What a unexpected gem. Passed it numerous times but the first time today we popped in. So pleased we did, super staff, lovely homemade light lunches, and fabulous cakes and scones on offer. Plus excellent local coffee to top it. Even bought a couple of Christmas presents too. I can certainly recommend (dog friendly too!). We'll definitely be popping in next time we're passing.

Our caravan is based up in oban and we pass the sign for this cafe all the time and always mean to drop in. We did on friday 16th August and weren’t disappointed, staff were friendly, church building beautiful and food amazing. We had the soup and the best fruit scones we have tasted. Will definitely be back

Magic, amazing .... 5*. Whilst quietly driving up the A82 towards Glen Coe, I said to my wife "fancy a coffee", "yes" she replied. As if by magic up popped a roadside sign "Artisan Cafe". Oh yes I thought sceptically. Off we turned & arrived at beautiful church. We stepped inside and stared in amazement. Oh boy, what a fabulous surprise.....and then...we tried the coffee & cake ... WOW. Delicious. You must walk the calories off after to the bridge of Strathfillan ... 5 minutes slow walk ... and the view, great.

Artisan Cafe & Deli is a former deconsecrated church turned into a delightful spot where the food is excellent, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the prices are very low and fair. It’s a little hidden gem nestled in the beautiful Scotland. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is unique and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee. I highly recommend visiting this charming cafe if you find yourself in the area!

What a surprise! Heard via reviews on All Trails that this place existed somewhere along the WHW before getting to Tyndrym but presumed we'd never find it. There's a sign on the trail pointing the way. Well Worth the maybe .5 mile extra to get there. Fantastic treats and food. Wonderful re-use of a church. Sells wonderful local things (like wool). Highly recommend a stop! It brought is a lot of joy near the end of a long walk.

Stopped by for a (very) late lunch at 3.15pm after walking the West Highland Way from Crianlarich. Very glad to find they were still serving food. Excellent quiche with fresh side salads, and tasty home-baked cakes. Beautiful location, we sat outside and enjoyed the company of the inquisitive chickens. Really highly recommended, definitely worth the 3-minute detour off the West Highland Way (& it’s very well signposted for walkers).

What a marvellous find this was. We had just come off Beinn Challuim after a four hour walk, and the cosy Artisan Cafe provided the most perfect end to the day. Fresh tea in bone China and home baking of delicious quality. Add in the delightful, friendly staff, and we couldn’t have been more content ❤️

Having researched this cafe as being dog friendly we decided to visit for lunch. We were very disappointed to see on arrival,on their outside chalk board - no dogs allowed.We were going to leave and actually got back into our car, but then changed our mind and thought we would sit outside. However the tables and grass were wet and it was too cold, so reluctantly we had to choose to leave our dog in the car, which is not something we like to do and if it had been sunny we wouldn't have been able to.Inside there was a good choice of items. We had soup, paninis, scone. Everything was lovely and we really enjoyed our lunch.The only down thing was it was not dog friendly and given the area where alot of people are on holiday, for "staycations" with their pet I think they could be more accommodating.

Close to main road between Crianlarich and Tyndrum. Superb place in old church with lots of tables well spaced out...fantastic stafff who are very friendly and efficient. Superb menu for breakfast , brunch or lunch or just coffee and cake( huge pot of filter coffee)...gluten free choices no problem. have driven past this place literally hundreds of times on the way north to the big mountains. We will not be driving past again... a brilliant hidden gem. Well not so hidden as its only a few metres from the main road.

Away from touristy Tyndrum, this chapel cafe makes a lovely place for a pit stop. But we were frustrated by a long delay... just to pay for two coffees.If any of the staff ever read these reviews, how about considering the option of letting customers pay upfront when ordering, especially if it's something simple like a couple of hot drinks?Even though we just wanted to pay and go after finishing our coffees, I was unlucky to get caught in a queue which included people waiting to be seated, someone asking for complicated directions to avoid a road accident and someone ordering for a group who couldn't decide what takeaway sandwiches they wanted. When I finally got to the till, the card machine wouldn't work. So to pay with cash I had to go out to the car to get the right coins... and then rejoin the queue all over again!Another point worth noting is that the coffee served here is exceptionally strong, with two shots the default dose. Consider asking for a single shot if you're on a long journey and don't have a strong bladder!

Stopped here for lunch after walking in the national park. Had the most incredible food, but my order was wrong so I told the waiter and he took it away and gave me the correct order. My boyfriend was a bit picky about the juice as they said “fresh” juice on the menu but it was from concentrate and he doesn’t like juice from concentrate so he asked to see the bottle of juice before he ordered a drink. I ordered a large juice but received a small one, didn’t say anything about this since they already had to fix my food order and clearly weren’t happy about having to do so, as my plate was basically thrown down in front of me by the waitress onto a table that could barely stay up straight and almost caused our drinks to spill. Went to pay and checked that a small juice was charged rather than a large one, the man at the till didn’t even give me or offer me a copy of my receipt. He took my payment and promptly said “bye bye now!” And turned away in the rudest manner possible, leaving me to add up my items from the menu so make sure it matched what I’d paid. It did, luckily, and I left. Stunning venue, stunning food, just keep your order simple and try not to have any issues otherwise you’ll leave feeling totally sad and deflated like I did and wondering what you did wrong for the next few hours.

Travelling from Edinburgh to Loch Lomond and in need of a break, we came upon Artisan Cafe by chance - and were delighted. In a nicely converted church (with the old manse next door), we had a really good lunch including truly excellent soup. Staff are friendly and welcoming and make good coffee!The only difficulty is finding the place as it's really easy to miss.

One of those joys to stumble over accidentally. The converted chapel is always a bit too cold inside but the warmth is made up by the staff, food offerings, helpfulness and knick-knacks to tempt the cash from your 'Contactless'.I had wonderful spicy soup with GF oatcakes. There was plenty of it and was very satisfying. I resisted the cakes but had a good coffee to finish off.Lots of C19 protection in place. Always flowers around whatever time of year. Be careful of the track when the puddles are full. Oh, and remember where it is.Don't miss it !

We stumbled across this beautiful cafe in the middle of my birthday trip. We had not eaten breakfast and were looking for both food and cake following an exploration of Falls of Falloch.Excellent covid measures in place and plenty of signage and products, even in the bathrooms, to keep you feeling safe.The venue itself is unique, stunning and kept it's original charm whilst still being clearly well maintained. There were chickens roaming outside and lots of lovely little vintage details in the decor. The little shop provided locally sourced edibles and crafts. We bought some jam and my girlfriend bought me a beautiful little pin for my birthday. The food.... Oh my. The only problem here was I wanted a bit of every cake! We both opted for coffee and walnut cake and we're not disappointed. It just looked too perfect to miss and it really was! Excellent balance of sweetness and frosting to compliment the perfect sponge filled with delicious walnut pieces. Highly recommend. The slices were a good size too!We both had toasties which we devoured alongside the yummy kettle style crisps. My only downside is that this place is too far to become my regular haunt!

Came across this cafe between Crianlarich and Tyndum on the A82, it is a converted chapel down a dirt track but is well sign posted! Had a panini/toastie with a side salad and crisps (my partner requires a gluten free diet and they had plenty of gf options including cakes!), It was a little expensive (£16.50 for panini, toastie and two teas) but would still totally recommend!

Most places on the A82 are very busy to get into particularly weekends or bank holidays especially when you can see all the cars parked on the side of the main road. We were lucky to find the Artisan Cafe. We needed to find a stop which would be suitable for dog owners and a quick bite to eat enroute. There are seating outside for ourselves and our dog. All staff has masks on. They catered for my gluten and dairy intolerances and served a nice panini / toasties with a good Scottish blend cup of tea. This may become our regular stir enroute from the mainland to the islands.

I’d definitely plan a stop here again if we’re ever in the area.

We had seen a few reviews of this cafe, which was en route from our base in Oban and our return flight from Glasgow Airport. We decided to stop off for lunch and were SO pleased we did. The old converted church is beautiful, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The staff were all friendly and helpful without fail - and the menu was wide-ranging and varied. The special animal sandwiches/toasties for the younger ones were brilliant - such a simple idea but really well carried out. I enjoyed a combo of a large spicy parsnip soup and a cheese and pickle toastie. The carrot cake was also delicious and highly recommended.We ended up spending about two hours here, for lunch, cake, cups of tea and even bought a book and cardigan for our toddler!Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough...

We stopped off at Artisan Cafe on the off chance of discovering a friendly, independent, charming, interesting place with tasty food at a very fair price. We were not disappointed!The service was informal and friendly, the kids food and drinks were healthy and surprisingly fair priced, all the food including the home-made cakes were tasty, and the coffee was clearly selected by someone who has an idea of what good coffee should taste like. We will return, and this delightful converted chapel deserves your business!Thank you Artisan Cafe for a great start to our Highland holiday.

The Artisan Cafe south of Tyndrum is a beautiful old church, small and characterful, and the greeting there is second to none. It has such a nice atmosphere and its customers receive the warmth of welcome typically found on entering a family home. Drinks and home baking are fresh and so delicious and the varied menu should easily satisfy any dietary needs and heartier appetites from breakfast through to lunch and beyond. There’s also a nice selection of quality crafts, cards and gifts for easy browsing (and very tempting indeed!). A quick note of caution for drivers of camper vans and motor homes - the cafe is at the end of a short section of narrow single track road with, for larger vehicles, a very tight reverse into its turning space. For me, the quiet and cosy Artisan Cafe with its warm, friendly and attentive staff, and inaccessible to tourist coaches, is a delightful alternative to the busy commercialism of nearby Tyndrum. I travel through the area regularly and now I’ve discovered it wouldn’t stop anywhere else!

To be fair, they do say this themselves, so I won’t comment on the decor, leaning as it does towards a shabby-chic aesthetic but without any real originality. I am more concerned with the rather pedestrian menu. The usual selection of toasties and panini, quiche and pate. We stopped for lunch, but, untempted, we settled for scones and coffee. Delicious scones, it must be said, with just enough butter and jam- a little more would have been welcome. The “crafts” on display were the same-old, same-old that you can buy anywhere. It is November, so not exactly the height of the tourist season (although three tables were busy with lunches), there’s plenty of time for this place to get its act together before next spring: it’s heading in the right direction, but has a way to go to make it a “must” stop.

Wonderful cafe to have a meal or a snack on your way to the Highlands. Just off the main road in a former chapel, it was a delight. Friendly people, great service and would recommend the delicious homemade chicken broth with chunky bread or cheese scone and butter, unfortunately we were too full to try the lovely cakes. Enjoyed looking at the local crafts and plan to go back as soon as possible to buy some pictures that caught my eye..... and to taste the broth again.

On our way to the annual Royal National Mòd in Dunoon this year, the ever-helpful Google maps suggested an alternative route to avoid the A83 where there had been a landslide. We were in need of a break on our drive down beautiful landscapes, but unfamiliar roads. The signs were low on the left hand side of the road, but in plenty time to make sure we could pull in to the converted church. I took a photo which looks exactly like the view someone else has taken, so it is clearly a popular choice of venue with a very relaxed atmosphere. We only had coffee and a fine piece and it was lovely. There was a varied and very healthy menu. There were also lovely wee craft things and pictures created by local artists out of felt, or embroidery, so we could easily have spent more time there than we did. It is also quite accessible as the door leads straight in to the cafe. Staff were very friendly and helpful - I was beginning to wonder if we were on the best road. They assured us we were! Worth discovering, worth taking the long road round for.

Our lentil soups and our mains – cheese and pickle toastie , couscous salad - were great, as were the herbal tea (recommend the Scots Flower Tea) and coffee.

We stumbled across this beautiful little cafe by accident and I am so glad we did. A warm welcome and lovely home cooked food. A sanctuary from the usual busy, noisy cafes full of laptops. Perfect!

Quaint wee place, nice carrot cake and home made brownies and service was fine.

Situated in a converted church, this is a charming and delightful little cafe. It is in the middle of nowhere, so you would need to be passing or deliberately driving out here. There are signs which are easy enough to see if you're looking for them, but could be easily missed if not. The drive way is long and wide to allow for parking. There are three steps leading in, which might be an issue for those in wheelchairs or mobility issues, but they may be able to work around this. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We were only here for coffee and cake, but these were of incredible standard. I will think about that scone for some time!

Cold damp day, brightened up by a visit to this hidden treasure. Warm welcome, great food, luxurious hot chocolate drinks and a lovely church building that has been converted into a fantastic cafe. Well worth a visit. Scenery outside is great too.

Es handelt sich bei diesem Café um eine alte Kirche die zu neuem Zweck umgebaut wurde.

We enjoyed a perfect cup of coffee, scone and walnut cake here. The jam was obviously home made and the decaf cafetière very welcome. We would definitely recommend stopping.

Found the Artisan Cafe almost by accident. What a wee hidden gem. Staff were friendly and helpful. The coffee was terrific and if i try and describe how much i enjoyed my fruit scone we will be here all day, and i'll run out of adjectives. Can't recommend this enough. On another note: I don't understand the poor reviews here. Fancy the owner not wanting some hillwalkers to park in their limited parking facilities and use a space for 3 maybe 4 hours. Tut tut. Oh hang on......someone is being inconsiderate and selfish. Shhh, i'll give you a clue....it's not the owner ;-)

We were staying with a friend who took us here for morning coffee and what a great place to visit. The staff were lovely, the cakes delicious and all in all a friendly, quirky cafe. My husband was very pleased I had no room in my suitcase to take home any of the crafts on display. We had a great time here.

A perfect cafe that serves delicious cakes and coffee in a restored church. Highly recommend a stop for coffee or light lunch!

On the face of it you might question what lies within but I would urge you to get out of your car & go in.

We stopped hear for a snack on our way up to Oban. Roughly half way from Glasgow so ideal. There was a nice selection of soups, sandwiches, toastie e.t.c I had the onion soup which was delicious. The woman who served us couldn't have been nicer, she showed a genuine interest in what we were doing. We came out really happy that we had visited. Next time we are passing we will definitely stop off hear again. Highly recommended.

Me and my family went there by chance, thinking it would be a "tyipical" road restaurant. Instead we found a lovely familiar restaurant (inside an ancient remodeled church!). The staff is super nice, the food is delicious and cheap. They have a lot of vegetarian options. Besides, the place is decorated really well and it provides a cozy atmosphere. I would totally recommend!

Cherchant un lieu pour une halte déjeuner, nous avons vu que ce café était bien noté, et quelle ne fut pas notre surprise de découvrir une ancienne église réaménagée en lieu de vente d'artisanat et en café-restaurant. Des produits frais et de qualité qui nous ont beaucoup plus, à des prix raisonnables, un cadre unique, bel endroit pour un arrêt !

I spent a day up in Fort William, Glencoe etc taking landscape pictures April 2017. On the way home it was dark but saw the lights on this beautiful wee building from the roadside and went to investigate. Glad I did as I got some cracking night sky shots from the grounds on a very clear night and some lovely images of the cafe/church. Haven't been back up that way during the day to sample the cafe's delights but will definitely be paying them a visit when i do

What an oasis ! In the middle of the most wild and gorgeous mountain scenery along the Glencoe road (A82) here is a beautifully renovated small church that has become a lovely warm cafe. Espresso was excellent; the highlight was the fabulous baked goods - coffee/walnut cake and carrot cake was out of this world! Worth a detour from far away even if Glencoe itself wasn’t breathtaking enough!!!

Este café está situado en un entorno precioso y el café es luminoso y espacioso. El personal era muy agradable, pero cuando miré el menú estaba un poco desalentados por los precios que están por encima de la media de café/restaurante experiencia. Este no es el lugar para ir de una sandwichera. . El menú es algo más complejo que la media tarifa. Yo tenía un plato de sopa, que cuesta un fiver. Bien, estaba muy bien, pero aún así era bastante caro. Sospecho que el establecimiento está tratando de efectivo en su ubicación. Aunque puede ser impresionante, no creo que justifique el precio.

While wandering through Aberfoyle came across this little butchers. Glad we did, the Roll and sausage/ black pudding doubler was amazing, great value for £5 my son had the Steak roll also delicious. No hesitation in recommending this establishment. A wee day out, you have to pop in.

Excellent anniversary lunch. All of the dishes were delicious, friendly attentive staff and good value for the quality of the food. Burrata, chilli prawns to start, followed by market fish (hake - delicious) and salmon and lobster sauce pasta. Affogato and mint ice cream and chocolate choux bun to finish.

Stopped here on our way to Fort William and enjoyed it so much stopped here again on the way back. Food was superb, probably the best smoked Salmon I have tasted and the gentleman who served us was very jovial and made us feel very welcome. If you’re passing definitely worth stopping even just for a coffee and cake.
