Great coffee, great staff and great service with a wide selection of tasty tibitts for the whole family! If your coeliac or following a gluten free diet, there are options available that have been bought in rather than prepared/baked on the spot which is ok for me because they meet my expectations of what it's purpose is. Oh, ideally situated within Carnfunnock

The cafe is a great place to relax and enjoy the view and a chat with a coffee or tea and a freshly baked scone, snack or something else to eat from the breakfast and lunch menu. It's open every day all year round. They are also taking bookings for Christmas lunches. Enjoy in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
