The Beach Cafe in Argyll & Bute

Cute little cafe inside the museum. Tables were interpretive signage. Cafe food was good but it took a long time to arrive. We visited in early May, and this was the busiest spot we visited outside of Edinburgh! The area is a large scientific complex so I think we just hit it at lunch hour. Good food though. The museum is fun and family friendly. There’s seating inside but not much. There are a couple tables outside too. The little pebble beach right there is interesting.

Excellent Breakfast! The Staff is really nice, also they have a lot of plugs to charge or use the Laptop, very useful! Thank you for the good food.

Excellent food and service. Very reasonable prices since the new management took over the Cafe.

Lovely cafe! We recently visited for lunch as a group of 7 people and everyone was very happy! We had various items, including baguettes, sandwiches, baked potatoes ,cakes, coffees and soft drinks. Everything was delicious and very well cooked and presented. The staff were very friendly and polite. We were so surprised by how affordable the food was. Definitely one of the best cafes in the area. We can't wait to return!

Very tasty cakes and coffee is incredibly good👍 Recommended ❤️

Lovely cafe with a view. Friendly staff, fresh and delicious food. Their cakes its something incredible, home-made cheesecakes, muffins, cinnabon buns, sponge cakes are amazing. Good price range for everything. Also cafe is dog-friendly.

Undercooked breakfast roll, £3 for 1 bit of bacon absolutely ridiculous, 0/10

Brilliant wee cafe. Well worth diversion from the A85 near Oban.

A fantastic little dog friendly cafe! (Ignore the old sogn at the front). Best pastries in the area and a fab coffee!

No rolls! What sort of Scottish cafe doesn't have rolls. No square sausage, weird sandwiches with rocket and vegan cheese. Ugh! Ordered two sausage rolls, pretty sure they were veggie - tasted weird. One of them was inedible due to being microwaved too long and going hard. The other was bland. The custard donut was nice, but could've git tge sane thing at Tesco for far less. Expensive too. Avoid.

Best coffee in the Oban area, super friendly service by Andrew & Ricardo. Right next to the beach and Dunstaffnage Castle too.

They've only been open for a week.... And after one visit, I can honestly say that they would be my first choice for somewhere to go for a snack. Great food and helpful, pleasant staff, plus interesting and comfortable surroundings and facilities. The Goldie toastie (ham, cheese, cream cheese and Dijon mustard) was wonderful, and the cheese and tomato croissant an absolute revelation. And a cup of PROPER mocha, not the usual too-sweet hot chocolate in disguise... Wow!! We'll be back time and time again, and we'll definitely recommend to friends and family 👍😁

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Highchair for the little one and great soup and sandwiches at a decent price. The baked goods looked tempting too. Exactly what we needed to warm up and get out of the wind for an hour.

The management and staff are to be recommended for the friendly atmosphere and services. Would definitely recommend 👌 8

Staff have worked very well without a full complement of their staff to hand

Very nice baked potatoes and hot drinks.

Delicious food nice people good prices

Incredibly lovely staff, and a really cool marine experience

Lovely food and brilliant staff. We will return.

Brilliant cafe. Food is delicious. Try the homemade soup, which is served daily ( 2 different kinds), you won't be disappointed. In fact try anything on the menu, delicious.!!., and priced very reasonable... The best café in fact, in my opinion, outwith Oban. Staff very attentive, and courteous.... A gem of a place!!!!... Enjoy. 👍

Very friendly staff and lovely food!

Lovely little cafe friendly staff

The cafe has gold food, since Covid exist they only have take away. (It has a vegan options )

Great cafe! Visited twice on our holidays. Friendly helpful staff too! We came across it by chance first time around but will definitely use it again when in the Oban area.

Really nice, bright café with lovely, chatty and helpful staff. The food is homemade - but in the best possible way, it was great. The food prices were so good too. You can sit outside and eat or take your food to the nearby beach. Superb.

The ladies in the beach cafe are lovely. As a Scot living in London I miss my classic Scottish breakfast of slice, fired egg and tottie scone roll. The beach cafe served me one that was perfect.

Nice wee coffee shop/café attached to the visitor centre! Nothing mind blowing but good prompt service and polite staff. We went after doing the castle and chapel ruins and the visitor centre. Nice scotch pie and tea with a slice of cake between the two of us. Outdoor seating too and they do takeaway! Looks like they had recently opened so were still working things out - watch out as it was CASH ONLY when i visited. No problem as i had cash on me, but might catch folks out given the prevalence of contactless :-)
