Phoenix Cafe - Forres

Lovely staff and atmosphere, beautiful location and building with polite workers. Wish we had ordered something different as the coffee was great but unfortunately was very disappointed with the vegan hummus and salad wrap. Unsure if this is the usual option as I noticed a poster in the window advertising a chef position. The wrap was very plain, just a whole meal wrap with some grated carrot, a lettuce leaf and a huge amount of very plain tasting and dry homemade hummus. The side salad was more carrot, a small amount of red onion, a few tomato halves, a couple bits of cucumber, a few leaves of gritty lettuce and barely a teaspoon of dressing. Ended up taking away half the meal and added sauce to it ourselves to make it enjoyable. Lovely to have a few vegan options, however this one was disappointingly unimaginative considering the price and the proximity of the cafe to the wonderfully progressive Findhorn community. Would definitely return to this lovely cafe, but would hope to see some improvements or perhaps just stick to the coffee next time :

The menu is excellent—though it's concise, it offers a good variety for lunch. There are plenty of options for vegans, vegetarians, and those on a gluten-free diet. The flexibility of the menu is an added bonus. The customer service is not only friendly but also quick! Most importantly, the setting is beautiful, located in the Shangri-La that is Findhorn.

I don't quite understand the rave reviews for this cafe. Although the drinks were enjoyable, the regular food, such as the Cheese Onion Wrap, was disappointing. It arrived with raw pizza cheese and an excessive amount of onion, rendering it completely inedible.

I can only rave about this place for its nourishing, aesthetically pleasing, and original dishes, all set in a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive, kind, and accommodating. We enjoyed lunch—specifically the soup of the day and a curry—in the cozy garden, all at very reasonable prices. Thank you!

Lovely cake and coffee. A great place to chill.
