Crafts & Things Coffee Shop in Highland

Ordered three jacket potatoes. One with tuna was just about acceptable but the two with beans and cheese were awful. Small spoonful of beans, sprinkling of tasteless cheese, no salt on the potatoes anywhere and they were microwaved. Rip off

The coffee was good and the food was tasty and filling. The bookstore was fun to peruse. We stopped here after our visit to the Glencoe Visitor and some of us walked back to Ballachullish after lunch.

Stopped on the way North. Good quality, fresh food made to order. Good value. Great homemade scones. Place is a bit dated and cold, they should stick a wood burner in a corner. They have the same kind of young, uninterested staff you get in anywhere like it in the UK, but we spoke to some lovely older staff too that balanced that out. Your granny would love it there.

Lovely little cafe, cosy and homely. Fab food and great coffee. But you really need to have the hot chocolate with everything on it....... Man it was fab,

In un giorno di forte pioggia siamo stati invitati ad entrare per ripararci, ma non dal personale bensì da un cliente, molto gentile, che ha visto il nostro camminare lungo la strada principale. Alle più semplici domande si ottenevano risposte frettolose e con sufficienza da parte dei camerieri.

This was receommended by a member of staff in a nearby restaurant as a pleace he preferred to eat at. It did not disappoint, we had tea and scones with home made jam.

So disappointed with this café. The table was dirty, the staff were sullen, even before I asked them to clean the table. Service was so slow .... 25mins for a bowl of soup and an egg mayo sandwich AFTER I ordered. The sandwich was two slices of dry bread with a dollop of tasteless egg mayo in the middle. Soup portion was literally half a cup. When food arrived it was just put on the table and I was told to go and get my cutlery myself. Couldn't face the wait for a coffee so left. Embarrassing to be there and see foreign tourists being served such bad food in such a bad way!

Roll on sausage take away £3.90 Roll s not buttered . Onions not fried raw! Nice cafe I used to go to regular prices sadly inflated .

Great place for a light meal or coffee. Good value food - nicely prepared by friendly staff. The craft shop is also excellent for tourist items.

Warm, friendly service in coffee shop. Scones delicious and tasty coffee. Excellent gift shop with good choice of products, none of usual tat you sometimes find in gift shops. Girl working in shop was lovely

We had passed by this shop for years & we finally got to go in & I'm so pleased that we did. The lady behind the counter was really friendly & helpful & I was searching for birthday presents for 2 friends which I found. An amazing choice of gifts all at reasonable prices. We visited the cafe too which we also enjoyed

A grand place to pull in for a basic soup and sandwich. Canteen style dining, you have to order at the counter. Basic food and service, premises dated.

Nous sommes arrivés 15 minutes avant la fermeture et le personnel nous a bien fait sentir que le restaurant/café fermerait à 17h et pas une seconde de plus sans faire le moindre d'effort. Nous avons tout de même pris une boisson chaude et une pâtisserie et nous n'avons pas profité car nous regardions notre montre. C'est dommage car le salon est cosy et agréable... Mauvais accueil, je vous le précise!

Stopped for a coffee with friends. Asked the server for 2 lattes one plain one vanilla one flat white. 3 coffees looked identical. I asked politely what one was the vanilla I was presented with a grunt and a shrug of the shoulders saying your guess is as good as mine. With service like that I wouldn’t recommend it.

Assez décevant : tout est excessivement cher par rapport à la quantité servie. Le morceau de quiche à 10£ est ridicule.. c’est vraiment de l’abus. Le gout n’y est pas non plus. Les desserts sont bons (mais toujours trop sucrés comme c’est la coutume avec nos amis les anglais). Le bagel au saumon est bon mais cher pour ce que c’est .. je ne vous recommande pas ce plat non plus.

Great little café with lots of food and drink options. The shop that is attached is also really nice. Different types of jewelry, scarves, souvenirs, that you might want to take back. Lovely service as always. Would recommend getting snacks and drinks before driving to Glen Etive.

Auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant mit veganen Speisen sind wir auf dieses getroffen. Es gab mehrere Sachen, aber wir entschieden uns beide für eine Baked Potato, einmal mit veganem Käse und einmal mit Baked Beans. Beides schmeckte ganz gut. Service war super, Toiletten sauber, Einrichtung schön, Parkplatz vorhanden...

This was easily the most disappointing breakfast we've had in a long time. Not in line with contemporary expectations - we had the full breakfast which was edible just about, and the staff were indifferent. This really is not good enough for a main tourist destination.

Been before and seemed OK, but just pretty average today. Maybe I picked bad options. The lentil soup had a weird tang to it, old onions or something. I hoped the sweet chilli ciabatta might be more than the ingredients list, but it was literally a ciabatta with pretty plain chilli chicken. I guess it's what it said it would be. None of it was bad enough to complain / send back - just wish wee cafés like this could up their game a bit!

Excellent home made soup and toasties as always . Friendly , efficient staff . I always enjoy the shop and gallery

The location is very nice and it is located in the Highlands. I have to eat gluten free and in this case there weren't many options.. I had to take a baked potato (it was good but a bit difficult to eat) and a hot...

After walking the Glenachulish loop in the pouring rain we were hoping this wee gem would be open. What a delight to find that it was. I opted for a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon served with salad. Hubbie had the leek and...

Been visiting for a couple of years now. All of a sudden it’s “order everything at the counter”. Why?? What happened to table service? You order at the till, sit down, eat your average breakfast, go back to order more coffee, sit down, go back...

Good straightforward food served by friendly staff and competitively priced. Good range on the menu. Clean and tidy with staff being quick to clean tables once people moved on. Parking across the road good. The gift shop is also a nice addition - combine souvenir...

Pause repas parfaite sur la route. Un choix de sandwichs, de café, de desserts. Des produits de qualité. Parfait pour...

Whilst it was a lovely day 2/6/22, we thought to have coffee and cake here. The cakes were clearly home baked and delicious. Unfortunatley the counter staff looked thoroughly miserable and one made a 'eyeroll face' when asked for skinny flat white, not sure if...

Very disappointed. Having searched on-line for gluten free places to eat, Crafts & things consistently gets a high rating so we travelled specifically to have lunch there. One pre-wrapped gluten free chocolate brownie was all there was on offer. We just had a cuppa and...

My wife and I stopped here recently and had a very nice lunch indeed. The service was extremely friendly and the food served was very tasty.

Went here for a quick stop of a cold drink and got a very generous slice of chocolate cake. The cake was tasty and not too sweet. Overall, a good place for a quick stop for coffee and cake. Nothing fancy.

So crowded and busy. Didn’t inspire covid safety although a door by the counter was part open, staff wore masks and tables cleaned between customers. Food arrived fairly quickly, although queuing to place order was slow. Decent soups of the day, but a bit cool....

This was such a find in Glencoe. We were driving the scenic route home to Wales and looked at a few cafes, it was stormy so all were busy. This was so beautifully decorated with local art and books for sale, a lovely atmosphere I...

Great snacks and atmosphere on a soaking wet day Busy and bustling with great fare all reasonably priced Took a break from road trip and lived this unpretentious establishment Tea and scone delicioys as was tonato soup with a proper crusty rill

Lovely little place for a quick pit stop on the way back from the isle of skye. Traditional Scottish stone building with plenty of character and lots of lovely paintings for sale. Very ymmy Moroccan Spiced soup and reasonably priced. Pleasant friendly staff and nice...

The tomato soup is the best I have tasted in a long time. Hot soup on a rainy day. On holiday break and loving the local area Dr Kam

Visited while in the Glencoe area.Well run cafe and craft shop ideal spot for breakfast.The staff were very friendly and even gave us advice on places to see. Especially enjoyed our bacon roll !

We visited Crafts and Things a few times during our recent trip to Glencoe and on the whole, we enjoyed it. The menu is extensive but there were no gluten free options at all so my mum went hungry. I was also a little disappointed...

Was staying nearby with family and friends and stopped in for some lunch. There was a good variety for everyone (including vegan options). Can’t complain about any of the food & everything was served super quickly! The craft shop attached was very cute as well...

Lovely place. Nice food and a lovely outside seating area. Good food choices. Would recommend. Great service too

They stock vegan cheese so I was able to get a baked potato with beans and vegan cheese! It was lovely but they also have soup and sometimes have a vegan cake on. Great when travelling with non vegans 😊

Lovely friendly cafe, scones are delicious and the breakfasts are good value for money. De-caffeinated coffee taste as good as the real thing

I have been to craft and things many times over years but today was last time. I arrived at door waiting to be seated when a lady arrived when I asked for a table for one....despite empty tables she said that kitchen was trying to...

Lovely breakfast at Crafts and Things. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Visited here after spending a few hours walking in Glencoe. The staff are attentive, efficient and very friendly. Covid-secure with plenty of tables outside. Lovely latte and americano :)

When in Glencoe we always like to visit Craft and Things. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Breakfasts are very tasty, as are their Chocolate cake. Sadly Covid meant we had to sit outside, thankfully it was dry , but a bit on the chilly...

I've put a LOT of effort in to finding a scone that beats the ones here, calories and calories worth, but these truly are just the best. And the jam, I could just take a jar and eat it with a spoon. This is always...

This is a fabulous cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a wide selection of food, from breakfasts, to light snacks to full lunch, plus the most beautiful cakes, you must remember to leave space for these. The staff are all friendly, and in...

Perfect spot for a coffee and cake visit. Home baking was delicious, and we were able to eat at outside tables with our little dog at our side. Highly recommended

Fantastic service and delicious food. We went here for breakfast this morning and then went in the cute little craft shop next door. 10/10

Stopped in en route to Glencoe Village. Had a cheese scone with homemade raspberry jam at recommendation of server, both were excellent and highly recommend.. husband had Bacon baguette and enjoyed that. Recommend.

Staff were very rude. Ended up leaving without purchasing any food or drink. Walked up the village and found a lovely little cafe with excellent service and fantastic food

This is a lovely little cafe with good coffee and home baking. It's a great situation for sitting outdoors with magnificent views. They go to a lot of trouble to clean everything very carefully. Felt very safe. Highly recommended.

Been in area loads of times don't know why but never been in before. We'll it may be our first but defo won't be last staff are all lovely and chattyWe had two rolls sausage perfect and bacon and eggs same all served on lovely hot rolls.Scones also perfect and as for the home made jam excellent.Place was also spotless and toilets well equipped. Definitely will return maybe in summer to take advantage of out door space.

weve eaten here before and always try and call in, the attached craft shop attracts my wife every time. no drop in standards at all, food homely and very tasty! the young lady who seated us was a delight, even with all the covid restrictions she was cheerful and attentive! I dont normally comment on previous posts but im stunned at some of them and cant believe this is the same place! we will definately be back!!

Visited the area for a weeks late October walking holiday with our teenage son. We ended up having lunch here 3 times ! Each time we had a different soup - always two choices and it changes every day. Everyone was also diary free. Must recommend the Cauliflower Curry, Leek & Potato, Sweet potato & red peppers and the Spicy Vegetables soups. If your not sure they will bring you a sample in a small cup to try. Another tip if you want to exchange your roll that comes with your soup for a scone, cream & homemade jam they will do this and discount it off the price. Seems popular with locals as well ( always a good sign ) Other options - sandwiches & toasties on the menu. If you can't decide you can get a soup and sandwich combination. Lovely like find.

We drove past on the main road and my wife spotted this place and we turned off and came to it on the small local service road. It was during Covid so various precautions in place and you have to go through the gift shop to get to the cafe. We ordered our afternoon pot of tea together with scone cream and jam plus a delicious flap jack and were able to take to the delightful outside seating area at the side which was delightful. Lovely cakes, tea and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The inside was hardly being used as the weather was mild so everyone was sat outside but inside seemed nice too. Lovely experience.

Stopped off here for lunch, walked through the gift shop, which was ok, lots of touristy bits. We placed our order for food at the till, and the waitresses were friendly and helpful. We were going to sit outside, as indoors was full, but as we paid we were told a table was free, and after it was cleaned we sat down.Our food and drinks arrived promptly and our sandwiches were tasty.Unfortunately this is were it went downhill. An older man (who we presumed to be the manager) came along and began berating the waitresses right next to us - telling them off for how they were working and for where they were seating people. This carried on for around 10 minutes, with him leaving and then coming back with further complaints for them. As this was all taking place right next to where we were sitting it was very uncomfortable and awkward, and in the end we took the rest of our sandwiches with us and finished them in the car! Very unprofessional, and we felt bad for the waitresses who had been friendly and helpful to us.

Had been in the craft shop before, but never the cafe. They are really Covid-aware, for anyone that’s bothered. The cakes are to die for (I had the ginger bread), and everything’s nicely-priced. We also bought one of the prints hanging around the place. All round, well worth a stop. Very popular

Looked forward to stopping off here to try the cafe but sadly the gift shop is friendly but not the cafe. Too wet to eat outside

Slightly rude, small portions and overpriced. Disappointing. Tea pot also dripped when pouring. Shame

Especially right now. Lovely welcome from shop staff, every safety measure met without fuss. Friendly cafe assistants who cannot do enough. Great choice of food, coffees and tea. The indoor sitting area has been thoughtfully arranged with artwork on the tables not in service at the moment. A good sized outdoor sitting area is provided. If you are looking fora stop off place right now that meets all the requirements but still retains the friendliness and food choices that don't make you think you've stepped back into a supermarket at the start of this pandemic, this is the place.

Really lovely shop and cafe, well worth a visit. Carrot cake was so delicious from the cafe. Lovely stop on our trip!

We visited twice during a recent visit to the area. Well supervised one way system and lots of signage about masks etc, which were adhered to. Great soup (broth) and nice cakes. Take a trip to the toilets to see all the artwork on the walls- some lovely stuff by I presume local artists. Also lots of new books for sale. Lots of interesting gifts to look at as you go round.

A nice cafe in the village. Lots of seating both inside and our. A very cute shop. Lots of available parking. Covid measures bring abided by the staff.

Popped in here for lunch when staying in caravan park nearby. Lovely lunch soup and sandwich followed by loveliest freshest scones with butter and the home-made raspberry jam is to die for. So good we went back next day for breakfast which was also excellent. Recommend the full breakfast with coffee and toast included. Lovely friendly staff also. We will definitely be back.

I love visiting Crafts & Things on every visit we make to Glencoe. The food is always delicious - particularly the cake selection #breaksthedieteverytime The eating area is always clean and food service is quick. Did I say the cakes are delicious - lol :-0 The crafts are interesting and there's a good choice of gifts for all ages too. My top tip! If you're travelling up through Tyndrum to Fort William or beyond, stop here for tasty food and for any gifts you may need to buy - it's a much more interesting choice for gifts and the food is wholesome, good portions and home made!

We regularly pop in for a bite to eat and bring friends/family. Good parking and nice shop with a wide variety of gifts/presents/books. The cafe has lots of artwork adorning the walls and we have bought several paintings here too.Friendly staff - can be busy at times - including locals going to eat - this tells you something!Ideal for a break if driving long distances - at the bottom of Glen Coe by Loch Leven.

Für eine Einkehr gut geeignet, nur richtige Speisen für Mittag- oder Abendessen sind nicht erhältlich.

Had a quick bite to eat, staff all friendly and food arrived quick, food was spot on. Lovely little cafe with some nice items for sale and loads of paintings. Excellent value

With four friends called in for food chose the big breakfast which included a pot of tea or coffee and two slices of toast great portions wasn’t too keen on the lorn sausage it was a bit dry good service reasonable prices

Love this cafe welcoming after a long hike, delicious food and drink, lovely views of the loch and ample parking.

Always our first stop on our arrival , the bacon and sausage rolls are excellent. . Usually visit three or four times in our weeks holiday , for lunch , coffees and gifts

We stopped in with the kids for some breakfast rolls and they were delicious! Really nice chilled atmosphere friendly staff and a nice coffee.

Smartes, gemütliches direkt an der A82 gelegenes Café mit angeschlossenem Craft Shop. Sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre mit wunderschönem Blick in die Berge. Snacks, Food and Drinks frisch und lecker.

A lovely place to stop and have a coffee and cake or lunch. The food is great, the shop offers a wide selection of different products and the surroundings are very picturesque. Plenty of parking available. Well worth a visit.

I love Ballachulish and I love Crafts & Things. The restaurant is cozy and has good food, whether you want lunch or tea and a piece of cake. The shop is full of interesting things and when you have eaten and shopped and you step outside, the view is fabulous.

As the title implies, Crafts and Things, is a wonderful mix of a gift shop and cafe. The food is “just what you want at the time” and the gift shop is perfect for the “gift with a difference”. I am a local and visit Crafts about three ties every week, either for a coffee, a lunch or when I’m looking for “just that elusive ‘something’ for someone special”.

We stopped at this place on a whim as we drove up to Glencoe from Edinburgh. The tea, BLTs and beans on toast were delicious. We also did a little shopping for some nick knacks.

We stopped in here for a light lunch/afternoon tea after our walk nearby. They have a nice selection of food and very friendly staff.

Stopped off here for a lovely lunch and look round the gallery and shop. Food was quick to come despite it being busy and very tasty. Lovely setting and outdoor seating for nice days.

Stopped for a quick bite en route in our day, found a pleasant place to relax, enjoy a cappuccino, lunch and desserts. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Stopped off here for a quick lunch. Had spicy parsnip soup which was great. Was busy and a bit too crowded for my liking, but obviously good for them.

We wandered in for a coffee takeaway and ended up staying for breakfast. The scones and homemade jam were fantastic and very good coffee as well. Highly recommended.

Must visit place. We had baked potatoes and ciabatta sandwich. With coleslaw and salat and three types of hot drinks. Take out scones with butter and knife for later use. Very cozy place and a good pit stop.

Hi we always try and stop at this craft shop and have lunch or a scone when visiting the West Coast. Been visiting this establishment for years and service has been constantly good. We like the unique gifts and alway find something special to take home for family and friends. Our visit did not dissapoint with a car full of goodies and full tummies winning combo.

In Glencoe you have about 4 places to eat. Glencoe gathering ...expensive and good quality. Didn't go inGlencoe caffe closed on Thursday. Nice local lunch and breaki.Glencoe inn...Didn't visit and this place.The ladies didn't stop cleaning the tables, making sure customers were quickly attended and service was very quick.Nice simple food...jackets, soup, paninis, ciabattas...average prices.It also has a small shop selling hats, blankets, socks, pottery, pictures and other highlands goodies. Completely unexpected and great view of the Glencoes

Vicino al centro di Glencoe, posto molto bello a ridosso di una montagnaSembra una casetta di montagna addobbata con rampicanti e vasi di fiori invece è un bellissimo negozio di souvenirs con annessa caffetteria.La caffetteria tutta in legno anche L arredamento ha anche dei bellissimi tavoli in giardinoOffre il Wi-Fi , qualche piatto freddo e dolci È tutto molto bello tranne purtroppo i dolci: torta di cioccolato possissima e chocolate fudge terribileAll interno c’è anche una vendita di libri per bambini molto belli

8 of us called into this amazing wee place for coffees an snacks and although there was a que for food (good sign) the staff were friendly and pleasant, scones freshly baked an outa the ovenThe craft shop has loads of paintings by local artists of the surrounding area, will call again when passing !

Lovely shop with loads of gifts and unique finds - perfect to buy quality souvenirs. Attached is a cafe where we had a break for a coffee, dinner and desert! Everything was delicious, staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés pour le goûter de 16h. Le lieu est original car fait office de salon de thé et de petite boutique souvenirs.Les gâteaux étaient délicieux (chocolate cake et chocolate & orange marble) et même le café filtre fut de qualité. Je conseille pour une pause douceur au calme

If you’re passing through Glencoe this little cafe and gift shop is well worth a visit. Great coffee and home baking. There is a gift shop with a nice selection of gifts and books and a gallery to browse with some lovely prints at reasonable prices. There is an outside seating area where you can sit with dogs butthey aren’t allowed inside.

Staff very efficient, food lovely, service lovely, shop full of interesting gifts to suit all purses. I bought a necklace and a funny gift for family. I'll go there again definitely.Prices good too.

You'd almost miss this place, but please stop here if you can. The foods great and the staff are ever so helpful, and then on top of that theres a great craft shop and art gallery which is really well priced compared to some other places selling the same products.

Fresh and quick service. Polite and efficient staff. Chocolate cake was yummy. Filling lunch at a reasonable price.

Celebrating 50 years in business, and when you visit you'll understand why. Good menu, fair prices, and most importantly, real, made on the premises, delicious soup, food and home baking. Friendly staff and also a great craft shop too.

Called in here whilst on holiday in the area for coffee and cake. Great choice of homemade cakes and coffee was good too. Lovely gift shop and some lovely books about the area and hillwalking. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

called in on arrival at ballachulish, to be greeted by warm and friendly staff. they have an extensive menu and nothing appeared too much trouble.. food all prepared freshly and brought to your table with very little wait. we would definitely go back and would recommend giving it a try you wont be disappointed. great gift shop next door too.

Popped in here for a break from the relentless rain. Nice cafe with good selection of food, and an attached gift shop.

Hier genossen wir ein Frühstück und zwar ein Porridge und Scones mit Marmelade. Das Porridge wurde fein zubereitet, leider war die Portion für den Preis sehr klein. Die Scones wurden am Sonntag um 09:30 Uhr frisch zubereitet und waren super. Personal ist ok, aber nicht erwähnenswert freundlich.

We visited here during the Easter holidays at lunchtime. The food is tasty and well prepared, and the staff are all helpful and friendly - I would just say that the ordering process is a bit slow and clunky, which means that ordering takes a long time when the cafe is busy. The gift shop has some really lovely things to browse.

I purchased printed from crafts and things a while ago but didn’t buy frames. Today I returned to see if I could buy frames. This wasn’t possible but the staff went over and above and offered to swap the prints for framed prints. I’m beyond delighted ! The range of art is amazing! Everything about this wee gem is brilliant and well worth a visit
