I have lunch in small talk frequently and I’m used to it being busy . Today was no exception . However the attitude of the waitering staff has definitely gone down hill . Firstly when asked to stand out side we stood on the apparently) wrong side and my partner and I were ordered like cattle to stand on the other side . We dutifully stood for 10 mins waiting for a table . Soon the window table became available and my partner asked if we could sit here . At this point a part of 3 or 4 had arrived and my partner was rudely told ‘no you can wait for a table that sits 2 to become available’ The larger party were then taken before us and we were left to stand outside .

I believe Small Talk is a hidden gem of a café. The cakes are absolutely delicious and the meals are also very tasty. The specials are always unique and provide a good opportunity to try something new. The service is consistently excellent. I would highly recommend this café when visiting Irvine harbour. We ordered a cake for my grandmother's birthday and it was amazing - the entire family loved it!
Went here for lunch today with a friend and what a lovely place. Much bigger on the inside than appears from outside, beautifully decorated with lots of nice gifts for sale as well. Good menu selection and food was delicious. Cake selection is amazing and of course had to take some away for later ! Was lovely and cosy inside, very busy and staff were very friendly would definitely return.
Welcoming atmosphere, very friendly staff and a wonderful array of home baking. My sister and I opted for freshly baked scones with our coffee. Delicious. Also some lovely gifts available for purchase adorning the walls. I can highly recommend the fresh eggs for sale at a very competitive price. It was my second visit to this tearoom and will not be my last.
