Coffee shops and tea rooms Scotland

Adjacent to the most commercial streets of the New Town, it is a popular place to go after a shopping spree. Trendy, girly, two English adjectives to sum up the atmosphere of the place. The details are meticulous: round armchairs upholstered in raspberry pink and deep blue, floral tea set and hourglass to serve it after perfect infusion . Amateurs will enjoy choosing from about forty teas from all over the world. As an accompaniment, multiple options for the little ones, at any time of the afternoon!

Go green in the heart of the business district... If you are staying in the West End or passing through the area, make a stopover in this atypical establishment, totally original! Drink coffee and then buy plants, or the other way around. Or drink coffee among the plants. Even better, add a slice of homemade cake and discover new species, garden tips and tricks, and take the time to breathe, not in the great outdoors, but in the green. The concept is as original as it is seductive, and successful!

"It's all about the cake", announces the front... Pastries of all kinds are in the spotlight here, and gourmets will turn it into a mini-palace of temptation. For a sweet break, choose from cupcakes, brownies, scones, chocolate bites, caramel slices, shortbreads or generous cream and sponge cakes. All this, of course, comes in different varieties. To be served with tea, coffee or hot chocolate (they too have their gourmet version). Savoury palates will also find their happiness (sandwiches and soups).

A tea room in a garden center... And why not! Especially when the tea room in question is located in a pleasant veranda and offers a breathtaking view, hence its name. They serve you sandwiches, quiches, soups or salads at lunchtime, as well as a nice assortment of home-made pastries. The atmosphere is family, and simplicity is the order of the day. Take advantage of your visit to do a little shopping in the adjoining store: between colorful decorative objects and local products, there's a lot of cracks in the air..

Located in Balnakeil Craft Village, an entire village dedicated to creative artisans and organized around their workshop-shops, this tea & chocolate shop will be a welcome stop for gourmands. What could be better than a good hot chocolate, ultra gourmet, to warm up after a hike or a wet day out? You can add a homemade cookie or another cake, chocolates to enjoy on the spot or to take away - for yourself or in anticipation of the return trip. Take advantage of your break to take a tour of this village like no other.

This small coffee and tea shop is located in the former Victorian railway station of the city. This one has kept its charm of yesteryear, rehabilitated in space of independent shops and museum of childhood. Between two purchases, after a cultural visit or a nature excursion, this pretty establishment should make you happy. A soup and a generous sandwich for lunch, or a decadent hot chocolate, with a slice of cake that's even more decadent: there's plenty to tempt you. You will be able to taste one or the other inside or on the terrace in fine weather.

19 Crepes&Coffee is a newcomer to Elgin and it has made its mark. Generosity and creativity are at the forefront here. The café combines Scottish and French inspirations through a menu of savory and sweet snacks. On the menu, pancakes of course, like our Breton pancakes, but also paninis, salads, cakes, scones, waffles, hot chocolates, identical coffees... You can also taste a "full Scottish breakfast" and, on the salty side, paninis with haggis. Why not dare to discover?

This small establishment is a friendly and warm Jura address where everything is homemade: scones, cupcakes and other pastries. Soup, sandwiches and burgers are also freshly made! Why not treat yourself to an afternoon tea? The décor is simple and traditional, with wooden furniture and walls where photos and paintings by local artists are sometimes displayed. A shop area with handicrafts completes the offer

Local, freshly prepared food: that's what this friendly tea shop and restaurant believes in. That, and also that the products from Scotland are the best in the world. We will gladly prove them right! Everything here is simple and good. The menu and the suggestions change regularly, according to the seasons and the inspirations in the kitchen. Everything served is homemade, even jams, chutneys... Coffee and tea are also locally sourced: teas from Braithwaites (Dundee) and coffee from CG Coffee (Glasgow).

This coffee isn't just coffee... Located in the charming setting of a water mill, it is also a bookstore and an art gallery. A cosy and cultural place, warm and relaxed, it is one of those establishments where you could spend several hours. You will find freshly ground coffee, teas of course, homemade cakes, sandwiches and soups of the day. In the summer, a sunny terrace pushes the walls and offers another beautiful space to take your time.

This lovely café-tea room is located halfway between the Talisker distillery and Dunvegan Castle & Gardens: it is therefore the perfect stopover between two visits on Skye. The charm works thanks to a decoration between vintage and girly, but probably also because the place is a bookshop. In the plate, it is not a question of being seduced anymore: we are conquered by the home-made scones, the various pastries and cakes, the snacks, soups and dishes. Everything is freshly prepared and tasty, all in a warm family atmosphere.
