“ Myself and my partner went in for brunch and it was such a lovely atmosphere! We were greeted by the owner, Azhar, and felt very welcomed. There were board games across all the tables and Azhar was very accommodating, he was a very friendly person and super inviting! We had finished our food and coffee, which was very good and great value for money, and ended up staying about another hour as we ended up just chatting with Azhar for so long! Super impressed and will certainly be going back :D ”
“ I had a great experience and highly recommend this place! There’s a fantastic variety of board games, perfect for sharing a fun time with friends. The food is also excellent, great for any meal. I especially enjoyed the Scottish breakfast and the croissant beef I had for lunch. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ Had a lovely lunch and excellent coffee here, BUT the thing that made it for me was the amazing service from the moment we walked in. We were welcomed like old friends and our dog Soozie was spoilt with a water bowl, treats and lots of cuddles. In a world where most establishments want you to leave as soon as you are finished, these guys love it when people stay longer and enjoy the chat and the games on every table. A real breath of fresh air, I wish you every success! ”

“ Ember Kafe - A Hidden Gem in Inverness I love working from Ember Kafe in Inverness. It has become my favourite spot in town for many reasons. The place has such a nice feel to it - cosy and warm but also great for getting work done. The seats are comfortable, and the whole place has a friendly vibe that makes you want to stay longer. What makes Ember Kafe special is that it's the first and only “HALAL” cafe in Inverness. Their food is really good - they have tasty halal brunch options like tacos, burritos, omelette with parathas and bruschetta. Everything I've tried has been fresh and delicious. Their drinks are amazing too. The coffee is strong and perfect for work days. I really enjoy their matcha drinks and smoothies, and their "Karak Chai" is wonderful - it keeps me alert when I need to focus on work. When I'm not working, Ember Kafe is also great for hanging out. My friends and I often play board games like Scrabble here. It's a perfect spot for both work and fun. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They make you feel welcome whether you're staying for hours with your laptop or just coming in for a quick bite. If you want good halal food, nice drinks, and a place where you can either work or relax, Ember Kafe is definitely worth visiting in Inverness. #Halal #KarakChai #Desi ”
“ Stumbled across this place looking for some morning Scran. What a place, the owner truly cares about his business. Friendly, welcoming and accommodating. "I want friends not customers" what a moto! The coffee is to die for, a lovely roast, exceptional blend. You've also GOT to try the spicy sauce! ”
“ A great family-run cafe in the heart of Inverness. Vibrant colours, excellent atmosphere and fantastic service. Compliments to the chef for the poached eggs, they had the perfect gooey texture! ”
“ While visiting Inverness, I had the pleasure of enjoying a classic Scottish breakfast at Ember Kafe, and it truly delivered on every front. The plate arrived brimming with all the traditional elements — perfectly fried eggs, baked beans, and a generous serving of turkey souse, each item cooked with care and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming and friendly ”
