The Boat House Coffee Shop in Argyll & Bute

Beautiful location and decor. Food looks delicious. But, really really wish the cooked breakfasts were better; under-cooked for both of us on two occasions now (and somewhat slapped on the plate) so we will not order this again. While appreciating the aspirational up-market vibe and hoping it gets there, under-cooked breakfasts aside, the prices are way too high for the current offering. Reducing the cost of filled rolls would be a start. 2 stars for the food, 3 stars for the aesthetics, 1 star for the overall pricing.

We stopped here while staying in hunters quay. Staff were nice and friendly. We just had chesse on toast,cakes which were homemade,coffee and hot chocolate. Prices were reasonable If ever in the area would definitely return. Nice views as well.

We visited Dunoon for a Mon-Fri break, came across this coffee shop through a recommendation on tripadvisor and couldn’t have been happier with the place. So much so after a visit for lunch on Wednesday we came back for brunch on Friday (today) after checking out as it was so good. Very busy and lucky to get tables, great service, great food, brilliant find - all round delighted and will definitely visit again if in the area x

Lovely location, friendly staff and stylish interior Excellent spot on the waterfront with outdoor seating. I only had a cold drink but the food looked delicious and will definitely return with partner.

Good parking for motorbikes.Although late for breakfast Grace cooked up 3 delicious breakfasts for us auld boys. Served hot and tasty by a pleasant worker which makes all the difference to your eating experience. Hope the washing was dry as it turned out a nice day.

Gorgeous place, friendly staff, great quality of food , nice selection on menu, reasonably priced. What more could you want? Also great selection of beautiful cakes .

Seafront bistro style cafe. Staff welcoming and friendly. Decore was very stylish and views fantastic (sat in the window). Coffees lovely and tomato /coconut soup with cheese/herb scone was to die for - absolutely delicious 😋. Recommended

Coffee and wee sweet treat... Lovely on a gorgeous day like today... We will most certainly be back and back very very soon

Lovely staff lovely coffee and lovely views ❤️ visiting the area to see where my partner’s Grandmother was from and this was a great find. Really recommend

We stopped here to grab some ice cream but wish we had went elsewhere. The prices were ridiculous for 3 small ice-cream it was nearly £9, it was lovely equis ice cream but the service was awful. We waited almost 15 mins in a que, we were second in line, they were so slow, it took 15 mins just to serve the customer in front of us, all they asked for milkshakes and ice cream, there was no smile, no thank you, most ice creams were out of stock and they kept repeatly asking what we ordered. Doubt we will be back!

Now I’ve been a few times to The Boat House and it’s a lovely coffee shop with friendly staff and nice food but I was horrified today by the prices hence this review. We went in and looked at the menu. Nearly £16 for two coffees and two simple rolls and sausage! I know things are expensive for everyone but come on! We left without ordering.

Looks really nice but frustratingly bad service. We ordered coffee and cake from the kiosk and sat on the tables outside. Cake and coffee was very average for the price. My daughter then went into the cafe (trying to be independent) to order food. She was ignored by the staff for some time until another customer pointed out she had been waiting patiently at the counter. When I checked her bank card transaction she had been charge more than double. The staff did pay the difference back to us in cash but we couldn't help but go away from what looked like a great wee cafe disappointed.

Nice location, clean and tidy and good for coffee and cake. However we ordered nachos for two people which was really not enough for two and pretty poor standard and completely overpriced for what was served. Would recommend for coffee but not lunch.

so very clean, exceptional friendly staff. the food is all home cooked ,locally sourced and very tasty lots of home baking very nice lovely home made soup.

2 rolls and sausage and potato scone and 2 coffee £14.60 Photo scone unedited Sausage like rubber Coffee cup half filled Will not be back again, plenty of better options in Dunoon.

Arrived on a wet and windy day; of us, one wheelchair user and was welcomed in and beautifully looked after. I opted to park the wet and smelly dogs outside (no one wants a soggy trouser leg!) and the ladies kept an eye on them for me. Food was perfect for a family with varying tastes.

After a pleasant walk along the promenade, the Boat House is a good spot to stop for a coffee or a light lunch. The food was freshly prepared and worth waiting for. The staff were engaging with everyone and good for visitor experiences available in the area.

We visited this lovely cafe on our recent visit to Scotland. The staff are so helpful and obliging and the location is right on the seafront. The refurbished loos are spotless and the ambiance very friendly. Most important the food is great and we enjoyed a local traditional “Scotch Pie”…… delicious. What a gem, we will definitely return if another holiday takes us to Dunoon.

We had a lovely lunch at the boathouse with stunning view the best homemade soup ever best hangover quer prepared and made by Sandra

Lunched there yesterday. Prices very expensive given the quality of the food. £6.50 for Ham Salad served with supermarket's cheapest processed Ham. Perhaps they should forego the strawberries and grapes and provide decent quality ham. At £3.70 for a breakfast roll again this is overpriced. Comparing prices and quality to other venues in Dunoon it's most expensive by far and quality of food lets it down. Disappointed and won't be back.

Was looking for somewhere to grab some lunch and stumbled across the boat house cafe. Great quality food, and good coffee. All reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend.

A really nice clean and cosy place with great staff & excellent food. Nice cake selection too. Ideally located as well for nice views.

Loved this coffee shop right by the sea at Dunoon. Great coffee and wonderful homemade cakes and scones. Breakfast was also delicious. Would highly recommend the Boathouse Special - wholemeal toast topped with sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon and 2 perfectly poached eggs! Lovely staff and...

Nice ladies and scones and the latte are lovely the view was stunning across the loch could see for miles and miles

Morning coffee in great surroundings. Great coffee and scone but cakes and biscuits all looked good too. Polular with a nice friendly buzz. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a coffee on a wet day in February. Friendly staff and really really good coffee also nice biscuits ( homemade I believe) selection of cakes available and you can book afternoon tea on weekdays

This is second review of Afternoon tea one in the summer this one the winter. Cannot fault in any way from staff to quality of food. Firstly hot mulled wine , appetisers little cheese and roasted vegetable tarts. The sandwiches were so fresh egg, fresh...

We first found this cafe whilst walking with our dog during a weekend visit to Dunoon and stopped for a coffee, hot choc and scones to go. Everything was lovely. Visited again on our way to the ferry terminal - the clementine hot choc was...

A good place to stop. We were out for a day tour round the peninsula. Needed lunch. Actually the best place to park is a public car park a few yards away. I had found this place on the internet, so was looking for it....

Friendly local Dunoon cafe with very good home made food and coffees. Could stay here all day with the view right doon the watter

Lovely hot coffees and delicious scones. Beautiful location. Would highly recommend a visit. Very friendly staff too

They provide soup and hot filled rolls and tea and coffee at a very reasonable price of £10 head. Bacon and lorne sausage rolls were good, the lentil and ham soup was mouth-watering and moreish. Absolutely lovely. The staff were friendly,effective and provided great service....
