Wooleys of Arran in North Ayrshire

My third day on Arran and each day came to Broddick branch All good: pies cake coffee Friendly staff.Highly recommended

Brilliant place we stopped in for cakes and left with pizza rolls x2 they were amazing so tasty we also got cakes both delicious. We also returned the next day for coffee and breakfast rolls coffee was a good strong coffee and the rolls were well filled and delicious!

Amazing take away food. I popped in to get a late lunch (2.30pm) and had an wonderful steak pie for around 2 pounds. Had to go back the next day and had the quiche lorraine and a rice crispy cake. Both delicious. Very reasonably priced. The only caveat is it sells out fast, so make sure to not leave it to too late in the day!

Early morning brekkie, just off ferry ⛴️ Great coffee, sausage rolls and rhubarb pie 🥧 very tasty 😋

The square sausage and bacon roll plus coffee I had was delicious. I ate this whilst watching the world go by looking out to Brodick bay absolutely great food and service

When you come to Arran, you must swing past Wolleys ! They supply a variety of freshly made pastries, cakes and their own oat cakes. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and always smiling. Can’t wait to come by next time I’m on the island !

All round good offerings, great coffee and offer oat milk which is a bonus, cakes all old school and really good and the variety of warm pies and pastries were also super tasty. Decent value, would definitely return.

Had a wee trek round Arran with my mates. Stopped for a coffee and a steak pie. The coffee magic and the steak pie was the best I have ever had. Great wee delicatessen.

Lovely takeaway shop with an excellent selection of pies pastries sandwiches and sweet treats. Lovely helpful staff and nothing was too much trouble. It’s busyness on a Wednesday afternoon is testament to how good it is. Best hot chocolate ever!

When you see a queue outside a take away coffee shop its a fair chance that it will be a good coffee ...and it was . It was worth the wait , the Americano coffee and home made Rhubarb Pies were very good

Fabulous bakery in the heart of Brodick, amazing selection of savoury and sweet pastries. The Scotch Pies are to die for!

Was in the Lamlash bakers in August. Decent bakers, place is quite sparse but clean and tidy. Sausage rolls, cakes and coffee were excellent if perhaps a tad pricey. The woman serving was friendly and pleasant. Decent bakers.

Cannot stress enough how good the quality of food is here. Delicious mince and onion pies with quality meat and the steak slices are fantastic too. The staff will warm the pies up for you if you like.So many wonderful cakes to choose from too, highly recommend the iced gingerbread and fudge doughnuts. Great vegetarian and vegan options too.

Used the bakery twice during our week holiday. Fabulous bakery and what a choice ! You must visit ! Excellent

Absolute must! Only wish we had went more often! the entire family had cakes,pies, bridies and there wasn’t a single bit left over! Amazing food & we even got some of their homemade potato scones to take home! So good would highly recommend! *recommend visiting early in the day though as things do sell out fast!

We spent a week in Arran in August and tried out quite a few of the different bakeries / coffee shops (we did a lot of exercise, honest). Wooleys in Brodick was the only one we revisited. The main reason was value for money. The coffee was excellent, the cakes and quiches were delicious and it was VERY reasonably priced. I go to a lot of "cycling cafes" in the UK on my various rides and usually pay 1/3 to 1/2 as much again for a couple of coffees and a couple of snacks. I think the first time we went we had a couple of hot drinks and a couple of tray bakes and it was about 8 quid. Not only that, it was lovely and the service was excellent. On the last day, we picked up a couple of quiches, a couple of cakes, 1 coffee and a pack of their oatcakes and it came to £12. I don't want to paint myself as someone who worries more about money than quality so just to be clear, this was brilliant value for excellent food and coffee!! I implore you, you MUST try the gingerbread! We will be back!

What more can we say. Enjoyed a quiche and a steak pie and lovely cakes for afters. Highly recommend.

Just had the most delicious tomato and chorizo soup for lunch. Rich and hearty. Excellent, friendly service.

Their pies are fantastic particularly the steak and black pudding! So good we have put in an order for our wedding! Also worth trying their vegan sausage rolls taste better than any pork one I have tried!

Lovely homemade baking and picnic foods, Rhubarb crumble was delicious as was the Quiche and Honeycomb cake bar.

We bought our picnic food here every morning of our stay on the island. The food is delicious and the staff were very polite and helpful.

This bakery is a little gem and is definitely worth visiting while staying on Arran! They have a wide range of delicious produce which you can tell is homemade. From lovely quiches to scrumptious chocolate treats. Would really like to give 10 stars as it was so good!! However it is a great bakery with handmade local produce and I would recommend to anyone in an instant.

Lovely little bakery, sweet & savoury plus bread. Try the individual rhubarb or apple pies or the deep individual quiches, mmmmm Or the various chocolate treats, millionaires shortcake or crispy cake. or the individual carrot cakes

We came across this little shop while walking along the seafront in Brodick. What a lovely little bakery full of goodies. We bought pies and cakes - all delicious.

Early morning rolls and tasty bits for lunch from the bakery,nicely presented and good value.Centre of the village in Brodick and only 5 minutes from the pier.

With a name like Woolleys I thought this would be a knitting shop but far better than that they have pies, bread, cakes and mouthwatering biscuits. Great for snacking on the move.

We stocked up here as our break was self catering. Delicious, fresh home baking, wish they were nearer home.

Grabbed some pies, sausage rolls, and fine pieces and ate them down on the beach with the bairns. Tasted awesome and saved a fortune compared to eating lunch in a cafe.

Absolutely love this place! Amazing selection, delicious pastries and scones, salad boxes are huge! Highly recommend a visit to Woolys!

Ended up going two days in a row. The pizza wrap was amazing and the panini the next day also very good. Great value for money too.

Well worth checking this Arran Bakery out. We had freshly made sandwiches in breadrolls everyday for a week. Very satisfying. Call in at their outlets in Brodick and Lamlash, there are other delicious cakes to enjoy. Don't miss it.

The best rolls available on the island. Delicious cakes too at good prices with friendly service. My family have shopped here, while on holiday, for years and the quality is consistently good.

Brilliant wee bakers stopped in to get some pastries for lunch while on a day trip to arran the nacho cheese haggis pie was amazing so was the pizza roll thing lovely food and staff we're really helpful aswell giving us directions

Went to Arran for a Rat Race event and was advised to visit Wooley's for a pie...…….lordy that was possibly one of the best pieces of advice ever.

We popped in here to buy some fresh rolls. We also bought a lovely crusty loaf and lemon iced ginger cake. The rolls were superb as was the bread. Top quality. The ginger cake was the best I have ever eaten. Moist, light and superb ginger flavour offset by sweet but tangy lemon icing. An excellent bakery.

Once again a fantastic day out in Arran, lunch at Wooleys, the best steak pie, it never fails. The sun was shining and we ate our lunch on the beach, couldn't get any better. Staff always friendly and food the best value in Arran.

The sausage rolls put greggs to shame. Highly reccomend. I could eat them everyday, problem is i did and now im fat.

Bought a couple of cakes here and they were definitely not that day. Took packet of biscuits for home and only noticed when got home that the box must have got wet (no rain that day) obviously stock in shop got wet some way and because of this biscuits inside were soft, not impressed at all in fact very disappointed.

A sandwich shop with hand-crafted food for take out. Convenient location in Brodick where the ferry lands on the Isle of Arran.

Stopped in here for filled rolls prior to heading off on a hike. Excellent choice of hot food like pies, sausage rolls to go, filled rolls and cakes. Our rolls were delicious !

of we LOVE these cakes - we had to take a detour to go back and get some more - mmmmm - specially the carrot muffin we totally fell in love with it

The choice of cakes and bread is very good. A great selection of sandwiches to take away with hot drinks available.

This was a popular visit on our holiday. Excellent range of sweet and savoury treats. At least one member of our group visited it every day, sometimes more than once!

Great range of freshly made breads and cakes. Makers of fantastic famous oatcakes. Everything looked delicious.

A lovely range of pasties, pies, pizza wraps and sandwiches, plus some lovely cakes, but most memorable of all is that everyone who works here seems to love their job so much!! We made three visits in 7 days.

So much to choose from and all looks delicious. Friendly service Individual quiche and strawberry tarts and crumbles all worth a try

We always go here once off the boat and sit over at the shore front to eat. This is a fantastic little bakery with food to die for. The pies surpass any other bakery in our opinion. The steak pie and steak and black pudding pie are crammed full with meat. The haggis and cheesy mash pie is delicious too. And the pizza wraps are like a full sized pizza wrapped up, we need to share it between two! We haven't tried any of the sweet treats because we know we'll be full after the savory but they do look amazing. We eat here almost every day for lunch when we are visiting Arran. I didn't have any bad experiences with the staff. They seemed pleasant enough.

This bakery is incredible- I could have ate an apple slice every day-best I've had ever! All the food looks amazing-that home baked look and taste. Generous portion sizes, good prices, friendly staff, cool island atmosphere. I was able to get a buttered roll several days to take on bus trips when going to remote places on the island-no bother. Sausage rolls, and pastry items looked good and items sell out fast-so get there early!

Always call here a few times when on Arran. The different amount of cakes and pies etc is great. This time over several days we had plain steak pie, steak and black pudding, haggis and cheesey mash, steak slice, pizza wraps and sausage rolls. The steak in their pies is gorgeous big chunks that fall apart in your mouth. No fat or gristle at all. The best cake slice by far was the raspberry and coconut. Wish they did deliveries to England. Overall highly recommended as it puts the likes of Greggs etc to shame. Can't wait for next Arran visit to sample more goodies. Cheers Wooleys

Tried the traditional mince pie. The pastry was crisp & light, the meat so tasty. Other, more modern options such as the chorizo quiche & pizza slice/wrap were equally delicious. Perfect to eat on the nearby beach, or sheltering from the rain by the co-op as we did. A great find. We weren't even put off by the slightly grumpy sales assistant!

Went in to buy their oat cakes and could not believe the selection of baked goods that they served. You could purchase any of the meat pies and they would heat it up for you to go! Wish I had discovered it earlier because I would have loved to have eaten one of their meat pies!

Friendly service and great picnic options Soup and hot pies in the autumn Picnic for summer Cakes and treats Oat cakes to take home the best

I would recommend all their loaves. The oat cakes are legendary.Excellent traybake and super filled rolls.I have always enjoyed everything that i have bought here.

This is a great little spot. Really nice food and good service not to mention good prices! Thoroughly recommended for food on the run. Soup to die for!

Excellent bakers on Arran with a couple of shops. Stopped in the Brodick bakery for hot pies, tasty sandwiches and some sweet treats. Also offer hot and cold drinks, crisps etc.

The bakery had lots of tasty looking food, but the scotch pie I ordered really wasn't up to the mark, in fact I didn't finish it which is rare for me. The macaroni cheese pie was however delicious as were the oat cakes and fresh bread.

Look in the window and then go inside, hot food great, cold food Good good good, cakes oh dear don't look if you are watching your waistline. Thanks Wooleys

Helpful and friendly staff. Good local baked food (baked on the premises). A good selection of take-aways - sandwiches, rolls, baps, etc. A wide selection of very tempting and tasty Sweets. I particularly liked the chocolate covered custard filled doughuts!

We always visit when on Arran.The filled rolls are varied , good value freshly made and great for lunch on the move.Their hot snacks and soups are good as well.

The produce in this bakers is delicious! We had a Stromboli type pizza slice with chicken and tomato for lunch with lovely coffee that we had overlooking Brodick Bay!

We ate some poor food at Arran restaurants and had virtually given up on the place until we found this little bakers that puts everything else to shame.

Great selection of cakes, pies and pasties, good quality coffees etc to take away! Wee selection purchased to bring home!

Delicious items at a reasonable price. Wide range of top quality savoury and sweet items, great Chelsea buns!

Amazing savory pies ... had both a Scotch pie (meat) and a vegetable quiche for lunch. As I write this will be heading back for some dessert. Take your pies across the road to the park benches and enjoy the best views around.

Every year I stop off at Wooleys of Arran for their oatcakes. They are a taste sensation and just the ticket to go with some Torrylinn world award winning cheddar and a glass of red.

Went to Wooleys today. Was served by a young blonde girl who was rude to the customers including myself. She subsequently mocked these customers to her colleague while they were leaving the shop (well within ear shot) and in front of the rest of the shop. If she hadn't been so Ill mannered I would have felt embarrassed for her. Pastry itself was lovely but due to staff like that I will not be back.

The food at this bakery in Brodick is actually extremely good. Our family has been using the bakery for many years and have always had good experiences in the past but this is the last time for us.

Excellent produce ,good value. Great selection of bread,pies,rolls and pastries. Able to buy in bulk and freeze produce. Soup fantastic and varied types.

I am a baker, and always on the lookout, worldwide, for bakerys. Woolies did not disappoint. Tiny but many offerings. Small round rhubarb tartlets had plenty of rhubarb filling...crust could be baked more golden but still delicious. Daily donuts are great! Excellent. Many flavors of tablet, the local fudge. Simpler flavors I liked better. Bread is excellent and they are famous for their packaged oatcakes...great gifts to take for a small offering. Eat with the local Arran cheddar cheese. The small quiches are good for lunch.

Always worth a visit. We buy excellent bread. The best oatcakes going Great filled rolls. Super baking an tray baked.Rocky road is first class. Hot rolls and pastries are good as well

A great bakery selling a large variety of cakes, doughnuts, fruit pies etc, a great selection of savoury items and take away coffees. Can recommend the doughnuts (fudge), rhubarb pies, apple pies, and the coffee but everything looks yummy especially the savoury goodies.

Rhubarb crumble, empire biscuits, rolls, bread, potato scones all absolutely delicious. Staff warm and friendly. Pies looked tasty too.

Four of us had a variety of pies and cakes and we enjoyed all of them. They can heat your savoury goodies to take away They also sell tea and coffee to take away.

A good bakery with delicious breads and particularly good oatcakes. We specially liked the little strawberry tarts too.

We had haggis and cheesy mash pie with a selection of tray bakes. All were delicious. We ate them on the benches outside with a takeaway tea/coffee.

What a super find- and such friendly service- Wife loved the cusard filled doughnuts so much that we arranged to island hop on our way back home so she could smuggle some back - I had a couple of the savoury pies ,the black pudding n steak- heaven.

Some lovely bread and cakes with a good choice of hot snacks, sandwiches. Excellent friendly service

I have been visiting Arran since the 60's , we used to camp in Glen Rosa and walk down to Wooley's early in the mornings, go round the back door of the bakery and buy hot rolls straight out of the oven. Happy days!

A very inviting window display of cakes. We bought a date slice and a raspberry and coconut slice - delicious. Just a shame that the girl serving us was pre-occupied and brusque to the point of rude - didn't return.

Fab morning rolls ,bread and cakes . Always visit for goodies . Oatcakes are amazing too , especially the Oaties. Take them home with you , brilliant with Arran cheese and chutney .

Popped in after seeing the great display of cakes and other baked goods in the window. Great selection of soups, sandwiches, breads and pies. Everything so fresh, staff were very helpful.

Wooleys of Arran offer a fine selection of freshly baked goods, hot food and take away beverages. You can't sit in but that's ok. If you're on Arran and the weather is nice you have plenty of beaches and benches to enjoy your food or drink with. We visit Arran a lot and always visit this bakery. They can run out of products in high season so first come first served is often the case. On the whole I recommend a visit to Wooleys. Their bread is divine.

Can't sit in but excellent take away.

Wooleys is Arran's best bakery (there are only two), and is conveniently situated in Brodick where the ferry comes in. It does not have tables or space to eat in, but for takeaway lunches it is excellent. On offer are sandwiches, filled rolls, hot or cold pies, bridies, pizza slices, etc. Also hot soup to carry out, an hot drinks. The fridge contains some cheese, etc. Wooleys also do bread and rolls (very good rolls) and oatcakes that are renowned way beyond Arran's shores.

great friendly staff, homemade chicken pies, soups and cakes. The homemade sausage rolls are amazing.

Great scones and buns, we had a nice loaf and a terrific couple of cakes. Nice friendly staff when we were in considering it was closing time, unfortunately all the Empire Biscuits were gone by this time !

Went for a little walk along the front from the Auchrannie resort and stumbled across Wooleys. Went in and order soup of the day which was courgette and leek - lovely very tasty. Also a steak and black pudding pie which again was jam packed with filling. We also took back to our room a small rhubarb pie and an empire biscuit. Lovely!

Going to Arran on a weekly basis, I always take a packed lunch with me. On my last visit I had forgotten it, & went into the best pie shop EVER!!! I'm a great lover of a good mince pie, but this has to be the VERY best I have ever had. Very tasty lamb, & potato topping. The pie was full & filling, with no fat or grease.

There oatcakes are the best really really good, so are the oaties small one oat cakes, Nice baker lovely rustic bread and nice cakes and not bad link sausage rolls.

We popped into this bakery after finding a number of cafes had shut for the end of the season. We are really glad we did as the selection and service wad great. We all ordered different things but the true highlight was the steak and black pudding pie - without question it was one of the best pies we have all ever tried. We loved them so much that have been back again to stock up on pack lunches for the next few days. Highly recommended.

Amazing range of breads, rolls, cakes and pastries, all top quality. They also have meal deals which are great value. Looking at the other reviews, I wish I'd tried the steak pies!

Popped into Wooleys for a snack whilst vising Brodick for the day. Best steak pie we have ever tasted! Hubbie tried the steak and black pudding pie on the second visit! To die for (his words!!)

We visited the bakery - and it was great. For a small shop they offer a huge variety of baked goodies, sweet and savoury. The cheese oatcakes are lovely. We bought 2 lunch time meal deals - freshly made filled bap, a cake and a drink - at £3 for handmade who wants to go to a supermarket! The strawberry tart was one of the best I have had.

The Steak and Black Pudding pies were so good, we returned a couple of times during our holiday. The staff were extremely friendly, and the pricing affordable. We can recommend the Haggis pies too...yummy!!

Wonderful bakery with a vast selection of home cooked sweet and savoury items. Beats all the commercial chains any day.

You can't eat cheese without Wooley's oatcakes, plenty of varieties to choose from but my advice is stick to the original - it's still the best!! The bread and cakes are also a winner.

So nice to find a proper bakery. The Chelsea buns are amazing and the best that I have had and their own Arran oatcakes nationally known and amongst the best that money can buy. (Also find them at the marvelous Barn at Cologin)

We always go here straight off the ferry if it's open for a Scotch pie. The haggis pies and chelsea buns are also delicious as are the mornings rolls and oatcakes. In fact everything really. And the view from the benches opposite is alright too for eating them all :O)

Coming from Australia, we were suprised that the meat in the Scottish pies was lamb - but they were so good with very thin, crispy pastry and we were so hungry having just walked in the rain from Brodick Castle along Fisherman's Walk! There were lots of other goodies too that I wish we could have tried, but we had to rush to catch the ferry back to Ardrossan. Hope to visit here again on our next trip!

Wooleys is the one and only stop on the island for fresh fresh bread, cakes, pastries etc. It's not cheap but you pay for quality. Red pepper soup is my favourite. Chelsea buns are best we have ever had. Been going to Wooleys since I was a wee girl. Love it! Plus a wee one in Lamlash now too.
