What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mackenzie's Coffee House is generally praised for its delicious homemade bakes, hearty breakfasts, and friendly service, creating a cozy atmosphere. However, some visitors have noted that the small space can feel cramped, and there have been isolated incidents of poor service and billing disputes.
"I stopped in for a light lunch. I had a ham and cheese toastie which came with a nice side salad, a cream horn and a white coffee.
Good selection of sandwiches, drinks and sweats. Small and cozy atmosphere, though could be a little cramped if busy."
Gavin Work
"The most unpleasant service in Scotland so far, they seem to wait tourists to treat them like sheeps. They didn’t want to give us cups to drink a coke for our order, when i have insisted they gave us just 1, as a courtesy i guess.
Yelling numbers in the middle of a small room, but we were only clients that had ordered food in that moment.
They simply enjoy the passage of tourists to make money.
Food was good, especially shortbread."
Alessandro Rota
"A great wee find on the road back to the bnb when we both needed a caffeine pick me up, friendly service and a lot of choice so i had a fab caramel flat white with a toasted tuna melt and the gf had a chai latte and a millionaire shortbread , well recommended for really good coffee and lite bites and great service"
