When you first enter there's a shelf to your right just FULL of beautiful looking cakes and sweets (do NOT help yourself!), the till to your left, and beyond that a little cafe where you can enjoy lunch items. We decided on two americanos and a piece of victoria sponge. The young woman working was incredibly friendly, but she seemed either new or out of the loop regarding certain things. There was no milk for our coffees (she didn't know they had run out until we had already paid) and when we asked about a few of the baked goods she mostly shrugged and smiled. No big deal, we were very happy with our takeaway selection. The coffees were piping hot and the cake was melt-in-your-mouth good. It was a smaller slice than we were expecting, and next time we'd for sure get two or three different slices to share (or probably just stay and enjoy the cafe/courtyard area and really tucky in to even more!). Lovely, lovely coffee shop and I'm so glad we found it!

Stepping foot inside the farm shop you are met with a marvellous mass of colour - succulent strawberries, beautiful blueberries, rosy raspberries and cheery cherries already picked from the surrounding fields and ready to take home. Move past these (if you can, they're on 3 for £6 mix and match!), and you'll find homemade jams, fresh breads and bakes, eggs, vegetables and plenty chilled goodies all screaming to be picked. To my utmost joy I also spotted a coffee machine and with sheltered seating next to the shop in the form of one of the fruit tunnels, I can't think of anything better to do on a sunny afternoon than gaze into the Perthshire countryside with fresh fruit and a cuppa, oh happy days! On the other side of the shop you can also buy some lovely plants and flowers to take away (I'm not very green-fingered so will admit to not spending much time noting the details here!). Okay so if you're thinking that's all very nice sounding, but it seems too much of a trek for you then good news! They park up at one of the Glasgow farmers markets (Partick I believe) too! And, having had their raspberries with my breakfast all this week, trust me, it's worth the visit, there's nothing better than fresh Scottish berries :-)

Upon entering, we were met by a young server named Kirsty (She was new and enthusiastic!) who directed us to a booth and handed us our menu which was attached to the inside of some old magazine annuals - a quirky and different approach to some of the other coffee shops I've visited in the surrounding area. The shop's interior is a mix and match of fabrics, ornaments and artwork alongside stacks of books - some of which appeared to pre-date my own existence! It's definitely a relaxed environment to grab a bite to eat, though it seems rather busy if a little cluttered with all the items. It was undeniably charming, though I'll be up-front by highlighting that my personal preference is the clean, minimalist styles more frequently found in larger coffee chains. After much deliberation I ordered a Cajun chicken ciabatta which came with a side of salad and some nachos with a can of coke to drink. The Cajun chicken filling was great, though the ciabatta was a little more tough than I would have preferred. The salad was fresh, though only contained one slice of cucumber and one slice of tomato - not to my taste though. The nachos were just your average nachos - with no additional sauce - I just dipped them into the Cajun chicken. The only issue I had was with the knives, they were blunt. I tried two and neither was sharp enough to cut through the bread. Lunch was - as a result - a little more messy than it should have been! Now for dessert... I ordered the Victoria sponge while my sister decided that she wanted the toffee sponge cake along with a cup of tea. The portion size was generous - three cups of tea from the teapot and each cake slice could have easily been split between two! The Victoria sponge was light and fluffy, with a nice layer of buttercream and jam sandwiching the two together - delicious! Unfortunately, the toffee sponge contained raisins (sneaky little things that ruin even the nicest of desserts) and didn't have the most pleasant taste. My sister left most of this to go to waste, having been a little disappointed by the stark contrast with the cake she had purchased on her previous visit. Madigan's is a cute little place, which serves its niche within the market well and is popular amongst the locals. Perhaps - with regards to the cake - it was just a bad batch - there's always next time! It's not necessarily my cup of tea but it's worth a look next time you're in town! :)

I'd headed here based on recommendations from colleagues, and left pleased as punch. I've a feeling that D'Nisi is going fast become my go-to morning coffee spot on those occasions when the caffeine is a-calling; days like those are inevitable, and D'Nisi is waiting. It was busy when I arrived, with a steady queue of folks waiting. I received a warm and friendly welcome; not just at the desk but as I came in, which was lovely. Staff were working fast, and I had a wee wait, but I was happy to wait a tad longer for my latte to go considering just how busy it was. The result was worth every second, and I'm going to go all out and say that I think I'm going to struggle to find a better coffee in town. Delicious, and with a perfect frothy milk top. Ensuring that morning coffee from D'Nisi doesn't become a daily one...Now, that's going to be a challenge!
