It's a nice little place on Moffat High Street with nice traditional decor (feels a little…read moreParisian!) good coffee and plenty of seating. I would visit again. It has working wifi and the staff are pleasant. There's at least one table with a plug socket by it. It's only a 3 star review because of food quality, price and ambience. Quality: The scone came with squirty cream and jam in little plastic pots like at a hotel breakfast. Not terrible, but not really what you'd hope for. Soup was pleasant though not exceptional, served with a very cheap white roll which was fresh but not nice. Should just underline - it's proper coffee and well made, so if that's what you're after this is a great place. Price: The traditional breakfast is £8.90! Including coffee, but still. Jacket with cheese and beans £6.50. Toasties all over £4.50. So, not outrageous but for the quality not great. Finally, ambience: the radio in the kitchen is playing bad rock music from Radio 1 coupled with the ranting of a day time DJ and jingles. It is audible throughout the cafe, the staff chatting behind the counter the only other noise. The fridges hum and some of the tables have got staff working at them preparing for tomorrow I guess (we're here latish in the day). It's not outrageous, but it makes it distinctly less homely to be here. So overall, somewhere that is perfectly passable and definitely not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to spend time. With a few tweaks or maybe on a different day might be much better. Didn't try the cakes but there's a fine selection and they cook really good.

The 'Mission Statement' on the wall is, "Provide and serve healthy wholesome food in a warm and inviting atmosphere" and they do that in spades. It's a comfortable cafe with delightful decor and colours - everything is clean including the brightly patterned tablecloths; the food is excellent and very good value (better than any we've found in Dumfries and we've tried out several places over the last few years). There's a great breakfast menu, snacks of many kinds, soup and fresh bread, sandwiches, toasties, panini, rolls, baguettes, vegetarian choices and so much more. I had a baked potato and I was surprised and delighted that it was a good size and heaped with cheese and coleslaw (so often these days you get a small potato with hardly any filling!) It also arrived with an eye-catching fresh salad which included slices of orange and tortilla chips - not bad at all these days for only £5.25! My husband had a scrambled egg roll which he said was lovely - fresh and delicious and only £2.25 (where else would you find that?) There is a huge choice of drinks both hot and cold; good teas and coffees, hot chocolate and more. The owner is very pleasant and helpful as was the lady who brought our meals to the table. We'll definitely go straight there the next time we're in Dumfries!

Dumfries could really use more spots like this - the centre of town has too few lunch venues: I really hope the folk here go from strength to strength. The place has some nice touches, free wifi, and a good selection of options on the menu, together with a specials board. I went for the New Yorker ciabatta: pastrami and gherkins and cheese, toasted perfectly. Came with a nice salad, a few crisps and a creamy coleslaw. Service was prompt and very friendly. Couple of rough edges - minor decor touch ups requires, and inside tables are hilariously wide: you'll wanting to be sat next to, rather than across from anybody you're with. But that's no bad thing- they've only been open a short while, and doesn't detract from things in the slightest. Also we almost walked past: think they could use a bit more obvious signage. Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Dumfries.

Enjoyed the goat cheese, beet root, rocket ciabatta and a freshly made scone with a side of fresh cream. The kids menu was very reasonable at £2/ea and both ate their plates clean. One had the smoked ham with cheddar, the other smoked ham with goat cheese. Nice corner of toys and color pages for kids to bring back to tables. Would definitely come back to this sweet shop!

Goats in the field, hens roaming free, and two water wheels - one working to mill the flour. The cafe has a very limited menu, but what they do they do extremely well.

There's a selection of organic foods and gifts to take home, as well as baked goods. Try the onion bread! More expensive than average, but well worth it. And once you rejoin the main road turn left to continue over Hartside - a stunning drive.
