The Gypsy Cream in North Ayrshire

Scones were just out of the oven (9:30am). Served with jam butter and cream - superb. Very friendly waitress(who was the owner). Lovely tea and coffee. Did not sample their breakfast menu but looked great. Would recommend a visit.

As a family of six we thoroughly enjoyed our various breakfasts at the Gypsy Cream. We were particularly pleased to find they opened at 9:30am as most other places did not seem to open until 10. The service was quick and the lady who served us very pleasant. My full Scottish breakfast was delicious. We would definitely return again when we are next in Largs.

Such a tasty spot! The staff is really sweet and helpful for travelers! Would come back many times! 10/10 in my opinion (:

Having read some of the reviews, we were slightly apprehensive but so glad we chose to ignore them and focus on the positive. Excellent food, friendly, efficient service. Try the sweet potato, chilli and coconut soup, it's delicious and it was piping hot. Lovely fresh mixed salad served with the baked potato and chilli con carne. And the gypsy creams we bought to take away were fab. We'll definitely be back.

Love this place.... Choice of fresh soups, sandwiches, cakes and all sorts of coffees. Great staff and they always make me feel welcome :)

Great cakes and buns served by very friendly staff. Probably best place in Largs for a coffee break or tea and scones. A hidden gem👍🏻👍🏻

Popped in here with my friend. Had a lovely cup of tea, splash of milk. Just the way I like it! Highly recommend and would never fail to pop back again

This cafe is not worth the effort. It’s expensive, has no atmosphere & we didn’t appreciate the manageress public patronising, scolding of a young, smiling, attentive waitress who couldn’t have been better with her customer service from the off. Not nice to overhear the nasty comments made, very disrespectful. My partner ordered coffee whist I ordered poached egg on toast. It was so very unappetising when it arrived. My partner left before he said anything not wanting to make a scene. Mine was so far away from poached egg on toast as you can see. It was also stone cold & very watery, the bread was definitely not fresh. I say the bread as it hadn’t stayed in the toaster long that’s for sure. The tabs of butter had been put on the bread, unfortunately when opened were both pure liquid. It truly was awful. There are far, far better places to enjoy food not very far away.

Service is first-class in the Gypsy Cream - staff are friendly, attentive and highly professional. Food is excellent and very good value, including really tasty salads and a great choice of soups. Just leave a little space for cake.

Excellent. We went there three days in a row because the soups and sandwiches are just delicious. Everyone there is really nice, and the prices are also great. Highly recommend.

Great home made soup, good food. Service was excellent

It is a measure of how much I enjoyed the Welsh rarebit and side salad when I forgot to pour my tea (I'm very much a tea Jenny) until my plate was all but clean! The rarebit was toasted to perfection on lovely granary bread, the coleslaw was delicious and the salad was the best I've ever had - full of little surprise ingredients. Hubby had the soup (lentil and ham) with a coronation chicken sandwich, which he declared excellent. Our only regret is that we left it so long to visit The Gypsy Cream! We will be back. Guaranteed!! Home baking was also purchased to take home with us.

Amazing little café. The bar has certainly been raised with this gem of a place. Not only are the staff extremely courteous and friendly but the food is lovely, we had the soup and the sandwich deal and it wasn't expensive at all. Highly recommended. 5 stars at least.

Just my opinion but I thought the full breakfast needed something like beans or tin tomatoes as the breakfast was dry, All cooked very well and tasty and my wife had a 3 egg omelette and that was very nice and cooked really well, The service by the young man was good, polite and chatty, Prices a little steep but once again just my opinion. I would recommend you give them a go for yourselves, local cafes need local people, Use them or lose them

Received a warm welcome from the owner when we arrived for breakfast just before it opened at 9am. The breakfast was delicious as well as good coffee. We would thoroughly recommend this cafe. Although we found it a little difficult to locate as it is set back a bit from the sea front, it was well worth it.

A little gem in a side street and could be easily missed.

I had coffee and cake here and fully recommend it. Great choices of food and cakes. Friendly staff.

Our first visit. It was very busy but there were a couple of free tables. They were short staffed so service was quite slow but the food was nice. Tasty jacket potatoes and the side salad was the best I’ve ever had! Packed with so many different things! Not a great selection of cakes on offer so didn’t bother to order any. There’s a note on the table saying they prefer cash payment which is something I’ve never seen before in a cafe/restaurant. I paid by card as I never carry cash.

Got an empire biscuit and it was revolting. Tasted of cheese and onion!? I managed two bites and served the local seagull it for lunch. £2.20 for the privilege,the ones that Lidl sell for 60p are far superior.

Great food and staff are so friendly and helpful.

Soup is amazing, it like the best home made soup your mum would make. The cafe is casual and down to earth.

First time there definitely will go back the food was 1st class an so was the staff

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and the food was piping hot and delicious.

One of the most delicious soups I have had. Sweet potato, coconut and chilli. Very warming on a wet cold day! Sandwiches also looked lovely

The staff were very rude and judgmental towards my friend due to their hair colour and tattoos which made the experience very unpleasant and uncomfortable for us. Would not recommend.

This place serves the most amazing soups I have ever tasted if you are ever in the area give them a try you will not regret it

Place is great for a bowl if soup , staff friendly and helpful. Can't really fault it tbf

Was lovely. Had Chicken Fajita soup, a first. It was lovely.

Yummy soups, friendly service, lovely lunch treat for hubby and me 😃

Superb Welsh rarebit with delicious interesting salad. Friendly service. Very good coffee. Attractive ambience. Highly recommend.

Arrived here hanging out of my box after being at a wedding in Largs. I ordered a full breakfast and my wife got the French toast. Both out of this world. I like my tea stewed to nonsense and the owner happily put 2 tea bags in the pot. It was so good I had 2 pots of tea. I left feeling human again so thanks a million. The owner was also very chatty which is always nice as the cafe was empty this early in the morning. Would return if I was down in this part of the world again.

Had a lovely lunch in here. Food was excellent and well presented. Service was friendly.

I'm so disappointed with the Scottish hospitality industry constantly complaining about lack of trade. We visited this tearoom today at 3.05pm on the busiest week of the year, chose a table and proceeded to the cake display to select something tasty, to then be told "Sorry, we're closed now".

A very pleasant establishment. They close at four, we got in around 15:15 and ordered some hot food, just in time really. Staff was friendly and helpful, can accommodate disability scooter but it is a tight squeeze. Worth another visit. A hidden away little place, usually found in the late afternoon if you don't know Largs.

Great cafe, great food all made to order ! Fresh & tasty, very friendly staff, busy place with a lot of repeat customers ! A must visit !! 👍

A friend came to stay and saw this place and knew she would like as did fresh soups and home baking. She loved it. I also enjoyed scrambled egg and toast and lovely coffee. We shared a empire biscuit and delicious and home made. Staff attentive and lovely

Decent wee place, staff were ok, just a bit bland and mostly old folk so no much of an atmosphere. Coffee was weak as....

A great wee cafe, it's no supprise its won awards. Will be my local.stop.off in largs from now.on.

Very nice cafe for meals well worth a visit

Had lunch here with my daughter and it was busy during the lunch hour . Lovely canvas photos of our local area and noticed they were for sale! Makes a lovely gift. The food was yummy and the peppermint tea was delicious. My daughter had the BLT and I had the soup of the day with side salad. The waitress was attentive and very polite. The atmosphere felt fresh and like part if the community. Well done Gypsy Cream👏 😍

We visited the Gypsy Cream coffee shop on Saturday the 2nd of April, we have been there a few times before and as usual the food was lovely. The staff are always pleasant and helpful, the shop is always fresh looking, it's quite a nice run down from Glasgow to Largs, and a pleasure to visit the Gypsy Cream.

Delicious homemade cakes and coffee. Wonderful service with a smile.

We were looking for a light lunch and found this place. A really good choice of menu, we decided on soup and half panini. The soup was absolutely delicious and with the panini it was just perfect. Great service too, couldn't fault it apart from the fact that they had no gypsy creams on the sweet menu! Will definitely be back on our next visit to Largs.

Long wait for food expensive. Will not be back

...they managed to find me a table. The curried soup was the very best. It warmed me up inside. The staff were very efficient and the food was piping hot. I compared this lunch to one I had recently and can only say the other one was industrial processed food and this one was top notch, fresh and wholesome. There will be no hesitation in going back to try other soup. They have three on evey day.

What a fantastic cafe! The food is beautiful, the home baking outstanding and everyone so incredibly friendly

Lovely wee cafe with yummy food and great service.

We were delighted with the service we received, the atmosphere was nice and staff were friendly. Everything we had was good and nicely served. The toilet facilities were excellent. We will definitely go back if we are visiting Largs again.

I visited today with my family , took 20 mins to take an order.after looking at menu and thinking it was a bit expensive decided that if the food was good it would be worth it. Mistake ! Soup was cold asked for it to be heated and was returned scorched with croutons that jaws would have done well to save his teeth on. Bowl roasting to touch which my wife was encouraged to lift off the tray and burnt her fingers. Disabled access was terrible with the entrance covered in fake flowers which were blocking an elderly couple who tried to get in with a wheelchair. Whole atmosphere seemed cold. £1.80 for a can of coke is ridiculous. I think that the inflated prices for very basic standard food.are excessive Nothing positive to say really. Far better options and quality in Largs than this.

Fabulous food and they’re dog friendly as well. I had Welsh Rarebit with best salad ever. Fresh leaves with the usuals but also feta, orange, blueberries and strawberries - very innovative.

Great little find, looking for independent coffee shop & found the Gypsy Cream Cafe. Friendly, cheerful staff & prompt service. Great coffee, & food

Cracking cafe, breakfast superb, had to go back to try the soup at lunch time amazing First class highly recommended

Delicious food good service very clean.

Week before, went in to the cafe/resturant and honestly couldn't fault it ,smashing food and clean , and smart service. Went in on wed 11 th august, it was a totally different experience , luke warm soup , ordered curry and got a spoon to eat it with, had to ask for a fork, rather odd ! was asked did I want my curry before my soup, again odd . My wife asked for her coffee after she finished her soup , she got it , without a saucer and no tea spoon or sugar , and wasnt hot , I also had to ask for salt and pepper , the service was terribly dissapionting after such a good previous visit . Whoever is the manager.this isn't good and needs fixing......

What a great place to go eat! It's clean, bright and the staff are lovely. The food is really tasty and the menu is varied enough to cater for everyone. Prices are just right too. Will definitely go back and i recommend everyone to go try it. You won't be disappointed.

Great coffee, okay food, nice treats and friendly staff.

Had a lovely lunch with my friend. Happy and comfortable atmosphere. Food very fresh and tasty, especially the Thai chicken and noddle soup. Sandwiches too more than enough for a lunch. Will return next time in Largs. Thanks.

Good staff presentation, excellent service and choice of food, whole heartedly recommend all try their varied menu***** and most important to me very clean toilets. Congratulations to all Staff. Ronnie 19/06/21.

This supposed to be an award winning cafe which was one of the reasons I chose to go here. Staff were civil but not did not feel very welcoming. We only went in for a cuppa, decided to have a treat to go with the tea. I ordered a tea with the teabag on the side, as I don't like strong tea. Tea came with teabag in the pot. Didn't say anything due to the vibe we got when I arrived. Don't think I would go back here.

Friendly welcome. Had the full breakfast, which although small, was good value for money. Coffee so good I had two cups.

Visited earlier today nice fresh and bright interior. Warm welcome and friendly service. Just in for coffee and cake nice selection and very tasty .

Very nice ,good food friendly staff and nice and quiet

Lovely food, friendly staff and quick service

Best soup EVER ! And they make a mean coffee

My daughter booked an afternoon tea for Mothers Day for me and I was thrilled to bits with it. What a fantastic selection of sandwiches, and cakes also 2 soups. It was really lovely and I would certainly recommend to anyone thinking about Easter. Well...

Personally I prefer this establishment to any other in Largs. Coffee, food delish. Place spotless, Staff helpful and pleasant. All you need to compliment your day out. But and there is always a but, the tablet while scrummy does nothing for the waistline 😋

We came across the Gypsy Cream after reading its positive reviews. We were not disappointed. On entering there is a station for hand sanitizing and providing contact details. All tables were separated by dividers and were thoroughly cleaned between each use. Staff were wearing face masks. The whole place was very clean looking including the toilet facilities. We both ordered food which was fantastic. A panini for me and soup and a sandwich for my partner. The food seemed high quality and the servings were generous. Would recommend.

Only soup n bread ordered, small bowl of soup and for what it was overpriced, disappointing again 😕

Lovely food pleasant staff can highly recommend

Had morning coffees and lunch here: both excellent as was the service. A deservedly popular eating place.

Terrific Cafe Soup amazing just fab

No soup. No Marie rose on the prawn sandwich had to ask. When we asked for sauce on the prawns the demeanor of the staff was as if we were the problem. Not cheap and not worth the money.

This is a little diamond tucked away up a side street in Largs Scotland. Really nice soup and sandwich. Very friendly and good service. Well worth a visit.

Lovely bright and spacious cafe. High quality food with a great selection of homemade soups and sandwiches.

The Gypsy Cream is a roomy and very smart cafe. The menu is relatively simple and majors on soups, salads, baked potatoes and hot and cold sandwiches, but they also do a few hot meals. We had a soup and panini combo and chose Cullen...

Went with friends had lunch very nice clean reasonable priced

People often say when in large head to Nardinis. Well we should really be saying head to theGypsy Cream Cafe. Fabulous food and great prices.

The food and service is always fantastic. Well priced good home made food.

This restaurant displays high standards Usual varied soups so no excuse on choices all served piping hot with a choice of bread Prompt caring attentive staff happy to help Lentil soup excellent Nice ambience. One of the best offerings in Largs! Nice clean fresh toilets...

We came here as a family of four with two young children, on the basis it had rave reviews. We were greeted and seated quickly. My wife wanted a baked potato. There were none. She then chose a steak sandwich, they had none so she...

Friendly staff, excellent sandwich and soup, lovely cup of coffee

Very friendly staff, very comfortable dining area. The walls are covered in local scenes on canvas(for sale at reasonable prices). The food is first class, my partner had Lentil and ham soup, I had the chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. The salad which accompanied...

Fantastic eatery for lunch. A must go to friendly place to have a catch up with friends.

Incredible soup and Welsh rarebit today!!! Don't come here too often, but NEVER disappointed.....

Popped in for lunch. Dog friendly.The homemade soups were delicious, hot and nourishing. The cakes were all homemade. Service excellent and reasonably priced. Would not hesitate to recommend and will certainly visit again.

Second visit and each time food has been fabulous. Soups are beautiful and sandwiches are packed full of flavour. Definitely recommend a visit.

This is a busy little restaurant- always a good sign- but nonetheless I felt unrushed and unhurried when I met up with an old friend for lunch and we needed a lot of time for our catch up! The staff were lovely, and so obliging,...

Great for allergies, food was delightful and staff were very helpful and friendly. It's a nice atmosphere and I would definitely return!

This is my favourite place in Largs all dishes made in their kitchen are superb. Must have had lunch there at least ten times and the food was always great recommend the chilli I have had that a few times. I would also like to recommend the chicken noodle soup but its always finished by the time we arrived so it must be great as we usually get there around 1 PM.

Visited at 2pm and no scones, no choice of cake, coffee cold, too pricey for what it is.

Strolling around looking for a bite to eat & we were lucky on finding this great place. I had the salmon sandwiches with salad, coleslaw & crisps. Fresh made and good to eat, a couple of squares of tablet with the coffee was a nice touch. Also had soya milk so win win. My daughter had gluten free sandwiches with egg mayo, salad & crisps, which she throughly enjoyed too. We also loved the decor of this great wee find. If you are looking for food in Largs this is well worth a visit. As it is spotless & have lovely staff too

Headed to Largs for a change and popped in to the Gypsy Cream which is just off the Main Street. The cafe was busy but had a lovely vibe. Menu had lots of choices and a great selection of soups. I plumped for the soup and sandwich deal and made a great choice. Ham and Lentil soup with a Brie and Caramelised onion sandwich. Meal was beautifully presented. Soup was piping hot and very tasty - mmm delic. Finished by having a mocha which was great. This came with a piece of tablet which must rate as being one of the best I’ve had.. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Tables were cleared as soon as the occupants left making the place look attractive. Parking for free in a road close by was a real bonus and definitely must attract visitors to this lovely seaside town. I’ve seen far too many such seaside places bring in car parking charges which has resulted in the town centre dying and cafes like the Gypsy Cream closing because the business becomes unsustainable.

Been several times, both to sit in and take away. The food is always delicious, especially the soups (spicy tomato soup is out of this world). Invariably busy but be persistant and you'll not be disappointed.

Dinnae where to start. Willnae go back! I've heard from staff working there that the managers watch ye on the cameras and gossip about ye in the kitchen while you're eating. The managers are horrible to their staff too. Nothing special about the food either, especially for the price. The lentil soup is too salty, the scones taste artificial, the wee cakes and treats are mingin'. Also, who is that big blonde coo? The manager? I saw her mouthing off at one of the staff members, threatening to fire them over something silly and when she looked at me I almost Usain Bolt'd oot the door because I thought she was gaunnae eat me. All jokes aside, DINNAE waste yer time going there. There are so many nicer places in Largs to go to.

A favourite cafe/restaurant for locals and tourists alike. Excellent service and food -well worth a visit.

Very nice place. Excellent food. Good value for money. Go there on a regular basis.

This is a great little cafe. Always has great service. The food is delicious. Soups are particularly good.

This is a great place. The food is good and the staff are friendly and helpful. Like most Scots of my generation I have an aversion to salad, but the salad which came with my panini was a delight.

Friendly staff, lovely soup, clean and reasonably priced.
