The Ark - Dumfries Galloway

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

Lovely owner and such a warm welcome. Gorgeous scones and amazing coffee. Can’t recommend enough. Kippford is gorgeous and this cafe is such a asset

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.

Cosy café. Freshly baked, home-made cakes absolutely delicious, moist sponge Friendly staff, see views what’s not to love.
