Dunvegan Bakery in Highland

AVOID I am dairy free. And asked if they had any options for me and then said with attitud “no” as if they had never herd of it half of the cakes look shop bought

This is advertised as "Slyes Oldest Bakery". It should say, "SCOTLAND'S BEST BAKERY". We absolutely LOVED the bread and bakery. It may actually be the best in the world! My sisters and neice were traveling thru and stumbled on this gem. The proprietor was delightful. Even though she was crazy busy, she still had a smile and chat with everyone.

Thank you absolutely brilliant. Staying at nearby campsite I went in one day and got a perfectly baked corn bread loaf. The woman who served me was just so cheerful it made my day. We went back another day for some more but sold out. She said that she had one aside for a customer but would leave it hanging outside if it wasn't collected by closing and didn't want me to leave any payment. Went back later and there was the bread hanging up outside. What a fantastic person and bakery you lucky people of Dunvegan.

Lovely little bakery, the oldest on Skye, delicious homemade cakes, bread & pies. The cakes are not small portions either. A ch a friendly little place.

Quatre ans plus tard, nous revoilà dans cette boulangerie typique et authentiquement écossaise, après avoir visité le château et les jardins de Dunvegan. Nous avons pris un peu de tout : roulés à la saucisse, scottish pies, et autres encas salés, ainsi que des cupcakes, scones, carrot cake et sponge cake savoureux. La qualité n'a pas baissé. Nous recommandons vivement !

The bakery is a little gem , friendly staff good prices and to top it off the apple turnovers were amazing visit if you can highly recommend

Oh my gosh- anyone who doesn’t visit this bakery is seriously missing out. Went to look for it on a wild wet windy day, dashed in and oh my, confronted by lots of tempting treats. We chose a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of carrot cake- absolute bargain at £3. We only made it to the top of the road before I told my hubby to turn the car around and go back to get a fresh baked loaf oh and two sausage rolls! The loaf was huge, the sausage rolls sizeable As I write this review the bread has done us for lunch with soup while the other half we’ll use tomorrow for sandwiches, we’ve devoured the chocolate cake which was deeeeelish! The carrot cake is tomorrows treat and I can’t wait! Seriously anyone reading this, DO NOT MISS VISITING this lovely quaint bakery and buying up some treats. Oh and they do food too and have a little café Easily the best place we’ve been for treats during our stay near Portree

Lovely bakery the oldest on Skye The bread and cakes are to die for One has to be early because this bakery is in summertime extremely busy

Mærkelig, at det så lige pludselig kl 15.30 ikke længere kan nyde en kage i deres café, men bliver lidt uhøflig henvist til take away - der mangler noget i kundeservicen

We visited the Bakery twice. Both times for take away. First time we had croissants and the second time a sausage roll and a pasty. The prices were great and the taste amazing. Would definitely visit again.

We stopped for a takeaway coffee and couldn't resist the cakes. Absolutely delicious!! 😋 😋 We tried the almond slice and victoria sponge, we just wished we had bought extra for the day after!

Just popped in here for lunch as passing, so glad we did. Only doing takeaway at this time but would normally have eating in available. Had a bacon roll each and some cake, the bread rolls were large and soft, lovely. We had a tray bake chocolate cake which was really nice, again soft and light. And a cup cake very nice. Pop in when passing, you won't regret it.

Local people never know when this place is going to be open Staff need better training. Very disappointing ESG

Excellent dinner, very good quality of service contrary to comments we have seen on internet, really worth it. The meat is excellent and cooked to perfection

Advertises itself as the oldest bakery on Sky. What matters is the baked goods and they were very good. They also do bacon sandwiches etc. All baked fresh, the bread and cakes we had were great. The corn bread alone is well worth the queue to get into the shop.

Freshly baked bread, pastries and cakes are delicious - especially the carrot cake. Get there early to beat the queues and get a slice!

We were staying at the campsite near the bakery and nipped down early to get bread. It is amazing, especially the corn bread.

Lovely little bakery tried a few different things over the week we spent in Skye everything was fab. Cakes are especially nice. Definitely worth the wait in the queue.

Staying nearby at Skinidin, we went as often as we could, and had bacon rolls, scotch pies, coffee and chocolate cakes, all excellent. The best of all though was the huge white loaf we bought for £2 and took with us to Harris - we...

I can see why this bakery is so busy! The staff are friendly, the cakes are delicious and the sandwiches are huge and well filled. The prices are really reasonable and if you can get parked and don't mind a bit of a queue, it's...

We passed the bakery when on route to see Dunvegan castle, we were intrigued by the sign saying ‘skyes oldest bakery’ and it looked busy which we felt was a good sign. We returned for lunch and decided to get a take out. The staff...

I stopped here for lunch between Neist Point & Dunvegan Castle. Due to Covid, I had a takeaway, and given everything is made to order, it was quick with friendly service. The bacon roll was packed and was really tasty. The pastry on the sausage...

If customers are using a card to pay for goods she shouldn't be moaning about what it costs her for using card service. People are being encouraged to use cards in this environment

There was a woman who had been at the counter before us, who obviously knew the place and was trying to reccomend something. We got the jist of where we were at by simply listening. The counter woman sent the lovely lady packing. It was...

Popped in here in the morning as we were staying at the local campsite. The shop doesn't look like much but the cakes looked decent so we chose the ginger cake and a scotch pie to take away. The scotch pie was fine (I don't...

First class bread, Scones & Cakes, so good we even brought some home. Get there early as there was always a queue and they close when everything is sold, which can be as little as 3 hours! Small seating area there, which was closed when...

Very welcoming atmosphere. We really enjoyed scones with jam. The sausage roll was yummy, it was the best in my life🙂thank you. Also, the cakes are something you don’t want to miss mouth-watering 🙂 The best bakery in the Isle of Skye. I highly recommend

Wonderful pizza yummy thanks will deffo have it again. Lots of flavour just right. My first time and not my last. Yum yum

Loved the toffee cake, shortbread biscuits and the freshly made warm scones. Definitely worth the visit.

Had the best muffins in a while (chocolate and blueberry one) outstanding gingerbread cakes and yummy bacon and cheese pastries. Such nice and polite service highly recommended,im so happy we've been able to find this little gem :)

We went here on a cold, rainy morning and almost drove past, so glad we never.This place is so cosy and welcoming, the owners were so lovely and we had the best bacon buttie we've ever had!. The lovely lady also gave us a big piece of cake to eat on the beach which was gorgeous!. This review is for Skyes Oldest Bakery which I have seen on the photos here so I am hoping this is the same Bakery. You must go for sure, one of our highlights !!

nice to get my breakfast here set me up for the day and as friendly as usual , a local cafe with home made produce. Bread, Cake etc. a good start to a day when it wet outside.

Made two visits to Dunvegan last year. Used bakery regularly. Terrific staff. Bakery a hub! Wonderful products. Highly recommended.

Nice rolls and chatty staff, the price wasn’t amazing but it is in a good location and the food was great! Would absolutely go again.

friendly family feel, always make me feel welcome and i return time and time again as a result of this. The bakery products are lovely, not ate on this occasion but ate before chocolate cake is great the Campers breakfast is good to get me going. I am not a holiday maker but a local. nice honest and friendly

Sorry, but don’t tell customers to go elsewhere and not even ask if they want to buy any of your goods to take away with them. As it turns out we had a fantastic meal across the road.

Our small family visited this fabulous little bakery a good few times over our week stay near Dunvegan (even popping in at opening time on the way home for a loaf and some cakes). Cakes... oh my goodness gracious I don't think I've ever had a slice of chocolate cake so moist and rich, worthy of Bruce Bogtrotter! Coconut cake's divine and the iced shortbread my son enjoyed thoroughly. The sausage rolls! I'm slightly shamed to say they are better than my mothers homemade ones! Go in at opening time and the smell will excite your salivary glands to the point of actual drooling. The ladies at very pleasant and welcoming, stopping to chat and make you feel at home. It may be Skyes oldest bakery, but I'd bet my bottom dollar it's Skyes best.

Fabulous stuffed bread and very nice soup..unfortunately the gallery was closed . Soup was delicious...lentil and coconut milk ...cakes to die for and a little unusual

Everything looked so nice lovely fresh bread and nice cakes.Also has a cafe serving lots of delicious foods.

This was a pleasant find!! The oldest bakery on the Isle of Skye. You won't be disappointed! Make time to visit!

What a gem Dunvegan Bakery is,I can't remember having such lovely tasty bread before,and the apple turnovers are to die for( I ate 3!!!!) The cakes are amazing. I want to kidnap the baker and take him back to Dorset so I can selfishly eat these delights every day.Anyone visiting Skye has to call in to this amazing bakery.

I am unable to review Dunvegan Bakery because I never visited there. From the pictures on TripAdvisor the food looks nice.

Fantastic bakery with very welcoming staff and beautiful fresh scones. If you are in the area this is worth a stop

1st time to Isle of Skye to visit friends who had moved to Skye 5 years ago so we had excellent guides to Skye gems and was took to Skye's oldest bakery for breakfast and home made cream cakes and bread loafs fresh out the oven, very friendly staff what more do you need, just down road from Dunvegan Castle.Top Tip get to the bakery early as everything gets sold out quick.

A really present surprise to stumble upon whilst visitng Skye. We had coffees and rolls for brunch and were welcomed and provided with excellent service. They also provided lactose-free milk :)

We came in for lunch. The place is old fashioned which is fine although a wee spruce up wouldn’t go amiss. The food itself is good . However when you are sitting down for lunch it’s nice if your table is given a quick wipe as is standard practice .

Had a lovely cup of tea served by chatty staff in this quaint bake house and took away some tasty pie and cake.

Visited the bakery on a wet Thursday morning. Unfortunately I was too late for the hot pies coming out of the oven but the rolls and sausage were lovely. The fresh strong coffee was very nice as was the carrot cake and strawberry tarts! Next time I will aim to be there much earlier.

Stopped for a few minutes in a heavy rainfall, to buy some food and ask for the way to the Neist Point Lighthouse. On the very moment I entered the bakery, the scents of baked goodies captured my mind. I bought delicious cheese and bacon pies (the most freshly baked pies I have ever eaten) and raisin cakes. Prices very good. I asked the girl at the teller how old the bakery is and she was very kind and willing to inform me. A must stop for everyone!

Das Brot ist sehr zu empfehlen, meist kam es frisch aus dem Ofen. Die Scones schmeckten den Kindern leider nicht.

En limite de village et en bordure de route (accès facile cependant), toute petite boulangerie dont une partie est équipée de 4 tables pour déjeuner sur place. Offre limitée mais de qualité, service rapide de type familial, gentillesse de l'équipe. Plusieurs desserts de type pâtisseries. Arrêt sympa, simple, plutôt charmant par son côté "vintage" et riquiqui.

The staff was friendly and our campers breakfasts were delicious. People were actually queing outside to get some of those delicious pastries! Oh and it's just the cutest place.

Lovely little place, friendly staff, great selection of rolls and cakes, offers takeaways. A great way to start the day.

Their blueberry scones were to die for! And our server made a great cup of coffee. It was such a nice visit — worth a detour for those yummy scones!

Vlotte en vriendelijke bediening. Goed ontbijt voor mooie prijs. Lokale producten dicht bij kinloch camping. Ook meeneemgerechten.

We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast at the Isle of Skye oldest cafe this morning. The ambience of the cafe offers a cozy stop off place in cold and grey weather to enjoy a hot drink and pastry . We particularly enjoyed listening to the warm and welcoming staff chatting away to their customers who were a mix of both locals and other holiday makers. What a happy bunch. Thanks guys!!

Fantastisches Brot bis am Mittag meistens Ausverkauft. Kleines Café mit Bäckerei an der Durchgangsstrasse.

L'extérieur ne paie pas de mine mais l'arrêt s'impose ! Endroit convivial, petit pains aux raisins et natures délicieux. Le pain est bon et se conserve longtemps. Nous avons été servies les deux fois par la mémé très attachante à laquelle nous donnons notre cinquième étoile...

Kleine und feine Bäckerei. Das Brot ist gut. Es gibt nur wenig Tische und die Einrichtung ist recht rustikal, hat aber Charme. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und günstig. Der Kaffee war O.K. Familiäre Atmosphäre, nette Bedienung.

Finally managed to get to the bakery on the last day of our holiday. It was very busy with the queue virtually out of the door. In terms of choice I would say limited on both bread options & cakes but the bread and cakes (we had a piece of blueberry & lemon iced sponge, a piece of iced chocolate sponge & a scone) were all really fresh, really tasty & good value for money.

With little to no competition you almost expect this bakery to be overpriced and not very good. However this couldn't be more wrong.

Be early to avoid disappointment! They sell out fast. The bread and cake products are superb. The take away cafe is excellent value and the fillings are huge.

A few years back we were so impressed by the bread at breakfast at the Stein Inn in Waternish that we asked if it was baked on the premises. No, it was bought daily from Dunvegan.

A really warm welcoming greeting.Lovely coffee and cakes for my wife and I after a trip to Dunvegan Castle.In between serving other people,we chatted with the owner about the number of Pods we had seen,the weather (which was great for our week) the fact they allowed dogs and well behaved children in.Also the numbers of foreign visitors (American,Dutch,German,Chinese,Japanese) all snapping away and enjoying the sites.

I’d like to start by pointing out that the bakery declares itself open until 3pm. Presumably this means that the staff are prepared to serve until then in the bakery part of the establishment (I can just about understand the cafe closing up earlier). However, going by today’s experience I appear to be wrong.

Stayed at Kinloch Camp site for 4 nights. Found the bakery and glad we did, Great freshly baked goodies. Highly recommend the Scones. Still warm when we bought them as was the freshly baked Bread. Cakes that we tried were also top class. Busy but that's cause its so good!!! And all very reasonably priced.

Called in here for lunch with friends and our golden retriever, Bailey. The staff were really attentive and friendly. Bailey got a particularly warm welcome as our waitress gave him a sausage whilst she took our order. We have never seen him eat so fast so it must have been good! Our food was also excellent. I had a baked potato and it was soft and fluffy with just the right amount of cheese! Highly recommended

So definitely not part of a chain.

We stayed locally and visited every day for bread and cakes. Both were wonderful but beware being late. They sell out fast!!!

You really should not leave it too late in the day if you want have a choice of excellent loaves of bread or other bakery products.

La maisonnette ne paie pas de mine, à la sortie du village de Dunvegan, mais arrêtez-vous y ! Nous avons pris à emporter de très bonnes petites tourtes à la viande d'agneau (scottish pies), un roulé à la saucisse (sausage roll) et deux énormes et délicieuses parts de gâteaux (carrot cake et chocolate sponge cake). Des encas copieux, pas chers du tout, et propres à l'Écosse et au Royaume-Uni. À ne pas manquer !

Nice place to stop along the way, cakes were really good and we had baked potato and a cheese toastie which were nice for a small lunch.

We enjoyed our food here and visited twice. The first was for take away and the second to eat in. We were pleased both times. Owners were very friendly.

Simple fare, sandwiches and a bakery. We arrived almost at closing in the afternoon for a late lunch. Asked cook if he’d still make a meal. Said of course but we promised to be quick. Turned out we didn’t need to. Waitress went home and chef and wife keep us talking for an hour. We had so much fun listening to his stories. Lot has gone on at the oldest bakery on the Isle. Food very good. We had panini’s and burger that were excellent as was the coleslaw side. Sorry we missed out on the bakery items but there was a strawberry tort we all shared for dessert. Don’t miss this place!

This was a most delicious place to visit .... and eat. The desserts are absolutely mouth watering and people were constantly coming in to purchase items. We are going back to try some different desserts before we leave the island.

We called into the bakery on our way to catch sight of the castle. It is the oldest bakery in Skye. The cafe is small and quaint. The choice of cakes was varied from scones, to chocolate cake, strawberry tarts, blueberry muffins to name a few. The chocolate cake was to die for. My husband found the blueberry muffin light and fluffy. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Stopped for a lunchtime snack. Had good coffees and delicious pastries and millionaires shortbread. So enjoyable that we asked for second helpings. Very friendly couple.

Cute little bakery. Good coffee, lovely fresh muffins, pastries and cakes. Need to try the bread some time soon.

Deservedly popular bakery, in season always full! Our favourites were the cinnamon scones. The place is sometimes understaffed, so you might want to prepare for queuing outside.

We dashed in here during a cold rain to grab some hot coffee and pastries. It is a very small place so we squeezed in tight as we placed our order but the staff were friendly and the pastries and coffee hit the spot.

Warm and Friendly Staff. Amazing bread and cakes. Fresh soup made every day. Everything cooked fresh to order. It is compact so go early at lunch times to guarantee a seat. If they are full ask for a take-away.

Please scroll past the poor reviews. I can not recommend the bakery enough. We visit annually and for the children, it is a highlight to see Janice, Jill, old friends and to sample their food and engage in the friendliest of chats. The bakery is small but that is what is apet of the character, given it is the oldest bakery inn skye! It isn’t a chain. Please enjoy the wonderful uniqueness as it is. We have high standards and neither the service, surroundings or food have ever been anything less than superb. The rude gentleman who has given a poor, inaccurate review was impact a bully who was aggressive towards me, shouting at me for talking to friends, shaking with rage and had to be asked to leave but the owner who looks after her customers well... I was quite shaken and at a loss for words, being berated infront of my husband and children for daring to speak. despite his concerns about the quality of every aspect of the bakery, the Man in question I nfact polished off his food with gusto! His wife was mortified but knew to stay quiet, so it would seem....

Staff where fantastic great with kids just aswell as I have 4 young kids there favourite bit of the holiday was visiting the bakery for breakfast and the cake is 100% hands down the best in dunvegan with very reasonable prices

The place is cramped, grubby and run down. Don’t look in the kitchen it might disturb you. The staff were friendly though.

Delicious scone and coffee. A tiny little bakery so don't come with a huge crowd. Sweet ladies working here. A "must" if you are coming through Dunvegan!

We visited the old bakery 5 times during our visit and couldn't get enough of their awesome food! Egg & Sausage Roll, Bacon Roll oh and their scones and bread, just the best ever!

Ottimo per un pasto veloce (anche take away) ed economico, sia dolce che salato. Si aspetta un attimo per l'ordine ma è tutto fresco e fatto al momento. Un "pit-stop" molto consigliato nel giro di Skye.

We called in here for lunch and it was very busy. It felt very cramped and everyone was dancing round each other trying to get past all the time. There was a nice choice on he menu although the counter looked pretty empty. The staff were obviously busy and were a bit brusque. The wifi was absolutely rubbish - it didn't work at all. The whole place felt grubby and run down. However, the food was nice and not too expensive. On the whole I wouldn't go back.

Who doesn't love the smell of fresh bread, but make sure you get there before it all goes, lovely lovely with some fresh butter and some jam picked up from one of the honesty Boxs

The Dunvegan bakery and I are very old friends, I make a point of coming here at least once when on Skye - just for a bacon and egg roll. Does not sound like much, but trust me on this, out of the thousands of bacon sandwiches I have ever had the ones from here are the best. In over 30 years of holidays I have had 7 visits to Skye and everytime the bacon and egg sandwich in a bakery bun has been perfect. My daughters first visit and she concours!

Poor service, impolite and just not very pleasant. Their attitude was just not acceptable and very unexpected.

Questa panetteria è stata la prima, e per molti anni la sola, panetteria di tutta l’Isola.

A rainy day in Dunvegan on the isle of skye, whilst driving around we came upon the old Bakery (oldest on the island). We asked if we could take our dogs in, and was told as long as the other people did not mind it was fine. Once they saw our 2 Dachshunds Ralph & Trudie all was fine, so in we all went. The staff are friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Fruit scones are to die for Yum Yum. Lovely home made rolls, everything so nice, we came away with a bag full of goodies for Tea.

Hier bekommt man lecker Selbstgemachtes für wenig Geld. Campers Breakfast inkl. Kaffee oder Tee für 6,50£ und Kuchen für 1-2£. Für große Gruppen nicht geeignet.

We visited here twice...once for lunch. The fish and chips were excellent. The chips were crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The coating on the fish was crispy and the fish was delicious. On our way out from lunch we picked up a few scones. They were amazing! We went back 2 days later to stock up on scones and rolls before leaving Dunvegan.

Zorg ervoor dat je op tijd bent! Om 10:00 gaat de bakkerij open en 1,5 uur later is de bakker leeg verkocht. We hebben een vers brood gekocht, scones en gebakjes. Heerlijk was het!!!

Absolutley 100%. Tried the white rolls first, then next day a full white loaf - could not believe the texture, soft, fluffy, light, but the flavour - truly amazing! Apple turnovers, doughnuts are just as good. Get there early - before opening time - there's always a queue (even in the rain!) and get that bread whilst it's still warm - awesome. Staff are really helpful and very polite - prices are extremely reasonable - I wish we had a bakers like this near where I live, I'd be there everyday!

Ottima soluzione per un pranzo rapido, economico e soprattutto molto buono.

Couldn’t resist the idea of a bakery stop off on our drive across the island. The staff were really helpful and recommended a few things for our day. The scotch pie was delicious!

Incredible tasty bakery ! You could of taken anything, all was great! We went a couple of times during our stay in Dunvegan, choosing out of all the goodies was the problem !
