Cafe Harris in Argyll & Bute

Came across this Cafe after being turned away from another as it was too busy. How glad was I?! The homemade cakes are unbelievable and the coffee was perfect. I cannot fault the place even with the COVID-19 procedures in place the service was quick and friendly.

Stumbled across this cafe just off the Main Street in Oban. Coffee tastes delicious and cakes were incredible. Lovely owner and great cafe!

Popped in for coffee and cake. Owner was very attentive and welcoming. Happily return for some good strong coffee and lovely homemade cakes

Fuimos a almorzar a este café el viernes, los sándwiches venían con pan encantador y estaban bien presentados. Yo también pedí un café, y una porción de lo que creo que era una esponja de caramelo. Estaba delicioso.Las porciones de pastel son muy generosas y recién hechas. El personal siempre es muy amable y acogedor, ¡hacen un trabajo fantástico para hacerte sentir como en casa!Volveremos otra vez, ahora me considero un habitual en este café!

Was looking forward to going here with all the good reviews, but really rushed service and cheap borderline raw bacon. Cake was nice though

Always fresh and tasty food served with a smile and nothing is a hassle for the girls. Definitely best coffee in Oban.

Fantastic food, fantastic wee cafe and Julie is a fantastic friendly face to have in charge. Had a scrambled egg, bacon and avocado roll this morning and it was possibly the best roll I’ve ever eaten

The staff are very friendly. I had a coffee and breakfast roll. Both were lovely. Will definitely go here again

The staff was very welcoming and nice, they didn't pressure me to order quickly or anything. The coffee shop itself is pretty small and cozy, there's no background music but it's a very relaxced atmosphere. The wifi is free. Service took 10 minutes for my food. They offer breakfast and lunch: open sandwiches, wraps, paninis, toasties, salads, they have vegan and vegetarian options. For 4,65 I had an avocado, tomato and mozzarella toastie. The avocado was a bit firm, but the bread was great, the cheese was well melted, the tomatoes were delicious, as were the salad and coleslaw. I'm very happy with my visit!

Love this place, friendly staff, with fresh homemade cakes and scones... best coffee in town... never disappoints

A lovely little restaurant with very polite and accommodating staff who handbrake all their goods. The size and quality of cake you get here is just incredible, it’s my go to place for a cake and cup of coffee, very relaxed atmosphere.

Popped in here to get a drink and a slice of cake at lunch time yesterday. I had a slice of coffee cake which was lovely and moist with just the right amount of flavouring and my husband had a honeycomb slice which he very much enjoyed!

After a very early start in Tobermory, 9 hungry travellers descended on Cafe Harris for a much needed breakfast. Julie and Eilidh were amazing and despite our invasion at short notice, provided my 8 French guests and I with the best breakfast of their visit to date. Everything cooked fresh to order, accompanied by excellent selection of teas, coffee and juices. 👌 Huge thanks Julie and Eilidh, you saved the day. Next time we’ll pre-book table/menu and give you some warning.See you soon!

Café Harris. It is a nice little café close to town center and Tesco superstore. Therefore parking is free for 3 hours. Plenty of time for coffee after your shopping. I quite like it. It is spacious, you can have your meal or drink outside if weather is good. However, they haven’t mastered yet the art of serving caffe macchiato. It was good but we were served a mug-full of it. Never mind, we are just fussy. Closed on Sunday.

We came across Café Harris when we were mooching around Oban having got off there on a day coach trip from our hotel by Loch Awe. I am so glad we ventured in. It is relatively small, but such friendly owners. We only had a scone, jam and butter and a cup of tea, but it was delicious. It was the best tea we had drunk since leaving our own home a few days earlier. The scone was home made and the jam was like home-made - I know as I make my own raspberry jam as this was its equal. I had a nice chat to the owners - husband and wife team. I am so pleased to recommend this café, you won't be disappointed.

We went to cafe Harris for lunch with 2 hungry kids and left with 2 happy kids. It's not a big cafe and we were fortunate to arrive just as a table became free. The staff were very friendly and our orders taken quickly and arrived quickly too.

Went to this cafe for breakfast on two occasions during our stay in oban. Very nice place very friendly staff, great breakfasts

My sister and I decided to try Cafe Harris. My nose directed me in. A small cafe with the freshest ingredients I’ve ever tasted in Oban so far. The staff were really polite, friendly and helpful. The chef accommodated our wishes. I’ve never tasted a salad like it and my sister was so happy. Thank you, Cafe Harris

We were staying a short distance from this cafe so popped in for breakfast. It is a beautiful little cottage in an alley leading to TESCO, therefore one can get necessities either before or after visiting the cafe.Service- Brilliant! Nothing is a problem and orders are taken quickly and always with a smileFood- We had breakfast which was superb. Everything was fresh, yummy eggs, terrific big breakfast and my husband who is a really pedantic in having his coffee after breakfast, well it was timed perfectly!We returned the next morning again for breakfast and were treated like long-standing friends. Please visit for coffee, cake breakfast or whatever! The ladies are fabulous

Sehr schönes Lokal, nettes Personal, das Mittagessen (Panini, Toastsandwich, Suppe & Salat) und der Kuchen waren excellent. Das Cafe ist sehr zu empfehlen und wir kommen wieder!

Visited this establishment a few times now for breakfast, food is always lovely, fresh and local! Staff are always on hand and all very friendly, would recommend this place for breakfast definitely, never eaten in it later in the day so can’t comment on that at the moment.

Great fast breakfast option ! We popped in for a coffee, but ended up easily tempted by what others had. So ordered a scone with jam, and eggs on toast. Occupies a handy spot near Tesco etc, but tucked away so you need to know it's there...

The staff are lovely and the food is really nice. It’s a nice cosy hideaway in an otherwise busy town. I was a bit disappointed, however, as I am new to the area and I noticed that a customer who knew one of the staff members well was able to get a breakfast after breakfasts had stopped being served. I had asked about breakfasts but was not given this as an option. I do find it hard to swallow when different rules apply to people who are considered more local than others. I am not the kind of person to leave a bad review and mark down your perfect ratings, but please consider this for the future as I would like to come back.

Dropped into Café Harris the other day, usual warm and friendly greeting from the staff. As the weather wasn't great I decided to have the home made potato and leek soup....wow wasn't that a good choice?? Tasty, filling, lovely fresh wholemeal bread, highly recommend this or anything else on the menu....the beauty of made to order service. I don't drink coffee at home nowadays so I had one of their lattes, just a s great as ever.

We popped into the cafe today for breakfast after walking around Oban looking for a full Scottish fry up and to our surprise most places only offer a breakfast roll.they had a great selection of breakfast food including vegan and vegitarian options. Had a brilliant full fry and quick service , defos recommend !

Thoroughly enjoyed our morning at Cafe Harris! Avocado and egg on toast was incredible, cappuccinos even better. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend! Cheers!

I was in cafe Harris for the first time today. I ordered the full breakfast and it was excellent,the bread for the toast was very good.

Loved my vegetarian wraps & my coffee. Served by smiling friendly staff & cater for all tastes. Fresh 1st class baking for those with a sweet tooth.

Julie and her staff are so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble, and you are made to feel that your custom is valued.Spotlessly clean and delicious food.

Had a lovely lunch here and would definitely recommend. Was a rainy day in Oban and was just needing a nice bowl of soup. Had a lovely vegetable soup and bread was lovely, good portion size and definitely cheapest in the town. My partner had his soup with the wrap deal which again was a great cost and very plentiful. The two coffees were just lovely and the milk was how they should be for a latte and cappuccino. Service was great. Lovely experience ☺️

I went to cafe Harris for a coffee and cake, it was great. The staff were really nice and the coffee and cake were lovely. I had a look at their menu for lunch and there was lots of choice and it sounded lovely, looking forward to going back to try the food.

Friendly, nice situated right at Tesco car park. Great Italian coffee & scrumptious home baking. Worth a visit !

Enjoyed a lovely avocado and chicken salad, the menu had a nice selection of salads, toasties & toasted tortilla sandwiches. Lovely coffee, a huge variety of teas and lovely staff. 👍🏼😋

I frequent Café Harris almost on a daily basis and due to circumstances I'm mostly there in the mornings, soon after opening time so I have breakfast.Café Harris has a more than adequate breakfast menu, traditionally based with a few imaginative and well presented differences. Locally sourced produce used throughout and attended by friendly efficient staff in a spotlessly clean environment.......what breakfast should be.......sets you up for the day....

We popped in for breakfast before a long journey home. The service was with a smile, attentive and friendly. The food was fabulous - between us we had porridge, a bacon roll and scrambled eggs and bacon on toast. There was a nice choice of hot drinks but a bit limited for soft drinks. The cafe itself is comfortable and cozy, a relaxing place to get a bite to eat.

Delicious wraps , panini and perfect coffee! Visiting that place every day and always get fresh and tasty food . Definitely worth recommending Gregor

As a regular customer I can definitely recommend Cafe Harris. Always fresh, delicious and good quality food with very friendly service! The best place to eat in town.

Qui si può bere il miglior caffè espresso di Oban. Ottima arabica, accuratamente selezionata dalla proprietaria (che ha imparato l’arte di fare un ottimo caffè espresso probabilmente in Italia).Il servizio e l’accoglienza sono eccellenti, molto al di sopra della media locale. Ottimi i dolci casalinghi, preparati con materie prime di qualità.

Cafe Harris is a welcomed addition to Oban coffee shop scene, Good coffee, good food, friendly and good service. A place that will do even better as it grows

Saw a lot of people entering the café, it always appeared to be busy.I went in for coffee one day and was totally impressed with the qualityof service and the coffee is divine.I've been going in almost every day for two weeks for breakfast, lunch and snacks.A total credit to the town, the manageress and staff are always attentive and displaya high level of professionalism in delivering a high quality of service.Looking forward to my coffee in the afternoon......

We had a delicious lunch, all freshly made to order. Homemade cakes are gorgeous and the staff so friendly and chatty. We will be back soon xx

Cafe Harris is one of only TWO places in Oban (that we found, and we did look!) that make coffee that tastes like coffee (instead of vaguely coffee-ish milk!). We are from Melbourne, in Oz, so there's a style, perhaps that we are used to. So this isn't a criticism of other places, but simply a compliment to Cafe Harris: if you like really good, full-flavoured coffee, this place is for you. But wait! There's more! The staff are really welcoming and friendly, particularly Julie, who runs the place (I think). We stayed in Oban for a month and had morning coffee at Cafe Harris on probably seven or eight occasions. Excellent every time. The place is spotlessly clean and has a comfy sofa near a little bow-window, so you can check people passing by - a constant and entertaining parade!The food - cakes and scones - is super fresh and very tasty. It's prepared and presented very quickly and every attention (but not intrusively) is made to ensure you're happy and comfortable. We haven't been here for a meal yet, but we'll do do before we go!

Not knowing the city and in great need of a morning coffee, we sat down on the terrace at the first place we came across (which shall not be named). After waiting a while with no service ("I'll be with you in a minute!"… not) we saw Cafe Harris and decided to go there instead. Right away, a warm and friendly welcome! Ordered two lattes and breakfast, all excellent. There's also a nice selection of sweet treats for the sugar enclined. Definitely worth a stop!

Visited Cafe Harris two days ago. We noticed the new cafe and thought we'd try it out for coffee and a scone - both were delicious. The place was clean and comfortable with very friendly staff. We will be back.Not to take away from the above positive comments just one observation that was noted is that there does not appear to be much for those who follow a vegetarian diet, but then perhaps it's only a matter of asking.

Been here 3 times ..twice for coffee and cake and once for carry out coffee. Excellent coffee every time. Would like skimmed milk option as well as semi skimmed please. Clean attractive surroundings though compact. Also, was surprised that carry out coffee is same price as sit in. But we will return

Wee nice and cosy place. Food is briliant and the coffee is the best in town. 5 star no question about it

My husband and I visited Oban for the first time in a few years. We came across this cafe quite by accident because it's tucked away in what seems a wee corner. We first went in for tea/coffee and cake in the mid morning. Service was excellent and friendly. Cakes delicious. Although not too big the seating was very comfortable. A bright airy atmosphere.We decided, because we were impressed that we'd go back for a late lunch. Again we were not at all disappointed. Delicious freshly prepared food served in a very friendly manner. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to this cafe for a nice experience when visiting Oban. The lady who owned the cafe said it had only been opened for a few weeks. They've made a good start, long may it continue.

Lovely modern cafe setting with cosy sofas and also dining tables and chairs.We enjoyed wonderful coffee....so good we had 2! and enormous tasty fresh scones with jam. The atmosphere was quiet because few people have managed to find the cafe as it is slightly in the shadow of its next door neighbour

Really nice and cozy place. Quick and nice service. Really good choice of really tasty snacks and others.

Tucked away from the harbour front this cafe is worth the find. Very friendly and coffee passionate with a small but good menu. Would visit regularly if I lived here.

very friendly Atmosphere with delicious food and the Best Coffee in Oban. The sponge cake was amazing, and the Owner so lovely, she made our kids feel super cosy and welcome.

Lovely new cafe with a great fresh appeal to it. Too late in the day to have lunch but the menu looked great - plus good reviews received so far that I've read so definitely will be trying it out.Coffee was our tipple for the day and it was good!

Found this little cafe by accident (walking to Tesco), on our last day in Oban. The coffee has a fabulous flavour. We love coffee and are often disappointed but no disappointment here at cafe Harris. We didn’t eat but the food that was served to nearby tables looked very appetising indeed.If you love coffee go to Cafe Harris.

warm friendly atmosphere with exceptional service and outstanding food !! The prawn and salmon Marie rose open sandwich is so good we will definitely be back.

Visited Cafe Harris when we were in Oban. Had a lovely lunch. There is a large choice of dishes on the menu, I went for the panini with bacon, brie and cranberry. It was delicious! The staff is super friendly. Wish them all the best of luck with this new café! When in Oban, go visit!
