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.

Stumbled over this establishment after a trip around the island. No picture - the pink scone was soooo yummy! It all ended up in my tummy 😄

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, yumMore

The food itself was amazing! We absolutely loved it! But… there was one person behind the counter that ruined our whole experience. She was very snappy and seemed very angry. She was young (looked about 19) and has clearly not been in customer service long...and shouldn’t be working in hospitality.More

The best breakfast rolls on the island. My husband is a very fussy eater, but could not find fault with his bacon and black pudding roll. It was the best ever.

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 dayMore

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.More

The scones are fantastic with a wide range of ‘flavours’. They come with butter and jam and the option to have clotted cream. Really good cake. Victoria sponge was excellent. A really wide variety. Only downside is that they are not open on Sunday or...Monday!More

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 openMore

Two trips in two days, came back hoping the Cullen Skink was still on and was not disappointed. Cakes are delish and there’s quite an array to choose from.

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!More

I come to Arran a couple of times a year and always visit Janie’s. The food is great and the ladies are always really welcoming and seem to love working there! The food is soups and sandwiches, simple but so so tasty (Tuna Melt is...my favourite). What sets the cafe apart though is it’s vast selection of cakes and scones which are amazing (often very hard to choose there’s so many!) - everything feels like it’s made with love here! Perfect for food after a long walk!More
