What a lovely cafe and book shop. We had a really nice lunch that was great value. Highly recommended
Sat outside in the lovely courtyard garden for a very late tasty snack lunch, good mug of coffee, and very delicious apple cake. Service was slow - we arrived just behind a lot of other customers and they had to dash to the shops to restock some items as they'd been unexpectedly busy. Perhaps due to another cafe being shut for the week? Would definitely return.
The only place we could find open that catered for dog-owners and those gluten intolerant. The Beltie has super friendly people in an environment that leans more towards an eatery that a book-seller I would say. Gluten-free options are limited but then that's 'par for the course' unfortunately. When my wife and I left our attitude was that was alright. However we were glad we decided to opt for cake from Cafe Rendezvous (which doesn't allow dogs) and were rewarded with a divine orange and almond confection. A nice café but not the best place to eat in Wigtown.
I called onto Beltie today with 2 friends. We had a lovely table next to the window, looking out to the garden.
We all chose something different and we all enjoyed our choices. We had a lovely relaxed time. The staff: 2 members - one serving, the other- the chef were friendly and helpful.
Lovely cafe. Great coffee and dog friendly inside. Also has a lovely wee garden, which is a real sun trap. Highly recommend their chocolate cake too.
Staff friendly enough but food very average. Cheese toasty had minimal cheese and the chutney that came with it was enough to feed, well nobody really as there was hardly any. As previous reviews have said, make sure you have a good look at the menu at the front door before you sit down as there are no menus on the tables. Overpriced as well. Go elsewhere.
We called in for afternoon coffee, we ended up having a slice each of home made cake delicious. We asked could we take dog in, no problem so he sat under table waiting for scraps, friendly cafe with book shop at front and cafe behind plus on sunny days sliding doors to let the outside in or if you like the inside out. Nice gentleman running it who makes all the cakes himself.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Gorgeous garden.
Great coffee.
Delicious soup and buttery.
We bought the fig cake to take away. Best cake in the world!
