Scoff & Patter in Renfrewshire

Very poor quality food my wife's bacon was like cardboard and her eggs all burnt at the edges,she asked for bacon to be replaced,the stuff that came back was the same.My roll on square slice was also overcooked.The standard is not the same as when it opened and we will not recommend and will not be back.

Excellent friendly service and always consistent. Drinks/Coffee service always seems to be slow but equally we are not in a rush. Food quality and portions very good! Look forward to our next visit!

Visited twice recently and although the menu is extensive and the food and drinks lovely quality and very tasty the wait time was ridiculous. Almost an hour wait for 2 coffees and a bacon roll..

This is definitely my little go to cafe! Coffee is great and food is even better. Great brunch selection which made the decision difficult. They also cater very well for children with a very appropriate and good selection of choices on kids menu. My daughter was over the moon with her chocolate milkshake which came with cream and sprinkles on top. The service is very personal and friendly, the staff could not have been any more nicer and were very attentive.

Waited 50 minutes for scrambled egg on toast and a roll and sausage. Plenty customers who had come in after us had ate their lunch, we were still waiting. Clearly hadn't started making it when I chased, still nothing 5 minutes later. Cancelled and left. A busy Friday afternoon I know, but if you want the custom you need the staff to deal with it. Possibly the worst service I've ever experienced, we will not be going back.

Food nice but not worth the 1 hour wait. Visited yesterday with a friend and my dog, got seated at a seat directly in the sun. Order was taken quickly but we waited almost 30 mins for drinks and further 30 mins for food which we had to chase up. The veggie breakfast was nice but not worth waiting an hour for and my tattie scone was missing. My friend had a full breakfast her poached eggs were overcooked and her bacon was given to the dog as it was 90% fat. We had to eat and run as we were melting in the sun and been sitting for 75 minutes in it and I now have sunburn as I hadn't expected to be sitting so long. Definitely won't be returning unfortunately.

Really disappointed with customer service in cafe today as was shown to a seat at rear of cafe and then totally ignored for 30 minutes, we left as sitting at a dirty table was not acceptable. We used this place regularly, but definitely won’t be back

Slow service and staff that were disinterested. Found it to be pricey for the size of portion and food was average. Asked for a glass of water when I sat down then had to ask again twice before it was brought to me by a waitress who looked like she didn’t want to be there. Won’t be back and can’t recommend it unfortunately. Shame. I really wanted to like it here. Trying to be something it definitely isn’t.

Visited local cafe after visiting property in the area. Saw the name and thought local, fresh, and friendly. That’s exactly what we got! From the cafe name to the loos, it’s authentically Scottish! The food was freshly made, it was hot, and served in a timely manner. The staff were lovely and I walked out with a smile on my face, having had a great scoff!!!

Family breakfast to celebrate my 60th birthday, first class service from all the staff who looked after us well. Food was well prepared and served on time. Can well recommend and we will be back again.

The food was great, cannot recommend the breakfast bagel enough! It’s what I get every time I come here. 10/10 service and great choice of food

Extremely busy but service was ok. Ordered breakfast items. Eggs were burnt underneath. Annoyed at myself for not sending them back. Reluctant to return here.

Great little place. Had coffee and cake & my sister had lunch. Great service.. delicious cakes .. would recommend and will be back.

On arrival the young waitress asked “table for 2?”, as we walked through the door , which I thought was fast service ,although the waitress did chuck the menus on the table & walk away before we’d even got to it , which I thought was pretty rude. The place had been hyped up to me on fb so thought we’d give it a go & not let a little glitch put us off. Maybe it had been busy & they were a little jaded. Coffee’s were lovely Food was pretty average . My husband had the Stornaway stack. I had baked eggs in tomatoes. The lady serving us was very nice. Everything was pretty “vanilla” though, even the atmosphere. As my husband went to pay the bill , I stood up to put my jacket on & noticed a young mum with a buggy trying to push the heavy front door open to get out. The waitress was wiping table’s & completely ignoring the fact the lady needed any help. ( yes she was facing her & could see she was struggling). I went to assist & had to put my hand. On the glass door to help. Which unfortunately I did leave a hand print on . Oops sorry. I saw her roll her eyes at me & huff over to the counter & ask for glass cleaner as there was a greasy hand print on it! If only she’d been as vigilant in helping her customer out the shop. Poor customer service & attitude from 1 member of a staff totally let the place down. I won’t be back .

I was in a group with family for brunch. The server misheard my order which I corrected. This was just the start, my breakfast arrived with the wrong toast and cold eggs. When they we taken away I was given 2 replacement eggs on a side plate 10-15 minutes later, with no breakfast (by this time most of our party was nearly finished). A couple of minutes later the rest of my food arrived, the food had not been kept warm so half of it was cold. When this was pointed out the waitress was clearly not happy I had complained and this was not difficult to see. Instead of offering to not pay for the meal I was asked in an unhappy tone what would I like her to do. Once the food had been served the staff showed no further interest in our table until it was time for the bill. I also explained this, again was informed that they were very busy in an equally short unhappy tone. Less tables would help the staff cope with the customers, or more staff may help. I was disappointed as I had been told the food was great, sadly not this time.

I have been to scoff and patter a few times now and the service seems to be getting worse each time. I have been with work colleagues and friends and had to wait roughly 30-45 minutes for drinks and food to be served to the table. Today we were totally forgotten about. After waiting around 35 minutes and our order and coffee still hadn’t arrived we decided just to leave. We spoke to a member of staff and there was no apology and made us feel like it was our fault?! I have spoke to a few people who have been recently and have been very disappointed - the customer service and speed could certainly do with improvement.

Managed to get a table despite being very busy. The service was quite slow but food was nice when it came.

Love the food here, the coffee is amazing. Would 100% recommend giving this place a visit if you can.

If you’re not in a rush, come here. Yes the service is slightly slower than other places but the food is always great and the staff are lovely. I’ve been using this place for over a year and I’ve never had a bad experience. I’d rather wait an extra ten minutes for a decent lunch than have my food arrive quickly but be poor quality.

Went at lunch time on a Wednesday. It was busy but got a table without waiting. Waited nearly 40 minutes for food after ordering. Nothing complicated, soup and a sandwich and one order of French toast. The latter arrived first, cold and soggy. Had to...

I love this place! The menu is lovely and the home baking is absolutely to die for especially the empire biscuits topped with a mini snowbal. Coffee is great too.

We were looking for somewhere off the motorway as we drove down south and came across S&P. The 10 minute diversion was so worth it: it’s a buzzy café serving excellent food. My soup homemade and delicious, as were our steak sandwiches and chicken crepe....

After being told to go pick a seat outside, we sat for over 15 minutes while no one came to our table to take an order or even give us a menu. The waitresses cleared tables around us multiple times as we waited for any...

I went Saturday25th with my sister and niece.poor customer service from manageress and rudeness from staff member.Waited 20 mins for food after being served tea and coffee,had to order more when food came. Won't be returning unless service improves.This wasn't like this under previous manageress

I really hate to do this and give a bad review as the food is always so good but I was in for lunch and the service was really really poor, we were seated and then waited 20/25 mins before our drinks order was taken...

Excellent food and service, friendly and welcoming staff. Worth going to for breakfast and lunch highly recommend.

If you are looking for a quick bite then Scoff & Patter is probably not the place to come. However, if you want what the name suggests: a substantial blether as well as good food then this IS your place. The food is delicious and...

Sunday morning for breakfast. Quickly given a booth and menus. Young and friendly staff. First impressions, very noisy due to tiled floors and music that is very intrusive. We were close to a speaker but did not appreciate the 70s disco mix at 10am! Change...

Cane for breakfast with some friends. We all have poached eggs & smashed Avacado with various different toppings. Coffee was fab & the cakes were amazing as always 10/10 can't wait to visit again

Second visit to Scoff & Patter over the last month & on both occasions the service has been somewhat chaotic & very slow. First visit waited 1.5 hours for breakfast- waitress did give us the heads up that there were delays in the kitchen &...

Absolutely delicious, and very filling lunch yesterday. We just popped in on the off chance and didn’t need to wait too long for a table. The staff were all delightful, very friendly and efficient. I chose the chicken and bacon salad and opted to have...

We live in the area so went for a quick take away coffee. We waited 45 minutes in the hot sun outside with a 1 year old for 2 small lattes! Really slow service!

Visited at lunch time with disabled adult. All disabled parking spaces and non disabled spaces full and had to park around 5 minutes walk away for a not disabled person. Over 45 minutes in the premises before receiving food and staff although pleasant and apologetic...

this restaurant is local to us and we do like the food served - prefer though to have take away - nightmare to get through on the phone, several times tried and eventually get answered to be told 40 minute wait. Hungry so decided to...
