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.

We just popped in to grab a little something we could eat on the road. We split one cheddar scone and one fruit scone … I wish we’d taken a dozen! So, so good! Definitely stop in, I know I will next time I’m on...Mull.More

Lovely homemade cakes and sandwiches by Laura the owner, who definitely takes real pride in what she does. Lovely coffee and so many treats in a lovely little cafe. Don’t drive by without stopping

We popped into the Coffee Pot for coffee and cake at the weekend and were astounded at the large and diverse range of cakes and tray bakes, all of which were home-made by Laura. Everything looked delicious so it was difficult making our choices. Being...gluten-intolerant I was delighted to have a number of options to choose from (there were a number of vegan options available too). In the end I opted for the gluten free chocolate and ginger slice, and my husband chose the coffee and walnut cake. Both were excellent. I would have preferred proper mugs/cups for the coffee as I am not a fan of disposables but appreciate that the cafe provides a popular takeaway service.More

Cakes out of this world, the choice is remarkable. Coffee great and the service and friendliness above what is expected. Do not pass this by just because you cannot sit in, we visited a few times and either sat outside or in our car.

Didn’t go into the cafe but stopped by the cake box which is located next to the shop a few times during our holiday to get some sweet treats. It’s open 24/7 and has an honesty box. Lovely selection of tray bakes, fudge and biscuits....Loved the white chocolate rocky road and strawberry and white chocolate flapjack.More

This little gem sells freshly made stuff such as sandwich baguettes and drinks to take away. There are a few seats outside and we were lucky enough to have good weather to take advantage of them. The bacon baguette I had was the best ever...and all of my family enjoyed their choices. Great find.More

Wow the best cafe & tearooms ever. The menue choice is amazing and the cakes are fabulous. We dropped in just for take away coffee first time then just had to go back for coffee & cake. The chicken, ham & mushroom pie was a...great hit with my husband. I had fruit Scone & jam. When we had finished, we sat out on seats under a canopy at the front of the cafe, I won't back in for scones, sausage roll & Tobermory Whisky & pineapple cake to take away. Outside there is also a cake box full of goodies, open 24/7 for when the shop is shut. Laura who runs the shop and makes the cakes is both friendly & helpful. So are the other members of her team.More

Had lunch with my family and friends whilst staying in Salen. HANDS DOWN the best cafe I have used bar none. Excellent range of snacks, food & drinks that are all very reasonably priced. Cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free which is great for...the small set up. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend a stop to taste some of the delicious food whilst on Mull.More

We can't rate the Coffee Pot highly enough. Every time we visit the food and the welcome is consistently excellent. A smile with every visit is important. And the service is second to none. Definitely the best food on Mull, with good service and smiles...in abundance.More

Fantastic little coffee shop. We visited several times while staying at nearby Salen Bay Campsite. Owner was really friendly and helpful with local knowledge. Amazing bacon baguettes and cakes. Well worth a visit.

We stopped by towards closing time for a drink and snack having been stranded in our broken-down car for most of the day near Killiechronan while waiting for rescue by the RAC. When we arrived we were very much in need of a drink and...something to eat. The Coffee Pot offers quality, homemade baking, pies, sausage rolls, etc. Such a treat to be able to buy properly handmade delights! We had a sausage roll and a fruit scone - both excellent. Only disappointment was the quality of the coffee - it was weak and lacked body. That said though, we'd definitely return for the home produce and the ambience and would recommend a visit!More

Picked up lunch which I have to say was delicious. The staff were very busy but everything looked under control. The ham salad baguette had lots of filling and the spiced orange cake was very tasty. I would love to know how many hours rest...Laura gets as everything is handmade by her - as the little signs state. This woman deserves an award 😁. Are you sure that elves are not helping through the midnight hours 🤣. Thanks for a lovely lunch - I will be back 💜More
