She insisted that the drinks were right and even showed me a coffee chart to justify her stance. Despite her training, I couldn't see any foam on the drinks unless it was incredibly subtle. After some reluctance, she began to prepare new ones, but her attitude and rudeness became too much for me, and I ultimately requested a refund instead. I remained polite throughout the exchange, but as I was leaving, she sarcastically told me to enjoy, clearly not in a friendly manner, but rather to escalate the situation. As a local, I won’t be returning to Java, which is disappointing because the location is great. If you're looking for good coffee and decent service, I recommend Coast Coffee at the other end of the promenade or The Salty Bean in Sandbank, across from the Western ferries. You might even find better coffee and service from the Costa coffee machine at the petrol station.

Last week, my wife had a day off from her job at Walkers, so we decided to treat ourselves to some coffee by the waterfront. We brought our dog along and ordered a latte for my wife and a tea for myself. It was a bit pricey, but we enjoyed it! After strolling around Kirn with our dog and drinks for a little while, we headed back home. I'm not really a coffee person, but they had a nice variety of coffees to choose from. Next time we have a day off together, we might bring the kids too since I noticed they also sell ice cream.

I waited outside for 25 minutes, only to be told at the front of the line that they were no longer taking orders and I would not be served. The service was quite slow, with only one customer being attended to at a time. It would have been beneficial if the staff had acknowledged the growing queue outside and informed us that we would not be served by the time we reached the front. After waiting from 3:25 to 3:50, we were ultimately turned away as it was close to closing time.

Bacon slightly crispy for my taste but not a big complaint. They also do old school traybake cakes and giant empire biscuits. Coffee was nice too, better (and hotter) than a fancy one I had the day before which was double the price. Shame they don't have tables. Will still be back next time I'm in Dunoon. Service: Takeaway
