AN ARDROSSAN café have paid homage to the local community as they celebrate reaching three years in operation.

Moka on Princes Street marked the special anniversary on Wednesday, May 29.

The vegetarian and plant-based café has proved a real hit since moving in, even expanding earlier this year by opening a second premises in Largs.

They are hoping to continue to go from strength to strength and have recently applied for the sale of alcohol to be permitted at both of their venues.

As they celebrated the landmark occasion this week, the Moka team thanked the local community for receiving the business so well since they began operations.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald: Moka in Ardrossan are celebrating three years of operating in the town.

A spokesperson said: "Three years ago today, we opened the doors to Moka, our little haven for vegans and vegetarians.

"What a journey it’s been! Your love and support have made every day a joy, and we’re beyond grateful to serve our delicious vegan and vegetarian cuisine to such a wonderful community.

"Here’s to many more years of great food, good vibes, great coffee and heart-warming memories!"

The dog-friendly café has looked to take a big step towards its goal of continuing to provide the best possible food with the release of a new menu this week.

As well as a wide array of breakfast choices, the new menu includes a vast choice of lunch options for locals to indulge in.

Of course, every option is either vegan or vegetarian, while a number of dishes can be adapted to suit a range of dietary requirements.

The full menu is available to view online via Moka's website at mokaardrossan.co.uk.
