Unfortunately no gluten free left at the time of our visit. Staff were very helpful , we purchased coffee's to take out side to view Castle Stalker to take photos- which I've done many times on our many many trips to the West Highlands over the last 43 years.A great view point!!

Absolutely gorgeous views and, without a shadow of a doubt (I spend a lot of time in coffee shops and cafés), no the best scones and genuinely proper coffee (inc. Flat Whites) in Scotland.It was so good I went their twice.The staff were excellent.

What a lovely little place! Looks very unassuming from the roadside. We only stopped as we saw the castle on the water and pulled in to get some photographs, then saw the cafe and thought we would pop in for drinks, we ended up having breakfast.Nice open space with great views, small gift shop area and a great menu. Service was good and staff friendly. We had scrambled egg on toast, slightly expensive for what it was, but nice. A sausage barm, tea for two and it was around £14. It was really quiet when we went in, but minutes later it was full! Obviously a popular little venue. Nice little walk down to view the castle too. Worth a visit.

We are never disappointed by the warm and genuine welcome we receive at Castle Stalker View. The coffee is delicious and a good range of cakes are all home made and baked to perfection, the meringues are particularly fantastic. Covid measures are in place without being too intrusive, so it is still possible to have a relaxed break in this crazy world! There is also a lovely gift shop at the entrance to browse Scottish wares. What more could you ask for?

My favourite place in Oban & the surrounding areas for lunch and coffee. The girls always go above and beyond to provide the best service possible and can never do enough to help. The burgers are amazing, you can tell the quality of ingredients and effort that go in to making them - nice to get a burger that isn’t just a standard bought-in patty like the majority of places seem to serve.Such a beautiful setting, with lovely accommodating staff who are doing incredibly well at keeping customers feeling safe & comfortable in these tough times.

Arrived one minute past 3.30 pm to be told the oven has been turned off at 3.30 . We pointed out it was one minute past and they were opened till 4 pm. Still insisted they couldn’t offer us any warm food. They then proceeded to empty the food on display from the cabinet as they said it needed warming up. Thus making our choices less and less. The whole unfriendly manner we were met with made us decide to leave .Thankfully we received a delightful welcome further down the road and a delicious memorable meal with staff that were incredibly helpful.

I am seldom urged to write an immediate review but today’s breakfast/ brunch at the Castle Stalker View cafe caused me to make an exception. We are staying in the area and the cafe had been recommended to us. I am so glad that we decided to take up the recommendation. The food was fabulous and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We haven’t eaten out much since lockdown but the cafe felt COVID safe. The food was delicious, all home made! I don’t doubt that we will be back! The weather was unkind but even in poor weather the view was superb! A fabulous bite to eat in the area!

I visit Appin often for the GLORIOUS Lochlaich garden centre, who farms out some plants to the cafe too!, But today I went specifically to the gift shop on a special t-shirt hunt for an American friend whose trip has been postponed by the dreaded covid restrictions. I bought one there last month when I was on holiday returning from Inverary. I found a large selection of varieties sizes and colors, but was also pleasantly suprised at a lot of the higher end "twist" on Scottish souvenieers, many handmade items, loads of local artists prints and handmade clothing, with the usual gamut of clan "accessories". But what made my visit today extra special was the nice and helpful lady at the counter... she was more than helpful finding me a t-shirt for my friend, and was happy to share her travel experiences with me... I should have asked her name because she was LOVELY!

Were on holiday in Oban and decided to have a trip up to the cafe to view Castle Stalker and have a light lunch. Nice gift shop as well as nice food at reasonable prices. Social distancing was observed with staff wreaking face masks and hand sanitisers available so they seemed to operating within the rules. Certainly worth a visit to enjoy the view and Good to see there was an information panel about the castle. The only downside was that I was expecting to able to walk down the slope towards the path on the shore to get nearer the castle and was disappointed that it seemed to be overgrown and steep and was not really sure if there was actually a path or not past the viewpoint.

We had stopped at the cafe once before but only to take in the view. This time we were lucky enough that the sun was shining and there was a free table outside. They are strict about mask wearing and social distancing and made sure to take contact details as required. We had the soup and ciabatta combos which were delicious. The staff were friendly too and happy to have a chat. Definitely worth a stop if you're lucky enough to get a table.

This was our first family lunch in a venue since the easing of restrictions. Given this was the first dining experience out with our homes, we weren’t really sure what to expect from eating out, we just knew it would be substantially different from previously. The team at Castle Stalker View have done a great job of making the premises safe and reassuring for all customers. We enjoyed a light lunch and teas and coffees (the home baking is delicious!). The staff were so friendly and welcoming and it was clear they had gone above and beyond to carefully consider and implement measures to ensure staff and customers’ safety in these strange times. We will definitely be back when we next visit Appin. Thanks and well done!

An excellent vantage point for Castle Stalker, particularly on a clear day. Plenty of parking spaces and a footpath down the hill, although we were unable to get past due to various broken branches and fallen trees. The gift shop and art work are worth viewing. The food choice is great and whilst we only had coffee and a scone, the scone was freshly made. We did see the food being served to other customers and it looked amazing. Definitely worth a stop off.

Made a special trip from Onich as we’d read good reviews of the cafe and we wanted to take a look at the castle and surroundings. The cafe is in a fabulous location on the loch With great views of Castle stalker. I had a wander down the bank (is there an easier way?) and eventually got to the shore to take a few pics of the castle. Was also lucky to have great views of an Otter for about 20 minutes with lots of other interesting wildlife. Back to the cafe and myself and the wife had a cream tea. The scones were lovely, staff friendly and the general feel of the cafe was warm and cosy. The cafe is dog friendly and our Border Collie had a well deserved rest in the cafe. Also a nice little gift shop attached to the cafe area. Definitely recommend a visit.

We always visit this cafe for a perfectly brewed coffee, and scone with jam and cream, as a mid morning treat when on our way to Oban. The service is invariably friendly and impeccable, and the scones consistently good. Today we pushed the boat out and had the breakfast stack! Delicious! You might think bacon, free range egg, sausage, black pudding, potato scone and special brown toasted bread would be run of the mill - but not a bit of it. This was perfectly cooked with great quality ingredients, and great value! We'll be spoilt for choice in future! Thank you!

Came across this place by chance having had to vacate our B&B; which did not serve breakfast so was on the look out for somewhere on our way out of Oban, so glad we stopped. Had to sit in the car park for 15 minutes as it did not open till 9.30. Didn't realise at first it was a beautiful place to stop as it was raining quite heavily but kept seeing people with cameras disappearing through the gate and then when we investigated, the views were amazing. The café was quite upmarket and a bit on the expensive side but was very nice indeed.

Returned to the area for a break after a two year absence and delighted at the changes to this ‘Cafe with a view’. Only had coffee on this occasion but it was very good indeed. The cakes looked gorgeous and we noted from the menu that meat comes from the renowned Scottish butchers ‘Ramsays of Carluke’. We regularly order from Ramsays having tasted the fab black pud (the best according to Nick Nairn) and bacon at the Good Food Show - so we know the breakfasts here must be good too!

Fresh, locally sourced food. Good value. Fantastic view (Castle Stalker will be familiar to "Monty Pyhton" fans as "Castle Aaargh!" in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"). Small gift shop selling a range of souvenirs including some work by local artists.

Great little cafe and gift shop. Amazing views of Castle Stalker, warm with a friendly service. Bacon roll went down a treat! But the view.....!

I visit this place every year with my wife and have even arranged for my bike club to motor up last year from England. The calling is the cheese scones...unbelievable!! The staff appear to always be the same (no idea where thew dog is) particularly a young lady on the till with a pony tail and glasses...so friendly, helpful and a credit to the cafe (I should after all this time know her name) she even wrote down the recipe for said scones. Visited on 2/11 and it made my year.

We discovered this cafe last year and made a special trip to revisit again today as we were so impressed. It's a real find, with stunning views from the picture windows to Castle Stalker and across the loch.

Fabulous views of Stalker Castle, great homemade soup with crusty bread and to die for apple pie and cream. A little gift shop attached, well worth a visit on your travels.

Poppies Garden Centre & Tea Roomlocation-iconSaulmore Shore By ConnelScottish

The actual garden centre was lovely! But when it came to the cafe, I have to say I was SHOCKED!! The young lady who greeted us was very rude and dismissive, it felt like we were an inconvenience to her! And as for the food, the chicken was drier than the desert and ruined my whole meal- the chips which were an added extra (£1) meant that I had 5 chips on my plate. Will NOT be back 🤬

I went for a late lunch while waiting for a bus and liked the place. Welcoming and friendly staff, nice menu, great location by the shore, reasonable prices.As I was not very hungry I only had the Scottish Breakfast (lots of meat) and it was good and tasty hence the 'average' evaluation.Should I ever be in Dunoon again I'll go back to try more.
