The Tearoom in Orkney Islands

This cafe is up towards Graham Place from the main street. We enjoyed soup, toasties, coffees and two slices of a deliciously moist chocolate cake before setting off for the St Margaret's Hope ferry. It was very relaxed with a friendly atmosphere, with local artwork on the walls, some for sale. Service was excellent and we would recommend this as somewhere to eat after visiting the town's excellent museum.

A lovely and friendly cafe with amazing cakes and food, you will go more than once in a week!! A beaultiful display of cakes welcomes you when stepping into The Tearoom, the ladies take your order at the table and always a pleasant chat and smile. The Afternoon Tea is wow, great cakes, sandwiches and all served on vintage plates a lovely touch.

可愛い内装のカフェ。 お茶の種類が豊富で、楽しめます。 名前はtearoomですが、コーヒーもあります。ケーキもいくつか ありゆっくりした時間を過ごせます。

Lovely little cafe with excellent home bakes and really nice staff.Nice place to have coffee and cake, soup, sandwich etc and enjoy the company

I visited the Tea room this summer and asked if the Lemon Meringue cake was on the menu. I had it last year and it was delicious! Not only did I have it baked to order but I bought the whole cake and got it home to the New Forest! I froze it and shared it with family and friends and they all agreed it was the best lemon meringue cake ever! Thank you so much and see you again next year.

Another nice little tea room which serves tea/coffee and cake for those thirsty travellers around the island. Stromness is a delightful place and well worth a visit. Lovely little streets, unspoilt by time. One of my favourite places in the Orkney islands.

Had coffee and scones which were delicious. However very disappointed to see all but one of the staff preparing food wearing no apron or protective clothing. One then took a black bag of rubbish out and came back and handled food again without washing their hands

The decor of this cafe is quirky and art work on the wall is very nice to look at. Appart from the art this place is unfortunately a complete disappointment. Firstly The food is extremely expensive. How on earth they can justify charging nearly £7 for a corination chicken panni is behond me. The cake we had was meant to have white chocolate frosting but it was much closer to butter icing which wasnt great. Strawberry milkshake was warm and definitely a powder one. It's just really lazy not to use cold milk and ice cream like most places do. So there you have it deffintley against the grain compared to other reviews which could just boil down to a off day, but be wary of prices as other places are cheaper!

Quaint, great baking and friendly service, good coffee and an excellent selection of teas. They also do very good lunches, home made soup etc.

Cute busy little tearoom, just of one of the main streets in Stromness. Homemade soup and plenty of gluten free choices. Enjoyed our visit and good prices too

Pretty and delicious, The Tearoom offered us a delicious lunch of soup, toasties, and tea served in beautiful cups. Hope we can make it back for cake,

Always a good choice of GF cake, and quality teas. I love to visit this tea room and look forward to my next visit. Always very clean and welcoming.

Although easy to miss, it is well worth looking for this very cosy, classic tea room. It's located just off the main street that runs through Stomness. The coffee is good and it appears to be rightly popular for its homemade soups. The service is very friendly.

We stopped in taking a break while walking around Stromness. It is a pleasant room with a good selection of things to eat and drink. Our mocha beverages were perfect on a chilly day.

A great find tucked up a lane off the main street. Warm welcome and amazing lunch on a cold day. Beautiful soup and toasted sandwiches. Would highly recommend.

We went here for lunch, and very good it was! They had soup - the day we stopped by it was Thai sweet tattie and coconut, and it was delicious. They also have sandwiches and all sorts of scrumptious cakes. Do stop by if you visit Stromness!

Stopped in for lunch - simple (soup and toasted sandwiches) - but always tasty, with prompt and friendly service.

Stopped in on a dreich day to sunny smiles and a great soup and sandwich. The day we were in the soup was spicy bean, a thick, hearty delight to warm us on a blustery afternoon. I chose a cheese toastie which was highly recommended....just like Mom used to make! The coffee was made properly but after all that I just didn’t have room for dessert.

Always good. Consistently tasty soups and cakes. My baby and toddler loves their ‘picky plates’. All round lovely peedie cafe.

Just popped in for a coffee to warm ourselves up, such a cute little shop very friendly quirky little spot perfect for our little break

On a wet day in Stromness this little café was just what we were looking for -and not really expecting to find. The Tearoom looks like it's someone's front room, but the atmosphere was homely too. The staff were helpful and the food looked good; hot soup and other options were available but we only really wanted a good cuppa. Actually we opted for a cream tea and that was really good value.

We grabbed a couple of sandwiches here to take back to our self catered cottage. Both were delicious. The cakes were also amazing including a millionaires flapjack. Yum.

What a lovely cafe, serving tea pigs tea which was excellent followed by wonderful spiced lentil and coconut soup. As we were on a tight schedule we had cake to go. What a treat for later that day.

We were in Stromness for a lunchtime visit.We walked along the main street and sawa sign for the Tearoom in a side street. The staff were welcoming and the cafe quite full - always a good sign. We had sandwiches and tea - all nicely made and presented all at a very goodprice.

We found this little gem while searching a surprisingly quiet Stromness. A party of us descended on the place and the staff coped admirably and served us with smiles. Would recommend to all.

Decided to have a spot of lunch and chose the Tearoom as I hadn't been there before. Had a 'soup and toasted sandwich' combo, which was excellent. The mushroom soup was particularly tasty.

a welcome and quirky find for food in Stormness, Fast service when they were really really busy, somewhat chaotic way to order and pay, everyone queuing at the same point in crowded space. Friendly. Hearty atmosphere. Can sit outside or in. Nice tea, Sandwiches ok,. Cakes looked amazing and genuinely homemade, there, didn't have time to try one. Appreciate how busy they are in tourist season. Independent cafes knock spots of the chains, but felt the place just a tiny spot of something more - in my opinion - a dash of TLC or something.

We had just arrived in Stromness off the ferry and found this fantastic tea room tucked up a side street. Great cakes and service, also for celiacs. Thanks

We had lunch in this little tearoom and can highly recommend it. Tucked up a side street from the main thoroughfare through Stromness it made a wonderful restful stop on a busy day. Food and service both excellent. Will definitely return on our next trip.

We were strolling through beautiful Stromness when the lady expressed and inkling for cream tea.

Homely touches tell you straight away this is going to be good. And it is. An extensive tea menu would give this place a USP anywhere but in Stromness it really stands out. I had popcorn tea which was very pleasant and didn’t taste green at all. My husband had English breakfast tea and pecan pie - reported as excellent and clearly home made.

I enjoyed my tea and cake here so much that I came two days running! Lovely range of teas and very tasty gluten free cake (lemon meringue cake)

Just having some time walking around Stromness we came upon The Tearoom so decided to pop in, good choice, lovely cream tea for two, very pleasant staff, nice clean and tidy.

Had a light lunch and then cake .. just delicious. A lovely tearoom with friendly homely staff. This is certainly a place to go to and very reasonably price.

We had sandwiches, soup, tea, and desserts. All were excellent. The service was good too. Toilet was clean. Only caution is that the place is small and can get crowded easily.

We had the best cake we have had on our travels in the islands of Scotland today, peach & rasberry cake was delicious. We love a good cake this one has so far been the best we have been in Arran, Islay and the Outer Hebrides and we have had good cake but this was the best, not to mention the tea & coffee which were great. Took home some choclate brownies & tea fruit cake as well.

Definitely worth a visit whilst in Stromness. The coffee was excellent and the soup and sandwich (lentil soup with gluten-free ham and cheese toastie was amazing and all fresh and home made.

We came here one morning during our holiday, and enjoyed it so much, we came right back the next day. We had the cream teas & scones, coffees and paninis. All were excellent. Service is top notch. What I also really liked was the interior design, it was just perfect and created a very relaxing and welcoming space, perfectly reflecting its seaside town setting.

This small, quaint tea room appears to be a 'go to' place for the locals. A lot goes on in this precious gem. I had soup, but the desserts are beautiful and many were enjoying them.

Great tea, coffee and home baking served in friendly and pleasant environment. We left my octogenarian dad here while we explored some of the wee nooks in Stromness. We did collectbhim and take him home!

Had afternoon tea here, the Tearoom is tucked away up a little alley, inside its warm and cozy, has a vintage feel. The menu is simple with an emphasis on quality and using local produce where possible. The staff are friendly. The afternoon tea was delicious and at only £12 a person good value, I have had afternoon tea at several places which were much more expensive and not half as good. The selection of sandwiches were varied, fresh and very tasty, personal likes and dislikes can be taken into consideration, the scones with butter and jam were very good and the cake selection was excellent and all home baked, a nice twist on millionaires shortbread was millionaires flapjack which was seriously good. All washed down with a pot of tea served in China teacups, perfect.

Nice tearoom, with a good selection of home-made cakes , etc. Reasonably priced food and friendly staff.

Fab little place, what a find. We decided to try The Tearoom for lunch as we had not eaten here before. We are so glad we did!

A great place to stop and enjoy a good coffee and delicious baking. Friendly staff. They do a lunch menu too but haven't tried that. Looks good though.

Visited here today with my wife and her parents and I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit.

Fresh innovative soups in a cozy environment, great cakes, sandwiches and coffee. Look it up if you're visiting Stromness.

We stopped into the Tearoom on our first full day on the Mainland. We were part of a small hiking tour of 8 people and were hungry from a morning of walking. Despite hitting the Tearoom at peak lunch time, they were able to accommodate us - and we were so glad they did.

Thank goodness we found this place before we left Stromness. Lovely tea and home-made cakes. Great service. It's a long trip from Epsom but worth it!

This was my favorite place during our 1-week trip to the Orkney Islands. Delicious sandwiches, soups and cookies!

Worth checking out if in Stromness. Cakes were very tasty and made we were told on site. Its located up a side street off the main street through the town so can be missed if you are not aware it is there.

Situated up a little hill off the main road through Stromness, this vintage tea room was easy to find and well worth looking for. Having stumbled across reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to give it a try and were really pleased with what we found.

My friend suggested to go out for tea to catch up. She mentioned about this place. I've not been in Stromness for 2 years so was very keen to try it out. What a lovely place! Very welcoming and warm. Fantastic choice of cakes. Coffee was very good as well. I will be going back

China plates, jug. Caffetiere normal white cups. Scone nice. Warm and busy at coffee time. Lacy decorations.

It was a beautiful sunny morning in the Orkney Isles and we were walking along Dundas Street in Stromness. It's very a picturesque street and runs just behind the harbour.

A very friendly cafe in the heart of delightful Stromness. We stayed in Mainland Orkney for 6 days and had coffee or lunch here most days. Good quality food ,delicious hot chocolate. No rush ,a good place to unwind .

Probably the nicest tea rooms on the island forget about the large tea room by the pier this is a little gem, good coffee but more importantly great home made cakes. Be sure to get there early as we sat and saw a lot of people turned away as there wasn't any tables left. Couches arrive from the cruise ships mid morning and the town get flooded with tourists so get there at 10:00 when it opens or after 15:00 it closes at 16:00.

We had the best ever homemade soup (red pepper and lentil) in this lovely little tearoom and we can also highly recommend the sandwiches and toasties, which are also freshly made using quality local ingredients. We found that Stromness was generally very short on nice places to eat and The Tearoom was a gem of a find.

Just walking into the The Tearoom should be enough to tell you that you've found somewhere special, as it looks so inviting - and that's even before you notice the tempting display of home baking. There was so much we might have chosen, but as it was early afternoon, three of the four of us decided on the soup and sandwich deal - a wise choice as it turned out, as the soup was exceptional, in our case a very substantial broccoli and stilton variety, bursting with flavour. The sandwiches were lovely, too: with a choice of any two of the listed fillings available offering a wide variety of tasty combinations .

We attended the tea room a few times during our last visit to Stromness, both as a couple and a family. I must say that I can not fault it, the atmosphere and staff were fantastic and completely welcoming and accommodating.

We were recommended this place by a Stromness local, a friend ours. We ended up going for lunch twice here during our holidays, and can thoroughly recommend it. In summary: tasty food, reasonable prices for the quality of food, friendly staff, and pretty surroundings. It's up a side street- look for their street board to know which one. You may have to wait to be seated (it's popular), but if it's not raining, sit on the steps outside. We sat in Stromness sunshine, whilst looking through the menu. Great selection of teas, and lovely cakes have to be mentioned specifically.

Stopped for lunch at this superb little tea room, having spotted the sign on the Main Street. It is situated a short walk up the lane beside a book shop and is a must to visit. My wife had a cream tea and I had sandwiches with a coffee. Everything was fresh and excellent.

We were drawn to Stromness by the description of the iconic high street but it seemed strangely dour and quiet until we asked a passing worthy, and she explained that what we need was the little hidden tea room up the side street. "Wonderful soup!" she said in answer to our inquiries.

Excellent little tearoom up a side street in Stromness - look out for the advertising board on the main street. Great service in this very clean and welcoming establishment.

Excellent - packed so popular but we quickly got a table. Soup, food and cakes absolutely delicious with great service. The chocolate cheese cake was SO GOOD that after snaffling a taste of my wife's I scored the last helping 🙄🦄

We found this lovely cafe on a very wet Saturday afternoon. Look out for the sign at the bottom of the lane or you will miss a real treat. We had the best home made tomato soup I've had in a very long time. With beautiful tasty bread. Followed by home made cake - Lemon cake and Victoria sandwich. Light, melt in the mouth and delightful. Love that they have teapigs tea. Watched as the fresh scones were served straight out of the oven for one lucky couple. All at a very reasonable price for Orkney. A gem not to be missed!

We saw the sign pointing up hill from the main street. Excellent teas and tasty pastries! Very friendly service. The type of olace that makes one want to return to Scotland. Highly recommended!

An absolutely adorable small, clean and friendly cafe. Excellent for soup, sandwiches, paninis, toasties, cakes, scones,tarts, and much more. Staff were wonderful and attentive, and the food was superb. We will be back soon. X

Whilst visiting relatives in Stromness we dropped into this tea room for lunch. The service was first class. Lovely fresh sandwiches and great home made scones. The young lady serving was a pleasure to talk to. The tea room was very busy at the time we visited and it was no problem for the staff to cope with the influx of customers. I would recommend this tea room to anybody when they are visiting Stromness. We visit Stromness annually and will certainly be back here.

After much searching of Stromness for a lunch venue we eventually found this lovely small cafe. Food and service excellent try the soup and sandwich deal,we did and loved it,

Just back from a lovely lunch at The Tearoom. The service was excellent, teas tasted great and the food was fantastic! The best Victoria Sponge I have had. Will 100% be back.

Just had a beautiful coffee and the most delicious cake. I'm a huge fan of bread and butter pudding, but have never seen it presented as a cake. The Tearoom had bread and butter cake, and it didn't disappoint. A delicious slice of naughty indulgence. My wife's caramel and pecan roulade was also mouth-wateringly lovely.

3 generations of us turned up on a wet and windy day and we all loved this small cafe. Received a warm welcome, lots of tea in china cups and lovely food. You have to try the scones and caramel chocolate cake. Mmmm

First visit to this cafe today......and certainly won't be the last! Pleasant staff, delicious millionaire's shortbread and the best Americano I've had in Orkney!!

Lovely wee tearoom with a vintage feel. The mint chocolate cake was gorgeous! Also unusual TeaPig flavours I haven't come across in other cafes. (I tried a chocolate Assam blend!) Will visit again, as I spied they do cream teas.

Warm welcome, friendly atmosphere, good tea and great cakes. Light lunches, too. An asset to Stromness.

A lovely cafe with friendly staff and great food. The sweet potato and coconut soup was delicious as was the lemon sponge cake. 6 of us were seated easily including a toddler. Everyone really enjoyed their food and we would definitely return.

Amazing cakes and lunches in a beautiful vintage tea room. Very family friendly and great prices! Lovely family run friendly tea room!

Wow fantastic cosy place. Wonderful wholesome soups and tasty sandwiches, toasties & wraps. The homebakes are out of this world with gluten free options. The Tearoom also has great options for kids.

a realy nice place, delicious food and coffee, the teapigs tea is really nice! overall a lovely trip

Totally worth a visit, delicious cake and food!! Friendly staff and very reasonably priced, a must if visiting Orkney

Fantastic family friendly tearoom and the staff are very nice and helpful I recommend this if you are ever in Orkney/ stromness
