    OMG!!! These cakes are to die for. I was lucky to be treated to the lemon meringue pie and apple pie. I have never tasted meringue pie like it. They both were delicious. Would highly recommend❤️

  • Delicious

    I called in on my way back home, with an 8 hour journey ahead I needed a little something sweet and a drink to get me through. Wow what a delicious selection. A gorgeous herb studded cheese scone and pistachio/raspberry financier were chosen along with the much needed drink. Thank you it was all delicious and a week on I can still recall the taste. Ballachulish you are very lucky to have such an amazing patisserie with lovely owners on your doorstep.
