Cairngorm Cafe

Cairngorm Cafe sits at the base station of Cairngorm Mountain in Aviemore and dogs are welcome inside with you. It's a proper stop for walkers, families and anyone heading up the mountain or exploring the surrounding trails with their dog in tow.

The cafe serves food and drink in a relaxed indoor setting where your dog can settle at your feet while you refuel. Lead on, close control and the usual cafe manners apply – perfect for a quick bite or a longer break when the weather turns.

It's one of those rare mountain-base cafes that genuinely welcomes dogs through the door, so you won't be leaving anyone tied up outside in the wind. Ideal for pre-walk coffee, post-walk cake or that moment when everyone needs to dry off and regroup.
