Excellent breakfast this morning and as previously enjoyed fine ingredients, well cooked and presented! With a friend who was equally impressed with the Cafe/Bistro and will no doubt be back.

I love coming here whenever I'm in Ayr. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. It's a very friendly place. The girls who work there are so welcoming and helpful. I've not found somewhere as good in London or anywhere else. Amazing and excellent service
