Yellow Hare in Argyll & Bute

Coffee snobs celebrate! This unexpected gem serves the BEST coffee in Scotland. And the cake selection is splendid too. Make sure you pop in when you are on the island - even if you don’t have a ferry to catch.

Just simply lovely homecooked food- freshly made and really pleasant staff. The victoria sponge is absolutely delish!

I had good hot coffee, toasted bagel with creme fraiche, bacon and cheddar - and it was lovely, cost £9 odds. Friendly and helpful staff - it technically closes 4pm but the lady kept the cafe open until i'd had my bagel and coffee, which was very kind. Others in the cafe were having cocktails, which the Yellow Hare also sells - wine, espresso martinis, etc. Sells arts and crafts, art materials, postcards, souvenirs. Not tacky in any way, sells nice and quality items. 2 mins from ferry terminal. There is a launderette nearby which I think is also part of the establishment (?) and handy for holiday makers. Public toilet also available for customers.

Excellent cafe right beside ferry port. We visited twice while on Tiree Excellent latte , hot and chilled. One of the best. Delicious cakes. We tried the Victoria sponge , iced gingerbread and wonderful empire biscuits. Everyone needs to visit. Does get very busy when waiting on the ferry but part of the fun. Dog friendly too.

loved this place, we had coffee and cake a couple of times during our stay and then inevitably when going for our ferry home - great coffee, great service and atmosphere - very much recommended

Great wee cafe with lots of lovely gifts too. Dog friendly. Bagels were absolutely delicious and great selection of cakes and bakes. Plenty of vegan, gluten, dairy free etc.

Nice little cafe offering breakfast rolls and pancakes, filled bagels all day and antipasti platters in the afternoon. They have cakes and scones and afternoon tea too. There is a nice selection of local island gins and some nice gifts all packed into a small cabin near the ferry terminal. Worth a stop but beware menu changes at set times 11am and 2pm I think so you may be disappointed if you miss your item of choice.

Lovely cafe and gift shop. Fab Americanos and home baking. Thank you Kate, you are a busy lady but still made the time to chat! Hope to see you again in August.

The Yellow Hare is a small dog friendly restaurant & gift shop on the Island of Tiree Scotland. It has recently been refurbished and is looking great. The service is great. Kate & her staff are very friendly as is her wee dog Billy. Kate bakes all her own food and it is excellent. There is also an out side seating area and a laundrette. Opening times are to suit ferry times. Great wee place to visit.

Handy for car park and does great coffee and eats and homemade cake, also has a launderette for mid break freshening of clothes.

If you want a snack or a drink I can recommend the Yellow Hare. The owner was friendly and her dog is hilarious - he sits up and begs when his owner isn't watching. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. There are also gifts for sale in the café.

This charming little cafe is definitely in the 5 star category! Leaving Tiree on a Saturday morning after a lovely week's holiday, I'd aimed to have a quick look at An Turas and pick up takeaway coffee and hot chocolate as we waited for the ferry. Naturally as this was peak holiday season with many folk booked to arrive for TMF, the CalMac ferry managed to break down overnight, with the replacement ferry delayed over three hours. I'm not sure it'd be fair to say that I was glad of the delay, but it did give us more time to explore An Turas and enjoy a rather more leisurely coffee than we'd expected. Everything about Yellow Hare is just right. There is a really good range of souvenirs for travellers in a rush to get something to take home to remind themselves of this beautiful island, much of which is produced by local businesses. The food and drink offering is also just what folk will be looking for as they wait. And the quality is fantastic. I had a truly memorable chai latte - and there was a lot of it too - while my teenage son told me that his hot chocolate was 'banging', which I believe means very good! We enjoyed sitting at one of the tables outside, in a sheep-proof enclosure, enjoying the moment and the view over Gott Bay. The owner was so kind and friendly. The time passed quickly and pleasantly. Before we knew it, the replacement ferry had arrived. Stopping only to say hello to a friendly CalMac employee who I recognised from a BBC Alba documentary on Tiree a couple of years ago, we were soon on our way in good spirits and with happy memories of this beautiful island.

Called in here last week. Lovely coffee and fantastic selection of cakes. Went for the millionaire shortbread which was amazing. Outdoor seating area available where it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet.

We called in to get a coffee to take to the beach and were tempted by the cakes - oh my! I think the Clootie Dumpling is awesome, our daughter raves about the brownies and the Dundee Cake is just the ticket after a day in the surf. Yes service can be slow at times, if there's a queue due to the ferry, but this is Tiree and time pressures shouldn't be a feature of your holiday. Will be ordering a box of Brownies to send to our Uni student daughter as a memory of a lovely 2 week break.

Lovely staff, fantastic coffee and cake. I spent a rather wet and windy morning sitting here reading a book and talking to the locals - great place to while a way a few hours!

Tiree is a small island so you don't necessarily expect much from a small space structure close to the ferry port terminal and next to a car hire place...so what a lovely surprise this was. It was blowing a gale so we could not sit outside but the inside seating was snug and added to the vibe. A little gift section and a good coffee and cake selection. I was surprised to see other visitors tucking in to meat and cheese boards and a fancy sarnie. Gluten free and vegan options too for those with those needs so all in all quite the surprise. Lovely friendly service and a resident pup. Glad we found it.

Having followed them on Instagram on the build up to our trip I was looking forward to our visit here. Unfortunately it was very disappointing as we were made to feel that our order was an imposition (and actually ordered less than we planned because of it). Add to that the one member of staff abandoning the place to go greet someone off the ferry leaving a line of people waiting not good Oh and it's only dog friendly if your dog likes the resident dog coming up every few minutes and pursuing you across the road as you leave. I hate leaving negative reviews but I had such high hopes and we were made to feel very unwelcome.

excellent all round - welcome, food range, quality and price, and a good selection of quality gifts.

Set close to the ferry terminal, this was one of the few places open for coffee and cake on Tiree in mid October. Excellent, friendly, service and good quality. Nice selection of local gifts too.

Absolutely one of the best coffee's I've had, and the cranberry and mocha cake was delicious. It may be small inside, but it's small and mighty. Will be back when I'm next on the island

Visited on 4 occasions and thoroughly enjoyed each visit Coffee was lovely and the baking excellent Caramel shortcake was amazing .Kate the owner we found to be very friendly and look forward to ordering online over the winter months

It was a pleasure to meet the lovely Kate, who was friendly and welcoming. The coffee, bagels and cakes were top class. There is a great selection of gifts and artwork too. Dog friendly which is always helpful.

Great coffee and cake, close to ferry terminal. Service was slow and not particularly friendly which is a shame.

Been here for coffees, cakes, snacks lunch etc. My son was delighted at the gluten free cake options, lots to choose from and all looked delicious, it gets very busy so make sure you have time and when we were there it was cash only...

Had a look at their gift shop on our first day on the island, food looked lovely and guy that runs it was really friendly, lots of good information about services on Tiree. Went back a few days later for an excellent coffee and cake.

We popped in for a hot chocolate and it was really tasty. It is a small cafe / gift shop with only a few seats. It is right by the Pier so handy for the ferry.

Enjoyed our coffee here and the cakes were very good too. Right by the ferry terminal so handy for takeaway if going on the ferry.

We stayed on the Isle of Tiree for 3 nights and found everyone very welcoming and friendly until we went for coffee at the Yellow Hare. The lady who served us was rude and unfriendly and made us feel very unwelcome and we couldn't leave...

So, there are young people on the island 😉Thanks for the great coffee, great service and great gossip!

On extremely rainy day we visited Yellow Hare coffee shop which was very welcome break after 2 hours walking from campsite. Didn’t expect much just wanted cup of tea and break from the rain. But than emerged this lovely lady who dried our soaked through...

On a windy rainy day - or on any day, come to that - there’s no better place to enjoy a warming cappuccino and a selection of scrummy homemade cakes than the Yellow Hare. Kate is a very welcoming proprietor and made us feel at...

coffee fab, rocky road delicious Great friendly staff, happy to be seeing visitors again, lovely to sit outside in the sun and enjoy your snacks

Self-catering on Tiree for a week, we went in search of a place that was open (most are closed because of Covid19) and had some souvenirs for sale. The Yellow Hare had everything from keyrings and place mats to art prints and jewellery. I even...

Ordered lemon tarts from their website. Despite living hundreds of miles away, they travelled very well and came in a very nice box. Best lemon tarts I’ve had!

Fab coffee and cakes, together with a trove of the unusual from jigsaw puzzles and pens to beautiful jewellery and LOTS more. A cheerful and outstanding service second to none - and ploughing on through these most difficult of times. Buy 'local' - you won't be disappointed.

Very good coffee (just like last year) and a nice wee place, maybe space for just 8 people at one time, but they do takeaways too. And also a place to maybe get yourself a memento of Tiree while you're there. They sell good quality products, as well as lovely chocolate bars and such.

There is so much potential if they had a staff change. One older member of staff made my visit incredibly uncomfortable for their disrespectful attitude and behaviour. I felt she negatively impacted on other staff members who forgot my change and other minor things to try and balance her behaviour.Very sad to write such a review and appreciate the other staff members who tried hard to improve customer satisfaction, but sadly will not be returning.

Visited the Yellow Hare three times during our eight night campervan and kayaking holiday as we couldn’t get enough of the delicious coffee and excellent selection of cake.It also sells a range of excellent quality gifts, such as the pair of ‘local bird’ mugs, which we bought to keep in the camper, as a memento of our visit to the island.

This tiny shop next to the CalMac ferry terminal served some of the best coffee I’ve ever had! Ideal for a quick stop off while exploring the island.

Great coffee and lovely cakes. I can recommend the Victoria sponge. Small inside but outside seating too. A nice range of crafts as well.

Immaculate, extremely friendly, delicious home made cakes, best coffee on the island, cosy, warm, relaxed, welcoming... A visit to the Yellow Hare is a must when you visit this enchanting island.

We have visited this place before and were not impressed but our visit in 2019 left us feeling much more impressed. Lovely coffee, take out service much appreciated as it was a very wet day and we were waiting for family members to come out of the sea from a kite surfing session. We treated ourselves to a cake too, and the flapjack which I chose got rave review from us all - supremely tasty, deliciously moist and something we will be calling in for when we are waiting in the ferry queue tomorrow!

Fabulous small cafe near the pier. Super friendly efficient staff. Great coffee freshly ground.Absolutely delicious home baked cakes. What more could one wish for a coffee stop.

Kate was our host for the several times we nipped into this small but perfectly-formed café. What was good about it? Firstly, Kate's great; also the hot chocolate; the coffees; the cakes...it's all great.

While waiting for our ferry we were in deperate need of tea and cake and found this little gem. Many of the cakes are gluten free and the tea and coffees were hot and delicious. There are tables outside so you can sit in the sun to enjoy you food and drinks. There is also facilities here.

Arrived having found everything closed within walking distance of the ferry to find an oasis of tea and simple cakes. Quick, efficient and very tasty. Loved the chocolate macaroons!

This was the only cafe open on a Sunday on the island but well worth a visit at any time. Lovely coffee and cake plus a really lovely selection of gifts. There is not much seating inside but we were fortunate. There is, however, a number of seats outside for when it is a bit warmer.

We popped in a couple of times, once for coffee to take to the beach and then when waiting for the boat home. Very bright and modern space with a tasteful range of gifts on offer. The coffee drinkers among us were very satisfied.

Found this by accident as we needed petrol. Lovely shop and great welcome. Coffee is reasonably priced. Gift shop is very expensive. Just enough room for 4 people and the shop is over crowded. Worth a visit. Parking is on the main car park.

Nice for a quick coffee and cake. Only a few seats inside but plenty outdoor seating if the weather is dry.

Great coffee and selection of vegan / gluten free goodies. Would have liked a bacon roll when we visited in the morning but in their words they are “all about the cake” which was excellent!

Very near the ferry terminal so useful when waiting for the ferry. Excellent cakes and friendly staff!

I stop here while I was cycling around the island for a cup a tea. The tea was good and the lady who served me very nice and pleasantly we spoke with each other. But I do wish they had tea pots instead of cup with a tea bag I was providing with a small dish to place the tea bag in to which was good as I don’t like it when you have to leave the tea bag on the saucer.

Great wee place where you can get real coffee to sit in or takeaway, and a good selection of home baking.

The building is a bit unprepossessing, and the seating is limited, but the best coffee bar none. Visited a couple of times, drawn back by that amazing flat white. They also have a good selection of quite classy and interesting gifts all beautifully wrapped.

The cakes looked fabulous, although I didn't have one. The hot chocolate was lovely - no watery rubbish here! Very sweet little place!

If you've been to Tiree you'll know that the pier is a fair way from the rest of Scarinish. This little place means that there's a lovely coffee and gift shop to spend time in or grab a takeaway coffee from while you queue to get on the ferry.

2* rubbish, if I was in any restaurant, cafe, and I wasnt informed of the schedule nearto closing Id be surprised. Surely to do so is a courtesy to the customer, next time your planes delayed will you critique the French ATC probably not.

Yellow Hare is a perfect addition to waiting at the pier at Scarinish, but is also an asset for the village and the island. Friendly staff, great range of coffees, teas, hot choc, plus pastries, scones and more. A clean, fresh and spotless venue. They stock a nice range of Tiree-themed gifts, too. Seating available inside and out. I wish this new business great success!

To the right of the Gott Bay Pier, stop in while waiting for the Ferry to Oban, have a take away coffee or tea (even fruit teas available!), delicious home baked cakes, sampled by friends who truly appreciate cakes. A choice of one of gifts if you have forgotten a special celebration.

Lovely wee cafe by the pier, bright and airy, good atmosphere, friendly service and good coffee. Staff very helpful. Also has cakes plus soya and almond milk. Has local and other Scottish gifts and crafts for sale. Would recommend a visit!

Couldn’t agree less with the above review. Have found the reply useful, not the review. This is a lovely, fresh and much needed new business in an area which was calling out for just what has been provided. Fantastic coffee and cake and a great selection of gifts. We found service helpful and friendly. Horrid to have put such a review on a new page for a new business. Totally undeserved.

When you are told you only halve half an hour before closing to choose your drink and enjoy it you get the feeling that customer service is low in the priority list. The incorrect order (drink missed) and exhibit at cake price coupled with ‘being cleaned around’ whilst we drinks and ate means we won’t be going back. This place could offer so much to those in the ferry queues but remained resolutely shut whilst we waited. Gifts expensive and not made on the island. Give it a wide berth!
