Family friendly cafe serving snacks, home bakes and delicious coffee. Free wifi.
Reviewed By Gabriel H
Located near Fort Charlotte, this excellent cafe provides great Java, both fresh brews as well as espresso and espresso-based hot beverages. Comfortable tables and chairs furnish the interior, and there is a corner dedicated to children, with toys and stuffed animals. You order at the counter, pay and are served your food and beverage. The cafe also serves hot waffles, sandwiches, soups, burgers and cold beverages. Prices are modest.

Lucky to have booked in advance for this Saturday night. No shortage of quantity on our plate and the steaks were perfect but the service slowed down as the restaurant filled. The young waiting staff were delightful and highly efficient but the kitchen was obviously struggling to keep on top of things. Nonetheless a pleasant meal.

Busy local restaurant with outstanding sea views of Scalloway and the island of Trondra that specializes in simply prepared local seafood, served in a relaxed and friendy environment.

I visited with a friend for lunch. The menu is not huge, but I would have been happy ordering any item off the menu. I eventually chose the fishcakes (2) which included a crisp salad. Very nice, and priced at just under £10. Well worth a visit!

My wife and I had just arrived in Lerwick and were strolling around for a place to eat. We ended up having lunch at The String. The food was outstanding and we felt that it was reasonably priced. Between us we had a Pork Bao Bun, their soup of the day (potato), Shetland Haddock in beer batter and another special, small langoustine. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly.

Fantastic views, good location for exploring Eshaness and Northmavine. £24 per night for spacious pitch at the front and £18 for a slightly smaller pitch behind. Restaurant opened Thurs to Sunday when we were there the first week in May. Nice, clean facilities.

Visiting the small town of Scalloway, I heard Scottish dance music being played on an accordion by a young girl sitting outside the Cornerstone restaurant. I went in for dinner and had really fresh fish with chips and peas. Comfort food beautifully cooked! And I could still hear the delightful music being played outside. Altogether a good experience.

Popped in here for a quick meal the other evening. I ordered a small smoked haddock and chips, when it arrived I was very glad I had gone small!! Very tasty and freshly cooked. The cafe is only small, but very clean and friendly. The chippy part of the shop was constantly busy, always a good sign.

Thi is a modern and well-located cafe/bar/restaurat in the heart of Lerwick. We stopped here a number of times for coffee and gluten-free cakes in the afternoon. The place gets booked-up quickly in the evenings and though we did not eat here I would recommend reserving a table in advance if you intend to.

We stopped for a break here last week when doing the round Lerwick walk. Really nicely decorated inside with a stunning view out to sea. Staff were very busy but friendly. Coffee good but the cakes are mouthwatering. We had a pancake and a triple chocolate shortbread cake. It was divine the most delicious Iâve ever tasted. We had to go back on our last day in Shetland to get some more. Iâve been googling recipes ever since in the hope of recreating it... no luck yet!Ps the toilets are great also , very clean and modern
