Caffe Cardosi - Highland

A staff member simply gestured toward a table for me to sit at. I waited approximately 10 minutes for my order to be taken. The food was acceptable, but nothing remarkable. After finishing my meal, I sat for 20 minutes with an empty plate in front of me. I had intended on ordering a dessert and hot drink, but I grew frustrated waiting and decided to pay at the register instead. No one checked in to see if everything was satisfactory. I have no desire to return to this establishment.

Had coffee and scones. As always the fruit scone was lovely, the Cheese and caramelised onion scone was really really tasty. They were very busy but we waited hardly any time at all . Well done to All the staff on such a warm and muggy day.

Couldn’t decide wether to post this but feel it needs to be said as it’s happened on more than one occasion. Went in with the family and one of my sons first time ordered a hot chocolate with marshmallow with cream, got a hot chocolate with nothing on it and tasted weak and more just like warm milk, not the biggest drama in the world but was still disappointing for my son who’s autistic and likes the same drink everytime and granted Cardosi’s normally make it perfectly! Another time we went in and again my son ordered a hot chocolate with all the works and got given a mocha. I didn’t catch the name of the person who made the drinks but it was the same person both times. I understand it’s easy for drinks to be forgotten or mixed up as it was incredibly busy both days I was in but still just frustrating. The woman who made the drinks was polite when serving us and dressed really nicely compared to the others, but just something to be noted for future! Other than those little mishaps the food was good and all the staff were great!

Visit Cafe Cardosi regularly and have never been disappointed. ALL the staff are friendly and helpful ,even when busy . Coffee and cake fresh and tasty as always.

We were thrilled to find coffee with syrup at this restaurant after traveling the NC500. Many of the remote coffee shops we visited did not offer syrup, but this one did. The coffee was excellent, not too hot and delicious. We also enjoyed a cheese scone with jam, which was amazing.
