Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a lovely afternoon browsing round the antique centre and stopped in at the cafe for lunch. We ordered the seafood platter which was very generous and we happily shared it between the two of us. Coffee was also very nice and the service...prompt and welcoming. ThanksMore

Great food and service as usual. One of our favourite places to visit for lunch. Friendly staff and great soup and sandwiches plus a browse round the ever changing bargain hunt opportunities.

Great choice and variety, with specials and options for children. Everything we had was delicious and the service we received was friendly, professional and fast being it was so busy. The atmosphere on this occasion with it being the run up to Christmas was very...festive. We really enjoyed our visit.More

We have bee to both Cafe Circa in Abernyte and Doune a few times over the last 2 years. Both cafes have usually deliver very good customer service. Out trip to Abernyte on the 8th was a little disappointing, the server a man took the...order and read back us. On arrival mine was something that I had not ordered and my partners apparently had not been ordered at all. They sorted out quickly.. did not feel the same experience as previously had. Soups were nice an so was the scone.More

After visiting the antiques centre, we decided to have lunch at Cafe Circa, and we were so glad we did. The food was all freshly prepared and delicious. We also had first class service from the friendly and helpful staff, and look forward to our...next visit.More

Spent a morning at the Scottish Antique and Arts Centre in Abernyte browsing an impressive and eclectic range of antiques, including the amazing jewellery, gorgeous homeware, furniture and fashion items, powered by a delicious strong coffee from the cafe and a homebaked scone fresh from...the oven!! The retail therapy was followed by a very welcome and high quality, nourishing soup and sandwich served by extremely warm and welcoming staff members. Didn't want to leave and already planning my next trip. What a treat!More

Dropped in for a browse and took the opportunity to have breakfast. What makes it for me first and foremost is a really good cup of coffee. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Americano was run on the mill and sent it back. Poached egg on muffin:...plate cold, muffin barely toasted and the food wasn’t that warm. Very disappointing. Can’t be difficult to get this right. Otherwise nice place to visit and chill.More

Located within the Scottish Antique and Arts Centre the Cafe delivers great food at a reasonable price. The ambience is good and the service is excellent. Highly recommended.

A mate and I stopped for coffee and a cake after looking at antiques. I had a Flat White and a slice of Lemon Drizzle Cake. Staff were friendly and the seating was comfortable. Only thing that prevented this being 5/5 was that it was...a bit loud and things were on the expensive side. Otherwise a lovely experience.More
