This cafe is a popular spot for tourists arriving by train. Most diners love the Cullen Skink and fish and chips, calling them a real bang for the buck. While the service is generally quick, some visitors find the ordering system a bit chaotic during peak hours. It is a cozy place to warm up on a rainy day.

Best soup I've had in Scotland.

Great spot to wait for the ferry.

Ordering at the bar is a bit annoying.
