Reviews For The Coffee Bothy

1000/10. Must try when in the area. The ambience was so warm, cozy and felt like being home. The staff were not only kind but had us laughing the entire time. We shared a table with this cute elderly couple and shared stories and laughs while having breakfast. Absolutely hilarious coffee menu, they crossed out “Americano” and put Mexicano or Canadiano. Such a good laugh We got the avocado toast and Buddha bowl for breakfast. Both were incredible. The red pesto with the avocado was so delicious and the Buddha bowl was an explosion of flavor. For drinks we got gingerbread and vanilla lattes. The coffee was very smooth and tasty. Major respect for this little coffee shop that is also standing with humanity and supporting freedom for all especially those suffering in p@lestine. I will forever support and love them for this.

Walking into the Coffee Bothy is like walking into a friend’s cosy home, being greeted with the warmest of welcomes followed by amazing food prepared with care. The cakes look amazing but there are plenty heatlhy options too, with all diets catered for. It’s all in the details, and their friendly staff always make sure you feel right at home.

My new favourite place on the whole isle. Very delicious food (amazing in fact), a lovely atmosphere and the friendliest staff. I really appreciate the very clear lgbt flags etc, I love it when businesses visibly express their views and support for my community. Can’t wait to come back to the Isle of Skye and visit again!

Outstanding customer service and pet friendly, clean and full of character. An excellent coffee, and I know because I am Italian, at a reasonable price, amazing cakes, tarts and flapjacks with plenty to chose from. We argued about who had chosen the best cake, it is up to you to decide! Luxurious and freshly made, it was one of the best I had in the whole of the UK. The owner took the time to chat with us and other clients, and I was surprised to see him bringing my cake and singing Happy Birthday as he heard it was a trip to celebrate my 53 birthday! You can see he enjoys his work and tries to make his customers relax and feel at home. We will definitely return next time we are visiting the Isle of Skye.

Brilliant. Found it by mistake hoping for a basic vegan brunch, and was overjoyed to find loads of vegan options - including most of the cake. Gorgeous little place, lovely staff, super friendly. Bookmarked for my next Skye visit.
