The Bakehouse Cafe - Forres

I have a disability and was driving from Inverness to Findhorn needed to stop for a drink so i could take my medication and popped into this shop/Cafe to order some food and a drink. I walked in aided by my small dog and this Elderly woman came up to me from nowhere and in an abrupt manner told me no dogs allowed and started staring at me as i left the Shop. She could see my disability and didn 't take this into consideration on the contary she was very inconsiderate and treated me poorly. She failed to ask me if i was okay or needed anything and was more concerned about my small dog getting out of her shop. I definitely would not recommend anyone who has a disability or a service dog using this shop. Its self evident that they don 't cater towards people who have a disability and they 're clearly anti dogs. This surprised me as Findhorn is a dog friendly place. Unfriendly Service and Poor Customer Service by this Woman. This is my reason for 1 star

Be aware that the photo attached to this place is out of date. The sit in cafe doesn’t exist and has been changed to an upmarket deli with the option of some take out food….cakes, homemade quiche £3.50 per SLICE!!! , etc and, on Friday Saturday evenings 5 -7pm take out pizza. Which I sampled this evening. Sadly, I will not revisit for pizza the deli is good though, if expensive . The pizza a Veneziana was only slightly above warm, the base was tough and very chewy and the toppings were actually pretty tasteless. Overall underwhelming and disappointing. Should have stuck with The Captain’s Table’s pizza but I fancied a change/something new whilst still keeping it local .

Lovely cakes biscuits we bought to enjoy later are delicious. Other food looked good, fresh produce in shop looked good quality.

Have eaten many an excellent meal here, but sad to see it’s filled in with local food products for sale. A much missed lunch spot hope they return to the cafe format!

Amazing little shop, so grateful to have found this. Can’t wait to be back already. Being bakers ourselves the quality was amazing! Such a lovely kind friendly atmosphere with the kindest staff. The rolls were amazing and catered for everyone! We got fresh rolls with vegan sausage and coffees, we also picked some things up from the pantry shop area. Locally sourced organic and seasonal produce. The best shop ever! Thank you see you again real soon!
