"Brilliant little establishment in Cowie - fell upon it while researching Celtic and Pictish remains/settlements Petroglyphs in the area. Gorgeous home made soup. Sit in - take out and what appears to be garden seating to the rear. I'll be back."

"Came across this little cafe today after a long morning with my disabled son who was a bit cranky . The staff upon arrival were so friendly and big smiles. I can tell this place must be a local gem as it was getting quite busy and lots of friendly chat amongst everyone. The menu has amazing options from soups , sandwiches , chips , all day breakfast and nice cakes"

"Real food, freshly made by a cook that enquires about your wishes and who makes suggestions. I had the 3 egg omelette, made to perfection: sausage, bacon and cheese were diced and fried and folded into the omelette. Turkish hospitality & feeling for clients and atmosphere"
