Crinan Coffee Shop

A delightful coffee shop, with lovely friendly staff. The seating areas are clean, tidy, and attractively laid out, with some interesting items on sale along one wall. The coffee and cakes are excellent - really fresh and tasty! The toilets are also clean and fresh and tidy. And they have free wifi! Wonderful spot for a visit.

Perfect little cafe after a walk. Was very welcoming! Dog friendly too which is always a bonus. Food & coffee was delicious. Would definitely recommend ☺️

Probably the nicest strawberry tarts ever And great value

We had a lovely walk to Crimean along the canal side and decided to pop in to the cafe for a snack and a cup of tea. The crispy bacon roll was undercooked and soggy and expensive. The tea was good, difficult t go wrong with tea. The toilet was dirty with a broken toilet seat and no toilet paper. It’s a shame there is no competition to help the owners become more focussed.

The cafe looks run down from the outside and was equally shaby inside. Dead flys all over the window sills, dirty floor and disgusting toilets. I ordered a cake that was dry and a latte that was not a latte, just a frothy coffee. Have been there for many years and this year may well be the last. The cafe was nearly empty and staff were just stood around. Get a cloth and clean!

It’s a pretty nice cafe however we had to wait forever for our coffee even though the cafe was basically empty. Then when we got a coffee it wasn’t very good for the price we paid. However, friendly staff. I would recommend overall

Called in yesterday 11th July for coffee, the cakes and scones looked delicious so we decided to indulge ourselves. The fruit scones were the best we have ever had and the carrot and date slices was amazing. The young lady serving us was so friendly, I didn’t get her name but she was lovely. We hope to call again before we return home.

Only had a cup of tea and at three pounds I couldn't afford anything else

Having been to Kilmartin for lunch my folks and I decided to drop by here for dessert, may as well get around and support the local businesses. It's located on the edge of the canal basin at the north end of the Crinan canal, just down from the hotel, (which does excellent if pricey high teas), with windows looking out over the water. Throughout the cafe on the walls are scattered local artists works, mostly for sale and in a room to one end is more work around the walls, mostly with guide prices beside them. There is also a selection of old boat engines and pumps on the floor for you to have a look at. We had some of the homemade cake and scones, which were all lovely, my usual drink of coke and the folks had tea and coffee. Prices reasonable and staff helpful if you wanted to know anything.

Right on the edge of the Crinan Canal basin and run as part of the Crinan Hotel, this is a pleasant place to stop off for some lovely coffee and a snack. The home baking is very nice and we enjoyed coffee and cakes on more than one occasion recently! I would say that it's rather expensive though. There are plenty of places to sit inside and a few tables and chairs outside by the water where you can sit and watch boats passing through the locks. You can buy postcards and a few books too - and even the Avon So Soft midge repellent which is needed by so many in the West of Scotland (fortunately I am never bitten!)
