Gallie Craig Coffee House in Dumfries & Galloway

Very comfortable and bright structure, set in a spectacular setting, next to the Mull of Galloway. Excellent for a relaxing snack after visiting the lighthouse.

We just got a latte each, but the food looked very good. There were plenty of cakes, scones, etc, to choose from.

Wow. Loved this place. What a view.

Lovely place to go with stunning views over the sea. Terrific coffee and cakes. We will definitely be returning.

Nice and clean, good food, great selection Inc gluten free , a little pricey, great gift shop, plenty to choose from, dogs welcome outside only

Will be back on a clearer day. Food was lovely and reasonably priced.

We drove down to The Mull of Galloway for 3 reasons, to walk the dog, to visit the lighthouse and to have lunch in the Gallie Craig. Well as the song goes - two out of three ain't bad! The cafe/restaurant is not dog friendly, and I was not prepared to leave the dog in our vehicle on a sunny day. Very disappointing, but their business, their rules. However it's my money and my choice where I spend it, so we moved on. It is not sufficient in my opinion to only allow dogs onto the outside terrace. This is Scotland and the weather can be brutal - even though it was a sunny day, it was far too windy to sit outside.

Fantastic coffee great food at a good price 👌and the view on a clear day will be amazing

Loverly place to stop family run good selection of main meals and sandwiches soups etc, this place is great ,there is also gifts to by should you need a present to take home, staff are great and friendly 😀

Our first stop off on arrival for breakfast before a walk. Highly recommended! Very friendly staff too

Great views lovely food and good coffee. There is a lot of home baking goods to choose from as well as their extensive food options. All the plates looked delicious.

Fab cafe n gift shop. Great views...only gave 3 stars as I believe its over priced.

Love it here. Great food, friendly staff, amazing views. Shame about not being able to take the dogs in (the only downside)

Wonderful views and a gorgeous location. The food was decent, though some items better than others. Recommend the goats cheese salad!

Unique location serving good food and coffee

Can’t say about food we only had drinks sat out side in sunshine nice breeze beautiful area would go again

Love this place to warm up after a cold windy day. Lovely little gift shop and cafe. Staff always friendly and helpful

Delicious food with great view 😋

Quite possibly the best burger I've ever tried (Brie and Bacon).

The road to Gallie Craig may be long and winding.... great view..... but well worth the journey, probably the best salads in the south west, friendly staff too... and quick. Will be back soon.

Already mentioned place in my longer lighthouse review. Marvellous cafe & giftshop Really nice staff.

Clean and well organised. Tasty food of a great variety. Excellent staff. Views spectacular.

Been couple of times now.food is lovely. Staff very helpful. Beautiful views. Best homemade huge pavlova

Good food excellent cake and the views out to sea top it all off

Despite being a very busy day there was enough seating. There was a bit of a wait in the queue, but the food arrived at the table fairly quickly. The service was very good, the food was excellent and the view ! Breath taking

Great Food and coffee, A brilliant little gift shop and extremely clean toilets

Friendly and efficient service, good food and spectacular views.

Nice modern facility. Great views good food. Gift shop and toilets too, welcome refuge on a blustery day. Marked down due to not being dog friendly.

Interesting coffee. Not very clear (one liner on site after checking). If you're a dog owner you're welcome to sit outside 🐕

Nice cafe set in a stunning location. Good food and quality service worth a visit if in the area. Toilets available.

Cycled there from Cairnryan, had a lovely fry and a coffee - excellent food and service…

Excellent cafe right on the tip of Mull of Gallway next to lighthouse. Breathtaking scenery and views out to sea.

Pros Tasty Food Amazing views and innovatively designed building with minimal impact to the picturesque environment. Cons Service staff were somewhat brusk. Overall A great place for a cup of tea and cake.

Lovely coffee shop close to the historic Mull of Galloway lighthouse - a nice day trip if you combine the two. We were staying at the lighthouse and I found the staff at Gallie Craig really nice and friendly - my daughter loves ice cream and they sold me some I could take away for her. The menu is good too. The only downside for us really is that dogs are not allowed inside (except service dogs). I do understand that people who are not dog owners don't always want to be alongside them, and it's probably right therefore that not every eatery allows dogs. However, this is the only cafe for literally miles around so it's unfortunate that it doesn't cater for dogs. You are allowed to use the outside seating area but in most weather conditions that is really not comfortable. We went in August but it was still so windy that I dared not try to drink anything out there for fear of it being blown over. I think this problem could be solved if a seating area with a bit more protection from the elements could be provided for dog owners. Judging by the number of dogs I saw in the area, this would soon pay for itself! Anyway, moan over, this was otherwise a super place.

Stopped in for tea and cake while visiting the visitor centre. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The cakes were unbelievable ( banoffee pie) and even had a vegan selection for my partner. It's worth the visit

Top restaurant with a brilliant view, great offerings and the best scone I've had so far. Price performance is right here! We have been traveling in Scotland for 6 weeks and I have had the best scone ever here. The restaurant has a large selection of dishes. Our coffee and hot chocolate were great. There is also a small shop with souvenirs. Toilets are extremely clean, children's chairs, changing tables are available and everything is designed to be handicapped accessible. Absolute recommendation to stop here. Parking spaces are free.

Lovely wee stop, we just had coffee but the food and cakes looked great

Coffee was lovely, cakes are amazing! What a location, really friendly staff too. Place was immaculate.

Perfect service, delicious food, and amazing views! Highly recommend!

The food was good, standard, but that view!

Staff were extremely helpful with allergies. Managed to order food to suit everyone, and food came out very quickly. Always good quality and nice environment even on a stormy day. The road is horrific, and fields opened onto the road where the cows happily cross your path can be a bit off putting.

What a stunning location!! Such friendly staff and great food and coffee

Spotless and staff brilliant 👏 👌

Great view. Portion sizes are huge. Too much

Great lunch spot with tasty lunch. Views from the dining area are out of this world.

A brilliant cafe in a beautiful setting. The burgers were top notch and the banoffee pie was amazing. Will definitely be back sometime.

Amazing view, friendly service and good food.

The young lady were exceptionally pleasant makes a visit to this sensational place even more pleasing. Terrific views and delicious coffee and cake options. Brilliant. GF and vegan catered for v well too.

I recommend Hallie CraigCoffe House. Stunning view at the sea, fresh and tasty food, gift shop, toilets, friendly staff. Food portions are really good I had ham and pineapple salad that kept me full for half a day. Thank you.

Outstanding, staff, facilities and food. The view is breathtaking.

What a great place! The location and views are fantastic and the food is very good and good value. I wish more places in Scotland could be like this.

Excellent service and extremely friendly staff and exceptional value for money

Scotlands southernmost Coffee House doesn't disapoint, with great service and iconic scenery what more can you ask for. I stopped here for lunch during a road trip and thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and Club Sandwich I had. I'd really recommend the food, it prepared and presented well. The service was excellent with the staff and I exchanging a small joke about my coffee order... black coffee with butterscotch syrup (when in Rome right). I have marked the atmosphere down one star simply cause I'd prefer if it was dog friendly, given that the growns of the light house are and its a bit inconvenient. However I appreciate that it's there perogative and that this is simply my little thought. Over all a fantastic place to stop and refuel.

Went to this Cafe/Restaurant 02/06/24 ordered a Big Breakfast & A small Breakfast, when it arrived the Sausage/ Haggis , .baco etc was dry & had been reheated more than once as the meal was tepid to say the least,..presentation poor, taste poor, temperature warm. Certainlywould NEVER order a meal there ever again.to sum up RUBBISH !

Spectacular views, good food and friendly service.

Great Café with a wide variety of foods and drinks to choose from. Lovely big gift shop! Was open today even though it's Friday so idk about the opening times.

It was a particularly wet weekday in May, so we stopped by this coffee shop for a hot chocolate and cake to dry off. The staff were very welcoming, and we enjoyed looking around the gift shop as well. The views are spectacular down the cliffs to the sea and of the lighthouse. Sitting here really gives you the feeling you're on the edge of the world 🌎

This has to be my favourite place to visit for a bite to eat and a coffee the views have to be the best anywere in the country by far

Not dog friendly!! No obvious reason why dogs can’t go inside. Don’t go if you have a dog and it’s raining! No cover!

NOT dog friendly. The terrace is lovely and there are great views; however, this is Scotland, and the weather can be brutal. After a walk you can find yourself unable to stop and have a drink to warm up because it’s impossible to sit out. The cafe itself is fairly large and lends itself to being split into two areas. One dog friendly and the other not. Today there are at least six dog owners who would simply have turned around and left without using the cafe. Four stars due to the lack of these facilities.

Lovely friendly staff. Great menu and really nice staff. Banoffee pie was outstanding. Lovely clean toilets too.

Brilliant cafe/restaurant and shop right at the Lighthouse. Magnificent views

Food and pricing is ok for such a remote area. Great views over to Ireland and Isle of Man on a clear day

Had a great burger here at lunchtime yesterday. Good food and quick service

Gallie Craig does not need my review, as it scores so well and I can see why. We were pleasantly surprised about the quality of the venue and food. Good choice on the menu, mains sandwiches and cakes. Cafe was clean and modern, staff were efficient and friendly. Service was excellent. Inside and outside seating, stunning views and dog friendly. If only I didn’t live 3 hours away

The tea time we did there was lovely.

Great variety of food, well presented

What a place and what a view! A must visit destination in Scotland!👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful views and food. Friendly service. The photos are from 2 visits on 2 separate days.

Fabulous home made cakes and delicious coffee. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

A coffee with a view! Reasonably priced coffees and amazing banoffee pie! Was a great place to stop for quick drink and some sugar!

Very helpful friendly staff. Great views from cafe.

Poor slow service, poor quality food well over cooked, in the hour plus we were there from when we arrived the male and female toilets were out of service "cleaning in progress please use disabled / child changing room, which was afloat with liquid and only a single toilet" and the same when we left. Very disappointed.

Really lovely cafe and amazing views. Had some really good looking cheesecakes available. Hot drinks were extreamly hot. Drink carefully.

Excellent breakfast and spectacular views.

Great location & views. I found the food to be ok if a little pricey, but taking into account the logistics of the location, Ok. Second time I've eaten there & this time the portions sizes were better. (larger).

Lovely little place at the bottom of Scotland, not like your just gonna pass by but make an effort to go. Had Mac n Cheese with chips and garlic bread, 5***** don’t tell the wife but it was just as good as hers. Views from the cafe are great, seating outside for good days or folks with dogs, toilets clean and a gift shop inside too. Very nice place.

Wonderful cafe and gift shop. Lovely staff. My breakfast roll was the best I have ever had. Bacon , sausage & egg. Beautiful soft bread roll. Cakes looked sensational too. Views jaw dropping. Well worth a visit. 5🌟

Good day out to the Mull Gallie Craig pleasant add on

Stunning views, well worth the visit. The cafe was excellent, lovely soup, very clean throughout. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Loved this wee spot, Even on a foggy day it was beautiful, Can't wait 2 come back Xxx

A great place to get lunch after walking around the lighthouse and cliffs.

Best salad I have ever had in a cafe ,

A welcome stop off at the most southern point in Scotland. Good service and excellent food. Price definitely above the average but the setting makes it all worthwhile.

This has to be one of the most stunning locations for a coffee house anywhere in the world. Situated on the tip of the mull of Galloway - Scotlands most Southerly point, with views across to the Isle of Man, Ireland and beautiful Luce bay. Food lovely and service great but the big glass windows giving you views out really makes this place spectacular. Well worth the journey if you’re in Dumfries and Galloway 👌😊

Friendly staff and views was great

Had a lovely light lunch here with my wife and a friend. The soups were amazing as were the scones. The views are amazing too. Magic👍8

The fact that their is a cafe of any type in such a remote area is amazing. But they don't allow dogs at all which seems like an odd thing nowadays. Also the day we visited it was the windiest place on the plant. Nice coffe though.

Great food great staff AMAZING FOOD

Great place for food and cuppa when out with motorbike club thumbs up

Lovely place, nice choice of food and drinks, beautiful views and walks around, toilets and gift shop.

Have been twice its 100 mls away from my front door my wife hadnt been the weather wasnt good but it didnt stop the excitement of experiencing the mull of galloway and the great gaillie craig cafe 1st time i was here the food was 10 out of 10 came dwn again yesterday 24/9/23. Staff are fabulous the food is outstanding my wife and i got the club sandwich which comes with chips salad and both had a drink large americano and pepsi aswell i had meringue she had banoffee pie was lovely cost was £32 outstanding value would always come back place is immaculate toilets are beautifully done staff are the friendliest and cant thank them enough for making our visit perfect. John pam cain .

Huge menu that doesn't disappoint. Tea and scones were perfect. Great soup and toastie selection. Thoughtful service in clean space that has high turnover of tables. Very impressive for such a tourist spot that could easily have been leaving more to be desired.

Having coffee looking at that view perfect 😊

Popped in for a coffee and cake ! Lovely staff, very welcoming and helpful.

The staff are very friendly and polite, the place was very clean and the views are spectacular. I would visit again.

Sat outside for coffee and cake, enjoying the sunshine and views. Great service and price. Wished we'd opted for lunch there instead of making sandwiches.

Beautiful views over the mill of Galloway. Lovely friendly and efficient staff and delicious food. Plenty of seats and speedy service. Definitely recommend.

Always good for a bite to eat or just a coffee. Outstanding views. Great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Both male and female toilets closed for cleaning at the same time? Queue for disabled. Always enjoy the food and food service.
