What boombabe doesn't like about The Blue Lobster:
We popped in here to warm up and to shelter from a rain storm, and just managed to get a seat. The coffee was nice and it was nice to look out over the harbour but when my friend enquired about a toilet to use she was told to use the public ones outside, and across a car park which are not too far away but it was cold and raining that day and we had no small change for the machine so ultimately me and my friend ended... View all feedback. What User likes about The Blue Lobster:
Absolutely fantastic coffee shop in Stornaway amazing coffee and cakes in a great setting, exactly what we were hoping to find on the Isle of Lewis. Staff super friendly recognised us from the day before and happy to help. Also has a selection of things to buy from mugs to art to greetings cards. View all feedback.

A charming café located near the harbor. The staff is friendly and there is a great selection of traybakes. The coffee is top-notch, just what you need.

I always enjoy meeting with friends in the Blue Lobster for lovely coffee and delicious home baked cakes. Thoroughly recommend!

The Blue Lobster cafe offers a cozy atmosphere and stunning views of the harbor. While some customers praised the delicious coffee and cakes, others were disappointed by the lack of available seating and expensive prices. The friendly staff and unique gifts for sale add to the overall charm of the cafe. With a waterside location and welcoming ambiance, it's a great spot to enjoy a hot chocolate while taking in the scenic surroundings. Overall, the Blue Lobster is a popular choice for locals and visitors alike, making it a must-visit cafe in Stornoway.
