No.3 in South Ayrshire

We recently visited The strawberry Cushion in Troon. WE were greeted warmly upon our arrival. We were seated promptly. The service was exceptional. Our server was pleasant, polite and informative. Our lunch was served quickly and the lentil soup was to die for. Everything we ordered was tasty and warm.

Visited The Strawberry Cushion late morning. It was extremely busy but a very pleasant lady asked us to wait a few minutes while she cleared a table for us. Coffee and cakes were delicious. Extensive menu, very reasonably priced. Lovely clean cafe with friendly, helpful staff.

Just visited this cafe today and thought the broccoli and cauliflower soup sounded good,so that’s what I ordered,Big Mistake! It was awful,really thick and tasteless apart from the really spicy kick which must have been pepper or chilli,I only had a couple of spoons and had to leave the rest. The waitress asked how our food was and I replied I couldn’t eat it and explained why,she said their soup was always thick and if I’d mentioned it she would have thinned it down for me,(sounded even less appealing) I also had to pay for it,needless to say,I won’t be back.

Always look forward to visiting The Strawberry Cushion when I'm in Troon. Today we had the apple slice, scone herbal tea and milk shake very nice and value for money pleasent staff nice atmosphere always busy would definitely recommend a visit.

The Strawberry Cushion, formally No 3 cafe as listed here. Is a true gem of place. It’s a well laid out little cafe with a glorious display of cakes at its heart to tempt you! All the staff are always lovely and pleasant, always taking the time to ensure your every need is met. Their recently new menu has went down a treat, they provide a wide selection of cafe favourites - panini’s, sandwiches, soup etc to please any hungry customer. They also have more hearty meals like delicious mac n cheese and pastas which are always served to a high standard. After a lunch, a cake is a must. The selection of homemade tray bakes, baking and scones is extensive, plus there is always seems to be another mouthwatering creation on each visit! There is always something to accompany their wonderfully crafted coffee. I believe they have an award dedicated to their coffee. All of this in a friendly relaxed clean atmosphere combined with the incredibly reasonable prices (a nearby cafe was charging almost triple for the same products!) makes it’s a returning favourite for us. Wether your passing for the first time or a regular you’ll never regret stopping in! Keep up the good work.

We visited the Strawberry Cushion for brunch on Saturday. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating or friendly. The full Scottish Breakfast is a must, it was delicious. I would definitely recommend for both excellent food and service. The cakes looked amazing too, but I was too full to have one.

Came in for lunch after enjoying a coffee and delicious scone a week ago. Place was not so busy yet service was slow, staff not so friendly, and waited 35 minutes to be served tasty macaroni cheese. Would come back but please improve your service.

We visited the strawberry cushion for lunch some time ago and loved it. Thought we'd conduct our own market research comparing all the coffee shops in Troon. Though all good nowhere compares to here!!! The food, staff and service is second to none! The home baking looks amazing too!

Gran desayuno! Desayuno muy rico, de lo mejor de la zona. Tomamos french toast y un crossant. Ademas hay dulces caseros muy ricos!!!!!!

Visited for the first time when visiting friends in Troon ...what a find... lovely cafe great food and cakes friendly staff will definitely be back highly recommend

Stopped for a very late lunch and enjoyed a delicious, filling sandwich. Freshly cut and, served with tasty trimmings, and a smile. The coffee was lovely too.

If you visit Troon and are looking for a place to have a nice quiet lunch then the no3 cafe now known as the strawberry cushion is the place to visit. This great cafe has a fantastic choice of wraps, paninis and other small dishes to have. The staff are superb and always make you feel welcome. I would also recommend the home baking. It is sooo yummy!!

Stopped here for lunch last week and wasn't disappointed. Restaurant is small but food is fresh and made to order. Staff were so friendly and it was very clean and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

Visited on a busy bank holiday and by 1 pm they had run out of rolls. Who could have predicted it would be busy on a sunny bank holiday. Overheard another customer replying to the question" Are you going anywhere?" With the reply " yes to somewhere to get something to eat , only my coffees arrived but not my food order." My food order included tortillas chips which is technically correct as there were 3 which is plural and more than 1!

After taking the kids for a walk along the beach we stopped off hear (now The Strawberry Cushion) for a warm coffee before heading home. Great service from our waitress who convinced us to have a scone of the day, white chocolate and raspberry, and boy was it good, if anything not big enough to share with my wife. Kids enjoyed their tray bakes and hot chocolates, and what looked like all home made goodies in the counter as well as the shelf of goodies on the way out, we have defo found our new destination to top off our next day out.

Myself and two friends stopped here for coffee. It was lovely and clean place. The staff were nice. Would recommond it to other people.

Had a good look around the town and this cafe has a comfy and relaxed look with a simple and attractive menu. On the small side however table spacing is fine and a relaxed atmosphere pervades. Service was very good - prompt, selective and friendly. Prices were good and they are enthusiastic about the quality of the service they provide.

called here for a brew, cafe was lovely, clean, tidy, nice staff, lovely cakes, nice tea will go again

First thing we noticed was menu missing from window display but popped in for look around. Mostly couples with coffees and light snacks. Sat down at table and again no menu. Had to ask a passing assistant for a menu. Ordered a combo from menu. Food was ok but without any trimmings and no sauces were on table or offered. No bill presented at table had to go to counter for a total. Overall not a bad experience but Venue could do better for new customers if they attend to the small touches / improvements highlighted above.

Vine a este café por accidente. Tuve mis dos galgos conmigo. Mientras que elegí del menú uno de los personal guardaba mi perros. Entonces sentamos y el servicio era rápido, amable y el café y la tarta preciosa. Era un lugar super y ojalá me hubiera encontrado en el primer día de mis vacaciones, sin duda habría frecuentado más. Bien hecho equipo.

Yo desaparecer para almorzar y nos sentamos en una mesa en el medio de la cafetería. Dos hombres llegaron en un par de minutos más tarde y me senté en la mesa junto a mí. Fueron rápidamente dieron un menú cada una camarera. Entonces ella caminamos hasta detrás del mostrador. Me invisible? ¿Por qué no me dieron un menú? No es que yo contaba, pero había al menos 2 o 3 camareras gratis de un menú. He comido aquí antes y no tenía ninguna queja, pero en realidad en esta visita me sentí herido:

Encontramos esta pequeña joya en Troon. Nos sirvió un camarero encantador y amable joven.

This little coffee shop in Troon serves great food. Would recommend the soup & sandwich deal. Well priced food, with cheerful and helpful staff. Also offers a great selection of tasty cakes. Would highly recommend for lunch.

Para un rollo pasó por bacon y un café. Ambos eran excelentes y se sirve rápidamente por una camarera simpática. Pasamos un rato relajante 25 minutos pensando que la próxima vez tengo que comprar uno de los scones y tortas que parecía delicioso! Estamos deseando...

No visitado 3 varias veces desde entonces la titularidad ha transferido a una pareja de jóvenes. El edificio ha sido muy bien renovado y nombre cambiado para el cojín de fresa (el nombre original). Café de primera clase, gran variedad de comida y el personal...

Almorcé aquí hace poco y quedé muy impresionado por la selección del menú y la calidad de la comida servida - nos sirvió un hermoso joven, que más tarde descubrimos que era el nuevo propietario. Sin duda, recomiendo una visita a No 3 para probar las sopas caseras y pasteles deliciosos. Algunos de la familia tenía una dieta especial que fueron solucionados con muy eficientemente. Sin duda volveremos!

No hemos comido en 3 veces. La comida suele ser bastante buena y el servicio perfectamente bien, pero nuestra visita más reciente nos puso a regresar. Nuestra orden fue tomada por una mujer mayor de amarga y las únicas palabras que pronunció durante toda nuestra visita fue "¿estás listo para ordenar." Nos dieron nuestra orden y también dijimos que habría tortas después.

Stopped off for breakfast here with the family. Nothing was too much trouble, great service from Fraser and Doreen (I'm 90% certain of their names). We ordered a wide range of food, with the men ordering full breakfasts (cooked to order), my Grandad having a freshly prepared sandwich, Mum having the Lentil soup (she highly recommends) and I (being on a diet) just had toast. We all enjoyed the tea, food and atmosphere. Thanks again!

Two of us had lunch here. We had toasted paninis and coffees. The food was nicely presented with a small side salad, coleslaw and crisps. The staff were friendly and the price of the food was fair.

Went with my wife for lunch ordered soup , bacon roll while my wife had the jacket potato with tuna, everything we ordered was fresh and warm in a pleasant and very clean cafe, staff were excellent, the choice of menu very good with decent prices and would recommend when in Troon to try it out, you won't be disappointed.

No 3 is a very pleasant coffee shop in Church Street in the town centre. It is always spotlessly clean, has a few tables outside and a good range of cakes, scones, sandwiches, soup, etc. at reasonable prices.I have visited several times in the past month or so and their coffee (capuccino, being my favourite) is really good. Their treacle scones are to die for.The staff are very accommodating and always exceptionally pleasant. A real joy.This is one of the best in Troon.

Visited No.3 for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Bright and clean surrounding and very friendly welcome were a good start. The menu is more than adequate and prices are reasonable. We had various toasties which were delicious, the coffee was good and we had to try a cake each - also very tasty indeed. The service was prompt and entertaining and we will certainly return.

Dropped in for coffee today (3/4/16) and was lots of empty tables,2 had reserved signs,which is a bit much as it is a cafe,and during our time there was not any customers for the tables,also the staff were more taken with their loud conversation,other than that the visit was alright. Will get a shock when Costa opens.

We visited Number 3 for lunch. It's a nice clean and welcoming cafe. Staff were all very friendly and good at their job. Homemade soup was delicious as was the coffee. I

Excellent coffee , pleasant staff reasonably priced , nice and clean place cakes looked lovely but resisted as it was late afternoon.

Dropped in for lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. Menu choices were adequate. Food was good especially the homemade chicken noodle soup. They were able to provide gluten free bread. Price was reasonable. There are a lot of similar establishments in Troon and this one is above average.

Fantastic find, fantastic value, great quality and quantity. The staff were attentive without being pushy, served with a smile and an obviously popular place tho go for lunch with the locals.

I like the coffee in this place. There are a lot of cafes in Troon but none that do decent coffee really. No. 3 do lovely gingerbead lattees. Cakes are also delicious and very friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious homemade scones and cakes, lovely welcoming, friendly staff. The best wee cafe in Troon, the lattes are huge and brilliant :)

I had lunch at No.3 in April 2015 with my mum and toddler daughter and was really impressed. Yes, it's a cafe offering a fairly standard menu, but the food was tasty and reasonably priced and our server, Fraser, was really impressive. He was attentive, polite, funny; all the qualities that are often lacking elsewhere! We didn't stay for cakes, but the scones in particular looked great. Next time I need a cuppa in Troon, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

This wee cafe / tearoom is a nice, bright, friendly eaterie with a good selection of lunchtime soup snacks and home made cakes etc.It is in a good location next to a car park and handy for a walk round Troon town centre

Last weekend my wife and I popped in for a drink and a bite to eat at lunchtime. Immediately we opened the door a young lad behind the counter went out of his way to welcome us. Within minutes we are then approached by an equally friendly and efficient waitress. We really enjoyed our snack and felt very at home. My wife ordered coffee and raved about it. We will definitely return.

Was recommended by the lady working in WH Smiths over the road and it looked like a good choice for a late lunch.However as mentioned elsewhere the ending of hot food AND sandwiches / panini's etc after 3pm is ridiculous and left them with two less customers.The lady behind the counter was very nice in pointing out other options in Troon which were still serving food (!) However I'm afraid for a cafe to turn away paying customers is simply not good enough in this day and age.

I eat here on a fairly regular basis always friendly and genuine without being over the top.Good choice of food which is of a very good quality and resonably priced.The soup (two different choices each day) is always excellant.A good selection of cakes and scones.Sandwiches are also first class as are thier meals.One of thr best in Troon nothing fancy just nice surroundings ,especially on a sunny day when you can sit outside ,and focus on customer service value for money while providing enjoyable tasty food.

Eat here on 1 occasion food was ok but staff were excellent very pleasant and friendly made you feel welcome

You always get a warm welcome from Jackie the manageress and her team and a better cup of coffee can not be had in Troon.

Good coffee and food. Staff are very friendly. You can eat outside when the weather permits. We always visit when in Troon.

Have been to no3 many times excellent service nice surroundings good quality food every time both carry out and sitting in .it does exactly what it says on the tin no frills just concentrates on service and reasonably priced quality foodThe soup is always a delight especially now winter is here.You can more or less see into the kitchen ,which is spotless ,and view your carry out food being prepared.personally I like this.This place should be higher up the rankings and shows other establishments how if you concentrate on the basics with out over charging you will get customer satisfaction.Would highly recommend giving it a go.

I visited this coffee shop while down for the weekend visiting family. They had recommend it as the use it often. It's a great location with plenty of window seats to watch the world go by. The chicken and rice soup was to die for, and I actually went back for more the following afternoon. Would recommend this coffee shop to anyone!

I visited here with my family recently and left pretty annoyed. As soon as we entered we had a woman in our face telling us they weren't serving hot food. This was fine as we weren't looking for lunch anyway but at just after 3pm on a Saturday afternoon I did actually find this unusual. We then had somebody else at our table to take our order before we had even all sat down. When we asked for another couple of minutes she too told us they weren't serving lunches anymore.She then uncomfortably stared at us from behind the counter until we had finished looking at the coffee list. Although I can't fault the cakes and coffees, I have never felt as uncomfortable in a coffee shop. It was obvious the staff wanted customers to leave and made little effort. I noticed this with other customers as well. We won't be returning.

Had a coffee in this lovely we cafe, staff very friendly, and the place is quite busy,I am quite fussy with my Latte, and I've got to say it was excellent.Lunch menu was good and choice of cakes as well, I will certainly return this wee treasure on my next visit toTroon

Visited recently and my husband & I had the worst ever baked potato and Coronation Chicken. Waited almost 20 minutes for it and our tea was getting cold it took so long. The so-called Coronation Chicken consisted of pre-formed tiny bits of "something" which tasted of "nothing" and the sauce was bland. Felt as though we were eating rubber. At almost £6 for a baked potato it was very poor value. What a wasted of money. Had lovely lunch in the past when called The Strawberry Cushion but has obviously changed ownership and not for the better. Sorry, but don't recommend.

We didn't actually eat here as we arrived after they had finished serving lunches, however the lady who served us made some good suggestions as to possible alternatives and later on when we were passing the cafe again she obvioulsy noticed us and popped out to ask if we had been successful in finding somewhere else - that's what I call customer service.

This cafe, formerly known as the Strawberry Cushion, is great for morning coffee, light lunches, and afternoon teas. The light lunches are consistently good quality and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and the service fairly prompt.
