Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well worth the wrong turns and walk from the ferry terminal. We wanted good coffee and that’s what we got. Coffee excellent. The scone was apparently one of the best ever and my vegan-friendly soup was piping hot and delicious. A quiet calm setting with friendly staff.

We highly recommend Jamie’s. Staff are lovely and friendly and we’re pretty matching blouses! Their scones are fantastic. Great size and served warm which is how a scone should be served. Jam and butter with or without clotted cream They have a really good selection of home made cakes which are delicious My husband really likes their cappuccinos. The tea is served in a pot with lovely fine porcelain cup & saucer Lots of well spaced seating in the foyer area and tables inside as well Definitely worth a visit. Check opening times because they are not open Sundays or late in the day

The cakes and the service are the main reason we go to Janie's every time we leave the ferry. The quality of the food is amazing!!!! The staff are friendly and so lovely every time, and this place makes possibly the best coleslaw in the universe! Great variety of food choices too and they are able to work with allergies etc., Cannot wait to go back soon. Thank you for exceptional customer service some big named companies on the mainland could learn a thing or two.

Janies is located in Brodick and is a lovely spot to stop at for a coffee and some home baking. We have visited several times and the soup as well as the cakes and tray bakes are absolutely delicious and super fresh! However, having said this, there have been numerous occasions when we have arrived and it has been closed (even in the summer). We have family on the island and visit frequently, always recommending places to friends, although on our last visit, the cafe closed early - despite us contacting them to check their opening hours and if we could pop by. Perhaps during the low season is it not worth being open the full day for a few cakes and coffees however it was disappointing especially since we had contacted them prior to arriving. Would love to visit again and hope to get lucky at a time they are open

We randomly stopped here on a wet and cold day, and as a coeliac as I was only expecting to be able to have a wee cup of tea at best. To my surprise, all soups were gluten free, with gluten free bread, sandwiches and a selection of GF cakes! Pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious. A gorgeous wee cafe too with cute decor. Friendly staff. Thank you!

Regularly use and recommend Jaynie’s in Brodick. The jolly service and delicious freshly made food , cakes and baking never fail to disappoint. Yesterday we had Chicken Rice soup which hit the spot perfectly and felt comforting after a stressful week. The Peanut Butter Slice was equally healing despite the calories! Love this place. Yum, yum

I have long thought that cafes - not fancy restaurants or gastropubs - mere, humble cafes, were the places where the best food in Britain was served, and where that distinct and peculiar British mix of quirk, quality and value could be found. After visiting Janie's, I am convinced this is true. I had a toasted bagel, with roasted vegetables, garlic Arran cheese and beetroot chutney. This was one of the best things I had ever eaten. It came with a side salad, which was delicious. Very nice dressing, red onions and other veggies, fresh and crispy lettuce. The side salad is too often neglected in this country, sometimes inedible. Here it was just perfect. The kids had a hot dog which was quite decent. Then they had chocolate cake for dessert which was very good. Still a little dazed from my toasted bagel experience, I had a second main, a toasted sandwich, which was just as nice. Prizes were very reasonable. I am now considering moving to the Isle of Arran so I can go to Janie's for lunch every day.

Stopped for a midweek lunch. Greeted by lovely friendly staff. Plenty of choice for a good lunch with a super array of cakes. The food (we had soup and sandwiches) was delicious and arrived promptly despite us being told there might be a delay due to it being busy. Reasonably priced and a great playlist in the background. Warrants a return visit.

Been on a cycling day out in Arran. Stopped for a coffee a cake at Janie’s. The place is vibrant, welcoming super clean. Staff are nice and smiling. The coffee was amazing. One of those rare places that when you order “large” coffee it actually IS large. And the fruit scone was still warm with beautiful jam and butter. All locally made. Wonderful place.

Fantastic food, wonderful staff and just an overall wonderful experience. The home made soup is beyond delicious and the selection of soup always has a choice for most. Panini's, toasties and sandwiches are all tasty and filling. A must for your visit to Arran

We stopped for lunch. The sandwiches were freshly made with generous fillings and served with a side of salad. The service was friendly and our food was promptly served. There was a good choice of cakes catering for various food tastes and ours were delicious. We also took scones home as takeaway. Overall we were very satisfied with our visit and felt COVID-safe.

A prime spot on the road out of town offered a lot of potential but was a bit underwhelming. The staff were nice and friendly, oat milk was on offer (sadly unusual), and the coffee was ok. The Almond cake was a tad dry, and there was a general sense that the place needed a good clean (surprising given the current focus on cleanliness given COVID). The fake flowers on the window ledge had enough cobwebs to fill the ‘fly cemetery’ cake on offer. Having said that there were enough dead flies on the window ledge as it was. It wouldn’t take much to raise the overall experience a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review . We always stock a dairy free alternative (not unusual) . The Almond slice you refer to is a gluten free option ?? The courtyard Which you refer to is a communal space and the door of late has been open all day everyday . Im sorry that i have been putting attention on my actual cafe premises following all goverment guidelines Sterilising all table and chairs for every customer, however i shall address the courtyard entrance .

Visited for lunch straight off the ferry and a little queezy. Weather was bleak but that didn't deter from the lovely food at Janie's. Selection of soups served with a morning roll were all appealing but decided on the lightly spiced parsnip which was delightful. Followed up by some scones with Jam and clotted cream. The scones were warm and tasted great. Well done team!

We finally had lunch here on this trip to Arran (every other year it has always been too busy). We are very lucky to have got a table. The food was brilliant. The cullenskink soup went down a treat and the roasted vegetable toastie which I had was absolutely beautiful. We never sampled any cakes but they all looked delicious. Will just need to come back next year to have one 🥰 The staff were all very friendly, and Covid aware (tables wiped down after every visit, track and trace details taken etc). Would definitely recommend visiting!
