I cannot recommend for breakfast. My eggs Benedict bread was rock hard, the egg completely cooked through and overall not very tasty. The pancakes were clearly frozen/pre made. Disappointing.

Want to know, why chains like Starbucks, Costa, etc. are winning the Coffeeshop Wars? Well, because smaller places like this one treat their customers like cash cows that have no place inside unless they keep a steady stream of coins coming.Coffee Shop, that once stood for community, calm, warmth, and relaxation. Luxe, calme, et velupte. Today, in some cases, it stands for "no laptops allowed" and "you've overstayed your one coffee."An acceptable policy if there's a line around the block or even just a filled café. But if that kind of mindset is applied to an almost empty front of the house, being negative towards those who "linger" or, God forbid, treat the place like a coffee house (only that today's newspapers are Google News on your tablet, today's crossword is online in the NYT), you'll wind up with a railway waiting room atmosphere of rushed drinkers and unhappy patrons who will, next time, go to Costa.Impolitely implore someone to bugger off because they spent 30 minutes over one coffee and a buttered scone, and you'll probably not see them and their friends again tomorrow. Instead, Mikel will. Or Costa. Or the Starbucks Mermaid.I have a suggestion: treat every one of your customers like the one who'll come in next week with an order that'll allow you to buy Westminster Abbey. And, who knows, you just might.

Came here to sit and enjoy a drinks with family on a holiday to Inverness. Had a wonderful milkshake, good price and just had a lovely vibe to the place! We were playing a game that was quiet and did not disturb anyone. However the reason we were told to leave was that 'no board games are allowed'? Bit confused as we would have ordered more drinks to stay longer but this was not the impression we got. Also there were customers that had been there longer than us and no one came to the table to tell them to start heading out as per policy? Just a bit confusing to experience all this! Still Inverness has my heart and I will definitly visit again just maybe not this coffee shop (and definitly not for long!!).I would still recommend this place if you intend not to stay long :) But anyone wanting to study or work I would not advise.Thankyou.

"No board games allowed" - kicked out for a quite game...Edit:I am totally aware and understanding that we should probably have acted differently ourselves and after the total of 2 hours (if we hadn't left by then) we should purchase another drink or some food and that if there were lots of people coming in, the cafe would need a table and we should leave.However this wasn't the case. The cafe was not busy and there was no one needing our table. We were asked after only an hour for another drink and we said that we were okay for now (with intention of getting something a little later) as we had only recently finished our drinks and wanted to wait a short period before getting a second round as a group. This was met immediately with being asked to leave. Are you requesting that we purchase something as soon as we finish the first thing without delay? There were others in the cafe who had been there the same amount of time without purchasing another item and they were not asked to leave either so we were left confused about this also.I have reflected on this and of course we should have just purchased something else when asked however I stand by the fact it was unnecessary to ask us to leave after an hour and to give the reason of "no board games allowed" is slightly unwelcoming.I am sorry if there has been a misunderstanding but if your policy stands that there are no board games then I cannot recommend the cafe for people who like that kind of thing. If this isn't your policy then why were we told to leave on this basis?I have genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service here in the past. The staff and friendly and it's a comfortable place to be. However I am confused why we were met with such unfriendliness in this circumstance.Hope you can help clear things up. And I'd be happy to replace this review if we can as I'd prefer to be able to recommend this place again like I used to.------------I very rarely leave reviews but was left very frustrated when we were kicked out of the cafe for playing board games. The atmosphere was honestly nice and I have been a couple of times before. We bought drinks and after only 1hr of sitting in the cafe we were asked to leave because we'd just finished our drinks and wanted to wait before getting another whilst playing a quiet board game. We tried to finish our game quickly but before the 2hr mark had come we were told "No Board Games Allowed here" so we had to leave immediately. The cafe wasn't even busy at the time and there were plenty of tables of all sizes so we weren't holding up their business. It ruined a nice day with my family that were visiting Inverness.I have no clue why the staff member was adamant to get us out and we would have bought another drink if we weren't asked to leave. On principle I wouldn't recommend this cafe at all now and from now on I won't be going back which is a shame.

I ordered an Almond Croissant and a Flat white, Total was 7.15The Almond Croissant was a little undercooked. Both the frosting and almond paste were sickly sweet, so overall it turned it into sort of a dessert rather than a pastry. It wasn't very good .The coffee in the Flat white was burned so it turned quite bitter, it was also a little stale. Overall it wasn't very enjoyable, it tasted exactly like any big chain coffee, so I suppose if you like the taste of big chains and the serving size of small independent coffee shops you might enjoy this.Overall not a great experience.

The male manager is a dreadful little man who spoke to us in a rude and abrupt manner. Wouldn?t listen to us about our complaint and barred us without any reason. I?ve been going there since it opened and spent hundreds there, the female manager is so nice and friendly and I am bitterly disappointed in his behaviour. Nasty little man syndrome. He threatened us and he was so close to hitting me. Liar and could see mouse droppings which he didn?t like when pointed out to him. So he became abusive to us. Won?t ever be back.

Super sweet service. We ordered ham/cheese toast and to our surprise it was served with coleslaw, chips and salad. Delicious!
