The Quarry Centre in Highland

Quick stop for coffee. Great friendly service beautiful and huge cakes - we had a coffee & walnut and a hummingbird. Latte was a decent size, good temperature and smooth tasting. Good price and nice surroundings.

We had a lovely full Scottish breakfast here this morning. Can't fault anything on the plate although we missed the black pudding, the option of adding haggis was good. Service was brilliant with a good atmosphere and music. Would definitely return.

Popped in after a long drive. Lovely little shop with some yummy food. We opted for a sandwich each and it was very nice and generous. Staff were friendly and served us very promptly. Glad we popped in

Another excellent breakfast, great value. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Service is relaxed. It's an informal place, there's no maitre d' or fancy meals, it's a lovely local cafe that we've been visiting for years. Staff (and possibly owners) have changed in that time but we know what we're getting.

First time this Australian traveller has had haggis. Terrified of the first bite I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. Staff are absolutely lovely, go above and beyond and will be remembered from our honeymoon. Coffee to die for as is the big Scottish breakfast.

Bad experience. Queuing system for orders unclear. Someone pushed in before us and then lied to justify. After waiting some time, couple before us had just asked if order at table or order first. We were only others in queue and said we'd got table, then queued. Just them and us in queue then! Earlier I had queued to side of them but moved behind, as found in way of those leaving from cafe, so stood immediately behind although in gift shop area which close to till. When came to our turn, someone pushed in. When I said we were next, they made a fuss, saying they had been there all along (when standing where I had been earlier). They were believed and I wasn't. This was very unpleasant, especially due to what man said. While in queue, I had also seen them walk towards order point, although hadn’t given it any attention. They had pushed in, perhaps unwittingly, but then insisted they were next and made false claims to justify. We left as the queue jumpers insisted they were right and were believed by those serving. Difficult situation for those running cafe. It partly arose due to lack of space to queue for placing orders (gift shelves too close to order/paying point, leaving little room to queue) and lack of clarity on how to order, with no welcome or guidance given. Shame as we’d had a nice day till then and had to leave to find tea and cake etc and a welcome elsewhere.

The Toury is a lovely little cafe that serves the most amazing full breakfast. Great coffee and lovely customer service. They also have excellent cakes and deserts. Highly recommend 1- Club sandwich 2- full fry up 3- latte

Nous y sommes aller après une randonnée qui a terminée tard pour dejeuner, du coup c'etais le seul ouvert, sans regret bien au contraire, Good home food 👌🏻, tarte au citron excellente, club sandwich pareil.

Super bon ! Si vous passez et que vous ne vous dites que ça ne paye pas de mine : arrêtez vous ! Les pâtisseries sont succulentes, les clubs sandwichs très gourmands !

Amazing hamburgers and really good coffee drinks. We got some of our best souvenirs here. Easy walking distance from the Isles of Glencoe hotel where we stayed.

Apparently this ‘local services’ only serves breakfast or lunch. If you arrive twixt the two, at, say, 11:45, you aren’t even offered a menu for lunch, or coffee, or advised what might be available. Customer service with a sigh and a sneer. Travellers travel. We don’t stop according to a ‘menu’ or a derived idea about when we should or shouldn’t need to stop. Please, for tourists next year, hand the management of this place over to someone, anyone, who understands how to make money and what ‘local services’ mean to tourists.

Came to get some breakfast with my family after reading on their website that they have gluten free options, they only had gf bread that went in the same toaster as the normal bread in a very cross contaminated kitchen and a muffin that was surrounded by normal cakes. Really disappointing

After arranging to meet friends who we were crossing paths with ,we had chosen The Gathering at Glencoe as we had been there 10 years ago and enjoyed it.....don't bother, really useless. Plan B was The Quarry ,as it's dog friendly and from now on it's Plan A. Friendly, nice food, good coffee and superb cakes. Staffed by grown-ups,( unlike The Gathering ),who good-naturedly coped with a busy cafe. Basic fare but tasty and generous and reasonably priced for such a busy tourist area.

Breakfast for most of us was probably 2/3 out of 5. Was fine but basic and fairly greasy. Reason this gets 1 star is it advertises as having gluten free options but turns out everything is cooked together so absolutely no options if you’re coeliac. And absolutely no interest from the staff in doing anything to accommodate you, was so disappointing as my brother couldn’t eat anything and we’d travelled specifically because of the (false) advertising.

Nice place for a lunch break. We had club sandwiches and the portions were very generous. Something for everyone but not very fancy

The "visitor centre" is a positive surprise. We went there for tea and food. The shop has a good selection if refreshments. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is rather good. Prices are reasonable for a tourist region. We would go there again.

Excellent coffee and cake. Service brilliant. Lovely little spot under the trees on a very hot and humid day. Just across from the old slate quarry.

Beautiful location beautiful food really nice staff. Dog friendly seating inside and out shop attached is also well stocked

We enjoyed very nice hot sandwiches with quick, friendly service. They have a good menu, would definitely recommend. (bus stops are right outside the door, too)

Extremely helpful staff - Finnan especially went well beyond and called several times to find out about the arrival of a bus ( I was picking up a passenger and there had been an accident on the road ) he kept me informed of any updates and was charming and welcoming. Rory was also very helpful and welcoming

Called in for lunch on the way to our destination. Hot drinks were good as was the food. However I found it expensive for what was provided. I didn’t like the atmosphere in the establishment and got an unfriendly vibe. I wouldn’t recommend or return

We travelled far just to visit this place, great to see it so busy but there didn't appear to be a system in place to take orders properly. We waited so long to get served, then we watched food going out to other tables that had been ordered long after ours. We then had the misfortune of turning away food meant for others, instead of looking at the chit number and matching it up to the table. Part of our order went amiss too but I think the chef finally realised and came out with the dishes. What we saw today was chaotic and it translated into frustrated customers who were paying for a service that wasn't being delivered. It wasn't much of a welcome either and the food didn't taste half as good as it once did. I deeply regret submitting this but I always gave this place 5 stars and shouted it's praises from the rooftops but when things are tough in the world, you're game has to be consistently at it's best of your visiting customers will bypass you and go elsewhere....

Stopped off here with my friend on the way to Glen Coe as we were in search of shortbread to take home from holiday... we bought more than shortbread as the gift shop is excellent! I also bought a framed photo ... there are many...

Good selection of lunch items and especially cakes. Small cafe but popular with locals and tourists alike.

Good selection of food and cake - tasted great . Lovely staff. Plenty of seating. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend

Had an OK breakfast. The coffee cup as very, very difficult to drink from as the hole in the handle was sooo small. Parking was a little tricky due to the lack of spaces.

Had the misfortune of stopping here for a spot of lun travelling north. On the face of it a nice little cafe / shop. However we had the misfortune of meeting and being served by two of the grumpiest unhappy young ladies working in the...

good place for coffees ect traybakes lunches breakfasts social distance in café well observed tables spaced out mask worn sanitiser available friendly helpful staff

A fine stop-off point with good facilities including a coffee shop. We had a simple toasted sandwich and coffees which were just what the doctor ordered and well-presented and tasty. Staff were jolly too.

Surprising find within the tourist information centre. A very pleasant small Café ideal for a light lunch. We had baked potatoes which were well presented with a salad. Friendly staff and prompt service.

Great little unassuming cafe. Fab coffee, toasted sandwich with homemade coleslaw, salad and chips - great quality.

The food was fine and the service was generally okay, but there was one female member of staff who was offhand and rude to customers. Some customer service training is called for or if this member of staff does not improve there will be no...

This was a surprise as me and my companion sought out a place for an early breakfast before hitting the road. Located behind the information centre we were pleasantly surprised by the cafe. Breakfast really hit the spot and set us up for the day....

Best food of the trip! Great wee breakfast and magnificent selection of cakes. Lovely service and best quality coffee North of Glasgow!

Looking for a lunch spot we pulled over at this little place - well hidden in what we thought was an information centre & shop it’s a little gem. The homemade soup was delicious & my other half chose a chicken wrap which was good...

This small cafe is absolutely excellent in a great location which I have been visiting for years when I am in the area. The service and food are always excellent and the lunch options are very good as are the coffee and cake options. It...

Great tourist spot to recharge with a bite to eat, hot drink and pick up some souvenirs. #garystribe #localguides #googleguide #glenncoe #travelblogger #foodblogger

Great selection of good food for lunch. Current restrictions were well handled and allowed us to eat in a friendly, relaxed environment.

This unassuming cafe had the best breakfasts , both vegetarian and full Scottish. Ate there 3 mornings in a row. 2 eggs, tattie scone,beans ,delicious veg haggis , 2 quality veg sausages ,tomatoes and 2 slices of nice,hearty toast. Brilliant coffee too. You wouldn't know it was even there . Fantastic food !

Lockdown procedures in place, track and trace enforced and the welcome is good and once the formalities are out of the way, it is a very relaxed and comfortable.The service was excellent (and we are so grateful as one of our party is an autistic child who struggles with choices) and the server was so patient - grateful thanks!The food is always exceptional, as is the coffee and although they always apologise when they only have the 'sofas available' it is our preferred seating area as it means we can allow our daughter to relax and face away from everyone - it is perfect.We love visiting Ballachulish, we love the small gift shop attached and we love the girl (hope you don't mind us using that term) who served us and love the atmosphere and decoration inside the venue. It's a firm favourite of ours and we hope to return before Christmas just to visit the area and drop in again for coffee.

Lovely little centre with a small gift shop, tourist point and cafe. Cafe serves soups, sandwiches, toasties etc and has a good range of cakes & drinks. We visited twice on the way to & from Corran Ferry and were not disappointed. Toasties and soup were delicious and scones & cakes amazing!

Don’t bother. Sevice awful. No matter how good the food is, it doesnt make up for the wait for a table and or food. Not a single customer inside.

In all the years we've visited Ballachulish, we'd never realised this lovely gift shop and cafe was here! We popped in one rainy day and were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful staff. We had our dog with us but she was made welcome too! Despite being understaffed and run of their feet, our order was served quickly and was delicious. We will certainly visit here again, we loved it!

Good staff. Clean. Reasonably priced good food. Managing the Covid restrictions well. Nice little place to have a snack before or after a walk round the quarry

My wife, daughter and I visited The Quarry Centre this weekend for lunch, whilst staying at the nearby Isles of Glencoe Hotel.Having had a look around the small but well stocked gift shop, we sat ourselves down on the comfy sofas in the cafe and ordered food and drinks. Food was tasty, piping hot, served quickly and the portions were really good. Staff were also pleasant.

Great breakfast good quality ingredients the chicken and bacon club sandwich is a belly buster very friendly staff highly recommend

The best place in the area to go if you're looking for a cooked breakfast. Having tried 2 places previous to finding here, we were disappointed at the number of 'cafes' which didn't serve cooked breakfasts. Enjoyed our food here and staff were friendly. Don't be put off by the outside, it looks like a visitor centre and you wouldn't imagine there being a cafe inside but its a nice little cafe & gift shop inside.

This is a friendly little place. Had soup and tea on a chilly day and then poked around the attractive shop.

A Scottish gift shop/coffee shop/information Centre. There are drinks and light meals available, friendly people who work there, well behaved dogs and children, WiFi and toilets.

Very nice food there and a nice setting. If you want a 5-star place this isn't it but it doesn't need to be.

Had a lovely lunch with my husband. I’m coeliac and they catered for me no problem. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. They offer a variety of soups, sandwiches (gluten free bread available), wraps, jacket potatoes and other hot foods. The cakes look good too! If you’re in the area definitely visit. It is inside the Visitors centre.

Stopped off for a quick lunch. Lovely soup with sandwich in a nice environment and good service. Recommended

Visited here a couple of times. Once after a long morning walk , would recommend their hot chocolate . Also came for breakfast which was lovely. Dont let the outside put you off , there is also a lovely gift shop inside. Well worth a visit .

My sister recommended this place on our visit to Scotland, and it was great value, although from the car park it does not look the most amazing place, inside it is nice and cosy. You can go explore the old slate quarry that is next door, and it allows dogs.

We stopped here on the way to Fort William. Happy to let the dog in with us, food nice and very reasonable priced.

I Ordered the vegetarian haggis... they gave me real haggis... very upsetting for me as a long time vegetarian. People who work with food and advertise that they cater for allergy and dietary restrictions should take more care.

We popped in several times during our stay. It may not look like a great cafe from the outside but it is!

Absolutely lovely, staff are doing a great job keeping all the offers up to date. We went in, plenty of car parking as it’s shared with the CO-op and other local shops. They have plenty of tastefully set tables.

Nous y sommes allés pour le petit déjeuner. Parking situé en face. Lieu typique avec une partie vente de produits et une partie restauration. Large choix pour le petit déjeuner. Cookies et sandwichs au bacon divins. Concernant le chocolat chaud malteser ou oréo, tout est parfaitement dosé pour donner une boisson délicieuse !

We went here on a number of occasions during a recent trip to the area. The food was always fantastic and the service was great and always friendly. A must - cafe, shop and lots of information about the local area.

Visited today with my mum and granny for lunch. We all had toasties and cakes which were delicious. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great atmosphere and lovely little place. Will be back!

Chose this cafe as it’s not that far off the road when we were travelling to Balloch.

Comimos haggis en opción vegetariana y opción carne; también queso con macarrones. Servicio rápido. Sitio agradable. Baños adaptados.

Enjoy going there for lunch very often always lovely lunches there and the salads are delicious. Nice little café and crafts shop

We stopped into this lovely wee cafe on our way home from holiday. The food was lovely, the cakes were delicious, and they have a great range in loose leaf tea. The service was great. Would recommend, and will drop in again if passing.

We intended to have two take away coffees as we had our chocolate Labrador with us and the lady said he was more than welcome inside - so we were then tempted by the delightful home bakes - OMG I had the banoffie pie - oh boy - delish- the staff were so friendly and we had a lovely chat with the lady from Rhodesia - fab wee gift shop - couldn’t resist a wee purchase - i didn’t think it looked much from outside but please don’t make the mistake of passing by without popping in - we will def be back - so will the dog as he had a wee tin of ice cream

I had a baked potato with pulled pork. Very delicious. Staff so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a pit stop here. The gift shop has a variety of locally made products with a good Scottish theme.

do so love this place. close to the slate mine. free parking available. inside is a lovely shop selling all kinds of Scottish themed articles. the main attraction for me though is the cafe. redecorated in lovely shades with stunning framed photo's. I ordered my favourite: a panini with haggis, cheddar cheese and tomatoes. it comes with vegetable crisps, a very fresh looking side salad and home made coleslaw. looks very attractive. Staff are very friendly. toilets cost 50 pence but think they do not belong to the cafe.

Once again went here for lunch and it never disappoints the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is very good and the especially helpful staff will advise other establishments nearby for dinner. Definitely be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommended.

This is a great cafe with very friendly service. After a hike in the hills behind the cafe, with plenty of snow, it was fantastic to find this cafe, my son and I only had a hot chocolate and a latte, but both were very nice.

Came in with some friends after a short walk. Ordered a Club Sandwich and it was remarkable. It was huge, very generous, very tasty. Everyone else had good stuff too. The tea was top, there was plenty of it. Some people had quite astonishing hot chocolate creations. Great cafe!

Excellent choice for lunch or coffee and cake stop always very excellent quality food and very good service.

We called in here during our photography trip to the Rannoch Moor area. We were impressed by the freshly cooked breakfast which was made from high quality ingredients. the toast was thick, the sausages lovely, the eggs perfectly fried and great bacon too. The potato scone was the best I had had in the area too. All washed down with a large pot of tea. One of our compliment was a vegetarian and the quorn sausage was very good apparently. One of us had some haggis which was good also. No complaints form our veggie guest at all. The staff were great and helped us get hold of a HDMI to HDMI cable... in the middle of nowhere!!! Will go again when the next photography course runs in March 2019 :)

Friendly service in a cafe with Scottish music on the stereo and a gift shop attached to it. Big breakfast with a side of haggis, not cheap but very tasty. Coffee was decent and cakes looked good.

Had an impromptu lunch here, must say service good, everything freshly made, food quality excellent and very large portions. It is competively price, but for the amount and quality of food well worth a visit.

We had stopped at so many visitor shops the last several days but this one had the best variety. They were less on some items seen at the NTS stores, but overall they had different and interesting gifts. So happy we stopped in here!

Stopped here after a cycle ride on route 78,excellent home made food and great staff. Stopped again for breakfast on the way home, lovely bacon and egg sandwich and good coffee. Definitely worth a visit

Stopped in twice, lovely food both times, cooked on the premises. Freshly made pea and ham soup was a delight. Big breakfast with haggis also highly recommended! Staff very friendly and helpful. Tourist information and visitor centre/shop also on site.

Stopped for lunch on the way to Glencoe. Friendly staff. Tourist information and a nice shop with a cafe at the back. The food was delicious. We ordered sandwiches - they were huge with loads of filling, side salad and crisps. Would come here again.

Sat navigation took us on different route than normal from Inverness. Stopped here gor our rest and was glad of the route recalculation.

This has become something of a regular for Sunday lunch while out walking.

Stopped here for late lunch on way home from holidays - we decided to eat in the car as toddler granddaughter was asleep. We ordered two cheese burgers and a cheese toastie which came to about £21 as I recall. Here we go again, I thought, as there are so many overpriced eateries in the Highlands serving below standard food, but boy was I wrong. We had wanted chips, which the cafe doesn't do and just as well because we could not have eaten them - the burgers were absolutely massive! Real delicious melted cheddar cheese and lovely relish with salad on top of a juicy perfectly cooked burger. We sat in silence looking out at the rain as we munched our way through these monsters! Grandson also devoured the toastie. Plenty of fuel to see us the last few hours home. Highly recommended.

Located in the visitor centre. Parking place in front, bus stop opposite. They sell souvenirs, sweets, have loads of brochures. There is also a café overlooking the quarry. Was positively surprised by the quality. Ordered a wrap with haggis, cheese and chutney. Served with small green salad,vegetable crisps and red cabbage salad. Very yummie, staff is very friendly.

Lovely fresh breakfast, glad hotel was room only as it made us make effort to visit here before walking the quarry trail. Highly recommend!

Popped in here on a VERY rainy day, initially for just a hot cup of coffee. From the very unassuming exterior, we had no idea that they would have such a nice gift shop area as well as the coffee shop/cafe area. We picked up...

This cafe is small and doesn't look like much from outside but serves delicious food cheerfully. Highly recommend.

Another late lunch for us after exploring in Glencoe, we both had a burger each i picked the Braveheart & the wife had the Ballachulish, both were very nice & a good size excellent value for money

Una excelente cafetería donde el personal era muy amable y servicial. Paramos aquí para un almuerzo tarde con dos niños y dos niños muy completo y feliz. La comida era fantástica y bien servida. Mi única queja: el lugar era lo suficientemente atareado que tuvimos que sentarnos en los cómodos sofás, no idea cuando la alimentación un niño pero estábamos al lado de los juguetes y libros que los pequeños portado muy bien como resultado.

Paramos para el café, está bien, el servicio era lento y café sólo bien. Carga de tipo de cosas turísticas, todo parecía caro. Los aseos un poco mal

Very friendly helpful staff. Been on various visits, usually for coffee and cake. My wife said the peppermint slice she had was the best she'd ever tasted!Our last visit we hand lunch, which consisted of the Quarry Burger and Highlander Burger. Quick service and boy were they good!!! They come with salad and vegetable crisps as well.Heartily recommend :)

An excellent little cafe. My wife and I have never tried the food, although it looks excellent, but we have enjoyed tea there on several occasions and the staff are always welcoming. A great little shop as well.

great food , and a popular meeting place for visitors and locals alike .the staff are really friendly ,and service is quick . the Ballachulish slate quarry is just across the road, a good chance for a wee after lunch walk . it ticks all the boxes !

Accueil sympa au Quarry Centre. Fait salon de thé et vend de l'artisanat local, pas forcément donné ni très original. Avons fait une halte boissons chaudes et fraîches avec les enfants. Très bon accueil et produits faits maison. Certains clients semblent avoir leurs habitudes ; ici, on se sent un peu comme à la maison. Merci.

Called in after walking round the nearby quarry and Brecklet Trail. It was a wet day, so getting in for some hot food and a rest was most welcomed.Good service and plenty of options on the menu.Well stocked craft (souvenir) shop as well.

Six of us, aged 8 to 69, enjoyed various dishes: wraps, macaroni, cheese, soup, etc in delightful surroundings where we could also choose postcards or a gift for a friend AND learn something of the slate quarrying history of the area.

Lovely place with a lovely team who provide a warm welcome and all the information of the area.The bread pudding is fantastic and they have a good range of food; from cakes to hamburgers and soups. Very recommendable.

Desperate for food earlier today, this was the only place we could find that was open. The Quarry Centre Café is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for"; food was cheap and not very good at all. Soup took twenty minutes to cool down, it must have been reheated to within an inch of its life in a microwave, the sandwiches bland and tasteless. The blaring Gaelic music was so awful I wondered if this is what Van Gogh was listening to when he chopped his ear off! The so called local arts and crafts was mostly cheap internet sourced junk. If you absolutely must eat and this is your last resort before contemplating cannibalism then go for it, otherwise pack a picnic or wait until you get to your destination. This place is not worth your time or money.

Stopped at this cafe for a quick cuppa and a wee cake. So glad we did ...ate the most amazing mint aero cake. Great selection to choose from too. A must stop if your in the area.
