James's Coffee Shop in Highland

The ice cream was delicious and the staff was kind and organised it was a very busy day and the staff managed to get our order at a decently fast pace and there didn’t seem to be any issues with other customers orders. Overall great cafe !!👏👏👏

The flavours of each cream are boundless and constantly changing, since café owner James experiments with new flavours all season. Everything is made on-site using local ingredients. Even the vegan ice cream is made from oat milk, which is also made on site! Over my last couple of visits I managed to try the Kinder Bueno, Tiramisu, Mint Choc Chip (can't go wrong with a classic), Cranachan and Chocolate Orange. My partner recommends the Lavender & Honey - though has only seen it appear one time - or the vegan chocolate which is arguably richer than its dairy counterpart. I have been less than a handful of times, but by the end James recognised and knew me by name! Rather impressive considering the long queues his café amasses particularly on sunny days. Other menu items to try are the chili or tumeric lattés, or the newly-added milkshakes.

Stopped here for coffee and waffles. They were great and fast efficient servise. Sat outside with our dogs.

takeaway hot chocs and icecreams - good choice of flavours would thoroughly recommmend and good system in place re covid

Came here as was walking our dogs and was tempted to try bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, it was absolutely delicious! My double shot flat white was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while. A nice find and I’m sure we will be visiting here more regularly as it’s nice spot to stop off at and relax. Highly recommended.

I spend nine days in Nairn and here the only not only drinkable but truly excellent espresso is served. Delicious fresh cakes, waffles and toasties - of course the artisan ice cream melts even the most frozen heart. Vegan and vegetarian servings are a treat. Lovely out door seating overlooking the small putting green and towards the beach/Moray Firth. James's Coffee Shop could be a reason to move to Nairn.

Home made ice cream - the best in town. Don't bypass the beach area without visiting and having an ice cream. You wont be disappointed.

We had amazing waffles at the cafe and loved sitting in the sun watching the putting but it wasn't long before my daughter was off to play on the nearby obstacle course! Lovely tea, hot chocolate and coffee. Service was welcoming and helpful.

Great place to stop, ice cream made on the premises and you can taste the quality, great coffee great seating area. Well worth visiting.

The queues say all you need to know. Coffee, ice cream or waffles (especially waffles) you will not be disappointed, it is worth the wait and the blankets to put over your legs are a nice touch too.

Have had a few coffees and many ice creams at James cafe. It is lovely in the sun but chilly in the shade.. the ice cream is delicious, coffee pleasant.

In Nairn so had to stop for some delicious ice cream. As amazing as ever. Perhaps slightly expensive but absolutely worth it. Keep up the fab work.

Best Flat white, waffles and ice cream of our trip. So much so that we visited every day. Great park next door as well as putting. Highly recommend.

overpriced and pretentious. a pointless addition to the town when theres already dozens upon dozens of cafes

This is a very popular place and I would say very highly regarded amongst the folk of Nairn. The chap who runs it is obviously passionate about trying to provide quality products. The coffee is certainly the best I’ve had in Nairn, as well as the surrounding area. Cake is excellent and I think (at least some of it) is sourced through Gateux Regal (a local cake producer). The waffles are amazing and made while you wait, and the ice cream homemade and very good indeed! Would go back again and again. I like the eco-friendly touches too and the fact that interesting local events are also advertised in the shop. Definitely go and visit!

A regular stopping off point for all of our visits to Nairn. Good tasting coffee and choice of yummy cakes.

Not only does this tiny coffee shop offer a big selection of great coffees and teas alike but it also is a top notch icecream parlour too! Ive have the good fortune to sample both, thanks to a week of variable weather! Blankets are provided if theres a nip in the air as you enjoy the fresh air - and perfect for dog walkers as it mainly outdoor seating. Lovely staff, with a relaxed vibe - this all makes for a lovely experience and only a stones throw from the beach!

Great outdoor coffee/tea stop - high quality of drinks and great home baking. It's good if you are walking the dog in the area and fancy stopping for a break. Highly recommended.

Fantastic ice cream (and coffee!) shop - blankets and hot water bottles provided so you can sit out and enjoy the amazing home made ice cream all year round! Take a tub to take ice cream home. James and his staff are friendly and attentive creating a good vibe!

What a lovely place, food really nice, great selection of drinks and cakes, you even get a blanket for if it's cold when sitting outside....such lovely relaxing plce to sit , admire the view and chat with friends.

Lovely little café by the putting green. friendly staff and cute how there is blankets on each seat. Very rustic and the ice cream is fantastic!!

A lovely little coffee shop overlooking the putting green, close to the Links of Nairn and the beach of the Moray Firth looking towards the Black Isle and Cromarty.A variety of Coffee's, Cakes and artisan Ice Creams

Friendly, warm staff, service is excellent. The coffee and tea all organic and fairtrade. Whatever drink you order it is done how you would like it! Cakes made locally all delicious recommend Blueberry and Pear Cake - YUM! The ice cream in summer made on the premises and lots of interesting flavours - the queue is a testament to how very very popular this place is. HIGHLY Recommend it.

"Just" a coffee kiosk, but excellent coffee, proprietor's personal attention, chairs overlooking putting green and sea, very popular with dog walkers who can take their dogs.

Firstly the main stay of any good coffee shop - good coffee! Full marks here. Seating outside in chilly weather was no drawback, they have thought of everything - blankets, hot water bottles etc. Made for a lovely experience. We saw a review on Facebook so made a bee line after our journey from Leeds. Well worth it

Its a simple place, close by the sea, a modest little wooden structure with a history serving the nearby park and putting green, now turned into a outdoor café. But where do you think you can find a place that offers you comfy rugs and hot water bottles (Yes!) to keep you warm in the coldest of weather, which serves each and every coffee and homemade cake individually with a smile and a cheery word ?

EXCELLENT coffee, friendly faces, home-made artisan ice-cream and fabulous quality. What more can you ask for??! Genuinely can't praise this place highly enough, it's a great addition to the area. We're regulars & love it. We suggest you GO!!

I must say that you would not expect this place to impress from the outside but boy oh boy you will be surprised.

Found this place by the beach in Nairn . Nice food and coffee . Very friendly service and ideal after the beach or just to rest up after a cycle ride .

Lovely setting overlooking the putting green and a childrens adventure park. What a great idea to turn this wee building into a cafe. Grandchildren loved the ice cream and we enjoyed some Septembet sunshine with a lovely coffee. Daughter tells me that they provide blankets and hot water bottles during the winter months ... a novel idea.

Nice place to go for coffee, cake and ice cream on a sunny day. Small place, with outdoor seating. friendly and helpful staff and owner.

Saw a sign advertising artisan ice creams, so made our way to the putting green and found the small café. Wide range of ice creams in all different sizes, tubs, cones and wafers. We went for double tubs - Ferrore Roche and Raspberry Ripple - Kiwi Fruit and Raspberry Ripple. Sat at the table overlooking the putting green and thoroughly enjoyed the creamy, tasty ice creams. Before we left we bought two slices of cake for later on back at our hotel. That too was very nice - moist sponge with strawberry; pear; blueberry fruits. Thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and cake. Very nice friendly staff serving excellent products.

Summer speciality is huge range of artisanal ice cream : queue last week was 50 strong (well, it was Nairn Games day!) I think the shop will revert to a cafe shortly - where they have wonderful coffee and cake, but also almond croissants (warm) and a range of tray bakes, all very yummy

Lovely freindly guy who runs it makes great coffee ,the locals are very freindly Was really busy and he coped real well

Fantastic! Right on the putting links. Very eco friendly. Excellent range of coffees and cakes to die for!!! Even supplies blankets and hot water bottles for the not so nice Scottish days ! Well deserves to be supported. DO NOT MISS on your visit to Nairn - definitely worth a visit. Love it !!!!!!!
