Cafe 115 - Fort William

Stopped in on a day trip to Fort William on a very soggy Bank Holiday weekend. Lovely cafe, very attentive staff. Had a wonderful all day breakfast which was more than worth the money. Busy place, but there was more seating downstairs. I was upstairs with a view to the street. Great little place.

There was an unsmiling greeting, monosyllabic table service. My soup was expensive and there wasn’t much of it and my wife’s sandwich was just dreadful.

We popped into this cafe for a coffee and cake. The staff were nice but unfortunately they don’t know how to make coffee. Worst coffee ever flat white). They seemed to be having trouble with the coffee maker as the steam wand wasn’t making the correct steam noises, and I suspect it wasn’t being cleaned often enough . Never again.

It is a real shame how somewhere as well known as Fort William has a shambolic eatery as this one. I had a piece of charcoal which was sold as an Angus burger, my wife had Mac n cheese that was worse than the bachelors dried packet variety you get from Tesco and my 7 year old couldn’t eat her chicken nuggets and chips. We only ended up here as arrived late on a Saturday night and everywhere else was booked up. It was expensive and I would definitely avoid! We would have been better off going to MacDonalds…

Thought we’d give it a go as a local business. Definitely not good. Food was cheap in quality eg fish and chips where the fish was obviously frozen battered style and the batter really chewy and fish quite dry. Salad definitely seemed old. Trouble with these places is that the footfall refreshes every day and so they never get held to account for the poor quality good job trip advisor is here to highlight these poorly run ‘make a fast buck’ joints.
