The first sign this was going to be a good experience was when we turned up and the car park was full, we were lucky to find a table, a nice lady and her little girl were just leaving. We had the burger for our lunch which was one of the best burgers I've ever had and the chilli jam was gorgeous! I'm afraid I couldn't resist a bit of cake afterwards as they all looked so good, I can definitely recommend the double espresso cake, so good. Great service, nice staff and lovely food. Thank you!
Superb
Proper full English tea (scones with cream & jam, ham sandwich & fantastic sweets (especially the lemon drizzle cake)
And a spectacular view (Brough of Birsay)
You need a reservation but you will not be dissatisfied. The gang at Birsay Bay Tearoom made this our Orkney best stop. Top food and baking and a group of people that are outstanding. Thank you for making our day and such a great memory for our trip. The Canadians.
Very good bakers. The scones were excellent and went very nicely with the Scottish breakfast tea.
Wonderful cafe at Birsay. Had the balti sweet potato soup with cheese scone for 5 £. Great flavour in the soup with Indian spice and the cheese scone the best I've had in Scotland ( and I've had a few). Friendly staff, great views. Not open every day so was lucky on a Monday.
This tea room is a perfect gem almost in the middle of nowhere. Amazing cakes, cream teas, sandwiches, soups. The cafe is open and airy. Great views. Food comes on very cute China and the tea cups are dainty and sweet. Just lovely. Possibly consider calling for a reservation, cafe fills quickly
A simple yet great offering of local produce. Menu is varied, cakes very good and a great selection of drinks. Definitely worth calling in. Great views out to the Bay and the service is spot on
Will definitely call back.
They were getting ready to close when we got there , but still lots of people. The coffee, Queen Victoria sponge cake was to die for . The view from the window, looked out to the water. Best of all they grow a lot of their own veg for restaurant use ,and they also sell the veg . Yummy
We arrived, and the cafe was having a few issues with mains water - out with their control. We managed to get seated quickly because of this.
We had soup & cheese scone - lentil & lemon soup was very tasty.
The Billionaires tray bake is fabulous.
Outstanding views of the countryside.
Booking ahead is a wise plan.
Beautiful café tea room with stunning views of the sea. They serve up some fantastic food, but their speciality s are the cakes. Make sure you leave enough room to sample some. Absolutely delicious 😋
Booked for lunch yesterday. The tea room is in a great location. Due to it's popularity I had a slight wait for a table, but that didn't matter.
The menu had a good selection of lunch time favourites as well as cakes and bakes.
Staff and service are very efficient. I would recommend a visit. Due to its popularity, make sure you book a table on its website to avoid disappointment.
Nice little tea room.
It's very popular so it would be a good idea to book a table in advance.
We were lucky and turned up on the off chance and got a table by a window. It also had binoculars to view Birsay. How nice is that.
The tea and cakes were lovely. And the staff were lovelier still!
All good 😎 👍 👍 👍
