Blacks of Dunoon in Argyll & Bute

Good food . Friendly ,efficient Staff

Wonderful visit with my son. The atmosphere and service was most welcoming. Thank you

A fantastic bakers with a take away and sit in area. There is a broad range of food, drinksand baked goods. The staff are all lovely. We've become regulars since moving to the area recently. Highly recommend!

Having wandered around Dunoon, we found this little gem of a place for some lunch. It was exceptionally busy with queues for both sit in and takeaway orders but we managed to find a table for two and ordered our food. We had freshly made morning rolls - a coronation chicken and a tuna mayonnaise. They are made at the counter while you wait and were delicious. The staff were friendly and the prices amazing, so reasonable. There were lots of delicious looking cakes and pastries too.

Went for breakfast, burnt bacon, over cooked sausage and black pudding. The egg however was drastically under cooked, yoke and white were gooey the top of the white was actually translucent! Tried to eat some of the egg but eventually gave up it was so under done, as a result found myself unwell that evening!

Fast service at lunchtime, even though it was busy.

Pity there isn't a better choice of artisan breads - only ordinary rolls left at 12.45 on a weekday which was disappointing. Nowhere in Dunoon bar the supermarkets can you get different types crusty rolls, sourdough, fresh crusty baguettes, granary / multigrain loaves and rolls.

Amazing food ,plenty to choose from

On holiday and called in today for cake and coffee. Was so nice we went back for lunch. Very nice 😍

Great food & the staff are so nice.

Went in for a coffee and was tempted by the cakes, unfortunately it was the driest iced finger bun I've ever had, it was stoatin! Please don't sell stale items, you must know how long they have been sitting there. Not a great advert for visitors.

Brilliant prices and great food. Can't wait to go back

Great place for a meal and the service could not be better.

Come to Dunoon for holiday. Found this nice little coffee shop in town. Nice and tidy. Food is ok but pastries is nice. Price is good and reasonable.

Very tasty food for a good price.

To be fair, we only went in for takeout cakes. We had been told that the cakes were quite exceptional. We ordered two pieces of cake and a variety of scones, which we took back to where we were staying. To our disappointment, nothing we bought was in the slightest exceptional. All the cakes and scone were quite dry We'd bought for four people, and none of us finished what we'd bought. The total for our purchases totalled £11.00 To be honest, it was a real waste of money. We won't be returning as we don't live in the area. But, if we did live nearby I'm sure we'd look elsewhere.

Decent food at very reasonable prices

Amazing food and great prices. Highly recommended.

Good place to call for a bite to eat very good prices and a good selection of cakes and sandwiches even made to take out also very clean and well kept..

Just a wee cafe, but they get it all right.

Great little cafe and bakery shop on the High Street in Dunoon. First impressions were very good. Staff friendly and attentive. My husband and myself had coffee/cake and both were delicious. Great price too! Recommended.

I'm sure this used to trade under a different name , when many moons ago i used to visit with my mum on day trips" Doon the Watter". It had an old fashioned tearoom interior No matter, it has had a total remodernising refurb which thankfully has not changed the food quality or service. It still has amazing Sandwiches, pies, cakes and traybakes and lovely tea in teapots. Today we enjoyed, almond cake with hazelnut praline filling and iced fruit cake or as the locals call it "Flies Cemetery "😂 Still marvellous and well worth a visit.

Food is great, so friendly staff. Love the cream yum-yums 😋

Lovely little cafe for a hot beverage and hot lunch

Amazing cakes and excellent prices! I've been going here for over 30 years.

Always fantastic in blacks , all the staff are friendly..

I endulged in the scooby delicacy and it didn't dissapoint, £4 is the average price to pay for such a treat these days so I just want to say thank you for keeping your prices affordable and for providing great quality treats for the local community. Keep it up guys 😁 PS Whoever invented the scooby please give them my upmost gratitude for it has helped me through some really though times. Blacks of Dunoon remains the only place you can find a scooby therefore I tend to go into a deep mode of depression when you can't provide me with such a treat lots of love Scooby Doo

Nice cafe were in for lunch 2 times

Great service nothing too much trouble .staff very pleasant and helpful ☺️

Found it looking for somewhere to have a coffee had latte and cake x took some rolls out to eat later and they were delicious plenty of filling went in a couple of times during our stay in dunoon

Absolutely loved the scooby roll

Nice coffee and cake, clean, friendly and great prices.

Well done with food excellent tony mbe

Fabulous home made cakes and pastries, sit in or take out, highly recommend

The food is cheap and very tasty. the shop was a bit chaotic but that didn't hinder the excellent food for the price.

Food is excellent service is great staff are hard working except the owners daughter who stood in the back both times I was there bent over on her mobile phone very unprofessional and unfair to the rest of the team because she is the owners daughter she gets away with it apart from that I would recommend it for eating

We both visited this extremely busy bakers while visiting the local area, the shop itself appeared to be very clean and popular with the locals, the pies were tasty and well seasoned, the cakes were delicious, we both would have no problem in recommending this establishment to anyone.

I visited my favourite T room/ bakery, or cafe [whatever u want to call it] on Friday 21/4/23 at around 12.30pm & had their lentil soup which could have been a tad thicker BUT the baked tattie 🥔 was spot on. I had beans & pickle on it even though pickle wasn't on the menu to accompany the beans and i could even eat all the skin on my baked potato, which in some other eating establishments one can't (because the skin is tough) & the side salad wasn't too bad either. My friend had a fried egg on a roll & she said that the roll was lovely & wasn't at all chuch (tough)

Great bakery. Their millionaire slice is epic.

It's a bakery with a cafe, nothing fancy but decent quality food. Would be happy to come back again.

Warm cosy cafe. Lovely cuppa out of the rain

A Dunoon institution. My son loves the lentil soup and makes me bring him one everyday in the holidays. Cakes, pies and sausage rolls they have the lot.

Disappointed that they have nothing gluten-free.

Grt food from bakery to jst everything really but place could do with a bit of brightening up very dull at sitting area

Lovely place to pop in for a coffee and lunch

Brilliant to dine in with all the family. Cheap and staffing are friendly and helpful

Lovely wee place ,for a cuppa and natter with your pals .Staff always pleasant and very friendly .

Great coffee stop and good priced food & cakes Staff always welcoming, friendly and helpful. Hot food cooked to order, so always prepared fresh.

The whole holiday was great value and our coach drive Roger brilliant in every respect

Shop is obviously very popular as it was very busy.Service and food excellent.

Pies and pasties are the Biz and they do a good fry up.

Wonderful home baking. Very pleasant staff also a good cup of coffee.

Food was good service pleasant great atmosphere

Great coffee and Roll on tattie scone.

Great for breakfast or lunch 👍🏻

Excellent service and good value and staff very friendly and welcoming

Good service but rating based on a poor food experience. Not many alternatives though in Dunoon.

Popped in on my holiday and had a bacon roll best roll I've ever had lovely wee establishment

Speedily served with tea, toastie and a cake from a big selection. What's not to like.

Was ok. Wee bit cramped and at the time we visited limited choice at the sweeter end of the bakery spectrum. Also a wee bit heavy handed with the coffee syrup. But otherwise fine for a quick coffee and snack

Excellent the cakes were lovely and service with a smile staff were very welcoming

The table layout is a little cramped and the place could do with a facelift. They do not really cater for vegetarian/vegans either.

This is the first time i have visited this place on holiday in Scotland. We found a nice of coffee shop to have lunch which was very nice and the staff were very nice people.

I had Lorne sausage on a well fired roll for the first time in many years as I live overseas. The food was good quality, as was the service. The shop was clean and tidy. Good place for a no frills bite to eat.

Staff very helpful, and knowledgeable about stock.

As usual brilliant service...lovely food and lovely staff...thank you

Lovely food, good prices with excellent covid measures in place.

As cafes go it was ok. Lentil soup was good but next visit there was only veg broth and it was not something I will try again

Lovely bacon rolls with coffee.Beutifully served.

Great selection of sweet treats at great value. Staff are usually very friendly and are always prompt in serving.

Good grub , good price, simple no frills fayre

Just got off the ferry and needed a bacon butty and stumbled upon this little gem. Great service, all very quickly dealt with and food was hot and tasty with all Covid restrictions adhered to👍🏼 Recommended for a light bite☕

Best jacket potato I've ever had! Scones were good as well. Had to come back the next day for more

Nice cakes & sandwiches. I had a cappuccino & it was nice. Staff nice too.

Cheap n cheerful lunch for two for less than£9 .pleasant staff, clean, used by locals..can't go wrong

Great cafe would recommend it everyone ☺️

Lovely cup of coffee and an excellent choice of sandwiches, cakes and pastries, good efficient service by polite staff

Decentwee bakers in the high st. Soup was very good. Let down with the decaf coffee which was out a jar.

Good wholesome fare, reasonably priced

Fantastic place, best coffee and bakery. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Friendly and welcoming staff, prices are reasonable,

Okay for a quick snack and Dunoon lovely little village

Great cafe, good food and lovely cakes at very reasonable prices. Friendly and helpful staff. There's a reason locals queue to go in, it's the best value and quality in Dunoon.

Unpretentious, really good quality baked goods, and piping hot coffee.

Good coffee, tasty macaroons helpful staff.

Waited, waited and waited to be served at counter. 3 people standing about doing nothing. They obviously don't need the custom or the money. Diabolical service. Won't be back even if they offered it free. Would give it no stars if I could.

We were treated like royalty today . Mutual missing shared.

Great cakes, how cakes should be

Not cheap but lovely food. Sit in or takeaway, always made fresh. Love this place.

It was very nice and comfortable the toilet 🚽 was very clean

Visited twice during our stay ex food choice good coffee Staff Brilliant , scones ex . All safety observed very clean toilets would recomend

Having come off the ferry hungry for some lunch we enjoyed a toadtie, cake and coffee at a reasonable price. Very clean, all Covid friendly and staff friendly. Would recommend it.

very nice bakery , friendly service and tasty food

Excellent coffee and bacon rolls. Very clean and we'll staffed. An ideal stop off for a break in the centre of Dunoon.

I ate lunch at Black of Dunoon on 25 November. The macaroni pie, iced doughnut and flavoured water were excellent. The service was the best in Dunoon.

Great customer service fresh and very lovely food and also the cakes

Wow, my partner and I were visiting family and we had breakfast here.This place is an absolute gem and the breakfast was lovely.My partner is Lithuanian and he tells me that the scottish Veg soup he had is just like the soup they make at home.We will be back next year!

3 star clean place to go for a T and cake

Had lunch here while in Cowal for the highland gathering. The home made soup was delicious. Thick and hearty. A buttered roll was included. Next had a steak pie . It was lovely. Tasty and juicy.

Nice food to sit in always busy
