The Coffee Club in East Ayrshire

Took too long to take our order, whilst staff were standing about, but it was delivered quickly, the staff were friendly, and the food was good and very reasonably priced. We will be back.

Still a Kilmarnock staple for lunch. Had soup and sandwich. Was tasty enough (soup a bit tepid) but reasonably priced. Quiet for a Friday lunchtime. Still worth a visit.

Hadn't been to this cafe in years. The staff were lovely & friendly and welcoming. Coffee was lovely as was the Almond & chocolate scone. Definitely be back to try the cakes which looked delicious.

You can tell a cafe is popular when there is a queue of people waiting for scones and tea at opening time. Thoroughly enjoyed a cooked breakfast here with my wife which was served quickly, enjoyable and a great price. Reminded me of Cafe’s I would visit with my family when I was younger. Would recommend.

Fantastic coffee and selection of home made cakes, rhubarb pie with cold custard, not everyone cup of tea, but lovely

Lovely staff very friendly . Good selection of food

A place to be avoided. Food terrible.

I can't fault the breakfast I had today!

Had snack/ lunch for me and my friend .had to sit and figure out for ourselves that no one was going to take our order at table...we were only people in and 2 behind counter..no ice for drinks ..she had cajun chicken wrap..chicken was mashed to tuna like consistency and no colour to it ..ie cajun spice..bland and tasteless..my tuna melt was ok...we left most..wont be back..

Food was fantastic will be back very soon.

Good service, nice friendly staff.

Always lovely service, coffee and good selection of cakes.

Varied menu with food cooked fresh. Good range of cakes. Staff were efficient and friendly.

Lovely rhubarb crumble and cream, yum

What a lovely café with lots to choose from. I enjoyed the breakfast and would come back. Staff were lovely and you are well looked after. Great coffee and service.

Another Kilmarnock institution that is a shadow of its former self. Venues in this town refuse to move with the times and seem intent to appease an ever-dwindling OAP market with their offering/decor/service etc. There are many younger people who want somewhere modern to enjoy a coffee or lunch with friends and they simply aren't being served. 2022 and no vegan options for food (not even an oat milk in sight - in a coffee shop!) is bad enough, but the only vegetarian options are the same ones available in the 90s. The rest of the world is moving on - Kilmarnock needs to join in or be yet another provincial town soon to be empty for good.

Lovely Coffee, Tea, food and bakery. Perfect <3

Very good, great coffee and snacks

Very clean, good selection on offer. Not too busy & tables spread out well with social distancing & track & trace in place. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff.☕🫖🍰

Food wS excellent Service was also excellent

Very nice food, and Service and,staff really nice

I haven't been in the coffee club for years and it looks so different from the last time. Only had a cappuccino so can't comment on the standard of food. Service was efficient. No skimmed milk available unfortunately.

The homemade creme du Barry is the best thing I’ve ever tasted!!! Hopefully they open back up soon! The sandwiches are great too. And reasonably priced.

Good selection of snacks and decent coffee but overpriced for what we got.

Needs to upgrade the opening times, as we were told it was closing at 15.00 today. Strange that in these tough times, places that are allowed to open are happy to close early!

We have been using Coffee club for years now as the provide great fair prices for takeaway coffees. The scones are always fresh and the hot rolls are delicious. My only fault is they have recently changed there cups to polystyrene and they just arent as good but other than that great coffee.

Nice Ambiance, nice food, great service.

Really clean, food delish 😋 really nice staff, enjoyable experience 😁

Very nice, good selection of sandwiches, coffees and cakes.

Nice selection of sandwiches/baked potatoes, and the coffee was excellent. Only downside was the fact that all the baked potato fillings were not available.

Had to wait on a friend coming to town so we popped in for a snack we only had coffee and scone but it was ok had to get them to reheat my coffee as it was cold nice cozy place though Table next to us had breakfast and it looked ok Well worth a visit

Food was poor. Toilet was dirty no hand soap

My mum used to work here 40 plus years ago and I came here on first dates and pre alcohol nights out as a teenager so it's a bit of nostalgia for me to visit this kilmarnock institution. Service is very professional and attentive, food very good , coffee excellent . Makes me smile

Brilliant place to go keep up the good work

Love this cafe, great food, great coffee, great service, great prices, lovely staff and very calm, relaxed atmosphere

Good cup of coffee with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The scones were excellent, and the prices very reasonable.

I visit this cafe regularly as the owner makes the best cappuccinos and Flat Whites I've had anywhere. The scones are great varying from date and walnut to chocolate and honeycomb. Soups include hearty traditional favourites but the best include carrot & coriander or Thai variations. The cakes/cheesecakes are all good, but I usually return for the rhubarb crumble & custard! All the staff are extremely personable and efficient with the owner Frazer leading the way!

Brilliant place to go for a coffee and a snack

the coffee clubs food is excellent the lemon meringue pie and the apple pie with fresh cream is to die for coffee is lovely also when in Kilmarnock give it a try

This small eatery is a great place for lunch. Small and friendly with a good range of freshly prepared snacks.

Located on Bank street, just off the main thoroughfare lies , `The Coffee Club` an excellent cafe , with amicable staff , warm and welcoming, I ordered egg , beans hash browns, with toast , with tea to wash it down , served fast , and food well cooked hot and delicious no complaints there, toilet is downstairs, where once a restaurant was in service. Certainly would return, if in the vicinity.

Fantastic soups for lunch and not far from the main thorough fare. Home made cakes are delicious. nice coffee

Great service staff couldn't be nicer food lovely well worth a visit

The Coffee Club is a great place if you fancy a bowl of hot soup and a coffee when you are out doing your shopping, also have a great selection of scones and cakes.

Great wee coffee shop. The best scones ever

Scones are really good great service every time we go Have no complaints about anything the home baking is really good as is the snacks

A good place for a coffee and cake or a wee lunch. Good service,friendly staff and great cakes..

Very disappoited ordered bacon sausage and egg panini . First off all it was a baguette and not a panini and it was the smallest piece of bacon and half a sausage and half a boiled egg cut into slices. Could see more bread on the inside than the filing and it cost £5.95 not worth the money.

Always use this cafe when visiting Kilmarnock. I hadn't been for about a year and found it less enjoyable this visit. Seems to have lost some of its appeal.

This long established venue is open until 9pm on a Wednesday night. We were out on a rainy evening and just wanted coffee and a cake. The vast majority of cafes are closed around 5.30pm and it was really heartening to find this warm and comfortable spot. Coffee and rock buns hit the spot. Worth knowing this facility of a late night snack.

My wife and I were made very welcome in the coffee club in what was a very relaxed atmosphere. The Kimbo coffee is just the best and the cakes, baked in house, were delicious. Well worth a visit

Love going to the coffee club. The rolls and cakes were amazing. Staff are amazing friendly and very helpful. Thanks for given me my wee quiet haven xx

Love it coffee and scones great

Nice to go and relax and have a choices of coffee or have a breakfast or so sthings light to eat it not bad place for achange

Always great service and great food. Ideal for a lunch stop or even just a coffee while out shopping.

Staff always nice and pleasant good food and good cappuccino's, Aidyn loves the Creme Du Barry soup and Chicken Mayo sandwiches.

Have had breakfast and lunch here and usually find it very enjoyable. The soups are good and the cakes lovely. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the service is good

Wow what can I say about this place, 1st of all the place is in need of a really good clean!! Don't know what has happened to the cakes they used to be fab but now they look shop bought, definitely not " made on premises" as the manager keeps going on about! No atmosphere and I'm pretty sure I saw rat droppings down stairs on the way to the toilet!! The only plus is the older gentleman who makes the breakfast, he couldn't be anymore helpful. Definitely NOT worth a visit!!!!

Sólo una cosa puedo decir RATA EXCREMENTOS Bajé las escaleras a usar el baño es absolutamente repugnante el olor a orina era horrible había excrementos de rata toda la moqueta hacia la izquierda. Recomiendo a nadie para comer en el club café otra vez!

Amazing bacon & potato scone roll! Relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Visitamos para el almuerzo con los amigos. En primer lugar, tuve que usar el baño, que está abajo. Era oscura y lúgubre y había un mal olor. seriamente fuertes cuando me metí en el aseo había hongos como cultivar cosas saliendo de las tablas. Raro! !

To start off the prices are far to expensive. The children needed the toilet walking down the stairs there was a very strong smell. It was far to dark as there where only a couple of lights on.

I frequently visit the Coffee Club in Kilmarnock, as it is simply the best place for lunch in town. The Prawn Marie Rose sandwiches are exceptional and the restaurant's hot chocolate is the best in town!!

Excellent food & service as usual

This is a great place for coffee, cake or lunch while in town. Very popular due to the good food on offer.

Used to be a great place to go before it was closed. It opened up again with new owners and it is now a disappointment. The food is bad and the service isn't great

Nice relaxed lunch in a nice atmosphere

Went in for a coffee and couldn't resist a slice of cake ... honestly these things are huge and delicious. Reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back in to try their lunch menu. Seen some others with toasties and soups etc. Looks yummy!

Comimos allí con mi hijo que vive cerca. Habíamos ido de compras en Glasgow y fue una opción más barata. Todos tuvimos sándwiches tostados y café la factura era de alrededor de 20 libras. 00 lo que no estaba mal. Fue muy concurrido cuando fuimos y eso demuestra su buena.

Great coffee. Lovely scone n jam. Excellent service. Excellent value for money. Defo will be back again.

Excellent service, friendly staff and great food..well done to all.

Best breakfast in Kilmarnock and very friendly staff.

This is a busy little eatery in a small steeet near town centre. Good range of hot and cold light meals at reasonable prices.

We visit the coffee club regularly as its in our local town.They do an amazing breakfast,their scrambled egg is to die for and e wry thing is made fresh.Even the potato scones are home made.The range if home made cakes is amazing.The lemon meringue pie and empire biscuits are the best I have tasted.This place is well worth a visit.They also do a coffee and scone deal for £2.50.If your I. Kilmarnock it's a must to try this wee place out .

My friends &amp; I visit the Coffee Club almost every week &amp; the food &amp; service is excellent. We particularly like their soups, but we've tried most things on the menu &amp; it's all very good. It had a revamp over the last few years &amp; the upstairs restaurant is much more comfortable than it used to be. They also sell gift vouchers which are very handy to give to friends as gifts. Well done Fraser!

We visit this lovely local cafe almost every week. The staff are really friendly and always go out of their way to look after you. The creme du barry soup is fabulous and they always have a large selection of home made cakes.

Friendly service, good atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Would highly recommend. In a good central location.

Had to work Saturday, Coffee Club nearest for breakfast. Ordered 2 rolls with sausage and one fried egg roll to take away.Total cost £9.00, speechless!Food was OK but not worth the money. Other take always charge on average £1.40 per roll. Won't be back. This is just a rip off.

Have been here several times for lunch. Soup is very good especially Creme de Barry. They have an excellent choice of home baking. Staff very friendly &amp; helpful.

We used to visit The Coffee Club in Kilmarnock for a number of years when it was under their previous management, had a good reputatiion and an extensive lunch and snack menu. It was always busy on both floors. On our recent visit we decided to call here again although we had heard that the previous owner had retired and it was under new management. It was far from busy upstairs and the downstairs area was closed. The menu was pretty restricted to cakes, a few snacks and soups, Service was good and very friendly. My wife and I chose the Creme de Barry Soup which we had seen recommended on Trip Advisor. When we asked were told that this was a Cream of chicken and cauliflower soup. Although we cannot say that it was poor, it was extremely thick and glutinous and although quite tasty, it was too heavy for our liking. All in all the place was not bad but not up to the standards previously set.

Its growing on me.Known this place for over 40 years and am happy to see the new owners seem to be on the ball now.Good soups,good breakfasts,excellent coffee,friendly staff.I am still getting used to the changes but its definately getting better.

Love love love this coffee shop the creme du barry soup is to die for great selection of cakes. Staff are really friendly and attentive. It can get very busy at lunchtime though. Give it a go you won't be diappointed.

hadn't had pancakes for a while well worth the wait had them as brunch with bacon and maple syrup and to wash them down a scrummy latte good size portion as I was struggling to finish them and don't like food to waste

Hot drink and a scone excellent bargain!

I have been going to the Coffee club for years, at least once a week over the past 20 years, the staff are first class and the food is very special, or if you want a quiet place just for coffee, this is the place to go in Kilmarnock, not much more I can say about the Coffee Club but First Class

Great wee place on Bank Street, good choice of food on the menu and very tasty.Excellent staff who are always very pleasant.There is always a great selection of cakes on offer, it's difficult to decide what to get. They do a great takeaway offer of 4 for the price of 3 on the cakes, we always leave thinking it would be rude not to take them up on this.

Have only been upstairs for coffee. The staff have never said anything to me except for taking my order.

Had a lovely high tea on sat night had to wait a wee while but worth the wait as food was freshly cooked and piping hot .toast as well with our meal and the home baking was delicious especially the strawberry tarts was very good value for money will defonately be back .

Have tried this place a few times over the months since it re opened hoping they would iron out early problems but no more chances from me.Its definately not what it was,not even close.gave them four tries on my own,4 seperate ruined lunches hoping they would get the famous creme du barry soup right and they just cant do it.Went recently for take out lunch while at work again willing to give them another go as it had been a while since my last dissapointment and had to return the baked potato and was given a refund as it wasn't edible.Also have been twice to sit in downstairs with family group of 5 as we loved the coffee club before and all wanted to give the new owners a fair chance to impress but have been dissapointed every time on food and service.Afraid to say that after being a life long patron along with my mother and grandmother before me,I will be giving the coffee club a wide berth in future.I cannot believe the owners and some of the new staff have apparantly a long background in catering and service,it certainly doesn't come across.

I attended The Coffee Club with my wife and infant daughter for lunch on a Monday. I found the staff very pleasant and friendly. I am a fan of Costa Coffee (especially their Old Paradise blends) however I found the coffee at The Coffee Club to be better than Costa's "Mocha Italia" blend. I also found the food to be lovely. I had a Cajun Spicy Chicken panini and a piece of chocolate cake (so moist and delicious I can't do it justice) and my wife had a Ham and Cheese panini and White Chocolate Millionaire Shortbread (simply amazing), she also had a 2 cup pot of tea and I also had a can of Coca Cola. It came to £23.05 which I found very reasonable. The only fault I had was that there wasn't a separate baby change area for when I changed my daughter's nappy, as such I had to interlope into the ladies toilet and leave the door open.I will return...

I have been going to this place for many years now. I was first introduced to it almost 40 years ago and it has always had a reputation for good food and coffee. It hasn't changed much but it still gives a great scone and jam with lovely coffee. They also do take away for those on the go

Love the fact that upstairs actually have a proper chef as well as down stairs in the kitchen , most coffee shops / cafés normally just have counter staff doing your food , was attended by a lovely young girl today who was chatty smiley and bubbly ..... Will defiantly be back soon :) 25/10/2014

I went here tonight with my husband and 2 daughters 7yrs and 18yrs, we went around 5pm sat in downstairs area it was very quiet, one server who did a great job, young daughter had fish and chips was nice piece of fish she ate every bit, older daughter had burger, only ate half nothing wrong with it just not her best tasting one, my husband and I both had steak and sausage pie I removed sausages as don't like them, steak was tasty pastry was cooked separate then placed on pie, was a good size portion and tasty, then we got 3tier cake stand with lots cakes and 2 large scones, jam and cream, too much for us to eat so we got a box to take them home. Great value for money, local and tasty, a shame atmosphere was lacking.

Hadn't been into the coffee club since it's re vamp under the new ownership and to be honest not great Maybe some music would give a better atmosphere and although the chap is polite he comes across as a bit lacking in interest! Food was reasonable although quite odd that orders are taken then taken by hand to the kitchen down stairs! More than adequate server up stairs, after all it's only sandwiches etc. Rather crammed with tables and few ladies with wee tots and prams came in making it impossible to get out of my table.

Bought lunch when it first opened up again- awful service and below average food. Since then I went back recently with my mum and daughter, we sat downstairs as upstairs was busy - four tables were taken up with single customers, we waited 20 mins for someone to look our way. We left obviously!

With no idea where to have lunch in Kilmarnock we chanced upon The Coffee Club, and although the exterior was rather forbidding, could not have chosen anywhere better for food and hospitality. Whereas many cafes and restaurants use the words "coffee" and "home baking" to attract customers, here was the real deal,-the only disappointment being the finding too late, of a gateau displayed in the downstairs restaurant that was not visible when we arrived and took a table upstairs! Unusually, the fresh orange was just that. When we return to Kilmarnock this would be our first choice for lunch, or indeed high tea, which is served regularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but other days as well.

Get yourself to the Coffee Club to be treated to a brilliant high tea. Havent had a high tea since the days of Gordons......and wow this was even better! Good serving of the meal of which there are a fair few tasty choices. Just about enough room left for the mmmmmm cakes. Cakes are fresh and very very yummy. Staff are really second to none, cheery, helpful and friendly. I certainly will be making a return soon.

The fact that the revamped coffee club is now over 50 plus years old, under new ownership and still as popular as ever, the experience is altogether different, benefitting from the changing face of customers who do not belong to the blue rinse brigade, but a digital footballing age that i-plays, emails and twitters on while drinking a coffee and eating a bite through a more efficient self service upstairs whereas the established clubber still has the enjoyment of company favourites such as Crème De Barry downstairs... Reopened a year ago at the end of April, there were some celebratory banners on the wall inside as a bit of fun for those unaware of the changes, but getting past that and more importantly the excellent food and service proves when showcasing a re launched business a change should never be an alternative to a rest.

I love there Creme De Barry soup &amp; always get it when I go. They have good soup &amp; sandwich combos as well &amp; delicious homemade sweets .

Had high tea last Friday and it was really good. My mum and i had toast to start with, brown and white, and a pot of tea. I then had the cheese &amp; fruit salad and my mum had the chicken and bacon. The portions were big and food quality was very good. We shared chips which were also nice. I was stuffed and couldn't finish mine, and we still had cakes to follow. The cakes were brought over on a two-tier cake stand and consisted of strawberry tarts, scones with cream and jam, and other small cakes. The staff were really attentive and brought over another pot of tea for my mum and i. We couldn't finish the cakes so they put them in a box for us to take home! We got all that for only £9.95 each - really good value.I was really impressed with The Coffee Club and would highly recommend it. The decor is lovely, food great, cakes amazing and the staff are fab.
