The 11 best desserts and snacks in The Hebrides

What an amazing find in Tobermory. We were looking to find somewhere to eat for lunch and came across the Tobermory Bakery and Tea Room. Spoiled for choice with all the filled rolls, toasties, pies and quiches. We had a chicken, haggis and bacon pie and also a prawn Marie Rose filled roll. Both were amazing and tasty. The service was fantastic from the team. Everyone was so friendly. We had to do our cakes to take away as we were so full from lunch and they were a welcome treat after our little drive around Mull. Would highly recommend.

Popped in today for lunch. Enjoyed a really delicious Glengorm steak pie. Plenty of good quality steak filling. Highly recommend that you try these. Staff are friendly and helpful. A really nice wee place with plenty to choose from the fresh bakes.

A variety of food offerings, in addition to coffee and tea. Small space can get crowded when the ferry disgorges large number of tourists. Was able to get a table and appreciated the cozy, homey atmosphere.

Dont go if you have an allergy! Visited today and after trying a chicken leek and ham pie we realised it was a mushroom pie which i am allergic to. I went back and got zero apology but a replacement. Then realised they had given us another mushroom pie. I went back for a refund. I tried to speak to them to say how serious allergies are and all she said was "im not the manager" no apology and a horrible attitude. Avoid

Great Bakery. Nice bread, pie’s and coffee!

The coffee was good and the cakes we excellent - chocolate tiffin and bakewell slice. Best of all, though, were the quiches - best I've ever eaten.

I got the soup and sandwich combo, which came out to be a little over £6. Food portions were just right (I'm too used to being overly full from American portions). The soup was really rich and flavorful, and the cheese in the toastie was really stretchy. I figured if I'm in the UK, I might as well try haggis AND blood pudding - I was not disappointed. They went well in the grilled cheese sandwich, and the acidity in salad that came with it cut through the richness. We got our food really late though, but maybe it was because the waitress was new. Overall, food was tasty, and it's a nice place to sit and chat.

Wonderful little place with a surprisingly large selection of baked goods, chocolates, coffee, and hot food. We decided on the venison casserole which was delicious and tender. We also got a cookie and a caramel chocolate frangipane tart type thing with fresh cream. Both were amazing. I assume we spoke to the owners whilst there and they were both very friendly and helpful. I would recommend stopping in! We are definitely going to pop back for some Jamaican curry. ☺️

Amazing massive cakes and chocolates! Loved the vibe as soon as we got in, including the Caribbean music 😍 and very important: NO ICING! Yaaay We’re planning to go back for chowder and more cakes while we’re on the Isle. Luckily, we found this gem early on in our trip!

So glad we stumbled upon Janns cakes when driving through Dunvegan! We had the casserole, coffees & of course had to try the baked goods- the Lemon cake was to die for!!! Best Lemon cake I’ve ever had. We also had the blueberry lemon cake which was also equally delicious! We also had to sample the chocolate made with honey and whisky.. everything we tasted was worth the calories! I love supporting local businesses, especially when the owners are so friendly and welcoming. Next trip out to Skye, we will be returning to this little gem!

Run by a lovely pair who clearly pour love and care into their hand-made cakes. I recommend stopping by here for some of their delicious cakes. They had a brilliant selection, with organic options too. The price reflects the quality, so dont let that put you off. The cherry bakewell tart was awesome! Brillaint bakery, would thoroughly recommend.

Forget about Dunvegan Castle, Jann's Cakes is why you should visit Dunvegan. The place is tiny but clearly full of love and very delicious food. We came here for a nice slice of cake and we were not disappointed. Yes, the slices may seem a bit more on the expensive side but you get a piece so big that you might as well have it instead of a normal lunch. Also, you don't just get a slice. It's also nicely decorated with some fruits (strawberries and blackberries), some sauce and whipped cream (if you asked for that). I also had a taste of one of the truffels and it was one of the best truffels I've ever tasted. We took 2 pieces of fudge with us to go and they too taste magnificent. I'll definitely be returning here one day. Honestly, the worst thing about this place is that you can't taste everything. Except maybe if you stay there a few days and have enough money to spend. So Jann, thank you for baking those delicious treats.

Absolutely amazing! Came to this town during winter and unfortunately most shops were closed except Jann’s Cakes. We got a pie as well as a toastie, and it was real good! Service was also so pleasant and kind, and we’re glad we got to try some small bites from this town.

Cakes are DELICIOUS! Slices are huge and they’re well worth the money! Both people running the shop were also lovely! 10/10 would recommend.

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.

Had one of the nicest Mint Choc Chip ice creams here. Nice surroundings to enjoy as well.

Absolutely delicious ice cream! The taste is truly natural and there are both classic and untypical flavours to try - all of them fantastic!

Lovely little ice cream place with a great selection of interesting flavours. I had a dark chocolate ginger cheesecake cone - it was delicious, unique and excellent quality. Reasonable prices too. Many comments/reviews about high prices but I disagree, you can’t get good quality goods from a small business where product is made on site for less than the prices here (I can’t remember but think it was £3.50 single scoop)

Amazing ice cream shop. The flavours are delicious, prices are fair and flavours change from time to time. An amazing shop to visit on a hot day. My go to spot for ice cream here~

Delicious ice cream at a decent price. I never thought of having a sour cherry flavour in ice cream but it went great with the fragments of dark chocolate :⁠-⁠) Yummy salted caramel, too, says my daughter.

Had 2 flavours myself and both stunning, family tried other flavours also extremely good. Would definitely return for more next time we are in Tobermory!

Can't go wrong with some delicious ice cream. A few unique flavours, the raspberry ruffle was really nice and the honeycomb smooth as you like. Would return to try some more flavours when back on Mull.

Decent coffee and good choice of large portion meals. Not amazing but will certainly fill you up and for a reasonable price. Would return.

The food was quite good. They even had a vegan spinach and falafel burger (pictured) and some vegan dessert options. Only downside was the waiting time due to it being one of the few places open for lunch on the island.

Lovely little shop with friendly staff. Nice that you can see into the kitchen where they make the yummy toffee. Delicious lunches too. I recommend the hot smoked salmon!

Great good and Coffee, fair price . Good view when you eat outside (castle) .

Stopped here today for lunch, had a great seat in the sun overlooking the water. Got veggie burgers - great value for money with big portion inc fries and onion rings :) also don’t use any plastic! They also stock oat milk and was a great coffee! Lovely quick service and great staff. Thanks!!

The best smoked salmon baguette I ever had in my life!! What a treat!!!

A small hut no toilets in the premises but some up the road . Maybe 5 or 6 tables was busy . Seemed staff were 2 one inside the kitchen the other in the front then in the back . Apologies given for a delay which was fair enough but just felt we wernt meant to be there as we were like oh no not another customer . Drinks were luke warm . Cakes nice and moist but my cake just tasted of cake plain not coffee and walnut but it was moist so that was a plus . Maybe staff were busy having a bad day . This place could be a gem if it was more positive I mean at the end of the day customers pay the wages .

Delicious!!! My daughter and I treated ourselves to a mint ice-cream, and a coconut & sriracha.. absolutely divine. We will be back!

What a treat! I was absolutely delighted by the ice cream. I can wholeheartedly recommend the mango sorbet – I've truly never tasted anything so delicious! A dream for every ice cream lover. 🍊

Very tasty ice cream! We had the pistachio a d the Scottish oats

Loved the white chocolate &hazelnut scoop. Would definitely come back when in portree again. Friendly staff and cute store. A bit pricey compared to Italian ice-cream tho. But the overall experience was satisfying

Very delicious ice-cream, lovely flavours and great textured silky ice-cream, we had a plain waffle cone and salted caramel and white chocolate/hazelnut, and a sprinkle waffle cone with brambleberry/white choc chip and white chocolate/hazelnut. Could not have been happier, is a must visit in Portree. There were other things on offer, ice-cream sammiches and such, but we just head tunnel vision for the cones and scoops. The staff that worked there could not have been nicer and were very kind to our beloved dog Pete and he got a little doggy portion of ice-cream for being a good boy.

Got the recommended raspberry honey and oat ice cream 🍦Very thick milk flavor. Definitely 10/10😋

Cute little shop with fresh double cream ice cream and random candies. I got their gingerbread + custard cone - so creamy and delicious! The gingerbread pieces in the custard ice cream. Just make sure you have cash on you. Definitely check this place out if you're in the mood for dessert.

Delicious ice cream! Nice having such fresh fruity flavours and blended on the spot. Well worth a visit!

The ice cream is delicious and really fresh and fruity-blissful!

Delighted to see NZ real fruit ice cream on the Isle of Harris! Delicious 😋
