Arlene's Coffee Shop was our first stop on the Isle of Mull . Just across from the Craignure ferry terminal lies this very busy little shop that caters for takeaway food,Coffees and sit- in Customers alike . I was only interested in the Cakes and boy was there Cakes. Right in front of me as you enter the shop is the biggest display of Homemade Cakes that you have ever seen from Cakes, Mousses ,Chocolates to Sponges,Traybakes and Cheesecakes. I would have been impressed just to stand and look at the Cakes alone. This is a mother and daughter team ,Ishbel and Arlene that are a hardworking duo in this busy shop . I arrived early and caught them all in a busy lunch time so i was happy just to gaze at the Cakes until a huge plate of almost every cake was delivered to my table . Left alone to my own devices i was in heaven. I tried the maple syrup and pecan Cheesecake,The Passion fruit and Blackcurrant Mousse cake ,Fruit Slice, Shortbread Pistachio and Lime cake and my new all time favourite - A Moorish Chocolate and Coconut slice - heavens above this was all first class Baking and skilled into the bargain. To Bake this size of display of cakes to the standard that is being achieved here is hard work and dedication ,but the skill involved is worthy of a Five star restauarant . Next time you decide to drive past a ferry terminal array of shops - think again as you may just be missing the best Cakes you have ever tasted .Well done Arlene's Coffee Shop and your team and keep up the good work.
