Poppy Room in South Ayrshire

This is a real hidden gem. Set off the beaten track it takes a bit more effort that some of the more bouge cafes in Troon, but if you're looking for honest food and a fair price in a cafe you can get a seat in....its well worth the extra 3 min walk.

looked online for places in Troon that served gluten free. Thinking coffee and cake but would look at options available. Arrived around 11ish on a Saturday. only 1 other couple in the cafe. Mum and i sat down as no one to ask. Took around 10 mins before we got an order taken (girl was on her own and making 1 coffee at a time) she had to ask chef what there was GF for us to be told there was nothing GF as they had no bread but she'd asked the staff member due in to get some. We asked if they had GF cake and again they had nothing. i had chosen this venue as i saw a review giving it high recommendation for GF options and staff knowledge and my mum made it clear to the girl that was why we were there. unfortunately i don't think we'll be back. By time we had been served and finished our coffee the shop was full so obviously popular. such a shame (dogs are also welcome. mum wasn't keen on them being there so something to consider)

Poppy’s is open for dinner the week of The Open. Excellent food and the only place you will find Scottish dishes such as Cullen Skink, haggis and apple crumble. All dishes are home cooked with fresh vegetables and reasonably priced. Operated by the owners. BYOB as they are not licenced. A wee gem.

Popped in as the had Gluten Free on the menu Four small soups two cock a leekie and two carrot and coriander all piping hot, three scones very tasty and a gluten free cake tea for four great service and friendly staff

Fantastic breakfast with great quality and extremely reasonable pricing , very cheery and friendly staff all in all a great start to the day

Great Lunch menu , Soup was exceptional , the range of cakes was amazing , they also cater for Gluten Free customers . Friendly welcome for us and our 4 legged friends who even got treats provided. Not far from the car park ( its behind the cafe) if on street parking isnt availble. Top Tip: Call ahead and book to make sure you get a table.

Used to go here with my elderly dad & loved it (past tense now sadly). Went for some good home cooked food but left disappointed. Spoke to one of the staff at 1.30 and they said 20/25 mins for a table, we'll call you. They hadn't by the time we went back at 2.15. Ordered food and were told they weren't sure if they had the Mexican chicken - we were then told they had no chicken and not sure what they had. The girl then went to check and came back to say there was no food left! However, they could do a broccoli soup. Have had consommés that had more veg. Thin and lack lustre and very over priced for what we got. At least it was hot. Folk arriving after us were told they weren't doing food. Better if you had been honest. Had a reliable steak bake at Greggs round the corner. Thank you Greggs.

Great food and service, friendly staff… and very dog friendly (to a new puppy having its first venture into a cafe).

So disappointed to see they have pulled over60s lunch menu was a favourite when having day trip to Troon will need to try somewhere new ☹️

Popped in while out for a short walk. Atmosphere was great, staff were friendly and the artwork was lovely. Coffee and tea were spot on and the scones were deliciously fresh. We'll definitely be back.

Service - or should I say non- service. Been in a couple times - will not go back after today. Diabolical - ignored on entry - served other people in after me . I left and went Strawberry Cushion. Will not go again .

This is our favourite place to go for lunch or coffee and a cake. Very clean and fresh, staff helpful and very cheery. A good pensioners lunch which is good value. The macaroni cheese is one of the best. It is also very dog friendly which is perfect for our dachshund.

Had a great light lunch at this wonderful little cafe - staff were friendly and the service was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely worth a visit!

Visited our favourite dog friendly cafe in Troon today. Popular as ever with three other well behaved dogs. Service was prompt and staff cheery, prices are good. Sat beside a middle aged couple at the next table. Male smiled at us and our dachshund as we sat down, however, the lady was rather more solemn. We gave our dog his dinner from his bowl on his mat, also fed him a few treats. When the couple went to pay the lady complained to Jackie, the manageress, about the dog next to her table, there was one on the other side of her table. She said it was fed from the table and other comments.We found this out because, Jackie, rightly so, came up and spoke to us about the points raised and she also spoke the group at the next table with the dog about the same points. It is a dog friendly cafe and we, along with many others, enjoy visiting. We will continue to go to this lovely cafe. If people do not want to have dogs beside them and I understand this, then do not go to a dog friendly cafe etc.

Macaroni would never be my choice but after tasting my husband’s today at this lovely cafe, I’m a fan. The service was that good there, they gave me some away and my husband, son, daughter and I have been fighting over it tonight for dinner. Thank you very much x

After a walk on the beach wr headed ro the poppy room as this acfe allowed dogs . We were not disappointed the chicken and rice soup was one of the best homemade soups we've had!!! ... lovely bacon brown nad cranberry toasties followed by delicious cakes 🎂... we will be back ...and fresh water foe the dog 🐕... bloody brilliant

My son and I visited this afternoon on a cold , damp day . We were also here a fortnight ago. I just have to commend the staff for their friendly and helpful welcome . On both occasions I have had bacon rolls and scrambled egg rolls. They are made to order and were piping hot and well filled . It is rare to find rolls which are hot and generous ! Coffee is also nice . The decor has been updated and toilets are clean. Well worth a visit . My only negative remarks concerns a dog which came in on my previous visit . Staff were patting the dog but I didn't see any hand washing from staff afterwards . It advertises as dog friendly so I hope appropriate measures are in place .

Really lovely cafe. Great menu, delicious food and very friendly service. Very popular too. Really liked the decor, particularly the gorgeous paintings by a local artist.

lovely place, definitely recommended for lunch, or for a coffee. Amazing homemade soup and cakes. The people are also extremely friendly and kind.

What a smashing wee find on a visit to the town, the home made tomato soup was to die for as was the lentil soup, the tuna sandwich was stuffed full of tuna, and they have an over 60s deal too, plus they are dog friendly. Our server was lovely and helpful, really what more do you want or need. Would I come back ? If we are back in the area that’s a big YES ..

We came across this little cafe by accident today & were lucky they were just about to open. The ladies serving were very friendly and the food excellent & tasty. Already plan to revisit again soon *****

Went for breakfast with our dog and family members. The staff were so friendly and love dogs so felt welcome straight away. Good choice on the menu and the food was lovely. Our waitress was very considerate and asked when we wanted drinks and food...

Found this lovely wee place by accident . Most of the other places we tried were full , had a queue to get in or were closed as was the Monday after Christmas. We we very impressed with the friendly service & excellent food. We...

Great breakfast and Sam, the dog enjoyed his sausage! Beautifully clean and the decor is tasteful and relaxing- thank you x

Been in a few times-always good. Today was no execption- absolutely lovely mexican chicken toastie with bit of salad, coleslaw and crisps mmm yummy. Always a friendly welcome.

Fabulous haggis and cheese panini with side salad will definitely be back to try something else. Very clean staff very friendly and efficient. Would recommend a visit

Popped in for lunch today after a glorious day on the beach. We had our two terriers with us & were immediately offered a booth, as the tables by the window were very warm. The food was lovely, generous portions & very tasty. Would definitely...

The food and drinks are beautiful and not too costly. The staff are so so friendly and were great with my dogs, who at times can be very cheeky! Visit Troon often and I will definitely be back.

Just popped in here for breakfast and it really very good. I had a filled hot roll, the sliced sausage was great and the Mars bar scone....... yum 😋 Staff were really lovely, spotless clean and a really nice visit. Will certainly return.

Soup and a sandwich Great as ever plenty of filling and good fresh ingredients hidden Gem seek it out

Lived in Troon for years and never visited. Walked today from Prestwick and popped in on off chance, fab coffee and fab choice of gorgeous cakes, Iced gingerbread was lovely. it's obviously been renovated and very smart, lovely staff and already recommended to friends. Spot...

Recently visited the Poppy Room a couple of times. Staff were lovely, very attentive. Soup, sandwiches and salad lovely, very fresh and homemade. Will definitely be back.👍👍😄

Staff were so nice and polite. Food tasted really good. Shop was clean and tidy will visit again soon with my family :)

Visited here on Sunday. This is a lovely clean and bright space. We had very tasty homemade tomato soup, home baking and delicious coffee too! Dog friendly.

I popped in here a few days ago soon after opening with my husband for a coffee and a scone and had a lovely experience. We both had a latte and cherry scone. The coffee was good and hot - can’t stand tepid coffee -...

New Look and Great Lunch as ever Soup and Sandwich combo was yummy and fruit scone Great place and our wee dog loved It too

We had 2 wonderful cooked breakfasts and pancakes here using the Eat In to Help Out Scheme. The food was delicious and piping hot and the service was first class. Lovely and clean and tables well spaced with sanitiser and contact details taken on arrival. Great to be able to bring our dog too. Thank you

Visited here last week.....first since re-opening. Really like the new interior decor- the placement of tables, some of which were in booths, made for a more intimate place, as well as covid protected. Use of neutral colours and textures made for a relaxing atmosphere. Good menu options (some eateries are offering much reduced choices at the moment) and service pleasant and efficient.Would highly recommend amongst the many other cafe options in the town.

Ordered an afternoon tea for home delivery for a ruby wedding. Lovely effort made with heart shaped scones, pink meringues etc. Recipients declared everything was delicious. Sandwiches all had nice chutneys and added ingredients. Scones were perfect. All very reasonably priced. A big success for a gift. Communication was swift and professional and friendly. Highly recommend.

First time visit. Dog friendly which was good. Had soup and sandwich with cake and a pot of tea. Food was lovely and staff friendly. Good value. Only downside was gents toilets could be modernised. Will be back when next in Troon

Popped in for a big bowl of piping hot home made soup. Thoroughly enjoyed together with some beautiful soft bread. They are also dog friendly if needed.

Lovely dog friendly tearoom. Food was amazing, our Dog Teddy was given a bowl of water and a doggy biscuit. Staff were very friendly.

We stopped here for lunch to break up our journey as it’s dog friendly, staff friendly and great choice on the menu

Visited today based on previous dog friendly recommendations. More than lived up to my hopes. Absolutely fab food, great friendly atmosphere and staff. Staff were excellent with my dog who was given ham and water. Will definitely return and recommend to friends.

Excellent food, soup was to die for, Panni selection was excellent. Menu was informative and filled with lots of options. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. I will definitely be returning soon for another excellent lunch.

This was probably one of the worst lunches we have ever had. The menu was unbelievably uninspired. The food was quite simply awful. Runny watered down and tasteless scrambled egg, cheap quality panini with again tasteless uninspired filling. Overall everything we ate was made with very poor quality ingredients. Neither my husband or I finished our meal as it was so bad and we definitely won’t be returning.

Nice little tea room - lovely home baking, home made soups and fresh sandwiches. Dog friendly - central for town centre shopping and car park.

Myself and my partner came here very recently on a lovely walk from prestwick to Troon. We were just walking by and saw a sticker in the window which read dogs welcome. Dog friendly is a bonus as I go lots of places with my dogs they place goes as far to offer the dogs a bowel of water another plus in my book. We sat down and we were greeted and served very quickly. I had a toastie and baked potato followed by and empire biscuit. My partner she had a toastie and another dish I can’t quite remember what as well as a cake and a hot chocolate. I also had two soft drinks. This all came to £31 which I felt was very reasonable.Points to also note the portion sizes are very sizeable so good value for money.The staff are very accommodating we saw a girl with specs needs that the staff were very patient and kind also letting her come behind the counter as to select her own cake. For me this is above and beyond I like seeing staff go the extra mile. We will return on our next walk to Troon

On an overnight at the Marine hotel, we went here for a light lunch. I had the soup and sandwich and she had a toaster. We both had the fantastic scones. The two women working in the cafe were very pleasant, the place was spotless and the food was excellent. Best cock a leekie soup ever.

We stopped in for a quick lunch before checking into our hotel. The service is brilliant, lovely, friendly staff, very attentive. They have a good selection of lunch options and cakes! Another huge bonus they are dog friendly. Unfortunately we didn't have our dog with us but would definitely come back & bring him with us. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly cafe/tearoom in Troon!

Food was nice but real put off was the cleanliness of their glasses. All four drinks came and the glasses were filthy. One had a lipstick mark at top and others were very unclean inside the glass. Put us all off the food.

We had a 5 year old that needed toast quickly and the staff were happy to oblige. Then more toast needed and again quick to respond. All staff very friendly and attentive and we will definitely be back.

Lovely welcoming cafe with very good selection of food on the menu. Comfortable to sit in for a chat and afternoon tea. Also good selection of tray bakes. Very Dog friendly which is great after a lovely long walk on Troon beach.

Have been a good few times now and the food is always fab. Visited yesterday and we all had the french toast and it was amazing. Its dog friendly and even though we dont have a dog we still love going. We travel about 40 mins to go to Troon and i always message to book a table and its never a bother. Lovely staff and amazing home cooked food

Have been to the Poppy Room on a few occasions now, the locally sourced food is fab and the staff are really friendly. After leaving my phone they made sure to leave it with a nearby store opened later than them so I could collect it! Thank you so much ladies!

Found this little gem by accident whilst trudging round Troon fed up with being facedwith 'no dogs allowed' signs. Was welcomed in and treated very well along with pooch. Had a few odd looks from locals but didn't care - sign on door said 'welcome' and we were. Plus the grub was good!

Went for a wee trip to Troon and of course a wee lunch! Came across Poppy Room! Great choice from menu and specials board! Was all lovely! We don’t have a dog, but if you do you are super welcome!!

Hi went in to the Poppy tea room for scones and tea we got a lovely pot of tea and lovely scones with jam and clotted cream it was great and not that experience 👍👍

Visited here for lunch today with my sister. We had the express lunch which consisted of soup, sandwich and tray bake for £5.95. What a bargain. The soup was delicious as was the sandwich. There was also a big selection of home made tray bakes. We added a pot of tea for two which came with extra boiling water for topping up. The young girl who attended to us was really pleasant and a real asset to this coffee shop. A lovely visit.

Quiet Sunday afternoon in the middle of an long and tiring trip. Stumbled across the Poppy Room and left refreshed, energised and content. Varied menu, well presented food and helpful and friendly staff. Great value. Warm and comfortable. What more could you ask for? Very highly recommended.

We had a lovely lunch here. Food was good and freshly made - helpful and friendly service. Our dog was welcomed and sat on my coat under the table. Loved the soup and the tray bake menu was extensive and yummy. Thanks very much all.

On a cold, damp, windy afternoon, our lovely welcome here was very well received, including our dog with a water bowl and a treat. Staff were very friendly- chatty and informative. Good selection of baking on offer. A pleasure to spend some time here.

Due to TripAdvisor's rules it is not possible to review somewhere every time you visit but I would like to when it comes to the Poppy Room. I live in Glasgow and travel down at least once a month sometimes with friends or family and they all end up going back.

Had a day out in Troon last week and stopped into the Poppy Room for lunch. Lots of choice on the menu, really nice food and friendly staff. Would definately be worth paying a visit to if your in the area.

What a delight, a menu with no shortage of gluten free options. A choice of four soups was on offer. I chose the chicken and rice which was lovely followed by a tasty bacon toasty. My husband had an omelette with toast which he thoroughly enjoyed. The service was good and the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

Dog friendly V Clean Good Menu and Staff Great had a panini special and a wee cake Gluten free options available My Wee dog also likes it she got a dog Treat from staff I would visit with or without my dog first Class thanks to All Staff for the Great food and hospitality

Surrounding were basic but the waitress was very friendly even when it got busy and she was on her own. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. Would recommend to others

All the delicious sandwiches and toasties can be made with Gluten free bread and there is a great selection of wonderfully tasty gluten free pastries. They are kind and happy servers, love dogs and give everyone a warm Scottish welcome. The Poppy Room sets the standard I wish all tearooms and cafés would rise too. The baked potatoes are yumilicious, with salad & coleslaw. I wish I had a place like this closer to home!

We went a wee trip to troon with the dogs and visited the poppy room. Nice wee friendly place where our canine companions joined us. Nice people, good food at reasonable prices. All good 👍🏻

Excellent cafe. Only good one in Troon. Others are dreadfully dull. Dog friendly and therefore very busy. Very welcoming. Noticed. Abbie’s, wheelchairs, great atmosphere.

We were so happy to find at least one dog friendly establishment in Troon and simply can’t fathom why there are so few in this area.

Day visit in Troon in the cold weather popped into The poppy room. The staff could not have been more welcoming and pleasant, great customer service. We had tea for two and a Malteser slice each for just over seven pounds, this is a great value for money and we recommend to everyone to visit!

Visit Troon regularly but don’t always stop in to eat. This time, it was absolutely freezing so decided to nip in for a quick soup.

Had looked for somewhere I could take my dog after walking on the beach and found this lovely cafe. A very warm welcome with lovely staff. Fab coffee just the way i like it and a tasty breakfast roll. Will definitely be back.

I visited with my mum and baby for a coffee and were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much bother and the lady immediately came to help us get in with the pram and brought through a high chair which was immaculately clean.

We were down at Troon for a few hours and popped into the Poppy Room for coffee with our small dog, the staff were lovely and made us so welcome and made our wee dog welcome with a water bowl, we had a lovely deluxe hot chocolate and scones in a lovely warm environment it will be my go too place in Troon whenever we are down at the beach

The Poppy Room has a quite old-fashioned appearance but don't let this put you off. We had bacon and egg rolls and there was a good quantity of bacon. We shared a fruit slice and afterwards wished we had taken one each. it was delicious....

We stopped here for coffee and scones after our usual coffee shop was closed for the festivities.What a find,the staff were friendly and polite and it’s the best coffee and scones we’ve had in a long time.Choice of homemade scones,dish with fresh butter and homemade jam, none of these plastic tubs, which are my pet hate, and coffee was piping hot. Great value for money and to top it all, our wee dog was welcome too.Can’t wait to return to try lunch.

Until most recent change of name and ownership we referred to it as "Hopkins"....hasn't been this for at least 10 years, but that name always, for us, set the standard for Troon Tea Rooms. It doesn't matter whether your having a light lunch, a (beautiful) scone or a magnificent cake, the quality is always superb. And, their coffees and tea are perfect.

Popped in here with a colleague for lunch. The lentil soup was hearty and tasty. I had a coronation chicken panini. She had a Cajun chicken wrap. Both were very good. We were tempted by the extensive array of home baking. The carrot cake and empire biscuit were very tasty. All in all a very nice lunch. The bill with three pots of tea was £21. Would return and recommend

Popped in here last week with my mum and dog after a long walk on the beach.

Had a night out to the Poppy Room last week to their Spanish theme tapas night. It was our first visit in the evening and we were lucky to get a seat since it was nearly sold out when we booked. What a fantastic selection of food. We had patata bravas, salad, bread, Spanish tortilla, massive prawns in oil, a chicken dish and a fantastic stew with butter beans and black pudding and a wee shot of gazpacho . None of us could fault a single thing. One of our party was a vegetarian and was well catered for too. Also you can take your own bottle of wine . The whole night was most enjoyable and really good value for money. The staff were lovely too. Have already booked the next one which is Greek.

This is not far from the Marine hotel, and its so nice, the staff are lovely, very welcoming, great choice of home made goodies as well as good coffee, would recommend

Nice lunch with a friend. Nothing outstanding but friendly staff. Usual cafe / tea room. They do have a reasonable range of tray bakes.

Had a light lunch followed by coffee and cake at the Poppy Room. Absolutely lovely! The service is super friendly and dogs are very welcome.Good value for money.

This coffee shop in Troon is fab. Amazing scones and their soups are amazing . Friendly atmosphere, lovely staff , dog friendly and very reasonably priced . A must for a coffee and catch up

We had booked the Poppy Room for lunch after a good walk with our dogs along Troon beach.The Poppy room is a traditional Cafe serving a good choice of freshly prepared meals and sandwiches. The establishment offers homemade soup and 2 of our party had the tomato soup which was delicious and wholesome. Great selection of sandwiches, panninis , cakes etc. Staff very courteous and helpful. It is difficult to find somewhere that accepts dogs and apart from our 2, there were 3 others in whilst we were eating. If you are doing a beach walk with dogs in Troon a great place to enjoy lunch and recharge the batteries!

I had morning coffee this morning with a toasted fudge scone - scrumptious. My wife had a plain scone and tea - delicious - Total Bill £4.50 !!

Lovely little cafe, and dogs are made very welcome indeed. A bowl of water was brought for our pooch, and he was given a treat. The food for us humans was very tasty - and served quickly. I had the french toast with bacon and maple syrup. The staff were very friendly, and if we return to Troon, we would definitely go to the Poppy Room again.

This is our favourite place to eat when in Troon. Mostly we have coffee, which is always served just how we like it and delicious cakes. We have on occasion had lunch and have always thoroughly enjoyed whatever we have chosen. The soup is always tasty and sandwiches and salads are lovely and fresh. The staff are always welcoming and polite, even when rushed off their feet during busy Saturday service.Pam the owner has made quite a few changes around the place and the shop is bright and welcoming.We have nothing negative to say about The Poppy Room except sometimes it's so busy we have to come back later and I always worry the yummy meringues will run out!!!

What a lovely little coffee shop providing fresh homemade soups, toasties, panini's etc There is a range of coffees and a good range of herbal teas as well as soft drinks. There is also a wide range of fresh baking that looks amazing, I'm sure it's homemade. The staff are absolutely lovely, very friendly and provide some water for dogs and a wee treat (if they are well behaved). What a treat! Absolutely recommend this place and look forward to returning.

Was back in a week ago,,,,,staff as great as before, always extremely polite, pleasant and efficient.Food is always fantastic (caters to all types )and served with a smile.It is always a delight and a treat to go to/ be in/ eat in the Poppy Room

Always go to the Poppy Room when Im back in Troon. Staff are really friendly and the cakes are delicious, especially the different variety of scones. Great service and they also welcome dogs which is lovely.

Only popped in for coffee lovely staff coffee was lovely noted they had a good selection of cakes will return for lunch if back in area

We visited last Thursday the 1st of June for lunch during a very wet day in Troon. We had come out for the afternoon from Craig Tara Holiday Camp to visit Ayr and Troon. We were welcomed to the Poppy Room with our two children right from entering and had a lovely snack lunch. The food was delicious and we enjoyed it all in very relaxing surroundings. The staff were very friendly and got to know us as holidaymakers even suggesting what we could do on such a wet day!!!!! It was a lovely little place and we would certainly recommend it to anyone. Thank you for your company and for making our visit pleasant in the rain.

My partner and I went for a lovely wee lunch yesterday and we weren't disappointed. There was a bit of a wait but we weren't in a hurry . Food is excellent and certainly worth the wait . I tried the toasted fudge scone and it was delicious. My partner and I will certainly go back . Highly recommend.
