Tarbet Tearoom in Argyll & Bute

This is the loveliest tea room with the friendliest staff. They were so welcoming and even offered to give my boyfriend and I a lift! Such a great place to stop for a coffee near the loch. I would love to come back here!

Cannot fault the service provided on a rare trip to this cafe. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Although not well advertised, this small but friendly cafe is hidden just off the A82 where it turns to the right in Tarbet. Next to the Post Office with a handful of parking spaces, it's even hard to know if it's open! Once inside, the simple menu covered just what most people would want. The service was quick and our teas and coffees arrived post haste followed by hearty but simple fayre. The portions were more than generous and prices were fair. A word of caution. in the small toilet, the hot water supply is signed as "Caution - Very Hot Water". It isn't . It's scalding.

First visit but will not be our last. What a lovely little place. We had a lovely lunch today with the best cheese and ham toastie. Homemade scones and a Mars bar rice crispie cake, delicious. The most lovely welcoming staff, thank you.

On a coach holidsy to Tarbet. This lovely tea room is nearly next door to our hotel. What a gem . Proper China teacups. And great food . We had a Steak Cheese & Onion Panini absolutely delicious. The ladies that run it are so nice .

Used it a lot when I lived locally, surprised at the fact that no dogs are now allowed as a large bloodhound was a permanent feature at one point, changed days , still a pleasant stop for tea buns etc .

I wish the just one month old review hadn't stated dog friendly : either change of ownership (with back dated thinking ) or the writer thinks tying the dog up outside counts as "friendly." Drove on

Stopped off on our way to Oban for a delicious breakfast roll of sausage, haggis and egg. Welcome was super friendly and excellent value!

nice wee friendly tea room just stopped off on way to Inverary for a wee toastie was ok didn't want anything to big would stop by again if up that way.

Visited on a very wet Friday afternoon all looking for a warm drink, couldn’t find a fault at all. Amazing service from us walking in and we couldn’t believe how busy it was. Scones are amazing too. Well worth a visit

Enjoyed a quick lunch of homemade lentil soup which was excellent. My partner enjoyed a very tasty panini with generous filling of bacon brie and cranberry. Followed this with the most light and fluffy plain scones and a decent cup of coffee. Most definitely a surprisingly tasty lunch stop!

在沿着罗蒙湖北上的时候在这里短暂停留。桌 子有点拥挤但非常舒服，室内布满了有趣的装饰品，装食物的盘子非常精美。食物简单但风味十足，非常新鲜和美味，更别说还能来一杯温暖人心的咖啡了。在罗蒙湖畔有这么一家舒适的小餐厅真的太赞。

We had a lovely walk in the hills and then called in here. It is small but cosy and it can be hard to find a table. They serve good teas and coffees and a range of good dishes suitable for casual breakfasts and lunches. Good place of you are walking in the area.

Charming tea room run by lovely ladies. Decorated with taste, and humour. Service is good. Food was quite decent.

Nice atmosphere and tasty food. Good for a snack at lunch time. Some quirky decoration. Pleasant and accommodating staff.

Popped into this tea room while we were staying Tarbet and had the most delicious scone with a lovely cup of tea. Staff were very friendly.

Abbiamo fatto una stupenda colazione inglese: apple-pie, toast,scoone con burro e marmellata. Tutti e tre siamo stati soddisfatti.La titolare ricorda un po' lo stile della "Signora in giallo"...

I struggled through snow over the Rest and Be Thankful and was very glad to stop at this wee tearoom for what was the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time. The staff were welcoming and the tearoom itself is full of charming china.

A lovely little haven, serving an excellent cuppa with scone and jam. Very good value, friendly and busy at lunchtime.

After a cruise on Lake Lomond the food and tea at this delightful tea room really hit the spot. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the staff are very kind and welcoming. The food and tea are of very good quality.

Stopped for breakfast on way up to Arrochar. This was so lovely tea served in proper china cups. we had bacon and haggis rolls which were delicious. Just a short stop but enjoyed it so much.

We passed this lovely little Tearoom turning around to grab a cuppa. It is exactly how it pictured a tearoom in Scotland. Lovely real teacups everywhere! Lovely staff. Great cup of tea and the best scones ever! Surprisingly, the teapot was metal. Disappointing. But the scones made up for it. They do sandwiches and other quick bites and that was the drawback for me....the place smelled of oil. Inside and outside. For a good half hour after we left, that was all we could smell. Oil. Otherwise, a good place to stop on the way to Oban.

Small but welcoming environment. The place offers basic snacks, including traditional filled rolls and soup of the day. Good prices and a selection of cakes, Tea and coffee. Parking outside is slightly limited. Staff are very helpful.

Visited here again on our visit to the area. Small, but full of character, tearoom. You have to visit to find out for yourself how nice a place this is. If you are partial to a bacon roll then dont pass by without going in. So tasty!!

Muy pintoresco interior, un poco estrecho con el número de mesas que asisten. La comida era excelente, el servicio era demasiado, incluso llamado la panadería local para confirmar que los rollos eran de huevos (alergia alimentaria). También nos recomendaron lugares para parada en mi viaje en bicicleta.

Nos encanta encontrar lugares independientes para comer y fue perfecto! Justo al lado de la carretera principal a 200 metros del Lago Lomond por, pudimos comer muy razonablemente incluyendo paninis, sopa, patatas fritas y panecillos rellenos rollos de desayuno también era una opción así como patatas chaqueta y pasteles. Comimos en el invierno calentadores de menú, no estoy seguro de lo que el verano podría llevar, pero sin duda recuerda a visitar la próxima vez que vayamos por este camino!

Qué lugar. . Apareció en. para un almuerzo rápido. . Sopa casera. era delicioso y fresco bollos recién horneados y pasteles eran bien vale la pena visitar. . El personal era encantador. Gran ambiente relajado. recomiendo encarecidamente parando aquí. . incluso salir de mi camino de nuevo. . . .

Popped into the Tarbert Tearoom on the way home from Arrochar as we had a long drive ahead. so welcoming lovely and warm and really cosy. nothing a problem we were two couples all having a lovely fried breakfast. no haggis was mentioned so we asked if we could get some no problem and they didn't even charge extra thats what I call going the extra mile will definitely call again.

We called in for lunch after a long bike ride and thoroughly enjoyed the brie, bacon and cranberry panini. And the fruit cake was as good as I have ever tasted. A little gem.

I have stopped here numerous times over the years and have always had a friendly welcome and a tasty bite or cup of tea.This is a handy spot to break your journey up.

darme una habitación esta mañana tuvimos un adorable efecto bienvenida del personal y tenía una buena Highlands escoceses el desayuno y una taza de té y algunos preciosos pan tostado. la comida estaba bien prestented y el lugar tenía un adorable efecto atmostphire

Always a friendly welcome. Good hot rolls Nice pot of tea . Esp on a wild day outside , Always drop in on passing

Had lunch here in this quaint and quirky tea room. Fabulous home made leek and potato soup with a very tasty huge chunky ham sandwich. A treasure of a place!

Great wee tea room good home baking scones , tea cakes , ect filled rolls, homemade soups ,friendly staff next to the post office round the corner from The Tarbet Hotel.

Lovely place to stop for refreshments & snacks.Beautifull views from tables outside & info for Loch cruises

We stopped off here on a circular walk from Arrochar, would have loved a cup of coffee and a cake. Looked nice inside but no dogs allowed (we had our two little dogs with us). The tables outside were stacked up so that people could use the space for parking, which meant we couldn't even sit outside with the dogs. Shame.

Kurzer Zwischenstop auf dem Spaziergang Heritage Walk. Klein mit Plastikmöbeln, schiefen Bildern an der Wand und einer Sammlung aus Restservicetassen. Es gibt Kaffee, Kuchen und Tee, aber auch Fastfood.

Wonderful small tea room. We arrived late afternoon, but found most of the village deserted, but not this place! The owner helped us find a place to sleep and came with some great advise about the area. The food was great, especially the burger ;) Didn't try the cake, but will do when I return some day.

I really don't understand how anyone could possibly write a bad review of this place. This was our first tearoom stop on our tour of Scotland and certainly the best. First, it was adorable. We loved the decor. Second, we loved our tea service. Third, the curry chips with cheese were amazing, and the pastry we took to go had custard AND chocolate. And finally, the staff was very accomodating in taking pictures for us, and directing us to the Highland games, and we even got free tickets from a very kind gentleman. I do see that the parking could be challenging, but it is worth it.

People are very kind and helpful, the atmosphere is easy and quit, tea is good and biscuits are really specials! Thank you so much Tarbet Tearoom!

After walking "The Cobbler" we were looking for great coffee and a good selection of cakes on our way home, unfortunately we didn't find them here. The coffee was watery of the instant variety and the hot chocolate the same, pleased to say the tea was good. We had one stale crispy cake and 3 choc biscuits - way over priced at £11. The service was efficient maybe too efficient, it was just before 3pm and even though the sign said it closed at 4pm they made it clear they wanted us to leave by flipping over the closed sign. Wish they'd told us before taking our order.The décor was tired and dated plastic patio chairs? (think 1980's time warp not the vintage look they were trying to achieve) and cleanliness could be much improved. Poor ventilation from the kitchen smells and a noisy refrigerators did nothing for the ambiance. It's a shame as it's in a great location and looks better from the outside. As I said very disappointing end to a lovely day - wouldn't stop again.

Visited Arrochar just recently and me and my partner went for a good long walk on the way back towards Tarbet we popped into the tearoom well what a lovely place and best of all a lovely cup of tea,but actually it was a pot of tea with a China cup. Just to say it's well worth a stop!

Best bacon roll on the A82 or the A83. great chat and banter going on with staff and customers alike well worth a stop and chill

Nice little tea room with the normal selection of soup/rolls/cakes etc. Small and basic, but with a pleasant vibe. As an aside, while we were eating our lunch I also noted that the owner/waitress (not sure which) was very attentive to a group of 3 children who rode to the tearoom on their bikes to spend their pocket money on a cake - she made a point of making sure they got the cakes with the most icing/chocolate/whatever it was they each liked, and you could tell it was the highlight of the kids' day. It put a smile on my face, and theirs. :)

such a lovely tea room. An amazing setting and wonderful staff. simply great home cooked food, lovrly cakes and the best cup of tea in the west of Scotland. we stop here everytime we pass through, love it!!

staff were friendly, food was nice. unusual but pleasant décor. parking may be tricky at busy times.

Lovely lunch with very good service and value for money, and a very pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant

Good food, service and value for money. Lovely little locally run tea room with a friendly atmosphere.

We turned up on the Sunday Morning, 5 guys all with beards and due to our faith.What i was very happy about was that you advised us that you will make our breakfast first, i know we men were slow in putting the order in, thankyou so much.As for the ECLAIRS cakes with cream, my friends just mentioned yesterday that we would drive all of the 700 miles just for them, so people that read this review please try,enjoy and get FAT :))Thankyou for a great start to a Sunday Morning..

I have stopped here several times when passing and you always get a great cup of tea and a bite to eat, reasonably priced and cheerfully served. They even posted back my specs when I left them behind. Definitely recommended.

We were staying in the area for a long weekend and found this lovely little tearoom one sundayafternoon in the middle of January. Although a little chilly outside, there was a lovely warm welcome from the staff and a very hot radiator to keep us warm. We had a special offer of a coffee or tea plus a delicious home made scone and butter for £6.50 for 2. It was a very nice atmosphere and some local people also came in whilst we were there. The place itself is quitesmall so I guess in the busy holiday season is hard to get a seat. Maybe there is also an outdoorseating area as well in the fine weather?

The friendly Staff, and the home made baking. Especially the scones.Could do with more parking facilities.

We stopped here on the way back from Inveraray. We probably would have eaten a bigger meal but, despite being far away from any town, they don't accept card and we had spent our last cash that morning. It turned out there is a cash point in the neighbouring post office, but sadly we didn't spot this until after we'd left.That aside, we were offered some fresh scones that were still wamr. they were delicious and filling and, with the coffee, a very fair price. The coffee wasn't up to the quality of the scones, but it certainly did the job and we'd happily return here again.I'm surprised that a previous review said the premises needed attention? We found it very clean and, while some might think the china cups and decor a little old fashioned, we welcomed the atmosphere it provided.

Just stopped of at the tearoom on the way to Inveraray and found it very nice.The food was fresh and prices were reasonable.Worth a stop in if you are travelling round the area and looking for something to keep you going.

Conveniently located for the weary traveller in need of a break and a cup of tea, but the facilities are sadly in need of attention.

If you are looking for a great little cafe this is the place had a great all day breakfast. Worth a visit

had a lovely snack here home made pie n mushy peas mmmmmmmm my other half had fresh creamcake and loved it

I have visited the Tarbet Tearoom many times over the years and recently in June 2013. It had always been a great tearoom, offering a good selection of drinks, snacks and food. The friendly service is second to none and its a delight to eat there. This is definately a good place to stop off if your travelling up the Loch Lomond area. It's a very popular place and does get busy at times due to the small size. Don't pass it without stopping. You won't regret it.
