Charlie's Theatre Cafe Bar in Stirling

One staff member showed unnecessarily rude behaviour rushing me out with my dog. Completely over the top response let us down in what is otherwise a delightful wee cafe.

Welcoming atmosphere, and brightly lit from the above glass ceiling. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great selection if you're in for a bite to eat. Excellent coffee! Keep it up!

Food excellent! Staff always friendly , probably the best coffee I have tasted ! Reasonably priced, great location !

This is a rather nice cafe/bar in the courtyard of the Stables at Mugdock country party. Nice coffee and drinks, but have not eaten here. This is one of two cafes in the courtyard. They are both quite different in style and menu but are equally good and welcome places to stop for refreshments any time of the year.

Regularly walk to Mugdock from Milngavie, and knowing that a great flat white can be had in here, even at 9am in the morning, makes the walk bearable. Large range of sandwiches, cakes and cold drinks too.

Great freshly made coffee & lattes before walking through the beautiful forest of Mugdock. Country Park. Friendly, accommodating staff. A little caffeine always helps you appreciate the beautiful scenery even more.

I wish Trip Advisor would allow you to comment on other people's reviews and their responses. This is NOT expensive and the food is of good quality and always adequately filled. People find it easy to moan behind a keyboard but not in person which is disappointing. Have always had great food and service here and, if anything, it is underpriced. Lovely, friendly community feel. Great choice. Best of luck to this fab business.

Had lunch here last week on our visit to Mugdock Park. The layout tries to be sympathetic to the original building which we really liked. I thought the people that ran the place were brilliant. The food and coffees were good and reasonably priced. The kids really loved their nachos (plenty of them along with cheese and salsa), I really enjoyed my pannini as well. The warm welcoming atmosphere and the positive happy to help attitude of the staff made it a great lunch. Top makes.

By far the best coffee in Milngavie and Bearsden... not much else needs to be said really... but if you go in the morning you can also get a bacon and black pudding roll... cant do better than that!

A group of us dropped in for late lunch after a cold winter walk in Mugdock Park. The paninis and wraps were tasty but, the fillings were a we bit sloppy, the cake was good and the coffee was great.

Lovely little coffee shop, nice atmosphere and good selection of drinks and food. We had sandwiches, a cake and a waffle, all were very good and very tasty hot chocolate!!

A regular spot for a Sunday morning coffee. Lovely staff! Good quality coffee. Snacks and light lunch also available.

On boxing day the kids were feeling little cabin fever so we decided to head to Mugdock country park. Seemed everyone else had this idea. We decided to get in out of the cold and enjoy a treat. It was very busy but they were dealing with it very well considering it had been Christmas the day before. We met some neighbours with their child and we all sat and enjoyed lovely hot chocolate and some bakes. Was just perfect for festive period. Would love to try again in the future. I loved that it's named after the elephant that used to live at Mugdock zoo. Lovely piece of history for the kids to enjoy. Thank you for a lovely day.

On finishing our walk, we popped in here for a coffee and to warm through. However, the smell of the food was too tempting, we ended up ordering a toasted panini. I chose the beef, soft cheese and onion chutney, my husband the pepperoni one. Both were delicious and accompanied with Deli crisps. The only let down was that we were not given the choice of crisps and were given salt and vinegar which I gave to my husband. No complaint from him, but just as feedback it might be nice be asked (or just give ready salted to all customers).

Mugdock has three places to eat and drink... this is by far the best coffee in the park, either sit in or carryout whilst you are walking.

situated within Mugdock country park, one of three in the park. good for snacks and coffee.caters for clients visiting for entertainment in the evenings.open for lunch also.

Been a few times and the staff have always been friendly. Quirky bits to sit in make it a bit different. Good coffee and cake.

Yo estaba muy decepcionado por la calidad de la comida, teniendo en cuenta el alto precio. Insultingly, la baguette estaba seco y parecía que habían sido llenos con el mínimo para hacer mucho provecho de todo lo posible. Si se van a cobrar precios altos,...

Buen descubrimiento! Escondido en la esquina pero vale la pena la visita. Café era muy buena y a un precio muy razonable! Y el sándwich de ternera con pimienta Mayo fue increíble! Me encantó la adición de los mini-sofás para los niños!

Have frequently stopped off here over the last year on our family walks.Good food, good hot drinks, nice loyalty card scheme and brilliant kids caves.We always stop off here before we start our walks.

Pleasant staff nice decor and excellent hot drinks. Food selection fresh and good for a snack with tea or coffee. Have always managed to get a seat either inside or out. No queuing yet.

Stopped off here over Christmas and on New Year's Day and had lovely coffee and cakes. They staff are so helpful. It is a great stopping point when out walking at Mugdock

This is a great place within the Mugdock park visitor centre. Open and busy even on bank holidays. Great selection of hot drinks. I stopped for a hot chocolate post wintry walk. Perfect for this. I have looked into returning for their evening cinema clubs and think it would be a great venue - it has a licenced bar too.

For some time 3 of us have stopped off at Charlie's on a Sunday while out cycling. I must say the coffee and on the odd occasions the bagels, scones or croissants are absolutely delicious. The staff are delightful and nothing is a bother. The little tucked away gem is worth a visit.

Love going into Charlie's for a take away tea before going on our big walk around Mugdock.Then popping in afterwards for lunch.Good selection on the menu, the roast beef panini is delicious.Kids menu good value.Nice and clean, toilet facilities for disabled and baby change available.Staff very friendly and welcoming.

good service with decent bar choices of beers wines etc quiet lounge and lovely location for a coffee break whilst visiting mugdock country park

Went for lunch and the menu has a good selection of sandwiches and soup usual cakes coffee etc...Well priced and didn't need to wait too long for our food being brought to us....Soup was tasty and served with bread.Can sometimes be busy if weather is good but was okay today.Only negative feedback would be the floor is carpet and it was bad with food debris which is bit off putting...Girl was really friendly and making sure we were well catered for which was great!!

Charlie's is a nice layout - lovely decoration. Coffee was nice and there is a great choice of cakes. Good service. Lovely comfy seats and couches.Can't judge it on lunch as have only had coffees and cake etc there. They certainly do nice looking filled baguette / sandwich things. There are a few other choices at Mugdock but we like Charlie's if we want a slightly more upmarket coffee etc. It would be nice to hire for a party as well. Its also the only option really if its raining and you have the dog with you as they can be tied outside for a short while.

now called The Chunkey Monkey, serving great coffee and tardy snacks. They were very busy on a Sunday afternoon but the service was quick and friendly

Lorna and I stopped in here for a quick soup and sandwich lunch. They had broccoli and Stilton which was very tasty and we split a chicken salad baguette, also freshly made a good quality. The cafe is in a pretty little courtyard next to the visitor centre from where you can start a number of short country park walks. It is also home to a quirky little theatre.There should be more places of this quality.
