The food here was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. I was lucky enough to get fantastic weather so was able to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the fabulous views. Interesting heritage centre attached. Walkable from the ferry if you’re doing a day out - 1.5-2 miles from Achnacroish,where the Oban car ferry docks, and 4.3 miles from the little passenger ferry from Port Appin at the north of the island.

A welcome break after walking from ferry. Dogs not allowed inside but can be accommodated on large terrace complete with parasols to keep the summer rain off! We really enjoyed the baked tatties and panini. The Victoria sponge was excellent Very efficient service and would happily return

Highly recommended Café on Lismore Island. Excellent sandwiches, the best slice of Victorian sponge cake. Very laid-back Scottish highland atmosphere, friendly staff, wonderful tea and coffee. Highly recommended, about 20-25 minute walk from the ferry terminal.

Lovely cafe that we landed at after our tour around the island with Explore Lismore, who kindly made reservations ahead of time for our group of six adults. Most of us had soup, but a couple had sandwiches, and everything including the beverages were well presented and delicious. Staff was attentive and efficient and lovely to talk to.

This cafe and adjoined heritage centre was a joy to visit and broke up a very long yomp around this gorgeous wee island. I had the soup (carrott and potato) with beetroot humus sarnies together with a pint of Fyne Ales' Jarl and definitively the best Victoria Sponge Cake I've ever had...it took a while to get going again but this place is a must visit for anyone taking in Lismore!

Came to this cafe twice, once for lunch and for an ice cream pit stop. Each time we came we were greeted by a fabulous team of staff who are kindly spoken and offer fast service. For lunch, my partner ordered a ham and cheese panini with lismore chutney and I ordered the chicken burger. 100% recommend either options, the chicken was so tender and delicious. The ice cream and homemade bakes are a must, you cannot leave without trying. My partner was lucky to get the last salted caramel and whisky ice cream which was yummy! Very popular too, so be quick. There is two attractions attached to the cafe, a museum along with a black house cottage and gift shop. The museum is filled with information about the history of lismore ranging from early human life, christianity, farming and domestic equipment and the lime stone industry. The cottage next door replicates what life was like for the poorer islanders in the 19th century. Their is gaelic dialogue played as you explore the cottage, I do wish there was information displayed explaining what was said. The gift shop is filled with local arts and crafts, homemade candles, soaps, coasters and tea towels. We both loved the cafe and the museum and recommend others to visit!

Visited the cafe today for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! Some things ordered by our group were the ham, cheese and Lismore chutney panini, the tomato and mozzarella panini, the soup, and the halloumi burger (among others!). All were delicious and everyone cleared their plates. Staff were so friendly, despite the cafe being super busy! I am also currently on a meal replacement diet and some places don’t like me eating anything that isn’t ordered from there. The Lismore cafe staff could not have been more accommodating, providing me with boiled water so that I could have my food alongside my friends. I can’t wait to return to Lismore and pay another visit to a really excellent cafe!

I rarely order soup. But today was an exception because I'd had a large breakfast. I am VERY pleased with my experience. The butternut squash soup was full of flavour and nice and thick - I like a chunky soup. The croutons were infused with sage which totally complemented and elevated the taste sensation. Topped off with snipped chives and a chive flower which meant it looked as gorgeous as it tasted. I couldn't resist trying the espresso ice cream....I've eaten ice cream in Italy and this was definitely up there with the best. Washed down by a gorgeous latte. The whole team who work there are so friendly and welcoming. The prices are very good considering the quality of the food and that it is a remote island. I can't wait to go back and sample the burger (local beef). But I will make sure I have an appetite to do it justice. Thank you for the best introduction to Lismore.

Highlights of their holiday for wee boys 4 and 8 yrs.An excellent hub on the Island and the gift shop sells the amazing chutneys and drizzle oils that they serve in cafe. So I stocked up.Well worth a visit The museum also was a hub of information to let us understand what we could visit We all enjoyed the history and the house next to the museum set up as folk lived.We shall return with our other grandchildren

We took a short ferry ride to Lismore from Port Appin. Cycled a blustery and pleasant 3.5 miles to the cafe. Had a warm welcome despite the current pandemic, ate a tasty and carefully prepared lunch which was rounded of with the most delicious ice-cream experienced since a trip to Le Pouliguen many years ago. Our only regret was not being able to safely stow away a piece from one of the marvellous cakes on display, for our return journey. Thoroughly recommended.

I arrived on the island, and was feeling it was a little lacking compared to the Glencoe area I had travelled from. I had cycled the 3 miles from the ferry and was thinking about returning on the next ferry, However visiting the café turned my visit round. We had gone purely for coffee, but with lovely cakes on display we were easily persuaded and each had a gigantic slice of cake, and it really was as good as it looked. We were wishing we had not brought a packed lunch as the menu looked very appetising. The staff were very friendly and I enjoying chatting to them and hearing more about the place. Having had such a great experience we ventured further south on the island which turned out even better, with lovely views over the western isles. We ended up spending 5 hours on the island.My earlier view of the island was certainly not bad, but after a visit to this café I felt completely lifted, and my whole memory of my visit is a good one.

If you read the book Freakonomics you can see what I mean - there is only one cafe on an island so they won't have to try that hard right?? Wrong because this is a really great cafe.

A trip to the Isle of Lismore on a sunny Wednesday in August brought us to the Isle of Lismore Cafe by bike. The specials were Langoustine and we just couldn’t resist. While the Hebridean Burger with Haggis was off the menu the cheeseburger I had instead was delicious. But - back to the Langoustine - they were cooked perfectly and very generous portions - we were lucky to get them as they had gone through 200 in the last 24 hours. The resident seafood judge in the family thought they were excellent.The Service was superb and we were well looked after by the team who made us all feel welcome and let us make ourselves at home before the cycle back. Magnificent views - I really recommend a visit to Lismore just to experience the cafe if nothing else!

There's fantastic home made ice-cream and sorbet too. Been a few times on our holiday - there is always at least one vegan cake (I've sampled two - a raspberry sponge and a coffee cake), as well as victoria sponge, scones, brownies, bakewell slices etc. All the classics. Absolute must visit if you've been working up an appetite walking or cycling around the island. Also excellent coffee (plant milk option for vegans)The cafe also serves really good hot food - though more limited choice if you're a vegan (however the chips are excellent, always a promising sign!).Although the cafe usually shuts at 4pm, during peak season it's open till 9pm on Monday and Wednesdays and seems to be trialling a Friday night special most weeks - also a 9pm finish, with a focus on gourmet burgers, fish and chips or curry, depending on the Friday.

we travelled to the island on a sunday from Port Appin due to the infrequency of the Oban service. This berthed at the northern end of the island and we cycled all the way to the south stopping at the cafe on the way and back. We had coffees and cake both times but the bar food looked excellent and was reasonably priced. We enjoyed the cycle and the views from the south of the island towards Oban were spectacular. The spine road is in the middle of the island with limited views. The cafe is a must when you are on the island and we would recommend.

We arrived by ferry to a notice saying that dogs must be constantly on a lead or would be shot! We walked with our trained gun dogs on leads up the tarmac road with high fences on either side, it felt like walking down a fenced corridor. Three and a half miles and nowhere to stop even for a few minutes. Farmgate the only option. Cafe was fine, brought lots of water for the dogs, agreed there was a farmer who was aggressive to dog owners. Food was OK, museum is also. very good but neither made up for the thre and a half miles.back down the fenced corridor, dogs on leads. We will not be returning.

This cafe was ideally situated at the half-way point on our 10 mile hike around the north of the island (taken from walkhighlands, for those that are interested). It was a hot sunny (and midge-free) day so we were able to sit outside. There's a really good choice of soup and sandwiches, paninis etc, for such a remote location and the modern building, with its little shop selling craft items, and exhibition space telling the story of the island is very stylish. The adjacent croft, set up to display the simple living conditions of many years ago, makes an interesting contrast.

The cafe is open just 2 hours per week, on a Tuesday, in the winter. I was lucky enough to discover it within that 2 hour window, and enjoyed delicious homemade quiche, cake, and filter coffee alongside what felt like half of the island's residents in a bustling environment. It seems to be staffed by volunteers. A wonderful experience - I feel lucky to have happened upon it, the right place at the right time, and would recommend a visit for tasty refreshment. Toilets and a small shop are also located within the building.

We had a wonderful family lunch here during our cycle trip around Lismore. Soup and bread were lovely, as were the milkshakes. Highly recommended.

After a leisurely two hour walk, we came upon this amazing museum/Cafe. We all selected a variety of food, homemade tomato and herb soup, delicious tuna salad, egg salad, and a cheese and chutney sandwich. We also had a cheese platter with oatcakes and wonderful tea. They offered a variety of fresh baked goods but we had no room for dessert. We did take away a loaf of carrot and sesame seed bread and 6 farm fresh eggs for our breakfast. The staff were friendly and chatted with us for the longest time. If you are planning to visit the Isle of Lismore, the cafe is a must stop.

Friendly staff , great service, creamy milkshakes, yummy panini, delicious tuna rolls, excellent coffee and the tastiest soups we've ever eaten. If you walk up here on a day that Leek & Potato with Lismore pepper sausage is on the menu - you are blessed indeed!

この島にある唯一の飲食店です。パブもなければレストランもありません。サイクリングで島をめぐり、最後の休憩時に寄りました。ホームメイドのケーキがとても美味しかったです。カフェは高台にあるので、眺めもいいです。お土産屋さんも隣接しています。恐らく、この島へ行った人は必ず立ち寄る所じゃないでしょうか?

Yes you will pay slightly more than average but this is matched by the superb quality of the food sold. We cycled down from the Port Appin Ferry and it was worth the visit. The cafe is located in an excellent situation with great views from the veranda. We noted elsewhere reports suggesting the cafe had closed. This is incorrect as it changed hands at the end of 2015. The accompanying visitor centre and black house is also worth a visit.

This quaint wee café is a welcome break when you are walking on this lovely west coast island. Staff are so charming and very friendly, if a bit disorganised, adding to its charm! Soup and roll a delicious treat as was the warm just out of oven baking! We came onto the island with the passenger only ferry from Port Appin Sails on the hour and returns 15 mins past the hour. Great place to walk if in the Oban area

This charming wee café appeared like a mirage in the middle of this beautiful island and turned out to be the ideal watering hole for our day's visit. We enjoyed delicious scones, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate meringes and other home bakes along with our afternoon tea and cappuccino. The service was warm and friendly and we would certainly recommend stopping off here if you're visiting Lismore.

I visited the cafe whilst on a round island walk and got takeaway as I had my dog with me. Huge piece of delicious cake, cup of tea and a cold drink all for less than £5. The staff were incredibly friendly and brought fresh water out for my dog.Great cafe, will be back.

Nowhere else to eat on Lismore but this is good enough! Very pleasant outside balcony area although a little cramped inside. Scones, buns, cakes, toasts etc. A little pricey but of good quality with friendly service. Small and informative heritage museum next door and a reproduced black house. Well worth the walk or bike ride from the ferry.

This cafe makes some of the best scones I've ever eaten. There aren't many dining options on Lismore (actually there's only this one), but I would go here even if there were competing establishments. Friendly service and right in the heart of the island on the main road.

Walked from ferry to this cafe halfway down the island. Beautiful walk past old church with a chap restoring medieval grave stones.The cafe has a nice deck to sit on, it was a lovely autumn afternoon, but the sandwich my husband had was not very good, expensive at just under £7.00, bread dry, no butter to hold it all together and cheese orange processed stuff...why no proper Scottish cheddar, Mull is a hop away ?The raspberry scone was a different matter, lovely fruity moist cake.Was all in all expensive, coming in at over £15 for a sandwich, scone and 2 teas.

I call it Debbie's place - you'll know it when you see it! - said several of the locals on Islay. A large group of us visiting the island had spent the morning dotted across it doing various different activities. I'd asked in the brilliant Islay Natural History Trust where locally we could grab lunch and was directed to the Bruichladdich Mini Market. The place itself is run by Debbie, her mum and her sister. It's the ort of place that is the lifeblood of islands the world over - half grocery shop, half cafe - all welcoming. Debbie's sister was in charge when a group of 15 of us rocked up unannounced. This would normally not have been a problem - plenty of outside seating - but that particular day the ferry had been cancelled, along with much of the stock for the shop and cafe. Undeterred the staff there made us feel welcome and pulled together a lunch which went down very well with all - children and adults alike. Think sandwiches and toasties with great coffee and a good choice of cold drinks. They also serve some amazing cakes - I'm told the rocky road was fab, I know the chocolate cake was! Although initially under pressure when we all turned up, the staff seated us happily and we had all eaten within about 15 minutes of arriving.

This was a last minute booking because we were running late. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and the food was fresh and piping hot we had chille and it had a lovely heat just after eating it nothing to strong. We had apple crumble for dessert this was made fresh as the dishes were super hot but also amazing tasting will be beck next time am up this way.
