Highlander Cafe in Crystal River

This cafe is good. Great place for lunch and meet up with friends.

Great homemade everything for lunch! Soups & quiches & sandwiches. Lovely side salads served with. Nice coffees & sweets.could work on the decor but the folks that work there are wonderful. Nice place!

Nice healthy breakfast and A+ lattes.

Excellent breakfast and great cappuccino

Excellent spinach quiche! Hot chocolate was a hit!

Great food. Great prices. Great staff.

Very small n quaint.... Very good food. Excellent for breakfast and lunch.

I went there 3 times, 3 days in a row. The first day I barely made it in (closing time); the lady was kind enough to allow me to order to go, kind of pricey, but I loved the cheesecake and her kindness (I think it was the owner). The next day I ordered 3 croissants, 2 cappuccinos, and a piece of cheesecake from a nice young man; pretty penny (almost $30). On the 3rd day I went in to reorder the croissants and more, but because it was 2 minutes passed their breakfast time, the tattooed young lady would not take the order unless I order from the lunch menu (double the price) for a different content croissant (did not make sense). I thought I had discovered my new favorite cafe, but I was soon let down by the unreasonable breakfast time rule and lack of flexibility. You have permanently lost a new customer. I recommend that you do away with time limitations and serve your customers everything that you have in your menu anytime you're open for business.

When we want a fresh, clean lunch, the Highlander is who we call! Locally owned by a charming Scottish family this is one of the most popular lunch spots in the downtown Heritage village. Our suggestions? The turkey and cranberry on ciabatta, their delicious salads and don’t miss her homemade hummingbird cake. YUM!

Nice lunch spot! Delicious food! I especially loved the Caramel Shortbread as dessert.

Excellent, the service is warm and friendly. The food is top notch. Natalie is such a lovely person and the staff(Haleigh) is so onto of things. Clean and neat.

The scone was fantastic. Coffee was great. Highly recommend. Definitey will return!

I met a friend here for lunch and we both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I had the bacon brie sandwich on ciabatta bread and salad along with the cauliflower soup. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be having more lunch dates here.

Great food. Excellent scones and fresh fruit. Sandwiches are the best. A local Crystal River favorite ! Wait staff are friendly and efficient !

I wanted to thank your employee for so incredibly rude on Saturday, 1/19/19, that I walked out and went next door to the Tea House where my group had an amazing lunch. We may have missed out on an incredible meal had you not been out of almost everything and your staff been overwhelmingly rude. You get the star because your bathroom was nice and cool.

always great sandwiches and deserts cappuccinos are to die for. i go here almost weekly!

Cute little breakfast place with a simple selection and reasonable prices. Our waiter was very friendly.

Best lunch and best coffee a miracle to find rich flavorful coffee and best lunch in same place - Highlander has got it all... Oh yes and killer deserts!!!

I enjoy eating here. This a very special street in Crystal River. And I'm proud to support independent businesses. Better atmosphere and better food than the chains. Only wish their hours of operations were past 3PM.

Not really a breakfast spot- great coffee! Loved the restaurant- but they have basically breakfast sandwiches. No home fries, no omelettes. The music was nice- the coffee was very good.

Sandwiches are delicious! The scone desert is very unique and worth a visit to try. One of the better establishments when comparing price to quality. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Such a delight! Fast and friendly! Handled our specific request well. Left with a smile and caffeine.

Clean and relaxing atmosphere. Helpful staff. The latte and turkey melt were delicious.

Stopped by for late lunch, and I'm so glad I did. Located across from the gift/artisan shops in the "tourist district". The menu is simple yet divine. Ordered spinach quiche & it was utterly delicious! Outdoor dining on the front porch was a plus. Staff here is super friendly & top notch. Inside is clean & cozy.

Nice variety on the lunch menu. I thoroughly enjoyed the Honey Salmon Salad with creamy House dressing - exquisite! Dear Husband enjoyed roast beef sandwich with mild horseradish spread & melted cheddar on ciabatta roll. Definitely recommend.

Love the atmosphere.. Staff great food is delicious 😋

Wonderful food and they care about there diners.

Great coffee! Only thing we purchased staff is very pleasant

The atmosphere is clean, invigorating and relaxing. The food was excellent. First time here and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Amazingly good foodI had the coroner chicken sandwich . It was like a curried chicken salad amazingWife got the lox and bagels and our friend got the BLT which was wonderfulWhen I go back will definitely get that BLT Soup was a broccoli cheese that was okay but everything else was amazing

Tasty soup...quiche...sandwiches.Friendly local place for nice brunch or lunch. A flight of steps to climb up to the front porch for outside eating and the main door to inside seating. Located in cute area of gift and antique shops on main road...Citrus Avenue.Parking is often difficult to find.

Highlander Cafe is now Cattle Dog Coffee Roasters! Awesome!

Good food and really friendly atmosphere

I had wanted to try this cafe for a while and am sorry I waited so long. Had a very delicious reasonably priced lunch with excellent service. I will be back and recommend it to anyone looking for well made imaginative food.

Went to get some lunch and dinner to goes. My cauliflower soup, spinach and feta quiche and the salad with the owners delicious honey mustard dressing was scrumptious. My cappuccino rounded out a fabulous lunch. Thanks Natalee and the gang. Hugs.

Did lunch since it was after 11 and too late for their breakfast (which I heard is better than their lunch). Sandwiches were okay. Scones were okay. Service was okay. Not really much to pick from the menu which is confusing how they have it categorized (especially for such a tiny menu). Can't recommend taking a whole family here, maybe one or two people.

Stopped in for lunch while traveling through Crystal River. This was our second visit. Quaint little place just off US-98. Sandwiches are fairly simple, but tasty; side salads have fruit (oranges, grapes) which is a nice change from standard. Outdoor patio is dog friendly.

Very nice young male server. Onion soup was very good. Actually, everything was good.

Food was very good but small portions.

Great spot for a bite to eat or coffee and dessert. The BLT is the best I have ever had! I always get the side salad with their homemade honey mustard dressing..i wish they would bottle it up and sell it. :)

Quaint little eatery. Nice front porch. Selection of soups, sandwiches, and salads. Nice attentive staff.

Who doesn't like this Cafe. Great staff, great food, excellent deserts. Can't go wrong. Best place for a flavourful lunch with great atmosphere.

Such nice employees and I love how easy it was for them to customize my food and they were happy to do it. Food was delicious and their coffee is amazing.

Food and service is great! I am vegan and they don't have any menu items that are vegan. However they were really accommodating and patient. They had a Garlic Mushroom soup of the day...vegan friendly and delish! Also use soy milk as a dairy milk substitute. My husband got the bacon and brie sandwich and he loved it. Great spot in a cute part of town.

Cute little restaurant. The food and service are very good.

Such a cute little area we just happened to stumble upon! The staff were very kinda, prompt, and helpful with all of our questions. I got the kona mocha and the ham, egg and cheese sandwich; both were delicious! Highly recommend them; they were so fresh! It's definitely a must stop!

Good food, great service, beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy lunch.

Always great food. Relaxing atmosphere 💖

Very friendly server. Great cappuccino, fresh salad, and fantastic BLT. I enjoyed the decor and vibe.

This cafe is one of my very favorites, I’ll go by myself sometimes just to have their food. The flavours are wonderful and the staff is always amazing. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone that asked.
