Harry Gow Bakery at Union St. was one of my favorite spots during our trip to Scotland. This…read moreScottish bakery has multiple locations, and they are very popular throughout the United Kingdom. I heard about one of their baked goods called the Dream Ring so I knew that I must try this while we were in Inverness. This particular bakery location was very clean, and the staff was polite. They were patient with us as we decided what we wanted to purchase. Everything looked amazing! They don't carry just sweet treats. They also make a multitude of savory items as well. We ended up buying (4) sweets to try later. They packaged it up nicely in a cool looking box. All four treats were yummy. My wife's favorite was the Strawberry Tart which looked good, but tasted even better than its looks. How about their Dream Ring? Did I like it? Oh Yeah!! You bet I liked it!! That Dream Ring doughnut of theirs looks simple, and it tastes dreamy!! I don't know what it is about it that makes it taste so good. Maybe it's the dough or maybe it's the icing or maybe it's the delicious bakers cream inside the Dream Ring. Whatever the reason....the whole thing just works so well and tastes wonderful! If I had known that I would like it so much, then I would have bought their Giant Dream Ring!! Yup, they got a Giant one too!! Harry Gow Bakery is a fabulous bakery. I can see why they've won Scottish Baker of the year multiple times. They bake everything from scratch. No pre-mix ingredients in their products. Do yourself a favor and stop by Harry Gow Bakery when you are in Inverness. If you don't like the place, then I don't know what is wrong with you!! LOL!! Just kidding. Everybody's different. Seriously, though. Give them a try!!

This place is a slightly better quality but over priced Greggs. Most recently I was stung by having…read moreto pay £1.70 for a bit if caramel shortcake the size of a post it. However they do a delicious cup cake with icing in the centre. The hot food is ok, and the butterys are to die for, allegedly ( buttery = someone sitting on a croissant and still trying to sell it to you, usually anywhere north if Perth) but I can't say I've been tempted to try them. If u want something hot go somewhere else independent, if you want a cake it's good, but overpriced. What ever you say they keep the rampant Greggs pastry monster out of the north so they must be doing something right. That or there is a sadly lacking choice for hot lunchtime snacks.

Unbelievably overpriced, charging same prices for meals as actual restaurants and pubs which was never what charlies was, it was always greasy spoon cafe. Also changed ingredients. Used to love their rolls now by looks of it they use basic white rolls from Tesco bakery which makes it feel and taste cheap. Used to go weekly, now wouldn't go back again.
