sign said to wait to be seated and indeed wait we did. Another couple waited behind us. A young girl walked past tables went behind the counter, came back out, walked back past the tables again and did not acknowledge that any one was waiting. customers told us they had the same problem and just sat down. At this point a young member of staff popped her head out from behind the counter and informed us she was on her own. quite rightly the other customers said the other person saw everyone but acted like we were not there. Sat down hoping to have some breakfast however menu was sadly lacking so we left. Wasnt the menu on the website and no staff gave any guidance or offered...

The location is lovely, but the service was truly disappointing. First, part of our order never arrived. When I asked about it, I was rudely told I hadn’t paid for it, so I paid again. After checking my bank account, I realised I had already paid in full. I informed the staff, but the response was dismissive. The woman simply said she was too busy with other customers, as though I was making an unreasonable request. Eventually, she handed me £4 and said, “OK, I believe you,” with no apology or concern.

As for the food, it was just as underwhelming. The crepes were tasteless, like a mix of plain flour and water, and the pancakes were more like poppadoms than...

Lovely wee cafe in a heritage centre. Scones and coffee very nice and friendly staff. You can sit outside by the river amidst the centuries old stones (with info on their age next to each one). Don’t forget to wander round the museum as well. There’s a small fee but worth it to learn more about the clearances and what the displaced families did to learn new skills. Small gift shop is nice too.

Overall, a great wee place to pop in and visit. If you’re on the NC500, there’s also overnight camping a short walk away (donation to RNLI appreciated which is a...

The café is found in the Timespan museum and has outdoor seating by the river and the old bridge , a bit too cold when we visited so we sat inside in the bright indoor area and found that the café was selling excellent Caribbean fare served up by Paulo in the Jam Fire Deli ,nice friendly lad and the food was fabulous , I had the wrap with the Ram Bam Lamb , jalapenos and the Bad Mama Jama sauce which was as tasty as it was spicy .Excellent wee pitstop on the A9 with seating outside when the weather gets better

Cafe does delicious crêpes, both savoury and sweet. I had salmon, egg and tomato and husband had ham and cheese. We shared the apple and cinnamon sweet crêpe. Staff were very friendly. Café is also dog friendly inside although we sat outside.

Ein schönes kleines Café im Gebäude des Timespan-Museums gleich am alten Hafen von Helmsdale. Sehr netter Service, sehr leckere Scones und kräftiger, liebevoll zubereiteter Kaffee. Auch die anderen kleinen Gerichte, von der Tagessuppe über verschiedene Crepes, ... sahen fein aus. Die kleine Terrasse am Fluss ist durch eine niedrige Glaswand vor Wind geschützt und so sitzt man sehr angenehm. Auch drinnen sind genügend Plätze, falls man bei einem Regenguss fliehen muss... Eine echte Empfehlung.
