The 12 best shopping and stores in Tobermory

During our various stays in Tobermory, we regularly visited the Tobermory Stores. Not only do I have to mention the extremly friendly staff. Also, the surprisingly wide range of local produce and wonderful fresh pastries make it worth a visit. We are already looking forward to our visit in 2026.

Fabulous takeaway lunch today snd goid value too. Delicious soup and a gorgeous toasted sandwich, brought out to us by staff while we enjoyed the view from the bench opposite. Good quality food and great service. Thanks guys!

What a super little shop. Best coffee we had in Scotland (agree with Lee's humorous review) and lovely takeaway Scottish breakfast. Very friendly people too.

Fantastic range of local produce. We got Isle of Mull cheese, seaweed chutney and spicy seaweed sauce here... as well as fresh and handmade produce. Not really pricey either! Friendly staff service too...

Great wee store. We came here most days during our trip to mull. Good vegan take away options and oat milk latte. We also bought items for cooking while camping.

A gem of a shop - lovely range of organic food and eco toiletries, fresh fruit and veg, takeaway pastries, cakes and hot drinks. The people running it couldn’t be more helpful and friendly, even finding a tin opener to open the tin I’d bought.

Went in this morning 09/07/25 ordered extra large latte with caramel and extra shot of espresso, a beef slice pastry hot and pork sausage roll hot, which neither were. I should point out that Mrs. Wilson was not there at the time because this is the first time I have been disappointed with usually constant high quality of service and attitude from the staff in the store. I have not finished either of the mostly cold to lukewarm snacks, and humbly apologise to Mrs. Wilson for this very untypical review of Tobermory stores which again has always been consistently excellent in my 2 months in Tobermory.

Really good chocolate. I did the pick your own chocolate thing so I got to try a few different ones. Ice cream was a bit of an expensive let down. I heard someone say it was the best ice cream they'd ever had so I had to try it. Definitely get your ice cream from the pink building across the street.

Beautiful chocolate, great coffee and wonderful service. Nice selection to pick from if looking for a nice treat or holiday gifts to take back home (chocolate shaped like sheep and fish). Dog friendly.

Beautiful, tranquil and friendly island. Plenty to see and do even out of summer season. Western Isles Hotel in Tobermory a special place to stay - excellent staff, rooms and meals.

Very friendly people and great chocolate. Shop sells more than just chocolate

Great little place to go for a bite to eat and drink, also has little gifts and lovely chocolate too.

Bought some of the choose your own chocolates and they were really delicious!

Good place to call for a coffee and a sit down I don’t agree with a previous reviewers comments about the coffee. It’s fine, so much so we called again at the end of our day exploring Tobermory . There is a clean loo and 6 or 7 tables. Half of the premises is a shop that sells souvenirs and a selection of home made chocolates. These are very nice but a bit pricey but fine as treat if you are on your holidays.

Great for fresh seafood - we bought smoked trout which was delicious and scallops to cook at our campsite.

Truly the best smoked salmon of my life. Gorgeous shop & friendly staff

What a fantastic smokehouse and Fish seller. Great range.bought some Tiger Prawns for a curry dish and Smoked Kippers both were outstanding. Well done and thanks Tobermory Fish Co. Love your shop.

Absolutely fantastic smoked fish, great selection of products from other producers on Mull, and phenomenal event catering. No visit to Mull for us is complete without at least one visit to Tobermory Fish Co!

The full range of locally sourced fish, fresh and smoked. With all the necessary accompaniments. A lovely shop to visit.

Great locally sourced really tasty seafood and other local Mull food. Visited during the Streat food festival and bought smoked troutvand salmon as well as venison salami and Nduja sausage. Also got a pint of squabs and langoustines all of which were really tasty and well worth the money. If you are on Mull and near Tobermory then give it a visit.

Lovely shop with some delicious foods to buy. Especially if you like your seafood.

Amazing selection, very friendly staff and great prices. Very happy with my purchase. Definitely worth popping by.

lovely selection of interesting items, decent price wise too.

Excellent service beautifull made items a joy to shop there.

Wonderful little shop. Unique gifts. We were delighted to find 2 whisky staves and glasses. The whisky tasting rooms we visited throughout Scotland served whisky flights on staves. It was surprisingly difficult to find these to take home. Great find!

Lovely shop but sometimes a bit expensive

This shop is brilliant. The best in Tobermory. Mull and Skye. I had been looking everywhere for Antlers for a gift. Here I found plenty to choose from. The owner was very polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable on her items.

Lovely shop with some fantastic things, my dog choose his own antler chew, very friendly lady behind the counter

We run Brockville B&B in Tobermory and are so proud to buy Isle of Mull soap company products for our guests to use. The Tobermory Soap Shop also made up amazing hampers with our favourite products, beautifully arranged and wrapped ready to gift.

A year ago i switched from conventional shower gels to nature soap. When i discovered the soap shop on my trip to Tobermory i was really really happy to find such a huge amount of soap types and scents. I bought 6 of them and never want to switch back to other ones. Three weeks ago i ordered 15 peaces in the online shop and i was really happy that everything worked very well especially the delivery to Germany. The best - the really personal greeting card from Sophie that was included with my delivery, with best greetings from Tobermory. If i can, i will order here for the rest of my live.

I have used Mull Soap constantly since you first opened all those years ago ! Love both Mull Lavender and Mull Heather,I used each bar alternately so I don't get used to the smell and go ' nose blind'! I come to Mull regularly so I have never had to use your online shop ! Would love a lavender lipbalm ( if you ever start making one !)

A few years ago whilst visiting the Isle of Mull we bought some gorgeous soap bars. The soaps last for ages and smell lovely. We absolutely love all of their product range and are thrilled that we can order them online. The service is very personal and delivery is excellent. Thank you to the team. You should be very proud and your products always make us smile.

Products are great quality, long lasting and smell amazing 😍 the lavender and chamomile wax melt is so relaxing. Deliveries are well packaged and arrive very quick.

I first bought Mull soaps last year (Sept 2023) when on a trip to Tobermory with my sister. I have since ordered soaps for myself and my sister and won't use any other brand. I love all of the ones I have chosen so far and if I was to pick a favourite it would be lavender. Thank you for your fabulous soaps and excellent customer service 🌟🌟🌟

Having visited a few years ago and purchased some soaps after our rental had some in and we liked them; I've ordered a good few times from here. In store, everyone is very friendly and there is thoughtfully laid out and pentiful variety. Online, very much the same, we've ordered a few times since our visit to the store, and have bben in the store again when we've been on the island. Will continue to shop for my soaps here.

If this wasn't an island and I could shop else where I would. Fruit doesn't last 24 hours if it survives getting out of the shop. Chicken never tastes like chicken. Over priced and makes you see why many buy food before coming here.

Today I had the worst service i've ever had inside a co op. I'm a sixty year old, a single man with two well-behaved labradors. I appreciate the sign on the door "assistance dogs only", but I travel alone and today, in the hot weather, I needed water for the dogs and a soft drink for me. I found exactly what I needed really quickly and made my way to the till, hoping to get out quickly. The lady on the checkout with nothing less than a nazi like manner, telling me that I had to leave the shop because I had the two dogs with me. I totally get that some people are allergic to dogs, but an assistance dog still has hair and saliva. There is no national database for assistance Dogs in the uk, nor is there any standardised training or registration. The woman showed no compassion or understanding, In fact was down right rude. She was also rude to a lady behind me, in the queue who had inadvertently jumped in but didn't realize it. Someone who I presumed to be a manager, passed behind me indicated to the checkout lady about the dogs, to which she said. "I've already told him". It might be an idea to put a hook near the door, not halfway down the building, so an owner can see their dogs, and more importantly, so the dogs can see the owner. Incidentally, my 2 local co ops at home, both allow me in with the dog provided i am doing a quick run to pick up something. My dog works for a registered charity. I gave two stars rather than one because the product I was looking for all was available and it was nicely chilled in a fridge. I think they must keep their staff in the same area. Dear Tobermory COOP, get yourself some customer service training, learn how to speak to people, and behave by humans.

I was double charged and thier attitude was terrible we had gotten ferry over where only on day trip took £40 out my account n where like it doesn't matter it will bounce back i had to complain to manager to get cash refund instead and that was after the cashier lying saying my first payment hadn't gone threw even though I told her it said approved definitely give it a wide berth......mistakes happen faor enough but dont make it worse with bad customer servie

AGGRESSIVE and DANGEROUS morning staff. Be warned, the staff who work the early shift moving trolleys are threatening, aggressive and not to be approached. After legally parking my car on the road outside the store, I had my car surrounded by trolleys (so I couldn’t enter my car) then as I removed them, had a trolley shoved aggressively into my face by a trolley Co-Op employee. I’d give this store a wide birth.

I don't understand what people are complaining about. Compared to the other supermarkets/grocery stores on the island, it's reasonably priced, well-stocked and has civilised opening hours. Gets my approval.

Good shop for a few items, but not for big shops, as the self-service ma comes are frustrating. The ready made sandwiches are nice and the staff sure move as well.

Would be 5 stars but the self service checkouts are a joke - we've never experienced anything so bad. Not sure if it is this branch only, or all Co-op self service tills. Avoid them like the plague. On the plus side, the staff were very apologetic and patient. Also, there are a heck of a lot of items encased in plastic, which given the Co-ops rep' I was surprised at. On the plus side it is a small but very well stocked store.

Shop has everything you need to go fishing here on Mull. The prices are reasonable too. The place (no pun) has bait too for both sea and game anglers, although I didn't see much by way of flies for trout. The staff are fab; knowledgeable about the area and where to fish. They also produce a flyer 'fantastic fishing on Mull' it's full of useful information on fresh water lochs and permits. I wish other places did the same! Bank fishing from the area around Tobermory is limited, and for sea anglers the best method other than from a boat, is float fishing from the bank, the seabed here is rocky and eats tackle, you have been warned. Well worth a visit.

We understand shops having policies that do not allow for dogs, we always ask prior to fully entering a store if we can come in with our dog. However, responding to a question of “are dogs allowed?” with “well behaved dogs yes… so long as they don’t shake” on a day with an amber warning for rain is frustrating, completely understandable to only allow well behaved dogs, but whether a dog shakes after coming in from the rain isn’t something we can train for. It’s rubbing salt in the wound to laugh when we are honest to tell you he would probably shake in the entrance. Yes or no would have sufficed. I would have happily waited outside with our dog while my partner shopped but the rudeness deterred us. Most of Tobermory shops are not dog friendly, which is unfortunate on a very wet, windy first day of a holiday. Brown’s Tobermory were more than happy to accommodate for anyone wanting friendly service that is also dog friendly.

A reasonable selection of fishing tackle. All suited to the surrounding area. Low prices on everything. Perhaps missing certain items in a range, such as missing floating fly lines in the fly line range, or certain types of flies missjng from fly range.

A great book shop in Tobermory. A wide selection of children’s books, local books and gifts.

A wonderful wee shop that caters to many things, whether you like birdwatching, fishing, hiking, art, reading, or just want a few postcards. We went on two separate days, and were helped by two different people, but both were very friendly and accommodating. Had a nice chat both times :)

Fair range of tackle for an island but lacking in helpful advice on the day I visited!to get a permit.

I loved everything about this wee shop at the end of the main street. The owner was helpful and friendly, the selection of books was almost as though she stocked her shelves just for me. Rows upon rows of books on wildlife, foraging, baking, cooking, scottish life and plant life, history, folk tales, myths... And they do sell tackle and items for all your fishing needs as well! It was very difficult not to buy more books than I did, but I absolutely loved this shop and if you love books, nature, and fishing, then this is the shop for you, too!

Just recieved my tall mugs from Mull pottery. Just beautiful. Well packaged and arrived safely all the way to Hampshire. Thank you Rory.

On Saturday we had a disaster. Dad (89/dementia) dropped and smashed Mums (also 89) mug. She had used it every day for nearly 5 years because it had a nice big handle that her frail hands could easily hold. All day I searched everywhere for a suitable replacement with no luck. On Saturday evening I emailed Rory at Mull Pottery. By Sunday morning I had a reply and he had some in stock.🥳🥳🥳. He even sent photos to confirm they were the exact mug I needed. The next day it was paid, and shipped. By Wednesday we were back to normal again. Fantastic service, that’s very hard to find nowadays. Thanks Rory. You saved the day.

Sadly the workshop location at Baliscate is permanently closed due to the ill health of the potter. The shop in Tobermory is still open.

At the side of the main road from the ferries to Tobermory about a mile from Main Street. The pottery has it's own parking space for two or three cars and easy access to a few more shared car park spaces. It is fairly small inside so care is needed and bags need to be under control. The pottery is glazed earthenware style in cream and blue and it is artistically influenced by the sea and shore of the islands. Prices are reasonable and the pieces are not too large to be carried. Worth a visit if you like ceramics.

Lovely little shop for the tourists.

We visited this wonderful gem and was rewarded with the nicest mugs I own. I drink my coffee from them every morning, despite owning a beautiful collection of handmade mugs that I could choose from. I want to order a few more mugs as everyone who sees this design wants to have it for themselves.

Mull pottery does make some lovely stuff, the turquoise pattern they do does capture some of the colours of Mull - on a good day. They don't have a massive amount of stock here, but you can try the shop in tobermory high Street for more.

Lovely service, my mom bought her wedding ring here years ago which she loves and they always clean it for free when we visit - I bought an inexpensive necklace here 3 years ago and I wear it every day and the quality is fantastic for the price and this year they fixed a ring that is of huge sentimental value, it looks amazing and I am so happy I can wear it again Thank you we love this shop it's so special to my family Before and after photos of my immaculately repaired ring

Engaged on Barbados, married in Edinburgh, wedding ring bought from Isle of Mull Silver and Goldsmiths. A lovely men's gold ring with Scottish Gaelic inscription. Great service.

Tha Dualchas an seo. Outstanding works of art you wont find anywhere else close to the main land, you can not put your trust in a better source for Authentic Silver and Gold that supports culture and traditions going back centuries for the Hebrides. I drove over 1,300 miles in 9 days in Scotland and THIS was the shop for any silver pieces you may wish to find. No cheap imports here, this is a shop supporting small communities that are extremely difficult to get to. I have read the other reviews mostly complaining about conversations, I can not imagine living in isolation on an island, day in and day out selling your wears to the world and having to explain traditions over and over to people who feel they are entitled to culture, are there as tourists and do not participate in cultural preservation other than heraldry. If you come into this shop and are not ready to pay your respect to the folks living on the island, by all means go somewhere else. If you come in this shop with the slightest grasp on Gaidhlig and Pictish culture and language you will find it an absolute treasure trove. The gal behind the counter is extremely knowledgeable and selective to what she shares about the culture to those who are humble enough to ask and worthy of the knowledge. Leave your entitlement at the door and go home happy.

I would give zero stars if possible. Never before have I been made to feel so unwelcome in a shop. The moment we walked in the "lady" behind the counter simply stopped dead in her tracks and just stared at us. Even a hello did not prompt a response. Such a shame as their were some nice rings which I wanted to purchase for my wife. They could take some customer service tips from the other businesses in Tobermory. Simply awful.

Lovely friendly staff who let you browse without feeling you had to buy. Beautiful variety of jewellery from affordable to the in my dreams. Would recommend a visit. One thing you could do is put more examples of your work on your Internet site as it doesn't do your work justice.

Sent my ring off on Monday to be sized up and had it back and on my finger on Thursday morning! Paul even phoned me to double check the sizing. Amazing service from a fabulous and unique shop ☺

Fyi i have been informed today after much research and via a seller that this companyis selling cheap chinese copies. They do not last bit have been priced the same as genuine knes. Do not be stung like i was.... my experience...Bought a beautiful silver ring here with opal and topaz. Wore once and the gold brass wire turned brittle and brown. Phoned up and she owner brashly dismissed me and said there's nothing to be done. Ring was not cheap so as you can imagine very disheartened

Island Blue is a delightful little gem in Tobermory. The store is filled with a wonderful selection of gifts, perfect for finding something special to remember your trip. I particularly loved their hand cream – a lovely product that felt like a real treat. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a pleasure to browse. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in town!

Bought a Roka bag here whilst on holiday this week. Great service. Lovely wee shop with quality products.

A nice wee shop. Features as Penny’s Pockets sweet shop, in the new “Balamory” series.

A variety amazing and quality items for a good price with a combination of things connected to the island and nice objects. Prints and magnets of the island by local artists and brilliant customer service.

Great selection of gifts, crafts etc. Handmade items, postcards, fridge magnets. If your in tobermory pop in, the lady behind the counter is very pleasant and friendly.

Wish I’d had time to go back in the morning. I’d say it’s the best store along the strip. Lovely products and not over priced. Nic owner too!

Nice shop with a fair selection of gifts, we came out with a hat and some place mats.

I have to credit this Gallery/ Cafe with some of the best hospitality, quality products and excellent food. Martin could not do more to please and his wife’s cooking is amazing. There are regular cafe items but also some with a Thai flavour. I rarely succumb to buying souvenirs or presents for home but I just could not resist the wildlife mugs which they will arrange to send to me. (No room in my bike) Highly recommend a visit! -Sorry, I didn’t take any photos ☹️

I stopped in for a hot drink and loved the decor, awesome collection of gifts, art, books, etc. The owners are so lovely, my bus flew by 15 minutes early and Martin drove me to catch it up! It's a condensed collection over winter but the coffee was very good and they have soya milk and vegan cake! Excellent vibe immersed in beautiful things! Look forward to visiting in summer for the full collection ☺️

Make sure to grab a vegetarian Thai curry puff along with a pot of tea or coffee in the very relaxed café.

A beautifully well laid out gallery and gift shop. The manager and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. This place is well worth a visit, your sure to see something that'll catch your eye.

Amazing selection of beautiful Mull art. We loved looking round the gallery which is really well curated. This place is brilliant value for money and has so much to offer it is difficult to pick! We chose 2 pieces but could have easily come home with more. We now have a beautiful print of Tobermory on our wall as a memento of our holiday. The manager was very friendly and helpful, a real credit to the gallery. This is a must visit for everyone holidaying on Mull.

Popped in here , when I was on holiday in tobormory, saw the deer , had to go in . Lovely place and lass serving was very pleasent

Beautiful range of artwork, super friendly and helpful staff and delicious coffee. Can't wait to come back next year and hopefully taste some Thai spring rolls!
