We found out about the opportunity to have poffertjes and Dutch pancakes in Castle Douglas before we went on a weekend break to the area. Oh yeah!! Between us we had savoury and sweet pancakes and poffertjes for lunch; all delicious! I had the shoarma pancake which was very nice, but I can recommend the chicken satay (or saté) which I also tried and which was amázing! The poffertjes were also great and exactly like you would get them in NL. Wish I could pop in more often but it's a 5 hour round trip...

Came here for a light lunch on a busy Saturday and the three of us shared a large table with another couple of women. Having browsed in the excellent shop, the three of us were ready to eat. I had the large Pea and Ham soup with Loch Arthur bread. It was delicious and filling. Friends chose the ricotta and spinach pie and the other the open topped beef sandwich. Both came with generous salads. We followed with hot chocolate ( me as always), latte and Earl grey tea. Lovely service, great specials board and good menu. All on the level, ample parking, good toilets. Well worth the drive out!

This is a family run business that knows how to look after its customers. We were attracted to this café as it offered a variety of choice of something warming to eat on a coolish June day. Its menu is quite extensive and includes soups, jacket potatoes and burgers as well as sandwiches in various forms. Indeed, their speciality sandwiches offer twelve different fillings in a choice of 6 different breads with 4 different spreads and a coice of 4 out of 9 salad toppings. Or, over 870,000 different varieties! Our choices were hot bacon sandwich (Granary, low fat spread, etc), Jacket potato with cheese and garlic mushrooms and a soup and sandwich combination. All were quickly prepared and served to the correct customer without the waitress having to enquire as to who was having which dish; customer service indeed. Our meals were delicious and plentiful and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The icing on the cake (so to speak) was that two of us were able to find a paperback each among the small collection of second hand books kept at the café for customers to take away for a small donation to charity. We intend to patronise this café again.

On holiday with our two dogs and mum itâs sometimes hard to find a cafe with a garden but this cafe is garden perfection with a lovey wooden gazebo covered in climbing flowers, a beautiful place to stop for a coffee and homemade cake or like us , lunch! The garden area is down a little alley way which you could easily miss as itâs not clearly signed. But the front of the cafe leads you down into a conservatory and out into the beautiful garden if you miss the alley. Waitress service but you order and pay inside first if you want to eat alfresco. Child and dog friendly. Gluten free on offer and soya milk alternative too. Weâre visited twice this week already, and are visiting again today for lunch. Why? Because the food is tasty, homemade and delicious! Simple as that! Good value price wise too, making this cafe, the best in Castle Douglas in our opinion. Coffee is great, my mum even loved her Earl Grey tea, she usually moans itâs too weak! There are sandwiches with locally made bread, toasties and paninis, homemade quiches and soups plus lots of specials and homemade cakes to choose from. My sandwich came with a beautiful dressed salad, delicious. My mum ordered a cheese toastie which came with homemade chutney and the salad. She ate every scrap and enthused all the way through it! My hubby ordered the BLT and he too pronounced it to be lovely. I canât recommend more highly. Try it yourself to find out what a gem of a place it is. In the garden on a sunny day, you feel as though you could be anywhere in the world, plenty of parasols to keep you shady if the sun is too hot. Wonderful place.

Fantastic small business found next to the 7stanes forest mountain bike track. As a keen cyclist in the area for many years finally we are catered for. Excellent atmosphere , large portions and just good simple food all at very reasonable prices. Home baking is a must!!!

4 of us went in for lunch. Two of us had the haggis and cheese panini. Not an obvious filling for a panini but absolutely delicious. The other two had soup which was equally good. The service was friendly and the menu varied. Donât be fooled by its ranking, it has not been open long. I am sure it wonât be long before it occupies the number one slot.

As an outsider to the area, what is easy to see on trip advisor within rural places to visit is that they have somewehat a monopoly within an area. If your the only cafe within a 1 mile radius, then people seem to inflate a rating. We stopped here for some light dinner, the place is nice, the chickens running free is a nice touch (especially for the kids) and its dog / bike friendly, so popular with local adventure tourists. The food is simple cafe food, all day breakfasts, sandwiches, cakes ect, but very run of the mill and nothing exotic. Service was good but the again with the rural location, you notice the prices are high considering what your buying. We had a breakfast and two other small meals and its £30, which is a considerable cost. Comments from people about 'Best breakfast ever' and 'Best food I have had for ages' i would say you need to get out more if that is the case. Good service and very friendly staff which is great, but the food is average.

Found this place on back of a search for late breakfast when down for weekend to Dumfries. The breakfast menu is a little limited, however does offer some healthy options. Personally we had the Granola (very nice), bacon buttie with poached egg (too much fat on bacon), flat white coffee (so so). The lunch and dinner menu looked more comprehensive. Reasonable price for all. Staff pleasant. View of river etc is very nice and quaint.
