Reviews For Kings Coffee & Books

We stumbled on this place with hungry bellies and were so happy we did! Firstly- everything (minus pre made sweets) had a Gluten-free option, plus many labeled V/VE options which was perfect for our group. The vanilla blueberry matcha was out of this world and loved that they had alternative dairy products (for drinks and Sammies). Very inclusive, affordable, and filling! 5/5 for sure. If you’re feeling adventurous try the Kimcheese toastie. Divine.

Excellent latte and a super sourdough toast, what a find in the middle of Dumfries. Very friendly service. Tables inside and out and good wheelchair access.

Stopped by late afternoon for a drink and cake. It's nice to find somewhere that stays open until 5pm. We had a chai milkshake and a latte, both were really good. We shared a slice of lemon and elderflower cake. That was absolutely delicious, not too sweet and just the right amount of sharpness. This was the first time we've been in here. We will definitely be back.

Best most accessible coffee shop I've taken my mum as wheelchair access is a must for lunch. Toasties where awsum, Mum said to put it's the best cup of coffee she has had out in a long time. Even the plates where warm intentional or not was a nice touch. Definitely will be a regular food pit stop....

My go-to place when I'm trapped in Dumfries by the limited train service. Lovely coffee (maybe a bit pricy, but I suppose everything has gone up), nice atmosphere, lovely friendly staff. Lots of natural, live plants, which give it a pleasant, low-key jungle vibe. Vegan options available.

As a picky coffee-drinking Texan, I always look forward to my visits to Dumfries because it means trips to Kings! Best coffee in the area by a mile. Amazing staff, fantastic food, and a cozy atmosphere to boot.
