Hand-crafted food from scratch, with love and care
Situated in the picturesque town of Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire, The Highland Patisserie is a family-owned and run cafe that specialises in traditional homemade breakfasts, lunches, and speciality cakes and desserts. We take pride in using only the finest locally sourced ingredients to create our menu, and our commitment to quality and freshness is evident in everything we serve.
Our Coffee House
At Mackenzie's Coffee House, you can relax and enjoy a fine Patisserie cake with a long, smooth coffee. If you're in a hurry, we also offer a range of quick Toasties and Paninis to take away. Our sunshine courtyard is the perfect place to enjoy your food and drinks, and our warm and welcoming interior provides a cosy atmosphere for those who wish to dine in.
Homemade Food
Homemade food is our speciality. We offer breakfasts using meat supplied from our local butcher, lunches prepared from locally sourced ingredients, and a wide selection of homemade cakes and seriously tempting patisserie. All of our food is hand-crafted, and we support and nurture relationships with our local farmers and producers.

Throwing a party can be a stressful time, so let Mackenzie's get you off to a flying start with one of our speciality cakes. We're happy to discuss your personal requirements for ingredients, style, or size. Cakes or desserts can be ordered individually or in larger numbers for bigger events.

Quality of Food and Drink
The quality of food and drink at Mackenzie's is a major concern for several reviewers. Some reviewers, such as Domonique Ramirez, Kurt Walter, Latifa Yousef, and Luca Ventisei, praise the cafe's food and drink options, mentioning that they are delicious and well-prepared. On the other hand, reviewers like Amit Dhumash, Neil Gault, and C. express disappointment with the food and drink, citing reasons such as poor taste, dryness, and unwarmable scones.
Service and Atmosphere
Service seems to be a major strength for Mackenzie's. Reviewers like Domonique Ramirez, Trisha, and Luca Ventisei rave about the friendly and welcoming service. However, critics like Neil Gault and C. report rude and abrupt service, with the former even witnessing an incident where a waitress took a fork away from a customer.
The atmosphere of the cafe is also praised by many reviewers, who describe it as cozy, welcoming, and charming. However, the small size of the cafe can be a drawback, as noted by some reviewers.
Toilet Facilities
Toilet facilities are an area of concern for some reviewers, particularly Neil Gault, who describes them as "disgusting" with "liquid all around the floor at the bowl" and a door that sticks.
