The Arrochar Tea Room in Argyll & Bute

Ordered 2 paninis with chicken bacon and cheese which were tasty but small portion for the price charged. They came with a tiny salad and small portion of crisps. Had a coffee and hot chocolate and was charged £27. Next day went into Ben Arthur's bothy and we had a 2 course meal and drinks for only £10 more which was far better value.

Absolute rip-off. Scandalous prices. £4 for a bread roll out of a packet and a slice of sausage was bad enough but my bill for a roll and a can of Ken bru was £7.10 I queried it and was told the can cast £3.10!!!! I could buy a 24 pack for £10.50. And, it was a can from a multi-pack that was clearly marked ‘must not be sold separately’ If I had cash on me I’d have left a fiver and not a penny more.

We came here for lunch after hiking The Cobbler..Tasty paninis and cakes, wanted a scone but they’d ran out. Will return tomorrow!

Stopped here for breakfast. Absolute rip off..14.50 for breakfast, which would have been OK but failed to tell us it was another 4 pounds for coffee, as it wasn't included in the breakfast,.I had a very small ,weak cappacino and a bap with a slice of bacon in it..bill was over 26pounds and we were still hungry. Do yourself favour and go to rest and be thankful about 10 mins away.Food truck there has amazing food at half the price. I also heard the owner asking an older man for a tip and he said no,and after the gentleman left,I could hear him talking about him and laughing with a stsff member. Avoid,Avoid.Avoid

Had a lovely lunch sitting outside in the sunshine. Paninis were great. Staff are lovely and friendly. Nice warm welcome from a lovely little dog.

Staying in an apartment just below here. Thought I would try a jam and cream scone to take away and whilst at £6.50 it was pricey - it was lovely. Stunning jam

What a delight it was to stumble across this little gem in Arrochar! It was pelting it down with rain so we were pleased to find the Tea Room was open. The lovely man on the till sorted us out with sarnies and tea and we had a lovely natter before heading off back out. Brilliant service and COVID-secure ☺️

Lovely experience, friendly staff and a freshly cooked breakfast, china tea cups and nothing to much bother would highly recommend!!

A beautiful experience here , lovely people serving , beautiful oldie world decor and china tea cups n saucers , took me back to my childhood days and growing up in this big world I am only 52 by the way lol food and cakes and service 5 stars do not drive past and don’t miss out it is right on the bend just past the hotel at Tarbet x

We stopped here for some lunch to get out the rain and so glad we did. We had a lovely homemade soup and brought our dog in (they allow dogs at a table to the front of the cafe).The owner was really chatty and told us it was the last day before closing so we are glad we went.We will definitely return next time we visit!

Excellent service and the hosts playlist in the background was the best I've ever listened too.. Superb cosy atmosphere

Stopped off for a some light food very pleasant had the burger and salad disappointed it didn't come with chips only crisps it was lovely...small place nice id you get a table outside we werevlucky to sit out very pleasant nice if you want to pop in for a light lunch or coffee would recommend

Tearoom that charges restaurants prices good view of cobbler, noticed that the locals do not use it ,,prob cannot afford to ,service ok ,Arrochar has really gone down hill over last few years ,keep driving ...

My husband and I stopped in after a long walk ready for lunch. Plenty of seating as it was quiet when we went it. There was a lot of choice on offer: sandwiches, jacket potatoes, panini, soups and on the board specials. The cakes were out of this world- the jam and cream scone was huge and so good!

Stoped for a panini, it was £7.50 which is fairly expensive even by inner city standards, but I thought, if its good I'm ok with that. It was just that, ok, nothing special certainly not worth £7.50, but the kicker was it was absolutely tiny!! I'd have begrudged paying £3.50 for something that small!! Very, very disappointed. I feel robbed. Just down the road the villige cafe is much cheaper and 3x bigger!

Stopped off here this afternoon on our way home. The place doesn't look like much from the outside and when you go in the inside doesn't do much to alter that view. Don't let that put you off. The food is tremendous.Mike, the owner, has his own style and sense of humour. Thoroughly enjoyed our wee chat with him. The range of burgers is interesting. Both my wife and daughter chose one and they described them as some of the best they'd eaten. High praise indeed from a foodie who views burgers as a last resort. I had a haggis panini, freshly caught this morning, and it was superb. My granddaughter's choice was the soup of the day...tomato and basil and she also described it as the best she'd had. I'm not one for singing anyone's praises. I usually give fair reviews that are balanced with both good and bad points. My only negative opinions would be the decor and overall look of the place however the quality of the food far outweighed any negative thoughts I initially had.We were talked in to taking away some dessert (didn't really take much convincing). The Mars Bar cheesecake is amazing. If you're passing through Arrochar stop there and buy some.Thanks Mike for a lovely meal and convivial chat. Hope the carrot cake turned out all right.

Don’t miss this tiny cafe. The food is home cooked and very good. We are vegetarian and they happily accommodated us. The baked goods were delicious! And the owner and hostess were both so friendly. The hostess gave us lots of helpful advice for the area and couldn’t have been nicer! A lovely stop in a lovely place.

Called here on way back from Inverary Castle and had a lovely lunch. The place is nice and cosy and the food was good. The owner is a friendly guy and we considered it a great find . It seemed very much a one man band but the food arrives quickly and overall service was excellent.

While on a short holiday in Scotland came upon these tea rooms, as we entered we were greeted by a gentleman I now belive is the owner Michael. It was a very warm and welcoming one, once we had asked him about his menu we decided on the large breakfast, well it was a plate of quality and quantity. The food was really tasty and was presented not just thrown on the plate. As we left we asked for some choc chip shortbread which we ate later, again the quality was there. I would recommend this establishment to anyone going within a few miles of Arrochar. Thank you Michael.

A good little pitstop - very friendly owners and they brewed a fine strong coffee with scones so good I had to have seconds!

We stopped in for sandwich and coffee but there didn't seem to be anyone serving.

Late on a Friday afternoon. The man serving was pleasant enough. Place seemed to be elegantly clean. Not much choice and on the expensive side

Delicious home-baked scones with homemade cream and homemade jam. Excellent coffee too. We enjoyed them on each day of our stay!! Service was very friendly.

The parking could be an issue for those with mobility issues. It is small so it has both a cluttered and homely feel to it. Service is friendly and efficient and the coffee and cake we had was absolutely fine. The cafe advertises itself well and it may be that on first sight visitors might have second thoughts but that should not deter you- it really is fine. It is a little expensive compared to some better furnished and decorated cafes in the area but given that it is seasonal and people have to earn a living, the additional expense is no big deal. In saying that, it is probably about £1.50 (at most) dearer than the many places we have visited in the area and had similar so the expense is hardly going to break the bank. Keep it up people.

Lovely friendly staff ,the latte and cappachino were the best I have tasted . Try the fresh made scones , served warm delicious.

- £7.95 for a small tasteless panini.

We happened on the Arrochar Tea Room as we drove around the Loch Lomond area. What a delight! We enjoyed a pick me up of lovely tea and scones. The owner served us and made us feel so welcome. The other customers were so very friendly as well. Such a charming place. First time visiting Scotland from the States and this lovely tea room was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you!! Best wishes!!

A breathe of fresh air coming all the way from NZ this was our first stop and the service was excellent! A very friendly owner who doubled as a tour guide giving us all the handy tips we needed to know about climbing the Cobbler. If you are stopping in you must try their famous cheesecake, we even stopped in for seconds after our hike. I don’t usually go to the effort to leave reviews but my day was made, I highly recommend.

It was delicious! Loved the mars bar cheesecake and coffee was perfect for warming me up after a hike up the mountains 😊 and amazing customer service 👍

The decor could do with freshening up as looks very tired and dated.

Went here for breakfast with my new wife following a dreadful night in a local hotel where we didn't fancy their breakfast at all.

We stopped at the Tea Room on our way to Port Ban Holiday Park at Kilberry. Off road parking is quite restricted and you may have to walk a little distance from the pay & display spaces if the free parking area (very small) is already full. It is a fairly standard tea room with reasonable service & prices but our portions of "rustic vegetable soup" were not very big.

Popped in on a walk with our small dog, we had coffee and cakes which was reasonably priced. Staff was friendly as were the other customers.

A friendly place to dine on a misty afternoon. Very understanding about fo9mod allergies. Delicious burger and panini followed by mars bar cheesecake.

Never laughed so much at the ridiculously over priced menu. Reliant on a captive audience . We did eat sandwiches at £4.50 each. Bread straight out of a generic sliced bag. Salad garnish seen better days .

Went with hubby and 2 friends decore was great music brilliant and food amazing. We had prawn sandwhiches and 2 had carrot cake 2 had the biggest scone ever. Cant recomend it enough. Staff 2 great giggle. Should go to visit if in arrochar or passing through

Had soup there. At least they had a couple of vegan options. The guy working there was eating an ice cream cone when we arrived and made so much noise as he ate!! Quite off putting! Basic soup. Not much flavour!

Payed a visit for cream tea whilst I was passing through the village which cost me £6.50. I received a sorry looking scone which was deficient in jam and a little soggy and a small tea pot with a mug which may as well have been from a kids easter egg. When I asked for a little extra jam the man asked for an extra 10p despite there hardly being any in the scone in the first place!

We stopped for coffee and water after a morning walk partway up The Cobbler. Coffee was good, even better because the staff were able to find cream to go with it! Lovely to have a chat with the staff about the area.

We enjoyed our lunch at The Arrochar Tea Room. Good soup, well prepared sandwiches. And, of course, tea,

This is a small cozy place, service was good. We both had scones and tea and the food was about average.

We were looking forward to trying the tea rooms so we went in and as their sign said took a seat and waited to be served. We waited for about 25 minutes without so much as an acknowledgement of our presence. We understand that they were busy but even a look at us or a "We'll be with you soon" would have been nice and good customer service. So as much as we'd like to review the food etc we can't as we walked out.

Very little to say about this small cafe ...... poor.

Passed a temporary sign advertising that the tearoom was open from 10.00am - this on Tuesday 3 July. Parked the car to get to shop only to find it is closed until 5th July. Have they not heard of the expression "Make hay while the sun shines"??

The Haggis burger, was a little curious about ordering it but spoke with the guy working and thought I'd give that a try. So glad I did as it was amazing and not what I expected as the haggis is mixed through the burger and tasted the business, could be the best burger iv ever had. Nice relaxing stop on our way to Arran for a few days camping and climbing. Be back on way home for another. Highly recommend

Group of 12, ordered some sandwiches and panninis to take away. Food took close to an hour to be made, panninis were small and were £6.50+ and came with no sides until we pointed out that the menu stated that they were accompanied with crisps and salad. A can costs £1.50 and a small slice of cake was £3.50+. The quality of the food was far outweighed by the long waiting times, the ridiculously expensive prices and the disorganisation of the place and staff. Extremely disappointing.

Excellent and friendly staff. Good food. Chefwho knows how to cook! Excellent haggis, neeps and tatties.

Walked from Tarbet to Arrochar and this tea room was a welcome sight. Good coffee and tea with friendly staff. View from the path just above the tea room

I visited the tea room a few days ago. Service was excellent and the big Scottish breakfast I ordered was the best I have ever had - I thoroughly recommend it!

Stayed here waiting fo time to check in to hotel had a pot of tea for two and the service and friendliness of the staff was first class woul recommend a short stay

Stopped in here for a quick cuppa en route back from Puck's Glen near Dunoon. Had a great pot of tea and fantastic home-made carrot cake. The owner clearly takes pride in all of his food. Be prepared: we went in for tea for two, but it ended up as tea for three as we spent most of the time talking to the owner - no bad thing, he's a cool chap.

Very nice place with view on the lake Simple and tasty Just the right place to take a brake off the road to edinburg

Alas just a quick visit as the lovely owner was shutting up for the day. He still took the time to shoot the breeze and give some local knowledge and bemoan the forecast change in weather. Lovely guy with even more lovely mars bar cheesecake. Sad that it was closed for the rest of my stay but as a solo run business totally understand that he needs holidays too.

Had coffee and cake in the Arrochar Tea Room. Coffee was excellent and all the home baking looked delicious - we settled for fruit scone and cranberry and white chocolate muffin - both were yummy. Highly recommend a visit if in Arrochar.

When I am in the area, I like to pop in for a bite to eat. It does good food and is always busy with people eating in and doing takeaways. Staff very friendly.

We came across this tea room whilst looking for somewhere to shelter from the rain before starting our walk. Well, what a find! Michael, the owner, was friendly and welcoming. While we enjoyed great coffee and his delicious homemade cake and Mars cheesecake (amazing!), he made time to chat to us about the local area. Great selection of food, including fabulous scones and cakes, and plenty of teas to choose from. We were so impressed that we sped up towards the end of our beautiful walk just to be able to squeeze in a last visit before the tea room closed! This little place is definitely on our list for our next visit to Scotland.

We fell in to what we thought was a tea shop but it turned out that he was the local unofficial tourist guide to us. We loved it, his wit and local knowledge did him proud.

stopped here after hard days walking, the food was good cakes delicious service quick and staff very friendly highly recommend

Enjoyed a very good coffee here and then couldn't resist a delicious looking tray bake which had just come out of the oven. I ate the piece of almond tray bake later and I wasn't disappointed. Lots of interesting pictures on the walls and well worth a visit.

Stopped at this Tearoom by the side of Loch Long. So glad we did. Delicious home made soup, and the most moist Carrot Cake ever

Serving great food and treats as well as a nice cup of coffee, it's worth going to share banter with the owner, refuel before or after going up the mountain or on a day trip. Friday and Saturday nights it's open late with BYOB. I love the gluten free options. The haggis burger is worth a try.

Chatty, personable staff, great coffee, if on the small side. Took mine to go; looks like a charming place to sit and have a cup.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on our way to tarbert. Had a nice lunch of soup and Sandwich. Very good.Good service too.

After spending 2 days camping about the area, I arrived down at 11:30 and found this place for a cup of coffee and to wait for my bus. Finished my coffee and was sitting outside enjoying the day as it was sunny. At 12:00, I was asked if I would like anything else to drink. I replied no. I was then told I needed to order something else or move on. There was a free table out the front of the cafe with nobody sitting in it and loads of free chairs. Half an hour to enjoy a coffee is a bit ridiculous. This is the second and last time I will be in here, the first time they had no milk for coffee.

Very nice, simple menu. Good sandwiches and cakes. Nice cup of tea and good coffee. The owner is very friendly and helpful!

Delicious meals and tasty sweets. Everything we sampled was freshly made onsite. Generous tea servings. Charming host very willing to share his time and knowledge. Wifi available. A must-stop for us when traveling through.

Nice enough tea and coffee, sat outside to have our drinks. Friendly staff who helped out when we couldn't get the wifi going. Perfectly pleasant but nothing special.

My wife and i dropped in for some lunch and found a great choice of sandwiches and main meals.The boss was a great guy who we found very easy to talk with.The food was excellent.

Parking good. Service good. Coffee nice but very expensive. Cakes looked good. This place incorporates a post office.

Visited the arrochar tea room yesterday ....very friendly service .food was great I had a chicken panini it was brilliant served with a side salad and. crisps nice touch ...coffee was great aswell .could have sat there all day and watched the world go by.very cosy wee place ..highly recommended .

We regularly visit this tea room when passing through. The food is home cooked and scones with cream and jam are excellent.Last Sunday my friend lost her diamond and emerald ring. Four hours later we popped in on the way home and asked if anyone had haded in a ring. After describing it we were handed the ringA member of the public who didn't leave a name had found it. A very big thank you and god bless you whoever you are xx

Visited before climbing the Cobbler and found a warm welcome and lovely home made food. Staff were friendly and gave helpful advice for travelling.

Popped in for lunch after walking from ardgarten and was warmly welcomed. Food tasty, cakes all home made and delicious and very attentive staff. The tea room itself was quickly. Lovely experience as part of our holiday

A very warm welcome from the Proprietor and attentive service from the teenage waiting staff, including the lovely Sophie.Food was greatly enjoyed by my elderly parents and myself; fresh beautifully cooked simple lunches are served. I had the best seat overlooking the Loch and I got sunburned in March!A glorious day out for us enhanced by this lovely wee tearoom.

My daughter and I ate at this little spot several times while I was visiting Arrochar. I love the coziness of it and the freshness of the food. The owner, in kilts takes your order, then puts on an apron, goes to the kitchen and fixes your meal. It was truly enjoyable and the desserts are hard to pass up.

Dropped in for a quick snack prior to bookin in the hotel nearby. Service and food were really good. The menu covers most tastes at a reasonable price throughout. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

This wee tearoom was a gloriouus finf for my husband. Teawas hot and the eats were delicious - home made!

I have driven past this small tea room on many occasion, decided to stop and give it a try, well what a surprise great homely food and tea served with a china cup & saucerJust have to remember this is a cash only shop no credit cards accepted.

Very cosy after a damp hillwalk! The cakes were delicious and the service good. Calm staff were working in a small but welcoming space.

Stopped off here while staying in the Ardgarten Cabins, had Haggis burger and a naughty cream Scone. The Tea rooms were clean and friendly. The food cooked well and tasty. Would eat there again. We had two large dogs with us but this was not an issue and there was plenty of seating outside for us. Looked busy but the staff seemed to be coping well.

mooi gedekte tafels, vriendelijk personeel, het diner was heerlijk en heel goed verzorgd. Het ontbijt was gedeeltelijk buffet en gedeeltelijk van de kaart.

I have stopped several times at this tearoom on my way to Crinan and every single time it has been a pleasure. The coffee and scones are delicious and my elderly father in law loves to sit outside to admire the view of the loch and enjoy a cigar. I have to mention the owner who is a very hospitable and charming man. Last time he gave us some soup to take away as he was closing up. The too was delicious,real home made stuff. It is lovely to see that Highland hospitality is alive and well in Arrochar. Sadly It iis so seldom you come across it these days.

This is not a Bad tea room maybe a bit tired staff are not too bad not that friendly could do with a better choice cakes but other than that nice cup of tea or coffee

Paid £1 to park in the village car park. Went for a coffee and was served by a friendly chap, and sat on a settee in the window watching the world go by.

Staying in Arrochar and wanted a light bite before we set off on a walk. Both my husband and I had the chicken roasted peppers and mozzarella ciabatta it was delicious would highly recommend. Lovely little find.

Dropped in for a sugar fix after climbing the Cobbler with my dog Ace. Cream scones to die for. Mmmmmmmm , lovely coffee and great with the dog too.

Lovely little tea room. Stayed here on our drive from Glasgow to Oban and the Isle of Mull. Our group of four all felt our meals were very good and good value. My burger was excellent. Really superb. We were going to call in on our way back to Glasgow airport but the sat nav took us in a difference direction! Highly recommended.

We attempted to visit this Tea Rooms during its advertised opening hours for a Thursday but found it closed.

We were left abandoned in Arrochar by Sunday service trains so we headed in to the tea room to escape the weather and find caffeine! This is a GREAT little cafe, the coffee was good and there are lots of food options to choose from. Friendly cheeky host to chat with and even free wifi, what more could we have needed??? We took up a table for a few hours and really enjoyed our lunch, it rescued our morning (the Queen soundtrack alone was a grand mood booster!) Great view of the Loch too, highly recommend if you are in Arrochar, they do takeaway food if you are heading out on a hike!

Cute little cafe, atmosphere was sweet and homey. We had lunch there: filled rolls with soup of the day. It was all tasty. Large portions. Very friendly owner. It's a great place to stop in for a quick bite.

It's Ok. It's a café. Free wifi. If you're in Arrochar and you want a cup of tea then this place will do. We parked in the hotel car park across the road.

this tea room is very good ,their cream and jam scones are very delicious and they make them themselves they use scotch beef for the burgers and they do homemade haggis burgers as well so if your in arrochar please stop and go in its well worth it and its very reasonable and they are very friendly,they give free beers but you leave him a large tip we will defininately b e going back on saturday

We stopped in at this tea room very late yesterday afternoon. Even though he was about to close up for the day, Michael very kindly offered to stay open so we could have afternoon tea and indulge in his lovely home-made scones, jam and cream. Nice to get a big pot of tea too! Thank you for your hospitality and good eating!

Menyen var oversiktlig og grei. De hadde laget en dagens meny, men en kunne i tillegg velge fra en ala kart meny. Prisene er som i resten av Skottland. Maten var enkel og god. Servicen var meget bra. Litt spesielt kelnerne ikke fikk lov til å ta imot betaling. Vi måtte kvittere for alt hva vi bestilte, da er det lett å miste oversikten

This place is more like a coffee shop cafe than an actual tea room so if your expecting tea room like quality and service you are going to be disappointed. I liked this place we stopped here for some coffee and a snack. Coffee was good tea was average we had sandwiches. Its nothing amazing but it was good and it gave us a nice respite on our travels into the highlands. Service was good and the food and coffee came out rather quickly which we liked.Parking is on the street or there is a little area beside the shop that you can park but its rather steep.
