Went here twice whilst visiting skye and can't wait to stop by again next time I'm up that way!! Everyone in the cafe were so lovely and welcoming and the selection of vegan cakes was next level 🤩🤩

Excellent choices!

We went here three times while staying on Skye. Once for takeaway coffee and cake and once for breakfast and again for lunch. Everything on the menu can be made vegan, and a lot of it is vegan as standard. They had an amazing selection of cakes and bakes of which about 80% were vegan, perhaps more. We had great pancakes and waffles and for lunch nachos and a mega sandwich. Dog friendly too.

Pros: Amazing cakes, Lovely people

LGBT/Vegan friendly, coolest cafe in Skye

Just the nicest place. I told them that I was vegan when I walked in and they burst out happily "well then you have come to the right place!" Everything can be made vegan they have vegan chicken and other meats, they have nondairy cheese for nachos topped with vegan haggis and their soups were all vegan as were most of their pastries and cakes, which by the way looked amazing even though we "only" had one.And no up charge for non-dairy milk!

Delicious cakes and great service

Forgot to take a photo but their Instagram page has lots. So many cakes on offer, hot drinks and a few lunch options. We got the vanilla chai cake which was delish. Dog friendly too. Highly recommend!

Exceptional vegan in Skye

So many options! We stopped for a drink but ended up grabbing cakes and wishing we could stay. They offer breakfast, lunch and treats for a quick treat. After a few days touring Skye, this was by far the best vegan friendly establishment we came across. The drinks and food were excellent. I would give it five stars if HC would allow.

Pros: Tasty cakes, Many food options, Atmosphere and staff

Amazing for vegans

I was so happy to come across this spot after feeling a bit worried about options for cafes/restaurants on Skye with decent vegan options. As others have stated everything can be veganised. Most cakes and pastries are vegan, no extra charge for alternative milks either. I had the beast sandwich which was unreal!

Pros: Everything can be made vegan, Queer friendly, Eco packaging

Cozy place with a welcoming atmosphere

Unluckily, we were only passing through, otherwise we would be coming back for more delicious cakes and the lovely atmosphere. Would give it 5 points, if that was possible on HappyCow 😀

Highly recommended

Very lovely and attentive servers, and bonus points for the adorable dog.
Everything on the menu can be made vegan. We had a vegan bacon roll, toasted raisin/cinnamon bagel with vegan creamcheese and a vegan BLAT sandwich.
And a bonus for the good coffee.
They also had huge cakes, looked amazing. If we were to return to this bit of Scotland, we would surely come back.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan, Lovely staff & cute dog, Good coffee (vegan m*lk options)

5 star worthy!

Absolutely fantastic place! Very cozy atmosphere, the friendliest staff members and best of all - everything can be made vegan and is clearly labeled.
We came here for lunch on our way into the isle of Skye and came again for coffee and scones on our way back to the mainland. So glad we found this café!

Great for lunch!

They have vegan alternatives for every ingredient, so everything on the menu can be made vegan. The vegan beast sandwich was fantastic; super tasty and very filling.

They also have a few nice looking vegan options for cakes and waffles but I had no more room😄

Great cakes and amazing service

This was a fantastic find. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything on their menu can be made vegan and the cake selection was very exciting. We had the cranachan cake and coffees which were delicious. I would give it 5 stars if happy cow would let me. The owners are really lovely characters and their dog Jinx is adorable. Highly recommend visiting here if you are in the area.

Pros: Loads of delicious cakes to choose from, Great service, Everything on the menu can be made vegan

An absolute gem 😍

The Coffee Bothy is such a delightful spot on Skye. It’s very vegan friendly (there are options for everything on the menu as one of the owners is vegan), the cakes were amazing, and everyone was lovely and so welcoming. Me and my girlfriend were delighted that it’s also super queer friendly! An absolute must visit!

5* - must visit

Happy cow won't allow 5* due to not being fully vg cafe but it is absolutely worth 5* !!
All the staff we met on our visit ensured we had a warm welcome and were so chatty and attentive.
The menu has so many choices you will struggle to choose! We ate in and bought takeaway for laterbin the day!
Skye is limited for vegan food places and on busy days the shops we found had v low stock, thank goodness for this place!!

Pros: Quick service, quality food friendly staff, Everything can be veganised- meat and diary, Amazing vibe and dogs welcome 5*

Sweet and friendly spot, where everything can be done vegan — sandwiches, soup, breakfast all day. But save room for the homemade vegan cakes !!! Huge display of choices and everything we tried was delicious! Queer friendly as well.

Absolutely amazing place

The owners of this place are absolutely amazing. I had been in a e with my baby and they were so lovely even offering to make me a sandwich after closing. We came for breakfast the next day and everything of the menu can be veganised as one of the owners is vegan!
We had the waffles and pancakes with fruit and it was absolutely delicious. They also have alternative milks!

Pros: Awesome owners, Every can be veganised , Good prices

Nicest sandwich I’ve ever had

The absolutely lovely guys running the Coffee Bothy said they can do anything on the menu completely vegan, so I opted for the chicken pesto sandwich - oh my word I think it was the nicest sandwich I’ve ever had! If I recall correctly, all of the homemade cakes are vegan and are deeeeelicious. I tried the Guinness cake and the coffee cake, I wish I was staying near enough to go there every day to try more!

I wanted to give 5 stars but the app won’t let me!

5 stars!

Vegan options, homemade cake and a puppy what more could you want!
Only been here a few months and already popular, hope it carries on.
Everything on the menu could be veganised, we had pancakes and the BLT. Could have stayed here all day but settled with some take away cake - cookies & cream and coffee & walnut were delicious, had more options to choose from as well. Lovely couple who own it and dog friendly which is a bonus.
Wish were local to visit again!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Homemade cakes, Dog friendly

Cons: Too far from home
