About Cavani'S West End Cafe
A long standing Saltcoats business established in 1902. This traditional Cafe is the ideal place to go for good food, great coffee and a friendly chat. All our Ice cream is made on the premises
Cavani'S West End Cafe Description
Cavani's West End Cafe was founded in 1902 by Giovanni Cavani, the present owners grandfather. He first left the village of Capraia in Tuscany in 1894 and travelled to Scotland to find work, his first shop was in Princes Place Ardrossan and when his brother Carlo joined him they moved their business to Saltcoats opening ice cream and confectionery shops in Dockhead Street on the corner with Green Street (now The Kandy Bar) and also in Chapelwell Street. When Carlo died during the first World War his wife and small children returned to Italy and at that time Giovanni moved to the present site of The West End Cafe at Hamilton Street in 1919. The Cafe has been run by various members of the Cavani family since that time, most notably Mary, Carlo, Johnny, Joe (Pino) and Setti. It is now run by Stephen and his wife Christina. The shop front has had several changes since 1919 and photos of these are posted on this facebook page. It is the second oldest family run business in Saltcoats, T Baillie and Son Butchers being the oldest.

Hasn't changed since I was a boy and now taking our kids. Very relaxed atmosphere and great and friendly service. Best scrambled egg roll in the Shire.
Always worth a vist 👍

Fantastic friendly atmosphere, always busy and a great old fashioned,free juke box.
Lovely food which is reasonably priced, oh and they do a rare wee pokey hat.
Good luck to the West End Cafe
Excellent food, excellent staff. Cheeseburgers are the best i Have ever tried.
Excellent food, always get a warm friendly welcome and prices are excellent. I have to mention Cavani's home made ice cream which is delicious. 5 Stars from me!
Excellent food at a reasonable price served in a family friendly atmosphere. Ice cream is delicious. Worth a visit x
Don't just "like" but "love" Cavani's Cafe - it's a home from home :)
Could go a wee west end breakfast right now!! And my boy misses the strawberry milkshakes and talks about them often! Great place and always made to feel welcome with the great team in there
Best cafe in the town and staff are always very pleasant. Home made soup is a must and all food is freshly made to order. Prices are very reasonable and certainly know how to make proper coffee and lattes.
Best cafe in saltcoats cheese burgers with onions and brown sauce to die for.
Awesome breakfasts, with plenty of butter on your bread and rolls! Try their Trademark WESTENDER! Pay at the table to avoid that 'where do I pay' moment. Staff are always a pleasure. Great selection of newspapers, magazines, confectionery and Ice Cream. They even accept gless cheques!
A cornerstone of Saltcoats for over 100 years and one of my favourite memories as a child coming here every week for the famous ice cream.
