Café · Invermoriston
Two hours to kill before a Highland B&B check-in is exactly the sort of stretch this place absorbs well — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking mean you're not fighting the logistics before you've even sat down. Inside is small and genuinely cosy, records playing, and it does fill up: at busy times you may end up at an outdoor table, which is lovely in sun and less so in Scottish drizzle. The cakes are the reason people come back the next day — the passionfruit one especially, plus chocolate orange, with vegan and gluten-free options on the counter. Coffee is properly good, the full Scottish arrives piping hot, and the coronation chicken sandwich has fans. Hot chocolate keeps children happy. Staff are warm with everyone; one parent calls it "an absolute gem of a find".
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
