Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I enjoyed a signature steak sandwich, which was gorgeous. To wash it down, I had a beautiful deluxe hot chocolate. Staff are lovely and helpful. A clean and lovely interior

So good to be back here after a year away and we always look forward to eating and drinking in this cafe. The soup was absolutely delicious, served with sourdough bread and cakes really good too. They do a range of casual breakfasts, lunches and...cakes and all are really good. the staff are super friendly which makes it a very special place. Only pity is that it is not open Saturdays or Sundays.More

The cafe is situated across from the water so had great views. The welcome was friendly… the service was fabulous! One of our party is coeliac and also dairy free…. They couldn’t have been better hosts, sharing what items they used in drinks to cater...for my friend. The cakes were delicious! Coffees also delightful. It was a thoroughly enjoyable visit and we would encourage anyone in the area to pop in for drinks and food 😀 amazing!!More

Flying visit before we got on our boat trip and were lucky to get seated and served so quickly! Kids loved their special lunch and adults were impressed with the serving sizes! Friendly staff, reasonable prices and tasty food.

We visited lovely Gairloch on a glorious sunny day in June. We'd eaten in Coast Coffee Company last year so headed back and were not disappointed. Excellent food which we ate on a picnic table across the road overlooking the harbour in the sunshine. Very...friendly staff, and a great wee shop selling interesting good quality items next door.

Visited here twice on our stay up here. Both times it was great. First time was coffee and scones, lively scones and unlike many places plenty of butter to go with the scone. Second time was soup, I had bread and my husband had a...cheese scone. The soup was excellent, bread lovely and fresh and the scone huge and fluffy. Thoroughly enjoyed our two visits to Coast Coffee. Oh, and the dog got a bit of bacon each time!!More

No doubt about it, this was the best food stop on the NC500. I had the steak sandwich and my wife had the Lebanese platter, to die for. The staff were so lovely and the young lady serving us was more than happy to talk...us through some of the walks we could do in the area. They treated our dog like the star customer and even took his picture for their instagram. They were pretty busy when we came in, but it was school holidays and the staff made sure we felt seen and everything flowed beautifully. Spoke to some bikers next to us that said it was the best food they had ever had , can't say we disagree!! Delicious coffee, stunning food, incredible location and friendly staff. A credit to the area and an absolute star find. Thanks so much guys, we will be back.More

We had read so many good reviews for this cafe that we decided to try coffee and cake. A couple of gluten free cakes. I had a raspberry type gf cake and hubby had a lemon drizzle if I remember correctly. Coffee just as I...ike it n hubby's was ok. Not for us as I felt overwhelmed as it was busy - but very light and airy - with great views - in hindsight we would have been better sitting by the harbour . Lots of steps up to the cafe - we walked round the back to the accessible entrance but couldn't get anyone's attention. If the cafe had been on ground floor I may not have gone in. However dog friendly which is great and they get treats too. If we are in area again might call in for an outside ☕️.More

What a place. Spectacular. Came at 1 and they were a bit busy but no wonder because this is the best food, drink and atmosphere of anywhere we visited on the nc500. The staff were an absolute delight, super friendly, got bacon for our dog...and a high seat for our toddler right away. The food was incredible, Lebanese platter, soup and panini and of course cake which we took away. The coffee was brilliant we even got to see the coffee roaster next door where they roast their own beans. Loads of fresh justices and milkshakes which we didn’t have but looked great. Super clean toilets and baby changing as well. The gift shop next door is also beautiful and was our f spirited place we bought gifts from, we bought loads of the candles they make, awesome!!!More
