GRO Coffee

Staff were nice, but lacked communication and were quite slow. We ordered cakes after our mains and after 20 mins we went up and said, the cakes were out on the plates but no one actually brought them to us! Food is pricy for what it is, definitely overrated. Had a great wee atmosphere and was quite comfy and chill. They were also very accommodating for dogs which was a great plus for us! I ordered the Steak Philly, it was not nice. One poached egg was hard and the other was still rawish (the white was uncooked), the avocado and Philly was like an inch thick and for me ruined it. Latte was really nice, mines was a bit cold but my wife’s was hot. It was a total mixed bag of an experience, hence the 3 stars. Would I go back…for coffee yes.

Lucky to get a table as it is very busy. Try to get a table away from the door as its non stop! The food was a bit late but plenty of it and quite nice so overall a good place to try out.

Wouldn’t recommend. Slow service and unhelpful staff(the people at the 3 tables next to us were also unimpressed) Food is very overhyped and overpriced for what it is. Waited about an hour and a half for our food in total.

First time trying GRO in Irvine. As always it’s got such a cosy vibe. I ordered the bloomer with avocado and poached eggs then added a side of halloumi which cost me an extra £4. So I found that overly expensive. The food was lovely and fresh. They didn’t add any seasoning to the smashed avocado though so I found the dish pretty plain tbh. No pepper, no chilli flakes or lime etc so I was a little disappointed with the flavour. I also ordered the Bueno brownie. The middle was very cakey, whereas the rest was more gooey and brownie like. The bueno on the top was stale even though we went super early In the morning. I thought it was good but not amazing. Service was hit and miss too. Trying to get the attention of the waitresses was a nightmare. This place is also dog friendly which is a massive win! They have a doggie menu which is cute.

Best food and coffee in scotland so far. Had a delicious brunch. The cakes were tempting too. Nice setting with a great outdoor area as well.

Dog friendly. Plenty of parking nearby.

Love it here. Always a nice vibe. Staff helpful and polite. Food delish. Would recommend
