Janie's in North Ayrshire

Was checking the menu and the door was slammed in our faces and close sign put up at 3pm so we got the message and left so I take they were closing early good way of welcoming visitors to arran

Young female wearing glasses was as bitter as the over-priced coffee she banged down on the table, spilling some of the valuable brew into the saucer. A wee lesson in customer service wouldn't go amiss.

While not the cheapest cafe I can definitely recommend the food . I had a bacon black pudding and egg cob and it was delicious. My wife had a bagel with cream cheese , avocado and tomato. That was delicious too . Really friendly staff and will definitely return .

Well worth the wrong turns and walk from the ferry terminal. We wanted good coffee and that’s what we got. Coffee excellent. The scone was apparently one of the best ever and my vegan-friendly soup was piping hot and delicious. A quiet calm setting with friendly staff.

Visited last week when on holiday on Arran, we always call for a coffee. Sadly this year we missed out on their gorgeous scones as it was not long after breakfast that we called by! The fresh scones are super! Lovely coffee and service with a smile. Great location just near lovely shops / Arran Aromatics etc so really handy to stop here.

£2:50 for a bottle of water to take away! Went over to the farm shop 75p!! We were contemplating staying for lunch but glad we didn’t!

Fantastic food, wonderful staff and just an overall wonderful experience. The home made soup is beyond delicious and the selection of soup always has a choice for most. Panini's, toasties and sandwiches are all tasty and filling. A must for your visit to Arran

Stumbled over this establishment after a trip around the island. No picture - the pink scone was soooo yummy! It all ended up in my tummy 😄

Regularly use and recommend Jaynie’s in Brodick. The jolly service and delicious freshly made food , cakes and baking never fail to disappoint. Yesterday we had Chicken Rice soup which hit the spot perfectly and felt comforting after a stressful week. The Peanut Butter Slice was equally healing despite the calories! Love this place. Yum, yum

The food itself was amazing! We absolutely loved it! But… there was one person behind the counter that ruined our whole experience. She was very snappy and seemed very angry. She was young (looked about 19) and has clearly not been in customer service long and shouldn’t be working in hospitality.

The best breakfast rolls on the island. My husband is a very fussy eater, but could not find fault with his bacon and black pudding roll. It was the best ever.

We highly recommend Jamie’s. Staff are lovely and friendly and we’re pretty matching blouses! Their scones are fantastic. Great size and served warm which is how a scone should be served. Jam and butter with or without clotted cream They have a really good selection of home made cakes which are delicious My husband really likes their cappuccinos. The tea is served in a pot with lovely fine porcelain cup & saucer Lots of well spaced seating in the foyer area and tables inside as well Definitely worth a visit. Check opening times because they are not open Sundays or late in the day

Wonderful cafe for lunch. We had sweet potato soup and Cullen skink Both of which were really tasty. Really enjoyed this place and would highly recommend.

Came here after a long walk and we were happy to receive some delicious home baking! The soup and cheese scones were fab, just what we were after. There is option to sit inside or out. We sat inside where there is ample space to sit. Will defo return

The cakes and the service are the main reason we go to Janie's every time we leave the ferry. The quality of the food is amazing!!!! The staff are friendly and so lovely every time, and this place makes possibly the best coleslaw in the universe! Great variety of food choices too and they are able to work with allergies etc., Cannot wait to go back soon. Thank you for exceptional customer service some big named companies on the mainland could learn a thing or two.

The scones are fantastic with a wide range of ‘flavours’. They come with butter and jam and the option to have clotted cream. Really good cake. Victoria sponge was excellent. A really wide variety. Only downside is that they are not open on Sunday or Monday!

Lovely food, sensibly priced and good service. Ideally situated for us on our return from a long walk!

Janies is located in Brodick and is a lovely spot to stop at for a coffee and some home baking. We have visited several times and the soup as well as the cakes and tray bakes are absolutely delicious and super fresh! However, having said this, there have been numerous occasions when we have arrived and it has been closed (even in the summer). We have family on the island and visit frequently, always recommending places to friends, although on our last visit, the cafe closed early - despite us contacting them to check their opening hours and if we could pop by. Perhaps during the low season is it not worth being open the full day for a few cakes and coffees however it was disappointing especially since we had contacted them prior to arriving. Would love to visit again and hope to get lucky at a time they are open

Great lunch, friendly and helpful staff, lots of choice. Cakes to die for. Homemade soup (3 choices, 2 of them vegetarian), toasties, panini, baked potatoes, milkshakes, coffees, etc. highly recommend

Two trips in two days, came back hoping the Cullen Skink was still on and was not disappointed. Cakes are delish and there’s quite an array to choose from.

We randomly stopped here on a wet and cold day, and as a coeliac as I was only expecting to be able to have a wee cup of tea at best. To my surprise, all soups were gluten free, with gluten free bread, sandwiches and...

Nice welcome . Quick to serve us . Food well presented . My BLT 👍 son had the haggis toasted panini and really enjoyed it . Tea served in a proper teapot and cup . Huge selection of cakes and scones .

Great friendly staff and excellent food. Will definitely be back for another lunch. Thanks for the tourism tips and see you soon

Unfortunately not a fan of here. Unwelcoming staff and cold temperature. The food was ok but we had much better on the island elsewhere. The setting was very cute.

Homemade soup with plenty of vege options. ,The cream tea was lovely. Great little place with friendly service. Near the cheese shop and Arran aromatics.

We visited here and found our favourite soup by chance. It was the best we've ever tasted. Delicious cakes too. Love Arran 💘

We stopped for coffee and cake and decided to take away instead of sitting in. The staff was friendly and helpful. We noticed while we were waiting that the staff in the kitchen made a lot of noise while working with cutlery being thrown in...

Absolutely fantastic customer service despite being run off their feet. Lovely attention to detail with gorgeous teacups, great food and the most amazing coffee walnut cake I have ever had. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to this wonderful cafe.

Have visited numerous times throughout our trip to Arran and this cafe has been consistently great. Very friendly staff, great prices and great food. Would definitely recommend.

Great Afternoon Tea with cheese scones and homemade cakes. Great service and safe distancing. Highly recommended and hope to be back for lunch on our next trip to beautiful Arran. Thanks for the great work.

Lovely relaxed place to have a coffee and or lunch. Very friendly staff with lots of "home cooked" pastries etc. It's just down the road from the Goat Fell walk. After your resuscitation you then shop next door in the local Arran produce.

When in Brodick around morning coffee time Janie's is our go to cafe for our coffee. Very friendly service, good coffee and all home made cakes and scones. What more is there to want?

I have been going to Janie's for many years and cannot fault anything I have bought to eat. Everything is delicious and the staff are always friendly.

We stopped for lunch. The sandwiches were freshly made with generous fillings and served with a side of salad. The service was friendly and our food was promptly served. There was a good choice of cakes catering for various food tastes and ours were delicious. We also took scones home as takeaway. Overall we were very satisfied with our visit and felt COVID-safe.

This is a quirky little cafe which was recommend to us. It didnt disappoint, as the food was delicious and the cakes looked amazing.We ordered toasties thinking it would just be a small portion but it came with salad, tortilla chips and coleslaw which was very filling, so we couldnt fit a cake in but next time will definitely have to try one!

Visited for lunch straight off the ferry and a little queezy. Weather was bleak but that didn't deter from the lovely food at Janie's. Selection of soups served with a morning roll were all appealing but decided on the lightly spiced parsnip which was delightful. Followed up by some scones with Jam and clotted cream. The scones were warm and tasted great. Well done team!

Really lovely cafe with especially amazing cakes and very good hot chocolate! Really welcomed on a very wet day.

Stopped in here for some food after climbing goatfell, it was exactly what was needed! Fruit scones and homemade soup were delicious the strawberry milkshake was also lovely.

Delicious lunch for vegetarian daughter and I on two occasions. Imaginative fillings for sandwiches and bagels and oh the cakes and scones. Really good. Would thoroughly recommend.

Needed a cup of tea, and ended up having soup and a sandwich and a scone. Excellent! Not too expensive either.

Great application of restrictions maintaing distance and atmosphere. Lovely staff and excellent food/ coffee

We finally had lunch here on this trip to Arran (every other year it has always been too busy). We are very lucky to have got a table. The food was brilliant. The cullenskink soup went down a treat and the roasted vegetable toastie which I had was absolutely beautiful. We never sampled any cakes but they all looked delicious. Will just need to come back next year to have one The staff were all very friendly, and Covid aware (tables wiped down after every visit, track and trace details taken etc). Would definitely recommend visiting!

Staff and food, staff and food, staff and food, nuff said. I only wanted to say this once but Trip Advisor word (bean) counter - get a life man - says I need 100 characters before I can submit

Stopped for breakfast roll and tea coffee etc, and had homemade cakes for out subsequent local walk. Traditional cafe, everything you shoukd expect from home cooked produce. Staff very welcoming, and excellent service. Recommended.

We came a couple of times during our stay on Arran and every time the food, drinks and service was excellent. They were always very welcoming and friendly with some great tips for what to do during our stay. We’d happily come again!

We went to Janie’s for lunch this week, amazing food and service as always. Loved the bagel with avocado and the treacle scones were just fabulous!! Brilliant adaptations for covid - we felt very safe and looked after. Well done team Janie’s 💖

A prime spot on the road out of town offered a lot of potential but was a bit underwhelming.The staff were nice and friendly, oat milk was on offer (sadly unusual), and the coffee was ok.The Almond cake was a tad dry, and there was a general sense that the place needed a good clean (surprising given the current focus on cleanliness given COVID). The fake flowers on the window ledge had enough cobwebs to fill the ‘fly cemetery’ cake on offer. Having said that there were enough dead flies on the window ledge as it was. It wouldn’t take much to raise the overall experience a lot.

We were ignored at the door for five minutes before we gave up and left. It was cleraly busy, but there was no attempt to explain what was happening, whether there was a one way system or they were fully booked. Some customers just walked past us as if there was not a queue.

Popped in for a cuppa and sandwich and was amazed at the quantity and quality at such a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic staff. Cullens soup has to be the best I have ever tasted. Certainly will be back and will have to pester for there recipe.

Stopped here for tea and cake. Couldn't fault it; cakes were homemade (place has a past award for home cooking) and is well deserved. Would definitely recommend and if you want hot food choices these are available as well.

This was the second time my wife and I have eaten here. Food was amazing. We both had sandwiches and they were so tasty with plenty of filling. Right next to the Arran cheese shop so it’s got the perfect location.

My brother's favourite soup is Cullen skink and he has it everywhere he goes and this is by far the best he has ever had. Great value for money.

Don't just let the vegans enjoy the best chocolate cake. There are fantastic scones and other cakes to enjoy after you have enjoyed a fantastic toastie or panini.

We were at Arran Aromatics and looking for somewhere for lunch. We spied this place next door and the deal was sealed when people walked out with the most delicious smelling takeaway.Home cooked, wholesome food. Delicious soups and toasties. The traybakes looked to die for although we didn't get around to trying them.The shop was all decorated for Halloween.Nice to go to somewhere that isn't a chain and where the food is all homemade.The staff were happy to heat our baby meal for us and they had highchair too.

Wir waren auf unserem Rundtrip hier. Waren sehr nett empfangen worden und hatten leckere Sandwiches. Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Nettes kleines Café mit Stil und leckeren, frischen Speisen zu fairen Preisen.

We enjoy visiting Janie's for the variety of cakes and scones to go with our liquid refreshments. Friendly staff who work hard at busy times. Tea and coffee served in bone china cups - cakes on bone china plates !!

Visited for lunch with a friend. Soup was really nice and tasty. Coffee was great too. Had a good selection of gluten free cakes available. Looking forward to going back.

A really good cafe and you can visit the cheese and aromatics shops as well. Staff were friendly and a good stay.

Also a good place for a light lunch. Good creamy Cullen skink to be had here. Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable seating.

Really great coffee and a fabulous selection of scones and cakes at sensible prices. Very handy next to the island's cheese shop too!

Such a lovely little cafe . Staff were super friendly and the food especially the cakes were delightful.

Visited for coffees and milkshakes. Nice small cafe with a good range of cakes. Coffee is nice and strong - they use Thomson Coffee Roasters

Highly priced. I got a sausage bun (which I didn't expect to be Scottish square sausage) for the price I paid I expected a good quality sausage and butter on my bread. My friend got a fried egg roll, just an egg and a roll and paid nearly £3! £10 altogether for two drinks and two buns... Not worth it.

After arriving for our first trip to Arran Island we needed lunch. The soup looked great and I had Creme of tomato soup. Best ever. Highly recommended.

Stopped for lunch. Amazing sandwiches. Scones hard to beat lovely and crisp 9n outside soft and luscious on inside perfect Decent coffee too. Great other choices of home baking difficult to choose

Love this place. We stumbled in not sure what to expect but found a fantastic wee cafe with a great menu and friendly staff. The chicken and rice soup was incredible and with the sandwich combo was great value. Loved the China cup and saucer with my tea. Too full to have a cake so we will be back.

Hat a great place! Lovely panini, soups and cakes to die for! Excellent service, quick and courteous. We’ll be back!!

We called in for a snack on way to ferry......had toasties, coffee and scones, all delicious.....but, I have absolutely nothing against dogs, but NOT in eateries....man came in to order with a dog then sat outside with his family and proceeded to put dog on the table!!!! Doesn't matter if smallish dog it should not be on table......the staff were aware as they were served their order.....We would go back there but inside.....

Just popped in for a coffee and decided to have a cheese scone, best I have tasted with extra cheese on your plate! Yummy!

Just really good straightforward food and friendly service at fair price. Try the Cullen Skink soup!

Having stopped off for afternoon tea the previous afternoon I decided to drop in again for lunch today after a lovely walk around the bay. Homemade Cream of Tomato Soup with crusty bread and a pot of tea - just what I needed. Please, Please, Please if you feel you are able to divulge the soup recipe I'd love to take it back to Cornwall. Great food, great friendly service and worth a visit!

Four of us had a bite at Janie's before boarding the 1.30 pm ferry on our way home. We all had different orders but all agreed that we had been served was first class. I had Cullen Skink which I felt was particularly moreish and would recommend to anybody who likes fish.

We visited Janie's twice in 2 days! Such a lovely coffee shop, friendly staff and superb cake selection!

Called into this coffee shop while in Arran. It is truly unique. Janie the owner is amazing. She is so friendly and she knows everyone who comes into the shop. She was ably assisted by Stacey and both were a credit to the people of Brodick. The food is made on the premises from scones to soup and presented at the table with a warm and genuine smile. Great value for money. Menu is varied to accommodate all tastes. A must place to visit when in Brodick. Take a bow girls you are great ambassadors for Brodick and Scotland. Will be back for sure.

You can get coffee, cold drinks, lunch.and the fantastic sandwiches (hot or cold) plus homemade cakes and scones. Service is first class

Janie’s Is definitely something to write home about... wonderful homemade soups, sandwiches and baking. Staff are very friendly and great fun too. We have been going to this tea room for the past four years when we are on Arran and just love it. No visit to Arran is complete without a visit to Janie’s Tea room

Janie's is a decent stop for a caffeine hit, and to use some wifi, but don't get too excited. The menu is standard, prices as to be expected on a small island, staff are friendly enough, but there's nothing to rave about here. Gets the job done, won't break the bank.

Myself and my wife now have a tradition of hopping straight off the morning ferry and going to Janie’s for a breakfast roll. It’s small and cosy and the food is great. If you are looking for breakfast or lunch or just a coffee and a cake you should head here.

As it was mid January and very cold the four of us had morning coffee and scones inside Janie's (Arran Aromatics) and not in the covered courtyard. Inside was lovely and warm. It's small and there are only three or four tables. All the food served is freshly made on the premises including the cakes and scones. Initially we all thought that at £2 per scone it was quite expensive but when we had finished we all agreed that they were the best we had ever tasted. So much so that we bought another four to take away. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

A must stop place to visit, ideally situated next to Arran Aromatics with easy parking and accessible. Janies offers a varied menu with local produce from the Island. Beautiful homebaking and friendly services, good value for money. A popular place to visit. The homemade scones are delicious.

great pit stop for soup and a sandwich which are great value and well presented.Small but with seating in the covered courtyard and then wander the other delights in the complex.

It's not over-fancy but it's good value, easy to find and comfortable to sit in. This is the place for breakfast!
