Cafe Shore in Argyll & Bute

Good grief ...... not one member of staff cracked one smile. Rude, belligerent, unhelpful. Cracking eggs is an art, so is cracking a smile ... work elsewhere ladies as you are clearly not happy in your work. Food .. mediocre.

My hubby and I recently had a lovely lunch at Cafe Shore whilst on an excursion with Caledonian travel. Staff where super friendly and great service. We both had the soup and panini deal. I had the curried parsnip soup with a ham, brie and cranberry panini. Hubby had chicken and rice soup and a haggis and cheese panini. The food was fantastic 😋.

So, this is just right next to/around the corner from Costa coffee, but far superior!! And their baked goods are to die for. I had some raspberry coconut cake, and now I think I'm in love with a dessert... Coffee is delicious too!

Wat een verrassing, toch maar even vragen of zij misschien een glutenvrije cake of taartje hebben en wat blijkt, keuze uit meerdere soorten glutenvrije cake/taartjes, ondenkbaar in Nederland, hier wordt ik gelukkig van.

Great location, excellent service. Delicious toasties. Lovely soup. Would highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Excellent soup .lovely staff.Thank you

Excellent food and service. The pastries were worthy of a French patisserie. It was very good value too. I particularly like the side salad and dressing.

Pleasant surroundings in an old world way. Food is very nice along with a wide assortment of drinks.

We went to Cafe Shore twice, for both a coffee and a coffee and cake. We dat inside and outside in the sun. the second time we had sandwiches made for our train journey home. great and friendly service,

A very good place for bf and lunch and and Take out

A breakfast pit stop on the way to a castle. Not the best Scottish breakfast I have ever had, but it was filling. Nice place, very busy when we visited, attentive staff. I don't think what I had was their best meal on offer .

Just tea n scones but passed this a few times looking for somewhere to eat so it was drink n deserts for us,wish I'd of just gone in , nice little cafe

Always go here whenever I'm in Oban as I love it

Loved it the scones were delicious and as for the carrot cake well oh my oh my mmmmmm!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere

Went here for breakfast Saturday morning. Great selection of dishes, including incredibly good porridge. Very reasonably priced.

Always enjoyed the soups and sandwiches I've had here. The portions are a good size and sandwiches have came with salad and few crisps on the side. Good thick brown loaf and not shy on the filling, at least when I had the hummus salad sandwich. A large selection of sweet dessert options too.

The girl at the counter was rude. The Tattie scone was like rubber and the sausage was terrible. Very disappointing

We came across this place by accident and were very impressed, good food, friendly service, cheap prices. We ended up coming in every day while we were in Oban, and would definitely return if we were back in town.

Finished up having a full English breakfast which was not a English breakfast it was Scottish breakfast. I thought I was getting English breakfast tea and then having too paying for my tea.I told ordered a English breakfast they were reluctant to help regarding the bagel so I could take it away.

Really good barrista cafe and fresh made cakes.

Good lunch at a reasonable price.

Terrible coffee don't waste your time. The coffee shop is also very hot inside.

Great little café, nice food and friendly staff. well worth a visit. The Victoria sponge was amazing.

Had coffee and cake, it was lovely. Dog friendly.

I wouldn't really recommend this place. Some of the staff work there against their will. The food was just... Plus points.. Fast operation.

Beautiful little cafe and amazing food

Service from Suzy was wonderful !! Food is so over priced not bad just spenny for what it’s worth this is no reflection of Suzy tho she was amazing.

Very popular and cosy, lovely home made fruit scones and happy friendly staff

Just had the most delicious home made soup. Didn't need to season. Tasted wonderful. Lovely service and pleasant waiting on staff . Worth a visit.

Ordered cappuccino and americano (4) along with roll, egg, bacon (3); toast and jam (2), jam from packets put in small dish, and croissant with butter (2). Just ok, many better places, definitely cheap prices, get what you pay for

Great coffee & breakfast take away during our vacation in Oban. Very quick and everything was delicious. Would recommend!

Amazing scone and coffee. Best in the Town if you ask me. And faster than Next Door. And the staff are friendly helpful and very happy x

Great value for money. Best scones to date. Scored a 9 out of 10 on the sconometer. One plain and one fruit. Coffee was the right strength and staff were very friendly.

We always visit this cafe when we are in Oban. The staff is friendly, cakes and sweets are good. The price/performance ratio is also great. What irritated me a bit today, however, was that the entire staff greeted a gentleman with a dog that everyone obviously knew well and the dog, a boxer, jumped up on everyone and was petted by everyone. I found it repulsive that you then went back into the kitchen and behind the counter, especially since I'm not sure whether your hands were washed afterwards. I don't know if I'll go there again next time.

Really good coffee house, food and drink really reasonably priced and staff very friendly and helpful 👌

Best porridge l have ever had my daughter had the smoked salmon delicious. Next time in Oban we will certainly be visiting cafe shore, lovely pleasant welcome by all the staff.

Coffee and cakes excellent as usual 👌

If I’m paying £10 for a breakfast, I expect a masterpiece. What I got, was below average. My partner got a roll and sausage which was 80% roll and 20% sausage. In summary, if it was half the price, it would be worth it. Save you money and go to the Premier Inn for all you can eat.

Found this lovely Coffee shop. Welcome smile, clean and very nice interior. . Full menu of coffees shakes and tea. Had the most amazing Mushroom soup. Deffo worth a visit

Decided not to give us our order due to them charging us £20 for a meal that they put the ticket for in their served pile

Cute cafe, the food really tasted great. :) However, my toast (which looked really great) was completely hidden under the topping - so it was really black. You didn't taste it strongly, but roasted aromas aren't always a plus... Otherwise really nice employees and dogs are also very welcome here.

First time here, & we were pleasantly surprised. The food & drink is a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Coffee and carrot cake - the carrot cake had too much icing.

During our travels of Scotland we visited Cafe Shore. There seemed to be lots of, what looked like, locals; which is always a good sign! We walked in and were greeted pleasantly and efficiently. After a browse of the menu we both landed on the Scottish Breakfast however both having a dislike of Black Pudding we subbed out for an extra egg instead - this was no issue. Food and drinks came out promptly and hot and both tasted fantastic! Very pleased, if we visit Oban again we will definitely return!

Staff friendly and welcoming. Lovely coffee and cakes . Sandwiches are pretty good too Takeaway service Dog friendly which is a bonus.

Really nice cafe with amazing toasties and good coffee

Would never return here with the RUDNESS of the staff. Never been treated by the RUDE girl and gentleman working there in my life

My girlfriend and I live in Mull and we do our shopping in oban with the aid of a trolley. Just as we were passing by café Shore our trolley wheel breaks off! We were in hurry to catch our ferry and had 4 heavy crates to carry to the ferry terminal, so I ask the lad in the café who was cleaning the floor if I could leave some crates there whilst I brought them to the terminal. This lad offered to help and brought 2 crates all the way to the ferry terminal, just in time to catch the cancelled 15:55 ferry... What a service!

Had a lovely brunch here whilst visiting Oban. Great service, spotlessly clean & good choices of quality food from the menu.

Supeb Soup and Toastie. Polite, Fast clean and efficient staff. .Very tasty. Aand reasonably priced,.just what you need on driech day

Much to my disappointment, the hot chocolate was not amazing. While the cream was of admirable quality and clearly applied with practiced technique, the marshmallows were needlessly chewy and of a strange, granulated texture, followed by the consistency. Unfortunately, it was woefully unpleasant, the beverage being far too thick to the point that all chocolate flavour was drowned out, reducing it to a thick sludge, making me unable to entirely finish the drink. The temperature was to a respectable standard however. A real heartache as the venue and staff were lovely. 1/10

It would be nice to update Google on the opening hours !!!! This cafe is Closed until January 26th 2024

I just love to eat there. I just feel very comfortable there and it's the first Cafe I walked into on my very first day in Oban

Friendly staff, generous portions, food quite acceptable. 😋

We visit Cafe Shore regularly & are happy with what we get at any time of the day.Today was disappointing, tepid lentil soup that appeared to have no substance to it.Normally the soup is delicious.Had a nice baguette, coffee & cake.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Just had a breakfast roll. It was honestly the worst sausage ever. Our order arrived within 30 seconds so obviously pre cooked. Could hardly get my teeth into it. £11 for 2 rolls n sausage and 2 cup’s of tea. Absolute rip off for horrible food. Don’t waste your money

Lovely friendly place, excellent food. Allows dogs, the cakes are beautiful! Always a friendly greeting, the menu is great.

This is lovely independent cafe with good range of breakfast and lunch options.

They were very busy for brunch - long line! - so we decide to come back just after 3:00pm for late lunch - as they close at 4:00pm. Bad idea! The staff seemed exhausted with not a smile in sight. They started cleaning and closing up just as we sat down. By the time we left at 4:00pm, many of the tables already had the chairs on top. We had soup and sandwiches. The food was average. Request for Tabasco or any other hot sauce resulted in us being given salt & pepper! We felt rushed so skipped dessert. Recommendation: Go for breakfast, not late lunch!

Came here for breakfast. My wife and I had the full scottish breakfast with a latte. It was very well cooked and the qualityof the food was great. Also a very generous portion. Friendly and quick service also. Would definitely recommend and I will most certainly return next time in Oban.

Mid afternoon stop on way home Quiet but clean tidy and incredibly friendly team working there Great tasting food and fresh made by honest hard working everyday people who just want to earn their wage…very well worth a visit …..

Fantastic full Scottish breakfast, really quick on the service despite me walking in as they opened. Real lovely staff and great food.

My partner and I popped into the cafe the other day while visiting Oban on a 4-day weekend in Scotland although it is small the cafe is clean and tidy in fact whilst waiting to be seated a member of staff cleaned the table we were to be using all the staff we're friendly and helpful I can not praise them enough if I am in the area again I would not hesitate to use it again

We went to Cafe Shore for breakfast, the food was hot and tasty, staff very pleasant and polite. We liked it so much we went back the next morning! It’s very busy so go early, we loved the vibe of the early morning hustle and bustle, it kind of set us up for the day as well as the food. Delightful.

Visited for breakfast during our stay in Oban. Good quick service. Good food and good prices. Recommend to visit when in Oban.

Decent priced food and amazing coffee, well worth a stop if your in the area 👍

Spotlessly clean, good varied menu to suit everyone, large selection of cakes freshly made, quick efficient service. Excellent service by friendly and courteous staff

Great staff and superb range of homemade tray bakes and scones,our breakfast was cooked quickly and was delicious

As if I needed another reason to love Oban? 😍😍😍 Next time I return to your beautiful town you will have my business every day. Thank you for supporting CASH 💰💰💰 👏👏👏 I am a regular at the Corryvreckan whenever I am in town, but you will have ALL my business going forward so long as you support CASH and FREEDOM. See you soon 💕💕💕

Lovely and varied menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Great spot in town!

Thoroughly enjoyed food service and atmosphere!! Happily recommend to folks!!!

This is a lovely little cafe where we had a lovely lunch of toasties, coffee & cake! Selection of homemade cakes were great & made it difficult to choose! Great value for money! Staff were lovely & friendly. We even went back for breakfast before heading home today! Highly recommend!

we were very happy to be able to get a seat in this very busy cafe in oban, our service provided was outstanding and the food we were served was top quality. Staff were very friendly and the girl making the coffees was very cheerful. We were sat near to the door and over heard some rude customers but it was handled extremely well by the manager, keep going guys you are doing an amazing job !! Cant wait to come back for more cake ❤️

I'm a regular visitor, and I'm one of those for multiple reasons. Great food, drinks, and service. I've been visiting this lovely cafe for the past 3 years on a usually weekly and at times even twice daily basis while working in Oban. Every visit is a pleasure. The food is yummy, coffee and shakes are tasty, and the service is great. The toasties are particularly good and the cake selection is fabulous, there's definitely something for everyone.

We attempted to eat here on two occasions yesterday afternoon. On the first occasion, we waited for about 5 minutes and were ignored by all staff. We went to do some shopping elsewhere and thought we'd try again later. When we came back, we stood for another 10 minutes while the queue was out the door; this in turn caused issues for the server as everyone was then in their way. As we were once again ignored by staff upon our return - with the exception of being asked to move multiple times so he could get in and out of the building while another 3 members of staff looked on from behind the counter as they stood talking amongst themselves - a table of 2, who had been sitting at a table for 4, left. As we were at the front of the queue and were with an elderly friend who was in need of a seat, we sat down. This was met with abuse from the male waiter out front who proceeded to shout at us in front of fellow customers and staff. No other staff intervened even though a number of people in the queue turned and left while other customers already seated looked on in surprise. As locals, we try and support our local cafes however, manners cost nothing. In this day and age, particularly in a hospitality setting, customer service is a crucial part of the job description. We have been in a handful of times before and were reasonably pleased with the service we received but on this occasion we were sorely disappointed.

How fantastic to find a great independent cafe which serves perfect lunch food. We had toasties which were priced really reasonably and came with coleslaw, crisps and salad. Coffee was delicious and the service was so friendly and welcoming. It was so good that we...

This is a very nice local café. They serve a variety of delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches. The service is very friendly.

Great filling breakfast and dog friendly too! Scottish breakfast and Veggie breakfast both very good

Popular local cafe with nice home-made soups, generously filled baked potatoes and other items pleasurably to fill a lunchtime hole, or provide a satisfying snack. Situated in a former bank right in the centre of town near the station and the railway pier.
