We visit this lovely wee place regularly and are always impressed with the friendly service and beautiful ice cream. The staff go out of their way to make it an "experience" for their customers with touches like mini hot water bottles and cosy throws to ensure you can enjoy the autumn weather in the outdoor seating area. A special place we are excited to take our friends to.
The best place in Nairn. Everything is delicious and always a warm welcome. There is something for everyone. They cater for non dairy, gluten free etc. Everything is done with care and style. So glad you exist ��
Amazing wee place... best thing in nairn and best ice cream you will taste.
Great wee place to visit, coffee and bakes are fab, as for the ice-cream, it's a must! We're so lucky to have such a lovely place next to our beautiful beach.
Best ice cream and sorbet selectionever! My kids love going here - I highly recommend the mango sorbet and the Turkish delight flavour ice cream!
James's cafe is a fantastic jewel of a place, coffee excellent, views superb, ice cream and cakes irresistible. We love the warm blankets on a chilly day, and can add a hot water bottle if you really need a warm up. Come and enjoy for yourself �. Magic
Stopped here during a club cycle, great coffee and Ice Cream and really friendly service. Well worth a visit. �

A brilliant place. The hot chocolate is great and the ice cream amazing. My favourite flavour so far is the hazelnut, had it at another place afterwards and it was no way near as good as James'
What?! This little place rocks! Bella Nutella Waffle was superb and I loved being able to sit outside and look out to sea! Friendly staff and even hot water bottles and blankets for the colder weather. Genius idea! We will be back! Thanks
Best place for coffee, my favourite ice cream... Hazelnut, amaaazing waffles and just always a lovely place to sit and hang out ��
Amazing service and friendly staff :) my kids say they make the best hot chocolate in the world :)
Always a great cup whatever my fancy is that day, cakes are delicious too!
Today I had the Hazelnut ice cream on offer- to die for- and the chocolate both 👌🏻👌🏻
Such a friendly wee place would Deffo recommend xx
Fantastic wee place. Beautiful Coffee & amazing ice cream. Only place in Nairn to serve dairy free ice creams so my son is delighted he can get a cone and is working his way through all the different flavours of sorbet! Always brilliant service too. Well done guys.
The best ice cream ever, fabulous coffee and cakes, and even rugs & hot water bottles if it is a chilly day! Paradise...
The ice cream is amazing here! All locally made and with really unique flavours like bueno and strawberry with balsamic. If you're passing grab a large cone, you won't be dissapointed. ❤️
Went with the wife and kids today for some hot chocolate. The wife and kids loved it, I have to be honest it’s one of the poorest hot chocolates in Nairn. Now, I gave 5 starts because this was my taste and not the general. The staff were friendly, the service was quick and the seating with blankets on a cool day is amazing.
Great coffee after beach walk. Outdoor seating under cover, blankets supplied! Food looked good - we just shared a flapjack.
Jame's has the best ice cream hands down! Great selection of flavours which they have on rotation so you never know what you will find! Maltesers, apple crumble, strawberry & balsamic (trust me it works), cranachan... Plus they have I've cream bubble waffles which I am yet to try... They are huge 😆. Only real (unavoidable) downside is the queue can sometimes be very long.
Best cafe in the world. Great ice cream and delicious waffles. Closed for the winter.
Best place in Nairn for ice cream. Be prepared to be patient in the queue, you will not be disappointed. The best bit is James’s at the end of my road. How lucky are we !
Really good place to go…
This cafe is right by the beach and playground. James is delightful and the coffee, hot chocolate and ice cream was just what we needed. This place is special!
Friendliest spot we came across on our walk along this beach. The staff were young but quick and polite.
I had the toffee crisp ice cream and the salted caramel cheesecake. The toffee crisp was great but the salted caramel sort of just tasted like sour cream. Wouldn't try that one again but could just be me.
Decent prices for the portions. They aren't skimping on the scoops here!
Fab choice of 6 vegan cakes and 4 vegan ice creams.
Huge queue but worth the wait.
The cake below is their lemon cupcake, moisture and delicious.
Simply the best ice cream I’ve every tasted - amazing flavours and great service - prefect end to a fab days walk on the beach 🤩
During one of Nairns busiest events of the summer the queue wasn't long, great selection of ice creams, but I definitely think portion sizes are smaller than they used to be. Enjoyed my waffle cone and hubs had a bubble waffle cone.
Always busy but queue goes down fairly quickly. Cakes are excellent (even though they are bought in). Coffee is good but it’s a shame the mocha/ hot chocolate isn’t very chocolatey.
Superb ice creams, with some unusual flavours. Busy when the weather is good!
Had ice cream, flapjack and tea. All were excellent especially the lemon curd ice cream. Great location.
Amazing , that's it !
Freindly staff ✅
Mouth watering selection of cakes✅
Drinks for every taste ✅
Well done to you & the team , the reviews don't lie ! Even thoughts into the seats show the details of care with nice warm blankets on the chairs
I keep coming back to James's for two reasons: first it's a great location, especially on a sunny day when you can sit there with a view across the putting green to the Moray Firth. Second the food and drink is superb: good coffee (and that's hard to find), super carrot cake, and the best home made ice cream on the planet. Oh, and the staff are all very nice people too.
Ice cream to die for. Be brave and one of his tasting cups, the pink grapefruit/pepper corn and the strawberry with balsamic are amazing.
Delicious food, ice is 👌👌. Great wee place and always busy 😁😁
Good quality coffee, and the ice cream was amazing. Kiwi and jalapeños 😍
