Out for a walk in Kippford on a chilly Christmas Eve afternoon we were delighted to discover that the café was open. The staff apologised for the fact that there was no hot food available, which made our choices easier; tea/coffee and traybakes. View all feedback.
What Scottish Hidden Gems doesn't like about The Ark:
We have always wanted to try this little cafe, there is not much choice of eating places in the winter season so it was really our only option. The toasties and paninis are £7.95/£8.95 and are meant to come with crisps and salad but this was missing from our order so two slice of bread and melted cheese for £8? Totally ludicrous! The food was lovely but definitely not worth the prices being charged, don't think we wo... View all feedback.
Was very busy and understaffed, but unforgiveable was advertising cappuccino and latte, and charging a premium when they don't have a machine. They just have a coffee percolator, then add some frothed milk. Completely unacceptable, and a latte seemed to be beyond their understanding. It had less milk in than a cappuccino and was undrinkable. Recently re-opened, they need to buck up their ideas, and the husband of the owner needs to muck in instead of just chatting to customers
A little gem. Bargain cheap and tasty eats. Dropped in by chance because neighbouring pub looked forlorn and drear. Can’t recommend enough
Has just changed hands and decided to give it a go. We had a great wee walk at Kippford and then called in for an early morning treat. Their Bacon Roll , was delicious and was served with salsa pasta and a side salad ! Everything was lovely but the Salsa Pasta was just amazing and sooooo delicious. Also on display were the most inviting selection of Cakes and Scones , made I believe by a local celebrity chef who started in My Kitchen Rools on TV. The prices were very reasonable and the service was fantastic. A very polite young man took our order , but all the staff on the premises spoke to us and we 're very friendly. Can 't wait until my next visit. Would recommend to everyone.
