Bread & Butter Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

What a wee gem of a place. My friend Elina took me out on a bright cool February Saturday brunch, we had both walked our dogs and were slightly famished. I ordered the avocado on muffin with smoked salmon, spinach, a perfectly poached egg and hollandaise sauce, oh my I was in heaven. The muffin, toasted to perfection and lathered in butter, the egg with its almost creamy runny yolk, the spinach still bright and green. I didn’t want to stop devouring it. The cortado coffee, smooth and delicious, served in the perfect size cup.

The service was excellent, the Irish lady that asked if everything was okay with our meal had the warmest and genuine smile, was like a warm hug you get when you’re at home visiting your mum. The atmosphere just right, buzzing a little with the chatter of other customers tucking in and catching up with each other.

At the end when I couldn’t eat anymore, I took home their blueberry frangipan, pastry nice and crisp and filling perfectly sweetened, not too much was eaten back home with a cuppa.

Really recommend this place, you must give it a try, if you love fresh food, served with care and attention and loads of flavour ❤️❤️

A bonus, it’s dog...

Came in for lunch after a particularly long bus ride from Edinburgh and was really looking for comfort food - this cafe definitely delivered!

The menu is small but has quite a few vegetarian options! I ordered the quesadilla which is not traditional but nonetheless it was good! The portion size is perfect too.

I also got the rosemary chocolate brownie (which is not a combination I’ve come across before) and was a bit skeptical but that was delicious too.

The orange juice is not 100% fresh in the sense that it was probably squeezed in the morning - just something to be aware of if you are particularly sensitive to fermentation flavour (it is mild, but it’s there!)

The service is attentive...

Just to be clear, this is not a trendy hipster coffee shop that it tries to be, it's just basic. It hasn't been made to "look" like old chic but IS decorated and fitted out with old tat. The food was to say the least awful. The only good thing about the soup was it was hot. The cakes were so dry and out of date ( or left open to the elements ) that I could use it to sand down the rusty chairs. My cappuccino was rank. Lumps at the bottom. Either from the sachet not getting stirred properly or from bits of dry sponge falling in from the counter. Avoid if I were you,...
