Best KPortal Reviews

I am so pleased to have across this cute cafe while I was travelling in Scotland for the first one.
Their scones were fresh out of the over and the coffee is to die for. Also sausage rolls was delicious too. And everything came for a reasonable price.
This cafe is a gem!
Finally, I got to try Thyme & Plaice & wasn't the slightest bit disappointed. Had lunch. Very friendly chef/staff & the food was amazing. Staff were very attentive. Dad & I had lobster & prawn salad, which was very filling. John had a full butchers breakfast. We all had something for pudding. None of us were fit for dinner. I took 2 cakes home to mum. Great value for money & lovely food. Can't recommend highly enough. What a gem of a place.
They do late night servings on a Thursday, Friday & Saturday, they serve food until 8pm.
Dog friendly.
Really lovely service from friendly, helpful staff.
Varied menu, from just a tea or a coffee, soup, sandwiches, cakes and puddings, to home made pizzas, starters /light bites to full meals.
Everything homemade and cooked to order. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
It's Cyclist and dog friendly.
A real gem of a place.
I can see why this restaurant has 5 star reviews. Delicious food and fantastic service by Robert. We are vegetarian and we were given various options of food including vegan options too. Best toastie I've had in a long time and the lemon cake we had was mouth-watering. Glad we stopped here on the way to North Scotland. Definitely recommend!
We stopped in this village on the way up to John o Groats and on the way down. We thought we would try a different cafe to the first visit and we were delighted.
To call the staff here friendly would be an understatement, they were fab giving out local knowledge and places to stop on our long journey back to inverness.
Tasty bacon and sausage sandwhich.
Vegetarian breakfast options available. A lovely oat milk cappuccino. Cash only due to technical problems but this was clearly displayed. The home made cakes looked fab too.
Lovely food, great service and good value for money, a great stop off if your driving thru!
A great place to have a nice leisurely lunch. Wonderful, friendly host and terrific freshly prepared food. A real treat.
Shame we only wanted coffee and cake, we reckon the mains would have been exceptional if the cakes were anything to go by. I had the Victoria sponge, which was freshly made and was like my gran made the other half had a fruit scone which was still warm and again, was exceptional. That just leaves the coffee. The other half thought it was the best coffee she had tasted all week, and she's very particular with her coffee's, believe me. Learned quite a lot about the locals, Edwin Collins to be exact, from the owner so its deffinately worth a visit.
Update, this place was so good, made a point of returning in the week with friends. They both had the haddock and said it was very good, all freshly cooked. We both had fresh dressed crab, and they were both excellent. I exchanged my salad for chips and they were the best in a long time. This is a really good plaice????
