Nice little café. Nice staff, good portions reasonable priced food. Coffee is lovely. Can recommend Nachos with chilli and Nachos with the Haggis.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch of chicken, fries and slaw washed down with a biscoff milkshake. Absolutely gorgeous stuff! Really good service here as well, very welcoming?

We popped in here as it was the only place we could find open, it was busy and seems popular. We ordered takeaway, the wait was a little long and people behind us in the que got served before us. The food was lovely and portion sizes were great. It's dog friendly and they have a dog menu if you sit in, but we ordered dog ice cream to takeaway, we got charged, then were told 10 mins later, there was none! Definitely worth popping in to try!

Amazing vegan options; hot rolls with vegan haggis, sausage and tattie scone. Homemade vegan ice cream! And cake, plant milk. Really cute atmosphere and super affordable, dog friendly as well. Absolutely worth a visit.

Love visiting this cafe! We come up from Somerset, this was our second visit, always seems busy and a sense of community inside. Nice food and cakes, not to mention the locally roasted coffee, it was so good I bought a bag of it to take home!

Up in Scotland to see my mother and i had the idea to get some lunch from The Swallow Cafe. Amazing Food at great prices, 7 of us walked in and was greeted straight away by the friendly staff, We all had a bite to eat and a drink (Best Latte I have had since being in Scotland), Place was so good that on the way out we all got ice cream and cakes and I can assure you all delicious and went down a treat, Thank you for everything and next time we are back up here we will definitely visit again.

Great food, but it was clearly closing time. This wasn’t mentioned at the time of ordering. As we sat waiting for food, the blinds were all pulled down around us, every chair put up on other tables and the floor swept around as we ate. Unfortunate as wanted to like it. We felt under pressure to leave and skipped pudding as a result.

We had a cracking feed here - great traditional cafe with great service and food. Also dog friendly
My husband and I visited this bustling cafe today for lunch. The staff very extremely lovely and happy to help with anything. I have coeliac disease and when I asked what I could have to eat that was gluten free the answer was a lot! They even have a separate gluten free frier!!! So chips were an option. A true miracle in the life of a coeliac. I had a lovely toasty with homemade coleslaw and cheesy chips. A must visit for any gluten free-er in Dunoon!

Welcoming staff, great choices for food, accomodating gluten free and offering the dog some water. Well worth a visit can recommend the Mars crispie!

Rude staff , we had to wait almost an hour for 3 cappuchinos and 3 bacon rolls , the atmosphere was very awkward the woman who works in the swallow was screaming and shouting in the kitchen

Went in today for 3 ice cream cones, not even 1 full scoop was given on each one and was charged £2.30 each total rip off and ice cream was pretty tasteless left there and drove to invarary for decent ones

Dog friendly and people friendly ? love this wee place. Sitting here at moment enjoying my Mocha and black pudding and cheese toastie. My wee dog Rory enjoyed his sausages and the very friendly staff also offered water for dog without needing to ask. Worth a visit if in Dunoon. Off to Pucks Glen now for a walk.
