We hate eating free hotel breakfasts so we decided to venture out and try to find a breakfast café…read more Unfortunately, we didn't see anything that peaked our interest so we decided to walk to Taste of Argyll to see if they had any availability. The restaurant recommends you make reservations, as it is a very small space, so I wasn't hopeful but luckily it wasn't busy and there were a few tables available. Service was lovely, so friendly and hospitable. We loved hearing our server talk with the locals about their day and all that. Felt really homey and I appreciated that. The food was delicious, presented well and came out super fast. We did not have to wait very long for our breakfast at all. My tea was excellent, I think it was a sea chai or something like that. Super unique and I wish I would have gotten some satchels to take home with me. The coffee is also excellent here.

It was just under new ownership when we called in there two weeks ago and the staff seemed very pleasant. There are lots of snacks and light meals available, including some vegetarian choices; good coffees too. Examples from menu that day: soup of the day (£2.95); toasties, panini, baked potatoes, hot filled rolls (£1.80), big breakfast (5.95). Breakfasts are served until 11.30am. Lovely home baking as well and a lovely fire to sit beside!

In this area there is no shortage of cafe's dotted around the town, this one stood out with the red exterior and probably one of the healthier places to go. Seemed a nice enough place inside, if you are early enough you can grab something to eat of the breakfast menu that is served until 12 noon. Lunch menu is pretty simple with the usual sandwiches, panini's, salads & filled jacket potatoes, I went for the healthier option and went for the egg mayonnaise filled jacket potato with a coffee, pretty good value at £7.50. Great views over the bay from the dining area, would definitely come back & visit again.

Notes This building is a former old bank that is now the cafe, there isn't a card machine to take payments cash only. Food Two of us had lunch here and went for the freshly baked jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw l enjoy jacket potatoes and it's something that l don't often choose on a menu. I could see that there was plenty of baking made here with a batch of freshly made scones on display there was other items there also. There was also the usual suspects such as baguettes and panini's also available. There wasn't any wifi that l noticed and no card machine available, cash only. The person beside me said that it's a hit or miss here at times, this day must have been a good day.

First things first: this is my favourite cafe in Oban. Great food, best coffee I've had in Britain…read moreso far (and I'm Aussie, so you know I'm picky) and the friendliest staff you ever did meet. This cafe is a local favourite, although they welcome travellers with open arms! A mix between cafe and local produce store (think cheeses, whole milk, and some fresh fruit). Charming, very homey decor with maps all over the place. Why? To show you just exactly where the "Food from Argyll" comes from! They list the local businesses they source their produce from & put it all there on the maps for you to see. They also have a big world map & a collection of stickers, so visitors can mark out where they're from! Such a cute idea, and immediately endearing. And the food! Simple, no-nonsense, and delicious. I had poached eggs on brown toast with black pudding (great pud, I have to say!) and my partner grabbed scrambled eggs on brown toast with the hot smoked salmon (again, wow! Best smoked salmon he's had). We unfortunately devoured the meals before taking a photo, but it's reasonably priced for the excellent quality of the ingredients (though I'd love to see some sourdough bread on the menu, and some juices) and for the work they clearly put into their relationships with local businesses. Good coffee, great food, best staff ever. It feels like they love working there and love talking to you. All in all, would absolutely recommend.
