Cafe Rosabaum in North Ayrshire

Great lunch spot, fab team of polite, cheerful and energetic staff - Megan and Annie in particular are superb. Menu seems more limited on some days than other for no apparent reason but everything produced is good quality, tasty and reasonable portion sizes. Always feel it could do with more tables than it has!

Great little place with very helpful and friendly staff. Best coffee we had on Arran and the food was freshly made, quickly served and delicious. Well worth visiting.

Wow, what a fabulous cafe,huge thanks to the fantastic Judith,the coffee was superb,nutty and tasty,the lemon cake was light ,fluffy and yummy. Our visit was to climb Goatfell and to visit the cafe was an absolute treat!! Keep up the brilliant work Judith we really like your style and see you next time !

We ate here when visiting the museum. The cafe was really nice. I had soup with quiche. Coffee was good too. Kids had either jacket potatoes or toasties. Gluten-free catered for.

Sad to say the quality of the cakes (2 different kinds) were really not at all good. Scones were dry, not light, fluffy or buttery and tasted stale. If they were fresh they didn’t look or taste fresh. A baker who knows their stuff wouldn’t have put these out. Pastry on the lemon meringue had a flavourless, gritty texture; lemon curd was gloopy and meringue over sugared. We actually didn’t eat them. Have been here before and the experience was the exact opposite so we know they can do much better. Location and place is lovely. This might’ve just a bad day. Might also be not enough staff to ensure consistently good food. Either way, sorry to say that on this day the baking and service wasn’t anything like before.

What a lovely place. We came across it whilst cycling, stopped for lunch, mooched around the excellent museum, then had cake and coffee, couldn’t resist the lemon sponge. Friendly staff, very well presented museum and lovely garden.

This place is very popular with locals and it is easy to see why. The staff are very friendly the cakes we enjoyed were superb.

The best lemon meringue pie I've tasted <3 great friendly service and a lovely area to sit outside in.

I’ve visited Café Rosaburn a few times but today things went to a whole different level when I experienced one of Courtney’s moist and mouthwatering cinnamon swirls. Amazing!

Met up with family here. What a lovely cafe and what a selection of homemade cakes. We all had the Victoria sandwich, it has to have been the lightest sponge I have ever had. Lovely atmosphere and cheery staff.

We've eaten here a few times on various visits to Arran, the food is toasties / soup / cakes etc and is always fresh and well presented. Worth a visit for lunch, you can eat in or outside as it is connected to the Arran Heritage Museum.

Delicious cakes and coffee. Sadly just post breakfast so could not have more but would go again. Very friendly staff and lovely gardens to sit outside if weather nice.

We visited Café Rosaburn and then returned twice more during our week’s stay on Arran. The cafe has such a lovely atmosphere and all of the staff we met (from the lady in museum shop to the café staff) were friendly and welcoming and the location was so quaint and homely. The home baking was “thoroughly delicious” (coffee cake and lemon sponge cake; homemade tablet) and it’s clear significant time, care and effort is put into this delightful café. Great value and not to be missed. Thank you to Judith and staff, will miss visiting until next year. X

Lovely wee place , visited 3 times on our week’s holiday! Gorgeous home baking the scones and meringues a high light and friendly staff. Thank you so much will see you next year x

We enjoyed a nice lunch here during our long weekend on Arran after a visit to Brodick Castle. The black garlic lamb on pitta and the steak ciabatta were both great and the kids enjoyed their sandwiches. We had a walk around the museum gardens after our lunch to learn more about the local history too. Well worth a visit!

Nice surroundings while visiting the museum. Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent food and good value.

Lovely location, great for coffee, light lunch or afternoon tea. Delicious home bakes and welcoming staff. Eat inside or out in the grounds of the heritage museum. We felt completely safe as the Covid-19 protocol is well thought out. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we visited three times in four days!

The cafe as such has plenty teas coffees and soft drinks on a printed menu. The cake stand and scones catches your eye when ordering, The blackboard has all your mains, baked potatoes, sandwiches on it. Plus home made soup. It’s real traditional farm house fair, staff are really nice and the food is all really good with excellent presentation.

had lunch here today - tea in a teapot ;ovely coffee and hot choc = had black garlic lamb in home made pitta bread- good size portion plus salad -was delicious = friend had the homemade quiche also yum would recommend

This cafe at the Heritage Museum is very good. It is attractive, clean and tidy and has a decent menu of hot and cold snacks as well as cakes, sandwiches etc. We enjoyed tea and scones which, along with the service, were very good.

Great experience for all of us kids loved the museum especially quiz and outdoor area!!I loved Lisa’s freshly baked Victoria Sponge it’s the best I’ve had in long time! Staff were lovely really helpful and friendly this is the second time we’ve visited we will definitely be back next time we are on Arran. Thank you.

Returned to this great wee cafe after two or three years. We had an excellent lunch. I can recommend the spicy chicken ciabatta. The cakes looked amazing but alas we were full up but will be back. The staff were superb. They were most welcoming, attentive but not intrusive. Definitely worth the visit.

Lovely cafe in a great wee heritage museum. The lemon meringue pie is as good as my Mum’s was - in Glaswegian: “No bad at a’! “. Cheery and high quality.

Superb little cafe.Lovely standard of food,excellent home baking and courteous service. We visited a couple of years ago and were very disappointed that standards had slipped considerably.The cafe was taken over by new owners just after we visited.Thank goodness.

Dropped in here after a visit to the museum. Definitely the best scones on Arran!!! Absolutely delicious!!!

Very good menu and between us we had a hearty soup and lovely bread and a cranberry, brie and bacon brioche, followed by very nice baking. The service could not have been better and was speedy.

Ate lunch here while visiting the heritage museum (cafe is in one of the buildings). It's very small with six tables squeezed in, but is well worth a visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was great, good portion sizes at reasonable prices. There were a range of standard lunch options and a large array of cake choices. If I had more time in Arran I'd be back.

Popped in when visiting the heritage Museum and were so impressed went back twice in the week. Good food, great value and the two young ladies running the establishment could not have done more to make patrons feel welcome. For an island that depends on tourism many of the other establishments could well do to visist and see what real customer service is.

Popped in here for a cake and a cuppa (Oct 2017) and it was great! Part of the ARRAN Heritage Museum you need to pay 50p per person if accessing the restaurant and/or toilets but it’s for a good cause as the museum is run by volunteers. Tearoom is lovely in an old original part of the museum buildings. Cakes are largely homemade and delicious while the tea/coffee are both good too! According to the menu boards, you can also get “proper “ meals and the choices were varied. Staff were friendly and chatty and the only downside is that the museum and tearoom close for winter from the end of October. Well worth the visit!

On our first, very wet, day on Arran, we wanted a coffee and noticed that the Heritage Museum had a cafe - so in we popped. We weren't expecting much, to be honest, but found a place that served excellent light meals, wonderful baking and a really decent coffee. The main strength of the place, however, was in the unforced enthusiasm and friendliness of the two girls running it. You couldn't meet anybody more pleasant. We ended up going back every day and really missed it when we got home.

Delicious food simply served in clean and comfortable surroundings. The cakes were appearing as I arrived at 10 am so after a scone, I had to come back for lunch, sadly I couldn't manage the carrot cake but I will be back. The coffee was also delicious, a quality not to be overlooked.

The staff make you feel part of the family. Service is great and food and cakes fabulous. No matter how busy the cafe gets the staff take it all in their stride and nothing is a bother to them.

Lovely lunch, with helpul staff. Well worth a visit. Prambulators although welcome, are a tight squeeze in the small restaurant. Charming setting, and volunteer staff in the shop & museum are very informative & helpful.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Proper home cooked food - we also couldn' t resist the delicious home baking! The best cafe on the island! Thank you!!

Nuestra familia de tres generaciones y dos perros pequeños almorcé aquí la semana pasada. La comida estaba riquísima y muy bien presentada y era lo suficientemente cálido como para sentarse fuera. Cuando fueron superadas por el temido midgies, el personal inmediatamente producido velas de citronella y se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos fuera. La comida es fantástica y el personal muy amable y servicial.

Mi marido y yo fuimos a Arran para el día y disfrutamos de nuestro almuerzo en el Café Rosaburn, él tenía la deliciosa sopa y sándwich y tuve un delicioso sándwich con ensalada y patatas fritas. Tuvimos la suerte de sentarse fuera en el sol. Lisa era muy servicial y profesional. Sin duda volveremos. Gracias.

Una escapada fantástica en el centro de patrimonio - gran taza de té para dos personas. . . . . . . . . . Los bollos y son maravillosos. Entendemos que Judith ha tomado este café. . Y ella hace un trabajo excelente de forma cálida y agradable. Ella es hábilmente asistidos por Lisa, que pueden ir a Canadá para disfrutar de ese país. Bien hecho tanto, Judith esperamos que tienen mucho éxito con esta nueva aventura como su trabajo duro sin duda merece. Disfrute de Canadá, Lisa. . . . un placer hablar con ustedes dos.

We popped in for a coffee after having a walk round the museum &amp; were pleasantly surprised by what met us, not only did we get a fresh coffee but also a lovely selection of homemade cakes including a choice of gluten free which was a real bonus &amp; there was even an added-sugar free option too.My daughter had a bowl of the soup which was delicious &amp; the friendly welcome we received topped off our visit.This was our 4th visit to Arran but 1st at Cafe Rosaburn &amp; we'll definitely be back!!

We had coffee and gluten free cake. Superb. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The cake was so light and fresh. Very good choice for light lunch.

The museum has a lovely cafe; light &amp; airy; well decorated. Staff are friendly and courteous. The food is delicious and good value too.

We went here on our second day what a fantastic place and so cheap ,the history in here is mind blowing well worth a visit for young &amp; old there is something for every one

Beautifully presented salads and toasties in a beautiful setting. What more could you want?! We had the brie and cranberry toasties with salads. We've also called before and had the goats cheese salads, absolutely delicious.

We spent a very enjoyable hour or so visiting the Heritage Museum, a must see for all visitors to Arran, and popped into the Cafe for a coffee and as it turned out, some cake. The coffee was freshly made, the cake no doubt baked on the premises, and the service was good. Best of all two coffees and two large slices of cake came to only £7 in total.

This Café is located in the Heritage Museum. The fare is simple but with a fine selection of home made cakes. We had croissants stuffed with garlic mushrooms for our lunch and it was delightful. It would be even better sitting outside if the weather were good but you need to watch out for the ducks.
