In two weeks of vacation traveling, we only visited one spot twice. That spot was Inverness Coffee…read moreRoasting Company. It's a tiny spot located on the outskirts of town (at least, that's how it felt for us as we were walking around, though I'm sure that's not true...) The three people that we encountered on our two visits were warm and welcoming, and brewed up some dang fine coffee! We stayed in on our first visit. We needed to waste a bit of time before meeting up for our Rabbie's day tour, and we wanted somewhere warm and comfortable to sit for a bit. They have a couch and a couple comfy chairs, as well as a couple of tables for one to lounge at. We settled in on the couch to enjoy our coffee. On our first visit, I got a cortado, knowing that the caffeine would help, and the small serving size wouldn't wreak havoc with my bladder (Rabbie's vans don't have bathrooms on board!) My husband ordered a latte, of course. Both drinks were expertly made and full of flavor. We were offered a bit of butter tablet, but we both declined this round. We got our drinks to go on our second visit (our last day in town). I went with a regular hot chocolate, and my husband got another latte. This time I did take the offered butter tablet, and I'm so glad I did. It somehow cut the sweetness of the cocoa...or maybe the cocoa cut the sweetness of the tablet. I don't know what it was, but they worked surprisingly well together! We'd definitely make it a point to stop in for warm caffeinated drinks if we're lucky enough to visit Inverness in the future.

It's certainly the best coffee around, and would hold its own in any major city. The owners are super friendly, and know what they're doing. They've got artisan beans from Edinburgh, a La Marzocco espresso machine, the works. They serve some desserts and chocolates as well. And there are toilets around the corner of the building. There's no seating inside, but there is a bench outside, and plenty of places to sit within walking distance. I really have nothing bad to say about the place. So if you're looking for some decent coffee (I know my wife was after a few days out here on Skye), this is your place!

Stopped in with my wife for lunch…read more My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy, and I've got a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, plus a diabetes kicker. The kitchen was knowledgeable and accommodating--no long explanation required, which is always a good sign. They also had a couple of gluten-free desserts available, which is a bonus worth mentioning. She had the burger, I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were good. Nothing flashy about the place, but that's not what you're here for. Solid, straightforward lunch spot in Portree. Good for: quick lunch with friends Would return.

There are very few options for lunch in Portree apparently, and this is one of the places that was suggested by our Tour operator. It was a quaint little café, with a cute interior and a small, simple menu. My wife opted for the Fish and Chips, and I ordered a Cafe Smash Burger. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. I did enjoy the large strip of bacon in the burger. This is a Cafe where youplace your order and pay for your meal at a counter. The staff don't interact with us much but seemed nice enough. The glass display did have some treats that looked enticing, but we didn't try any of them. All in all, I don't think you have a lot of options for a meal when visiting Portree, so I would say this would probably be the best one to go to. They'll serve you a meal, and it should probably fill you up. But it's nothing special.
