new kid on the cake block in Aviemore:

they've made a nice job of fitting out the building (old TIC north end beside Harkai's), with shop / bike hire / activity bookings downstairs and nice cafe upstairs, with a big selection of the the usual books and maps to buy, 2 pc's for browsing and a pretty nice menu (deli / cheese boards and such like), open from 8am-10pm. Modest selection of cakes & scones that looked pretty good - I didnt partake but had a nice smoked salmon and cream cheese sarny and a good coffee.
They should do well with shop and cafe in that location with the parking out front, though i was a little surprised to see another mountain shop opening. Good luck to them though, they've apparently taken on 14 new full time staff on the strength of it
