Right on the waterfront and the staff taking orders were lovely. Food came quickly however it was morning so not many people. Decent pricing and seems busy through lunch rush! The bread was a little soggy with the eggs and not very toasted but did the job of fueling us up.

Had a really nice black pudding and cheese panini, they were accommodating with the kids making them buttered rolls, and my husband had a chicken panini which he enjoyed too. The soup had just been made and should really have had a day to settle as it wasn’t the best hence the drop in star but we would eat there again!

This is a small cafe that make’s sandwich, paninis, teas, cakes etc. Reasonably priced considering it’s open season against tourists. There is seating outside as well as in and open areas closer to the harbour. Yes one member of staff can be grumpy and gruff but on the whole it’s a nice little cafe!!

Inside is a wee bit cramped so if it’s busy there is a bit of a wait to order but that’s about the only downside. Staff are friendly and the place is nice and clean. I had a bacon and egg roll. The menu was a bit hard to work out when just wanting a bacon and egg roll but we all worked it out in the end. Coffee was nice and hot and was quite nice. Definitely stop for a meal when you’re there during 5he day.

nice little cafe with a great location. run in a friendly no nonesense style, they have a wide variety of food on offer. they were open to improvisations to please the customer and served us tasty rolls and sandwiches. only small cons are everything is served in styrofoam containers or paper bags, even when you sit in their outside area. and when it gets really busy, some things run out or are prepared in a bit of a rush, ie bread less toasted. but all in all good food and good service!

Best bacon roll and coffee in Oban. Visiting on my birthday and the staff are fantastic. Roll was cooked to perfection and my partners bagel was the best (their words) Will be back next visit.
