There are many excellent tea rooms/coffee shops in and around Gairloch, but Thomas and his team are quite outstanding. They cater for food at all times of day and the quality and portion sizes are consistently good. We shall see you next year. The Treacle Scone Twins!

Popped in here for a drink with our dogs after visiting the beach. The staff were so friendly and inviting. They were very happy to have wet dogs in the cafe and gave us something for them to lay on and lots of treats! Lovely little cafe, we'll certainly return if we're in the area again.

Best place to eat in Gairloch and surrounding area. Fantastic value, generous portions and a really nice vibe about the place. Thomas and Lynda, together with their lovely team will make sure you are well catered for. Plenty of parking in the large car park and there are tables outside if the weather is good - it's also dog friendly. The sandy beach is just at the back of Links Cafe, very handy. Burgers are amazing, fish and chips are delicious with Thomas's special recipie batter, lasagne is tasty and the homemade ice-cream is a must. We're lucky to live close enough to drive over for a cappuccino and cake of an afternoon, cake is always a delicious, large portion. It's licenced if you fancy a glass of wine or a beer with your meal. If you holiday over the winter here, be sure to book a table for Sunday roast lunch. The best I've ever had! Do not miss out on Links Cafe if you visit Gairloch.

The food was amazing, tried one of their chicken burger and it was perfect. The staff are super friendly, even have a bit of quick banter with them and they do their best to provide quick services. Would absolutely recommend to eat here. (One of the man called Mike recommended this place and saved a reservation for us, I give my respects to him)
