Benmore Cafe & Shop in Argyll & Bute

Lovely place we were so pleased to find this gem. The service was great and cakes were to die for. The shop has a great variety of Scottish produce and we spent about 30 mins just browsing the great stuff.It is a little on the expensive side so bring plenty of money. I would have given 5 stars if it hadnt been so expensive.

Worth a look if you are in the area,I missed most rhodedrones and hostas flowering but there's plenty to please, entry fee 6.5 adult but cafe way overpriced.

delicious food, amazing service. a shame we only found it on the last day of our holiday

Great place for an afternoon snack and coffee /tea after a nice walk around Benmore Gardens. Gets quite busy so you may have to wait to get served. They also do a Xmas dinner throughout December each year. Full monty with trimmings. Choice of 3 X starters, main courses, and sweet. Bring your own bottle. Book in advance for Xmas dinner. In general the menu offers a wide range. Good quality. Recommended.

Very tranquil location with stunning views both at the gardens and on the road to it

Didn't use the cafe as we were there to see the fantastic botanical gardens though it looked very nice. The shop is small selling China ornaments to Nik naks and postcards.Overall its a great place to visit and coach parties tell you it is popular.

Awesome gardens to explore through the year. My fave time of the year to visit is end of May until mid June when the pond looks awesome with the himalayas blue poppies in bloom beside them. Wild life hide pretty much gaurentees red squirrel sightings within a very short time.

Good location for start of walks and entry to botanical gardens with plenty of free parking. Cafe had good choice of locally produced food at reasonable prices, friendly staff and wonderful range of cakes.

We have been to Benmore gardens many times over at least 15 years and have hundreds of photos. Can't think why we never thought of reviewing before as it's one of our favourite locations as we love plants, gardens AND cake! We never miss having a meal or a coffee and cake in the cafe and browsing the shop for gifts to take home. Whoever it is runs the cafe should have stars awarded. The food is fab and service really excellent. Definitely 5 stars. Love it.

Good selection of quality fare, from snacks, teas and coffees to full meals, not the usual offerings. Beautiful setting with picnic style tables outside if desired, weather permitting.
