Cafe Blasta in Argyll & Bute

Had a takeaway so not able to properly enjoy the fantastic views. Lots of home cooking, including cakes and loaves. We had toasties, salads, cakes and baked potatoes but they do more. What we had were prepared with much care, much more than standard fare for these dishes. Part of the Gaelic Centre and could be easily missed, though on the main road, just outside Bowmore. Very friendly and helpful service. Coronavirus safeguards are taken seriously.

My wife and I dropped into the café last week where we both had great vegetarian food. The choice is really good and the cook is happy to make things not on the menu (within reason) for vegans. The staff are friendly and professional. We ended up meeting a local and we spent ages catching up on gossip (we used to live on slay). Highly recommended.

Ate here three times in one week recently, and have eaten here in previous years. Food is always lovely. The young lady at the counter (perhaps fairly new and a bit unsure?) needs a little more guidance and could learn from the more mature members of staff regarding general communication, eye contact, a smile etc., but she did consult for answers. Having been on a gluten free diet earlier in the year, it was really good to see GF food on offer, so fine for coeliacs. The actual building (Gaelic college) is lovely, bright and airy with interesting displays on the walls. Its only fault is that it’s not open on a Saturday and it closes at 3.30pm during the week.

This is a marvellous place to meet and greet people you’ve not seen for some time. The food and service are fantastic.

A cheerful cafe with basic but good food e.g. soup, panini and toasties. It was good value and clearly a hit with the locals. Recommend for a quick lunch in a nice spot with parking.

Nos tomó unos días para averiguar dónde estaba este lugar, pero una vez que lo hicimos, nos alegramos de que habíamos encontrado! Tomamos café y selecciones de su horneado varios días durante nuestra visita a Islay y quedamos muy satisfechos con sus ofrendas. Nuestro calendario nunca era bastante justo para parar a almorzar, pero olía de maravilla cuando estuvimos allí. Para cualquiera que no estoy seguro, en gaélico Centro justo abajo de la autopista de Bowmore. Estoy un poco claro si abren a las 10 o 10:30, pero luego están abiertas hasta, creo, a las 3:30 de la tarde.

Este es, por mucho, mi favorito café en la isla, que cada vez que visite Islay! Gran selección de deliciosa comida a un precio genial y la casa para hornear es para morirse - a pesar de las raciones generosas que siempre había espacio para uno de los increíbles pasteles ️ ☺

Afternoon teas were brilliant; a place not to be missed. Scones were the best I have ever tasted and the puddings a dream !!

Fuimos para el almuerzo en un encantador personal de vacaciones. sopa casera y un panini folloed por una tarta. La sopa era preciosa, caliente y llena de sabor y panini estaba bien lleno. El pastel de zanahoria tan bueno y también sabía mi Pavlova de nuestros compañeros, pasteles para morirse. Vale la pena una visita, no puedes visitar Islay y posiblemente no ir.

Vistas impresionantes de Loch Indaal del café, que era soleado, así que disfrutamos de nuestro almuerzo en una mesa fuera. La comida se correspondía con el paisaje con muchas tentaciones exhibidos en el menú, me decidí a la hamburguesa de ternera Islay con ensalada y col, que era delicioso. Mi acompañante de comedor tenía un black pudding, brie y panini caramalised de cebolla, que también fue excelente.Después, un café con un trozo de tarta de limón: llovizna )
