Brew Ha Ha in Dumfries & Galloway

Awesome breakfast - so much choice - perfectly cooked ! Can’t recommend highly enough Cakes fresh and plentiful Lush coffee Will defo return when back in the area

This is our favourite little place to eat in Newton Stewart and we always visit when we're in town. The staff are always super friendly and attentive, there is always a lovely atmosphere, and most of all of course, the food is always top notch. There is a great core selection of breakfasts, light lunches and main meals, and specials too. We've always been delighted with the service and quality here, which is why we keep coming back. Highly recommended! (And if you are full you can get cakes to takeaway for later!).

What a lovely find! Did trip idvisor to find the top few cafes and this one wasn't listed! As always there are others listed first for some weird reason. Anyway, we walked through the town and saw Brew Ha Ha, shich straight away looked lovely, so, we went and got cash out (cash is king!) and headed there... Locals visiting and also very friendly welcome to us on our first visit, we will definitely inspire us to go again. Very clean, lovely welcoming decor, great service, beaut breakfast sandwiches 🥪 😋 very good coffee ☕️ the flat white was so good, not only hot but great to get a good sized one too! We took away cakes for later on which were delicious 😋 We'll most definitely visit again when in the area! and, will recommend to our friends who often visit round here too. Looks like there's a great outdoor seated area too for decent days 😀

Marvellous food, marvellous staff, marvellous prices, marvellous venue. A must see on your visit to Newton Stewart. Very clean and hospitable.

Lovely Fish and Chips, perfectly cooked, choice of garden or mushy peas and tasty tartare sauce. The Staff are very friendly, we bought 2 cake to take home, delicious.

This is a warm, friendly place for a pleasant lunch, snack or just a coffee. We were wet and cold and just wanted something comforting, so both opted for a haggis and cheese panini and a coffee. There were some really tempting looking items on the specials board, especially the haggis-loaded fries. I wish we had been hungry enough to partake. They have an amazing array of cakes too. Friendly staff who checked we were satisfied with our order. I would happily call again when next in Newton Stewart.

A cold November day & we are house hunting. It is about the area as much as the home, so we called in at a small cafe on the local high street. Just looks like your average cafe. Except we tried soup, homemade & very tasty - we tried both soups on offer, & then the coffee & obviously a small piece of cake. These guys deal with all variety of customers some of whom are elderly (OK so we admir to not being even in the second flush of youth ourselves) The staff keep an eye on their patrons, nothing is too much trouble. They know their onions. What is in every product - without some crib sheet! The soup was piping hot as was the coffee - nothing to fault anywhere - except we did not have chance to experience the whole menu. If we move anywhere near, we will be forced into a much more active lifestyle - just to justify enjoying all Brew Ha Ha’s wares! The staff work very hard, are communicative & caring. Their food & refreshing drinks are of a high standard. We felt welcomed & we look forward to our next visit.

It never ceases to amaze me A: How low a standard some people are willing to accept. B: The price some people are willing to pay for awful food. C: After being charged for awful food at extortionate prices they don't complain. Brew Ha Ha, obviously, get their name because after you've had your brew etc. they laugh their cocks off all the way to the bank. What an s-h-one-t hole. After perusing the very badly formatted, extremely expensive menu the only reason we stayed was because our 85 year old father was flagging and needed sustenance from, what seemed, the only sit down cafe left on the high street. Big mistake and very disappointing as the food was inedible and was left, the £3.50 latte I don't think had ever seen a coffee bean, the hot chocolate was ver6 weak and mainly froth and on paying, when informed of our dissatisfaction, the young waiter merely said "sorry you didn't enjoy it" and proceeded to serve the next unsuspecting customer . Absolutely diabolical. DO NOT EAT/DRINK HERE unless you have a high bank balance and very, very low expectations/standards, in which case you deserve each other.

Such a great little place to have lovely food. Would really recommend if you want food at great prices.

This is a Great little cafe, our first visit today the food was really good , the service was great will definitely be coming again!

Brilliant, very tasty, full vegetarian breakfast. Mushrooms, egg, sausage, tattie scone, haggis, toast and tea. One of the best breakfast I’ve eaten. The rest of the food looks very nice as well.

Looking for lunch and came across Brew Ha Ha and their 'secret garden' out the back. Staff were polite, prompt and eager to please. Sitting in the garden with nice weather was very pleasurable coupled with excellent food servings....the 2 x adults had toasties & coffee while the 10 yr old granddaughter had a burger. Our wee dog got nothing at that time! We shared a laugh with the fella (owner?) serving as the small one had ordered an empire biscuit with a 'pink' jelly tot but the one served had a 'green' jelly tot!!! The 10yr old piped up that she would be making a poor review due to this and, in jest, I relayed this information to the chap who took it marvellously and returned with a few pink jelly tots after offering to change the biscuit. All good fun and thanks for that little extra dialogue....it goes a long way. Would recommend without hesitation.

A great find this place turned out to be. Whether for breakfast or coffee and a cake the standard of the food was excellent and the service was warm and welcoming. They have a nice garden area out side at the rear of the building but the good old Scottish weather stopped us trying that out. Great coffee and excellent home made cakes.

On our way home, from a week's stay in Wigtown, we wanted somewhere for breakfast. After reading the many excellent reviews we visited here. We were not disappointed! The food was very tasty & the drinks were piping hot. I even bought a jar of their homemade lemon curd to take home & can say it has gone down a treat. Will definitely return next time we're up this way. 👍

This was a great little cafe. It is dog friendly. The food is reasonably priced and is good quality. The cakes are gorgeous. The staff are really nice.

An excellent menu for such a small cafe. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks were quickly served. We both really enjoyed our lunch and of we're ever in this area again, would definitely visit again.

This small cafe, right on the high street, was clean, welcoming, had great coffee and cakes. It did other food too but we did not sample that. Very happy to have dogs.

Brew Ha Ha has what I would call proper food, no messing around in portion sizes. Staff always friendly and accommodating. A lovely back garden for when the weather is appropriate. A must visit when in the area.

Went here twice for lunch over Easter weekend - busy both days so you may need to book. There is a large garden area at the back with extra seating but the weather wasn't warm enough so everyone was sitting inside. We chose this place because of other reviews, and they were right. It's a friendly wee place, welcomes dogs and has quite an extensive menu. Mainly plain cafe food but done pretty well. Lots of very good baking as well which we sampled. We had a range of things: home-made soup, chilli, panini, chicken burger, hot chocolate, cakes aplenty. All served piping hot (not the cakes) and freshly prepared. Really good little place.

Just had little fuss Breakfast food was delicious First class service friendly staff will be back soon

We stayed nearby last September as a family of 6 and we turned up for breakfast. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating if they tried particularly as we all made slight changes to the menu choices. We all agreed it was one of the best breakfasts we had ever had .....so good we all rocked up next morning for another one.I cannot recommend them enough if you are staying in the area you must visit !

Fantastic staff,superb food.Cant wait for it to be open again,really missed this place during lockdown.

This is a small cafe on the main street in Newton Stewart. Despite the size they had managed to squeeze screens inbetween the tables and it was nice and clean. The welcome was friendly and I enjoyed my brownie for breakfast. The prices were good as well.

Fabulous food.... great service.... cosy ... would 100% recommend .... going for breakfast again tomorrow 👍

Very nice breakfast, offered substitutions for items I didn’t want very customer orientated. Would return to try out the secret garden

Well worth the wait for a table. Great, friendly service. Really nice, fresh food. Soup was very hot, just how we like it. And fresh cream strawberry tarts yum 😋

Seen the trip advisor sign of excellence in window so thought that's usually a good sign.we were going to sit in but didn't feel it was socially distanced ,so decided on take away , wish we hadn't bothered , husband ordered a latte and a ham and mustard panini, latte didn't even taste as if there was any coffee in it and the panini had a whole lot of wholegrain mustard a one very thin slice of ham .Would give it a miss

This had become our regular haunt before Covid, and continues to be the place we choose for lunch and afternoon cakes. They follow all the Covid rules and we love we can book a table, and feel safe in the environment they have set up.The food is amazing - fresh, tasty and plentiful - and the staff are always so friendly, professional and welcoming.I’ve recommended Brew Ha Ha to many people who come to Newton Stewart, it’s well worth stopping in!

Had breakfast with a friend this morning. Both had a small fry up. Only table remaining was in the garden,, perfect. Food was great. Service was beyond reproach. My first time here, but neighbours recommended it. Would definitely recommend.

The flat white coffees were very good, as were the scones (with four choices of jam). Would revisit.

Just had lunch at Brew Ha Ha in Newton Stewart, whilst holidaying in Kirkcusbright. Lovely food, friendly, welcoming staff, would definitely recommend a visit

Three of us visited for an early lunch on Sunday. Varied menu, all homemade! The selection of cakes was impressive!We had the quiche (cheese & onion) of the day with plenty of salad and a good portion of chips which was delicious. Freshly made sandwiches, again with a generous salad and crisps on the side.Carrot cake and fresh coffee to finish. All in all; very good value for money!

Lunch after walking down from Conifer Lodges. Really great choice and delicious food. We loved the Malteser slices. Very friendly.

What a great little place, for coffee and lunch. All the cakes looked fab and reasonably priced, but we opted for BBQ chicken Nachos to share. They were gorgeous and plenty to share. The other food we saw coming out looked fresh and plentiful.They were very organised with regard to the Covid 19 regs. Would definately return to sample those cakes.

Secret garden was great, staff friendly and food amazing, plenty ppe and signage felt very safe ❤️ had gazebos over the tables so good for the shower we had when we were there would highly recommend

First trip out of Stranraer for three months, we stopped at Brew Ha Ha for coffee and some lunch. We were very impressed with the signage and staff’s PPE for Covid 19, well done we felt very safe.We had coffee, hot chocolate, quiche and a haggis toastie, all were very good.Would have went to the secret garden but didn’t know if dogs were allowed.

Lovely, dog friendly, Covid compliant cafe! Had a lovely lunch today and staff were very friendly- highly recommended!

We called in here for a morning snack. I chose poached egg and spinach on toast which was lovely. The egg was perfectly poached. My partner had a cake and we both had coffee which were good. We noticed an extensive breakfast menu and the meals other diners were ordering looked good. Service was efficient and friendly. Prices were very reasonable.

This has become a favourite little place of mine , lovely cakes,scones and drinks , girls very friendly and hard working.

Visited again whilst staying at Conifer Lodges. The breakfasts are excellent quality and value with refillable coffees and teas.

Was driving across from Ayr, when we came upon this wonderful little place. The parsnip and honey soup was excellent. Friendly and we'll worth a visit.

Called in today for lunch. As a vegetarian with an egg allergy, I usually struggle to find anything other than soup or variations of a cheese sandwich especially in a small town like Newton Stewart. I was pleasantly surprised to see a meat free burger on the menu and ordered it expecting the usual bland fare brought in from the freezer of the local supermarket. Quite the opposite! It was the best veggie burger I have ever tasted ; home made and full of flavour with a delicious vegan mayo sauce. The coffee was really lovely too.Thank you so much Brew Ha Ha.

Lovely homemade soups! We always enjoy their soups, jacket potatoes and strawberry tarts. We always order pudding straight away! as they

Stayed in a local bed only castle for 2 nights in September. Went to this cafe for breakfast both mornings. Food was delicious, freshly cooked and well presented. Extra jam/ tea was no problem. Frequented by locals, so very friendly.

Popped in for a coffee and snack around lunchtime in mid October. Quite a popular little cafe, very friendly staff.Due to wet weather we sat inside, our dog was also welcomed. Really tasty coffee and delicious cheese scones which had real cheese flavour and were exceptionally fresh. Would recommend. The cake selection looked yummy too ..... next time perhaps!!

Amazing coffee Amazing cakesAmazing foodWhat's more to say....Always busy. Which says alot to me, good service, nice food, in summer it's nice to be able to go to the secret garden with the kids. You must try the hazelnut tarts... to die for I believe dogs are welcome here, a question I am asked alot as I work in local pet shop. "Where can I get coffee and take my dog?" I always say along the street in brew haha

Visited here for a quick coffee and cake mid morning. It did not disappoint! Lots of different cakes and coffee was lovely! Staff were also very friendly and helpful :)

My partner and I came across Brew Ha ha while out and about in out campervan and we really wanted a full hearty breakfast. We went for the regular breakfast of sausgaes , egg, tomtoes etc...and toast, with refill tea and coffee. We enjoyed it very much. Tasty, not greasy and hit the spot. The lady who served us was very much on the ball and very friendly. The cafe was clean and inviting. As where the toilets.

We enjoyed a nice cup of coffee in the delightful garden at the back of the cafe - a lovely peaceful spot just off the high street.

We had been camping and ventured into Newton Stewart on a Sunday morning for breakfast and couldn't find any place open. On the recommendation of a local we found Brew Ha Ha. Fantastic vegetarian breakfast cooked to perfection, presentation wonderful and served with a smile. Newspapers to read if you want, friendly staff. Well recommended.

Jumped in here for some lunch, we had soup, cheese toastie and a scone each.

Eaten here many a time and never been disappointed. Can have specials meals or standard ones. Also toasties and sandwiches are available. Cater for vegetarian and gluten free. Very friendly staff

I just wanted a light bite. I chose a sandwich and tomato and basil soup. Very nice. The staff were all young but knew what they were doing . They were all pleasant especially the young man behind the counter. I loved being able to sit outside in the garden on such a hot day.

Myself, husband and dog visited this little gem this morning, we were absolutely starving after camping near by and our morning walk.

Came here for breakfast, two full scottish and a serving of pancakes. All 3 of us enjoyed the food, it was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble.

I have been to Newton Stewart many times but this was the first visit to Brew Ha Ha. We had a late lunch, varied menu plus also a specials board where I had the broccoli soup that was delicious. We then had a baked potatoe and steak baguette which were extremely tasty. Gluten free options available, wide range of cakes, spotted a gluten free cake which took away for later and didn't disappoint either. Staff friendly and helpful plus there is a secret garden out the back, unfortunately the weather wasn't great the day we visited. Cosy, homely cafe.

Lots of competition in Newton Stewart. But I usually go here for breakfast. Friendly staff with good service.

Looks nothing from outside but lovely cakes and friendly service something for everyone and very reasonably priced

Stopped for lunch and was guided to the garden. Fast service. Decided on a soup and toastie. All delicious and the price was good too. Great coffee.

Popped in with few minutes to spare on last orders for breakfast as only served to 11:45 All I can say is I’m full now

Stopped in here so a spot of lunch with man n kids.. Must say was lovely macaroni cheese lots of flavour. Man's steak n oinion baguette was amazing too ate most of his. Sons chicken burgers looked lovely n tasty said he enjoyed it... All be back in area again in May defo be back again. Really nice customer service too lady was talkative. Thanks again

Been a few times now, new menu just started so tried the pulled chicken and gravy baguette, very tasty, just like all the other food I've had before. Friendly staff too, is always.

Lovely coffee shop with great cakes and lunches. Definitely worth a visit. The young man behind the counter was friendly and helpful and we'd go back for that reason as much as anything.

We'd been on the road for several hours with a dog and children. After ringing several "Dog friendly" cafes to no avail we found Brew Ha Ha. What wonderful service, we rang ahead and they had our table waiting for us. They knew we were rushing to catch the ferry and breakfast was served really quickly. The food was so tasty and they even had a bowl of water and a place set aside for our dog. AMAZING thoughtfulness. I will definitely remember Brew Ha Ha for our future trips to Stranraer. Thank you for such wonderful service today. I highly recommend Brew Ha Ha to anyone passing but especially any dog owners out there. Not always easy to travel with dogs.

Stopped here for teas and coffee while visiting the area. Staff were friendly, there was a good selection on the menu.

Proper cafe in the heart of town, really friendly and welcoming staff and Dog friendly too ! Visted twice on our way through newtown stewart after walking in the hills. Food was very good and resonably priced.

Stopped in this cafe for a quick breakfast during a cycle. Thought the small breakfast was a little expensive, but it was very well cooked - not greasy and tasty. Nice staff.

Cakes always fly out in the afternoon and the soup is very nice. Service can be a bit slow/forgetful but overall, it’s fine.

Is best when it's not raining and you can eat in the garden. The cafe can get very crowded. The breakfasts are good and good value.

Great service, great food, great vegetarian options, absolutely love this place! Oh and the cakes are dynamite!

Just visited as we were passing and fancied a breakfast. Glad we did. Excellent sausages and the haggis was great. The coffee was really good as well. Will certainly visit again.

We called in for a quick bite to eat and coffee. Very friendly staff with quick and efficient service. Good food and good value. Very clean. Well worth a visit.

We were so happy we stumbled upon this cafe! It's a little hidden away at the bottom of Newton Stewart's high street, but it is well worth seeking out! The young man who served us was very lovely and friendly, and made our experience especially wonderful. We had tea and cake and it was absolutely delicious; the only problem was that we struggled to choose between all the delightful-looking home-made cakes! We settled for chocolate brownies in the end, and didn't regret our decision one bit. They also had some tempting looking ice cream sundaes, and a lovely secret garden for a sunny day. The decor was very quirky and the atmosphere was lovely in this wonderful little cafe. The prices were very reasonable and the service was extremely efficient. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Visited here whilst on holiday for breakfast one morning and was not disappointed. The staff were welcoming polite and efficient. The restaurant was clean and well presented and the choice of food sufficient for a town centre cafe. As for the food, freshly cooked and ample.

It was getting nearer the end of the day and popped in for a cuppa and cake,we had a large pot of tea ,my partner had a very large fruit sundae, I had a very delicious chocolate cake,we paid for the food and drinks,and just as we were going the owner asked us if we would like some scones for free as it was the end of the day,he gave us 4 scones,the service was excellent with very polite staff

WE needed a slightly late light lunch en-route from a ferry to visit relations. They produced the most delicious quiche we had ever tasted. Comfortably busy with a nice atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon.

On main road/ only road in Newton Stewart - we were after 5pm but were not bothered about closing -so we all had tea and cake served by a very polite you man. Good service and nice food

This is the only Cafe open on Sunday in the centre of Newton Stewart. It is a bit small, so you must get in early. A good place for coffee or a snack.

I enjoyed the coffee here and the food is good. I had the burger which tasted good but hope to go back to try those tarts. Friendly staff as well.

We had a lunch there. Usual cafe menu which was well cooked. Staff attentive. Plenty of locals also ate there which is always a good sign

My husband is a coffee buff and even he was very impressed with it! Tempting savoury bites, but we had cakes which seemed home-made and were delicious. Nice little garden in the back, ideal for the unusual hot weather. Staff friendly, pleasant, and helpful.

Came every morning on my short holiday. Really friendly staff and who can ask for more than a tasty breakfast with someone else cooking. Will definitely revisit on my return.

This place is hands down the best place for lunch in Newton Stewart. Might not look much but the food is homemade and the staff are excellent.

Popped in as was passing through... Lovely tea and coffee.. Lovely cakes... Please to staff... Very clean facilities...

Excellent service, super coffee, well prepared veggie and meaty breakfasts, very reasonably priced, a real treat.

Delicious ice cream sundaes, and fantastic hot chocolates.. my sons favourite cafe in Newton Stewart. We have never been disappointed with the service or food.

We came initially for a late lunch to this dog friendly place before going on a hike around the area and had a lovely meal followed by giving into the temptations we were facing as we sat with full view of the cake bar...

Easily the best place for lunch or coffee/ cake in Newton Stewart. Burgers were good value , moist and came with a good portion of onion rings and chips. Well presented food. The chilli con carne was fantastic too. Small menu but well done. Nice garden at the back. Our waiter Craig was friendly,efficient and polite. The cakes were good too. Worth the visit as food was great and reasonable.

Excellent home made food at reasonable prices. Coffee is excellent. Hidden gem of a wee garden out the back.

Prices reasonable, very good service and good selection of light meals and snacks. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Having eaten here twice while staying in the area on holiday in June this year, I can only recommend this little jewel of a cafe that is open from 8am till late 7 days a week offering a wide range of typical cafe-style food - breakfasts are served till 11.45am and then you can choose from yummy cakes, luscious Sundaes, burgers, vegetarian meals for any kind of meal you feel you want.

The atmosphere in Brew Ha Ha is great with staff very welcoming and the other customers ( who are mainly local residents and also regular customers) keen to chat. The menu is quite limited but there are separate menus for breakfast ( until 11.45) and lunch. Meals are tasty food but hardly healthy eating. The cafe is a great place for locals and visitors alike and I will definitely be using again. The coffee is very good. Prices are definitely reasonable. Well worth a visit.

Simple and reasonably priced. Garden needs a bit of a spruce up as is a little overgrown and full of weeds. Not bad but could be much better with a little TLC.

Fantastic breakfast, great choice, nicely cooked and presented. Prompt service from very pleasant staff. I really enjoyed my breakfast which was the "big fuss" and the other family members really enjoyed their breakfasts to. We would thoroughly recommend eating here.

We visited Brew Ha Ha, at least 3 times! Whilst we were staying at Newton Stewart, a wide choice on the menu, good service and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Scones homemade e caffé macinato al momento per una pausa cordiale e in un ambiente alternativo e carino. Il caffé é meglio prenderlo americano e scirdarsi l' espresso

What a lovely cafe! Calm, peaceful, friendly. Music playing softly in the background. Fabulous jacket potato, with haggis, salad and crinkle crisps. Pots of tea and extra hot water. It was the highlight of my eating experiences on this cycling tour of Dumfries and Galloway, following the Sustrans Route Seven.

Popped in for a quick coffee whilst waiting for the museum to open. Really nice coffee. My daughter had an Oreo sundae which she enjoyed. Although we didn't eat, the food coming out looked very nice. Would definitely return.

We were passing through the town and decided to stop off to have a look around. The town was short on cafe's or places to eat for lunch. We decided to have a snack at Brew Ha Ha's. We we served immediately and with good customer service. The homemade soup was to be recommended. The special of the day was very plain.

Staying at the conifer lodges and popped into town for some breakfast. We both got the big fuss , the lady came over straight away with menus and was very attentive. The chef brought through the breakfast and was very pleasant. The food was absolutely outstanding. I’m usually a picky eater , but I enjoyed every item , even though it was far too much ! Highly recommend. The cake selection was fantastic ! :)
