How is this still in business! The service is so bad it's almost comical! We went in last year every day to get a takeaway latte and whilst the people serving us were nice, the owner is beyond miserable! And we were never charged the same price twice for the same order! Came back this year to Gairloch, went straight in to get a latte. Not only did she look like we were ruining her day by going in, she barely spoke to us. When asked how many sugars I would like in my latte, her face and reaction were rude when I replied I would like 4 (I like a sweet latte). Don't waste your money, go to the barn cafe at the big sands campsite. It's just up the road, does a lovely latte, cheaper and friendly,...
Mixed experience. A wide range of cakes and hot drinks. Cheese and Rosemary scone was delicious and so was our apple, cinnamon and black currant cake. GF carrot cake was tasty but a bit dry. Lattes were lacking in milk and served rather lukewarm. I had to ask for them to be heated up a little. This has the potential to be a really nice place. Books, cake and coffee are an excellent combo. However the service wasn't great. The female staff member working wasn't friendly or chatty and made no attempt to interact. Female toilets were pretty tired with wet floors and a broken bin. Not ideal for baby changing.
I had read some unkind reviews about this place, but decided to give it a try anyway. My wife and I ordered, me an oat milk latte and my wife a tea, accompanied by a plum pie and a blueberry scone. The young lady who served us was very polite and helpful, and the drinks and food were very good. My wife’s plum pie was the best she has had, and my coffee was excellent, as good as any I’ve had on our holiday so far. All topped off by a lovey view from the deck. Overall a great experience, and we will be back there today for more coffee and tea.
We called in for coffee a couple of times while staying with family nearby. The coffee is seriously good. I sampled both the carrot cake and lemon cake and they were delicious. My husband had the cheese scone with tomato the first time which was unusual as it is more like a slap of cheese scone. He opted for the plum pie on day 2. It has a free spirit vibe which is lovely. The bookshop next to it is a treasure trove of seriously good books.

We have been visiting this coffee shop for many years and it was good to be back. The coffee is excellent and there is a lovely range of home-made scones, muffins, pies, cakes etc etc which are all fresh and delicious. It opens at 9.00 which is an advantage as several others cafes in the area have later opening times. The cafe is adjacent to an excellent bookstore st one can enjoy coffee and cakes and also a good browse.
I saw bad reviews about this place but we went almost daily for a week and served by a really nice and helpful man and coffee was great. Bad reviews seem to be about a female owner but we were always served with courtesy even at very busy times by this man
Quirky place, a little taste of the Himalayas in Scotland. Vert calm, quiet and chilled inside. Lots of books about Everest plus bookshop attached to the cafe. Fabulous coffee and delicious cakes. Warm and welcoming. Dogs welcome!
The only restaurant we returned to during our stay. Although it may be a bit pricey, it's worth it when you're on vacation. We only did takeout, so I can't speak to the service, but the food was delicious.

This is a charming place to visit for a delicious cup of coffee or tea in a variety of flavors. They offer large scones and provide excellent service, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.
