Glen Lyon Coffee Roasters, Aberfeldy Travel Guide

Discover the Roastery Café

Tucked into Aberfeldy Business Park on the banks of the River Tay, Glen Lyon Coffee Roasters offers an authentic glimpse into speciality coffee production. Founded in 2011 in remote Glen Lyon, the operation moved to this bright, airy space equipped with two Probat roasters, a cupping lab, and a welcoming café. As a proud B Corp, they prioritise sustainability while roasting the world's finest beans. The café buzzes Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, serving flat whites, pour-overs, and hot chocolates alongside cakes and pastries from local partners like Glenlyon Tea Room, Ballintaggart, and Wild Hearth Bakery.

Seasonal Coffee Excellence

Experience rotating single origins and blends, with signature Red Stag espresso always available—bold, fruity, and perfect for milk drinks. The menu evolves with seasonal sourcing from Peru, Ethiopia, Bolivia, and beyond. Purchase beans in 250g or 1kg bags (ground to order), plus merch, mugs, books, and brewing gear. Baristas share enthusiastic insights on flavour profiles, making every visit educational and delicious. Vegan and gluten-free treats ensure options for all.

Cosy Ambiance and Community Hub

Warm up by the wood-burning stove in winter or relax outdoors under the canvas yurt in summer. Dog-friendly (on leads), with free WiFi, parking, and space for quick bites or lingering chats. This spot doubles as a community anchor, hosting Tuesday yoga, monthly Repair Café, live music, storytelling, and workshops. Private roastery tours available end-of-month, bookable online.

Highland Pit Stop

Ideal along the Rob Roy Way, it's a tranquil escape amid Perthshire's stunning landscapes. Friendly staff, impeccable service, and ethical practices elevate it beyond a standard café. Whether grabbing coffee to go or savouring a pour-over with cinnamon buns, Glen Lyon delivers Highland hospitality with world-class coffee.
