Birch Café is a gem among Portree’s coffee spots. It offers a friendly atmosphere and great service, with tasty homemade cakes to boot. The vegan options are plentiful, as well as chorizo sandwich, overnight oats and delicious toast with chickpea hummus, tomato and aioli. The coffee is divine - roasted in-house - and the lemon meringue cupcakes shun comparison. Perfect for an afternoon break from shopping in town, Birch Cafe has earned its reputation as the best café on the Isle of Skye.
