Bonnie and Ben Cafe in Argyll & Bute

It was closing spot on time so we didn't sample their wares this year. Coffee was quite good last year though.

There is no indoor seating in fact no seating at all

Lovely stop on the banks of Loch Lomond...

Hole in the wall coffee outlet, friendly and helpful staff but kinda too crowded as also part of tickets for Loch Tour ticket booth! Great oatmeal milk coffee!

Busy place on edge of Loch Lomond. Parking was quite tight, but it all worked for us

Good little coffee stop. Cake and baguettes, too. Fair price. Friendly staff.

Took me 30 minutes to get food, they are rude and gossip about me, asking where my food is.

Very pretty stop on the side of Loch Lomond. Good prices and delicious toasties from the kiosk. Toilets clean.

Lovely spot by the loch with beautiful views. Very quick and tasty panini and excellent cuppa at good price

Good place and good service. Toilets and parking available for free.

Best Latte since leaving Melbourne for Europe 3 weeks ago! Amazing young ladies running the shop!

Food was okay, but I found it extremely overpriced for a takeaway cafe

We had a 1 hour stay at Loch Lomond, delicious coffee and fresh from the portafilter, small snacks.

Lovely little cafe, coffee and panini great. Toilets clean but no soap. Unfortunately one star off for drinking water supply for motorhomes cut off and black water dump seems blocked and nearly overflowing with no sign not to use and no water or hose to wash down so "spillage" around waste dump as it's been used but no way to clean after. Love these services and always spend money here when using but people rely on them even out of season.

So glad for a hot coffee when walking by the loch.

Free parking and toilet (both very clean). Amazing views over the loch. Takeaway food at bonnie and Ben's limited but really good! Staff very friendly and plenty of space to walk dogs and can bring them in the little porch area where the toilets and takeaway are.

This is a great wee place to visit after a day up in the mountains or venturing around the Glen Loin Loop. The service is always 1st class and the hot drinks & cakes are always good. It's probably one of the best views you'll get whilst having a coffee.

Handy little coffee and sandwich shop

Great coffee, friendly service. Bought a pastry with lemon filling from glass on counter but pastry was stale.

Rarely post reviews about bad service but this was really poor. Rude behaviour from person serving coffee. Claimed I was a sales person as I repeated myself. Poured coffee down the sink as it was strong and undrinkable. I hope this staff member doesn't treat any elderly or disabled customers like this. Horrible exchange.

lovely to get all your snacks before a cruise on the loch

Food and drink is very expensive, the staff would not give me change for the car park unless I purchased something......other than that the car park and toilets are open all night and the scenery is stunning. Plenty of picnic areas with seating.

Very reasonably priced, great selection paninis and cakes! And nice staff. Perfect location.

Lugar ideal para hacer noche en autocaravana, con vistas al Lonch Lomond. Y sitio para dejar aguas negras, grises y reponer agua

Piccolo punto di ristoro in cui ci siamo fermati durante il nostro tragitto verso Edimburgo. Locale piccolo, che offre qualche snack e dolci. Bagni comodi e abbastanza grandi. Bellissimo l'esterno, ci sono panchine e tavoli con una splendida vista sul lago. Small takeaway that we stopped at on our way to Edinburgh. Small place, offering a few snacks and sweets. Comfortable and enough large bathrooms. The outside is beautiful, there are benches and tables with a splendid view of the lake.

Nice stop for photos and get some coffee ☕️ with the view. Careful with mosquitos 🦟 but other than that It was great stop place.

Busy little cafe, but very on top of their game!! Very quick, no mistakes and it tastes great!

Incredible view, we’ll worth stopping for this alone!

Toen wij aan kwamen rijden was er net een boot aangemeerd waardoor de toiletten en koffie tentje vol waren. Toch word je snel geholpen. Uitstekende koffie en warme chocolademelk en betaalbaar. Zodra de boot weg is , keert de rust over het genoeg. Parkeren is 50 cent voor een half uur. Prima voor ons doel.

What a delight to meet Blanch at Bonnie & Benn this morning. Fabulous coffee, well worth the stop off on my journey.

Great coffee stop , with picturesque view of Ben Lomond

Website and Google say it’s open so stopped for my 45min break and it’s closed

Impressed by the clean, well-provided toilet. Went on Highland day tour and had stopped by at least four lavatories and this was THE BEST.

You've got to have pretty low standards to think this place is good. £6 for a cheese and ham panini where every element of it is from the value isle. One slither of ham! It's an absolute joke! Teas also tasted disgusting which is quite an achievement. £25 for three paninis, two teas and two apple juices; the majority of which went in the bin. Avoid unless you're content to be ripped off.

It's literally on the loch Lomond and you can book your cruise there and a public and disabled free toilets plus a cafe and I met such a friendly lady runs the cafe

Found the Bonnie & Ben Cafe whilst out for a walk along the shores of Loch Lomond on a very cold wet day. Did not have any food but the coffee was great and the lady serving was very friendly. We visited another twice during our stay in Scotland whenever we were passing Tarbet.

Very nice area. We only stopped for walk. As we were driving for 2 hours.

Good coffee and friendly service👍

Very very poor, it’s not a cafe, don’t expect bacon or sausage sandwiches because all they do is a cold croissant no butter no jam,( but I’m sure it will still taste good ) she quoted a few overpriced cakes and I think paninis , their cappuccino I could actually tip upside down it was just bubbles of milk and a 1cm of fluid and got billed just under a £5 for the privilege. Very very poor for a business to call themselves a cafe At a major tourist rest spot I certainly don’t recommend very over priced poor service and food. I never put good food in the bin, but that’s what I did before getting to my car . Stay away

Discovered this place accidentally with my family. The place sits on top of this hill with an extremely beautiful view of Loch Lomond. It has some really nice outside space where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. The coffee they made was really nice, the coffees are made well. I nice little simple place for anyone to enjoy.

Went in but nobody serving so I went out again.

Coffee ok. Paninis made with poor quality cheese. Greasy.

Dreadful tea. Just go for the views and loo

The coffee was very bitter. Expensive. Prime location.. and not many alternatives, so maybe they feel they don't have to try too hard.

Okay, I get this is this shores of Loch Lomond but £6 for a ham toastie? That's taking the mickey. And I couldn't even look the staff in the eyes as I ordered 1 toastie that was almost worth as much as they earn in an hour. Horrendously midge infested, but that's nothing to do with establishment

Really good - nothing pretentious but just good food/nice service and a really stunning view of the Loch out the back

we had coffee and traybake each after the boat trip and sat down nearer admiring the view of Loch Lomond. fabulous view and we stayed there for good an hour. Toilets were clean behind the cafe.

A wonderful young girl prepares in that small place one of the best coffee I've drunk!! And I say it not because she is very nice, pretty and very kind, but because this coffee is maximally essential and mega correctly made. For the last 100 coffees I've drunk in London and Scotland this was best prepared!!! Flat White had the right balance, beautiful body, as the only one did not have too much milk and was appropriately strong!!!!! Barists of big restaurants, that person knows what it does!!! ;)

Beautiful views and the best coffee !

Had the most delicious hot chocolate which cheered and warmed us on a miserable day, the views were still stunning despite the rain.

Not visited the cafe as it was closed but good for a campervan overnighter, toilets closed overnight.

Wonderful place for a walk and relaxation

während wir auf das Schiff warteten, Kakao und Cappuccino getrunken. Sie waren recht günstig und total lecker. Es gab auch noch Eis am Stiel und Knabberkram. Die Bedienung war trotz des Andrangs sehr schnell und mega freundlich. Für den Verzehr konnte man draußen sitzen, jedoch haben beißende Insekten (Mischung aus Mücke und Bremse) sehr genervt.

Nice stop during our visit to Arrochar & Tarbet. The woman working shared a lot of history of the area and was lovely to talk to.

Angelina in the cafe made this special place even more special. Beautiful place and very peaceful, with stunning views!

Vaig localitzar aquest lloc per internet, vam passar de camí a les Highlands per estirar les cames i fer un cafè, però malauradament estaven en obres amb el local tancat. Hi havia una caseta a la vora del llac on venien algunes coses per menjar, però que no tenia res a veure amb el local que estava tancat. Les vistes al llac Lomond son molt boniques si fa bon dia.

This little place is so conveniently situated right on the Loch side. I rate it highly for its convenience. Good for hot and cold drinks and sandwiches. After eating we had a lovely walk around the shore and then up into the hills. Views out over the water are wonderful.

I loved this small cafe, staff very friendly and helpful plenty of space and picnic tables nearby had a lovely hot chocolate whilst enjoying the view.

Tre bon accueil. Excellent repas. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande vivement cet endroit

Great food and very friendly staff.

Very bright and helpful young staff,coffee was good and bacon buttie was good and filling, more expensive than some places.Do not try to visit at the present time as the Loch Lomond National Parks have decided to revamp the toilets in the building which they own and the cafe has had to shut right in the middle of the summer tourist season,putting staff out of work and to the annoyance of the many regulars and visitors who use it while waiting for a cruise on Loch Lomond.This is the cras stupidity of National Parks Authority to close it in the summer when this work could have been done before the season started.I hope the cafe can reopen soon because it is popular.

Very nice place with the best mocha with cream! Definitely recommend to visit this cafe. If you'll be fancy boat trip, you can buy tickets there too. Friendly and helpful staff, plenty parking spaces and absolutely amazing view.

We had a nice little pit stop on are way up north, tea’s, coffees, snaks and a lovely view

Expensive and unpleasant staff!!! The space is very small and old....

Lovely coffee and millionaire shortbread. Nice view to drink it with

C'est cher, petit et le personnel mal aimable

A lovely stop right on the lakeshore. There’s large parking lot. Inside the shop you find the toilets and the cafe, which has a good selection of drinks and food. Their baked goods were wonderful—I had a cranberry and white chocolate tray bake, while my husband had a peppermint one. My bar went well with my peppermint tea.

Great place to fill a corner before tea time

You really get more than you can expect from this place. Really love the service. Awesome toffee tart :)

An good place to stop if you are driving to West coast of Scotland.

All the money was clearly spent on the sign at the side of the road. The “cafe” is more like a very small alleyway with a kitchen on one side and two tables on another. No room to move if busy / raining. And then there is the phoney banter so beloved of people from round here. You can’t hear yourself think whilst the staff shriek and gurn at anyone unfortunate enough to enter their premises. There is not much else here, so bring a packed lunch and a flask of tea instead.

We were expecting a cafe but it's more a kiosk selling a limitted selection of prepared food. The building is mostly a toilet-block. That said, the service was very friendly. Also, the area is set-up fantastically for a picnic with lots of green space and picnic tables with stunning views of the loch.

A lovely, friendly welcome awaits in this wee gem of a place. We had a coffee and cake and enjoyed both. Worth a wee visit and a chat with the lovely staff.

Friendly staff and clean toilets. Nice choice of drinks and food.

What a great little cafe! We enjoyed it that much we went twice. Lovely service by a lovely young lady who I think was called Angeline. Very chatty and very informative about the area. Place was clean, tidy and the bacon bap’s were superb. Highly recommended. My husband said his mocha was best he ever tasted. Cup of tea was also very good I may add.

Awesome cafe near a beautiful view! Good dessert and coffee.

Beautiful views of Loch Lomond, warm welcome from the lady who was working there that day. (Wed 16th Jan) Although only a small venue, its ideal for picking up a hot drink (lovely coffee), sandwich and snacks for lunch. We were given lots of brilliant local information while we were there, we stayed about an hour as it poured with rain! And thank you for short cut back to our hotel in Arrochar, saved us 15 mins walk!

Very good coffee and very nice service is clean and tidy and very nice place to go . When we back thanks.

Brief pit -stop on our way North , as my friend loves their yogurt topped tray bake . Ordered a flat white which was so good I went back in & ordered a second. Full rich flavour which wasn’t bitter or wishy washy.

Stopped here on our way to Campbeltown, it's a great stop for a coffee, sandwich and amazing views. The staff were friendly, helpful and chatty and loved our dogs which is always a bonus! Would definitely recommend this as a pit stop if you're in the area or driving past.

Stopped at the Bonnie and Ben Cafe on route from Fort William south for a hot drink and toilet break and didn’t bother with the drink based on the condition of the toilets

Located conveniently where the road forks left to Campbeltown and right to Crianlarich, follow the Crianlarich turnoff at the Tarbert Hotel and turn into the car park about 10 yards along marked WC at the bus stop. Needless to say there's a WC in the cafe, very clean and convenient. Inside the ladies are very kind and helpful, fare is basic, soup, sandwiches, toasties, cakes and drinks. My wife had the soup of the day, lentil, home made, tasty and well seasoned. I had the cheese and tomato sandwich which was fresh and delicious. I was sore tempted by the cakes, there was a wonderful interchange between the ladies with a regular customer about the peppermint shortcakes, so good she took two. There's a large green leading down to the Loch, so beautiful views and places to exercise the children or dog. Overall a great place to pause whether heading north or south.

Had lunch before a cruise on Loch Lommond. Friendly staff and super food. Really enjoyed the home made soup. Very small inside and very few seats so I would imagine it's very packed in summer but plenty places to sit outside. Can also buy cruise tickets here.

We stopped here for half an hour on our way to Loch Ness. We were so glad we did as there are amazing views over Loch Lomond. We had the mars bar cake, tiffin cake and a millionaire shortbread and they were all delicious.

I didn't have any food or drink at this place but thought as there's not many reviews for it I'd share my experience. The staff here are so friendly and will make anyone feel welcome. We went in to ask about the Loch Lomond cruises and the ladies inside couldn't have been more helpful. The place seemed clean enough and the prices looked reasonable for the location.

Nice little cafe whilst awaiting the cruises. Made best use of space with the space avalible and the customer service was the best I received whilst in Scotland.

Popped in for sandwich with our dog in were surprised at how small it is and there were not tables at first. Despite this the food was nice and staff were friendly.

Nice little place to stop for Loch Lomond. They don't charge to use the toilets. Get a good view also.

ローモンド湖の湖畔にあるカフェです。トイレもあり、観光船の乗り場もあります。ちょっとしたドライブの休憩に便利です。

Very busy spot, although it is the height of summer! Soup was disappointing, and sandwiches acceptable. This place isn't going to be a great lunch spot, but that's not it's purpose. So it's acceptable whilst waiting for a loch cruise.

Great coffee and friendly staff.

We had a lovely hot chocolate here the staff were very friendly it us right by the loch side you can drink in or there is a lovely grass area with picnic tables

Great place to stop on the way up or down Loch Lomond, esp for a picnic or if the weather is nice. Cafe has a good selection of hot and cold sandwiches and drink, good coffee. Free parking, Loch Lomond cruises and bike hire available from here as well.

Decent drinks and cakes. Sit outside with a great view of the loch

Simply yet great coffee, snacks and service. Highly recommend. Very popular with the cycling community.

Stopped for a takeaway coffee and tea. Bothe very good and not expensive. Pleasant and helpful staff. Only down side was broken ice cream machine. Still, who wants an ice cream in July in Scotland - its too cold!

Great place to stop for coffee or home made soup. Plus home made cakes...

Excellent coffee, the lady behind the counter was helpful, friendly and very, very chatty Be prepared to wait a while as she talks to everybody, so much better than some of the miserable folks in other establishments

Bonnie & Ben Cafe located on the shores of Loch Lomond was a delightful little spot. Our tour group, a van of 16 stopped here for a coffee & snack while we visited the gorgeous lakeside. They served all sorts of little pastries and coffees, including sodas of all brands. A perfect little place in a perfectly beautiful location!
