Loch Lomond

Soup in Luss, squirrels at Lochgoilhead.

Most of the cafés here are small places close to the water or the walking routes. On Loch Katrine you can have breakfast by the steamship's berth, then walk or cycle the lochside road to a family café at Stronachlachar at the far end. At Lochgoilhead, red squirrels come to the feeders outside a café in a boat shed. Luss has a coach house known for its soups, Balmaha makes its own ice cream, and Strathyre's café on the cycle route pours Italian coffee. Callander's coffee shop has a secret garden for fine days. Hours change out of season, so check ahead in winter.

St Mocha, Balmaha.

St Mocha opened at Balmaha in 2014, beside the Oak Tree Inn on the West Highland Way, and it was the first of the St Mocha coffee shops. The coffee for all of them is still roasted here, and the ice cream is made on site by hand. It is a small, cheerful place, where walkers coming down off Conic Hill queue with day-trippers for a flat white, a toastie or a scoop of something cold. On a warm day the tables outside fill quickly. Take a bag of the house coffee home with you.

The Broch Cafe.

The Broch Café is a family-run café in a timber lodge on Main Street in Strathyre, at the head of Loch Lubnaig, with a carved Highland cow standing outside. It sits right on National Cycle Route 7, so cyclists and walkers on the Rob Roy Way are among its regulars. The family are proud of their Italian heritage, and the coffee is made the Italian way. The food is fresh, with meat from a good local butcher, plenty for vegetarians and vegans, and a counter of home baking. Dogs are welcome inside and out.

Coach House Coffee Shop.

The Coach House is one of the best-loved stops on Loch Lomond, a stone building on Church Road in Luss, rebuilt from the ruin of the village's old coach house. It opened in 1997 and has a character all its own, with tartan crockery, rustic tables and a warm welcome. Come for the soups, each big enough to call a meal and served with a hunk of local bread, or for the home baking and good coffee. The eggs come from the café's own hens. Dogs are made very welcome, with treats and water on hand.

The Boat Shed Café.

The Boat Shed Café is a small café in the boat shed at Loch Goil Cruisers, on the Carrick Castle road just outside Lochgoilhead, looking straight across the water to the wooded hills. It is fitted out with old boat-shed timber and nautical odds and ends, and it is a cosy place to sit before or after a trip on the loch. The menu is simple and good: fresh sandwiches and soup, scones with jam and cream, Highland-roasted coffee and thick hot chocolate made with real chocolate. Watch the trees outside the window, where red squirrels come to the feeders.

The Pier Cafe.

The Pier Café stands at Stronachlachar, at the quiet western end of Loch Katrine, and its windows and tables look straight out over the loch to the hills. It is family-run and relaxed, with home-cooked breakfasts and lunches, soups and baking, and takeaways for a picnic by the water. You can reach it by a lovely drive over the hills from Aberfoyle, or by walking or cycling the quiet lochside road from Trossachs Pier. Walkers and cyclists are welcome, muddy boots and all, and so are dogs. It keeps shorter hours in winter.
