Nona Lous, The Old School, Dumfries

No Rocky Road to review I'm afraid but I was assured that it is frequently available amongst their cakes and traybakes. I'm hoping to go back and sample it soon. I need to go back to Dumfries soon to do some research, so that's a good excuse. 
My daughter and I did sample the soup, which was great, and the salad, which was excellent. We also tried the cakes which were also of an equally high standard. The two young women who have opened this cafe are doing an excellent job. The decoration is wonderful and a treat for anyone interested in that Cath Kidston cottage style. They use old china crockery and are keen to receive donations if anyone is thinking of throwing any out - in good condition only I would guess, not anything chipped. They told me that the bake things fresh every day. Their only difficulty that I can see is that the building, The Old School, is not easy to find. I think people in and around Dumfries probably know where to find this new centre that houses an art room, drama studio and hairdressers along with the tea room. But casual visitors are not going to chance upon it. I lived in Dumfries for seven years so have some understanding of the little warren of roads where The Old School can be found, and the one way system that sweeps you passed it. It is well worth working out how to get there though if you're going to Dumfries. There's a treat in store.
