Gelato Ullapool in Highland

Top notch takeaway banana & chocolate scone/scone 😉 Friendly staff.

Delicious food, really good coffee, really recommend!

Amazing local cafe with equally amazing food! The local food variety was plenty and was all homemade. The lady was amazing and patient explaining the options which led us to try so many local Scottish delights. 100/10 would recommend and as I always say, support local businesses whenever possible!

Absolutely wonderful in every way <3 Out of 172 carrot cakes I tried, Jojo's is the best.

Great service, very friendly staff. Breakfast rolls and coffee were delicious!

Passing this smart looking cafe we noticed a lady coming out with a fantastic looking ice cream cone. We weren’t particularly looking for ice cream however we took a look inside and came away with two of the loveliest tasting ice cream cones either of us have come across in a long time. Do try one if you are passing, I swear it will put a smile on your face 😀

We stumbled on this place after the kids asked for ice cream. I googled and thankfully ignored a couple of the more prominent but worse reviewed locations. Here they make their own flavours and have some that are very unique. As much as I enjoy the normal brands it’s great to see somewhere doing something different and pulling it off. The flat white was also very nice and the server was friendly and very helpful. I wish I had tried the sea buckthorn - next time!

Picked up afternoon tea for 3. Fantastic selection. Excellent value. Could have fed a small army...but not complaining. Deffinately would go to again. And would whole hearedly recommend 👌👌

Great little shop with handmade goodies. The ice cream is also highly recommended. The service was super friendly, so I'm happy to recommend this little shop

Yummy fresh food, nice service, great place.

Delicious, homemade ice cream flavors, good coffee, there are also savory snacks. Totally nice staff. And the whole thing is conveniently right next to a mailbox!

Great cafe and shop serving the most delicious filled rolls and cakes. Would highly recommend the Strawberry tarts!

Wow! Your challenge will be to decide where to start, and when to say ‘enough’. Quiche

Great place for a takeaway coffee before or after the ferry. I also had a delicious almond croissant and bought a packet of Westray Bakehouse flakey biscuits for the journey. The staff are really friendly. Highly recommended.

Coffee and pastries fine. Service with a smile wouldn't go amiss. We all have off days, but if you're in a service industry, you should at least try to not make a customer feel they're intruding. The woman serving was so 'off' I actually asked if they were having a bad Monday! After which she at least warmed up a bit. Hence, the 2* instead of 1. A far warmer welcome was received at a different cafe around the corner, so that will be my go-to next time I'm visiting.

Best pork pies ever….. and delicious cakes.

Amazing and very generous slices of millionaires short cake and rocky road. Nice spot.

The ice cream was super tasty and the balls were very big. Great price-performance ratio. I had the sea buckthorn ice cream and black currants. Mega The chocolate and banana scone was also delicious. Very nice service 👍

We dropped in for some ice cream and it was well worth it I must say. Around 8-10 different flavours to choose from and one favourite of the day for us was the sea buckthorn for sure.

Fantastic range of delicious food with great coffee. Salmon roll was amazing!

Stopped by yesterday morning and had a delicious slice of Gluten Free chocolate brownie and a large cuppa de-caff tea. Friendly staff wish we lived closer to go again, small shop but lots of variety for non gluten free eaters.

Leckerer Cappuccino und super Brownie!

Great selection of pies and sweet things, coffee was lovely

Very tasty homemade soup and excellent empire biscuits too.

Love this cafe. Best bacon rolls I have ever tasted and such friendly staff. Thumbs up all the way 😋👍🏻👍🏻

No prices advertised. Got 2 flat whites which were incredibly small and 2 bacon & tattie scone rolls (2pieces of bacon) £15. Bang average. No sit in, small table outside for 2. Cakes looked OK though

Was passing through and stopped for a quick bite, had a nice sausage roll, caramel shortbread and coffee 👍

Friendly staff with very good gelato. The rose, toffee, and sea buckthorn flavours are all very good. You can park outside, or further along the street. Best visited after the Ullapool museum.

Had lunch, coffee and cake out of Cafe Margot a few times on a recent visit. The quiche salad pot is amazing. Good selection of rolls and other pastry goods. Cakes are fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a stop off if you are in the area

Nice food, delicious crossaint but extremely disappointed that I paid £4.50 for a bacon and egg sandwich for only one slice of bacon...

Delicious pastries and coffee, and staff is very friendly and helpful, perfect place for good breakfast :)

Great food, generous portions, good service. Pop in for your morning coffee.

We live in Aberdeenshire and have been spending our weekends travelling around the north, finding some real gems! This is a super wee cafe, with a great choice of savoury and sweet delights, veggie options and a beautiful display of all the goodies you can choose from. We had lentil soup (possibly the best this weary old biker has had from a cafe, ever) served with a warm crusty bread roll, a real mouthwatering delight. We shared a HUGE strawberry tart, bursting with cream and no soggy bottom, and just had to sample the icecream. The blueberry icecream is definitely worth a taste, smooth, sweet and tangy and portions are generous. We noticed lots of rather fine looking pies, breads and many more cakes and ice creams to try. All goods were served in environmentally friendly card packaging with wooden cutlery, yes we noticed and we appreciate it, perfect for recycling in Ullapools recycling facilities just up the road. The staff were busy, it was a busy Sunday afternoon but they were ever so very friendly, smiling and chatty, we felt really valued as customers and we appreciate that too. We look forwards to returning and sampling further from the menu and maybe sitting outside to enjoy the wonderful west coast weather.

Selection of vegan pies as well as a good selection of plant based milk for your fresh coffee.

This ice cream place is normally very good but today was different. There was 3 people in a queue in front of us and it took 20 mins for us to get to the front. It’s because the staff were chatting with somebody they know. Sadly it didn’t do chocolate ice cream either. The apple juice was good and the scones were ok, and there was a tiny bit of butter on it, we barely noticed it. The staff were friends and the prices were reasonable. Might be back if there is no queue and has chocolate ice cream. Very disappointed.

Popped in as they were in the process of opening this morning and had the pleasure to meet two lovely ladies . Bought a couple of Bacon rolls and two Almond Croissants , Delicious very Fresh very moreish. Also bought some savouries for lunch later , all fresh and all at a great price 👍🏻

Just the most lovely ice cream we've tasted, decent prices and lovely staff. Highly recommended and we will return.

Due to Covid restrictions service was a bit slow but the ice cream is very good. The cakes looked good as well.

My sister and I stopped for one scoop of the coconut and mango ice cream in a carton. £3 each which we thought a bit steep as we didn’t have a cone. Couldn’t taste the mango but coconut flavour good and nice and creamy.

Popped in for some after dinner gelato and was sooo happy with this! Such a cute little cafe with a really nice selection of food!

Excellent, could spend a small fortune everyday. We only went in for Gelato but also came out with cakes and pies. Returned a couple of days later for bacon sandwiches in the morning and a cake as it would be rude not to. Definitely a place we’ll visit on our next trip

Excellent place. Their gluten-free cakes are amazing. Coffee is pretty good too.

Super friendly service and delicious gluten-free cakes! Plus their gelato was delicious!

Visited in August and waited soooo long to get in the shop with current restrictions, however the spiced chicken salad roll I had was so delicious it was worth the wait, I wish I could remember what the name of it was! Sadly due the wait times I couldn't return for gelato but next time :-)

This was a really unexpected treat serving some of the best ice-cream I've eaten and, also, really good coffee. Plenty of main-stream flavours but also several really creative ones such as the pear and stilton and a blueberry ice-cream from hand-picked blueberries. You can tell a lot about the ice-cream by the texture and temperature and this was spot on.

Having had gelato from this place soon after it opened in 2017, we were waiting to go back and have some more - and we weren't disappointed! In addition to the yummy gelatos, we had excellent vegetarian food for lunch a couple of days in a row - soups, chickpea curry and beetroot & halloumi burgers. All very reasonable and with friendly service!

They have some lovely flavours such as pear and blue cheese, trust me try it! The man who served us was lovely NB - They don't have diary free but the sorbets are lovely

Stopped off in Ullapool this afternoon on our way North and got some ice creams. My partner had pistachio and coconut and I got pear & stilton and rhubarb. All the flavours were fantastic, the best ice cream we can remember having in a long time. So tasty and fresh, I hope we will be able to stop on the way back down for more!

I had ice cream from pear and blue cheese. It was amazing. You need to go there while you are in Ullapool

Popped in for an ice cream last Friday as it’s been a while since last in Ullapool. Queued for a short period as only two people allowed in at a time due to CV19 restrictions. Ice cream was excellent and staff were brilliant under difficult circumstances, not easy working with masks and constantly busy. Keep up the good work, much appreciated.

Excellent cup of coffee, lovely customer service, highly recommend it, definitely worth a visit. On top great ice cream for sunny Scottish weather ♥️

We couldn’t resist the amazing ice cream from this place and kept coming back day after day. We look forward to the varied flavours and new additions every year that we stay in the area. This year’s highlights include: -Sweetie surprise and pistachio (voted for by our five year old) -Blue cheese and pear, Scottish tablet (voted for by my husband) -Blackcurrent ( berries grown by the owner) and pink marshmallow (my faves this year) -everything (voted for by the youngest , who insisted on trying all of ours) But so many other good ones.... Service is really friendly and warm and even our ASD son, who really struggles with strangers, was made to feel totally comfortable and, to our absolute delight and surprise, chatted away to the owners and even looked them in the eye! Says it all as far as I’m concerned 😃 See you next year Dwyer family xxx

My partner and I had read good reviews about this place online earlier in the day and after a spot of lunch, we wanted to see what flavours they had on offer. Due to Covid-19 limitations, there was only one person/small group allowed in at one time. We happily waited at the front of the queue for 10 or so minutes while the pair in front of us chatted away with the guy behind the counter - we were in no particular rush so didn't mind waiting. At the beginning there was no one else in the queue but by the time we entered there was one maybe two people also waiting. We went in, we said hello and just explained we wanted to quickly check out the flavours for when we come visit later in the afternoon. Immediately the guy behind the counter glared at us and then rolled his eyes, seemingly perplexed by our audacity to enter his store to see what was on show. He then proceeded to tells us indirectly, but in no uncertain terms, to get out of his store. We had been in there less than a minute. The sad thing is we were really excited to try the gelato later in the day. We were both left quite shocked at how rude and unwelcoming the man was. I would not recommend to anybody based on the service we had.

Perfect! Chocolate not too sweet. Plum amazing! Salted caramel delicious. Prosecco wow! Highly recommended

Yummy. Exceptional. So many delicious choices of ice cream. Sicilian Lemon and Pistachio ... lovely bedfellows. Awesome

In response to best bacon roll in 2019! After reading review my husband visited to purchase 2 bacon rolls while on holiday, I would have to say it’s the worst bacon roll I have ever tasted!!! My husband watched as the bacon was reheated in a micro wave and charged £7 for the 2 rolls! The bacon had no flavour, I could have soled my shoes with it and the roll was bland too!!! Extremely disappointed and would not recommend a bacon roll here!!!

I’m quite a fussy person when it comes to bacon, but this place knows how it’s done. As well as the hand baked rolls (practically warm from the oven) the thing that really nails it for me is; when one asks for crispy bacon they don’t simply turn up the heat -as most places do- they cook it low and slow for a really even taste. I can’t sing the praises of this cafe enough. Brilliant food and service. I encourage any bacon enthusiasts to come here.

Stephen knows it all .. we entered to get 1 scoop of chocolate .. walked out with 3 scoops and a tea. Stephen convinced me to try a sorbet when I told him I don’t like it .. I ended up buying a mango and passion fruit sorbet ... the children got the chocolate .. there was apricot ice cream too which was also very tasty ....

Amazing ice cream and helpful friendly staff. The ‘very vanilla’ was out of this world. Only disappointment was that there was no chocolate ice cream on the day we visited. Definitely worth a visit.

This is an amazing ice cream shop. The staff are incredibly kind and they gave me a free sample of mint chocolate chip. Love the ice cream.

Best ice cream ever. Lovely staff. If you visit ullapool, you must go there and eat some ice cream

Amazing flavours. Highly recommend the raspberry and elderflower sorbet. The nuget ice cream was excellent too.

Delicious ice cream made of interesting flavours. The ice creams really are top quality. Sea buckthorn was our favourite. Apparently the Romans’ survived on these berries when they first arrived! Really friendly service too.

We're slowly working through all the flavours. The service and the flavours are original and delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

Popped in for a decent coffee to take on my trip to Inverness. Blown away by the choice of bean. Said what I wanted and the owner prescribed.... Without a doubt the best takeaway coffee I’ve ever had. Excellent and Thanks!

terrific ice cream with various flavours available, generous serving parking outside, seating just outside too

As a pastry chef myself I felt very fortunate to stumble across Margots gelato shop, with flavours like Seabuckthorne and a new take on Italian amaretto as well as a blackcurrant sorbet that fizzed with the taste of summer, with blackcurrants from the owners garden! Then I was directed across to Margots cafe, I was delighted to chat to Margot about some of her favourite recipes, like a gluten free Sacher torte with a coconut twist, which she generously sliced into whilst we were chatting about her passion for travelling and sourcing inspirational favours. Thank-you for making me feel so welcome and for sharing your love of baking, it made my trip!

The white chocolate hot chocolate is out of this world, the food is amazing aswell, we will definitely be back!

Wanted an ice cream so opted for here, what a brilliant choice we made.My wife had scililian lemon and I had tangerine marmalade and rhubarb crumble.Both were absolutely amazing and tasty and excellent value for money.Had a short blether with the owner and got a potted history of how the business started.Fantastic just wish it was a wee bit closure to where we live.

Stopped in here for an ice cream come plenty of flavours to choose from, and a very helpful man serving behind the counter.

Brilliant gelato! Raspberry flavour, made with fresh raspberries grown by the owner was particularly good!

Pistachio and Highland strawberry are my favourite but it's all yummy, lovely Gelato.

I think this is the same place. The cafe is now separate from the ice cream parlour and is located on the first floor above the walking-equipment shop.

This is a fantastic ice cream shop. The staff are really nice. The ice cream is extremely delicious.

Fantastic Coffee, ices are nice too, did I mention the coffee it's excellent

Definitely worth a visit. Run by a couple (I think ) who have a real passion for their product which really shows. Not only was the ice cream delicious, we were even allowed to go off piste in terms of the menu when my sweet tooth other half wanted marshmallow in her coffee! I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd thrown her out but they were very nice and jokey about it. Next time we're passing by we will definitely stop in. Thank you

Popped in for a lunch to go as the window menu looked superb. Coffee was recommended and didn't disappoint. My partner had the Italian Roast Pork bun and I had a chicken salad box, not just any old salad, this was an absolute taste sensation. Will go back

Best coffee we’ve tasted for quite awhile and lovely friendly staff. We had a small taste of two of the ice creams (raspberry and honey) which were both delicious - raspberries came from owners’ own garden! Clearly passionate about their food - owner drives 90 minutes each way to go and get fresh organic salads from small farm near Drumnadrochit. A must if you’re in Ullapool although we were lucky to go there when we did as we discovered they close for a month from tomorrow (8 October 2018) - sad for us but hopefully they’ll get a well-deserved rest!

Called in for a quick coffee stop on NC500.Glad we did.Choice of 3 coffee blends-all excellent and great choice of cakes including gluten free.Ice creams looked good too.Dial in friendly staff as well so adds up to a definite recommend

Heard about this place from a waiter at the Kylesku hotel who told us the coffee was excellent as was the ice cream. So we decided to have both and believe me, this is best coffee I have had outside of Italy (and probably as good if not better) and although the coffee is not cheap it is well worth it. The ice cream is also superb! If in Ullapool do not miss this place.

Home blend coffee was delicious- we had a take away coffee- best in the highlands! Staff were lovely too. Cakes looked delicious

Amazing choice of flavours all made from a base of thick, rich consistency.

Wonderful find! Excellent coffee and sandwiches. Ice cream made on premises and has won awards after only one year of trading. Everything is hand made to order so not the place to run and run out with a sandwich. We spent a happy hour chatting with the friendly staff. We liked the philosophy of the place, which seemed to be: top ingredients prepared with love! PS Just seen the review below about bringing your own alcohol. The reviewer must be confusing this place with somewhere else, as there is no eat-in facility. Why would you want to bring alcohol into a take away coffee shop?

Oh my goodness, this ice cream!! It is seriously good stuff! Best I have ever tasted outside of Italy. So rich and creamy and tasty, I kept going back for more! I would eat this all year round, wouldn't care if it was snowing outside, its just scrumptious! Wish we had this down where I live. The people who make this homemade ice cream in the shop are so nice and friendly too, makes it all a real pleasure.

My wife has had ices at many places around the world and rates this shop. I'm not fussed but loved the ice she bought me. Try it.

A hot day, a weary traveller, refreshed by delicious home made ice cream. Says it all! Traditional flavours with some more unusual additions to the selection available. And a lovely smiling member of staff.

Home made brioche x 2. Excellent coffee x 1 (no, I mean really really good coffee). Sicilian lemon and pistachio (me) and lemon and Turkish delight (my daughter) on the brioches. And a son just eating the ice-cream. Lovely family atmosphere behind the counter - I gather the son-in-law brings the Turkish delight back from Turkey - is this a tall tale; I’d just love to believe it, but I am so gullible. Easily replaces the fallen boho gelato in my affections.

Great selection of ice cream. He told me they make it themselves. Distinctive and traditional flavours that have brilliant taste. They also have a range of salads and sandwiches. Who would have thought I’d find kimchi!

First class ice cream at reasonable prices. Banana and salted caramel were delicious! Well worth a visit when in Ullapool

Stopped in this morning hoping for just a coffee and walked out with two steamy, beautiful cappuccinos and some good advice that life is too short for instant coffee and that I could pick up a French Press just around the corner at the hardware store. Did that and went back to these kind folks for a bag of good ground coffee. Their gelato looked amazing - home made on premises - and their menu made me want to miss my ferry and settle in...

...cremoso e buonissimo, come non è facile trovare, che ci ha veramente stupito...giusto anche il rapporto qualità prezzo perchè con tre sterline e mezza si gusta un bella dose di bontà...

The ice cream is excellent although take away snacks and drinks are also available. I always try and get a cone when i visit the town. The raspberry is delicious.

Great ice cream from a lovely team I hear the bread is great too

Had a great gelato here Tasty home made and friendly service. They also serve coffee and filled rolls but we did not sample on this occasion. Will definitely best in mind if in the town. Much better ice cream than the chip shop

We had an amazing coffee experience when visiting Gelato – probably the best coffee in Scotland! Lovely people to chat to, and they were very happy to tailor their excellent salads to our wishes. Clive & Ros, Brighton

Probably the best coffee in Scotland! Lovely people to chat to, and they were very happy to tailor their excellent salads to our wishes.

3 of stopped for ice-cream and were very pleased that we did. Only 5 or 6 flavours, but all home made and with great flavours. We tried the very vanilla and the liquorice, both were bursting with flavour. When asked who made it the server said it was her and so we had a nice chat.

Home made ice cream and delicious sorbets and non-dairy ice cream alternatives for vegans, along with other delicious products, what a find!

Located just behind the car-park for the ferry terminal ... and worth the 5 minute walk up the stairs to reach
