The Kia-Ora diluted orange juice machine was sold out by the time we arrived



I had 'Todays Special' homemade ice cream and caramelised apple washed down with a proper coffee with a real milky skin on the top

Don't think that orange juice machine has seen orange since the 90's lol...
Though they do make excellent ice cream...
The cyber van has been known to be sitting in the vicinity whilst the big yin indulges...
I used to be the wee yin lol ... over indulgence (i'll decide)

Always thought their coffee had a strange almost TCP quality about it so stopped drinking it.
Used to spend many a day not far from there when i was with the girlfriend in the car.... yup the ford at waterfoot got many a hammering but do i mean the car or the river crossing ?

Is Boni's only open certain days/times? I've passed by a few times in the past few weeks and it's always been closed?

Have noticed it seems to be closed whenever i pass now too ...
Hope its just a temporary measure ....
Maybe trying to find some formica to sort out the chipped tables or looking for some genuine 70's stock on ebay...

Shame because the ice cream was excellent.

only place that comes close is the cafe in Kilmacolm at the cross roads.
But that would be a whole other thread.

It's been like that for years. They only open certain days/hours. No idea what they are though. I wouldn't imagine the place will be there for a whole lot longer as the couple that own it are quite elderly now
