Copperwheat Coffee Shop in North Ayrshire

Excellent coffee. Delicious cakes, scones , and biscuits baked every morning on the premises by owner John Copperwheat. Friendly service. Convenient location opposite the ferry terminal. Highly recommended

On the Cooper family sconometer these were the best scones ever! Friendly staff, lovely, strong coffee, comfy seats. Will definitely be back.

This is a smart and tidy coffee shop just be the Calmac ferry terminal. Along with the usual range of coffees they do toasties, cakes etc. The coffees were very good albeit, for done reason, they were served in takeaway cups.

Copperwheats is an excellent cafe if you like great coffee and a cheeky piece of cake (or anything else for that matter!). John, the owner, is a great host and the cafe is a great place to have a chat to the islanders. John's wife makes the best carrot cake I have ever tasted anywhere

Good strong coffee, right at the ferry terminal and bus stance, gentleman that served us was pleasant enough, we also noticed that you can make arrangements for luggage to be left which we thought was really good

Absolute disgrace this man. My dad and my son went in for a drink whilst waiting for the ferry. When I asked him for a normal cup instead of a take away cup his reply was that hé does'nt do cups anymore since covid.However several People in the shop did have normal Coffee cups and once I mentioned this his answer was that only locals can have a cup.So my dad who is a local got a cup whilst my son and I had a take away cup. Discrimination in my opinion. Will never use again

Really great place to visit just as you get off the ferry at Brodick really friendly owner very nolagable and remembers what you usually order as a drink that is if you go in more than twice food and beverages were exelent and the place is well looked after and very clean

Sitting with a coffee and a fruit scone. Both absolutely delicious! Price is very good and both the scones and the coffee are really great quality!

Op 1/9 moest onze fietsgroep de overzet nemen van Brodick naar Ardrossan. Wegens een technisch probleem met het schip moesten we een veel latere boot nemen. Ondertussen werden wij door de uitbater van tearoom/coffeeshop COPPERWHEATS goed opgevangen. Vriendelijke en behulpzame uitbater. Zeer lekkere koffiebereidingen en snacks. Proper sanitair. Echte aanrader in afwachting van de overzet !

Coffee was very good, scone just fell apart but did taste quite nice. Staff member was very attentive & pleasant . Could do with a wider choice of snacks, maybe some hot ones.

We stopping at this cafe while at the ferry terminal. I purchased 2 scones and tea. Whilst my husband was eating his he found a long hair which had come out of the scone in his mouth. We reported it to the woman who served us and she said she would give us a refund which she did. It was her lack of concern about the hair in the scone as if this happened quite often. I am sorry to say I will not be visiting this establishment again.

Copperwheats is a really nice place to go for a very reasonably priced snack and a coffee. The proprietors are the friendliest and most considerate I have ever met on Arran and made me feel instantly at home. I will certainly go again.

Have been in here a couple of times. Both times just for lattes while waiting on the ferry back to the mainland and although latte isn’t my favourite type of coffee I was told they did amazing flavoured ones. First time I had a gingerbread latte last year and a hazelnut latte this year. Was so glad the second latte was just as good as the first. Barista was also very friendly and provided good service. Well done Copperwheats!

As usual the copperwheat does not disappoint. Great coffee as always. Excellent service by the owner. Conversation and smiles. I had a Danish for breakfast today. Delicious. If I lived on Arran I would be here daily. He makes my coffee exactly as I like it and remembers me from last year.

Stopped in for takeaway coffee and cakes on route to the ferry. Lovely, friendly service and great coffee with alternative milks available.

Amazing service and fresh scones! Could not ask for more! Best oat milk latte on the island! Must try!

After an exhausting week of camping the coffee was a gift send by the gods. Alternative milk options and super friendly staff!

Great service and easily the best vanilla latte I have ever had! We also got scones and jams which were delicious as well.

Visited a few times whilst on holiday. Just wished we found it sooner. Coffee and food excellent and shop owner very accommodating. Even opened up early on the day we left to make take away coffees.

We have been here a few times this week, the guy that owns it is so friendly and willing to make strange request drinks. The coffee is amazing. The toasties and panini's were tasty and the cake delicious. We will be back next year for definite.

Coffee! Had takeaway Americanos with milk while we were waiting for the bus to Blackwaterfoot. Good service from a very nice waiter. Very nice coffee, too!

Was here for my holidays and the boat was running a bit late i then seen this coffee shop just outside the pier, so i thought i would run in and get a quick take away flat white and a cake. Atmosphere was really nice...

Just before boarding we popped in for a coffee and cake. Lovely calm atmosphere and good service too. Fruit scones...mmmm! Bypass the main street coffee shop and relax in Copperwheat coffee Shop

Lovely coffee, great fresh pastries. Very friendly staff. Great pit stop before going on the ferry. Would recommend a visit.

Popped in for a cup of tea and a coffee after Coming off the ferry. Warm friendly welcome and a lovely hot drink. Would recommend

I can only agree with what others have said: the best coffee on Arran and one of the best I have tried ! Nice selection of ice creams by the scoop, the cakes looked nice but none were gluten free, unfortunately. Very friendly, chatty owner...

Expertly made coffee. Easily best coffee so far on Arran. Been to three before this one. Ian N previous reviewer spot on too.

While doing some ferry-watching at Brodick pier, we spotted this place and called by. There is plenty of space inside, but we opted for the nice little terrace outside. They offered a good range of teas and coffees as well as a very well presented...

Social distancing taken serious but sadly means no breakfast served just bakes and pastries available. I had a decent coffee and tasty scone The man behind the counter is friendly and very polite! Don’t believe the bad reviews

Leckeres schnelles essen. Guter Service und faire Preise. Gemütliche Sessel, dich sas warten auf die Fähre verkürzen

Ik miste de bus naar Whitingbay. Koffie gedronke. Uitziht op de ferry naar Ardrossan en uiteraard de zee.

A pleasant café / restaurant right near the ferry terminal. There isn’t much else around apart from the fish and chip shop. The food here was quite nice. I had a toastie with salad and it was very tasty. Not the cheapest of places –...

I came in here for lunch, having looked upon the menu I was not impressed by the choices, food lacks any real unique quality. Very very bland and the place just lacks atmosphere, it's as though nobody wants to make an effort even the staff...

We used this coffee shop on a recommendation of the ferry check-in staff. A nice facility with good staff. We only had coffee and cake but we're very pleased other quality and service. We will use again on our return to Arran

Staff are always helpful and food well prepared. Worth a visit. Ideal location when waxing for the Ferry.

Went in for lunch after strolling about Brodick with our elderly father. The place was in very close proximity to the Arran Ferry Terminal so decided to give it a try. We ordered fish and chips thinking this would be a safe bet. How wrong we were. Approximately £11 for frozen fish and chips. Not only was the fish frozen but the batter was heavy and very unappealing. Tartare sauce was also out of date. We should have realised this place would not be good as there were only another 2 people in and that is normally a good indication. The girl server was okay and also asked if we enjoyed the food, to which I replied no and told her what was not to our liking. She did say she would sort out the out of date tartare sauce. No offer of discount was given. The whole place lacked ambience and unfortunately we will never return nor could I recommend.

Lovely place for a cuppa and scone. Very friendly staff. Very handy location for the ferry and Brodick town

Went in for a quick coffee and bite to eat before the ferry to be greeted by moody staff with terrible attitudes. This little coffee shop lets the island down whether it’s serving those coming off the ferry or going home. I’d imagine this small business mostly relies on the custom of visitors to the island so it might be wise of management to consider having a word with staff or risk losing business. Such a shame, has so much potential. Manners and a smile go a long way.

Came here for a tea and maybe a bite to eat before ferry but were greeted with the most unpleasant server imaginable. Plates were banged down, anger was shown when one customer asked to pay with card and everything was unhappy. She treated everyone in the cafe with a severe bad attitude and ruined the whole atmosphere of the place making it very uncomfortable. We probably would have eaten but felt unwelcome. You could tell that everyone felt the same way and most reviews saying the same. Shame as could be a nice wee place.

Popped in twice for coffees whilst in town........ Coffee was well made and cheaper than most places nearby. Personally didn't think staff where as unwelcoming as mentioned in previous reviews.

The quality of the cakes we had were very good but in comparison with other coffee shops they were somewhat limited in variety.

We popped in here for a quick cuppa and a cake. I think we inconvenienced the young lady serving and she certainly was not welcoming or grateful for our custom. Definitely NOT service with a smile. The coffee and cake were fine with a pleasing assortment of cakes on offer. Bit pricey but that’s to be expected on an island. I don’t mind that. The coffee shop is located just across from the ferry terminal so convenient for many. We won’t be returning. There are loads of lovely friendly and welcoming coffee shops on the island and I’d much rather give my money to them in return for a smile and a pleasant atmosphere.

Nipped in here whilst waiting on our ferry, and ordered a couple of breakfast rolls and hot drinks. Absolutely dire atmosphere. Seemed like we were an inconvenience to the two staff members. Right from the off there was a lot of huffing and puffing and the tension between the two female staff members was so tangible you could chew on it like a roll! The girl with the purpley hair who was cooking the food just about bit the other girls head off when she tried to pass her the order. The other girl seemed distinctly exasperated. I'm unsure if they maybe had a disagreement or some sort of personal issue but my goodness does it make for an uncomfortable setting! The prices were higher than we expected (we are of the understanding it cost over £2 extra for cream in the coffee we ordered ). The rolls were ok, although had to be sent back as had wrong fillings (misheard I'm assuming due to the snapping and speaking over each other done by the staff members). The bacon was very very fatty but the fried egg was cooked perfectly. Would eat the food again but would not spend any longer than necessary in the cafe, and would hate to ask anything extra of the staff for fear of being lynched!!

This dismal place just won't survive when the new ferry terminal opens if it has a cafe on the premises and Arran deserves better. Sorry, a sad but true review.

Called in for cup of tea whilst killing time whilst waiting for the ferry. Staff didn't seem particularly friendly and there wasn't any atmosphere in the cafe. It served its purpose for us in providing us with two cups of tea.

Myself and two friends kept the coffee shop visit till last and just before going on the ferry VERY BIG MISTAKE. The girl serving was very rude and not the least welcoming. On going into the shop we where greeted with do you want a FOOD? It's a coffee shop bad start. We had a look at what was on offer not a pretty sight, but we where just going to have tea . On say that the girl banned the tray on the counter!!!!! We said forget the tea and left. There are so many nice places to eat , but we did find one with very pleasant staff and lovely food. They got our money and the coffee shop lost out and I won't be recommending anyone. If looking for something to eat try the Deli at the Douglas hotel very good and worth a visit.

I recently visited Arran to climb goatfell, however as I came back to Brodick for the ferry I had an hour to wait. I thought oh there's a wee cafe to sit and wait.if I knew what I was in for I would have jumped aff the pier and swam back tae civilisation. Number one concern!- the weird waitress with the pink wig told me and my friends to get out because we had no money to buy something. All I wanted was to wait in out the cold and rain and they shut the door on us. I WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!! Complete farce. BOYCOTT COPPERWHEATS. Oh and the chippy next door is class so get it up u x

Young kids treated with no respect and talked about behind back by staff laughed and mimicked at totally no respect and to over priced £1.60 for a can !!!!!!!!!!

It pretty much does what it says on the tin. Ample seating inside, and some outside where you can sit with the dog (assuming you have one). The certainly make an excellent cuppa.

great wee egg and tattie scone roll and a coffee before boarding ferry back home and cooked to order so tastes even better friendly staff always look forward to my wee roll before boarding ferry be back in august!!!

Mucho más prometedor (y más grande) en el interior de este aspecto desde el exterior, esta cafetería cómoda tiene la vista perfecta hacia el ferry, así que puedes ver cuando es el momento de embarcar, o al menos descansar si se posterga viajes! Algunas opciones de desayuno, café y almuerzo, servicio con una sonrisa.

Visitamos aquí esta mañana, café muy bueno, así como las tartas. Justo al lado de la terminal de ferry muy práctico para conseguir sandwich antes de llegar voat

Tienda encantadora cafetería justo al lado de la terminal de ferry. Teníamos una preciosa taza de té y Deli Cake piadosos. Nuestros amigos tiene café y me dijeron que era mejor que las cadenas de café. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.

Stopped for morning coffee whilst waiting for ferry. Clean, bright premises with friendly helpful staff. Only had coffee and delicious piece of caramel shortbread but the chef was busy preparing meals which smelled wonderful. Toilets very clean. Outdoor seating area available if weather fine.

I visit copperwheats every time I visit Brodick. It's right at the ferry terminal so very handy to get something to eat and drink whilst waiting during the 30 minutes check-in time. I just get a takeaway and eat in the car, but when travelling as a foot passenger I eat inside. It's a very pleasant cafe with lovely sofas and armchairs plus tables and chairs if you prefer. The food is simply delicious. I always get a baked potato prawn marie rose. It comes with a side salad with a lovely dressing. The prawns are mouth wateringly good and the coffee is superb. Don't hesitate to pop in and tantalise your tastebuds. As they don't have the facility to take cards remember to have some cash instead. The staff are so friendly too. You won't be disappointed.

Great wee coffee shop just next to the ferry terminal....handy if you are a little early for the ferry or to shelter from the elements if your ferry is late ;) Coffee is really good and fairly priced...I've never had anything to eat here but the home baking looks nice!

We had some burgers and our kids had a tasty chicken nuggets and all 4 of us really enjoyed the food. I mean the food was delicious and it was easy to fill up our stomachs after a tiring walk to Goat Fell - meals were large :) it's worth to pop in to that place even just for a coffee... Great food and atmosphere.

I was cycling round the island and stopped at the Copperwheat to refuel. The home made soup was delicious and so was the chicken burger.

Lovely wee coffee place. We have never seen a frothier cappuccino and the flat white was to due for. Much needed recharge during a 15 minute changeover. Nice atmosphere and we thought the carpets gave the place a very nice, Scottish touch.

Although work could be done to make the place look a bit better, we are VERY glad we were recommended this café. Karen was really really friendly, down to earth and helped me out to find what was suitable for my allergy. She was an absolute delight.So glad we came

We are always please when we go to Copperwheat as the welcome is good. and always is a smile .the food is excellent and the coffee the best and as you go they say SEE YOU LATER.

Great little place on the lovely isle of Arran very friendly staff and lovely food and drinks good cake selection also relaxing place too be on arran overlooking the pier well done to John and staff se you soon

I have often passed this place and not thought to go in until now !I dropped in for lunch during a recent visit to the island and was more than pleasantly surprised. There was a good selection of food available on the menu from filled rolls to full meals at decent prices, my lunch was freshly prepared as I waited and the scones were just fresh from the oven, just the way I like them!Staff were considerate and pleasant and the coffee shop is very handy for the ferry.Having now visited once I will certainly return.

everything about copperwheat is nice and acceptable - food, drinks, service, view, atmosphere. Nothing to moan about.

I only had a baked potato and cheese here but it was pretty good - plenty of filling and a proper dressed salad. The other food that I saw looked good - proper fish and chips and made to order sandwiches - plus they had a better range of cakes than the coffee bar on the ferry back to Ardrossan

Had coffee and homemade cakes here yesterday while waiting for the ferry back to Ardrossan on a cold, wet, windy day. Very pleasant surroundings with sofas as well as table & chairs. Service was efficient and cheery and prices good. Great coffee too.

You will be amazed at the taste of the soup, it's amazing and great talent chef has for foodDefo visit again, the menu is mouth watering and I just would love to try everything 10/10

Great coffee and tiffin to die for! Perfect. Wish I had found this wee place when we arrived, not when we were waiting to head home. Lovely!

Warm and friendly atmosphere and good food to warm away winter chills. The view out across Brodick Bay with Goat Fell in the background allows a moment of contemplation.

We called in for a coffee and ended up having lunch! Excellent tasting coffee and our lunch was very tasty. We had a light lunch with an added bowl of chips! We thoroughly enjoyed it and we spoke to a couple who had had the fish and chips. The fish was of a generous size and the whole meal was also. They said it was one of the best fish and chips they have ever had. Prices were very reasonable and the coffee was also, far cheaper - and better tasting - than some of the "national" coffee shops. You will not be disappointed.

Friendly, welcoming service. All food home cooked. Handy location when waiting for the ferry. Wi-Fi is free.

They offer sandwiches and baked potatoes which were nice and quite decently priced seeing as they come with chips and coleslaw. It was the service that stood out, because it was very friendly and the place was popular among locals. They serve nice coffee, as well. Overall, good for a quick bite as it is right next to the ferry.

Had a nice sausage sandwich and coffee here before the ferry crossing. Don't attempt to get a "quick bite to eat" though as the chef makes things to order by the looks of things.

Coffee was nice, wait staff were good and it's a convenient place to sit and wait for the ferry. It's also got a small outdoor seating area.

Only a limited visit (coffee and scone whilst waiting for the ferry, which is adjacent) but was impressed with the bright and airy interior and the cleanliness of the toilets.

Visited here on arrival from the ferry and enjoyed a cooked lunch. There was one chef and two young watresses. Service was prompt and friendly. The shop and toilets were spotless.Second half.At the end of the holiday the weather had deteriorated so breakfast here seemed a good idea while we waited for the boat. The shop was full with travellers who had the same idea as us. This time however there were only two staff and although we eventually were able to obtain coffees we were advised there was a 25 minute wait for 2 bacon rolls..Perhaps this was a one off and they were short staffed.

Went in to day as boat was delayed latte was very good place very clean good service worth a visit would go back if back in arran

Friendly, relaxed place with good food. Have a sweet tooth, then try their peppermint slice, it is yummy! Ideally located just across from the ferry terminal at Brodick.

Good food and very good service.Would have liked the choice of brown bread & rolls though & cash only when we visited.Home made soup recommend

Went here on 14th to wait for friend off ferry, food was yummy & very tasty, girl who served very pleasant

This is a lovely café perfect place to have a drink and something to eat if you are waiting for the ferry

A typical seafood cafe with basic average food. clean and respectable with attentive staff. overall experience was good for a light bite and cup of tea.

Popped in here for a cup of coffee Excellent coffee and service. The staff were so friendly and welcoming

while waiting for our delayed ferry we enjoyed a coffee and cake in this little restaurant. We were surprised to find such a clean and smart interior - loved the tartan carpet!staff very pleasant and helpful.

amazing service yummy food great chatter and friendly atmosphere...boats were cancelled and needed warmed up so went and had a seat and a cup of tea...a great place to go for something to eat and to get out of the rain

What a lovely ideally situated place, very cosy and comfortable, food and service was excellent and very reasonably priced.

Was a lovely coffee shop. Great staff and brilliant value.The food was well prepared and tasted great.The 'Pot for one' tea was like a pot for two! good stuff!

Lovely little coffee shop, with good choice of snacks, right at the harbour. friendly helpful staff and pleasant surroundings.

Their lattes are very fluffy and creamy, but you do need to tell them to make it hotter. It depends which girls makes them, as they can be just lukewarm.Disappointed on homemade cakes, as there are none! The very few traybakes seem to look stale.We enjoyed the toasties and they had a lovely side salad and crisps.The place smelt of old fried food which is ashame.

Popped in after seeing wedding guests off on ferry.Despite all the outside tables requiring clearing after all the ferry passengers had left our order was quickly taken by a hard working cheerful waitress.Our order came quite quickly but we still got an apology for the perceived delay which was a very nice touch considering we thought all was good.Great place to sit and watch ferry come and go and we popped in a few times on our weeks stay in Arran.

I have used the Brodick ferry on many occasions and so I have stopped opposite the Copperwheat Cafe but until last week I had never been in. Why? I was put off by its poor exterior appearance. It was a mistake to do so and I will certainly go again. Having put in a hard days shift cleaning my holiday property ready for our next guests I found myself in the ferry queue desperate for a cuppa. Cue Copperwheat Cafe. Very friendly service, nice tea, good home baking and very comfortable inside (good loos too). If, like me, you are a regular ferry Q'er give it a go. Sorry Calmac I may have lost you some business.

Although the are the only restaurant before embarking on the ferry back to the mainland, the cost was very reasonable. The service was great. Alison, the manageress, although busy, managed to get around all the customers, take orders, deliver meals and still have time to clear tables. Would highly recommend eating there,,

A great coffee house very convenient for the ferry across to Ardrossen. Coffe is excellent and there is a good variety of food all of which is well cooked and presented. Reasonable prices.

had excellent pot of tea with friends and there was plenty for 4 cakes fab.excellent toilet facilities and not to far to walk to them.

Great food, freshly prepared, and so convenient for the ferry. We were here last year, will be back next year - standards are so consistent.

Attended at Copperwheats for a spot of late lunch waiting on the ferry to return to Ayrshire. The cafe was nice and clean, especially the tables and toilet. I myself got the Copperwheat burger, it was absolutely lovely. The rest of my family's food was also very good. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough to help, lovely place.

lovely tasty home made soup on a dreich day just hit the spot!fast friendly service and good value for money

Ideal place to eat whilst waiting for the ferry, friendly, clean and good value. Handy to pop into to avoid the queues at the port.

this place is an ideal place to enjoy a quiet time either before boarding the ferry or just to relax with some nice food. the staff are welcoming and I'm sure you will do well from the cars waiting to board.

Nice coffee stop by the ferry terminal, good selection of meals and sweet-things-not-really-part-of-a-diet snacks! Popular with Islanders and visitors alike.
