Customer feedback highlights an inviting atmosphere, especially enjoyed during quieter afternoons. Patrons like Sam Palmer celebrated the cafe's pleasant ambience, remarking on the delightful afternoon offer of a hot drink paired with a festive mince pie. The candy cane hot chocolate and caramel fudge latte were particular standouts, both deliciously indulgent and perfect for the season. However, the digital menu's rolling ads created a slight delay during ordering, which added a bit of suspense to the experience.
The quality of the food is commendable, with reviews pointing to beautifully presented dishes that are worth the wait—even if the kitchen sometimes runs at a slower pace. Asra Qayyum focused on the superb breakfast options, relishing the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. A suggestion floated for more optional sides, like salad, to complement the robust flavors. There's a consensus that while service got a bit frenzied at times, the caring staff made up for it by offering complimentary treats in light of delays. This unique blend of attentive service and quality offerings makes each visit feel special.

We came I to Dumfries late afternoon to do a few things, so it was nice to find somewhere that was open later than most (to 6pm) so we could have a sit down and a drink. The pleasant thing for us as well at this time of day (5pm) it was really quiet in here, so easy to get served and relaxing to sit for a while. They had an afternoon offer on for a hot drink and mince pie, which we went for and we enjoyed. We had the candy cane hot chocolate and the caramel fudge latte. Both were tasty, but sticky! And the mince pies with crumble topping were good too. The only thing I would say was that when ordering, the offer for the mince pie and drink, with its times and drink flavours was displayed on the digital screens as part of the menu as a rolling advert. So it would be on the screen for a few seconds and then off again and we'd have to wait for it to come back to see the drink options so we could choose. It wasn't only us, it was the girl serving us as well as I think she wasn't used to it either. So that took us a little time to sort out and get through, but we got there in the end.

A beautiful place. Set like a designer airport restaurant with competitive prices and tasty food. Exhausting choice of bakery. Good quantity and quality of breakfast. Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. Bread was superb. Could add some optional salad as it goes well with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.

Really nice place to chill out, especially with super sunny weather, slightly pricy but excellent customer service. Wanted more cream in my drink, they were happy to oblige. Kitchen slow to release food, service could be quicker especially when staff were running around like a headless chicken. Staff in kitchen are clearly disorganised as food is taking longer to come out Was the food worth the wait, let's wait and see... Plate scorching hot.. Meaning staying under heat lamp for long periods of time.. Is the food still safe.. Maybe I'll have to take a sample to the lab for pathogen testing? The food was worth the wait and beautifully presented with some chips, would like to see more diversity on the plate but that is not the staffs' fault. Nice decor, slightly loud when preparing food, nice lighting, good location, excellent range of food. Covid19 safe. Will I come again, the waitress did come over and offered us free cake for the wait, I was not expecting this hence I will say the customer service is excellent and we will be coming back here however not for a meal for 2 but with a group of people incase our food is delayed. I do have to say that the ambiance is excellent with the right crowd. A catch up session with a group of friends.. Come here

Lovely cafe. Had to wait 50 minutes for food today that they said was due to high order of deliveries but we weren't told beforehand. To be fair we did get free cake as an apology for the wait and the food was really good. Staff members were really nice and friendly, could not be more accomodating. Regardless of the wait I would definitely go again. The air conditioning was amazing especially since it was about 30 degrees out.
