We were greeted by the sweetest woman who patiently answered our questions about all the parties we we're interested in. We ordered a few things with our coffee and tea and headed to the back of the cafe to sit and eat. The back room was small, but bright. I nearly forgot to take photos of the food, it was so tasty! This town doesn't seem touristy like Speyside, but if you're passing through, be sure to stop here for a bite!

This service can however hold the queue up considerably. At the back of the shop is a small cafe. It's a traditional type of greasy spoon cafe. The sausage roll, chips and beans takes me straight back to my childhood and tastes damm fine. It's cheap, noisy and cheerful. The service is quick and efficient.

You know the kind - the type with cream cakes and sausage rolls, and lots of loaves of bread on the shelves behind the counter? This is that kind of bakery. The sausage rolls and Scotch pies are particularly good and they sell them hot and cold, I guess so you can heat them up later yourself. I've not tried the cream cakes but my partner was very happy with the cream rings they sell and the eclairs look amazing. They also have a cold drinks fridge, and a small stand selling oatcakes and jams and marmelades. There's no seating but it's an ideal place to pick up some lunch on the go, especially if you need something to warm you up.

We saw the Mountain Cafe mentioned in our travel book (Fodor's Travel Scotland, 2016), which said…read morethat it's "famed locally" and won a national award in 2014, so we had huge expectations and WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! First: we had to wait 15 minutes, but were given a buzzer for when our table was ready--per the hostess, we were able to go as far as the grocery store in town. We didn't mind the wait, as it gave us time to pop into the tourist shop and buy postcards and stamps. The wait was worth it! I had a coffee, one of the best coffees I've ever had, and we sat enjoying the view of the mountains and the view of the pastries, piled in tantalizing piles on the far end of the shop. We each had a roll, mine w fried egg, bacon, and hash brown; hubby the same with sausage instead of bacon. The food was hot, fresh, and the ingredients locally sourced, and tasted so damn good. Every dish that made its way to neighboring tables looked ridiculously good too, and I kept saying I want to try that, and that, and that!! On our way out we bought a chocolate raspberry brownie and a macadamia bar, both items are rich and flavorful, and large enough that hubby and I have been enjoying them all day!! I seldom visit the same restaurant twice while on vacation, but while eating we both agreed that we're going back tomorrow for another amazing meal (and more pastries, I hope!!) before we had out of lovely Aviemore!

WOW (is this a way to start a review, not sure but) Wow…read more This may be one of the best places I've eaten in Scotland, no joke... and there's some great food in this country. My wife and I came here after an exhausting weekend away with teenagers... we were a bit sceptic as to whether or not there was decent food in Aviemore. Don't get me wrong, we figured we would find some ok food, but didn't expect it to be this good. We were told that we would need to get there as early as possible because of the wait... and we were like, this is an outdoor shop's cafe, it couldn't be that good. Well it is THAT good. As I said, you will more than likely have to wait (got this advice from a local)... and you could end up waiting for at least half an hour as we did. We finally got seated and were impressed with the menu thinking that the food couldn't be as good as it seems on the menu. But it was THAT good. I had a red bean burger (if I'm correct) that was SOOO tasty. They make the burgers here (not frozen like veggie burgers at other places). It may have easily been one of the best veggie burgers I've had in Scotland. It came with chips, which I wish I could've had more of but wouldn't have had the room for. To top it off, I had a pot of Eteaket tea with Red Velvet cake. So... a lot of places in Scotland try to do a great Red Velvet cake and end up with an OK red velvet cake. Mountain Cafe did an excellent red velvet. Both moist and dense. Sweet and SOOO filling. In the end, my wife had to roll me out the door and down the stair sideways. I was super full with excellent food. It may have cost a bit more than I would've normally paid for lunch, drink and a cake... but seriously I didn't care. Why isn't Aviemore closer?
