Roads End Cafe is a lifesaver at this time of the year, we were on the NC500 and fancied a bite to eat when we got to John o Groats. It is such a basic cafe but still serves hot toasties/sandwiches, soup and small cakes/scones. The lady that served us was lovely, so welcoming and willing to go the extra mile, she even recommended the haggis and cheese toastie which I couldn't turn down.
Since it was so quiet, it was takeaway only but she let us sit in due to the gale force winds outside. I have to say the toasties are the best I have had in a while and not even that expensive despite the location, absolutely fantastic. It is a little gem if you're looking for something eat when you reach the most northernly point in Scotland!
If this was the best of British as described on the blackboard in the picture I'd seriously be concerned by the worst. The vast array of blackboards gives the impression there's a lot to offer which is sadly not the case! A large menu board gives no further clue to what's on offer besides Sandwiches and toasties and it still took a lifetime of finding out what was i side them. We eventually opted for the toasties which gave a little more clue as to the flavours. As a side note if you ask they simply reply " check the menu!" These toasties turned out to be as blandest as blandest could be. This is the last cafe in Scotland and the last time we'll ever visit.
I got told loads before coming to John O'Groats that it was boring, nothing to do and not that interesting... Pish! Absolute nonsense! They obviously weren't served by Rosie at the Roads End Coffee shop and they obviously didn't have their £3.50 breakfast cooked to perfection or an amazing fruit scone. If I didn't live 300 miles away I think I'd be a regular. Thanks for the service ????
Wasn't the best coffee, hot chocolate was the best though.
Indoor seating is very dull and dark, if the weather is good the few benched outdoor would be the best place to sitdown.
Visited in Jan 2020. Expecting this place to be a ghost town which it was, still great to visit though.
Popped into coffee shop for a chicken sandwich, which is exactly what I got. Seriously unimpressed with the effort that went into making it however... Bland, literally some squashed white bread slices and cold chicken..... Looked terrible, and was bland!
Not sure what I was expecting, but this is ridiculous.
We popped in to this quaint little cafe at the beginning of November, the lady was very friendly & very accommodating (we were the large party of 8)!
Delicious soups and sandwiches!!
My niece, especially enjoyed her rocky road chocolate bar!
Highly recommend!
Had a couple of toasties and a tea while stopping by for the views. Decent toastie. Just a simple shop with a gift store next door
After a cold and windy day of travelling we were so pleased to be so warmly welcomed by the lovely lady at this cafe (I believe her name was Bea?) and delicious hot breakfast. I cannot say enough good things about the service and hospitality of the people both in the shop and in the cafe. Brightened a cloudy day and gave us some tips for our travels. Thanks to Elaine for the tablet recipe too! ????
