  “We visited Beastie Brews both mornings on our two-day trip to Ayr - no complaints!! We tried the iced latte with miso maple syrup, one with white choc syrup, iced latte with custard cold foam and the flat white. All the coffee was delicious, perfect balance of strong and sweet and the baristas kindly accommodated our requests for less syrup. The service is great and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit both times and will be back whenever I’m next here! (My only very minor note would be to have smaller straws for the iced coffee). Love the stickers too!”

  “Lars Wonder Dog and I love Beastie Brews. Great coffee, including frequent new single origin options and lovely cakes. Always greeted with a smile. The cafe is illuminated with natural light and is a great place to read, edit my photos or just indulge my love of great coffee (and cake 🤫).”

  “Beastie Brews is not just a coffee shop, it’s a community. It has an amazing vibe, super friendly staff and great selection of quality coffee options for every taste, as well as fresh pastries and cakes. Rory is clearly passionate about coffee and you feel that from the moment you walk into the shop. The wide variety of options, including an incredible pour over, and homemade syrups, sets this place apart from other coffee shops. It can be busy at times but there’s good reason for that. There’s always a nice friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a good mixture of regulars and new faces, so hanging about while you wait for your coffee is a joy in itself! The location is also just perfect, right at the beach with plenty of parking. It has nice outdoor seating as well as different seating styles inside and is very dog friendly! Best coffee shop in Ayrshire!”

  “Best coffee I've found in Ayr, and one of the best I've had in Scotland. Paired with chill and friendly staff and always an interesting sweet treat, my go to place in this area.”

  “The best Scottish coffee shop South of Glasgow. A lot of third wave coffee shops struggle to focus on whether they invest in an extensive coffee menu or one that your normal coffee enjoyer can navigate and BB have managed to streamline their menu while still satisfying the pourover snobs. Their staff are courteous, kind, and knowledgeable around both drink and food offerings along with being able to cater to decaf and gluten dodging (coeliac) wives. If you're a coffee snob, ask for the secret menu. You'll feel special and they have some experimental co-ferments usually hiding in the back.”

  “Met a friend here for the first time today as I’d heard good things - I was not disappointed! It’s bigger than it looks from the outside, and even has a ramp which was ideal for us as we had prams. Inside is spacious and cosy, and the staff actually look and sound like they’re happy there which created a lovely atmosphere. The cakes looked amazing and I certainly enjoyed my croissant with my latte. Great coffee exactly what I needed after long nights with a baby, as well as attentive, friendly faces. Will definitely be back :)”

  “Amazing amazing coffee, cake and staff! It is clear the owner is very passionate and knowledgeable about coffee and is willing to help find a blend that suits you! As a regular every visit feels special, like catching up with friends! Being a new mum it can sometimes be a task to leave the house but with excellent baby changing facilities and plenty of highchairs it's clear they've thought of everything for families! As a dog owner, I really appreciate that it's dog-friendly too. It's rare to find a spot that caters so well to everyone. Highly recommend!”

  “we mainly always walk Troon/Prestwick with having some smaller independent coffee option,but I think we will be regulars to Ayr beach after visiting this fabulous spot. It is exactly what the town has been missing and needs. it’s officially my new coffee obsession. I love the scandi chic feel of the cafe, it is light, open and inviting. Staff are fabulous, and I will WAIT for coffee, great coffee should not be quick, the barista should take the care and time to pour and that's exactly what you get here, an amazing cup of coffee. Not fast paced any old cup of coffee, seriously great coffee!!! ​ ​🎨 the mural: robert burns reimagined as a coffee-loving mouse? yes please. ​🥪 the Focaccia: that sandwich was a total hit. crusty, fresh, and huge. Ally got the last one, not jealous at all ​☕️ the roast: a proper speciality cup that hits different in the mid-morning light”

  “Amazing coffee and cakes at this recently opened cafe in possibly the best location at Ayr beach front. The owner Rory and his wife clearly love their job and always have time for a good chat. They’ve done a fabulous job creating a light airy minimalist Scandinavian style interior… if you look around you’ll find the odd (timorous) Beastie🐭”
