Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

Explorer Café Aviemore is a dog-friendly café tucked upstairs inside the Tiso outdoor store in the heart of Aviemore, where dogs are welcome inside alongside you for coffee or a proper sit-down lunch. It's a handy central stop when you're stocking up on gear or taking a break from the Cairngorms chaos and your dog can settle under the table while you refuel.
The café serves food and drink throughout the day, with opening hours Monday to Thursday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm and Friday to Saturday from 8am to 5pm. It's the sort of place that works equally well for a quick flat white or a longer meal when the weather turns.
Being inside a major outdoor retail store, it's perfectly pitched for visitors passing through Aviemore with dogs in tow. No need to leave anyone in the car or juggle leads outside—just head upstairs and settle in together.
