The perfect pick-me-up for that afternoon slump before the weekend hits. Pop down and grab a slice with your coffee if it’s not sold out by the time you get here!

Yikes, the weather is certainly changing this weekend but we have the perfect thing for it!

When it’s grey and rainy outside, get cosy in our conservatory and watch the rain outside from the comfort of Capilla with one of our lattes and a famous Carrie at Capilla Cafe bake!

Sometimes a rainy day calls for coffee and cake… and we’re here for it! ☕️🍰

It’s a big weekend for everyone down in Scrabster Harbour with our fantastic Scrabster Harbour Trust hosting Harbour Day! 🚢

To celebrate, our teams are bringing you the FRESHEST of crab straight from the local waters - could your carbon footprint be any lower for this meal?!?

At Capilla Café, Carrie has made Scrabster-landed crab, served in a toasted brioche bun with garlic butter and served with her usual fresh side salad, coleslaw and crisps.

These will be available while stocks last - after all, only the freshest local ingredients could taste as good as this! 🦀
