Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Welcoming place and staff, we ate cullen skink (typical fish soup) and broccoli and blue cheese soup of the day. To finish scones with ginger and rhubarb jam. Everything delicious. Advised

Great to find a cafe where dogs are welcome indoors. Thoroughly enjoyed both visits here. The scones were good sized, crusty on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The addition of the choice of jams of the jam menu was great. It’s nice to have the option of some variety with your scone. I would have awarded 5 stars if not for the following reasons. The coffee sizes were a bit random due to the varying cups used. On our first visit my large latte was definitely served in a reasonably large mug but on our second visit there was not much to distinguish between my husband’s small americano and my large latte as the mug sizes were very similar in shape and size. I was also perplexed by the pricing of the butter and jam with the scones; butter or jam was included but if you wanted both it was an extra 65p? All said, we would definitely return when we are next in the area.

The only place I have ever been that offers a jam menu, so you can pick exactly the right scone/ jam combination. And the scones are a definite must. A range of delicious soups is on offer, with plenty of veggie/ vegan options. All served with a choice of soda bread, scone etc. Love the quirky salt and pepper sets and the mismatched bone china used to serve scrumptious homemade food. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful. Ideally situated between town and harbour, so easy to find. Look out for the scone of the day. Favourite so far is rhubarb and ginger. Oh my.

What can I say it was wonderful, from the beautiful sandwiches to the sausage rolls, Quiches, roast Chicken platter and very fine cake selection - every single thing home made (the sausage rolls were still hot when we got them). Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Cool Gourmet

Visited for lunch with my mother and daughter. We had a selection of meals and beverages which were all nice. My mum liked how her tea was presented in a china cup and ornate tea pot. Friendly service and reasonably priced.

Waitresses we're super friendly and efficient. Nice pair of armchairs just inside the door tucked away, which just suited us. Both had homemade soups (Pepper and chilli was one) with soda bread, delicious.

We’ve been to the Cool Gourmet a few times so thought it was time to write a review. Love the various soup / sandwich combinations and the wide choice of vegetarian/vegan soups. Soups are obviously made in house, taste great and generously portioned. Best egg sandwich I’ve ever had. Cakes are fabulous and again in generous portions. Prices are competitive for nowadays and we’re happy to pay for quality. Nice ambience, friendly and attentive staff and dog friendly.

This was our second visit to this wonderful cafe. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the tables are well spaced out, and the menu is excellent. On this visit we had one bacon roll and two fruit scones: everything was delicious, and I love the jam menu - no horrid little plastic packs of cheap jam here. Everything (including the jams) is home made. There is a selection of fabulous-looking cakes, a daily menu of soups, and lots more. This is a dog friendly cafe. We don’t have one but we enjoyed seeing all of the very well behaved canines who sat hopefully under their owners’ tables. Highly recommended.

Great place, not what you might expect from its location or the outside. Very welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Choice of 8 great soups, made in the cafe - most of them gluten free. Try the Cullen skink (our near teenager had a double serving!) and the mushroom - both fantastic. 3 cheese macaroni cheese also delicious. Good selection of freshly made sandwiches (gluten free if wanted). Great selection of lovely ‘home made’ cakes, usually one gluten free. Very nice coffee too. Dog friendly and welcoming, with water bowls and treats. Overall, a hidden gem.

I ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for 8 which was absolutely delicious, great selection, all homemade, cakes to die for. Excellent value for money. Also ate breakfast here which was equally good. Wish I lived nearer!

Home cooked food and scones to die for. Very good service, well spaced tables and lovely decor. Nothing too much trouble to staff and food home-cooked by the owner. Prices - very reasonable - on the High Street so easily accesible

Popped in here after a walk to the castle and it was perfect. Lovely surroundings, very clean. Great food. Sandwiches had loads of filling and cakes were totally delicious. Staff were ace too. Definitely recommend.

Have been for lunch a couple of times and food is always lovely, fresh and hits the spot. Have been during the week and also at the weekend but would say service is noticeably better during the week when it's not all young staff. Not rude or bad mannered but just not interested or attentive at all. Had a much better experience when the staff were warmer , welcoming and observant.

What a find! It was a bank holiday in Scotland, and every place was booked solid, and my family was getting hangry. Thankfully, we found this wonderful place w/ the BEST scones and cakes, and a huge selection of hot soups to warm us up on a chilly day. It was one of the best meals we had while in Scotland. AND, when my son left his not inexpensive watch there, they called US to tell us they had it, and have been unbelievably cooperative about shipping it to us in the States. Wonderful people, wonderful food!

I'll be honest, when I looked at the menu I wasn't particularly excited, but my wife and I were looking for somewhere to hide from the rain. However my soup (French Onion) was delicious. They had a wide range of soup options, my wife had a different (cauliflower & blue cheese) and she loved hers too. The staff were also super friendly. I would say my latte wasn't the best but it was with oat milk which can be tricky, my wife is very fussy with her coffee and thought her cappuccino was quite nice.
