Nestled in Gairloch, this café exudes quirky charm with its Himalayan-inspired decor and extensive book collection. While many patrons rave about the exceptional coffee and scrumptious homemade treats—including scones, cakes, and pies—mixed reviews highlight inconsistent customer service experiences. Some have encountered abrupt staff interactions, while others enjoyed friendly and attentive service. The café's welcoming ambiance and dog-friendly policy make it an appealing stop for a snack and a leisurely browse. Despite fluctuating experiences, the café remains a potential gem for both coffee aficionados and book lovers alike, inviting visitors to see for themselves.

Absolutely delicious coffee. And the cakes looked fabulous. An interesting wee bookshop attached too

Popped in for a coffee and a cake. Both were very nice. There was plenty of choice. I had the homemade Blackcurrant scone.
