Great find. Only small space with efficient seating. Local art on the wall, Friendly staff. Located just off the water, close to the ferry. Great selection of fresh cakes and brunch options. Best cappuccino I have had in 2025. The apple cake was great. Will return again

We had a Çilbir and buttermilk chicken.I am more of a Shakshuka than Çilbir when it comes to poached eggs but I decided to give it a try. Definitely a good choice: Perfectly cooked and presented, they were delicious, as was the coffee. I sampled the chicken, it too was extremely good.It's a bit far from Edinburgh where I live, but anyone passing in the area will enjoy the friendly place and quality of food. They wouldn't be out of place in any more fashionable city or location. A great little find.I'll try the Shakshuka next time I am in the area.

A great new find in the heart of Gourock. We arrived at lunchtime. It was packed. I enjoyed the sweet peaches dish with rosemary and ricotta. The smoked salmon and eggs was fantastic too. The customer service was great too- very attentive waitstaff. We will return to this restaurant!

What can i say about this cafe / restaurant?!I saw a facebook post of a big breakfast plate 9.95 it looked amazing, thought let's try it once if its no good nothing much lost.Guys, Girls and all my friends you need to get this place saved in Google maps best càfe food ever!!! SeriouslyGreat clean presentation all freshly cooked no grease, eggs as you like all with a smile, sweet espresso, water with your meal again with a smile.Owner out front happy and proud but humble enough to bring her wee chef out to receive the well earned gratitude of this hungry chef on his day off.Menu is simple and short but plenty variety and all fairly priced, what you receive is worth more.If you want a greasy spoon look elsewhere this place is a gem and real diamond that did that unicorn of things by meeting and exceeding my expectations.

The full cooked breakfast is superb and their own signature coffee is the perfect accompaniment.

Went here for lunch today and it was well tasty! I had the Brunch Stack and my partner had the vegetarian Avocado, Poached Eggs on Toast.Arrived at 12:50 and had to wait for a table but when we left there were a few tables spare, so midday must have been their peak.Would definitely recommend.
