"On Skye I sampled coffee from Birch, Niall Munro’s minimalist roastery and café, which stakes a serious claim as the region’s best caffeine hit." - Alexander Barlow
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

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!

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

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!)

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? 😀

fluffy and chewy focaccia paired with unique dips (spiced eggplant, green goddess), nice tangy tomato soup with sourdough, great bakes, only letdown was the coffee which was slightly burnt and sour
