I saw the reviews via TripAdvisor 👓+ Google Reviews and decided to get lunch @skippingstonecafe. The eatery is popular for our locals and is situated around the Bay Road shopping center, Kilbirnie.
Berry Friand $4.20 🍰 and Chai Latte ☕️$5
The Berry Friand was decent, It was soft and easy to cut into. I would have like to had more berry pieces in the friand or even a liquid/runny berry coulis. This way, I can take the sweetness from the berry + cake and not just the cake.
Chai Latte was nicely presented with a neat decoration to top it off. Good balance of spices from the cardamon and the sweetness from the milk🥛+ sugar. Did the job and was happy with the beverage.
Vegetable Frittata $8.90
I was happy to get a nice, big slice of frittata. It had a good mix of pumpkin 🎃, carrots 🥕, potato 🥔, and a bit of spinach that were well cooked. The frittata, however, did not have much seasoning, but I sorted that out with some salt🧂+ pepper and sweet chilli sauce. Also, the texture was a bit dry to cut into, maybe make the eggs slightly more runny and creamy with some more milk/cream.
Mushroom 🍄and Halloumi Burger 🍔with Fries🍟$16.90
The dish has a neat, classic presentation with the fries and the burger looked appealing to dig into. The bun was toasted enough to give the burger a good crunch. Had the right thickness and balance between the halloumi cheese and mushroom + veggies. Maybe just a touch more mayo, but overall, I enjoyed the dish and was worth the money.
Final Words
I had a peaceful experience at @skippingstonecafe . The eatery is busy and compact but had a casual vibe welcomed by locals of all age groups. I will definitely be keen to visit again and try out their Asian/chicken salads + another slice of cake and a hot beverage to go. Peace out✌🏽👍🏽
Great place to have lunch on a summer day. Decor is fresh, staff are welcoming, plus yummy food and coffee! Recommend the iced mocha or smoothies
The chicken salad here tastes good but the yolk is watery😥 and I will try hamburger or yogurt smoothie next time. The space here is a little crowded.
