After a 100km cycle around the peninsula this lunch was exactly what we needed. Beautiful flat whites using Argyll Roaster coffee. The venison burger was incredible, freshly cooked to order it was super tasty and devoured whilst sitting in the sunshine with a great view of the Loch. The ferry across is free to foot passengers. So if you are on the road to Fort Bill stop at Corran Ferry, park the car and get across for some beautiful food, coffee and cakes. You will not be disappointed! 5 STAR!!

Just a caravan in a car park but one of the best cafes I have visited in ages. Great coffee, delicious cakes and friendly owner. Highly recommended.

Super small van cafe with great service and great coffee. Situated next to the pub ( which has its toilets open even though the pub itself doesn’t open until 4pm) and the ferry ramp.

Truly excellent coffee, delicious breakfast options and decent tray bakes, all at sensible prices. With something of a monopoly in that spot, at least at breakfast time, others would slack on quality and/or take advantage. Nomad Cafe sells good food and charges what it's worth. Long may it continue!

Great wee pop up cafe. If your passing or waiting on ferry then bacon roll and coffee is a must. Very quick service and tasty. Ferry from Ft William is free for foot passengers so no excuse.

A beautifully crafted caravan cafe with locally sourced food and products. Friendly, fast and very tasty and unique food. The toasties and brownies are worth a wee detour. Also, a fantastic cafe to plan your day around with some epic mtb, road cycling, swimming, climbing and walking very near! Could start your day there with breakfast or aim for an afternoon coffee and cake. .
