Lean To Coffee - Skye Cafe

Great place for quick coffee break on the way to sky. Friendly and cozy atmosphere, We had onion focaccia and cinnamon bun and was simply delicious. Also really nice and original outside sitting area!

Absolutely loved this place. The staff were so friendly and it was great to chat to them while we waited for our coffee. The baking all looked enticing and the Flat White was perfect. There was a outside rainbow too but I expect that isn’t a given.

A stop here is a must if you love speciality coffee. We visit Skye every September and I always try to squeeze a visit in. Brilliant coffee expertly made. We had a couple of toastiest which were also tasty. Service is excellent and the setting is quirky. Convenient stop on the way to popular areas of Skye and great to see an old property being used.

Absolutely stunning food. We both opted for the same smoked salmon toasties, which is a description that really doesn't do them justice. They were superb and the sourdough bread was perfection. I had a beautiful mocha and my husband had a honey chi latte. Full marks for everything.

One of the best and unique Coffee shops in Scotland. An old building turned coffee stop. Great views and even better food/ coffee.
We ordered lattes, two cardamom /cinnamon buns and two full hat toasties (this had salami cheese and onion chutney) all unreal and will deffo go again if in the area. Must visit 🤌🏻

Wow! Views, architecture, service and coffee all outstanding. The sign on the side of the road advertising a place to get coffee ahead was quickly dismissed as being a good idea. Luckily I was able to catch a quick glimpse of the place before the entrance to their parking lot. A quality setup in a converted shipping container was enough for me to make an overly aggressive hard right into the lot. This place was an unexpected jewel. You can see the beauty of the place in the pictures, I can’t say more. But the friendliness of the owners and everyone who worked there was only matched by the quality of their coffee. Based those 2 qualities alone this would be a great place even if it sat a top a garbage dump. Add the very tasty baked goods, the views and the design of the buildings and grounds and you have a place that will never be forgotten. I even bought a mug.

Such a gem! We had great coffee, full hat toasties, banana bread, cinnamon roll and blueberry muffin to share 💙 Tummies full before kicking off another at the roadtrip!

Cool little roadside café, with seating in a small ruin. Fun concept. The staff were very friendly, and they offered quite a few veg friendly options. A pleasant surprise on our journey, definitely worth a stop.

Love the set up and the whole feel of the place. Take the time to enjoy. Coffee was excellent, as was the muffin I had. Wish I’d had the amazing looking pear, walnut, honey and blue cheese focaccia now. 💭 Next time.

Nothing new or original to say, just to confirm the positive reviews of other guests. Small and quaint with quality coffees and espresso drinks. The toatees looked wonderful but I opted for a quick raspberry muffin. The beautiful morning made the place shine.

Brilliant use of an old structure for the sitting area and a container for the prep and service space. A perfect welcome to the Isle and a nice view. Staff was lovely, espresso hot and hard hitting just the way I like it. Food absolutely delicious! Cheese, pear, and walnut toastie and sourdough cinnamon roll were to die for. Don't miss a stop here to kick off your Skye journey.

Fantastic outdoor space and amazing baked goods. I also recommend the dark hot chocolate

Fantastic!! They use Birch coffee. Local roaster. They Know coffee. Epic cappuccino w a Brazil/Peru blend. Choco chunk cookie to die for. Super cozy, super friendly.

Great food, coffee so good that even the most discerning Melbournian coffee connoisseurs can appreciate. You will be greeted by beautiful authentic ruins in a stunning backdrop.
Come to the Isle of Sky
The road may be long
But the coffee is nigh

Great little spot to stop before and after you're trip to Skye. The coffee is Australian quality (the best in the world)

Lean To came highly recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing service, coffee and food! The set up is so cute - so glad we stopped.

The smoked salmon toasted croissant was the best croissant I’ve ever had. And the almond flat whites were incredible. Beautiful location too!

The food here is AMAZING. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re headed to Skye. There are three toasties available on the menu, along with assorted pastries and coffee/tea. The seating area is outdoors so we were a bit chilly but there were heat lamps available and the staff were more than willing to turn them on for us. The food was so good we returned to the coffee shop on the way out of Skye to grab one more toastie and some coffee beans to take home with us.

Definitely one of the best coffee we had in Skye! Their cinnamon rolls are exceptional
