Our Peace & Plenty Cafe reviews speak for themselves!
You might not know that we are a garden centre with a cafe. Well now you do! So no need to Google best garden centre cafe near me or garden centre with cafe near me any longer if you live in Ayrshire or even beyond, because customers old and new, from far and wide just can't get enough of the DeWaldens Garden Centre Peace & Plenty Cafe and neither will you!
Tasty food, in-house bakery treats to die for, and amazing coffee are just three reasons why our customers often take the time to leave such positive reviews!
Liz Kirkpatrick called it the "best breakfast in town" and it's not just Liz that took the trouble to document her experience with us.

It's built on the site of the Peace & Plenty, a nineteenth-century colliers' row built to house the workers of Capringtons Pits that was renowned for its neat flower pots and immaculate gardens.
The Peace & Plenty became Kilmarnock's last colliers row and was finally demolished in 1955. All that remains of that era is the low wall you can see from the Coffee Shop window that runs the length of the Garden Centre.
The name dates back to an ancient inn with the custom of giving travellers a generous supply of oat cake and cheese to accompany his or her dram!
