About
Welcome to Un Petit Café, a charming seaside gem nestled in the West Beach Car Park at Findhorn Beach, Forres. This delightful café stands out as a must-visit destination for those seeking not just refreshments, but a cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger.
Un Petit Café has garnered acclaim from visitors far and wide. According to local patron Philip Brayshaw, the café is a go-to spot for families and friends alike, boasting “superb coffees, delicious cakes, and friendly service.” The allure of this café lies not only in its flavorful offerings but also in the warm, welcoming vibe that envelops you as soon as you step inside.
The sensational array of coffees and sweet treats is indeed a highlight. Many customers rave about the delectable cakes and pastries. Liz Kelly describes it as "a lovely wee find," emphasizing the café’s knack for not only perfecting drinks but also curating a splendid selection of teas, coffees, and cold beverages. Such offerings make it a delightful retreat, especially on a sunny but breezy day by the beach.
However, as with any culinary experience, expectations can vary. While some relish the café's cozy charm, others, like Gavin Malarky, felt the branding as a French café didn’t entirely align with their expectations, particularly when it came to the authenticity of some classic French pastries. Yet, even amidst this critique, the café is praised for its value and the homemade quality of its treats, highlighted by Raelou Kay’s satisfying experience with a cinnamon swirl and cookie—all for a wonderfully reasonable price.
Un Petit Café transcends the typical beachside café experience, offering an enticing blend of atmosphere, flavor, and community. Whether you're stopping by for a morning latte or an afternoon sweet treat, the ambiance combined with the quality of service makes it a spot worth visiting more than once. So gather your friends or enjoy a moment of solitude; at Un Petit Café, there’s always a reason to return.
“ Wonderful van/trailer with brilliant coffee and a fab selection of pastries/cakes/sweet treats. Brodie is so friendly and welcoming, and even made me a Dirty chai despite not being on her menu Definitely recommend this spot to stop off if you’re in Findhorn or at the beach. ”
“ A lovely wee find on a sunny windy day at Findhorn beach. Amazing cakes and pastries. Great selection of teas, coffees and cold drinks. ”
“ Was disappointed as expecting something a bit more French. It’s branded as a French cafe but not even a decent croissant. Why bother branding it as a French cafe and then disappointing. It is good value but not the best coffee and I’m not a fan of sweet tray bakes so not for me. ”
“ Exceptional coffee and cakes! Friendly service and fantastic location. Highly recommended. ”
