Highlands & Islands, Isle of Skye - Café

Niall Munro opened this cool little speciality café down a Portree side street after checking out the coffee scene in Melbourne. Inside, the look is sleek and Scandi-chic, all pared-back pale wood. Beans are sourced direct from growers and roasted in small batches; you can also buy their current roasts, along with custom-made ceramic coffee cups. To eat, expect anything from chia-seed pudding to sourdough with assorted toppings – from scrambled eggs, chorizo, lacto-fermented chilli and Parmesan to charred asparagus, salsa verde and blue cheese. Not a coffee fan? Try smoked strawberry and lime iced tea. A second Portree branch opened recently with a more industrial, exposed-brick vibe.
