Lovely staff and lovely food. No better place in Dumfries to get a breakfast. I absolutely love it. Always get a lovely conversation whilst waiting on my yummy breakfast box :)

Had Bacon,egg and black pudding roll can't fault it will defo be back

Best food in the toon, only criticism I have is no seating, but in these covidy times it's a non issue, especially when just across the road you can sit and eat your food with a nice river view. Watch out for the gulls though ;)

Hot and cold food to take away - very good prices and there's a couple of chairs outside if you want to sit and eat your roll and have a coffee/tea and have a smoke .

I was welcomed with the broadest smile, that’s the first excellent service! Location: easy to locate; just along the main road opposite the river. Services: It’s a takeaway (dine out) service. Super quick and meal served pretty fresh and hot. The opening hour starts as early as 05:30 so you could order your wee breakfast. Payment: you can pay either by cash or card. Expansive parking spaces available while you wait for your order to be ready. Overall: Excellent service

After visiting a local cafe and being let down on both food and service today we instead opted for the waterfront takeaway. Can not recommend this place more. I had a cheese burger with onions and salad my partner had a bacon and egg roll with tattie scone. We shared cheesy chips and a bottle of Fanta. The whole thing cost just over 12 less than I would have paid in the cafe for burger and chips. Everything was freshly cooked and hot. The chips were the best we've had in a long time. Over all I very enjoyable reasonably priced meal. Will definitely be back.

By far and away the best breakfast take away, anywhere. Period. The staff are lovely and the food is more delicious than your favourite adult actors moulded chocolates! Don't expect to sit down as it's take away only and has been for years. But you're on the river With so you have plenty of seating areas to watch the local Gull population make moves on your bacon.

Crispy chicken.sriracha sauce and chips were off the scale tasty... !! ...
