The Coffee Spot in South Lanarkshire

What a gem of a cafe! So pleased we stopped here for breakfast on way back to England rather than the motorway services with our boys aged 12 and 10. We all had something different from the breakfast menu and it was delicious and great value. The French toast with maple syrup and bacon was amazing. Cooked fresh and what lovely ladies who run this local cafe. We took cakes for the long journey and they were yummy too! We’ll make this our new pit stop for journeys back from our beloved Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you Coffee Spot Cafe ☕️ team!

Called in on Monday 11th March 24 at 3.15pm for tea and scones, absolutely fabulous place, scones husband had butter and jam I had jam and cream, mine came fully assembled love the touch of jam on both sides and cream in the middle and there was plenty of it, scone was beautiful, toilets lovely and clean, well represented and loved the cow theme, was thankful ladies/baby change toilet was represented as cows with calves rather than heifers, fabulous place to stop off, we will be back, keep up the great work. Ps can't add photos as devoured food as looked and tasted immense.

Stopped off for a coffee on the way home from Edinburgh. Really friendly staff. An excellent bacon roll and more importantly great coffee.

Used to go to this cafe regular but what a disappointment it was. Not the place it used to be for good food. Went with wife for lunch got seated ok then placed order after about ten minutes soup and sandwich were sitting ready toastie and chips still cooking 10 mins later still waiting then chips put beside them another 5 mins later food was brought over to table. Soup was like a bowl of cold porridge could stand your spoon up in it due to no liquid in it sandwich was curling up at edges due to sitting in heat from kitchen and chips were just warm.toastie was ok but no salad or anything with it just sat on plate. As I said we were regular customers but will never be back place has gone down hill since on in lanark opened.

My son and I stopped for lunch whilst walking in the area. We were most fortunate to have found this cafe. Food was cooked well , good service and at a very reasonable price. We will be back for sure

I saw this café when walking down the main street in Biggar - it's easy to find. I had soup and a dessert, coffee and cake. They all were very tasty and good value. Spacious café and friendly staff were a bonus!

Friendly staff, appealing and keenly priced menu. Full breakfast and small breakfast cooked to perfection with quality produce. Will definitely call in again when passing.

Very welcoming cafe, excellent prompt service and great food , a extensive menu with reasonable price, the baking is all homemade and food cooked fresh to order , would highly recommend a visit

It's the Coffee Spot that makes exactly what you order, my wife and I like a 1 shot with no foam latte ,it comes perfectly made every time,also a good light lunch, or a biggar one if you need, they also have takeaways at discount enjoy

What a great find on our journey for a bite to eat and drink. The breakfast was superb and all food is cooked to order and a reasonable price. The two ladies were extremely friendly which put a smile on our faces as weather wasn’t the best. Definitely worth the stop and easy parking right outside.

Fantastic friendly welcome, delicious breakfast and outstanding staff. If we are ever in the area again we will be back

Called in here on 20th August for a light lunch with American friends we had just collected from Edinburgh airport. The table was dirty but as it was busy I expected it to be cleaned when our order was taken. It wasn’t. After a long wait our order was taken but 10 minutes later another surly young girl came to check our order. A further long wait before our food was served. When it came items had still been missed even though our order had been double checked. As for the food, the bigger breakfast was tiny with the egg missing, all overcooked and glued to the plate. Much the same could be said of the other “meals” set in front of us. It was inedible. We should have refused to pay but did not want to make a fuss in front of our friends but one thing is for sure, we will never set foot in the place again. Following this experience I really can’t understand how it ever gets good reviews.

We have visited this cafe several times over the years and always found the people friendly and the food good. However, yesterday the place was empty around 3.00 and we wondered why. We soon found out. The kitchen was not very clean, the toilets left a lot to be desired and the waitress who brought our tea and cake 'dumped' it on the table. We won't be back.

Myself and my partner have visited The Coffee Spot a few times for breakfast now. The first time I came alone and found the breakfast to be really tasty. The service was a bit hit and miss, items were missed off the breakfast and my coffee didn't turn up until after I ate, but I could tell the young staff were a little flustered, so didn't mind too much. It was good enough for me to say to my partner that we should pop in again. When we did, unfortunately someone else must have been on egg duty, as mine were very undercooked and had lots of raw egg white wobbling on the surface - not my taste unfortunately. But everything else was still lovely. On our third trip, the eggs were different again, so it must literally just be down to who is on shift 😅 All in all, we do enjoy the food when we visit and it's certainly better service than Aroma down the road, so I would recommend for a no frills, fairly priced brekkie if you're in the area.

4 of us had a mix of full Scottish breakfast and porridge here and loved it, great food great value and very friendly service If passing by it is well worth a visit yummy

After five hours motor way driving we decided to detour off via Biggar for a change of scenery and to grab some lunch. Whilst driving along the high street we saw the Coffee Spot and with plenty of parking in front and a public loo down the way it was a no brainer to stop. So pleased we did, what a refreshing change from overpriced motorway service food. There were 6 of us at lunch time rush hour but that was no problem. We were quickly seated, everything was clean and tidy. As distancing was still in force, screens were up. The food was cooked fresh and delivered quickly by a very friendly waitress. We were tired and were made to feel very welcome and looked after. Recommended!!

Called in for quick bite to eat and was very surprised and pleased Really nice place with excellent staff and friendly very clean plus excellent value

Sadly we couldn’t drink our takeaway latte and cappuccino for our road trip back to Edinburgh as they were disgusting. Boiling hot (they’d burnt the coffee) and utterly tasteless. Sadly one of the worst coffees I’ve ever had. It’s a shame such establishments can continue to be in business when they offer such dodgy coffee at ambitious prices. We will not be returning.

We have been regulars the coffee spot for over 20 years, however this may no longer be the case. We visited today just after 1pm, on opening the door the lady who was cooking barked at us "There's no tables" which took us slightly aback no normal friendly greeting . My daughter then asked if she knew how long the wait was likely to be? The reply once again in an aggressive tone was to the effect that she didn't know as she was stuck in the kitchen. We asked if take away was available and the lady then barked at one of the younger members of staff to come and take our order. Whilst we were waiting several tables became available, the food when we got home and ate it was of the normal high standard. We are really sad about the treatment we received today and as I said we have been regular customers and my daughter even worked there for a time whilst at university. However after today I don't think we shall be using the coffee spot again.

having been to this cafe before several times with positive experience, was very disappointed to find it staffed today by immature adolescents some of which were more interested in their social interaction than their work. The male server I had was particularly gauche and self preoccupied. Having sneezed explosively across the room, he did not attempt to wash hands or use disinfectant gel before proceeding with food service. He also forgot to organise my food order and at that point I decided it was better to eat at home. I may give this nother go as it has not been like this before but if this were my first time here it woud certainly be my last. Suggest you look at your choice of staff and consider employing adults.

It is actually worth changing a planned route,to come down the A702 between Edinburgh and the M74, just for a stop over and a bloody good feed. I often use the motorway network to travel south from Fife but if the time suits and there is no hurry I much prefer the Biggar Road just to breakfast at The Coffee Spot. Great food served piping hot and fresh by lovely staff. Sets you up just braw for a long journey.

Quick stop on way to Penrith from Edinburgh. We have driven this route so many times but never stopped in Biggar.Breakfast at The Coffee Spot was faultless. Friendly staff, good food, decent price and according to my daughter the best ever Hot Chocolate topped with Maltesers.This may well be our regular stop and beats any service station offering.Will be back

Went down to Biggar on Saturday morning to take the wife and three grandchildren out for their lunch. We arrived at The Coffee Spot just after twelve, the place was going like a fair, people standing outside and people at tables outside. However the owner told the five of us to come in as there was a large enough table available. We were handed menus, then our order taken and then the food and drinks appeared on the table shortly after that, it was incredible as we all had a different meal! The service was friendly and first class! The food was nice and everyone of us enjoyed our lunch, would certainly go back and eat at The Coffee Spot!

After visiting the museum for and hour and a half we were ready for. A good sign was, that we had to wait for a table. Good selection of basic food and cakes

Had a lovely time. Great food. Great service. In love with the coffee spot. On the way to Manchester there was a little coffee shop Andre I'm glad we stopped.

We were on our way to Dundee and decided on a scenic route. On our way towards Edinburgh we decided we needed a bite to eat.

Had the Biggar breakfast,fresh filling fantastic food.local sourced food from local butchers. Always clean with friendly staff.

We called in here for a coffee, having just spent an hour in the nearby museum. The home made cakes looked so inviting that we added those too, and very nice they were. The cafe was very busy, with a lot of locals usng it, which is always a good sign.

We were on a 300-mile trip and the Coffee Spot came just at the right time. It was very busy and people were waiting for tables. We just wanted a break and a coffee. My wife wanted a cake. She chose a lemon tart thinking it would be soft as she had had her bottom teeth extracted. When it came she put a knife in the cake, it was hard. Staff changed it for something soft without any fuss. The Coffee Spot seams popular with the local people, Especially the children.

Not been here for ages but called on Sunday late morning when they were VERY busy (that tells you people like it!). Had two delicious bacon and egg rolls, £5, cooked fresh for us, excellent quality and polite, friendly staff. We will be back...love the 'chit chat' by the way.

First they microwave a bunch of the food. Second got a panini and they put it on a baguette. Food quality is not good here. Go elsewhere.

I have been in 3 times, on way to Edinburgh for treatment at hospital. It brought a smile to my face, even though a bit down, It made me feel at home, live on farm. It has a nice feeling to it, the food was great and so was the service. The toilet signs were so funny. The cow biscuits were great to. Hope to be back soon.

Nice place to go for breakfast or lunch. Freshly cooked and served hot! Coffee is a bit nasty tasting.

My kids loved "the cow cafe" , as they've named it, and so did we!

Just stopped here en-route to Newton-le-Willows from a Edinburgh and what a little gem!!

Lovely little sit in cafe. Food fab. Service really good. Well done for menu. Better than we expected. Looking forward to a return visit. More than I can say for the Tinto Hotel :(

A perfect first stop on our trip south from Edinburgh - delicious brunch for all the family. Bigger Breakfast was huge - Big breakfast was easily big enough. Great value and service was fast too!

Excellent food and service. Their cakes are wonderful. Soup great too. All in all everything is prepared fresh and served with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

3 girls working behind the counter were all so friendly every time I went in. Toasties were delicious and there was minimal wait time.

Popped in for breakfast while travelling back to Wales. The staff were warm and friendly and the breakfast was delicious as well as great value for money. There were clearly a lot of local people dining there and the take away was very popular with workmen. Always a good sign. We were also impressed by the fact that we actually saw the bacon and sausages etc being carried across the road from an exceptional butcher opposite. You don't get more local produce than that! Highly recommended.

Great little cafe good home cooked fresh food. Cheery service with a smile and delicious homemade cakes. A right little gem

We were looking for somewhere to stop for lunch, and TripAdvisor told us that this cafe was closed today. So we set out in search of an alternative in this small town. But we happened to find a carpark close to the Coffee Spot, and noticed that it was indeed open - and busy. Popular with the locals, we got the last table. Standard cafe fare,

We nearly always stop here on our way back home from Edinburgh, and can never fault the service. From having the time for a sit down meal to grabbing a quick sandwich/tostie and tea/coffee to beat the traffic, we always have a friendly welcome. Always busy but attentive staff, good food and drinks and extremely reasonably priced. For 3 drinks and 3 sandwiches/tosties it cost £10. Would not get food of that quality for that price at a chain! Have yet to sample the cakes, but maybe next time... We will be back.

Stopped off for a coffee and cake. Nice coffee and service and excellent selection of home baking. Set overlooking Lanark Loch with nice walks.

Popped in for a coffee and a scone earlier today. The mug of coffee was very nice, but the treacle scone with jam and cream was ' absolutely fabulous '. I will definitely return and will not hesitate in recommending a visit. Pleasant helpful staff. Thanks.

May be a bit harsh to rate as Average but I can only rate for what I had. I had the Scottish Breakfast. From what I saw they cooked their bacon, Lorne sausage and black pudding on a double sided electric grill. This squashed the sausage and black pudding and they plus the bacon were over cooked.

Went in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. All staff very friendly and accommodating. Service very good and range of meals acceptable. Would go back. Give it a try.

We have been on numerous occasions and are never disappointed. Everything is home made on site and so fresh. The baking and cakes are amazing.

We arrived in biggar for a look around and a good hearty bite to eat. We came across the coffee spot in the corner at biggar town centre. The girls were so welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing we ordered a roll with sausage + black pudding , a tuna mayo and cheese toastie and a sweet chilli chicken and cheese toastie. All came to roughly £9 so reasonable and so tasty ! If your in Biggar i recommend visiting here.

They need to stop serving reheated sausages, and bacon. The Latte and smoothy was lovely. Maybe they where just having a bad day, who knows, but when I am paying the prices they are charging for food, I want freshly cooked food, and not something that has been laying for an extended period of time, then popped back onto the hot plate. It is very easily spotted, as the sausage was cremated on top and bottom, as well as the bacon.

A few weekends ago i came to The coffee spot for the frist time and was very suprised. I was greeted and the door by a lovely young lady called kayleigh and was taken to my seat almost straight away, i was very pleased with the staff and so was my nine year old grandson. Even though it was very busy kayleigh and rebecca seemed to always have a smile and keep everything under control!. Would deffiently come again for tea and cake, loved it!

We enjoyed afternoon coffee with malteser cake and scone with cream and jam. Delicious and well priced. Our young Red headed waitress was chatty and very capable. Lovely visit.

We stopped along the Biggar high street for a short break while driving to Ellisland Farm. Everyone in our party had a lovely snack/drink. My daughter and I had amazing smoothies, especially the berry smoothy. The cow decor was so fun!

We have stopped at The Coffee Spot twice now, whilst travelling from Edinburgh to the M74 on the Tourist route to Edinburgh. The cafe is very welcoming and the atmosphere great, it is clear that locals use the cafe to meet up but it is great for passing traffic too with a big car park outside.

Perfectly pleasant. The coffee is good. The cakes are well put together and visually appealing. It is popular and therefore busy with pressure on the service.

Have eaten lunch here before and enjoyed it, so took my friends her for lunch. One person had fish which she enjoyed. Myself and another friend had 'home made lasagne'. It was home made two to three days ago. The sauce had congealed and the liquid absorbed into the pasta to form a stodgy mass that was tasteless. It was inedible.My friend approached a staff member and complained and was told we would not be charged for it. When we went to pay the bill the cafe owner instructed the staff member to charge me for a small portion. I objectedvas i had not eaten it only tasted it, but was charged £5+ for some frozen tasteless chips and a side salad. The meal was substandard and should never have been served. I expect fresh home made food not 2 day leftovers. There are many quality cafes in Biggar. I'll be giving them my custom in future. Appauling food and service.

Called in here for a quick light lunch. Opted for the soup of the day, lentil. There were no bread buns left so we had toast instead, not ideal.The soup was tasty.

Zur Kaffeezeit haben wir etwas zur Einkehr gesucht und haben sehr kurz entschlossen unser Auto vor dem Coffee Spot zum stehen gebracht.

Stopped off for a take away breakfast roll yesterday morning. Always a friendly and warm welcome, despite the cafe being busy for sitting in and take aways. My roll was however disappointing the bacon was very fatty and stringy and the roll did not feel fresh, the top of it was falling apart. Scott's roll however was fine and he says tasted delicious - square sausage. That said it must have been a blip as we have had many take aways and sit in meals and all have been lovely. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Food only rate average on this occasion based on the bacon roll, food is normally very good. Would I go back and would I recommend - yes and yes.

I love the coffee spot, it’s a no-nonsense eatery with great food and service. Food is always freshly prepared , great coffee and always a good place to start the day.

lovely atmosphere friendly staff cakes looked amazing and all home made, food looked good we were going somewhere else so did not try.

We got here half an hour before they closed for the day and it was surprisingly busy with a very good mix of ages. We both had soup, I had the scotch broth and my friend had the vegetable and a slice of gluten free toast each.

This is an unpretentious are well used by locals and visitors. There is quick, efficient service from friendly mature staff who are happy to accommodate some flexibility in requests re menu and ensure that things like replacing fresh milk on the table are done and tables are cleared and fresh . There is a range of food from full breakfasts , soup, sandwiches, snacks and home baking. Good coffee with options re mug/ cup etc. It isn't the usual kind of cafe I favour but i have found myself returning to it because it is consistently pleasant and also good value.

Great food at very reasonable prices

Went in here for a breakfast. Several choices for cooked breakfasts but didn't go for the Biggar breakfast but the one below it. Everything was cooked to order and very nice; sausages looked like butcher's sausages and were a bit salty but very tasty. The place has a homely atmosphere and suggests home cooking with service to match. Busy place and worth the visit

Went a run down to Biggar last week and dropped into The Coffee Spot it's had a face lift since...

Visited here for lunch which was tasty and nicely served. Staff were friendly and seating comfortable. Baking delicious.

A favourite spot for coffee with a great menu and very friendly staff to look after you. They really know...

Good friendly service with good tea, coffee and smoothie. Look forward to visiting again. I'll try the cakes next time.

I'd like to thanks and compliment the young lady who served us at the café on the best customer service we have come across. Long story short she helped us with recommending accommodation for the night in Biggar and then while we were taking a stroll through the village, stopped on her way home and asked if we were alright. So sorry we didn't get her name but the futures strong with young people like her.

Stopped off in Biggar and stumbled upon this little gem. A warm, friendly welcome by attentive staff made us feel we’d made the right choice. We both went for the homemade lentil soup and toastie combo and very good it was too. Scrummy!

My friend and I were travelling back to Fife after Electric Fields Festival and stopped here for some food to fuel the journey. We both had the vegetarian breakfast which comes with tea (or coffee) and toast and was a bargain at £5.45 each. The breakfast was very plentiful and our eggs were cooked to perfection, was just what we needed after a weekend of partying. The breakfast consisted of mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, eggs, fried bread and a tattie scone as well as the toast and tea, it was all really lovely. However, it might have been nice to have a vegetarian sausage as well.

We were cycling through and chose this cafe as our lunch stop. Good clean cafe with a good range of choices at reasonable prices. Staff were all very friendly and the waitress was quick to take our order, service was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday lunchtime. We did have to wait a while for a table big enough for us. I think the staff should seat people as there were a number of couples at tables for 4. A kind customer gave us her larger table otherwise we would have had a longer wait. Food was great when it arrived and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cafe.

Excellent food and service. A real find. By far the best coffee shop in Biggar. Would thoroughly recommend. Beautiful home baking and lovely coffee.

We came here for a resting stop as part of a solo world record attempt to roller ski from John O'Groats to Land's end for charity.The service at coffee spot has been terrific and the staff (Megan and Ann) have been very welcoming and accommodating. The food was served with little waiting time and is exactly what was needed after finishing an early morning roller ski session. On top of this, the breakfast was offered for free. So instead of paying the bill, we are donating the money towards the chosen charities.We appreciate your kind generosity and services. Thank you coffee spot!

This looked like a greasy spoon from outside (no offence intended greasy spoons!) but the inside revealed some interesting cow-based art and some really very good food. The bacon rolls were delicious and frankly the breakfasts and cakes going to the other tables looked equally so - we will definitely be back to try some more

We called in on our way back down to England from a long weekend in Edinburgh, only really stopped as kids needed out of the car but so glad we did, the place is maybe a little over the top with cows inside but didn't both the adults or older child and it really made it fun for the 6yr Old who loved it We ordered a basic late lunch and drinks -sandwiches and toasties green tea, Mocha and juice, although basic it was all very nice. The staff were welcoming and friendly during the time were spent there and we didn't feel rushed. Kids lunch offer also came with a cow biscuit that was much more fun than we expected and helped to keep the kids happy back in the car

Hello Called here with the family last Sunday for breakfast on the way to Edinburgh. We stopped a lady in town and asked her were we should have our breakfast.She told us to go to The Coffee Pot, she did us proud !!!!!!Lovely little cafe and very clean, truly wonderful staff (very friendly)I love the sign on the wall, we don't cook fastfood we cook good food as long as it takes.We all had a wonderful breakfast and this set us up for the day. I look forward to a return visit Thank you Brian ( Lancashire )

Having gone to Biggar to visit the Museum it was convenient to nip in here and have a mid morning cuppa. Very pleasant place, good coffee and make granddaughter decided to have a 'full' breakfast'. We all helped her with the black pudding, best I have ever tasted

I love this café, its warm and welcome as you walk n the door. the smells and sounds, it gets very busy. we had breakfast and coffees. I tried the home made cakes, lovely well worth it. a lot of local people in there, which is a good sign.everything cooked lovely, if its busy a bit slow, but that is understandable. everything was hot and served ok.

Visited here recently & enjoyed a delicious lorne sausage roll with a pot of tea. Finished off with coffee & cake! Need I say more! Staff welcoming and friendly.

My dad and I went here on Friday on our way down south and got coffee and Bacon rolls. Best bacon roll we had eaten in ages and lovely strong coffee. I managed to leave my sunglasses and the pretty, ginger waitress sprinted down the other end of the high street to give me them which was really sweet

My friend and I visited this coffee shop mid afternoon. We really liked the atmosphere and found the staff very friendly. Each of us had a latte and a perfect piece of millionaires shortbread. The cost was 7 pounds in total, which I thought was very good. All the customers who came in were cheerful and enjoyed a bit of a joke with the staff. It seems to be a popular place.

Can't fault this place really good quality food and service was outstanding I also liked the décor very quirky

We went to The Coffee Spot after visiting Biggar Museum, 2 doors away. It serves very reasonably priced, home cooked food with friendly service.
