Brians Cafe in Falkirk

Reviewing Hope Street Cafe. Friendly welcome from staff seems a popular spot for locals . We are not my husbands family belong Boness. Ordered a Lorne sausage(square sliced if your Scottish on proper breakfast roll my husband had black pudding roll generous two slices. We shared a pot of tea which was very good. Excellent prices. Great service our server even went and picked up sauce and napkins for us which we could have done ourselves. Not often in the area but will come back here.

Best full Scottish about! Fantastic service & good strong coffee. Highly recommend paying a visit if you're in the market for a quality meal!

Very friendly staff Excellent value for money . Food hot and loads if it . Will be back .We only found this as it’s opposite the Hippodrome .

My friend and I dined here yesterday. I had a baked potato with coronation chicken and my friend had mince and tatties. Both were excellent and well presented. The staff were efficient and friendly. The cafe was very busy and had to turn people away as there were no empty table.available. The only drawback is the noise but otherwise a better experience this time and will return and recommend.

We travel here once a fortnight more if we can & drive for an hour to have food in this fantastic cafe, the food is scrumptious & the staff are brilliant they are friendly & up for a laugh, we took our well behaved jack russell with us & they even made time to speak to our dog. I can’t praise the cafe, the food, & the staff enough. Jimmy Birnie.

Cafe is now called hope street cafe. We didn’t realise how noisy it was until we were seated. Would have seemed rude to have up and left. My tea was a cup of hot water with a tea bag on the saucer. We both had bacon rolls but were not offered any sauce or napkins. Realise that maybe we had to help our selves. Same with the service we sat for a while before being told to order at the counter. Not a great welcome for strangers we thought. We have visited the cafe some years ago and enjoyed it more then.

Unfortunately I’m only able to give this café 1 star when in actual fact it deserved None! I Was a little early for a job in Bo’ness so decided to have an early breakfast! I ordered a full breakfast,. No tea or coffee. Asked the, who I presumed to be the cafes owner if he had Wi-Fi… NO. ah well. Waiting patiently for my breakfast and looking forward to it as I rarely have one. It arrived. Okay, at this point it started to go south! This imbecile was no cook but he did know how to use a deep fat fryer! Absolutely everything apart from the beans and egg had been deep fried. The egg yolk was raw.. you know that slimy way and burnt on the bottom. Inedible. However, the best was yet to come. When I went to pay. £9.50!!!! and WITHOUT A TEA OR COFFEE!! What?? He asked “Did you not see what you got?” Yeh but it wasn’t worth £9.50 I mentioned that the egg was raw and everything tasted of old fat. His exceptional customer skills came to the fore at this point. “Don’t bother to come back” As if I would you fool. All that’s left to say is that this idiots inability to cook a simple breakfast was only preceded by his encyclopaedic moronic attitude. I guess it’s just down to standards and this moron is devoid.

Stopped for breakfast’s Staff are lovely And there breakfasts are amazing The resturant is always busy

Have been here twice for breakfast, now called Hope Street Cafe. Oh my, what an amazing place I don't even know where to start! The staff are super, very accommodating. We had a full breakfast each, toast and coffee was served first (within minutes) was the most delicious seedy bread and the butter wasn't that horrible frozen cold way. We didn't have long to wait for the full breakfast, no fuss over us changing a few bits we didn't like and on point! The links weren't mealy, the egg was beautifully runny, the bacon nice and thick, black pudding and haggis super flavoursome. The Mr says it was probably the best hash brown he's had. When the waitress seen we had finished our toast, we were furnished with more, no hassle. The atmosphere is great, a classic cafe without the stuck on greasey smell. The coffee is really nice, not too bitter. Honestly this is probably the longest review you could expect from a breakfast, but it seriously is so good!!

Amazing cafe love the friendly staff and the food is amazing! Proper cafe interior feels like old school cafes which I like and simply best food for breakfast and lunches in Bo’ness, but only place I can go myself and feel not weird sitting by myself!

Whats not to like about this place, for years they have provided a great service to the local people. The new owners have also kept the same high standard of food and service. Now that the business has opened back up (for takeaway) I will be supporting them through what must have been a tough time for any local small business. Even after all they have went through they remain upbeat and ready to take on the challenge that lies ahead.

Good service, well filled, tasty breakfast rolls and good coffee. Very handy for the John Muir way - Ideal for a post-walk breakfast. We’ll be back!

An inexpensive cafe for having a cuppa while having a natter with a friend. Their cheese scones are delicious and you get loads of butter with it. Staff are lovely and friendly and nothing is a bother for them. Definitely recommend you give this cafe a try...

We enjoyed the staff and food. Service was ace and we had a good laugh with them. When ever you are close, dont mis it. No high end restaurant, but what you see is what you get!

Had a full scottish breakfast, absolutely amazing.Staad are fantastic but not too over attentive. Can't recommend Brian's cafe enough.

Just had the full Scottish breakfast here this morning. Highly recommend this economical, family.run cafe.

The first thing I noticed was the smooth level entry to the cafe, excellent for wheelchairs, people using walking sticks & Mum's with young children. When we arrived we were given a lovely welcome, ordered our food. The tables have good spaces between them, easy...

Stopped here for a coffee as i was told best place in town to have one. Good coffee at a good price served with a smile

When in boness we always stop in at Brians cafe. Food is freshly made, atmosphere relaxed, and best of all cheery friendly staff.

We had already looked into a couple of 'coffee places' and felt this looked the best, the staff were friendly, roll quickly made and coffee delivered. A very hot day, yet no ice cream fo sale?? It was OK and certainly reasonably priced If going...

Excellent cafe style food . Fantastic friendly staff . Get yourself along for a visit. Varied menu and nothing is too much effort for the staff .

We visited Brian’s cafe quite by accident. What a surprise it was so busy with families. We had soup and toasted sandwiches. Both were so good. We have since returned and enjoyed our visit again. I would recommend Brian’s cafe if you are in Boness.

Love this place! When walking in you automatically know it's a locals treasure. The owner (Brian) seemed to know them all by name and engaged in hearty conversation. We were greeted with a beaming smile. The owner was the only person in as it was...

Faultless from from the beginning,owner very friendly and welcoming, showed interest in and offered recommendations for our visit. We all had the cooked breakfast which was well cooked and included various traditional Scottish dishes like haggis, traditional sausages and potato cakes.To top it off..great price,...

I am a regular here, this is simply the best coffee anywhere...bar none, and believe me I have travelled the world and therefore an expert in coffee in the morning. There was this wee cafe in Kerak, Jordan that would give Brian a run for...

Best Scottish breakfast in the vicinity. Great stovies and the haggis panini is very good too. File under comfort food.

Spotless cafe, friendly staff, good food and long opening hours. Wide range of good food. Well worth the visit.

BRILLIANT device with a smile and greatbanter excellent coffee and got filled rolls - bacon particularly with HP classic greasy spoon worth the trip 👍

You've got to eat at Brians when you come out of the Hippodrome. A great cafe with good quality food at low prices. Brian's is one of the few thriving businesses in Boness. Before you order check out the daily specials board too. Don't overorder,...

Always good value for money. Good simple food. Friendly and polite staff. Nice atmosphere, with lots of locals using the cafe. Always made to feel welcome.

This was a proper cafe (pronounced 'kaff'!) - full of locals, clearly a meeting point for news and gossip...and breakfast treats. Nothing fancy, Brian cooks and his friendly lady helpers serve, Brian's family photos are all around the walls (rather a charming touch...you won't get...

Situated not far from the car park ( near the railway line) and the bus stance, this cafe offers a decent range of soup, filled rolls, paninis and drinks. When I visited it was quite quiet and I was served immediately. They only accept cash...

excellent tradditional cafe for these yummy fry ups and the coffeee excellent as well just what you want in a scottish cafe great on a sunday morning when maybe partaken a little too much pop on a saturday night LOL

Blatant no dogs even on a way Wednesday. Why are dogs not allowed when other restaurants and Costa do allow.

Great place for a meal - huge portions so make sure you're hungry. Really friendly service, clean tables, decent choice off the menu or can make a couple of things up to suit on request inc. filed rolls etc to cary out. All the food...

Just opposite the famous Hippodrome ( art deco ) cinema in Hope Street, Boness, Falkirk, Scotland is Brians Cafe. CLEAN, DECENT and VALUE FOR MONEY. We don't live nearby so onle ever visit Brians Cafe when we are at the Hippodrome cinema. Don't go in...
