Definitely worth a stop

Had an oat latte and vegan pancakes with sausage and blueberries, so good. The coffee was the best I had in Scotland and the pancakes were amazing. Left with a cinnamon roll which I thoroughly enjoyed later.

Best breakfast ever!

The most impressive vegan breakfast I’ve had! So many vegan options, all of which wowed us. You need to try their pancakes - incredibly light, fluffy and delicious! All staff were warm and welcoming, would give this 5 stars if I could

Lecker zwischendurch essen

Wir waren spontan im Lokal essen. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und servierten die Gerichte schnell. Wir aßen die belegten Brote (Avocado, Kimchi) und als Dessert den Cinnamon Bun. Alle Gerichte waren sehr lecker. Der warme Cinnamon Bun war unser Highlight. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros: Atmosphäre , Service , Cinnamon Bun

Amazing burrito breakfast bowl

I love everything here- best vegan breakfast I’ve had in Great Britain as we’ve been traveling. Great breakfast bowl- coconut latte. Great music, cute art. Run, don’t walk, to breakfast here.

Best babka

They sell the best babka I've had in the UK, hands down no competition - I went back to get another after my first even! Their coffee is also very well made, and they can make basically everything on the menu vegan.

Access: small step from street level. Seating inside. Accessible bathroom.

Pros: Barista very knowledgeable , That babka. What a beauty

Delightful desserts

I went for a brunch and ordered their vegan maple and bacon pancakes; a coffee and a cinnamon bun. The pancakes were tasty and came with the option of home made seitan bacon or This Isn't Bacon. The cinnamon bun was very high quality and it tasted as rich as it looked. The staff were friendly and welcoming, offering us tourists advice and even a free baked good.

Shame it isn't fully vegan anymore otherwise it had the potential to be a 5/5.

Pros: Welcoming staff, Good variety of sweet and savoury goods

Cons: Not fully vegan establishment anymore

Sooo good

This place is aammaazing for brunch!! Really friendly staff, not too expensive either and such amazing vegan and veggie options 🌱. I went for the scramble and bacon on toast, which was vegan bacon and normal eggs, but there was the option for a tofu scramble! Really really tasty food and fresh, a great hidden brunch spot!

Pros: Tasty, Lots of options and alternatives , Fresh

Cons: None!

Lovely little café

Popped in for brunch recently. It's a lovely little café which is wholly vegan other than offering cows' milk in hot drinks. There's a great vegan menu with so many tasty treats on offer that it was hard to choose. After much debate I had the vegan haggis, avocado, kimchi & sriracha sandwich which may sound like an odd combo but trust me it really works! They also make a great oatmilk flat white. If you're in Stirling looking for some vegan options, this is very much the place to be!

UPDATE MAY 2023: no longer fully vegan which is a shame but they still offer all the same great options as they used to - they've just added scrambled eggs/bacon as alternatives to scrambled tofu/this isn't bacon.

Pros: Great vegan menu, Cakes also look amazing, Friendly staff

Lovely little cafe. The menu is vegetarian however the lunch/brunch menu is all vegan. Staff were friendly and the food was tasty! I ordered the pancakes and had a pot of tea. Will definitely be returning to sample the other wonderful things on the menu.

Fantastic

Fantastic cafe that does breakfast/brunch and has lots of baked goodies and doughnuts.

You can easily miss this place as they still had the previous business sign up ‘optician’ when we visited. I only knew of this cafe because of my search on HappyCow.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff with trendy interior.

We ordered different breakfast buns which were really tasty. Being nosey I had a good glance at what our neighbouring diner were having and the breakfast beans and scramble looked amazing.

We also ordered the doughnuts to go. They are a decent size filled either with raspberry jam, biscoff or chocolate. The doughnuts were very well stuffed but quite oily. I wasn’t too keen on the chocolate filling unfortunately and my daughter found the biscoff filling not very biscoffy. My husband really enjoyed the raspberry doughnut though.

We will definitely be back for the brunch next time we visit Stirling.

Pros: Lots of options , Friendly staff , Brunch
