Cow&Parrot coffee store — Restaurant in Scotland

I would love to give this new cafe a 5 star review but our experience fell somewhat short of that. I get that this is a new business, and I wish them well, but in my experience there are a few fundamentals that need improved. One is that the staff seem more interested in conversations with specific customers, and between themselves, than noticing what is going on in the cafe. I tried three times to say "excuse me" to attract attention, whilst standing in the middle of a fairly empty cafe, but the younger staff member was so absorbed in chatting they just didn't notice.

DOGS. One word of warning to people afraid of our canine friends. This is a dog friendly establishment. Dogs are allowed to roam. Great for most of us but I know my mum would have been...

I have a soft-spot for cafés with animal names so the Cow and Parrot was of course top of my list to visit when in Aberfeldy. Very cosy vibes with lots of reclaimed wooden furniture and traditional rugs. I sank in to a comfortable leather sofa (thank you to the lovely lady who let me share with her as the popular café was packed) and enjoyed a bowl of soup and then stayed to have a pastry for pudding. I would have happily spent longer enjoying the atmosphere and food, but a walk round the Birks of Aberfeldy was calling to burn off a few of the...
