Bernie's Cafe Deli in Renfrewshire

We went for tea and cake in the morning after a walk. Tea and coffee fine and staff good, but my wife is coeliac and there was nothing gluten free apart from toast! We live in a world that many people have allergies and to be told ' sorry no gluten free cakes today' is not great. Probably wouldn't ho again.

Excellent cafe with lovely staff. Nice decor and good service. We had the full cooked breakfast and it was fab. We also purchased cakes to go and they were delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

I like this little friendly cafe. I was sitting outside with friends and decided I wanted another cuppa and went inside to order the young girl said she would bring it out. I waited about 15 mins no coffee, so I went back inside and asked what happened she was too busy playing about with her phone and said to me "cappuccino about time" then she went to the coffee machine when I went back outside. Another 5 mins passed still no coffee, she was pretending to be making it then seen her leaving out the coffee shop. She seemed to couldn't be bothered to work and was more interested playing about with her phone.

Wonderful tasty breakfast cooked to perfection. Great choice of delicious food on the menu. Great friendly service, fast delivery of food. I will definitely be back again for this great deal on Groupon.

Been here a few times in the past with family and enjoyed our visits. Nice menu, food is good and well presented by friendly staff. Could do with some soft furnishings to absorb noise as can get very noisy / echoey when busy.

Great coffee Taste A bit lacking in music. Unlike Roasters. Too much like cafe 77. Very friendly. Rolls too soft. Love it though.

Great coffee Taste but the takeaway cups are not up to the job. seem to spill when you take a sip. So why not invest in some branded cups and put the price up. I’d pay more for nicer take out cups.

Had a lovely breakfast this morning everything was delicious ,and service from friendly staff Hilary and alan cant wait to return.

My hubby and I had a second visit here today. Another Groupon deal for hamburgers, chips and coleslaw. Both of us had the steak burger which were very tasty and of really good quality. Lovely fresh chips and the best creamy coleslaw along with it made this a very nice meal. The cafe was busy but handled well by the friendly staff.

Having previously purchased a Groupon voucher and having had a lovely breakfast we purchased 2 further breakfast vouchers (terms as per the initial voucher). On our first visit (15.7.23) a Saturday, a male member of staff talked us through how it all worked etc., and we even stayed for further coffee and cake. Today (28.8.23) however, was a terrible experience. Watch out for the contradictory statements on the voucher!!!!!!!! On being approached by a female member of staff to take our order we highlighted the fact that we had a breakfast voucher. She advised she would have to check if it was "valid"!!!! This puzzled us as it was the same as the first voucher. The same male member of staff who attended to us on our initial visit came over and requested us to open the App and to read the last sentence of the terms and conditions - which states it is not valid at the weekend. We pointed out that the said terms and conditions also stated "Valid Saturday - Sunday 9 am to 10.30 am. He advised that they knew the statement was wrong, had contacted Groupon and was not willing to honour the voucher for today. I find it strange that the exact same voucher is still on sale now containing the same contradictory statement - despite the Cafe and Groupon apparently both knowing it is wrong. And, as I have highlighted earlier, it was such a voucher we used on our initial visit!!! I pointed out this issue was between them and Groupon and that they should be honouring the contradictory vouchers until they sort this out with Groupon. Very bad experience today, not handled at all well by staff, we left the premises, without eating, wont be back and wont be recommending this establishment.

not great at all, young staff who are rude and bicker over the tables and whos tips they belong too, food was average at best, we are new to area but will avoid this greasy spoon with poor staff with rude attitude

Used Groupon voucher for two breakfasts . Food was piping hot and tasty . Staff were really friendly

My hubby and I were here today for a burger deal through Groupon. We had a steak burger and a chicken burger both of which were of really good quality. They were served with french fries and a very creamy and lovely coleslaw. Both of the staff that dealt with our order were very friendly and the cafe had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

far better places than this around, overpriced rude, staff and the sandwiches and pastries were clearly stale and not great quality. Avoid this cafe

Popped in for a cafe stop when out on bike with friends. Just for tea, maybe do with a bit bigger cup for the tea, or give a mug option, I like my tea! and a cake. As you can tell from title that cake was an large Empire biscuit. Tasted of shortbread and a soft icing...excellent! Very prompt, pleasant staff.

Excellent little cafe on the main road with superb and friendly service, varied menu and high quality food. Never had a poor meal on any visit. Delicious cakes available too.

First time visit. Had the best cooked breakfast in a long time. Lovely attentive staff. Couldn't fault anything and will definitely be back. 5/5 from me.

My cat had to go into the vet for an op. We had a couple of hours to spare an went into Bernie's for breakfast. It was delicious. Lovely friendly staff. Good prices. Clean and bright. Great atmosphere. My daughter and I really enjoyed our visit.

Went to Bernie's yesterday with the family for a spot of lunch, we were served by Emily. Customer service was excellent and our toasties, hot chocolates and coffees were amazing as usual. This place is a must if you are ever in Bridge of Weir.

Super friendly staff who were very helpful. Ordered a ciabatta and a club sandwich, both of which were fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone visiting as they have a very large menu and lots of choice. I will be back!

Visited Bernie s Cafe midweek, middle of the afternoon first time visiting. Pleasant surroundings inside and outside. Had burger fries & coleslaw , very enjoyable. Staff were excellent and friendly and made us feel most welcome. Although not from the area will certainly make an...

Partner opted for a GroupOn deal which was about to expire, so used it yesterday. There's no parking to speak of but if you go further along the road, follow the "P" signs, you double back on the main road and are quite close to...

Visited a couple of times within a week. Good range of dishes. Service good as well but a bit slow last time. A toastie and a “wee soup” was v popular. Parking a bit awkward but you can park down the lane.

Drove over with a couple of girlfriends to sample lunch; had a table reserved but front of house didn’t know; luckily there was spare tables. 2 of us had eggs benedict; sauce was amazing but the poached eggs were hard….our friend had a tuna baked...

Really nice food and a good menu choice - nice staff Nice little cafe deli - looks like it rightfully gets busy

Went here today for breakfast after spending the night at a cottage with the Mrs and it was top notch. Food was excellent and service was very pleasant. If I'm in the area anytime soon I know what I will be getting to eat.

Popped into Bernie’s for lunch today, on a Groupon deal. My niece and I both had the Cajun spiced chicken burger. It was delicious, as was the homemade coleslaw. The staff were friendly and attentive too. Will definitely be back.

Only good cafe in the village. Food and drinks are good but slightly overpriced. Decoration kinda not good but okay. Not great for disabled. Toilets are always closed. Not the best for young people. Take to long to bring drinks, they take about 15mins. Only...

Fantastic food, helpful friendly covid focused staff with an extensive menus highly competitively priced.

Visited today (26.10.20). Place looks nice. Given a nice table - good social distancing. Has tomato soup which was ok. Then we had scones - we both agreed that they were not appetizing looking and then when we cut into them they were hard /...

We purchased some groupon vouchers for this place as I had heard it was really good. The service was great, the staff were very friendly and food was very tasty, it was well worth the trip. The cafe itself was freezing cold and decor quite...

We went for afternoon coffee break at Bernie’s Cafe Deli when passing through town. This was a really nice coffee place, the service was fine. They offered coffee Kimbo we all love in my family, and the cakes we got were all good quality home...

Rather tasty. Excellent service Using a local business for the meat, top points for that. Gluten free bread and solid advise on what you can and can not eat. Now for a moan. Fried eggs, I'm so fussy with these things. I don't like them...

Visited this café for a full breakfast and a bacon roll and to try the place out, as I had driven past before and seen how busy it was on a Saturday morning, so thought it might be worth a try. We were not disappointed,...

I visited Bernie’s on Monday 3 August with my 5 year old daughter. I live locally and I’ve been a regular customer at Bernie’s since it opened. Something has changed. It used to be the type of place where the staff knew your name, knew your usual order etc. The customer service has always been exceptional. Yesterday, I was made to feel like an inconvenience. A young member of staff (with blonde hair) spent our entire visit rolling her eyes at customers. It was so very rude and made me feel uncomfortable. She rolled her eyes at a table politely asking for menus, at a table asking for more drinks etc. I asked a very helpful member of staff (with red hair) if I could move from an outside table to a table inside as my daughter was cold - I was unsure if this would be possible due to the track and trace procedures in place. She kindly helped us to an alternative table. The aforementioned rude member of staff balked at me for moving shouting “you can’t move due to the COVID thing. You have to tell someone”. I explained that I had asked permission and she demanded to know who I had spoken to. I then witnessed the infamous eye rolling. I fully appreciate that it is a very difficult for businesses at present but that doesn’t give staff permission to be rude to customers. I’m really disappointed.

Had afternoon tea at home with my wife, prepared by our favourite cafe Bernies. Absolutely delicious. Let's hope you get to open soon as we have all missed you. Our favourite place to sit, enjoy a coffee and something nice to eat. While they are closed though order afternoon tea, you won't be disappointed and you will help a little by supporting our local business. Thanks to everyone at Bernies... Hope you open soon

I had an hour to fill in while in Bridge of Weir. I went into Bernies for a coffee and a sandwich. Very friendly service, good coffee ( could have been hotter) excellent sandwich, beautifully served with side salad and the best coleslaw I have ever tasted. I strongly recommend a visit.

Went there with a deal we bought from Groupon for a full cooked breakfast with warm buttery toast and a mug of tea. Absolutely delicious and not swimming in fat. The Stornaway Black Pudding was the best and you have a choice of how you like your eggs. I chose poached and again absolutely perfect. Attentive staff on a laid back environment.

We came here for the big Scottish breakfast. It was very good with all the bits that made it Scottish present and correct. My egg was poached perfectly and none of the food was greasy. We also found out that they do an afternoon tea for £9.95 Must try that. We will be back.

Had a lovely lunch at Bernies. I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and my daughter who can be quite fussy had a hot cajun chicken wrap both served with salad and coleslaw. Attentive staff and quick service. We will definitely be back.

Had a fab late lunch today at Bernies, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Everything on the plate was lovely I had a croque monsieur didn’t need dinner I am so full. Will definitely be back- the cakes look lovely.

Had a lovely afternoon tea at Bernies, everything was fresh and tasted good. Scones and empire biscuit was the highlight for me but I’d maybe prefer more sandwiches, maybe just another two with a chicken filling perhaps. But over all lovely day and great friendly staff.

Was told that they could not guarantee the soup was vegan. Surely it's just a yes or no, would feel happier if staff knew what they were selling/serving. I felt very uncomfortable as this was discussed in front of me by a few members of staff as if I wasn't there. Very dismissive attitude. Very unprofessional.

This cafe does the best high tea, well presented and very tasty. Staff helpful and the cafe is nice and clean. Looking around the food on offer looks good. We could not finish the food as the portion was so large.

Have been twice in the last month and both times my order has been wrong.very poor. Also service does not come with a smile...all in all very disappointed.

We recently visited for afternoon tea and were very pleased with the quality of the sandwiches which were nice and fresh and the quality of the cakes. We will definitely be back.

Went along to Bernies for Christmas Dinner on the 6th December. What can I say.... I expected the food to be good because their food is always good, but it was fabulous. After dinner they had organised a band who were great and the atmosphere was lovely. Altogether a wonderful evening, would highly recommend it and will look forward to next year.

Recently had afternoon tea here with friends, and we all agreed that it was very enjoyable. Sandwiches were nice and fresh, scones with jam & cream were delicious, and cakes were very nice too. I think we may very well be back!

Food always superb. Staff very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. Can't wait to visit again. Great evening venue for private parties.

Just been for lunch with friends who are travelling through Scotland. What a lovely cafe, the food was fantastic and great choice at reasonable prices. My friends had been in many cafes during their trip but said this was definitely one of the best for choice and value for money. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Our afternoon tea was O.K. but nothing to write home about. Not many sandwiches and I have had better cakes, What really put me off was the strong smell of damp in the restaurant. Service was also just O.K. our food came promptly, but the staff didn't seem happy. Not a pleasant experience.

Our party of 4 adults, a 4 year old and a toddler went for Saturday brunch today at 10.30am. We used to go a lot but hadn’t been for months. I'm afraid we had a poor experience this time, for several reasons.

Can’t think of a better way to start the day- breakfast was fab and the staff were friendly, helpful and very efficient.

I have been to Bernie’s several times but hadn’t been for a while. I couldn’t believe the service- the lady didn’t smile once! My order also came out wrong which wasn’t ideal. Normally the food is very nice but was not impressed with my last visit.

We had our lunch at the cafe. In addition to sandwiches, ciabattas, they make very good coffee and their cakes are fantastic. Service was good

The breakfast was delicious well cooked and well presented. The service was very good and the prices were worth it. There were a number of delicious cakes available.

Stopped for quick coffee and cake. Coffee/tea ok however cakes were poor quality. My husband had carrot cake and I had gluten free lemon and coconut cake - both were very dry as though they had been sitting out for a number of days. The surroundings were pleasant enough and the experience could have been so much better if the produce was fresher.

To say farewell to a colleague we had a large lunch at Bernie's. We phoned earlier in the week and booked a table for 8 for lunch. That morning we ordered in advance our various requirements and they were waiting for us on our arrival. The staff were quick and attentive then left us to munch. A great light meal. We'll be back!

Always make good coffee sit in or take away and nice friendly staff!!Seating outside and set back from road which can be busy but good for people watching.

Went in just for a coffee, ended up with a light lunch and cake selection too and all very delicious!

Excellent service. Very family friendly atmosphere. The food is superb and the home baking is to die for. I would definitely recommend to others.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast was so fresh and tasty the black pudding was to die for place was clean prices were good and quality of food was excellent also great choices to suit all I was served by julie who was very helpful in helping my indecisive hubby she was well informed of all the menus etc and gave us excellent customer service will most definatly be back this is the hidden gem of bridge of weir if you havent already been then go you wont regret it !!!

I've been to Bernies a few times and always enjoyed it. Recently had the afternoon tea which was really good and excellent value for money. And the cakes were delicious! Would recommend Bernies and definitely be back.

Appeared at around 3.30pm on Saturday. Greeted by waitress who looks at her watch and asks what menu we want. Explain we are in for coffee and cakes, she vaguely waves to a table then wanders away. Younger waitress takes order, she is perfectly courteous. I can hear first waitress being very snippy with other customers. Had the overwhelming feeling she wanted to shout "It's nearly home time. Get out!" You go for cake and coffee as a treat not to be made feel like a nuisance. It has out me off going back in. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Had a very enjoyable lunch here last week, our grandson loved his smoothie and soup/sandwich combo and we enjoyed our sandwiches and coffee. Nice relaxed venue with good staff and lots of books, toys and crayons to keep kiddies entertained. A little pricier than we were expecting though and didn't get any form of receipt so not at all sure what anything cost as we didn't order from a menu as such, just asked for the food listed above....

Good friendly meeting point in village with a wide choice of food teas and coffees. Anything from fresh scones to a nice snack. Worth a stop over if you travelling on the cycle track.

Nice place with a good snack selection and nice baking. Atmosphere is good and a nice variety of couches and tables. There is an outside area which would bepleasant in the summer months. Popular with cyclists as the cycle track is nearby.

I’ve been here twice now and the food and service has been lovely, a nice cozy place to sit On a comfy sofa and read the paper or sit at a table and have lunch/dinner has WiFi ... when I was there I had the macaroni cheese and it was delicious mum had lasagne she didn’t complain either there were specials on the board but we ordered from the menu I went back with my daughter a few days later and I can see us being a bit of a regular the cake selection is excellent and hard to resist we ended up taking away some as we were so full. It seems popular for take away as well. I’ll deffo be back for a morning fry up next it looks amazing . I also noticed that it has outside seating and tables which will be lovely in the better weather. The menu looked great I Intend to try it all

Stopped for a fabulous lunch and where made most welcome by Pamela and William and all the staff, can't wait to visit soon food is amazing.

I had a fantastic 50th birthday party at Bernies. The party took place on a Saturday night and we had the whole venue to ourselves. Pamela and the staff were wonderful to work with before the event. The food and wine supplied were high quality, the atmosphere was perfect - low lights, candles on tables etc. They have speakers so we were able to play music of our choice throughout the evening. The layout was perfect, comfortable intimate sofas plus dining tables for guests who prefer to sit at a table and eat. I couldn't recommend them enough, very very happy with my evening. Thank you!

I love going to this cafe with friends. The food is great, homemade with a good selection, and very reasonably priced. The cakes are lovely too. Nice relaxing atmosphere, service is always excellent and made to feel welcome.

People who give this a high rating may have low standards as this cafe is not terrific. The eggs poached eggs on the eggs benedict taste very strongly of vinegar - quite unnecessary when poaching eggs. It completely kills the taste of everything else....and the sauce wasn’t very nice either. The service was very slow and the staff we met were a bit ‘take it or leave it’ - a definite attitude was evident. Baked goods, although a lot of choices, were below what you would hope for when looking at their ‘just home baked’ presentation. Won’t be back.

Nice little place, very friendly staff, with nice atmosphere,food was to die for, roll on next trip to the village in March..!!

Lovely fresh cooked breakfast, pleasant staff, nice setting, poached eggs were perfect, will use again, well done

Nice coffee and cakes at reasonable prices with a couple of tables outside for al fresco eating. Friendly service and nice decor.

Visited here for lunch recently and enjoyed the visit. Lots to choose from off the menu, food is lovely and a warm friendly service. I had the macaroni cheese - best I’ve tasted!

Had an hour to burn and popped in for a brunch. A fantastic menu that appealed to my sweet tooth. Had pancakes with nutella and syrup with real bacon giving it the edge over the US crispy stuff equivalent. Coffee was also lovely and read the complimentary paper. Highly recommended.

I've eaten here loads of times and not had any issues. However. I've visited twice in the last couple of weeks, both times ordering Eggs Benedict and both times having to send it back. How hard is it to get a poached egg right? Both times this resulted in me eating alone instead of first with family then with friends. Second time I opted for pate instead of waiting yet again for raw or hard eggs in the hope that my friend wouldn't have finished her lunch before I got mine! Didn't work out.

Dropped in for lunch pleasantly surprised never been before . Food and service was quick and food was served in a short time . Food was tasty and good size portions - burger with black pudding and chorizo was good, my wife had a the hole hog which was served in brown bread and was a large portion and for a little extra you can have soup as well . Prices reasonable and what you expect anywhere these days . Would visit again .

Great sell out night at Bernie's on Saturday. Food was delicious thanks to chef Yvonne. Really enjoyed the starter of hot smoked salmon with new potato salad with a quails egg on top and the delicious venison for main. A rep from woodwinters wine talked us through each of the wines accompanying the different courses which was interesting. All of this for £35 per head.

Once again we have returned, this time it was our wedding anniversary apparently. Anyway brilliant as ever. The highly ginger owner is providing the waiting service whilst I think its his missus producing the top quality food...and it is quality. That's all you need to know, very well priced quality. Once again I will be back.

Stopped here today while staying in bridge of Weir. Had two coffees and a “ square sausage “ bap. Delicious and well worth a return.

Me and a friend have met up for breakfast on a few occasions now and have never had a bad experiance. good food and lovely staff.

My daughter wanted to treat me for breakfast and as had visited Bernie's with friends previously she said I would like it. I was not disappointed, lovely friendly atmosphere, comfy sofas and an extensive breakfast menu. Very busy café and I'm not surprised....I will be back.

Popped in to Bernie's for the first time in a while, a couple of soups, tea and coffee, service was fast and friendly, soup was lovely and it's really nice to find a cafe that serves great coffee, hats off to Marc, Karen, the kitchen staff (Yvonne) and all the front of house staff, highly recommended

went here for coffee and a roll and sausage. table service no comlaints friendly staff nice warming decor

Went here today with my mum and 90 year old mother-in-law and was delighted with everything.

Had lunch. We had to send soup back ad it was luke warm. Another table after us also sent it back. Basic "cheap" batch supermarket style bread given with soup & also on sandwiches (costing £6-£7 per sandwich ). I would expect better and more at this cost.

Bernies is the perfect venue for celebrating with family and friends. They catered for 30 of my friends and family for my son's 18th birthday and provided a fabulous two course dinner with chocolate fudge cake (on request from the birthday boy) to follow. The staff are friendly and obliging and the surroundings warm with an intimate feel. I will be using this venue again and again! Highly recommended. Thank you Marc and staff for a wonderful night and I look forward to the next

I didn't know Bernie's held private functions so I took a gamble and it definitely paid off! If you're looking for a venue to host a party with a great atmosphere, reasonably priced bar and delicious food then this is the place to book. Marc and his team did a great job looking after us and nothing was too much bother. I think it can hold approximately 70 people, we had 60 and it was just the right size. The seating/bar area was nicely lit and at the back of the room we had the dj and there was plenty of room to dance. Will be definitely book again when hosting another party!

Stopped into Bernie’s cafe this afternoon with my wife, daughter and new grandson. We ordered soup and sandwiches for two...

Recommended to us by a local who advised it was better value than a local competitor. After reading the Trip...

My wife and I were recently out this way for the first time, having our wedding flowers framed. We were recommended to try Bernie’s for a coffee.

We've used Bernies now many times, friendly, clean and tasty food. My only slight criticism would be that sometimes it's too busy! Well worth a visit.

Been here several times and always friendly staff and good food. I've got to recommend in particular the breakfast and the eggs Benedict. Lovely!

3 course, every one better than the last. Thanks to Mark and the team for the hospitality, we will be back many more times!!

Had lunch on 18/8/17 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was great and food was beautiful. I had the baked potato with tuna mayo and my sis had club sandwich and both cleaned the plate :) Will be back again!!

Always welcome here, even if your just popping in for a pot of tea , Staff are lovely especially Lauren who always seems to be smiling and recommends items on menu

Husband and I had a fabulous meal at bistro night on Saturday and will definitely visit again, staff very friendly and attentive and even managed to get a lift home from the owner thanks marc
