What User doesn't like about Pomona Cafe:
I really have no words. The whole experience was horrible, certainly NOT a typical Orkney cafe. Women behind counter does not need to go on customer care course she just needs to GO. View all feedback. What User likes about Pomona Cafe:
Amazing friendly service, hard to find these days. The homemade baking is wonderful, had cream cookies and muffins the best. Soup of the day was so tasty also. A huge menu and fantastic value with it. Clearly a bit of a hub for the locals...to chat too. View all feedback.

We arrived after 50 miles cycling in the rain, we were fed, and tumble dried and smiled at and made very welcome, even though we smelt like damp dogs in Lycra !...

The quaint and traditional Pomona Café in Orkney offers a mixed bag of experiences for visitors. Despite some patrons finding the coffee and food less than satisfactory, the warm and welcoming atmosphere surrounds guests with local charm. The affordable prices, friendly staff, and cozy setting make it a popular spot for both locals and tourists alike. With a focus on simple, cheap food and a nod to the cafe's past as Charlie's Italian Cafe, Pomona Café remains a hub for the community to gather and enjoy a taste of Orcadian hospitality.
