What visitors say
A charming place with attentive staff and delicious cakes and nibbles. It's part museum part café which works really well and this place forms the central hub of the very creative area it sits within. Featured here are knitware and jewellery independent traders.

We stopped here on a tour of Shetland Island for some tea and cakes. The center has a little history section and souvenirs for sale. The cozy cafe had delicious cakes and muffins. Staff are super nice.

Stopped here to get some lunch after visiting St Ninians Isle. Great staff and a great lunch. We had soups and toasties with a bit of cake afterwards. There’s also a small exhibition area and nice little gift shop. There’s also some other local knitwear shops close by so a few things to do in the area. Easy parking with an EV charger also.
