This is such a cute café and gift shop. They are so friendly and warm. You feel like you're eating at a friend's house. We had the leek and sweet potato soup, scone with cream and jam, tea and ice cream. Random I know but all delicious. Soup-thick and flavorful. It was the prettiest orange color and came with some seriously hearty brown brood (that's Scottish for bread). Scone-moist with raisins. It was good by itself but then you add the raspberry jam andhwhipped cream(not sweet-think more like whipped butter) and watch out! I may never leave. The tea was hot and spot on with the scone. Ice cream-they call it ice cream but it was more like frozen custard. Rich, thick and creamy!!! So good. I got traditional flavor-like vanilla. They have a great view of the loch and the castle. There's great outdoors seating and a trail down to a viewing point. This place is great!!! Come for the view and stay for the food. It's so worth a stop.

The cafe itself serves rolls/sandwiches and homemade soup. But the really best bit is the homemade baking the scones and tarts and cakes are amazing.

Situated in the village of Balemartine a short walk from some gorgeous beaches, this cafe offers an extensive range of food and drinks to satisfy most tastes. The menu has an extensive range of sandwiches, wraps and paninis, which are all made to order and are all very reasonably priced. If you feel like treating yourself, you can always go for the very popular Spicy chicken or bean Nachos, perfect for sharing or for the extra hungry! The best part is that as much of the menu as possible is locally produced, from amazingly thick homemade soup to a highly tempting selection of cakes and biscuits. The cafe itself is very popular with both locals and tourists, so it is best to book in advance, but with two indoor and a recently developed outdoor seating area, you shouldn't have too much trouble! A recent expansion has also included a gift shop, stocked with lots of local arts and crafts, ranging from local photography to handmade soap and candles, making this cafe a must for anyone travelling to Tiree....

Snag a table by the window if you can. The decor is super cute! Lots of little hanging items, they have a spoon chandelier and some glass pieces as a mobile. They also have cute little cows for salt and pepper shakers. Cups are adorable too, overall this place stands out for atmosphere and coffee The staff comes over to the table to take your order. I have to say the coffee here is outstanding, they also have different daily specials here on the blackboard and they do have pastries that you can grab and go. They also have free wifi. You do have to go to the counter and pay once you're done The full breakfast was just ok and the scotch pie the same- the food was good but I wouldnt say great. It is fresh and filling, no matter! This place is a great option in Portree.

We walked from our accommodations in town, and it was a lovely little walk on a pleasant autumn day after hiking up to Storr and down to An Corran beach. It was getting awfully close to closing time for them, so I was a bit concerned they might not have much selection, but they absolutely did. We picked up two packets of shortbread and a spicy sweet potato hand pie thing, which we devoured most of on the walk back to our place. We finished the rest of it alongside some other snacks acquired from the Co-op for a very pleasant dinner. It was affordable and the items were well-made.

While they were out of many of them during our trip, we still thoroughly enjoyed the ones we had. The vegetarian haggis was surprisingly delicious. Having never tasted traditional haggis, this is not a comparison. We enjoyed the flavor and the consistency was a bit crumbly without being too mushy. The vegetarian pizza was solid, although a few too many vegetables included for my personal taste (I prefer pizza with two to three items). And the standard margherita pizza was a winner. The staff was friendly and the view from the deck was nice. If you're looking for a cute lunch stop tucked into the southern edge of the Highlands, Glencoe Cafe is a nice option as you travel through the rolling hills of Scotland.

Given its diminutive size, the cafe has a relatively long menu of panini and other sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts, with a sharp focus on tea service. Went with a chicken tikka panini, little salad, and darjeeling. It made for a nice lunch stop. Friendly service, as was the case virtually without exception the whole time were in Scotland. In the Glencoe Cafe's mashed-together seating, we U.S. residents of Ohio ended up being surrounded by Michigan folks who were talking about Big 10 football, including a young couple who, as is apparently contractually or maybe even genetically required of almost all U.S. millennials, order all restaurant food by stating which items they want to "do." "Home sweet home," Jeebus. Finally, here's a piece of advice: If you're driving from Edinburgh to the Glen Coe area like we were, and you're thinking about stopping for lunch on the way, consider that once you pass Stirling and a couple of smaller towns just beyond there, dining options are few and far between in this magical area. Although already hungry, we passed up a couple of sketchy-looking (and thronged) tourist cafes on the A82 about an hour before we got to Glencoe, but were glad we did.

Nothing flashy about the place, but that's not what you're here for. Solid, straightforward lunch spot in Portree. Good for: quick lunch with friends Would return.

There are very few options for lunch in Portree apparently, and this is one of the places that was suggested by our Tour operator. It was a quaint little café, with a cute interior and a small, simple menu. My wife opted for the Fish and Chips, and I ordered a Cafe Smash Burger. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. I did enjoy the large strip of bacon in the burger. This is a Cafe where youplace your order and pay for your meal at a counter. The staff don't interact with us much but seemed nice enough. The glass display did have some treats that looked enticing, but we didn't try any of them. All in all, I don't think you have a lot of options for a meal when visiting Portree, so I would say this would probably be the best one to go to. They'll serve you a meal, and it should probably fill you up. But it's nothing special.

I don't know if it was because we'd stayed at a rather minimal place before this, but this place was first rate! My husband and I were given an en-suite room facing the mountains and what little you could see of the sea (Room 1). The employees were also very hospitable and helpful, quickly coming to my aid when I became ill having arrived not 5 minutes before in the parking lot. Of course, no mention of the Sonachan can occur without mention of Finlay, their beautiful collie, who came to greet us upon arrival and stuck to me like Velcro while I recovered. So, to sum up, great location, wonderful service (the fact that they opened the entire B&B for a mere group of 4 is a testament to that), good food (the full English we got in the morning was superb), and a decent price make this an awesome place to go if you're trekking through the Highlands.
