AN Ayr coffee shop has been named among the best in the UK just six months after opening.

Puck Espresso, based in Queens Court, earned a place among the UK's best coffee shops.

They were included on The Best Coffee Shops in the UK list for 2026.

A spokesperson said: "We don't have the words to say how grateful we are to be included in the UK's best coffee shops!

"To only be open 6 months and be included in a list of our peers, that not only has some of the most commended shops in the UK, but shops that we've looked up to and respected for a long time."

Their roasters include Thomsons Coffee, Cairngorm Coffee, Machina Coffee, Oddy Knocky Coffee and Dark Arts Coffee.

They added: "To our amazing customers, everyone that has came through our doors, shared their stories with us, brought in dogs, brought in their families, and in turn, became a part of ours.

"Puck Espresso is for everyone.

"Our door is always open, judgement free, and we're so happy that you've all had a part to play in our journey so far."
