Came across this today by accident and what a coffee, great service as well. Recommend if in the area

  When we discovered our regular cafe stop in Cromarty was closed we were very disappointed, but the warm welcome, excellent coffee and DIY toast were very welcome. And what a... read more great location - watching the ferry coming in and out, and the wildlife passing by. This is as far from a Starbucks or Costa as you can get - the outside seating (there isn't much space inside) is made from old plastic crates with planks attached, and the tables are old cable drums!

  Lovely place to stop for a quick drink and slice of toast waiting for the ferry. Friendly welcome and great buzz to the place. Recommended.

  This is a very likeable, small and cosy cafe with friendly service. We went twice over a long weekend and it was busy both times. Excellent coffee.

  Quirky, excellent location, wonderful staff and terrific coffee. A must visit before or after you explore the beaches.

  A lovely quirky little coffee stop by the ferry. So friendly in fact all the people from several places in the world and the locals agreed to a selfie. Good... read more coffee too.

  We we’re staying at Fortrose bay and did a family bike ride to Cromarty. Luckily the wife went ahead on the bus to scout out one of the best coffee... read more shops we came across in Scotland

A very warm welcome from Staff and locals.

Well done team from the crazy family and Ziggy

  About the best coffee in Scotland. Good venue. The Vegemite toast was bliss. Cakes good too.Friendly staff.

  First time for me as my normal haunts for coffee and cake - Royal Hotel and Sutor Creek were both shut.

I had checked online first and established that... read more this would be an option.

There was a small bike rack but i preferred to lean mine against the wall in case the paint got scraped. Front has lots of outside seating, some slabs and gravel - which my carbon soles didnt like too much.

Seating area inside is very small and dominated by stove which made it nice and cosy after a freezing cycle.

Friendly staff, various coffee options and a small selection of cakes / tray bakes.

I went for a large cappucinno (£3) and muffin. Both were very tasty but i did check it was a large when i saw the cup size.

There is a single spacious toilet located at the end of the serving area. In fact it felt like an Alice in Wonderland moment - leaving the tight seating area - expecting an equally small toilet - and being surprised to find something far more cavernous. An illusion of space!

Everything was clean and well maintained.

I will try the Slaughterhouse again!

  Great coffee and service. Really cool. Right at the harbour. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.
