Lovely staff, the food was exceptional. If you are in the area it’s worth a visit (as is the museum) location is wonderful, looking out at the water.

Excellent cappuccinos (decaf and full caf) and scones in a great setting overlooking the bay. Highly recommended!

The best coffee we’ve e had so far in our trip. Excellent service and although we didn’t eat here today the cakes looked fab and the menu was reasonable and a good selection. A must if you are in Gairloch. We may well get to come again- thanks
The museum is well worth a visit

Visited for lunch on a rainy October day. My husband had spicy lentil and veg soup and I had a tuna melt with salad. Both were really tasty- my side salad was exceptional with little cubes of watermelon, curried potato salad, fresh leaves, spring onion and cucumber- very fresh and complimented the tuna melt very well. The spicy soup was hearty, warming and again very tasty.
The staff were all really helpful, friendly and warm- I would definitely recommend this lovely little cafe if you’re passing by.
Oh nearly forgot! the coffee is the nicest we’ve had whilst in Scotland.

Great Start to school holidays,
