We found this little gem of a place right around the corner from our hostel whilst looking for breakfast one morning... it was so good we ate there the next day too!
The location is super-convenient to train/bus stations and very close to Victorian Marketplace.
They serve really high-quality food including free-range organic eggs - you could really taste the difference in their meats (mmm, bacon *drool*), and their on-site roasted coffee and selection of "exotic" teas was AMAZING.
In addition to the utterly scrumptious food and drinks, there is free WiFi, and if you snag the right table, you'll have access to a plug to juice-up your phone or laptop (this was MUCH needed one morning).
If I'm recalling correctly, most of the staff are disadvantaged youth learning about the hospitality industry from seasoned professionals (the business is a non-profit), and the "young people" serving us were quite lovely. There were a few things they had to ask more than once, but we liked that they were thorough and eager to help the customers.
I'd have to say that this is probably my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Inverness. Yes, cheaper places exist, but Artysans is VERY reasonable for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere, and they're putting good vibes into the community and the world (bonus)! read more
