A Coffee Shop With a Story

If you are searching for the best coffee shops in Inverness, you are likely looking for somewhere with warmth, a comfortable seat, and a cup made properly. That is exactly what we have offered on Church Street for over twenty years.

Few places can claim a past quite like ours. Our building carries real musical history, serving over the decades as a Northern Meeting ballroom and a cherished record shop. Today, we operate as a vintage cinema-themed cafe. It is unpretentious, comfortable, and the perfect environment to read alone, bring a laptop, or gather with friends.

Our commitment to quality earned us a spot as one of the Top 5 coffee shops in Inverness by The Times. From your first sip, you will understand why locals and visitors keep coming back.

The Drinks & Cake Menu

Whatever your order, our baristas make it properly. We keep our coffee menu broad so there is something for every taste.

Barista Classics

A bold Americano, a smooth Flat White, a comforting Latte, or a frothy Cappuccino. We also pour sharp Espresso, Macchiatos, and Cortados. Dairy and plant-based milks available.

CBD Coffee & Tea

We are one of the few coffee shops offering a CBD range. Enjoy a Broad Spectrum CBD Coffee or try our full-spectrum CBD hemp teas in Chamomile, Peppermint, or Lemon & Ginger.

Hot Chocolates & Mochas

A proper Hot Chocolate or rich Mocha. Feel free to indulge by adding fresh whipped cream, marshmallows, or a chocolate flake to your order.

Iced Coffees & Frappuccinos

When the sun is out, our Iced Lattes and sweet Frappuccinos (complete with syrup and ice cream) hit the spot. We also serve milkshakes and fresh fruit smoothies.

Homemade Cakes & Scones

Great coffee deserves great company. Pair your cup with our daily rotating selection of homemade cakes, traybakes, CBD brownies, and warm fruit scones.

Pair it with Brunch

Settling in for the morning? We serve a legendary all-day breakfast. Order a full cooked plate, a stack of warm Belgian waffles, or a hot bacon roll to go with your coffee.
