Great Service, friendly staff. Lovely views. Had a expresso, elderflower drink and a lime ice cream, it was delicious. Only a brief stop as the cafe was nearly closing when I arrived. Menu looked good however, and it's also a licensed cafe. Indoor and ourselves seating. Clean and spacious. Heritage centre and Museum on-site. Definitely a must stop if visiting the island of Lismore. Accessible by ferry from Oban and Port Appin with CalMac ferries.

Wonderful homemade cakes. Absolutely delicious and most welcome after our cycle. Loved the museum to find out the history of the island. Highly recommend. Fantastic trip to the beautiful scenery on Lismore Island.

We took a quick day trip to Lismore and we went to the cafe for lunch. This was the highlight of our visit!! A MUST do on Lismore! We had a sandwich and panini, and my partner said it was the best sandwich he ever had! I had a bite and the chutney in the sandwich was to die for, and it was made by one of the waitresses mums. I would have bought a bucket full of I could have! I also got a cake to takeaway - blueberry and lemon curd. This cake transported me back to my granny's cakes when I was wee - it was absolutely delicious. They also had gluten free options like brownies. The island is lucky to have such a high quality cafe and its great that so many of the items are made on the island.
