Jinty-B's Cakes & Tearoom in Dumfries & Galloway

Just had lunch at Jinty-B's in Thornhill, Dumfriesshire. Gorgeously quirky, comics wallpapering the cafe, great home-made toasties & cake, hot tea & coffee & everything is immaculate. Perfect for family groups & very dog friendly.

The service, welcome and lunch was spot-on as usual. There has never been a time when we've been disappointed with our lunch or the fab cakes. Jinty and her friendly staff are an asset to the village.

The welcome was incredibly friendly and our dogs were given lots of fusses and some treats. The lorne sausage rolls were amazing! Fab decor, spotlessly clean, brilliant value. Absolutely loved our visit.

What a find! We were travelling down to Dalbeattie for the night and looking for somewhere to have lunch. We had decided against quite a few places and, as it was past 2 'o clock, we were getting hungry. We saw the colourful flags outside Jinty B's and stopped. We got such a genuinely warm and friendly welcome from Jinty and her friend and enjoyed the amusing decor while waiting for our meal. We didn't have to wait long for our delicious food - the best ever bacon brie & cranberry and fish sandwiches, both with a green salad and coleslaw. Followed up with a slice of very good gluten-free chocolate cake which miraculously didn't taste of cardboard! The place was spotless and I highly recommend it.! I watched other customers and everyone was equally happy. Lovely place!

We often stop off in Thornhill on our way to Ayrshire from North Yorkshire, and Jinty B’s is our usual cafe of choice. It is a clean and tidy wee cafe with a good selection of hot and cold meals and snacks; and they also have a fine choice of scones and cakes. This time we only wanted coffees which were very good - but very strong, and our request for some extra hot milk was dealt with in a very friendly manner - because service here is always top class!

From first walking in this fab cafe , my friends and I had great service from Hayley and I think Jenna , sorry if I got your name wrong! 😊 Service was friendly and fast . Food was delicious 😋 and we all had something different .. well worth a visit , it you are in thornhill 🤩

Called in here after a toddler date at Drumlanrig Castle with our Grandson Very friendly attentive and nice food Finlay loved his sausage and chip chips Thank you

I have travelled extensively in this area of Scotland and simply have not experienced a café that comes even close. Jinty Bs is set on a lovely High Street location in Thornhill town which has sufficient parking even outside the door of the café, if you are lucky The café is lovely inside with some quirky attention to detail touches. The toilet facilities are absolutely spotless and the layout in general within the café is very comfortable. Now the food WOW, everything is freshly made from the Breakfasts, Lunches, Soups and an extensive range of Paninis etc. They have a SPECIALS Board every day and it would be beyond me if you cant find something of your taste. The Coffee is quality served in lovely mugs or cups and the cake display is so tempting LOL. Janet herself is so attentive and welcoming and Liz the assistant supervisor and waitress has a wicked sense of humour and also being a local lady provides great advice to visitors of what the Town has to offer. I attended today with my Mother as a treat for Mothers Day and she thought it was just lovely. There was also a fellow called HAROLD who was a complete Character with a smile who I think maybe helps the staff within the Café . Just a brilliant wee place to go and enjoy lovely food and Coffee and you can PAY CASH which is so reassuring in this fast moving world that ceases to slow down. Till next time Kind Regards AlanJackson

Honestly this is mine and my fiancé’s favourite date spot! We get to take our dog and the staff are all incredibly friendly!

Amazing!! Fresh, tasty food with amazing friendly service. If you want to eat fantastic food in a spotlessly clean environment - visit this little gem of a place. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Terrible service, followed up by uncalled for nastiness from owner when giving an honest review on Facebook. The thread got personal with attacks towards me, is disgusting way to behave and only shows how insecure and deluded and lacking in professionalism on the part of the owner. I would not recommend this place. Is rude, overpriced, poor wifi, and no I did not enjoy the experience, a cafe that won’t accept bank cards in this day and age is laughable.

Lovely place with great cakes. Staff were very friendly, especially to our dog, offering him lots of biscuits

Fantastic wee place! Stopped here during a long drive for lunch. Had great soup and paninis, fresh cakes, lovely service and free wifi. It’s a wee gem of a place ☺️

This very friendly tearoom in the middle of Thornhill is not to be missed. From the tasty and varied menu, prompt service and super food the 7 of us were made to feel very welcome. Dogs allowed too! Cash only but cashpoint just around the corner. Jinty and Hayley do a superb job!

Lovely cafe. Warm and friendly greeting. The lady was willing to make me a macchiato (not on her drinks menu), which was very kind of her. The food was excellent and generous portions. Homely and comfortable. Clear signage that it is a cask only café. Thanks for a great brunch!

Stopped for a coffee as my dad called me Jinty B so had to.visit while in area quirky place loved all the old comics on the walls Lady serving was very friendly ordered coffees which were served quickly nice a d hot would recommend a visit if in the area

Friendly staff but prices high. A latte and a black americano and two tea cakes ( they didn’t have any scones) was over £15.

What is there not to like about Jinty B's? We got a warm welcome from Haley and Megan, who were cheery, friendly, and helpful. We opted for a soup n sandwich combo, which was good value for money, and I followed it up with a fruit slice with my coffee. As we were on a local run out we asked Haley to recommend a walk after our meal. On her advice we went to Crawick Multiverse near Sanquhar and had a really interesting visit, the last time we'd been there was 6 years ago! We thoroughly recommend Jinty B's, which is just down from the Cross on the main road in Thornhill. Whilst not as evident as other cafes, it's well worth seeking out. One tip......don't ask Haley for her autograph as she won't sign on behalf of Scarlett Moffet!

Fantastic food & tea on offer here, with a relaxed atmosphere & very friendly staff. If ever you are passing through Thornhill, I highly recommend staying here for lunch!

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Thornhill, pleasant spot for a bite and very busy. Food was good and great service.

Delicious bacon and egg roll in lovely surroundings at a reasonable price

Just stopped off on the way home.What a lovely find.Really enjoyed our breakfast and friendly hard working ladies.Such an unusual bathroom too and everything you may need.Thank you all.

First class cafe. The girls were so friendly and worked tirelessly to look after everyone. Did a motorbike run from Glasgow to get some lunch and ended up in Thornhill. Glad we did. We will be back, especially for lunch. 10/10

Great food and service. Look going there for a treat.

Have been here a couple of times and have enjoyed each visit . Have sampled coffee , scones and cake . All have been very good . Atmosphere is good and you are made to feel welcome. Several customers seemed to be regulars and that says a lot . Will visit again for sure .

Just had lunch in this lovely little cafe. The staff were very cheery and helpful, which makes a refreshing change! The cafe was spotless and the food was homemade, tasty and served very quickly. The cakes looked amazing too, but sadly we were too full after our lunch! Would highly recommend.

Went for coffee & cake. We had scones & toffee cake both delicious. Coffee strong but I had extra milk, so you can dilute to taste. Would recommend 🥧☕

A treasure find driving through Thornhill. Leave your diets. & calorie counting at the door as the cakes are first class. The ladies who run it are lovely & welcoming, the place is spotless and a delight to spend an hour or so over a cuppa. We'll worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

We love stopping off here on our way back home! The staff are so friendly and cheerful - nothing any bother. And they welcome dogs too! Fab cakes and gorgeous soup - everything good and home-made. Thanks, Jinty&Co! dogs too

Excellent eatery , delish home baking too . Janet and her staff are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful food, amazing cakes. Been before and still a great experience. Staff friendly and place clean.

Very friendly staff, welcomed me and my wee nervous border collie in and fed her treats until they were friends. Quick service, lovely coffee and cake and reasonably priced.

Nice haggis roll and a variety of cakes

Excellent find as we were only passing through, lovely café selling gorgeous food and cakes. Lovely staff and very dog friendly.

Delicious lunch, very friendly staff, it was our first visit and can’t wait to go back to try the cakes, they look amazing

What a place! Blueberry scone, yum, egg and bacon roll, yum, haggis roll, soft white baps, what's not to like.

Really nice and friendly food good usual sandwiches and paninis

A perfect place for lunch. Very friendly and a good menu choice. We noticed some people buying cakes to have later in the day - what a great idea

We called I here for a quick coffee and a chunk of cake. I had cake Amy wife had the soup of the day which she tells me was amazing. The cake was lovely and the service was ace. If you are I. The area its well worth calling in to sample their fab food.

Amazing cake and great service.

My Mum and I visited this lovely wee café today for lunch. The two ladies who served us were wonderfully friendly and helpful, which only added to the appealing atmosphere. I had the toasted bagel with cream cheese and smoked ham. This was excellent and full of flavour. The portion size was large (small portions are offered) and it came with a fresh side salad and home-made coleslaw - the coleslaw was so good that we asked to buy some to take away, however, the owner generously gave us a large coffee cup full for free! I had a cappuccino with my meal and it was also superb, topped off with whipped milk and served with a small coffee biscuit. My Mum had a soup combo (sweet potato and tomato soup with an egg-Mayo roll) and a small pot of ginger and lemon tea. She loved it. We also bought some jam, shortbread, and a Rocky-Road cake - all excellent. Value for money, and a service with a smile, all in a quirky and spotlessly clean wee place. Perfect. We will hopefully be back soon.

Just had lunch in here today .I asked for a baked potato and when my order cameI could hardly find the baked potato for the very large slices of Brie x 3 Rashers or crispy bacon x 2 on top of it ,with the chutney on the side .as wellAs salad and homemade. Coleslaw. What a really beautifulAnd filling lunch .great coffee too.aswell as very nice staff .fab place .

We stopped off here on way to NC 500. It was so good we had to stop on the way back. Bikes can be parked right outside . Fantastic breakfast and beverages! Lovely friendly welcome. Haste ye back. Best hand gel dispenser yet!

As we squinted our eyes through the window Jinty came out to greet us and offered to set up a table outside for 5 of us and that was the start of a great 45mins as we stopped off for breakfast on our all day cycle.Great food, great chat and wonderful service was the nature of the day.You can’t beat a great roll on bacon and that’s exactly what we got !There’s nothing fake about Jinny, her daughter and here lovely tearoom and we’ll definitely drop in again.

The food was excellent, what an amazing range of fantastic cakes, including gluten free. Friendly service too. Will be coming back.

Food is excellent as is coffee & tea Staff very friendly & helpful Well worth a visit for breakfast lunch or afternoon tea .

Very friendly place, well worth a visit. We called in just for a cuppa but made very welcome.

Excellent place to eat lovely atmosphere very helpful staff coffee nice, clean smooth service very little waiting time

Excellent bacon roll and coffee this morning! And, most importantly for me now is that it's dog friendly, so Edie can join me 🐶😊

A jewel in the crown. After 5 days of travelling in Scotland we came across this brilliant tearoom. It was just what we wanted, very welcoming and COVID safe. My wife and I enjoyed our coffee’s and food. There was a great selection of cakes, rolls etc and we were impressed on the attention from the staff. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Delicious food thats good value. Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere.

Dropped in today while visiting a local tourist attraction and we couldn’t have been more warmly welcomed. The staff were great and we were able to have a lovely chat in a relaxed atmosphere ( with covid19 social distancing in place). The food was delicious and as you can see by the picture the cakes are yummy too. Especially liked the hand sanitizer on each table in a reused gin bottle lol!

Lovely clean welcoming cafe and I'd recommend the bbq pulled pork panini, side salad and homemade coleslaw. You won't be disappointed! Safe measures in place.

Running late, called in with BB. Excellent service, always with a smile. Great banter and food was delicious 😘 freshly prepared and lots of it.

Popped in for a late lunch and got everything we could wish for Covid compliant, welcoming staff and good food with a sense of humour!

Enjoyed our breakfast and Jinty was very welcoming and friendly. Place was spotless.

Thanks for a great welcome today from the Reiver Riders motorcycle group. Great service along with good selection of cakes a coffee.

We stopped here while out for a drive, it was very nice staff attentive and helpful, done the track and trace procedure. We only had tea and scones with jam and clotted cream, the scones were huge, they had the normal selection for a tearoom. We used their toilet which had all the info regards hand washing/sanitising procedure and was very clean. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Today we visited this tea room and we had a really lovely time. It was the first inside meal we have had since a bit before lockdown. There is a large hand Sanitizer on each table and both the ladies were super lovely and were very attentive seeing to you at your table - we were asked for our track and trace details within minutes. We also took our 5 month old and was able to fit the buggy around the table with us. I am coeliac (ie I require gluten free food) and was able to order a toasted panini - it was lovely and I felt in safe hands as when I asked queries they were either answered easily or thoroughly checked. I was also able to have a lemon roulade for dessert which I must say might be the nicest I have ever had! Thank you for making our first trip out easy and enjoyable - we were very grateful!

Lovely and cosy tea room and the service was amazing. Will be coming back again!

Safe place, clean and sanitised frequently, friendly service. Both lunches were very tasty with plenty if it and nicely presented. And the cakes are to die for!

Jinty's re-opened this week domthis was out first visit since lockdown. Wonderful to get back to the usual friendly welcome and have a tasty lunch. We felt very comfortable there with the social distancing, sanitizer on each table and by the counter etc. As ever, highly recommended.

Lovely place for coffee and cake or lunch. Great choice of food and very pleasant service. They're very kind to dogs too! 🤗

Jinty and her staff run a fantastic little cafe in Thornhill. Good traditional menu which will not disappoint whether lunching or simply enjoying a good coffee and a home baked cake or biscuit. Best coffee in Thornhill.Warm and cosy. Staff welcoming and personable.Cannot fault it.

Lovely wee place to stop, yummy food, great cakes, friendly service and absolutely spotless. Thanks girls, refuelled for the rest of our journey.

We had excellent soup and scones for lunch in this quirky cafe in the main street through Thornhill. Lovely friendly staff, too. Fans of DC Thompson comics will love the decor.

Amazing staff very friendly and welcoming and very chatty food is phenomenal even if u ask for the bacon cremated got a look but was excited lol 😂 and a great place to stop in on a bike ride 101% recommend this cafe.

Was in this morning for breakfast while waiting on the bus and had lovely chat with the friendly owner and was in the festive spirit with her crazy hat the tearoom was so clean and tidy highly recommend

Good solid food at a reasonable price. Decor is a little bit quirky and service is friendly. Soup was very hot.

A busy night in the village with late night shopping being on, the tea room was very busy but we still got excellent service and the Christmas cake was delicious, staff were all in good festive cheer and added to the fun night in the village

This is easy to find, just near the bank. Good coffee fabulous home made cake choices and delightfully polite and helpful staff even when busy. A vintage, quirky vibe. Named after the girls’ comic. Makes it a very cheerful place to visit on a dreicht day.

This was a great little tearoom very busy on day we came. They did a great couple of Gluten free Paninis served with great fillings if you have a Coeliac in the family you could do a lot worse and pay a lot more. Very good selection of Gluten free , all sandwiches came with generous side salad an coleslaw. The old comics on the walls as decoration are great fun. I had the chicken chorizo and cheese Sandwich (with chilli) inspired and minestrone soup was a great combo Good coffee to boot.

Lunch Today was once again 1st class ,the quality tells by the number of customers and the staff are always very good

Lovely late lunch, crab and prawn open sandwich to die for and brilliant coffee, staff were fantastic 😆 will return

Had a lovely cappuccino and sausage on a roll at Jinty’s! Staff and food excellent will definitely be back even our wee dog enjoyed the visit

Made very welcome with our well-behaved if muddy dog! Really good coffee and great cake selection. Will be back

Nice place with pleasant friendly service. Quite small though. Coffee was quite weak but adequate. Nice range of cookies and traybakes. Light lunches available. Not fancy, but fine. Comic-themed wall coverings are fun

Lovely food and drink and great service at a reasonable price. Had a breakfast roll which was delicious!

How great to find such an excellent tearoom in such a small village. Had a light lunch with a beautifully prepared baked potato, but the filling of Crab and Prawn was amazing! Only discovered it by accident as traffic had been diverted through Thornhill.

Enjoyed another visit to Jinty B’s tearoom this afternoon. Fab food yet again, lovely soup and panini’s - and even better cakes!! Definitely be back soon! Thanks to Janet and staff for great service as always

Busy as always but service and standard of food excellent, lentil soup was the best i have had in a longtime tasty and piping hot,

A wee gem! Wonderful food and great service...a lovely quirky atmosphere with copies of The Beano to browse while you eat...well worth a visit..

Great wee place. Might even find a way to go off-route on my way back south.

The overall excellent standard for food at Jinty-B's is well known. However, this cheesecake is superb. Look out for it.

Absolutely delightful. Lovely welcome, fantastic food. And wait until you see & taste the homemade cakes.

Discovered Jinty-B's by chance passing through Thornhill after a disastrous hotel stay in Dumfries (more to follow watch this space) ....this delighted little teashop is a gem...food was great and the staff really friendly couldn't recommend more highly

When you pull up in a strange place, it's always a risk as to what you will find as it was here. What we found was a very nice little place providing an excellent quiche and salad served by a pleasant young lady. On the wall is a model of a tank engine called Jinty. The owner told me that she is called Janet but known as Jinty and that a regular customer gave to to her. Lucky she didn't slap him as being likened to a tank engine is not what most woment would crave!!

Visited Jinty-B’s tearoom today for afternoon tea with my family. There was 5 of us and we could not finish everything. Beautiful selection of sandwiches, tray bakes, cakes and scones with jam & cream. Also a drink of choice for only £6.50 pp. Excellent value for money and great atmosphere with friendly staff.

Stopped in with my wife for a quick snack, both had a cheese, ham n onion panini, was very nice and was a surprisingly large panini. Wish we had tried the cakes as they looked lovely, but was rather full after the large panini! Would visit again.

Popped in for a coffee and scone, best treacle scone I’ve had , staff as usual were very friendly and a great atmosphere as usual

A great local tea room with very friendly staff. All the food is freshly prepared. Today I had a coronation chicken open sandwich followed by the best cake ever a scrumptiously delicious sticky toffee fudge cake. This is a place not to miss, can’t wait to go again!

What a wee Gem , great service and the best scones and shortbread by miles , we will be back ,

Had a great afternoon at Jinty-b’s! Coffee, cake and a good catch up with friends!! Great choice and excellent service!! 👍

Called in for afternoon coffee could not resist some mouthwatering Chocolate covered Orange cake was delicious and my wife chose Home made Raspberry Tart which was also outstanding. Food is always first class and staff very friendly and helpful Highly recommend this Tearoom

We are regular visitors to Jinty B's, the staff are always friendly and helpful and the atmosphere welcoming. The food is fresh, delicious and good value. I have a sweet tooth and have to confess that I can never leave without having one of the wonderful homemade cakes. We always recommend Jinty B's to friends or colleagues who haven't been before.

Went to Jinty-Bs. Awful experience! Only vegan thing on the menu was lentil soup. Soup was very salty in my opinion. Lovely waitress asked if “everything was OK?” I replied no the soup was too salty. Owner was not happy and asked the women on the next table if their soup was salty! Attempted to speak with her and say I had only answered a question and that I didn’t think it was appropriate to behave in that way. She was rude and confrontational! Worst lentil soup in Scotland. Although sandwiches that my friend’s had looked great and fresh, and the cafe was warm on a cold bank holiday!

A very friendly tea room that serves the best cake, scones and lunches in the region, the tea room is s credit to its owner and staff and highly recommend a visit

This wee tearoom is a must for a visit, homemade food cakes and desserts in a warm welcoming environment with helpful friendly staff whether you travel to or are just passing through it’s worth the stop 👌👌

Soup sandwich combo extremely tasty.Meringues to die for. Service 1st class even though they were very busy

Re-visited Jinty's on Saturday. This friendly little restaurant provides a welcome stop for coffee, tea or more. Food is excellent, had delicious blueberry scones and bakewell tarts. Staff delightful.
