Assynt Tea shops - Ullapool to Achmelvich

I'll be riding this route next year and cannot remember if there are tea shops along here. I know of others in the area but I am particularly interested in any potential tea stops between Ullapool - Drumrunie - Inverkirkaig - Lochinver - Achmelvich, so the very remote southerly route.
It is very remote in parts and I cannot remember any teashops in particular along there, can anyone advise please?
Cheers in advance

There are cafes in
Achiltibuie and Polbain, also off route (as are Elphin and Unapool), but at least in a direction you may choose to go if you fancy a detour.
I'd stock up with munchies in Ullapool. If you stick to the route thare's nothing before Inverkirkaig & Lochinver (even a hotel, which are generally also good for teas).
Google streetview can be good for checking things like this out.

Lochinver Mission by harbour for meals and Drumbeg Little Soap and Candle Tea Room for tea (you'll need it by then!) are both highly recommended. If you're doing the loop and then heading south to Skiag Bridge, slight detour to Kylesku Hotel is also worthwhile.
