Caffe Pompei in Stirling

Absolutamente increíble! El dueño nos agradó en la puerta, nos dio un tour, explicó todas las opciones de postres disponibles. Nos encantó ver la pasión! ¡El servicio al cliente 1000/10! Sin duda volveremos el año que viene.

Estoy en una forma muy restringida de comer (sin pasta, pan, patatas o cerdo). No había nada adecuado en el menú para mí. Mario, el propietario (encantador) se tomó el tiempo para ayudarme y preparó un plato encantador de comida de lo que tenían disponible. Ps. Los pasteles, y los cannoli se veían increíbles! Y el café era excelente. ¡Muchas gracias, Mario! Fue un lugar perfecto para reunirse con mi amigo.

Increíble desierto y desayuno! Gran ambiente general, es propiedad de la familia de un hombre y su hija, ambos son muy amables e hilarantes, tuvimos una gran conversación antes de salir con uno de todo!

Un lugar tan delicioso para el café o el almuerzo, la sopa es deliciosa y nunca puedo decir que no a los cannolis! Soy estudiante en Stirling y me encanta probar nuevos lugares, pero ningún café ha sido tan agradable como este. El personal es simplemente maravilloso también! Muy amable y nos habló a través de cada pastel y tarta! Brilliant.

Un café absolutamente encantador justo en el centro de Stirling. Los cannolis son increíbles. Mario y Connie son tan acogedores y amables. Una gran manera de probar algunos auténticos dulces italianos. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

Undoubtedly the best coffee anywhere near Stirling. Mario always serves with a smile and his pastries and lunch options are fantastic as well. Amazing service, highly recommend!

fantastico, un vero caffè italiano con specialità italiane vere, i cannoli sono superbi, i babà sono meglio che in Italia, per non parlare degli altri dolci, il caffè poi è il migliore di Stirling. a pranzo poi si può sempre trovare qualche piatto di pasta, la parmigiana, le polpette al sugo, oppure i tipici arancini. assolutamente un'esperienza da fare anche per l'atmosfera familiare che si respira una volta entrati. Mario e Connie sono sempre molto gentili, affabili e disponibili, ed è sempre un piacere essere accolti dal sorriso di Mia e Maisie.

Fantastic cafe selling delicious coffee and cakes. Owner is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Stirling

This café is my happy place. A beautiful family ran cafe with the best coffee and cakes in Stirling. Went today as it was extremely warm and they serve the best gelato in Scotland and today was no different with brand new pistachio flavoured gelato. Absolutely the best ice cream I've ever had. Definitely would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Stirling or a local who hasn't been.

Lovely arancini balls with beef ragu for lunch. Light and filling. Gorgeous gelato cone for dessert. Friendly service. Clean and reasonably priced.

Quality little cafe that I’ve walked past hundreds of times but never went in. The meatball special was beautiful, the owner and service was quality and a great selection of deserts. I would recommend not walking past this little gem.

Lovely authentic food- the arancini were so tasty and freshly made. And so reasonably priced. Great coffee and canoli and other cakes and pastries to spoil you! This is family owned and run and very welcoming and friendly. I’d recommend it for a stop anytime!

i cannot recommend this place ENOUGH. The pastries were AMAZING, the food was DELIGHTFUL, and the family that runs this place are some of the nicest people i’ve met on my trip to scotland. I LOVE this place!!

Had a superb pizza and arancini for lunch, followed by a proper Italian coffee and a delicious pear cake served warm with cream on the side. All this served by friendly Italian staff. Hope to go again soon!

Amazing spot for lunch and afternoon tea with friends. The meatball dish is a must try! The dessert shelf has lots of options and it's different every week so I always get to try something new.

Great food and great service from Mario. Very authentic food and restaurant. Enjoyed it very much………………….

I was visiting Stirling for work and came previously the night before to see if the cafe was still open. I came early the next morning for breakfast and had a warm welcome from Mario who remembered me from the night previous. Mario offered me a freshly baked pastry recommending a house special which was just delicious. I also had 2 lavazza coffees which is hard to come across. Mario and Connie made me feel so welcome they are both the nicest people I’ve met in Stirling. I would come back to the city just to come to Caffe Pompei again! Thank you again, Lauren from Liverpool 😊

Found this place by accident when on a training course in Stirling now come back regularly with my husband. 40 mile round trip each time for the best coffee and croissants around! We always get some cannoli to take home too. You won't be disappointed by the food, coffee or service!

We stopped here on our way up further north and we weren’t disappointed. We had the specials off the lunch board, pesto pasta, meatballs and a beef stew, all of which were delicious and very Italian. We couldn’t resist ordering some of the cakes for afters which were equally yummy!

Came in to Stirling to find some lunch on the drive up to the cairngorms, had a bit of a walk around with no plan to hand, discounted a number of other places, walking past this restaurant we decided to pop in, and so glad we did. Initially the plan had been a quick bite and back on the road, but the option of ham and cheese tortellini was to good to turn down, a good sized portion with a good cheese sauce and shavings of parmasan, then we were tempted with chocolate cake (and who's not for tempting whilst on holiday) very good food at a fair price and friendly staff.

I have been in here several times as have a love of Italian food: particularly with aubergines in. Great decaf coffee and even cooking tips. Good selection of cakes too. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

I visited this lovely cafe for the first time a few days ago and I would recommend people to try it too . I had a lovely latte and granola with fresh fruit and yoghurt. The granola is great quality , tasty and nutty I loved it . The service was really good , very friendly and attentive .

Real Italian coffee here. Pet friendly with treats. Owner is a gentleman. Ferrro Rocher choc bomb is divine. Do not go anywhere else in Stirling!

Caffe Pompeii is a fantastic cafe that is well worth a visit. With its great food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends over a cup of coffee. The best homemade Italian pastries and coffee in Stirling.

Went with my partner. Great coffee and amazing food. We live locally and will definitely be back :)!

We popped in for lunch and ordered panninis , iced coffees and then dessert. The food was amazing- so tasty and didn’t skimp on fillings. Service was great and we were made to feel very welcome

My girlfriend and I met here for the first time back in February 2023 and we were back again this week just gone by. This time we had lunch and the options shown on the special menu were excellent. The Polpette with ciabatta were were cooked to perfection and full of flavour while my partner had the Caponata with ciabatta. For dessert, we had the pistachio cannoli and this is hands down to die for as a dessert. I say this only because I have not tried everything else yet but so far this is top of the list. I would like to thank Mario for his welcoming and friendliness and that he takes the time to speak to each of his customers. Along with his friendliness, he has a wonderfully kind nature and sense of humour, all to add to the magical experience. This is our favourite place to come as it has the best memories and we will frequent again soon!

Mario and his wife are the absolute sweetest people. Not only were the pastries and coffee amazing but the atmosphere was as well. I felt so welcomed. I will definitely be back!

This is my second visit, and both times the owners of this place go above and beyond to make every customer feel special. They took the time to customize our drinks exactly to our liking and engaged in friendly chats, making us feel right at home! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable experience!

The coffee was good and the croissants delicious and so fresh. Nice environment and very clean. The owner was very friendly and the service was great. We will be back for sure ☺️

So glad we found this cafe! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Freshly made gnocchi and the coffee and cannoli afterwards was fantastic. The owner took the time to explain each cake to us before choosing - it was...

Really nice little cafe with lovely friendly staff! And the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend

My family visited Cafe Pompei around 6 months. Living in Northern Ireland I am rarely in Scotland. We came back to Stirling specifically to come back to this cafe. It is that good. I can neither pronounce or know what a number of the delights...

Absolutely lovely place! Great service, delicious food, a real find. Their specials were interesting and delicious, I would eat their caponata every day if I could. The owner and his staff were really friendly, but professional. Highly recommend.

We stopped for coffee and ended up with a few absolutely delicious pastries as well as great coffee. Lovely chap who I assume was the owner recommened a few things for us.

Amazing cakes, great authentic staples from Southern Italy. The best in Scotland made woth fresh Italian ingredients .

First visit for a birthday lunch today. Cannelloni was delicious and cakes were amazing. Fantastic, friendly staff. Definitely new favourite spot in Stirling.

The coffee was good and the almond and lemon tart looked delicious so I ordered that. It tasted a little stale sadly. However given that the portion I was given was the thinnest slice of tart possible I imagine the full tart might take a...

This has to be my favourite cafe in stirling!! Love coming here to do uni work, the staff are lovely and the cakes and pastries are delicious. Especially the pistachio cannolis!

Stopped off here on a day out in Stirling. Great place for coffee and a cake but also real find for authentic Italian food from the specials board.

Really great coffee shop with friendly service and great food and coffee. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and informative. The coffee is definitely the best in Stirling and the cakes and pastries absolutely delicious! I'll be back.

Since moving to Stirling my partner and I have spent at least one day a week here! The cakes are phenomenal and even if we can't make it for a coffee we will take some away for a nice breakfast the next morning. The atmosphere...

Went because 5 star review on trip advisor! Food lacked flavour and was bland. Nothing on plate as a garnish. Service slow.

We popped in on a visit to Stirling for an early lunch and were looking for somewhere we would be able to take our dog in with us. Mario greeted us and made us feel very welcome, the service was really great, lunch was delicious,...

Went here on reviews saying it was excellent . Very disappointed . Ordered Ravioli and gnocchi. Asked for Parmesan , they didn’t have any, what kind of Italian restaurant doesn’t have Parmesan? The food arrived and was at best unremarkable, the pasta was very chewy...

This place is as good as its 5 star rating suggests. My family just about tried every cake and pastry available over 2 visits and take away boxes. I have no idea what almost any of the pastries are called or how they taste in...

Enjoyed a really lovely lunch here on Sunday with my family & friends. Very friendly, accommodating staff, delicious food & very handy for rail station & old town attractions. Highly recommend & will be back. Thanks again!

The pastries in the window caught my eye so I popped in for lunch. The food was well prepared and tasty, and the customer service was attentive and gave that authentic Italian personal feel. But as expected the cannoli and apollina

Fantastic place for coffee with Italian pastries or great home cooked lunches. Ably hosted by the charismatic Mario who is just waiting to engage with you on any subject you wish! Can't recommend highly enough. If you are in Stirling go here!

Honestly, Caffe Pompei is my favourite place to go in Stirling. The selection of pastries and Italian treats are unrivalled, the atmosphere is relaxed and the surroundings clean and inviting. The highlight of it all though is Mario, who is always so welcoming and chatty....

My husband and I ate here and it was such a treat. There was such an great choice of cakes and it was difficult to select but Mario made a great recommendation - lemon and chocolate. The cakes are heavenly, the sponges are so light...

WOW! Couldn’t recommend it here enough! Lovely staff, so polite and friendly, with so much knowledge on what they served. The food was amazing, we had some pizza and paninis, followed by cannoli and coffee. 10/10 we couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone visiting Stirling....

5 star reviews… how? I wish I had taken a photograph of the “pizza”, “calzone” and “panini”. Service was great, place really nice. But the food was bland, soggy (calzone) and dry (pizza). And then the price for what you get. I feel bad leaving...

Awesome coffee. Americanos that are second to none. Truly a great experience. The owner is so friendly too.

My husband and I met with my mum in Stirling. We had planned the touristy bit and lunch. We didn't know where to go for food. In the end we decided to try this cafe. Well we were warmly greeted by staff. The choices of...

The most deliciously light carrot cake (topped with a hazelnut cream) that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Wonderfully smooth blend of decaf - oat milk alternative too. Panini was equally delicious. Staff were very friendly & helpful - would recommend a visit....

During our stay in Stirling we wanted some good coffee: and Caffe Pompei delivered! So we came back the next day. We also tried the cannelloni, which were delicious and enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere. Recommended if you love the italian coffee and pastries!

I enjoy every visit to Caffe Pompei. The coffee is beautiful and the food is always amazing. Mario and the staff are so welcoming and friendly, always service with a smile! Anyone visiting Stirling needs to stop by.

Visited on a busy Thursday afternoon and despite this the service was still superb. Staff are very quick and helpful. Can tell straight away that the food is prepared fresh and was definitely up there with one of the best cannoli's I've ever tried. The...

Lovely friendly place with home made Italian specials as well as panini sandwiches cakes/pastries. Owner is so friendly and obviously very proud of his cafe. Nice and airy.

Popped in for lunch on a recommendation - Mario's place is lovely and the food is incredible. 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been coming here since I started at university in 2019, the cafe had the same owners but different business at the time. When I was very homesick in a new town Mario made me feel welcome and at home. The food at Caffe Pompei...

Lovely Italian Café in the heart of Stirling. Offers delicious lunch and desserts, definitely recommend the Cannoli.

Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Very clean and tidy. Reasonable prices and good food. I will certainly be back the next time I’m in Stirling.

Superb coffee and the best pastries I’ve tasted in a long time. The pistachio cream was unreal. Warmly welcomed and seated, staff were lovely and accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back.

Popped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Friendly staff, brilliant coffee, croissants and orange juice. Highly recommended and great value, will definitely be back next time in Stirling.

The best cafe in town! Myself and friends went for coffee and cake, the selection of cakes available was amazing, and the coffee was the best we’ve had! It was served by friendly, knowledgable staff, we definitely recommend to anyone in Stirling!

As an Italian, it’s always hard for me to find a good Italian cafe abroad but Mario was amazing. We loved the gnocchi and the potato croquettes, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely be back

We had the most delicious lunch - the main course was fabulous and the range of cakes for after was unbelievable. Really wonderful and the staff are absolutely lovely. 🍰😀

We popped in for a coffee and cake and the selection was to die for! Friendly staff and lovely food! Would definitely recommend

We visited whilst with family in Stirling for half term. We had a lovely lunch and something different. Unfortunately our granddaughters are not too adventurous yet as they are young but we had a lovely lunch. Restaurant was lovely clean and spacious and the patron...

From outside this small café looks the typical basic one we find in every high street but honestly it is anything but . We entered looking for a coffee and a cake but the variety on offer was awesome ! I and my other half...

My favourite place ! I’m a local and this is my favourite place, whatever the occasion - quick drop in for coffee and home made croissant or fabulous lunchtime special from their menu board. (I discovered a previously unknown love of aubergine from one of...

Super fresh and simple Italian mains, with daily specials. Just superb. The deserts are delicious. Great staff / owner

Looking for a taste of True Italy, then look no further than this delightful Italian Gem of a Cafe in the Heart of Stirling. Authentic Cuisine almost as good as my mum used to make and boy, could she cook! Traditional Italian desserts fresh from...

This is without a doubt the best caffe in Stirling. From the delicious main courses to the incredible cakes. Every visit is thoroughly enjoyable. Not only that, the owners are fantastic and make you feel welcome. I cannot recommend this caffe enough.

Tasteless and very overpriced, the staff get annoyed when asked about the prices but they didn’t label any. This experience made me left a worse impression of Stirling.

My daughter and I went here one morning and it did not disappoint. Great food, quiet atmosphere. Great experience all around.

Chanced upon Caffe Pompei for brunch before leaving Stirling. Quite a variety of light lunch menu and plenty choices of pastries. Happy with our orders of arancini and Panini. Left satisfied after finishing off the great pastries and hot cuppa americano!👍👍

Visited with my wife for the first time. I had a delicious chicken Milanese sandwich and the lightest tastiest rum baba I’ve ever had. Wife enjoyed her panini and cannoli. Can’t wait for my next visit, the rest of the cakes looked amazing and might...

Had the best ever Latte here this morning, biscuits and cakes good too and lovely cosy friendly atmosphere

Highly recommend this welcoming little taste of Italy. The coffee and cakes are the best in town and the service is first class

A very nice place to have a break on a soggy afternoon.I love Stirling but the weather that day was truly awful.The cafe more than compensated for this,the seating was comfortable,the service excellent and the coffee and cake were wonderful.

First of all, service is professional but friendly, relaxed, welcoming and accommodating. The food and coffee is so good. Quality ingredients and produce; Not rushed or slapped together; the care, pride, small batches for baking or morning croissant, partnered with a high quality coffee (and...
