All within the confines of a 600-year-old storefront. It gets very busy at noon time so I would recommend getting there at around 11:30 or 1145. We absolutely loved it, and Sterling was beautiful beyond expectations.

I also had a swig or two or the hubby's Ginger Beer (not the alcoholic version), which had quite the kick of ginger. Wi-Fi has a password that is displayed on the board near the back of the restaurant. I sat by a wall covered with currency from everywhere it seemed, which was interesting. Great place to grab a light snack.

Non of us could fault our food all very tasty plates which included Nacho chicken panini, ham and lentil soup, chicken mayo sandwich, haggis and cheese sandwich and cheddar and chutney sandwich. All sandwiches came with either crisps or salad and the soup had plenty of fresh bread on the side. A selection of drinks from hot chocolate, coffee, chocolate milkshake and tea was lovely too. As always the stroll around the farm shop afterwards is always full of lovely local produce and I always find something tasty to buy :-)

By far my favorite spot in stirling/bridge of allen. I wish I could bring this place back with me…read moreto the states. We honestly became addicted to coming here. The service almost always was super attentive and always made sure we were taken care of. 10/10 recommend the millionaire bars they were almost always delicious and moist I also think it might depend on the baker whose baking too which batch and cutting the bars and desserts because somedays the pieces are different or taste just a little bit better but regardless always tasty! However the only one we did not like surprisingly was the carrot cake. It was just weirdly dense not cakie and like juicy its a bit weird to explain but just wasnt our favorite. Everything else though awesome and the food is just superb! I think my favorite was the vegan fry or haggis toastie if you like a bit of sweet and salty combo! If you go on the weekends however I do recommend having a booking or you most likely wont get in till later in the day. I'll miss you hideaway the best food!

Having had brunch here previously, heading here for lunch was something I was excited about. It was very busy this time round so service was understandably a little slower. We did have a short wait for a table but it really wasn't long till we were seated considering it was peak lunching hour. Oh my word. Sandwich heaven. I had the bacon and mozzarella baguette with hot salsa and guacamole and it was absolutely delicious. Lots of cheese, lots of bacon, lots of yum. The Hideaway is just the perfect spot for tea and cake, I definitely want to sample their baked goods soon. Very, very soon!

Cozy layout, lots of seating space, AMAZING seasonal specials....

I would give it 5 stars for this, super cozy mugs also. But, we got sandwiches and they were tasty but a bit dry... the cheese/ha sandwich could have had a bit more filling and my pesto-sundried tomatoes-cheese grilled sandwich had a lovely taste but the bun was too dry, unfortunately! But, then again, the drinks were soooo soooo good for today's winter day! SO 4 stars, here you go!

(Tip well guys! :P) This place has got a very chilled out, laid back vibe. It's the kind of place after you've been a few times, they remember your order and your favourite seat. The coffee is reasonably priced BUT remember to flash your student card for a little extra discount! Also, if you buy a coffee before 10am you get free refills all day which was always a great incentive for me to be up and at 'em before the morning rush! There is also a good selection of cakes and snacks on offer (the cheese and bacon toasties are delish!) and soup for lunchtime hunger pangs. They also have a reasonable selection of soft drinks and milkshakes on offer and an amazing selection of weirdly named teas (try the Magic Tea, it's a revelation.) It's also open til 8pm which is a bonus! The Burgh is also available for events too - I've attended group German lessons there, a Lush party, an SSP meeting, an open mic night and even had a tutor hold a seminar in the place. I'm pretty sure it's free to book so it's great for wee gatherings in a nice cosy setting. There's a vast selection of board games on offer too, as well as hundreds of donated to books to simply flick through or to buy with a donation. Free WIFI too - it became my study sanctuary for a year or too! Settle in to one of their comfy sofas or their more private booths and drift away with a Gingerbread Latte - bliss!

They had all the typical coffee shop offerings and reasonable prices. The barista was very friendly and our coffees were excellent. The Coffee House did have free wifi which was much appreciated. Would definitely return to the Coffee House if I found myself sleepy in Stirling or in need of a break from the rain/cold that occasionally passes through Scotland!

The menu has a lot of standards, and the tastiest thing we had (in my opinion) was the soup. Tasted very homemade and had lots of flavor.

In my four years of living in Stirling I've not encountered a Starbucks. Quite simply, there isn't…read moreone. Unless you count Underground which sells official Starbucks coffee to students on campus. It's large and spacious with boothes for groups and computers for studying. It's certainly a popular haunt for students and if you're keen for a booth, you best be fast. If I'm studying, I'd head to a lab. I wouldn't usually choose Underground as it tends to get loud. And it's not somewhere I'd head down for an afternoon bite as there's better eateries on campus. I'd much rather head into town to somewhere a little more cosey but that's just my preference.

We were…read moredirected here by the information center in the nearby shopping mall and we had exactly the breakfast we needed. The food was plain, filling grub that kept us full during a long morning of sight seeing. I liked that you could order what you wanted from a long list of breakfast items and had the choice of the number of things you wanted. I had my first experience with vegetarian haggis and, although I can't say i have too much experience with it, really enjoyed it! In summation, this place was quaint, comfortable, filling, and affordable. It might not be winning any fine dining awards, but it doesn't have to. If a good, old fashioned breakfast is what you seek, seek no further.
