The Mountain Coffee Co - Gairloch

Stumbled upon this place accidentally when seeking out a coffee shop. Very excited to see an all veggie menu of bagels with plant based coffee specials! Sitting outside with the sounds of the sea and the coast line visible through the trees, I could be led to believe I was in the med rather than highlands.

In the middle of nowhere of Western Scotland one would not expect to get too many vegan options. Yet here we are. This place won't try to sell you fish as vegan, they know what's the story. They are very friendly and the sheesecake is just so worth it.

In a remote location in West Scotland, one would not expect to find many vegan options. However, this restaurant proves otherwise. They do not try to pass off fish as vegan, and are very knowledgeable about their offerings. The staff is friendly and the cheesecake is absolutely delicious. It is definitely worth the visit.

There are plant-based milk options for drinks and a few vegan cake choices available. The ambiance of the space is pleasant.
