Salty Dog Cafe in Argyll & Bute

Great little find. The food was beautiful and the atmosphere was homely. Friendly staff and dog friendly too. Lemon cheesecake and carrot cake were delicious. We will be back for sure. Thank you. Angela, Brian and Sasha the German Shepherd x

I wrote an honest review on trip advisor of my experience when at this cafe. It’s been removed twice as the owner doesn’t seem to like my honesty! I bought 2 slices of cake at this cafe and put pictures of them to show the size they sold me at £2.25 per slice along with my opinion of this! What’s the point of a review site with evidence from the reviewer if the owner can have a review removed. Attached 2 photos again of the cake. I gave the owner 2 opportunities to rectify this at the time, I commented on the size of the slice and the waitress wanted to take away the small piece of 1 portion and replace it with a very slightly bigger slice! I called the cafe to speak to the manager and she declined to come to the phone. I put up a fair and honest review, it was deleted, I put up another review, it was deleted. You could just do the decent thing and apologise instead of messaging me and name calling! I’m not a troll, I write fair and honest reviews check out my other reviews on that trip.

You never got an award for nothing!!!Your food is amazing and customer service is fantastic.Huge well done to you and your staff.Any complaints during the corona virus I notice are from people out with our area and also travelling around scotland breaking covid rules. Shame on them for SLATING any business.This wee cafe makes lochgilphead x

Heading to the Mull of Kintyre to play golf and the lads wanted a hot roll on the way so we decided to stop at the Salty dog , it was well worth it !!! 30 mins later we were on our way after having a lovely roll with sausage and bacon and hot coffees (Greedy , I know). They had a wonderful selection of home made baking and a great specials board which catered for everyone. Who I assumed was the boss was hard at it keeping her customers busy. If you ever in Lochgilphead try the Salty dog , you won’t regret it !

Lovely food, nice staff. Highly recommended, dog friendly cafe. Amazing service. Polish sousage soup was great.

What a little gem of a cafe! If you can try the polish sausage soup - one of the best soups ever. Service was wonderful. Thank you

This place hits the spot when you just want a nice lunch. Great service and lovely food. All at the right price too

So glad to find this gem of a cafe with indoor seating and very “covid-friendly“. The coffee was excellent and the cakes absolutely huge! And very very tasty. I only wish I lived nearby so I could be a regular!

Had a baked potato for lunch which was very good. The cappuccinos I had were as nice as I have ever had. Very friendly relaxed atmosphere and good service.

This is a small, basic, local cafe but dogs are welcome and the cakes are fresh. I had a scone which was still warm from the oven and was delicious.

Stopped here while in the area for a light bite. Friendly cosy cafe. Hot chocolate and home baking hit the spot!

Called in for a light lunch, which was simple but lovely, carrot cake amazing, also went for breakfast, I would have given full marks were it not for the French toast which is £6.50 with bacon, I requested without bacon but was charged the same price. Expensive for 3 half slices of bread dipped in egg. Fried egg roll £2.

What a lovely, clean and welcoming cafe. Enjoyed a beautiful toastie of goats cheese, roasted red peppers and walnuts washed down with a latte. Thank you for a lovely afternoon of peace and relaxation just reading ❤🥰❤

This is Lochgilphead’s go to destination for all dog owners. Dougal (see pic) even got a treat. Freshly prepared food in a clean environment with welcoming staff. 10/10.

A wee small cafe with nice rich tasty raspberry favour hot white chocolate. Nice scone as well. If you want a wee break, it worth to stop by.

Friday night in Lochgilphead - a Chinese, an Indian. a chippie and a hotel serving residents only ( although they said we could bring a chippie into their bar!)!! Thank goodness for the Salty Dog! Lovely food, well cooked and presented and well priced. But why were we the only customers? They so deserve to be busy! Dog friendly too,

We visited at lunch time, hubby had a baked potato with cheese and haggis, I had the french toast with bacon. It was nice enough. Dog friendly which was good for us. Very disappointed with the caramel ice cream milkshake, it was like something from the 70’s. Just milk with flavouring - no sign of the promised ice cream. White hot chocolate very weak. Waitress/ owner was very nice

Have just had lunch at the Salty Dog, Minestrone Soup (huge dishful) and baked potato with fillings and both were great. Good homely atmosphere with no frills and attentive staff. Great display of home made cakes - just wish I had room to taste them!

There were some lovely snacks on offer I had the houmous and pitta bread which was sufficient for a light lunch. The waitress was polite and helpful. The cafe was clean with a friendly ambience as we enjoyed a chat with other patrons at nearby tables. Island hopping around Scotland was discussed so we now know Harris is closed on Sundays.

On a wet Saturday in Argyll I took my daughter, her friend and Lola the labradoodle into this lovely wee cafe. The staff were really friendly, the food was home-made and delicious and our dog was made very welcome. I would thoroughly recommend this place.

Had pea & ham soup, ham toastie, Haggis nachos were a special and surprisingly good! Also had macaroni and cheese which was excellent.

We came here with our dog for some food and it was well worth the trip. Great service and lovely food. The prices were fair and they even offered the dogs in the cafe biscuits. Well worth a visit.

We had coffee and cake in the café on a trip to Lochgilphead. This café had good food, a friendly atmosphere and toys for children to play with. We enjoyed our trip here and will be back again

The lunch menu was good and I was delighted with the soup and service. However, the decor and toilet is in need of an upgrade as it lets down the food etc.

Stopped here on our way home for a cup of tea and homemade cheese scone. A very clean and well,organised establishment. Staff were welcoming and friendly, scones were really good.

Only caf in lochgilphead with comfy chairs. Delicious soya cappuccino and daily home made cakes, great breakfasts and light lunches.

We had a lovely visit here with our two mini naughty Dachsunds.

We stopped off for a coffee while waiting for urgent bike repairs at Crinan Cycles. Its not always easy to find a good cup of coffee but Satly Dog came up trumps accompanied by fantastic home made flapjack and a relaxed atmosphere.

Had a really nice cafe lunch. Coconut and Sweet Potato Soup followed by a "small piece of home made jaffa cake cake. Dogs got a bone and bowl of water on arrival. Friendly staff. Added to our stopping points for the future.

very friendly and chatty would highly recommend going there with your friends or even family. there service is very fast

Friendly and welcoming with a really good atmosphere. About the only place in the area where I have managed to get skinny late and not full cream milk which disagrees with me. The cakes are delicious and all home made. Great little place!

Went to the cafe for lunch with work colleagues and were not disappointed. Great value for money and very friendly. The cakes are homemade and and delicious. Definitely will be back, and soon :)

Have stopped once or twice for coffee here and have never been disappointed. Service is great and they make a mean cake.

Cheerful and friendly welcome, homecooked food, very good value. Well worth a visit if your passing through (like us) or live near. Many Thanks.

The staff are always friendly and cheery and the cakes are amazing -with some good free from options. Great to see somewhere open on a Sunday too :)

The food here is great and very yummy ! And the cakes are amazing even just to look at . The customer service is spot on friendly, polite and always served with a smile . This place is ideal for lochgilphead and reasonalby priced too

Been in a couple of times and have enjoyed the traditional bacon rolls but the cakes really are amazing - worth the trip!

Been here a few times now & love it! Coffee is amazing, cakes are delicious, especially the Jaffa cake 😋😋 Yummy toasties & salad, cheery staff, warm & welcoming atmosphere....what's not to love? Well worth 5* 😀❤️🍰☕️🍪

The Salty Dog Cafe is FABULOUS. It's a fantastic boost to Lochgilphead's offer and is well worth a visit. The home baking is out of this world; the daily specials are truly amazing and they often have gluten-free options too. The food is also great - fresh and tasty, and the breakfasts deserve a very special mention. Last but by no means least, the coffee is awesome - and give the white hot chocolate a try. Look out for the giant Jaffa cakes too! Friendly service is always on the menu. It's fast become my favourite go-to place for weekend coffee and cakes.

Love going to the salty dog for good food! all ways has home baking fresh every day, all day breakfast which is great and great prices to, and staff are so friendly 😃 also welcome your doggys to 😃
