May's Coffee Shop in Renfrewshire

very clean place and nice breakfast

First time here, won't be my last. A great selection of food, which you can mix and match, cooked perfectly. They do a beautiful Scottish breakfast

Flat white was perfect, food was great. Speedy service. Will come back if in the area.

Lovely cafe, food fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonable also 👍🏻

Edit to review below: In fairness I should have added that we have eaten in here before and had no complaints - with the service and food being pretty decent. In fact the service from the woman with the Eastern European (???) accent being particularly nice. Was probably just disappointed that the usual levels of service weren’t being maintained. Difficult to rate the food and atmosphere when you are refused service. Went into the cafe for takeaway food at 3.05pm after checking on google it’s closing time - shown as 4pm. Told that it’s cakes and coffees only as the kitchen was closed. When I asked what time the kitchen closed I was told ‘usually’ 3.15 ‘but the chef is tidying up and won’t do anymore food’. Pretty poor customer service. Some place just get custom far too easily and stop trying.

Lovely tidy cafe.Lunch was great,super friendly staff

Come here alot and food is always lovley and staff are fantastic

I came on Friday the customer service was amazing food came quickly and was delicious . The staff especially Tanya are incredibly welcoming and attentive . I highly recommend Mays coffee shop .

Always a cracking wee breakfast here 😁

Came for coffee and cake with husband and son. Told to take a seat but not told whether to order at table or counter. After ten minutes of being ready to order and no one coming we tried to order at the counter and was told they would come to the table. It took another good while for anyone to come over and take our order. Coffee and cake were fine but on service alone we won't be returning.

Breakfast with extra toast was spot on 😁👍🏻

Got the Soup ,lovely wish I'd got another bowl ,crusty bread or mini roll would have been better than bland white bread ,Coffee good will be back ,menu quite varied .

Great fayre serviced in a friendly atmosphere …would recommend to family and colleagues…Homemade soup was very good as was my Chicken/ chilli panini…

Surly staff, sticky dirty table. Very salty soup. Clean toilets.

The pancakes are a delight to enjoy.

Slow service although not busy. Staff surly . Soup poisoned with salt and yeuch . Hubby said lentil was ok. No warmth at all from waitress. Grubby table. Clean toilets. Would we go back? Most definitely not.

Excellent Food and Service. Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Waiting staff were attentive and very helpful. For a first time visit I was very pleased. Food freshly cooked and coffee excellent. Appeared to be very popular with locals and people passing through. Will be back.

I had never been in the area before, so after a Google map search for a cafe, we chose to go. we always stop off somewhere for bacon or blackpuding rolls & I have to say I enjoyed my brunch at May's the bacon & blackpudding rolls we had were delicious but 1 & 1/2 bits of blackpudding on such a large roll would have been better the coffee & fresh orange we had very good.

Really great coffee shop. The staff are absolutely lovely. The food and coffee are great.

Always good home cooked food, great service and well kept wee cafe. They like to vary the menu with some lovely specials. Some lovely cakes too. The pea and ham soup was awesome along with the ginger cake and rhubarb and cherry cake. You can if it’s a good place when it’s constantly busy.

Staff very friendly and the food was great

After grueling flight from states to Edinburgh, we needed a stop for food before our trek to hotel in Appin. We took the road to Bishopton in hopes of finding food and found May's. We were not disappointed. 6 famished Americans looking for good food and we found it here. Everyone left quite happy and ready for our drive. All the food we chose was excellent. More than one Wee Scottish breakfasts were served. Friendly staff and very helpful.

Enjoyable lunch - paninis on this occasion. Great selection on menu. Staff very pleasant and nice surroundings. We were sitting in and could see it was busy with takeaway orders too.

Such great staff. Amazing cakes and coffee. Will definitely be back.

Lovely little family run cafe. Friendly and homely with excellent service.

Always the highlight of our afternoon 😁

Fantastic cafe/takeaway The staff are very friendly and always offer a great service. Food is fantastic. The crispy bacon guy 😋

Excellent service. Staff pleasant & efficient. Relaxed atmosphere. Food served hot & nicely presented. 1st time visit. Will definatrly return & recommend to friends.

Lovely food. Kind staff. Peaceful.

1st time trying mays food was really fresh roasting hot 🔥 and served quickly a hidden jem 🙂

Nice local cafe. Always serves really good food and staff are very friendly.

Excellent coffee and cakes and friendly staff👍🏻

Just had a coffee and French toast which were delicious. The staff are lovely and friendly. Great place, highly recommended

Friendly little place with very nice staff

Had a lovely relaxed lunch. Food was great and service was excellent.

Live in the area and have been here a few times before, previously food was poor and cold and the staff were not that friendly, quite cheeky to be honest. A number of months have passed and thought I’d give it another go but let down and I must say their prices are a bit on the steep side. Ordered a wee breakfast £6 (yea £6 I couldn’t believe it) and had an allergy therefore asked for them to change an item. Waited 15 minutes for takeaway and got home a few minutes later to find the food stone cold and the item had been removed but not replaced with my alternative I had requested. So I payed £6 and was short changed. Avoiding forever now. No more chances

Excellent breakfast and drinks. Staff were a++. Would definitely go there again to try dinner

Lovely café with delicious cakes and awesome empire biscuits.

Great place for a bite to eat and quick coffee stop. The owner is a super friendly and welcoming and looked after us very well. Delicious coffee and apple pie, too! Thanks!

Nice local cafe, friendly staff and good food.

Arrived at 12:15 and asked to wait outside whilst they cleaned a table. 12:20 seated at an extremely sticky table, (omg now I remember why I never came back here) so much so we asked for napkins to place under our arms to prevent damage to sleeves , placed order. Cutlery and water delivered to table at 12:25. Busy chatting to my friend when we realised no food had arrived by now it is 13:15, we asked one of the girls if we could expect food! WTH, girl approaches to say that she is sorry but she forgot to place the order and it will be a further 10 mins, EH! No thank you. Now the place was busy but not to full capacity, avoid!

A regular coffee stop for me. Great service, lovely food and friendly, welcoming staff.

Very reasonable prices and the ladies serving are lovely and superbly mannered. 6 of us had most things on the menu and food was great as well. Well done May’s team

Good quality food and reasonable prices.

Lovely polite staff and very good tea.

Order was going to take an hour & a half to come & I couldn’t wait that long as I had errands to run. Contacted them & they said nothing could be done as refunds go through just eat & very rude staff. Not happy at all with the customer service & lost out on £13. Will definitely not be back.

This coffee shop is a delight to visit. Perfect place to call in with a toddler after a local library session! The staff are kind, very professional and go out of their way to make customers welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you all of you. Oh and it is also scrupulously clean. Well done. The scones are hot, freshly made and delicious.

Love this coffee shop , unfortunately they didn't have any Gluten free cakes or scones , settled for toast .

Really great little place, food, service, coffee and price were all excellent

Very nice coffee shop with good choice of different lunch meals at reasonable price. Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. Will defo come back.

Staff friendly and efficient. Food and service very good. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous breakfast. Asked for paninis to take away and have later for lunch and they were equally good. Very happy, thank you.

Good Gluten free selection, however recently it seems like the food standards have dropped a wee bit with soup being dissapointing past 3 times.

Just as good as it was afore covid. Warm friendly service; food great. Nice to sit in again too.

Ģreat place to go . Friendly service, the breakfast is a must, my wife had poached eggs on toast. Spotlessly clean, tables and chairs wiped down. If your going through Bishopton it's a must to visit. 🐻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄

A nice cafe with good selection of homemade soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes etc. Very clean and well spaced for social distancing. Lovely empire biscuits!

Ordered afternoon tea for 4 people, given options are limited with lockdown. I must thank the staff at May’s for the most amazing effort - I am so grateful to them. It was all carefully packaged to take home. Everything was fresh, tasty and as I had ordered. The selection of sandwiches, wraps, mini quiches were perfect and the sweet selection of chocolate cake, apple slices, lemon drizzle loaf, fresh cream Victoria sponge and fruit scones with butter, jam and clotted cream were equally impressive. It really was a lovely surprise actually to receive such great quality takeaway tea for such value for money. I highly recommend this wee gem.

Nice roll and sausage. Will try the cakes next time.

Ordered an afternoon tea for a special occasion and the quality was outstanding - would definitely be back again

Stopped for a hot chocolate and a roll with square sausage and potato scone. Good prices and tasted great. Chocolate was particularly good.

Not bad, cold be better, cheap sausage used

Despite the restrictions this cracking little cafe continues to survive as a takeaway. Had a lovely roll to take away at lunchtime

We have just had a delicious lunch delivered from May's. Toasties with generous fillings and soup. Well packaged and delivery time was spot on. Empire biscuits were amazing. Recommended and look forward to you opening again.

Great wee coffee shop . Really good quality of food and coffee . Doing a fantastic job just now during covid restrictions lock down .

My daughter organised an afternoon tea for us. It was delicious. Thank you

Okay place, wasn't best pleased with the square sausage, or that it cost me 90p to add one piece of bacon to my sandwich

Unfortunately not enough staff for how busy it is. The coffee is good as are the toasties. But when there are lots of take away orders, saying "sorry, I'm too busy" is not an excuse to not make our sit in coffees after taking our order. We left this morning, 15 minutes after our order was taken without getting our coffee. Its not the girl's fault. Perhaps you should have more people out front? One on take aways and one on sit in orders? I've been before when one girl struggled to keep up with it all, meaning there were lots of tables that still had used dishes and cups on them, with a growing queue for a free table.

Always great latte and cake stop when out cycling

Slow when waiting for order ,food ok

Need more staff out front. 3 in the back one out front trying to manage loads of customers for sit in and takeaway. Even if they helped clear the tables which had customers food still on it after they had been away for over an hour.

Excellent, good big pots of tea and very nice panini, decent prices and pleasant helpful , efficient service. Recommended.

Busy wee place. One girl serving today. Very pleasant and very organised. Tables placed for social distancing and hand wash on all. Ordered tea and paninis..... Delicious!!!

Lovely local cafe with delicious cakes !

Good food before you get back on the motorway.

Good hearty snacks and cracking coffee.

placed an order through just eat , completely wrong order delivered , must be someone else's . attempted to call 30 times for them to take the phone off the hook where I can continuously hear folk giggling and talking. il be in for a full refund with your order.

Nice and clean good social distance between tables, but not much choice in cakes and a little to expensive, but staff very polite, went as. A. One off when in the area

Clean and friendly and nice food

Amazing service, breakfast was lovely and fresh and one of the rolls was forgotten and they came back and delivered it plus 4 lovely cupcakes too make up for the error within 15 minutes!

Okay due to covid 19 its take away only with a reduced menu . However the quality is still the same . Last visit I ordered their wee Scottish breakfast and it was superb . Also their raspberry coconut cake something else .

This fan local business was forced to close during Covid 19 but has managed to reopen for takeaway. Great food and great service continues.

Came across this lovely coffee shop by accident. Nice selection of cakes and the coffee was nice too. Would recommend.

Tend to drop in here at the weekends to enjoy a cooked breakfast . Good atmosphere , courteous service and although the menu isn’t extensive the food on offer if really good. Handy location for the shops and school in Bishopton . Great wee local business .

First time visit on a miserable Monday. Warm and friendly welcome, bright and fresh decor. Busy for take out orders, as well as table service, the team managed well, prompt, organised service. Lots of choice on the menu, excellent value for money. We ordered soup and sandwiches, two soup choices available, everything home made and tasty, washed down with a huge pot of tea for 2. Thoroughly recommend Mays Coffee Shop and look forward to our next visit. Its obvious the team at Mays care about your experience and are clearly proud of their service. Well done, wishing you good times ahead for 2020

Only in for coffee and cake out on bike , cyclist friendly which is good to know

Expensive little place with crabbit staff serving .WONT be back

Nice little coffee shop. Was very busy when I arrived but quickly emptied out as tables cleared. Had coffee and doughnut was nice and would return if passing through Bishopton.

Very tasty breakfast, good service, reasonably priced.

Lovely. Food excellent, great value. Fresh pancakes, loose leaf tea & all day breakfast. If i could rate 10 stars I would. Helpful & friendly staff, WiFi, and they do Doggy Wednesday :) will definitely be a regular, best pancakes ever :) great service with a lovely history x

Ordered a sausage and tattie scone roll and lentil soup with a piece of white bread well what can you say the slice was cooked to perfection the soup was lovely and the bread to dip in was somehow even better than I've had else where will be stopping in for more next time I'm in the area.

Good local coffee shop, light and airy if a little cramped when full - but that's the price of being good! Coffee is excellent blend, and the selection of scones and cakes varies. The food is well and freshly prepared - recommend the soups! (or the Wee Scottish breakfast yum)

Nice friendly atmosphere young staff smiling and pleasant .We went late in the day so unfortunately not much choice left in the cake department , but there is usually a nice selection of lovely home made cakes available and the paninas and toasties are delicious 😘

Very very disappointed!!! We have been to May’s Coffee Shop before, it’s nice enough, nothing massively exciting and nothing I felt I had to write a review about until now. The first impression of the place today was poor. We arrived and where told just to have a seat by a young blond girl leaning on the till, no hello, or pleasant welcome, just told to sit, so we did, at a table that was less than clean, and that we had to wipe ourselves. This wasn’t just the previous persons crumbs this was hardened on food that clearly had been there a while, and as we where there before lunch time and it wasn’t busy it’s my feeling it had probably been there days. We placed our order and had our drinks brought to us on an absolutely filthy tray and where given napkins and cutlery. The cutlery was dirty as was one of the napkins and the top of the tea pot. The place in general was filthy. There was crumbs all over the seats, down they back that had obviously not been hoovered in a long time and stuff all over the floor that both members of staff walked passed numerous times and made no attempt to clean up. The food is just ok, it’s nothing spectacular, so that was fine. We had decided to finish our tea and hot chocolate with a cake however the girl serving us came no where near us again but was quite content leaning against the till area chatting, almost the whole time we where there. Despite sitting for a considerable time with finished dirty plates on the table no one came anywhere near us again so we decided to leave without placing any further order as by that time we had become annoyed by the attitude of staff. As we paid the same filthy tray we had been served on was right there, next to the till, ready to be used again, still covered in what appears to be days worth of drinks. Having lived in Bishopton my whole life I have seen coffee shops come and go, this one is no better than the others but what let’s this one down most of all today was the cleanliness and it’s the girl who served us who was inattentive, personality-less and rude. This absolutely wasn’t a pleasant experience so I don’t feel I’d be hurrying back any time soon. It has been mentioned about the poor attitude of the staff before in reviews, no smile or shown to seat ect, it’s maybe time to have a wee chat with staff.

Good rolls, friendly staff just gotta get in before the builders or you'l be waiting a while

Lovely fresh scone, great coffee, fabulous staff

Friendly staff and lovely food. This is a great café to pop in for breakfast or lunch or even takeaway. Great cappuccinos

Always great to pop in for a late breakfast or a bit of lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend scrambled eggs and toast.

Great food especially the hot rolls. The pancakes are very good also and it’s tempting to have both rolls and the pancakes. Good speedy table service also. Give it a try.

Very reasonable prices good food and clean

Good rolls, fresh cakes. However £1.40 for cup of milky tea to go? Come on.
