Tayvallich Café — Restaurant in Scotland

Oh dear! Where to start. Staff are uncommunicative to the point of being rude. Service wasn’t just slow it was beyond the joke. 45mins wait. There were 3 other tables in at the time. From the second we arrived the service was shockingly bad. No one spoke not even a basic hello. Coffees served after 15 mins and by the time lunch arrived they were cold/drunk. Expensive too. I hate leaving bad reviews but this place was dreadful.

The white haired lady serving us had a poor attitude and I don’t imagine it’s because she is shy or was having an off day when I now read other reviews which funnily enough say the same things. I applaud you for taking on young people but if the owners attitude/manners are poor this filters down to staff. We’ll pass on your kind offer of revisiting having gone to many other places on our holiday we know the service here is not typical...

Small business or not, no excuse for poor manners or coffee that's too hot.

Wouldn't return, atmosphere higher due to...

Fantastic cafe set in a stunning location. The food and coffee was first class and reasonably priced. The lady who was working was extremely polite and helpful. Views are outstanding, looking over the bay. Lots of covered seating outside if the weather allows. Small car park opposite, on a steep slope. Toilets were clean and well cared for. This is a gem of a place. If you are passing through Tayvallich do yourself a favour and stop off. Also has the...
