"the breakfast was by far the best i‘ve ever had & the staff was so friendly and nice! if i lived in scotland i‘d definitely visit this cafe at least once a week! that being said, me and my boyfriend were definitely fuelled up for our trip through the highlands after such a beautiful breakfast <3"

"What a little gem away from the bustle if Dunkeld? Our second visit here and it was sunny enough to sit outside, which helped. Soup and absolutely huge cheese scones more than sufficed although there's a great range of sandwiches and quiche, plus a lot of cakes. Dietary restrictions appear to be well catered for as well."

"We visited the Oak cafe twice during our long weekend in Dunkeld. I would highly recommend popping in here for either a breakfast or lunch as the menu was fabulous and the food delicious! We had two kids as part of our group and they very much enjoyed their food too. Our visit was made even better with the lovely service from all the staff and the cost relaxed feel of the cafe. I’ll definitely be back when we visit the area again."

"Went in for breakfast, omg the filled rolls were gorgeous. The cappuccino was also really good. Very reasonably priced, very quick service all in all if you are in the area and are hungry, I would highly recommend a visit here. No pictures, my roll and coffee were so good and I was starving."

"We had breakfast there together with my friends. The staff is very friendly and polite. One thing that I was worried about was if the place was dog friendly, and it is, my husky could sit with us inside which was very nice. Highly recommend!"

"The Birnam Oak Café in Perth is one of those rare places that just feels right! The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, kind, and patient. (We came from Tampa, FL) — you can tell they genuinely care about their guests. Everything we’ve tried has been fresh and delicious — from the coffee and desserts to the sandwiches and scones, it’s all amazing. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with friendly chatter and great tunes in the background. It’s family-oriented, dog-friendly, and full of heart. Easily one of our favourite spots to relax and feel at home."

"I was back at Birnam Oak Cafe today. Honesty, they make the best scones on the Planet! Thank you to the whole team for your brilliant service and the atmosphere. You are amazing! I am glad I was there early-ish. Close to lunch time the place was full of visitors and it is easy to know why"

"We loved this cafe! The staff are very welcoming and friendly, especially the owner Marie. We are from the states (Florida) and stopped in for lunch, then came back the next morning for breakfast. Both meals were great, and their sweets we took to go were delicious. The coffee is also perfect, so a quick stop in for that would be worthwhile!"
