Visited here on the way to an overnight stay, arrived at 1.05, got order took at 1.15, not bad considering it was busy, tea and coffee came ot at 13.31 and my food finally came atc 13.36. Husband had another 5 minute wait for his soup and toasty combo The food was at best average, I got an omelette and chips, the chips were frozen chips and not the best of quality, the cheese omelette was very bland unless you hit a bit that had an overabundance of cheese, lucky if I ate half of my meal. When any items came out, there was not one word spoken at any if the times the staff delivered the food or beverages, in fact I felt like an inconvenience to them, I wonder if it because we are not local, we will never know I guess.

Lovely and warm when walking in but put to bottom end down some steps as no availability at the front of cafe. It was cold and very unwelcoming sat next to a freezer which was a bit noisy and staff removing items. It didn't help with staff constantly going out bottom door and leaving it open causing a very cold draught. If this area was utilised properly it would be a great enhancement to cafe. Food. Ordered a toasted panini with chicken mayo. What I got was a toasted baguette with diced up chicken which I'm sure is bought frozen in bulk and tasted rubbery. It should have been advertised as toasted baguette with Mayo and chicken. Staff. The staff that served us were pleasant but a lot of people in and around kitchen area that looked as though they shouldn't be there. Outdoor clothing and in and out back door The cafe was busy so maybe we just picked wrong thing to eat and sat in wrong place. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Food good. Service needs a lot of improvement. 3 of us were in for breakfast arrived about 10.10am on Saturday. Tables full at front but customers had already been served and eating Waitress took us to back section of restaurant which there was no heating or lights on and indicated for us to sit at table that was next to fridges. Waited ages for order to be taken - waitress apologised and said they thought someone else had taken order. We all ordered small breakfasts - waitress advised there was no hashbrowns and asked if we would like an alternative item instead. We were then charged for these items. Tea and coffee were cold by time breakfast came, waitress advised that toast was just coming - breakfast was finished and still no toast, managed to catch attention of a waitress to ask where toast was to which she asked if we wanted white or brown bread - we ended up declining as we had already finished breakfast. Food was tasty, hot, and reasonably priced , however service very disorganised, slow and no one really seemed interested. There were no other customers that came in in the time we were waiting so wasn’t overly busy. Overall food ok but wouldn’t recommend or rush back.

My husband and I decided to have lunch out as we were both at home so we picked here. It was busy as it was in the week at lunch time. Lady said there was space and moved a table from another customers table and gave it to us. That was uncomfortable for us. She wiped the table and gave us menus. We both ordered hunters chicken burgers. The lady proceeded to take our order then walked behind us took out our chicken from the freezer with her bare hands and walked to the kitchen holding our chicken. She brought our drinks over in what looked like 2 kids glasses that were different and full of scratch’s. She held our cutlery by the top too. I think she needs a lot of training to be honest, Lunch was ok for freezer food. I don’t think I’ll return for lunch again but maybe coffee and cake as they looked nice.

Absolutely amazing! Our company arranged a buffet from Da Vinci’s Cafe to take with us on a photoshoot for our magazine. The boxes were bursting with an assortment of tasty sandwiches, wraps, cakes and tray bakes. There was something for everyone on the shoot. My personal favourite was their coronation chicken wrap. Delish! Their buffet platters are perfect for any party, event or gathering. The portions we received were amazing, we couldn’t finish it all (we were practically fighting over the leftovers😂) Highly highly recommend!

Food was good, hot, tasty and very reasonably priced. However... The 2 issues I had was when the waitresses brought out cutlery they were wet. It can't be that unreasonable to take 10 seconds to dry them. The 2nd was when the same waitress was placing the menus on the tables the one beside me had leftover food stuck on the lower corner. Not very appealing. These are simple fixes and not likely to put me off from returning, but it won't be any time soon.

We had often seen this attractive restaurant from the main road and this time dropped in for a coffee and a cake. Plenty of parking and once in the restaurant it has a very smart decor and comfortable seating. We were quickly served by friendly staff. The cake was very fresh and an impressive size however the coffee, although dark, was very weak and almost undrinkable. A great menu and breakfast looks worth dropping in for! Plenty of space however quite a bit of stores lying around in the lower area. It has a stair lift. The sreet is named 'The Kirk's Alarm'.

Called in here on the way to a planned walk around Dumfries House estate, but cancelled the walk plan after having an amazing afternoon tea. Staff apologised as there was only one scone left, so added an extra piece of lemon meringue pie instead. The tea was served on a stack of three dinner plates, not little side plates. Beautiful coronation chicken and egg mayo sandwiches, and delicious wraps. Middle section had the scone, big enough for two, with two huge slices of chocolate cake and sponge, empire biscuit and shortbread, and a cup cake. Top level was the lemon meringue, which we had to share, it was so large. Large teapot, refilled as required. Wonderful pleasant young ladies cooking and serving; brought us a take away box with two more complimentary huge portions of lemon meringue pie; we also had to request take away for the cakes and biscuit. Very impressed also with the time staff took to chat with an elderly customer on his own. All of this for less than most places would charge for a discounted afternoon tea. Only advice would be to go for your walk before you call in here!

Lovely little lunch spot which should be a little goldmine given location, great parking, pleasant surroundings etc. But we were really disappointed with the food. BLT served between 2 huge slabs of cold crusty bread. Pointless trying to cut through the doorstoppers of bread as the filling wasn’t anything to write home about. Cold - straight from the fridge - slices of tomato, lettuce and hot fatty bacon. The side salad hadn’t been washed properly - if at all. There was what looked like a black bug amongst it although I didn’t waste any time trying to dissect it to find out if it had indeed at some point been alive. However, the coffee was lovely!

almost a year since we last visited and I'm sad to say standards are slipping. Our table still had detritus on it and was badly needing wiped/cleaned. I had to send back cutlery as it was VERY dirty, no apology or embarrassment from the waitress, just a "no bother" my wife and daughter shared the pizza/pasta combo, again no spoon to serve pasta with. On the positive note the food was excellent and good value for money, the girl who served us was pleasant and chatty [ the same girl from last year] . While we were there our friends had came in for coffee and toasties, 30 minutes later they had finished their coffee and were still waiting for coffee. I found it very disappointing as I know from experience this restaurant is capable of so much more.

Have been here a few times but went recently for the first time in a while. When I went in, 5 tables were covered in dirty plates and had obviously been sitting for a while. We sat downstairs which also had two tables needing cleared. We sat at the only clean table we could see. The other tables weren't cleared until half-way through our visit and there were still tables needing cleared when we left. There were boxes of veg on the floor along with boxes of washing up liquid. Our seats seemed to be in the route staff use for their cigarette breaks. There was no music playing in the cafe so no atmosphere at all. When this place first opened, I really liked it but my recent visit was really disappointing. There is so much potential with the location of this place yet it shuts about half 4 each day. Live music or themed food nights would be great (as long as tables are cleared promptly!)

It would make a nice little restaurant but its actually just a very expensive café. We arrived at 4.50pm and last orders for food is at 5. There was no dough left for pizzas, so we had pasta, but there was no Tagliatellie left so we had Penne. Its always clean and tidy, but it gives the impression that it lacks direction and focus. The staff were keen to leave and by 5.15 there was a definite sense that they were just hanging on for us to leave - most of the staff were away by 5. Its a nice enough café but it has the space, the location and the potential to be far better than it is

Don't get me wrong the cafe is nice enough and the menu looked good but I was only there for a decent takeaway coffee. I was stung £3 for a mediocre large latte....Their large coffee equates to a medium everywhere else, it's the same price to sit in as it is to takeout and it didn't taste nice to boot. Not what I'd expect from a business attached to HRH Prince Charles's Knockroon project. It's overpriced and undersized. Stay clear and go to Greggs in the nearby town.

What a hidden gem of a place....popped in for a quick bite to eat to be welcomed by such friendly staff. The food was a delight and so reasonably priced as well. Will definately be telling family and friends of this little diamond.

What can I say - popped in on way to Lochside Hotel as could not check in till later. Got the afternoon tea which was excellent in every way. Great sandwich selection, lovely scones and traybakes and excellent coffee. A real hidden gem in east ayrshire and wish I stayed closer so I could go back. Brilliant value for money too and very attentive staff. Cannot rate more highly!

We eat here regularly as a family and also get take aways. The food is always very fresh and everything that we have had has been delicious. The cafe is fresh and welcoming and the staff are friendly.

Only fault I would say was the noise from the Kitchen was terrible had to talk loud to be heard above this

Lovely cafe on the Cumnock auchinleck road. Pasta dishes are plentiful and good value for money. The afternoon tea set is also good value for the price.

When I visited, the cafe was empty except for two staff. I asked for afternoon tea, to be told I would have to book - as indicated on a chalk board inside the door.This place is on a main road so surely a lot of the trade is "passing" - potential customers wouldn't know about having to pre-book. The cafe was clean and the coffee was OK - that's all I had, but what a shame. I would have spent a lot more money, and I would have returned if I had been served what I wanted.

This is a lovely place and very well kept. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and attentive.My only criticism would be the ordering and paying process, this it would run more smoothly if they took table orders, as paying your bill is very slow when taking and making up orders.Will definitely return.

We went out for a late afternoon meal and it was our first time in da vincis, the staff were bubbly and friendly and reserved us a table 15 minutes before arriving. Having just returned from Rome I can assure you that the pizza is authentic italian style, not American interpretation. The cakes we had to take home for a cup of tea were lovely as well. My family assured

The gluten-free pizza that these guys do is phenomenal! It's delicious, and honestly, I'll never order pizza from anywhere else because nothing can top it!! I highly recommend! (You can find them on just eat too!)

Very quick service, however food was not cooked fresh and the batter on our fish suppers was not as crispy as it should have been. Charged me 25p for salt and vinegar for every meal - cost me an extra 75p, never in my life been charged for condiments, that alone will mean I won't ever be back!!!!!
