Best KPortal Reviews

Stopped in on a short visit to Ballater (charming little village). Lovely coffees and cakes. A little background music might lift the atmosphere. But worth a visit if you're in the area.
This is a very simple breakfast and lunch cafe with basic sandwiches, friendly service and amazing homemade deserts. The prices are very reasonable and they have a good selection of drinks. Parking can be challenging but there are a few public lots nearby. Worth a stop for the deserts alone!
Charming little place with great ambiance and friendly staff. Food and cake was good too. Dog and child friendly ????????
Very good experience as always. Food was amazing, couldn't fault it. Butchers products used and homemade cakes ????. Very friendly staff who were happy to help. Only slight niggle was there was no hello on entry and had to ask staff member if we could just take a seat. Seen a few people walk in and linger awkwardly with no interaction from staff. But... it was a very busy day and when I spoke to staff they couldn't be more helpful. So this is a very very minor problem, wish I could give service 4.5 stars.
I really liked this place before (it was always lacking some atmosphere but staff/food was good) but the staff are very rude now. They were absolutely delighted that they couldn’t fit us in. Owners should probably invest in some customer service training.
Lovely little cafe! Friendly and efficient staff. Best toastie I've ever had and great Latte too! Wish it was closer to where I live, as I'd be a regular visitor. Highly recommended ♥️
Lovely wee cafe with excellent food. A small basic snack lunch menu (see attached pics) but interesting surprise items such as mars bar scones. There is only 10 tables including some comfy chairs. Next time you are in Ballater pop in for a coffee and cake or haggis pannini.
We stopped off in Ballater and saw this cafe. Looked quaint. Quiet on a sunny Saturday afternoon and the staff were very nice. Only gripes were re the cake choice (only orange cake which was nice enough although perhaps a little dry). Great big slice. Coffee and tea very nice. Would definitely try it again if we are in the area.
