Loch Lomond is one of the most beautiful places in the Scottish Highlands. So, people always search for the best Loch Lomond Café, because nothing beats the combination of stunning views and delicious coffee.
However, bombshell alert, the best Loch Lomond café isn’t actually a café at all. We know, it sounds crazy. But bear with us as we explain why this is 100% true with five well-thought-out, super serious reasons.
1. The Best Loch Lomond Café is a Coffee Shop
Yep, we’re talking about ourselves, Wild Highlands Coffee. Because that’s the thing, we’re a coffee shop, not a café, which we understand is slightly confusing.
The key difference is that we serve some of the best coffee in Scotland, roasted in Scotland, and served in Scotland. We're extremely passionate about this, so we make sure our coffee is as amazing as our surrounding landscape.
Which brings us to our second reason.
2. No Dated Interiors
At Wild Highlands Coffee, we don’t have an internal space. Because why would you hem people into a building when one of the most stunning bodies of water on the planet is your neighbour?
You wouldn’t, so we don’t. That's why you don’t have to suffer the often dated interiors associated with Loch Lomond cafes and cafes around the country.
3. One of The Most Dog-Friendly Cafes in Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond cafes like to brag about their dog-friendly status, but nothing is more dog-friendly than the great outdoors.
Dogs aren’t meant to sit inside among the pot banging, toilets flushing, and chatterboxes you find in a café. No, they love a bit of breathing room with their beloved owners, taking in that fresh loch air and relaxing in between hiking stints.
That’s exactly what we offer, and it’s why our four-legged friends love us as much as their two-legged owners.
4. Amazing Views
Did we mention we’re located at Loch Lomond? We can’t think of a better place to enjoy a cup of the good stuff than on the pier of such a majestic, iconic stretch of the Scottish landscape. We’re sure that you’ll be hard-pressed, too.
Whether you’re sitting at our outdoor seating area or a wee bench nearby, there’s no better way to enjoy your coffee. It simply can’t be done.
5. Zero Tourist Trap Vibes
Let’s be honest, Scottish cafes lean a bit too hard into the tartan tablecloths, tam o'shanter hats, and £8 scones angle. You walk in for a flat white and leave with a tea bag in lukewarm water and a dent in your bank balance.
At Wild Highlands Coffee, we’re totally independent, locally run, and focused on one thing: great coffee. This means you’re more likely to leave with high-grade coffee beans than a Scotty dog fridge magnet.
But to be fair, we do have some high-quality Wild Highlands Coffee merchandise like cups, headbands, and dry bags.
