Amazing food, coffee and atmosphere. Well worth the drive or detour to ferry. The owner Gill definitely shows passion in this cafe, a lovely chat. Worth a visit! Thank you Gill xx

What a place. Met up with a friend who lives in Stranraer whilst I was on holiday and made sure to visit again with my partner. Firstly and most importantly for us, it's dog friendly, and properly so. You can eat in and they brought a sausage and water out for them. The food we had was lovely but honestly the staff made it. They are so friendly and helpful. My partner loves his cake and they have a great variety here. We will make sure to pop in again whenever we are up.
