Birch Cafe

A claim I don’t make lightly - but this might be the best cafe on earth. The coffee is a coffee nerds delight. Heady extractions and a variety of beans. The food is sublime. Delicious pastries and beautiful prepared meals. The service is quick and friendly. … And they have a toilet.

This is one of the earliest operating cafes in the area, and they roast their own beans. The aesthetic and service are nice, but they have relatively short staff for the morning rush. We had their takeaway coffee, and it was bitter for the latte and flat white

Absolutely delicious spot!!!! The staff is incredibly nice and the food is of superb quality. Definitely the yummiest breakfast in Skye. The menu is limited but everything is delicious. They have a big variety of pastries, sweet and savory! We got: - almond milk Cappuccino 100/10 - overnight oats 1000/10 - scrambled eggs plain with sourdough (I thought 8£ was too much for just eggs but the portion is BIG and the eggs are cooked marvelously) - leek and cheese danish 1000/10 - banana bread 110/10

Stopped by here by fluke - it was AMAZING. Food was to-die-for and the staff were so friendly. The atmosphere was warm and modern looking - I loved everything about this place. Highly recommend!!! (I was a Canadian visiting Isle of Skye and stopped in Portree to explore a bit - so happy I did!)

My friend and I came here for breakfast two days in a row because it was so good. Their espresso is expertly pulled, milked beautifully frothed, and their baked goods and savory items are delicious. I highly recommend it if you are in the area!

I could have chosen and been happy with many things on the menu but I had the Butternut Squash soup and a little pistachio tart (GF) and they were both so tasty. The soup was dairy free as well as it has coconut milk to give it the creamy texture. Yummm!

My friend and I stopped in for a light lunch on a drizzly day and we were welcomed with warm environment and tasty food. The butternut squash, sweet potato, and coconut soup served with a slice of bread and browned butter was so delightful- and I'm not really a soup person! We also enjoyed tasty desserts. We couldn't stop thinking about the soup and we had hoped to go back for more. It has now been weeks and I still can't stop thinking about this soup! Any chance of sharing the recipe? 😀

I had breakfast at Birch Cafe on a Monday and got there right at 8 am. There was already a line and some tables were taken. We were able to grab two seats but it was steadily busy and full until 8:30 am. There are a lot of coffee drinks, pastries, and sweet and savory breakfast items to order. We got a cappuccino, mocha, sourdough with scrambled eggs and chorizo, focaccia with house made hummus, and a bunch of pastries. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was great. This is a worthwhile stop in Portree.
