We came here for breakfast within an hour of our engagement at Neist Point Lighthouse. The sheer warmth of the staff was enough to make it worth the stop however our lunch and divine treats made it unforgettable. Please make it a point to stop here on your travels throughout Skye. Truly a gem.

What a dreamy place… the atmosphere is so welcoming and the food looks amazing. I regret arriving here with a full stomach, just for a quick stop. As a local I would spend so much time here, reading, eating, drinking lattes and kombuchas in conversation with friends.

Charming, eclectic, and so incredibly cozy! We enjoyed a great pot of tea (they even had decaf Earl Grey which I appreciated!) and some lovely soup. This place is a dream on a foggy rainy day!

The seaweed smashed potatoes and Turkish eggs were truly some of the best things we've eaten in Scotland! I also got their latte with Heather honey and it was divine. I cannot recommend this place enough, the cutesy decor, the stunning view the incredible food, and the delectable pastries. Just WOW!!

The Isle of Skye is spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes, bakeries and lunch options, but Bog Myrtle is definitely one of the best. It definitely feels special as soon as you enter and it just gets better from there on in. Service is super friendly and kind. Staff genuinely seem to care about what their customers think and experience. And the food is outstanding. Imaginative and beautifully presented, it also delivers on taste. We had a delicious courgette, pea, mint and lime soup, plus the Scotch Reuben, and the salted caramel doughnut was pure joy!! I'm still dreaming about it now. The interior is interesting and beautifully designed with lots of fascinating areas to relax in. Don't hesitate to visit this lovely cafe with superb staff and a beautiful view. We absolutely loved it.

Incredible place - decor and ambience was so sweet, food delicious, and service lovely. Had a more quiet feeling even through the busy lunch hour. Had the savory porridge — never had something like that before and it was delicious! If there is pavlova when you come you MUST eat it. Especially if you like creamy / light desserts. Actually changed my life. Come here!

Really telling how triggered people are by a flag (a real existing flag and peoples by the way), the low reviews are extremely telling and pointed. ANYWAYS, my sister and I were on a birthday trip and spent the first half staying in and exploring Isle of Skye. We actually had just come upon this place while aimlessly driving around and were so happy for it. Two very lovely people were working at the time, we grabbed a coffee and breakfast and a sit down. We were visiting the country in a bit off the ‘off season’ so it was so fun to have the place mostly to ourselves. I got to walk around and freely look at everything in the cafe. Ended up leaving with a few final purchases, a bag of coffee beans and a slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake I have not stopped thinking about! It’s a must try. I hope that my travels bring me back here again someday.
