I tried to call and ask for availability, but the woman on the phone did not offer much assistance. She did not offer any reservation options and was unwilling to help. Not sure how anyone is supposed to get a booking unless you know a local. Not very accommodating to travelers. Because of lack of accommodation, I would not recommend to try and make a stop here if you are visiting from out of town.

We visited Aviemore back in June and a friend suggested we go here. A bakery within a nursery in the Highlands? Sounded interesting to me! It was pretty easy to find from Aviemore, about a 10 minute drive. When we arrived there was plenty of parking on the left hand side of the road, opposite the entrance. To get to the bakery (called The Potting Shed) you walk through a beautiful nursery, the tea rooms are at the back. You can sit in the main tea room area or in a side room where you can eat cake and take in a spot of birdwatching as well. Sadly this area was full but there was plenty of seats for us in the tea room. As we sat down, the staff laid out the cakes on the counter (they keep them in the fridge until customers come in). Honestly, they laid out about 10 cakes on the counter for us to drool over (not literally). We all took it in turns picking out a piece of cake and ordering tea, and the treats were quickly delivered to us. They even had a good range of gluten free selections and the cake itself was heavenly. This was a really lovely stop off in the Highlands and I would highly recommend it if you're anywhere in the area.

This place has been named as one of Britain's Top 10 cake shops by the well respected Dan Lepard! Last time I was here I was pregnant and suffering with hypermesis gravidarium (extreme morning sickness), and wasn't up to sampling any cake. However I thoroughly enjoyed watching the red squirrels and the birds from the viewing area which overlooks the wildlife feeding station. Today I finally got to sample some cake. There was a huge variety of cakes on offer. I plumped for plain old Chocolate Cake. On tasting, this cake was far from plain - it was deliciously light and moist, not too rich and had the most beautiful shiny chocolate glaze on top, finished off with a dollop of cream. I could have eaten this twice! I may have to fit in another visit before we head back to Glasgow at the end of the week!

We arrived on a quiet afternoon, where the town seemed absolutely dead and we were the only people dining. The decor is absolutely adorable with giant tables, fairy-lights and hand-written signage. It very much seems like a labor-of-love for whomever owns it. We were shocked at the low prices. This was probably our least expensive meal on our whole trip, including fast food stops. We didn't order the afternoon tea (served on a cake stand) but I was stunned that it was less than five pounds. In London, we spent 40 pounds for a similar experience and that was on the low end of afternoon tea pricing. I ate a 1/2 BTL and a bowl of cream of potato and leek soup. My husband had a ham, mozzarella and pineapple panini. We loved out meals! We topped them off with a brownie and a tropical fruit dessert bar. The bakery has a very extensive selection and everything looked great. Besides the atmosphere and food being outstanding, we had a wonderful server. We are so happy that we stopped at Poppy's!
