Welcome to All The Goodness Coffee & Bakeshop

“ Excellent coffee shop in Dornie. Their home made cakes are delicious eat in or take out. If you're in the area, is a must visit. Take some cakes back home with you. ”

“ Everything about this spot, from the decor, to the food quality, to the enchanting paintings on the walls, to the view of Eilean Donan castle gives “All the Goodness” vibes. The sticky buns are to die for and their turmeric late is *chef kiss* PS: You can also order the paintings online!!! Thank you Lorraine and Mike for bringing this amazing spot to life. ”

“ Stopped here on our way to Isle of Skye. Wonderful sweets (get the sticky bun) and great coffee. Service was excellent. No bathroom, but they will point you in the direction next door with nice clean toilets. They do not take credit cards, but we expected to come across this at several stops on our trip through Scotland and always had cash on hand. ”

“ Absolutely an amazing hidden Gem. Most definitely one of most delicious macaroons I've ever tasted and the sticky cherry and black choc buns were superb. Views are spectacular.... Staff are super friendly too... Thank you ”

“ We visited the All the Goodness Bakeshop for a short stopover after having been to the Eilean Donan Castle. Very friendly owners and cosy atmosphere for a cup of tea and one of their famous sticky buns. Really, really nice and pleasant people, once again - I almost feel sorry not to chime in into the other reviewers’ shared public seizure of excitement over OMG cinnamon buns with sugar glaze. Without being picky, the buns are nice, but no revelation. They are the type of yeast buns everyone of us has had in the one or the other variation produced by never-baked-before guys for 8-yr old’s birthday parties. The glazing is not fondant or anything sophisticated, just sticky sugar-slime. For me the fact that you can create collective ecstasy with trivial bakeware like this rather describes the degree of knowledge-deterioration about baking in general and about different types of dew with their specific challenges among the younger generations. For example, self-made puff-pastry as a base for cinnamon buns would have been technically much more of a challenge and quite an eye-catcher for somebody without professional training as a baker or patissier … and would have given the buns a much more refined, lighter and crispier texture. For me the real genius of this shop lies in the money-making, or let‘s call it conceptional purity ;-) The owners must correctly have realized, that a cosy, comfy cafe is obviously missing around the highly attractive castle nearby, and the absence of any competitors around gives them the freedom to dictate the prices and maximize profit with at best mediocre products. And, boy, have they learnt their lesson! The buns cost 4 £, making sticky buns at Harrod‘s Food Halls in Knightsbridge, London, a bargain in comparison (elaborate braiding, fondant glaze - 3,50 £, see photo). Pudding bar 3,50 £. Espresso/Dark Chocolate/Salted Caramel Cake, looking like the soggy, messy nightmare you kindly decline when a coworker brings a tray into the office, 3,80 £. I must, however, acknowledge the effort to maximize salt consumption, keeping up the excess of 130% daily salt intake above international recommendations in Scotland. Once there are more than five customers present, you have to calculate with 20-30 minutes before you are at the front of the queue because even simple coffee takes 5-10 minutes in preparation. Why? Don’t know, there is no magic move visible that would explain this slow pace. So here is my humble suggestion: Bring it on, guys, show that the laws of supply and demand work and RAISE your prices. Sticky buns could earn 6,50 £, pudding cakes 6 £, coffee 4,50 £ - who could stop you? Don‘t worry about your patent absence of talent as bakers, nowadays people cannot tell the difference! ”

“ Absolutely loved this place. Besides the best coffee and tea in the whole West Scotland they have one of the best selection of cakes, cookies and pastries, all freshly made. Amazing! We stopped at this place each time we passed. Very friendly people and they also have the best view of Eilean Donan castle. You must visit this place on your way to the isle of Skye. ”

“ Unbelievable, is only open 3 days a week but we still visited 4 times during our week in Dornie. Everything they sell is off the scale. Will def be back when next in the area. Update - luckily had family passing by Dornie so had to 'instruct' them to drop in and get us some supplies. As before, everything was perfection. I implore you to visit if in the area. Second Update! - we visited a few times last year when we stayed close by. However, this year we found ourselves staying just outside Drumnadrochit. But, we still only wanted to go to one place for breakfast, regardless of the distance to travel. I said it before, the amazing food is off the scale. Mark and Lorraine have created perfection, all I can say is thank you. See you next time. Third update! - No other words needed in addition to what I have said before but will repeat my thanks to both of you for the wonderful creations you make. Long may you continue to enjoy feeding the lucky people who come visit you. ”

“ BEST sticky buns/cinnamon buns EVER!!! We popped into All The Goodness on the way home from a trip up in the Highlands and oh my goodness.... The pastries were amazing. We got there for it opening at 9am and they were hot out the oven. The cinnamon buns were AMAZING and we also had their Lemon & blackcurrant sticky bun which was DELICIOUS... we could have gone back for 2nds and 3rds!! We also had an oat milk mocha and an iced coffee with their own HOMEMADE vanilla syrup which was absolutely amazing The husband and wife team who run it are absolutely lovely and so friendly, opened up the shop super prompt. There's no tables to sit in at but that's cause it's a takeaway bakery, but there is a lovely wee selection of gift items for sale too. We will definitely be stopping by again the next time we are up this way. It may have been raining outside but our tummies were full of sunshine and yummy food when left! ”
