Wonderful as ever - staff are friendly, food/drink is brilliant and the garden shop had plenty of choice for bulbs etc .

We visited yesterday Sunday 13 November and we just loved the Christmas displays. Very well done. So many new items to buy, so happy with purchase. We then we to Decora in Elgin so the same items more expensive. Staff friendly. We will go back and I have told people at work how good it is.

We spent a Saturday afternoon here catching up with friends. It was really busy when we turned up (to me that's a good sign) but they still had 2 of their yummy blueberry & white chocolate scones 4 Louise & me. Definitely will b back again �

We had a great time at Breakfast with Santa today. Great value for money. Santa and his helpers were great as were the brave live singers. Food and activities were great for the kids. We'll be booking again fofor next year. You all should be proud

Took two toddlers to the Christmas event...fantastic value for money...well done to all the staff so friendly and helpful. Santa was excellent with all the kids. Well done to all even if you were all frozen.... Keep up the great work...

The cafe has a brilliant selection of scones, tray bakes, soups with a decent chunk of bread, sandwiches, and cooked meals, and drinks. The shop has a wide range of gifts at all prices (have brought many gifts that I love and end up keeping had to revisit �). The garden centre is brilliant, first class there’s always friendly staff to advise and help you find what your looking for. In all a first class place to visit, friendly staff more like old friends and at Christmas the place is magical

OMG! This is my first visit to the cafe, I found out from friends that they have started selling vegan cakes, so went in and bought vegan walnut and carrot cake and vegan cheese scones to take away and they were amazing! Will definitely get them again!

Just had a lovely lunch here, well worth a visit

I would just like to thank Michelle and all the other fine members of staff for making myself and I'm sure other crafters would agree most welcome.



I attended Mackenzie & Cruickshank Winter Market as as a seller. I loved it, meet some lovely people and crafters.



Will definitely be here again (if asked!).



Thanks again

I visited with a group of friends on Thursday. We arrived at 11 am, stayed for lunch and then had cake and coffee.

All the food we ordered was fresh and good quality, the only downside for me was the selection of gluten free was limited.

The Christmas Shop was fabulous with a huge array of products, from gifts to decorations and everything in between. Well worth a visit x

I love this place for food and shopping. Soup is fab with proper chunks of bread. Home bakes are amazing and scones too

I enjoy going out for coffee with my mum and gran but if I am wanting something to eat usually I’m left with a slice of toast and jam. It’s so nice to see a selection of vegan cakes and scones!! Of course had to test them all over the last couple weeks and they all come highly recommended. Well done Mackenzie and Cruickshank

I absolutely love your shop have been coming for years . Great products and really lovely and kind staff . Came to the christmas opening last night , wonderful as usual x

Great variety for most people but as I’m someone who is dairy free my choices are slightly restricted but any request for change is met with compliance. So well done. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Good selection of home made dishes and friendly staff. It’s very popular so can get busy.

Fantastic place, good products which plant well, great variety and good food too. Good for a day out- some shopping and a bite to eat too.

Came yesterday with a friend for the first time and it won't be the last! Lovely shop with a good selection of products and the staff are really helpful! Watched a member of staff helping an elderly man and he couldn't of been any more patient or kinder, well done x

Always lovely meal and friendly staff.x

And a huge thanku to the staff and gentleman who helped us today with my granny who took unwell.she seams fine now but we are very grateful to u all.x

Always had lovely food here. Can't decide if I prefer Breakfast or Lunch as regularly go for both. Even if we just pop in for a look it usually means a coffee and cake or scone.
