"Good quality home baking, soup and proper toasted sandwiches. If the weather is kind it is lovely to sit in the garden among the fuchsia bushes.Service is friendly.The only issue is with the 'tradition ' that seems to have developed on Iona (and much of Mull) where businesses close down completely at the end of the season . Visitors to Scotland no longer restrict themselves to the traditional season in the same way as a few years ago, so although visitor numbers are obviously higher in the Spring and Summer, they do not disappear come October. Coach loads of tourists still arrive at Ffionnphort every day and the vast majority take the ferry over to Iona.It is a shame that visitors to somewhere as special as Iona are faced with closed businesses from as early as mid-October.If you visit between Easter and October, it 's well worth a visit for a hot drink and cake on your way to or from the abbey."

On a grey day on Iona we were made very welcome here, for a mid-morning coffee. Would definitely return.

NO SCONES! nice cup of tea though and a biscuit. Would have sat outside if it wasn't full of midges at the time.

Stopped here on walk to the Abbey. Friendly staff and delicious BLTs. Couldn’t get a photo of the cakes as they went too quickly.

We stopped for lunch at the Iona Heritage Center Garden Cafe and were pleasantly surprised by the the menu and quality of food. The service also was excellent.

We ate indoors, due to the windy conditions, but it was pretty outside. The Elderflower Lemonade was quite delicious. The freshly-made sandwiches were quite tasty.

Called The Rookery Café it’s a lovely cozy place, has a beautiful garden. The owner is very welcoming. Delicious homemade cakes and coffee and serves light lunches.

An absolutely brilliant place to sit down and enjoy a break on the way to the abbey. Now called the Rookery café, sitting in the garden was very special as were the freshly baked scones!

Enjoyed the hot chocolates, cheese toasty and shortbread. Friendly and helpful staff with good knowledge of island. Lovely garden in Spring it was full of Blackcaps and Willow Warblers :

Stopped off for lunch here not long after arriving on the island for a short visit. It was a lovely day, but we decided to sit in to get out the sun for a while. There were lots of seats outside in the lovely garden area however (which was busy). I had a soup and sandwich combo which was freshly prepared and very tasty. Cafe was clean and the staff were friendly. Lots of nice treats to try for those with a sweet tooth too. Our three year old son enjoyed his lunch too!
