Birkmyre Cafe in Inverclyde

Avoid. Prices are more expensive than the cafes in the village. Do not know how to make a flat white coffee either. £3 for a T bag !

Great cafe for breakfast lunch or tea with wonderful home baked cakes. Friendly staff who are only to happy to go out of their way for you. Lovely location looking over the park.

Surprised its still operating the covid window ordering. Very impersonal service. I don’t think the staff like their job, dour faces avg food.

This is a lovely option for brunch or lunch, with a great choice of freshly made food. It’s become a regular choice as not only is the food really great and made to order, but the staff are lovely. It’s nice to go somewhere where the staff quickly recognise you and remember your preferences (even if you aren’t there every day). On a sunny afternoon it’s lovely to get takeout and sit in the park for a sweet treat. The lunchtime options are great, with breakfast, snack and sandwiches as well as burgers etc. You also have a wonderful selection of biscuits and cakes that are all made by the staff. They also have a selection of allergy options for those with dietary restrictions. And portions are a really good size without being too big. There are several exterior tables for outdoor dining and even more people come to the window for takeout. In fact, the main drawback is that it is so busy that you sometimes struggle to get a table inside. If there are sports groups training in the adjacent playing fields, it can get quite busy with hungry rugby players and their parents crowding at the takeout window (although that just shows how good it is). Just wish it didn’t stop serving so early in the afternoon.

Just been for an afternoon tea and it was fantastic, food and service were first rate and we will definitely be back for more, the best afternoon tea we have ever had and we have had a few.

It takes a lot for me to lose my patience when it comes to customer service, however consistently I have a long wait for a simple coffee or a simple mocha, why does it take at least 15 mins to make a mocha when the restaurant sit in area is not busy and outside is not busy, previously Iv been for a cup of soup and waited 20 mins, I always give them the benefit of the doubt however my mocha was disgusting today, no taste of hot chocolate and bitter coffee which after all that wait led me to this review, people need to be aware it’s not always as perfect as the other reviews suggest.

Lovely atmosphere. Lovely staff. Delicious home baking. Little heard to find the entrance (at the back of the building) and it's right beside the playpark and there is a gym on the other side of the building!

My wife and I booked afternoon tea here for takeaway while on holiday what a fantastic place great sandwich and filling lovely cakes an scones presented in a lovely tray box hopefully we will be in area again an be able too return!

The service was awful, the waitress surly and unhelpful, my grandsons beef burger was inedible as was most of the food. Even the bakery was very poor.

The good lady surprised me with a delivery of afternoon tea yesterday. Great selection of tasty grub and as always strawberry tarts were out of this world. Thoroughly recommend.

This is a great cafe for kids when you are at the play park and want an ice cream treat or a wee sandwich. The bathroom is clean as well. I’ve had very good toasted croissant sandwiches here! And can always get a nice fizzy water and again, NARDINI’s ICE CREAM!!! Don’t really need to say more! They are overall pretty friendly as well!

Just had my afternoon tea surprise delevered it was delicious so fresh and lovely variety of cakes. Thank you to your team in these strange times. I will visit cafe when safe to do so.

Really lovely cakes and friendly service, the setting inside feels a bit cramped but super venue in the summer when the outside seats are available. Good value breakfast menu.

A lovely little place for a peaceful bite to eat. Always so welcoming and friendly, with a great menu for lunch or coffee and a snack. And they do the most wonderful shortbread.

Great cafe with friendly staff ,especially for that early morning coffee . It is always service with a smile and the owner always provides that personnel touch to make you feel welcome .

I have visited this cafe for lunch a few times and each time the soup on offer has not been suitable for vegetarians. This can't be coincidence - if they are only serving one soup, why not make it suitable for anyone to eat i.e. no meat or meat stock? Very disappointing. I had the panini which was slightly too oily. Felt cost was high for size of portions. Service friendly though.

Attended the Kilmacolm 10K. Food was on sale outside and the cheese burger and onions was a welcome delight after the race. Tasted lovely. Service with a smile!

All is to be recommended especially the almond slice ! Food beautifully prepared and presented with warm and welcoming service. A joy to sit outside overlooking the park on a warm day. Cafe itself can be noisy when busy as no soft furnishings for sound...

Every time I visit myself and my family are always well looked after. Soup is always so tasty portion size is huge so always leave full and satisfied. Alessias home baking is to die for. Such good value for money.

I love this cafe I regularly visit this cafe for their delicious home baking and their caramel lattes. I especially love their freshly made pancakes and Nutella. The staff are so friendly and the cafe is always spotless always looking forward for my next visit.

We were visiting the park and popped in for coffee and icecream, great, ee will be back. Does small snscks as well as panninis and stuff. Great coffee.

Myself and my son , had a fantastic lunch here . Very reasonably priced and the portions were great . Very friendly attentive staff for whom, nothing was too much trouble . My scrambled egg and smoked salmon was delicious , as was the chai...

We often visit for coffee and cake. The staff are lovely and give great service. If the weather's good there is the option of sitting outside. There is a wide variety of cakes and traybakes as well as breakfast and lunch menus. I thoroughly recommend...

Recently needed a venue for a quick meeting . Cafe Staff with very short notice provided a reserved suitable table and provided excellent coffee and home baking . Friendly staff ,

Lovely strong italian coffee and home baking to die for. Recommend the florentines and empire biscuits. Great to sit outside weather allowing.

I have my breakfast here twice a month while my son does his rugby training. The food is fantastic, freshly cooked and plenty of it. The staff are lovely as well.

This is a lovely place to relax and have a coffee and scone. Sitting outside on a sunny day with family and friends in a park environment is a pleasure. Good for kids to play in park or playground.

Its always a pleasure to visit here whether it’s for the delicious ice cream or something more substantial. It’s a wee Italian gem in the village. Friendly staff and spotlessly clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. Hearty beef broth followed by a bacon and brie pannini. My husband loved his desert. We will definitely eat here again.

i only really go here in the summer for ice cream but when i do get ice cream it is often very good.

A very popular café in Birkmyre Park. It is always busy, and can be difficult to get a table sometimes as quite small inside. They serve great food and delicious cakes at reasonable prices + Nardini's ice cream. Sign at the side of the counter...

A half hour drive to get here as Trip Advisor said open till 5 but it shuts at 4. Really not very helpful when businesses don’t bother to check the information about them is correct !! Now off oooking for somewhere else.

Always a pleasure to visit this coffee shop. Friendly staff and lovely food, with delicious home baking.

My husband and I regularly visit the Birkmyre Cafe whether it be for coffee or lunch. Alessia and her staff are always so welcoming. Food is excellent and plentiful. A lovely place to visit!

Cuddled next door to the Birkmyre Gym is the café. Very unassuming. Step inside and have a gander at the menu. After a 8 week gap from carbs, we ordered a full Scottish breakfast. Coffee and a side portion of toast was with us in...

Staff always friendly, welcoming and efficient. A real home made coffee, don't need any pictures on top of my coffee and shortbread to die for. Surroundings to be experienced to be believed.

Small.friendly cafe with attentive staff and pleasant views looking out to the park menu not large but good

Visited here with cycling friends. The staff were so helpful right from the start, serving a large group of us quickly and efficiently. Great food, great coffee and plenty of choice; everyone very happy! Definitely be back.

Dropped in for coffee and scones as this place was recommended by a friend. We were definitely not disappointed. Pleasant staff and the cafe is immaculate. We tried one of the homemade scones, which was toasted, and absolutely delicious. They even made my coffee to...

They have a sticker in the window stating "Trip Advisor Recommended", and I agree. This is a small, friendly café. They have about 22 seats indoors, and about 20 outdoors for those hardy/foolhardy enough to dine alfresco in Kilmacolm. For a small café, they provide...

We have made this cafe a definite place to visit each time we come to Kilmacolm. We enjoy good food and often see old friends for a chat in pleasant surroundings, served by pleasant staff.

Always friendly, good quality typical cafe type fare, soups and sandwiches, breakfasts, good coffees, always consistent

This cafe is attached to the Birkmyre gym. It has a pleasant ambience in an attractive park setting. The food, meals and snacks are uniformly very good: the coffee is far superior to what you might expect in a modest cafe. Try the fresh scones...

Great little café with really pleasant staff. Food and coffee is awesome. Love coming here after a long walk

Popped in during a Sunday afternoon walk. Cake nice enough but waitress surly and surrounded by dirty tables. Disappointing.

Lovely mushroom soup and chicken mayo panini. Great service and made to feel very welcome. Worth visiting. Lovely baking too!!

Mostly great,but sometimes the staff is too busy to remember what I ordered for after the meal. The venue is in the Birkmyre park,Kilmacolm in the Renfrewshire foothills. A beautiful setting with many walks and cafes.

Love this place. Home made cakes are amazing. Coffees and hot chocolates lovely. Situated right beside a gated play park and huge open green space, so perfect for little ones. They also have a few toys, high chairs and booster seats.

We were visiting a friend and out for a walk when we came to this small cafe/dinner on the edge of a park. It was around lunchtime but the breakfast was still available plus a selection of light lunch items eg soup and a panini,...

Great wee cafe. Excellent food and choice. Home made soup exceptional as is the home baking. Outdoor seating in the summer overlooking the park. It may be small, but the food is big in flavour, the coffee great in taste, and the staff very attentive....

Fantastic food, warm welcome and the best Xmas decorations ever. Home made soup was as good as my Grans.

The food is great and the staff are lovely. And the home baking is to die for. I would recommend this wee cafe to everyone. Such a nice place in the summertime to. I've often sat outside with lunch.

One of my favourite places to go for breakfast and their soup is also great! The cafe is clean with nice decor and the staff are very friendly. Will definitely be back!

I have eaten here on a few occasions.The staff are very courteous,attentive & service is quick.The food is excellent with quite a large menu so there is plenty of choice.Breakfast menu is outstanding especially the pancakes.Child friendly,milkshakes & icecream go down a treat..Outdoor seating in...

Have visited the cafe on several occasions and always find a reason to go back, the staff are friendly and the food speaks for itself. Definitely worth visiting!

This cafe is brilliant all year round. Staff are very friendly. Food is always fantastic. Lovely in the summer as you can sit outside and lovely and cosy in the winter! Menu is great and loads to choice from. Child friendly too. 5 stars

Had lunch there with a friend recently. Cafe is very nice with friendly service. Food good however I have been there twice recently and on both occasions the soup was not suitable for vegatarians which is disappointing as I would have chosen this option. Also...

Had a nice lunch - just soup and bread followed by coffee and cakes. Good service and lovely food. This out of the way place is often mistakenly overlooked!

Interesting little cafe overlooking Birkmyre Park in Kilmacolm . Good meeting place for locals grannies with grandchildren , walking clubs , parents waiting on kids after games all sorts of local clubs IE rugby games sat and Sunday .. Non complicated menu good breakfast and...

Visited the Birkmyre Cafe today, first time have been in. Buzzing atmosphere - busy with customers all enjoying the excellent food on offer. First - tea - served nice and hot with tea bag on top of cup so please yourself just how you like...

Lovely ice cream here with good choice of flavours. Great setting on the park with outdoor tables when these shines. The coffee is excellent and they also have a great selection of home baking. I would not class this cafe as a restaurant. Well worth...

Had breakfast and coffee followed by the most delicious ice cream ( Nardini's). Outdoor seating area looks over a beautiful tree lined park. A great place for a relaxed enjoyable breakfast. Service was good also.

Visited today, wonderful friendly service, I found the staff to be friendly and efficient as I have on my many previous visits. The selection of food is wonderful and the coffee is the best. Definitely will be back again soon. Relaxed and friendly cafe 😀

This cafe is relaxing and the breakfast is awesome. It's hard to get a table outside in the nice weather but that is compliments to the good coffee. Staff are not that attentive in my recent visits.. Often tables needing cleared and staff just not...

The Birkmyre Café is a regular for us when we're out a walk. We normally stop here for a coffee and a bite to eat. The food and service is top notch. Its location is fantastic, it has a park outside to keep the kids...

Friendly staff, great food, fantastic latte. Great place to unwind and relax after a hard gym session.

This cafe is well away from the main part of the village and is probably forgotten by most people in the village who are not in this area for recreational purposes. We had a lovely breakfast here and no complaints about quality, quantity or service....

Lovely coffee cakes and good food served. Very helpful team working there. Great fior children of all ages. Good selection of icecream and drinks.

My friends and I are frequent visitors to this delightful cafe. The location is superb, placed right in the centre of a park it's a lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon eating one of their amazing ice creams. The staff are very friendly and...

My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the Birkmyre Café today. The menu was very varied and reasonably priced. The welcome was warm and the service was excellent. I will return and will recommend the café to my friends and family.

Situated beside the green in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm this small cafe offers excellent food at good prices. Great ambience and location. Staff friendly and helpful. Car parking free. Not to be missed. You will return regularly.

Was recommended Birkmyre Cafe by friends who live in Kilmacolm and have been back several times now and have never been disappointed. A truly lovely little place with such welcoming staff who really can't do enough for you who serve great food and ample portions....

It's become a regular meeting spot for coffee with my friends. The staff are very friendly, the coffee is lovely with a little extra piece of shortbread or small treat on the side - lovely attention to detail! When the weather is sunny, there is...

I felt compelled to write this review after visiting the Birkmyre whilst travelling through the area. From the moment I walked in I was made to feel welcome,the waitress was ever so cheery and nice,it felt genuine and not as if she was just going...

The Birkmyre has gone from strength and now has genuine claims to be one of the very best paces for coffee and snacks in the Kilmacolm. Consistently excellent food with tea/coffee etc is served by delightful staff who are genuinely anxious to please. There is...

Food very reasonably priced, good quality and served quickly. Nice to have a place near the park and is popular with young and old. My only downside is that when busy it is very noisy - especially the kitchen when using the coffee machine. Tend...
