Situated on the east coast of the Island of Unst, Shetland’s northernmost island, the Café provides a relaxing and comfortable venue for locals and visitors alike. Its trade benefits from being located next to the Unst Boat Haven, a noted tourist attraction. The Café serves light healthy lunches and à la carte evening meals (by arrangement) using local produce. It also provides morning coffee and afternoon teas. The well lit Art Gallery displays works from artists both local and from outwith Shetland. The works include paintings, glass ware, pottery and jewellery.
