We (my other half, my daughter and I) had a quick coffee break this afternoon: I ordered a red velvet mini-cake, my daughter a carrot mini-cake, and she had a flavoured water while I ordered a flat white and my other half a caffelatte with cinnamon on top. Everything went well, though the caffelatte had no cinnamon but chocolate powder and my flat white had no steamed milk on top, just very flat. Lovely view and staff were nice. Francesco

My daughter and myself came here for lunch. My daughter ordered a cheese and chutney sandwich with soup and paid. I ordered a sweet chilli chicken toastie and soup. While I was ordering the girl behind the counter told my daughter she could wait outside and they would bring it to her. My daughter explained that she was just waiting for me. We took a seat outside. My daughter's food was brought to her just a few minutes later. A paper bag with the sandwiches in it and a paper cup of soup. The menu said the soup and sandwiches should be served with some side salad. She wanted to wait for my food to arrive before starting. We waited for about 10 mins then I went in to check where my food was. I was told it was ready but they couldn't see me outside so just brought it in and left on the counter. The girl behind the counter put it back in the toastie grill for a couple of minutes and whacked it into a paper bag. Again no salad! When I got my food I went outside and we both started to eat. The minute my daughter removed her sandwich from the bag you could see the cheap margarine in it. More margarine than cheese. She wasn't asked if she wanted spread on it. My daughter only eats butter and cannot stomach margarine. She tried to scrape off the spread but it was slapped on so thickly that it was everywhere. She took one bite but it was so disgusting she couldn't stomach it. I just think it shouldn't be assumed that anyone wants a pile of cheap margarine on their sandwich. You should be asked. My food was just average. Looked like a cute little seaside cafe but unfortunately not. Very basic food and poor customer service. Definitely won't be back and wouldn't recommend.

Absolutely awful service. I sat down at their outside table whilst my husband went in to order our lunch. Firstly the 2 tables that were empty were not cleared. A member of staff said to my husband they were not serving customers as they had ran out of essentials and pointed him to the next door cafe. The cafe next door shares the same area of tables. The same staff member then came over to me and said I could not sit at the table and I’d need to move somewhere else to sit as they were not serving customers. I was so taken aback I got up and went to say to my husband in the cafe next door. At this same time a couple came out of the cafe next door and sat at the table I was just moved from but no one came out and asked them to move, although they did not purchase from the little bay cafe.

We visited the Little Bay Cafe, 23/4/2024 while visiting Oban, we have been before on a previous visit, the staff are very friendly and the food was very good, the portions were very good and the food was reasonably priced, I would recommend a visit if visiting Oban.

Little Bay Cafe is as cheery as its lemon-yellow exterior. Joy, the owner, made us breakfast sandwiches and coffee, which we enjoyed on the patio overlooking the boats in the bay. What a delight! This was our first time in Oban, and we were thoroughly charmed by the place and the people! Thinking of extending your stay? Ask Joy about her newly renovated flat just around the corner. Gorgeous!

Wir sind durch Zufall aufs Little Bay Café gestoßen und mochten es auf den ersten Blick sofort. Viele Einheimische waren dort und man hat sich direkt zugehörig gefühlt. Der Service ist sehr nett, schnell und das Essen wird frisch zubereitet. Das Café bietet Sandwiches, Bagels, Suppe & Co. an. Zum Frühstücken vielleicht nicht unbedingt geeignet, aber wenn der kleine Hunger kommt und man mal eine Pause einlegen möchte, dann ist es perfekt.

Preguntamos si podíamos sentarnos a desayunar, sin cortesías de los 4 miembros del personal detrás del mostrador. Se le dijo que se registrara para rastrear y rastrear y se señaló en la dirección de dónde sentarse: "sentarse allí". Pedimos un rollo de tocino y un escocés completo con una taza de té y un plato blanco. Ambos juegos de tocino debían estar crujientes y la morcilla se debía quitar y reemplazar con un huevo frito adicional. Mientras nos atendían, no hubo interacción con los camareros, literalmente vinieron y pusieron cosas en la mesa. No hubo comunicación, interacción, cortesías con el personal detrás del mostrador: el ambiente era tenso. Cada cliente que se acercó al mostrador fue recibido de la misma manera cortante. Llegó el desayuno - todo se había apilado uno encima del otro - claramente la presentación no era un punto fuerte. ¡Fue en esta etapa que nos dimos cuenta de que el escocés completo NO incluía una tostada! ! ! No preguntamos porque queríamos salir lo antes posible. El tocino estaba lejos de estar crujiente y tuvimos que diseccionarlo para eliminar la grasa gelatinosa. La "mantequilla" del rollo era una especie de pasta para untar en lugar de la mantequilla real, por lo que no se derretía y simplemente cubría el tocino, no era agradable. La mejor parte del desayuno fueron los huevos, pero sin tostadas para absorber la yema. El café sabía a leche caliente, el té estaba bien. El personal marcó la pauta: hostil, antipático, brusco. La comida reflejaba esto. No lo recomendaría.

Nos sentamos afuera para comer tostadas, que estaban bastante bien, pero el servicio no fue muy amable y un poco lento. Inicialmente nos sentamos en la mesa inmediatamente fuera de la cafetería, pero nos mudamos a una más alejada ya que la cola para la heladería de al lado nos estaba rodeando y muy cerca, lo cual era desagradable y no se sentía seguro en estos tiempos de covid. No puedo creer que la cafetería no le haya pedido a la heladería que dirija la cola a otra parte, ya que debe evitar que los clientes potenciales vean la entrada, y mucho menos se dirijan al pedido. Entré para preguntar si tenían retrete, me ignoraron hasta que hablé y luego me dirigí con mal humor a los retretes públicos en el muelle cercano. El sol, la vista y la comida estaban bien, incluso bien, pero el personal redujo la experiencia en general. Probablemente no volvería a ir.

We went for lunch on Friday 17th July and have never come across such rude members of staff. The cafe was busy after months of lockdown but the two female staff seemed to find customers an inconvenience - they were very abrupt and had run out of popular lunch choices. The cafe was supposed to be open until 5pm but they decided to shut at 3pm and were turning customers away. There are nicer cafes in Oban with much nicer staff who would appreciate your custom. We were very surprised to be treated in this way, especially since the cafe has been shut for over 4 months. On health and safety, the two staff members had no masks, no gloves, no hand sanitiser, and did not ask for details for track and trace. This is unacceptable during the coronavirus pandemic and this is the only cafe we have visited without any measures in place.

Llevamos más de 20 años de vacaciones en Escocia y nunca tuvimos una mala experiencia en cuanto a restaurantes, tiendas, etc. No es así en esta ocasión. No sé si el personal tuvo un mal día, pero esto no disculparía la forma en que nos trataron.Un amigo y yo fuimos a hacer nuestro pedido. Mi amiga no podía tener ningún producto lácteo y no especificó mantequilla en su sándwich, las otras dos órdenes fueron con mantequilla. La joven detrás del mostrador lo bajó. Salimos a nuestra mesa y esperamos. La comida llegó pero solo para dos personas, así que entramos para ver qué había sucedido. Solo tenían dos órdenes registradas y parecían un poco desconcertadas. Se quedó con ellos y volvimos a salir y esperamos.Un miembro del personal salió y nos informó que eso no podía servirnos, ya que estábamos sentados en el lugar equivocado, a pesar de traer dos comidas antes y no señalar esto. Creo que esperaban que nos fuéramos en este punto, pero uno de nuestro grupo vio otra mesa y nos mudamos. Cuando se cumplió la orden que faltaba, se hizo de una manera hosca. Fue una experiencia perturbadora para ser sincero. Si hubo un error con la orden, no hay problema, ocurren errores, pero tratarnos así no era apropiado. La orden no fue complicada, pero la persona que la tomó no hizo caso.

For the last four years we have gone to the Little Bay Cafe for a hearty breakfast on the Saturday morning of the Oban Live Festival weekend. Usually after a brief wait we are able to get seats outside in the sun () and order the mandatory full cooked breakfast. It never disappoints. The staff are extremely friendly and albeit we arrived about 1145 am this year, they were able to provide a superb breakfast that set us all up for the rest of the day; they even went and sourced a candle to produce a “birthday” scone type creation for my wife’s birthday!!!! If you wanted somewhere to sit and watch the world go by, in magnificent surroundings whilst eating some splendid food, I could heartily recommend spending some time at the Little Bay Cafe.

I visited this cafe with my husband, my son & 2 grandchildren-we sat outside & enjoyed the view but the food was very disappointing & the toilet facilities were awful. My chowder soup was thin & salty & a small portion & the toasties were dry-everything was overpriced. We had to ask what an empty bowl was provided for as they had forgotten to fill it with crisps. The children needed to use the toilet which we discovered is unfit for public use, when this was pointed out the staff member said it was only meant for staff use-no toilet paper, filthy & many hazards-unfit for staff & public!

Popped in here for some morning coffee and asked for decaf coffee. Asked if the coffee was fresh ground ie not instant (for some reason people think it is ok to give you an instant coffee when you ask for decaf). Was told not only was it not instant but they gave double shots. Excellent went outside coffees appeared. Ohh I thought this doesn’t taste like fresh coffee, it tastes like Mr Nescafé made this one. Went back inside asked is this instant coffee yes sorry it is, got my money back £5.20. What a waste of time. The flat white was also pretty bad as well. Don’t be fooled by an Illy sign.

Sitting outside in the sun made this place quite ok. The staff could be more friendly though, and their toilets are horrible.

Visited this little cafe for the second time bringing a couple of friends, the cakes are delicious and all freshly baked, I had the carrot cake which was very moist and my friends had lemon sponge, it was so tasty we got 2 slices to take away, there were 2 members of staff working both very friendly and chatty and very helpful with our 101 questions, will defiantly be back.

Very fresh and tasty lunch. Crab sandwiches really good. Nice friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. Quite small and no toilets except the public ones at the pier. All the food looked good.

We had hot chocolate and cake here, although the cake/brownie wasn't brilliant. Sat outside in the sun (very nice), but apparently no loo - but a decent public one within about 50 yards.

Llegamos a tomar un café y un pastel, el personal fue muy atento y los pasteles y pasteles bien presentados. El café era excelente y, junto con un trozo de Granola, hizo una parada refrescante y con una vista del ajetreado puerto y del puerto de ferrys. Recomendaría a todos a pasar por cuando en Oban.

The staff is very friendly and there is a nice selection of cakes. I tried a white spongy one that was pretty good. The coffee was average and a bit slow in being prepared. Generally busy place.

Beware and count Your change!! Got peppermint and English breakfast in paper cups. Was charged £5. When I checked prices on the wall it clearly says £1.7 for paper cup tea and £2.5 for teapot. I went back and questioned the total, was told I had herbal teas and they are £2.5. No, I had EB and peppermint. Oh, ok, right. Was refunded 80p. When asked where it says herbal teas are £2.5 (it doesn’t say anywhere, all teas are the same price) I was told we sat at table outside so it’s £2.50 anyway. Not the point - they didn’t know we may sit outside when selling paper cup tea for the price of teapot one. Very dishonest and cheeky, not the way to run a customer focussed business.

Lovely place, in the city centre, tables outside. We enjoyed the windy but sunny day sitting on a table at the Little Bay. It was quite busy, we got an espresso coffee and some sweets. The espresso should change name, that was only coloured water. The carrot cake was delicious. The view is gorgeous, the seafront and the sea....

Vine aquí con mi familia. Encantador y limpio, con un personal amable y una buena selección de platos y pasteles. Lamentablemente tuvimos que irnos (¡lo siento!) Y nunca pudimos probar nada después de darnos cuenta de que solo cobraban efectivo (solo teníamos una tarjeta de crédito). Volveremos a probar la comida en nuestra próxima visita!

On a sunny day one can enjoy the bay view and warmth of the sun. The fresh baked goods are a delight to the nose. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

This is what a cafe should be in my view. Great workies great coffee and grub with an added bonus of freshly baked lemon drizzle cake. The cake was worth the 5 stars alone!

Nous avons essayés tous les petits café de cette baie. Le meilleur nous semble être le Dolce Vita mais ils ont tous une petite particularité. Les gens sont tous très accueillants.

In our opinion not recommended The location is ok, right in the center. Some of the hotel's own parking spaces are in front of the door We didn't like anything else in this hotel. It was probably the worst hotel on our entire UK trip. We booked a better room with a view. I don't want to know what the standard rooms in this hotel are supposed to be like, but the room we got was dark, very worn and very dirty. Even though the relatively friendly manager at the reception assured us that it was the best room in the hotel, we don't want to believe him: firstly, because it would be a real shame for the entire hotel, and secondly, because it's not true: us We've already seen that there were rooms facing the sea in the same category, where it certainly wasn't as loud. And our room had a window facing the promenade with several bars and cafes, so it was very loud until late at night

Best part: rice is available Worst part: butter chicken tastes sweet, like coconut, like a pumpkin soup. With pieces of chicken floating in watery broth. As an asian tourist, i recommend you come here only if you need some rice in your system

Food was of a high standard and reasonably priced. The mussels were the biggest and plumpest I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend although they do add a service charge on to the bill automatically, irrespective of the size of your party. It's a bit presumptuous, but i assume you can ask for it to be taken off.

Great ice-cream parlour! Lots to choose from! But it's overpriced for what it is frozen water and flavour can't be expensive! To make but it's alright I would recommend this place more than "vanilla" next door 🚪
