Full description

Cairngorm Coffee is a modern, white-walled coffee shop that reviewers say bridges a trendy cafe and a neighbourhood hangout, casual enough to feel like a second living room. It serves specialty coffee, sweets such as cinnamon buns and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Reviews

We spent a while in the café. There weren’t many seats available and it was quite noisy, on top of the music. It’s very pretty and light, and there’s a nice selection of drinks. The pastries are very good too. £18 for three drinks and an almond croissant is quite reasonable.
