries and savory pies, as well as organic products, candles, and gifts. The staff is friendly and the garden tea room is charming. They also welcome dogs with open arms.

The new arrangement now has a lovely vibe when fully staffed and OPEN. Possibility of a great business here for casual outdoor/indoor lunches and snacks but very inconsistent in terms of staffing and availability. When fully staffed the front of house are friendly but a definite problem with understaffing which may be due to sick leave or spreading their staffing too thin on the ground.

My partner and me were driving past on our way to Balmoral Cairns and wanted to stop for something to eat and a coffee before walking. We just happened to see this on the map so decided to stop and we were not disappointed!!! We both had the cheese and salami toastie, mine with side salad and it was probably one of the best toasties we have had. The bread was fabulous and the coffee delicious too. The cafe itself looks lovely and has a lovely outdoor bit for sitting outside in the sun. We will definitely be back if we are ever passing by again and 100% recommend.
