"Spent a rainy afternoon drinking mochas and eating food and pastries while reading my book. Great atmosphere and service. The Cafe is definitely worth the detour just to grab a coffee to go and visit the boutique at the back. The drive there is mostly on a single track road with beautiful views!"

"A wonderful cafe! We tried a panini, soup, scone, cake, and a brownie, and everything was delicious. The space is warm, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s the perfect spot to relax and refuel after a day’s hike."

"Stopped here after a hike on our wedding day eve. Tasty coffee and the Victoria sponge cake was divine. We took an extra piece for our wedding pay picnic. Highly recommend stopping if you’re in the area. The coffee was my favourite on Skye."

"Cracking place to get lunch or have drinks. Staying around the corner and popped in for lunch and support a local business. Staff were super friendly and accommodating as place was really busy. Homemade soup and cheese scone was delicious. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area or on the way to Neist Point lighthouse. Definitely be back before we leave."

"Came to Cafe Lephin on our way to Neist Point, and loved everything that we ordered. We had a soup with cheese scone, a pesto and mozzarella sandwich, some tea and a millionaire bar. The staff was very nice, and there was plenty of seating given how popular some sights were in the area. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and even worth a drive for lunch if you're on Skye in general."

"Lephin is a great pitstop when we’re coming back from Neist Lighthouse! Coffee and pastry is great — the staff recommended Victoria Sponge, and it’s light and delicious! Cream doesn’t feel too heavy. Also a very chill environment to take a quick break before we continue our journey."
