Jann's Cakes in Highland

Stopped by for some treats and will definetly be back to take some home with us as gifts for family! So tasty and so beautifully decorated!

Thank you so much for doing gluten free AND dairy free cake! I had the rocky road style biscuit cake and it was delicious and a very generously sized slice! A lovely variety of gorgeous cakes, chocolate and fudge and very friendly staff. I must say after ordering I was very shocked at the prices of everything though. £20 for two slices of cake and a meringue is a lot of money.

I’m sure when you visit Skye in November you risk not seeing it at it’s best. Today it was windy and wet. When it rained heavily it was ghastly. Nevertheless we toured about. The unfriendly Talisker Distillery was bearable but the complete lack of open cafes wasn’t. Yesterday we toured the north of Skye. Nothing was open. So finding Jenn’s open for business was a welcome treat. The soup, sandwiches and Ecclefechan tart were all spot on, as was the coffee. Bought a few chocolates as well. It is great to see cafes like this prepared to stay open to serve visitors and they need our support. Strongly recommend.

Had a few days in Dunvegan and the highlight was definitely the cakes from Jann's. All fabulous and fuelled a number of walks (giant organic rock cakes for breakfast). Well worth a visit!

Lovely owners & good cake & coffee. Planning to return to try some Caribbean curries. There were 2 specials on the board - one Caribbean & one Scottish. Carrot cake was delicious!

Carrot cake So huge I couldn’t eat it all. Light, fluffy with delightful topping. What a delightful shop, although queue v slow.

They take time to deal with each customer as individual. Super friendly, inviting and relaxed. The cakes are amazing, they also do coffees, and takeaway meals for you to warm up at home. Fantastic selection .

Lovely little find of a cake shop. Good range of treats with some savoury options top although didn't try these. It had a reasonable queue when we visited but it was worth the wait.

At first I thought £20 for a goats curry was steep to say the least. And then I ate it. My god this was the best curry I have ever had! I would pay £20 again. If it helps one serving was plenty for two. You won’t be disappointed.

London prices in a roadside hut on the Isle of Skye.Curry was phenomenal, can’t fault the food at all. Prices are outrageous, even if the portion size was adequate £20 for a curry the husband reheats out the freezer is unprofessional. Talk about milking the tourists!

What a find. The quality of food and presentation extremely high and tasty. Out of the way and I was expecting a sandwich. What a treat. Would go back to skye just to have another ham sandwich.

What a fabulous find!Jann’s goat curry was absolutely delicious a great take away to have in our motorhome on nearby campsite.We also had her treacle tart with orange rind and cream to go with it.A real treat- high level organic cooking.Jann and her husband couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful.Do not miss her delightful shop if in Dunvegan on Isle of Skye .Val and Cliff Edwards

We queued up on a rainy sunday for some cake - and it was definitely worth it.Yes - it might be expensive but you get twice the size of cake that you would get anywhere else!We had a chocolate muffin and blueberry slice.Service was a little slow - but then I think people take ages choosing as there was LOTS of choice.

Stumbled across this place when looking for a takeaway lunch in Dunvegan. It was a gem of a find. We had sandwiches and sweet treats that were worth every penny.

...and you pay for what you get. Don’t come thinking you’ll get a cheap cake/chocolate. You won’t. What you will get is some delicious confectionery created and served by a very polite couple. My wife had a slice of plum tart, I had a muffin with so many calories I’m not allowed to eat for 4 days - and it’s all made with organic ingredients. For a one-off treat it was worth every penny.

There was a short line of people when I arrived but it was worth the 10 minute wait and it's obvious why this little shop is popular! 2 counters of cakes and a menu of delicious hot drinks and food made it difficult to narrow down my choice. Shopping for 2 I opted for lemon meringue pie, salted caramel chocolate cake, a baileys truffle and Skye sea salt fudge which were all scrumptious! The staff were lovely and didn't rush me either. If we didn't already have dinner plans I would have been tempted by the carribean curry's on offer which sounded excellent.Jann's was a tasty treat worth the price for the hard work which clearly goes in to making their food.

People reviews say it is expensive and not worth it. I do agree that it is expensive but if you get a professional level cakes and delicious hot food or even frozen one on the same one if you want to eat it later ( I have bought frozen as I drove 5 hours from Dunvegan). I stood in the queue for 20 mins (This shows how busy they are and why people like them) and got my food served with wonderful hospitality.I strongly recommend Jann's place for people who love delicious food and don't mind pay a little more then I would strongly recommend Jann's cakes!

Well worth a visit. The cakes are amazing!! The owners are lovely and I would recommend a you pop in if you are in the area.

I only stopped for a couple of sandwiches and a slice or two of cake. The sandwiches, though expensive (£8 a round) were excellent. The cakes were another matter altogether. The display looked so tempting ... a treat for the eye. It was difficult to decide, everything looked sooo good. Appearances can be so deceptive! I bought 2 slices of banoffee pie and one of “Bakewell” tart (you will understand the inverted commas later). The banoffee tart was very bland - good banana flavour but no sign of toffee, and the addition of some chocolate-coloured (but distinctly un-chocolatey tasting) topping definitely did not add anything. The pastry was soggy and the whole, huge portion, tasted as though it had been sitting on display overnight at the very least. Ditto the “Bakewell tart”. Apart from a pleasant sprinkling of almonds on top, the frangipane has no almond taste at all. Little was resemblance to any Bakewell tart of my acquaintance. All told, 2 rounds of sandwiches and 3 slices of cake - a whopping £33 !! Once bitten, twice shy .... don’t be taken in by the pretty display, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

We visited Jann's Cake Shop on a recent visit to Skye. We each tried a different cake and they were all absolutely amazing. There is a great selection of cakes, traybakes and biscuits available and they also do hot food as well. Our cakes were some of the best we've had and very generous portions too. We had plum cake, rocky road and a bakewell type cake. You can see the passion that goes into this wee business from a hardworking team. We are so glad we made the trip as it was well worth it - thank you Jann!

Food OK. Value for money not good. Very overpriced for take away frozen food. The small choice of establishments in Dunvegan has led to this one somewhat taking the Mickey!

What a find. We stopped here after visiting Dunvegan Castle. Everything is freshly made, so you have to wait, and it is not cheap, but the best chocolate brownie I have ever eaten. Everything looked gorgeous. Large portions of cake. We shared the chocolate brownie, and have I piece of Bakewell tart for tomorrow to share. They also had a range of soups and casseroles. Gorgeous.

Very unfriendly staff. I went in to have a look and was shouted at for not wearing a mask. I have severe asthma and a heart condition so can't always wear one. I was no where near the 1 person in the shop I am totally aware of the situation at the moment but staff should have nit been so judgemental. If I can wear a mask I do.

15 out of 10 for the Blueberry cake and now looking forward to the goat curry when I get back to campsite... What an amazing little find in the middle of nowhere 😂🐐👍

Jamaican Goat Curry. On Skye? At first sight this looked pricey (£20) for a two people takeaway but we were hungry and couldn’t be bothered cooking on a typically wet and windy Skye day. We shouldn’t have worried, it was absolutely delicious, perfectly spiced and very filling. All ready in a few minutes from the microwave What a treat! Well done, good cooking.

What a find this place is! An amazing array of cakes, tarts and sweet treats... it was so hard to choose! The Belgian Chocolate and Mixed Berry Tart was to die for!!

The most amazing choice of cakes which look fabulous and taste as good. Large slices also as a bonus. Choice of curries and handmade chocolates. Extraordinarily mix and well worth a visit.

The cutest little cake shop with crazy portions that taste like heaven! One of the small businesses you should be supporting on the island. 🧁

Stopped here by chance after an afternoon exploring that area of the island. A tiny, charming cafe with a huge selection of extravagant looking cakes greeted us, making the decision definitely took longer than we did to eat them. So delicious! I opted for 2 smaller chocolate creations while my husband had a HUGE slab of chocolate and baileys fudge cake. The service was lovely with owners chatting away. Read some other reviews commenting on the price, we were £13 something for 3 cakes and 2 soft drinks - have paid far more than that in other places on Skye. Well worth it! Don't miss this place.

Great selection of food, cake, drinks and chocolates. Owner very friendly. Definitly worth a visit although can be busy so you may have to wait!

Fabulous lunch at Janns, we had the spicy crab soup which came with homemade buttered bread, exactly what was needed on a very cold and windy day. Run by genuinely lovely people and proper home cooked food that’s worth every penny. And new for 2020 is a card reader so no longer cash only. We will be back next time we visit the area :)

Det er et meget lille sted, men det er meget hyggeligt. Det er nogle dejlige økologiske kager de laver, samt server en skøn sort te.Priserne kan være lidt dyre, men jeg syntes at det var dét værd.

Jann’s Cakes is the real deal, take no prisoners foodies intermundial plane between heaven and earth. Good bless you

On a rainy, windy day in early January we were delighted to see the open sign on Janns Cakes!!Managing to get a window seat in the tiny cafe, we watched the rain tipple down as a steady steam of customers came and went to collect cakes and cookies. We had cappuccinos and a portion of Vegan Rocky Road which served two of us!! Great little spot on the road to Dunvegan Castle which is about 1 mile away, free parking on a public carpark overlooking the Loch and great service from Lewis and Jann!! We will be back to work through the rest of the cabinet of cakes!!

The staff were so lovely and provided a friendly service. Their delicious cake made a very soggy weekend soo much better.

After a wet winter walk to the Coral Beach we visited Jann"s cakes just before closing time. Lovely, friendly owners were happy to serve us and the cakes are fantastic. Coffee good too. Don't miss this place if you are ever in Dunvegan!

We came here due to recommendations of our guide and for coffee and cakes this is one of the best opportunities in the whole area. The cakes looked fantastic and also tasted like this. Yann is very friendly and helpful.

What a little hidden treasure nestled on the the beautiful Isle of Skye! Lewis and Jann who run the shop are a lovely couple who you instantly warm to straight away and there deserts are just something else.

We were amazed to find such a unique cafe on Skye. Superb and authentic soups and goat curry made by Jann and served by her friendly husband (a great team!). The cakes and chocolates are also of fantastic quality and variety. Looks expensive at first glance but quality and portion sizes are very generous so one cake slice will satisfy 2 normal appetites.

Muy recomendable para tomar un magnifico trozo de tarta .

1st visit to Skye to visit friends who moved to Skye 5 years ago so we had a good guides for the week and we were taken to Janns cake shop and cafe I had a Cheesecake with berry’s WOW. if you like home made cakes and tea and coffee in this lovely cafe this is a must and it’s just down the road from Dunvegan castle or the old bakery

We stumbled across this place on a search for coffee after a visit to the Coral Beach, and were blown away by the amazing choice of cakes and chocolates, all made by the owners and organic. Coffee was best we’ve tasted so far on Skye, really lingered in the mouth. Beware the huge portions - but environmentally friendly doggy bags available for takeaway!

Kleiner aber feiner Laden mit kleinen Snacks und unglaublich leckerem Kuchen. Außerdem sehr nette Leute.

This spot is not to be missed! Albeit tiny, the offerings and quality will blow your mind. With enough seating for 8 people, the tiny cafe is cozy and friendly. The two staff members that were on worked impeccably together and were servings us and the eight other guests that came in and out while we enjoyed our lunch.

Super fein der Cappuccino und die heisse Schokolade. Zwei Stück leckeren Kuchen dazu alles frisch und delikat.

Un sitio espectacular, me podría haber comido todo lo que había en la tienda. Hacen unos sándwiches muy ricos, pero lo mejor son las tartas, mi favorita es la de queso con caramelo, la mejor que he probado jamás. No dejes de ir cuando pases por la zona!

Try the Smoked haddock chowder or the Spicy Crab and Prawn soup, both were excellent. The Lemon Meringue tart was a huge portion, easily enough to share with two forks. Not cheap but then everything is organic. A big thumbs up for this one.

How nice to find a place where such care is taken to produce beautiful homemade cakes and chocolates. The soup, sandwiches and curries look great too. Bravo!

Really amazing cakes. Expensive but worth the money E.g. Slice of salted Caramel chocolate fudge cake for £6. Some lovely things and cakes are changed often. There's also some curries and other dinners but didn't get round to trying those.

Che il locale sia dimesso è fuor di dubbio: se si passa davanti un poco velocemente, non lo si trova. Scoperto per caso all'ora di pranzo, mio figlio ed io abbiamo preso due ottimi panini al tonno, veramente molto buoni e con prezzi in linea con i prezzi si Skye (piuttosto alti, come in gran parte della Scozia. Il giorno dopo all'ora di pranzo eravamo da tutt'altra parte ed abbiamo deciso di tornare lì dove mio figlio si è sbafato una "Casserolle " di Venison (cervo), stufatio, molto buono. Io mi sono accontentato lì per lì di un panino al salmone (ottimo) però non ho saputo rinunciare a portarmi via una fetta di cheesecake al caramello salato che mi aveva già fatto venire l'acqolina in bocca il giorno prima (come gli altri dolci). É chiaro che abbiamo speso di più, ma spesa ampiamente meritata. Simpaticissima la ragazza (Jann?) che si occupa della cucina, aiutata da un ragazzo altrettanto simpatico.

We had a take away vegetable curry which was really really tasty. It was a little expensive, more than we would expect to pay but well worth every penny. Good sized portion and friendly, helpful staff

Das Jann‘s ist WIRKLICH klein - als wir ankamen, waren die wenigen Plätze von einer 5- und einer 4-köpfigen Familie belegt... aber das Warten hat gelohnt: ich habe noch nie einen so leckeren Blaubeer-Käsekuchen gegessen, einfach perfekt! Die anderen Kuchen, selbstgemachten Pralinen und auch die herzhaften Curries, Suppen und Brote sahen klasse aus. Alles wohl auch in Bio-Qualität. Das hat natürlich seinen Preis. Aber es hat sich gelohnt und wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hingehen!

Espectacular. Sitio pequeño al borde de la carretera. Dulces increibles de todo tipo: tartas, tambien cosas saladas, sopa, cafe. Pero lo que triunfa del local son los cakes. No dejes de pararte si pasas. La tarta de queso con caramelo: insuperable.

Came in January and wanted to call by again after having such lovely cake. We weren’t disappointed. Lovely coffee and cake along with friendly service on a warm Skye day.

NOTE: I would not write this review if Jann's Cakes responded on my complain (left over the phone) about the food poisoning.

Stopped here after reading a leaflet, and so glad we did. Far better options than the castle cafe up the road. The smoked haddock chowder was simply brilliant, and the cake and chocolate selection was fantastic. Everything was homemade, and the foods organic and either local or fairtrade. The prices reflected this. The only downside was that there were only 3 tables, which could fit about 7 people in total. We got lucky the first time, but when we tried to go for a second visit there was no room. We got some cake to take away instead. Parking was at the free public car park about a minute walk away.

Best meal I’ve had yet in Scotland! Try the curry. My husband enjoyed his toastie, too. Great service. And a yummy selection of baked goods and candy.

We would have happily spent £7 each on a great organic sandwich, but we were unfortunately disappointed. Because it was good weather and the place was slightly crammed we decided to take the sandwich out. Much to our dismay, the sandwiches came packed in polystyrene, the worst kind of non-recyclable plastic there is (trust me I've learned my lesson, bringing my own tubs anywhere from now on). The sandwich, though tasty, was not much more than what you can easily make at home. Otherwise a cute place and friendly staff, hopefully they'd reconsider their take away material.

Very small eating area serving good food, chocolates and cakes. Friendly service, recommend the haggis

Jann’s Cakes is a delightful little cafe and confectionary shop in Dunvegan. We stumbled upon it on our way to the castle and had a HUGE piece of the citrus cake plus coffee each. The service was amazing, so friendly. The menu looked pretty impressive, lots of local choices. Also when we arrived at the castle the car park was sooo crowded as was their cafe, so Jann’s was a great choice all round

Popped into this place for lunch. Had a toastie which was lovely and shared a scrumptious slice of cheesecake and tea for two. Made to feel very welcome. The food is not the cheapest but worth paying the extra for quality ingredients and truly home-made food. Would recommend.

We had a quick visit last week. We were made so welcome, and the cakes and chocolates available were extensive and delicious!

Yes, as quite a number of previous reviewers Jann’s is expensive but the food, especially the cakes are worth it. Portion size is generous and the calorie count high. We had sandwiches and haggis both of which were delicious.

The food and cakes are great, but was most impressed by the owner and excellent customer service.

Split a toffee cheese cake slice with my husband that was a religious experience :). One of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.

We live in NYC and came to Skye for a weeklong holiday. We found ourselves at Jann’s twice, once for cakes and once for lunch. The food is wonderful, from the quality and freshness of the ingredients to the execution of each dish (we sampled four cakes, the fudge, the curry, and the soup). The dining experience was cozy and charming, keep up the great work!

We had shrimp soup for lunch (10£), but the portion was small and not so spicy. Ok though, and the pastry looked delicious, but expensive.

Small cafe, but inviting. Fantastic array of chocolates and cakes. Good choice for lunch from sandwiches and paninis to a full curry. Only 3 tables, with a very helpful waitress. Food was tasty; we had the mushroom soup and goat curry. Prices were probably comparable to other places, but they only take cash, so you would probably have to plan your visit and make sure you had more than plastic.

It's all about cakes & chocolate with a Caribbean twist aka Chilli.

Le lieu est très petit mais pas moins accueillant.

A small little take away restaurant with about 7-8 seats, we didn’t have lunch there just took a small bite to help us keep going it it was great. We had soups and sandwiches, they were all delicious and couldn’t resist trying the cakes which were yummy too! Couldn’t recommend more.

Great coffee and hearty and tasty cakes. Well worth a visit if you are in the Dunvegan area. The service was warm and friendly and the Rocky Road cake is a meal in its own right.

Had the banoffee cake, ate the banoffee cake, and there was much rejoicing! If you are on skye, you must stop here!

Called in for a cuppa as arrived too early to check in to our B&B.; Tried to resist the amazing cakes but failed, and so glad we did.....it was a hard choice to make but went for the carrot cake and it was delicious 😋

Popped in for lunch and was initially unsure because of the price. However, the goat curry and rice and peas were amazing and hearty. The handmade truffles are not only beautiful but taste amazing. The young woman who served us couldn't have been friendlier. To find food of this quality and home made does cost, but in mine and my partners opinion it was worth it. Having read some of the reviews who have complained about their food not being quite right when served - return and ask to have it put right.

Stopped in for late lunch in Dunvegan. Found Janns a quaint lovely tea room. Fab selection of cakes on offer though fancying something hearty went for the soups and curry. Turns out the hardest working member of staff is the microwave as it annihilated my curry to within an inch of its death and hardly defrosted my wife’s soup. Overpriced for what we got. Plenty of better places around Skye.

We had a lovely welcome and our server (assuming Jann) was very attentive. My husband was happy with his goat curry, I opted for soup of which there were a good selection. However, a microwave soon sounded and when I received my otherwise tasty soup it was neuked, and there was an icy part in it. Not one to complain and as it was good soup (and we were ravenous) I ate it. Our two glasses of tap water, a curry and a neuked soup came to £24! Won't be back as the prices are just far too high for what was delivered.

Haggis, tatees and neeps with whiskey sauce is one of the cheapest items on the menu at £8 didnt find any sauce on it. Cappuccino from £3.25 in a smallish cup not filled to the top. A slice of cake from £6 to over £7 for a slice... most main course lunch dishes are £15... underwhelming

We stopped in and were ready to order a number of items .... everything is organic and many items were vegan. Placed our order but then realized they didn’t take credit cards. All the locals told us that all the desserts are awesome.

Stopped for a coffee and some cake. Dogs not welcome, don’t take cards (in 2019!) and very over priced! £30 (with discount!) for 4 coffees 2 cakes and 2 truffles. Coffee was average at best. Cakes were ok, truffles good. A tray bake or brownie was £5.50, they were big, but no option to have a 1 person portion. £4 for a large cappuccino, most expensive coffee I’ve ever bought.

I purchased a takeaway chicken curry for £15, and some caramel truffles for £6 each. I expected the curry to feed at least 2 people, and be extra special, considering the price! But unfortunately it was just a very average curry no better than one from a jar. The caramel truffles were very nice, but ridiculously over priced!

We visited Jann’s cakes twice. Once for a much needed coffee stop on a freezing day, and we returned again for lunch.

Passing by we popped in for a coffee and a piece of cake. It was fantastic. What a range. I see loads of people complaining about the prices but for £5 my slice of rocky roads was huge. Funny that possibly those same folks would quite happily spend £5 on a cake bought in a large city but something homemade in not the most accessible location and suddenly it’s expensive!

Popped into here on our Christmas interlude trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owners (I guessed) were lovely, welcoming and accommodating given the space, and the food and the service were great. The West Indian influence is evident and the food is superb. I can see that others have commented on price but as a small business owner I know how hard and unrewarding it can be sometimes, so as long as everything else is good I’m truly not bothered. Well done folks!

We visited here with the family, sat down and ordered a coffee each with soup and a cake. To be honest I didn’t look at the prices which was my fault. When the bill came for 4 of us I nearly died. Way over the top pricing and it is just shear greed. Thus could be a great place to visit, but like all other reviews it is deemed as too expensive. I would give this place a miss and go elsewhere. The feeling of being ripped off supersedes the pleasantry of having some lunch.

Lovely if tiny coffee/cake shop. Portions may seem expensive but they are very generous and 1 piece of cake etc between 2 would be ideal. My coffee was strong and my ham sandwich freshly made and very enjoyable. Beautiful hand made chocolates etc.

I guess the amount of work that goes into providing great looking cakes does justify the prices, but the bill did come as a bit of a shock.

We came across this little place by accident, there were 4 of us and we got soups and sandwiches.......the soup was OK and sandwiches were OK but nothing out of this world......cakes looked nice together with the sweets but because of the cost we didn't try any and didn't get any drinks either!!!!

Souhaitant visitez le château qui était fermé ce jour, on se précipite à labri et on rentre chez Janns.

Amazing cakes and confectionery. Jann's also prepare frozen ready meals, particularly curries, and the West Indian Goat Curry was hot, tasty, and although expensive, worth it!

We stopped as the cakes had looked amazing through the window the day before! Served quickly (but order taken wrongly) and soup was good, the rest quite disappointing. Charged over £25 for two hot drinks, 2 soups and a cheese toastie. Toastie should have been a sandwich and I could have made better with my eyes shut!! Am normally one to find the best in things but there is better else where even on somewhere as small as Skye

We came across this small shop by chance when driving across Isle of Skye to the Dunvegan Castle. We were pleasantly surprised at the range and quality of food on offer both hot and cold. But the crowning glory are the many cakes and sweets on offer. Everything our group tried was delicious and the owner will provide frozen meals to take back to your holiday accommodation. This is a great place to stop for a cup of tea and a cake but please note the premises are very small. Ideally sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and the even fresher cakes.

We have seen this shop many times whilst on the Isle of Skye but never had time to stop by. They don’t take cards, so you have to go to the ATM in the store which charges for cash.

This wee cafe is worth visiting! Great cakes and home made fudge, it’s difficult to choose! Take away also possible.

Small restaurant with only one normal table, others face the window with a kind of bench seat, which is actually quite nice. Food was good, but menu rather dominated by curry it seemed. Did not try the cakes but they looked good. Overall we enjoyed our meal,

Typical Skye October weather, pouring rain, windy and cold. Stopped here looking for a hot coffee and got sooo much more. The cakes are fabulous - and enormous! Only downside is that it’s a very small venue but don’t let that put you off. I’ll need to try the ‘proper’ food next time we’re back

The soup was sensational and one of the best coffees I've had so far in Scotland. The friendly staff made a quick lunch stopover very pleasant.

We were recommended this place and it didn't disappoint Amazing chocolate brownie and very good coffee... Not cheap probably most expensive brownie ever but organic, fair trade and delicious

This is a quaint little place to get a bite to eat. There's not many seats enough for maybe 6/8 plus seating outside but they do take away too. There were 6 choices of soup, 4 of them were vegetarian possibly even vegan. Loads of main dishes, I think about 10.then there's the selection of cakes and little fancy chocolate treats and fudge pieces. Lots of organic food and vegan choices. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They only accept cash and the machine in the shop across the road charges £1.50 so come prepared with cash before hand. The reason for the 4 star rating is the price was slightly on the high side.

Very disappointed bought two cakes today to carry out when we got home discovered the chocolate cupcake was stale both cakes were very overpriced will not be back !
