This lovely, family-owned bakery keeps winning Scottish Baker of the Year - and I can totally see why!! I can honestly say we had the best pies in all of Scotland here - and that Snowball pastry was just on a whole other level of deliciousness!!
We were making a brief lunch stop to visit Beauly Priory when we stumbled upon this hidden gem. And to our surprise we found our local tour guide inside ordering so we knew we came to the right place haha!
The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming and made some excellent suggestions of their favorites. We tried the mash & mince pie (mashed potatoes with savory ground beef/gravy inside), the curry pie (with chicken), and the Snowball for dessert.
The pies were a perfect way to warm up on the cold day and they were absolutely phenomenal. Packed full of flavor and just the right texture and size. A most excellent lunch! And that Snowball is now my new favorite dessert - I've never found anything like it here at home. It consists of two velvety soft pieces of vanilla-ish cake with raspberry jam and cream in the middle and rolled in coconut - oommggg it was just amazing!
Everything was so delicious that we grabbed a regular donut and a mocha too on our way out - for the road - but we ate the donut before we even made it back to the bus it was so good haha!
They didn't have anywhere to sit inside except the window sill - but it's plenty large enough and lucky for us the shop was empty. It's a small shop but very cozy and the staff are just awesome. It's a great location too - right next to the priory. There's a large parking lot but it was packed full - seemed to be a popular little spot.
They've been winning so many awards and I can truly see why - their food is just wonderful! Very well deserved and I highly recommend! read more
