Mackenzie's Bakery - Highland

If you're in Portree, this is almost a requirement. We grabbed a breakfast treat before hopping the bus off the Island. (It's right across the street on the Square. Delicious latte and vegetarian sausage roll. My friend got a scone. They DO have outdoor seating, which we enjoyed because the weather wasn't bad but wouldn't be good on a rainy day. They DO have indoor seating, it appears (and bathrooms but it was closed off when we were there. (Public bathrooms a block away. So wasn't as coze a time as we hoped. But glad we did it!

While staying in the highlands we spent a day on the Isle of Skye. We had our quite large dog with us, so lunch needed to be somewhere we could accommodate him while we ate, and McKenzie’s Bakery, opposite the car park, had picnic benches outside we thought would work well. The menu is simple; sandwiches, salads and baked potatoes, not to mention tempting-looking cakes on display, as well as a decent selection of hot drinks. The queue, although out of the door due to local school lunchtime, was very swiftly dealt with, and no obstruction to a great lunch. We ordered three rolls (ham, cheese and chutney, and chicken tikka), which all came with fresh salad inside, plus a jacket potato with beans and cheese. The cheese was that lovely sharp tasting Scottish orange cheddar; the chicken tikka roll garnered particular praise from our teenage son. I had read to expect to pay a little more on Skye for lunch. It’s a tourist area and an island, and we’re fine with that. When I paid I was pleasantly surprised by the cost, about £24 for four lunches and hot drinks. The stream of local teens buying lunch in their school break is testament to this being a great place to stop.

Popped for lunch by accident as the cafe next door was closed. A lovely little place, the queue was out of the door. I had a salad box which was absolutely the best salad box I have ever had from a takeout place. My partner had a filled roll which he really enjoyed (and he is fussy) My mum indulged in a pastry and a slice of cake which she also enjoyed. We all had coffees and sat outside with our lunch. Service took a while, but it was exceptionally busy and space is finite in a bakery. Luckily there were tables etc outside Loved it

This place is utterly fantastic, do not miss it! It was very busy with locals and tourists when we popped in for coffee and cake (amazing chocolate brownie donut and huge Empire biscuit), but well worth wait. Reasonably priced too. We'll definitely back when next on Skye!

Great spot on the main square. The service was fast and the food was delicious. Good choice for a quick sandwich.
