Coffee Kiln at The Pottery Shop in Stirling

Very tasty lunch of Mac cheese with bacon. Freshly made....loads of lovely cheesy sauce. Service good, busy with lovely welcoming atmosphere. Bonus...one of the customers was Jules from Escape to the Country and also Kaye Adams. Tempted but didn't ask for a selfie🤣🤣

Popped in for breakfast on way home from a glamping break at The Fishing Hut, Ballochneck. I had a 5 item plate and hubby had just the 7!! Both freshly cooked and delicious. We couldn't leave without a small purchase from the selection of pottery on sale and of course a huge slab of homemade Millionaires shortbread to go. Both waitress and owner made us feel very welcome. Would recommend you visit soon.

Love this place - newly discovered. Friendly staff and chef, interesting pottery and art plus good coffee and scone. Nice looking cakes too. Relaxed on the sofa with a magazine

On our way to Glasgow we descided to stop at the Pottery Shop for just a coffee. But when we entered the shop, they just pulled the fresh cakes and brownies out. The smell was so tempting we had to try and it didn't disappoint us. The staff was so friendly and I loved the interieur. I really recommend this place.

We came across this wonderful little cafe when passing through on way back home from a trip to Kintyre. We were hungry so parked up and went in. This is a real gem of a cafe. It has such a welcoming, friendly vibe, due to the way the staff ( and owner) treat you. It’s the little details that count. I was with my elderly parents and we all agreed that we wished this cafe could be in our home town!! The food was fantastic and plentiful. The display of local artists work for sale also makes it a wonderful place to browse and admire the work on display. Next time we are in the area we will most definitely return. Thankyou so much for all your hospitality and kindness.

Lovely vibe very cozy and staff welcoming and friendly! Feels like u have popped to a friends house for a visit. I had a delicious glutenfree carrot cake and a flat white which was nice a wee bit more practice on the milk and presentation but was not burnt and had good foundations. (I’m a nz coffee snob tho) will happily be back!!

Great wee cafe, great staff and great pottery and gifts! Food is delicious, baked goods all home made and delicious! We’ll worth a wee visit!

Fresh scones absolutely amazing. Really lovely cafe with local arts, crafts and lots of pottery avaliable to purchase.

Wow - the staff were the nicest people! Me and my partner were passing through, and stopped off for lunch. We never expected such great food! The empire biscuit is the best desert I’ve ever had in my life. What a great experience.

Coffee was absolutely delicious as was the bacon roll. Staff were soo kind and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend and will return next time I am in the area.

This has get to be the worst toastie ever , very expensive with hardly any filling in it. I definitely wouldn't go back

Wow! This place is a wee treasure..stopped off for a quick bite to eat and we are glad we did! The cakes and treats were mouthwatering to look at and even more delicious to taste 😋..staff were so welcoming and friendly .. this wee gem of a place is definitely recommended 👌

Had a lovely visit to the coffee kiln today. The new owner is lovely and the food we had was delicious. I had read a few reviews that were pretty awful but thought I would see for myself. It looks like these reviews have been left by friends of the previous tenant, as they name them. My experience is that the new owner bakes everything fresh and nothing is to much hassle for her. Can't wait to return.

Special burger and homemade cookies are great, staff are always friendly, good to have it as a local cafe.

Absolutely delicious food. Cakes to die for. Scones still warm as fresh out the oven. Never wanted it to end. Highly recommend. Staff were super friendly and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely visit again.

Met up with a friend and we found this amazing cafe. Food was beautiful, the home baking was to die for! The lovely lady Owner Sheena was so welcoming and friendly and we can’t wait to come back! I’ll definitely be a regular, and my two teenage daughters are dying to try it too with their friends. Thank you again for the lovely food, great coffee and welcoming atmosphere

Loved the home baking and coffee. What a beautiful place, delighted to have found this cafe whilst travelling through the village. Lovely staff, very friendly and welcoming will be back, for sure! 🥰

I came here to pass the time as an appointment was late, the staff were lovely. But the food was awful. It’s like it was taken on by someone with absolutely no experience at all! Had a roll on bacon and the roll was so dry with cheap butter. Cheap teabags. Don’t know if it’s a supplier issue or if they shop via supermarkets and that’s the problem. Because it definitely doesn’t taste like supplier quality food. The menu is simply typed up..No cafe setting menu. It’s like eating in a place that’s opened on a whim…Sheena is lovely and so are staff but it’s not uptoo standard of Jillian and Neil I think her husband was called. Mixed reviews about the cakes as fifteen was lovely but the wagon wheel slice was wrapped in a napkin so couldn’t even eat it. Shortbread a little dry (Went through college in my 20/30s as a baker!) and it’s no where near even National qualification level never mind cafe level. Lovely people just not in the right game. Also always empty I like atmosphere in cafes.

Fantastic. A wee gem. Lovely staff and a great breakfast. Will definitely visit again. Pottery and lovely pictures make this place like a wee museum. A must visit.

I popped in briefly one morning last week. Lovely bright cafe, pleasant surrounding (including craft shop items) and it was nice and clean. My cappuccino was good and the rocky road traybake was brilliant. Worth trying for coffee and home baking, rolls to take away or a light lunch.

Visited today, first time under new management. Very small menu, that’s fine, but poor quality. Toastie was wet, only served with a few crisps and minuscule tub of coleslaw so poor presentation. Milk jug had two chips. Need to up the game if locals are required to support this business. The saving grace was the biscoff cake which was awesome.

Such a shame that the cafe is now under new management ....The new cafe team cannot hope to come up to the standard set by by the previous cafe team ... They don't even know how to make a pot of tea .... Unbelievable .. ..Suggestion to the cafe manager ....Use proper tea bags like Tetley,...and put more than one tea bag in the pot .....maybe teach your staff how to make tea .? A poor show and not outstanding in any way

Lovely little café on the main street in yhe centre of the village. Nice and warm, we stopped to eat something and we had a good soup and sandwich. The espresso is good in this place. Friendly waitress. Enjoyable place, recommended.

De los mejores luch que he comido en Escocia, su sopa de lentejas espectacular y sus sándwiches te dejan sin aliento. Buenísimos y muy bn de precio. Buena cantidad,y lugar muy acogedor.

Great coffee, expertly made cappuccino. Never seen Henry's Coffee anywhere previously. Nice cakes and service as well.

Popped in for breakfast on way home from Stirling. Good service and exceptional breakfast . Gave us a discount and two free cakes , due to running out of sausage . Many thanks and totally recommend

This was a quick stop-off for lunch for us. We had haggis, cheese and red onion marmalade toastie (loved it, though I do like haggis) and brie, bacon and grape toastie. We originally ordered to take away but, as the sun was shining, thought we...

We stopped here for lunch en route to Edinburgh from camping at Loch Lomond. After pulling up at a couple of places that had still to open post lock-down we were staring to wonder if we'd get any lunch at all and ready to settle...

Happened to be passing this on the way back to Dundee. Very friendly welcome and nice compact menu. Had lentil soup, cheese and ham toastie and coffee. Soup was tasty, toastie was excellent, the bread was delicious. Good value, tasty and great service, will definately...

Stumbled upon this little gem while in hunt of a late breakfast. Plumped for a simple bacon roll and pot of tea. Could not have been better! Wish I had room for cake as they looked delicious. Lovely place to sit and watch the world...

Pour un petit-déjeuner typique ou une pause-café le lieu est idéal ! La serveuse est adorable, bonne musique et la...

Great little cafe with tasty lunches. Couldn’t decide between the toasted wraps which all sounded great. The sandwiches come with crisps and salad, the coleslaw is particular good.

Lovely place, the pottery is beautiful, I have bought a couple of teapots over the years and a nice butter dish. The empire biscuits are the best

This is a must go to place for great cooking, I will change my route to get stuff here its that good and staff are lovley. The pottery shop and kiln awsome to , had a lovley breakfast this morning and a soooo tasty lunch...

My young son and I stopped here for a quick lunch after being at the Arnprior farm. Good toasties and lovely coffee. Not a big place but some very interesting pottery to purchase

Stopped into this wee gem on a day out recently. Buchlyvie is a very small, dainty little town and this cafe is pretty much the only cafe in town. The cafe is a reasonable sized cafe with nice decor. You sit nice and warm surrounded...

Fab food, lovely coffee and lovely relaxing atmosphere. Pretty shop and very friendly staff. Really enjoyed our visit.

Lovely menu, efficient staff. Had a very nice baked poato with coronation chicken. Delicious cakes and hot chocolate. Friend says the coffee is great. Situated within the pottery shop with beautiful range of ceramics and other items for sale.

Have stopped here a few times and always been impressed with the quality and freshness of the food, the personal service and fantastic surroundings. If you get a chance pop in, take a seat and look around. You will not be disappointed as the attention...

The breakfast full was for 6.95£ and good coffee! This is typical place ideal to stop for a small break!

Stopped for lunch here. Lovely meal. The pottery is unique.The design of the handles on the mugs teacups and jugs is brilliant.

und sehr feine süße Teilchen/Kuchen. Darüber hinaus sehr gutes Wlan und gemütliche Atmosphäre. Für eine Rast sehr zu empfehlen!

Only a small place but the ciffee and cake were excellent. Lots to buy here as it is a working pottery. They make their own jewellery too. Can be recommended.

This is way more than just a coffee shop. You can sample home baking and a quite amazing range of home cooked meals and snacks. We`ve visited many times and had fabulous soups, wraps, toasties and superb Scottish breakfasts. Consistently of high quality.

We stopped just by chance for lunch and couldn't have been happier to do so. The Coffee Kiln is excellent with friendly staff and first class home cooked food. They had introduced a new menu the day before and it had plenty of tasty items to choose from. The home made lentil soup was delicious as were all the rolls and bloomer sandwiches. We didn't opt for cakes (no room left) but they looked amazing. The cafe has lots of character and is filled with pottery made by the adjoining potter. Definitely a ten out of ten cafe.

Live close by and were looking for a place to have a good cup of coffee . Were not disappointed ! Lovely coffee shop. Delightful staff and very good cakes. Also exceptional value.

We stopped here by chance while passing through en route to Loch Lomond and returned on the way back. The food produced was lovely and the Empire Biscuits were the best I've ever tasted. Will have to go back.

Posto splendido sulla strada che porta da ovest a est della Scozia. Le pareti sono piene di ceramiche che si possono anche acquistare, i piatti sfiziosi e l'ambiente accogliente e rilassante.

Stopped off for lunch on the way to St Andrews. Lovely cafe - great food, excellent service, cosy feel and lots of lovely pottery. Thanks very much

Que nos conducir a través Buchlyvie topamos a ayer y este pequeño y encantador café/tienda de cerámica. Tomamos café y sándwiches, todos recién hechos. Según el propietario que utilizan sólo ingredientes locales.

we stopped here for tea and breakfast rolls. I had croissant with bacon and my friends had rolls with sausage egg etc. Excellent service and friendly staff. Very good value for money. Will return

Estuvimos aquí para el almuerzo recientemente y quedé muy impresionado. Buena comida, personal agradable y buen ambiente. Disfrutamos de la comida y el pastel, nada me puedo quejar. Esperamos volver pronto.

En route from Edinburgh to the west coast we chanced across this little place and did not regret it at all. Staff were pleasant and friendly and food delicious - soup particularly good! Even picked up a couple of Christmas presents from the fabulous pottery on sale. Would certainly return.

Stopped here on the way home from Helensburgh. Sat outside in the sun enjoying the coffee and fantastic home-made cake. Free WiFi a bonus...

Popped in for a quick lunch, lovely little cafe with a nice atmosphere, really nice staff/owners and good food. Unique, hand made pottery too.

Stopped for brunch, and could not fault a thing! Even though it was running at capacity, the service and food was second to none. Very impressed, and looking forward to another visit.

It is indeed very lovely and cozy place. Small, full of pottery. Food is excellent. And the village itself is very adorable too, just like this place.

I did not have anything to eat at this establishment but I did have a cuppa. We were greeted as soon as we walked and had a good conversation with the owner. There was an array of cakes-all of which looked gorgeous. As we didn't have anything to eat I can not give this establishment a 5/5 but I can give it a 4/5 because of how welcomed I felt.

We've stopped for coffee or a light lunch several times. It's always welcoming, and the coffee and food is good and reasonably priced. We have occasionally found it a bit cold.

We decided to pay a visit, for an impromptu lunch break, and were really surprised at how nice and welcoming this wee place was.

A lovely little coffee shop with nice crafts in sale also. We had a traditional breakfast and a chicken tarragon open sandwich which was excellent. The toffee cheesecake was pretty good too! We will be back when in this area again

Una caffettiera gradevolissima una sosta consigliatissima.Caffè sandwich qualche pietanza veloce e qualche articolo di porcellana di artigianato davvero bello.Ma è l'atmosfera che merita...

Stopped there today with my brother and three kids coffee and tea were excellent served in a proper tea pot no less and cakes were brilliant as were the friendly staff don't pass you won't be disappointed

A nice place to stop for a good coffee or/and something to eat. It's a combination of a handmade pottery store and a small diner with loads of atmosphere, good food and friendliness... Well worth your stop!

Stopped off here with the little'un to warm her up after Cub Camp - lovely food, and very friendly staff!Although the menu is quite small, the food is reasonably priced and all sourced locally. We really enjoyed what we had and would definitely stop by again.Free wifi is appreciated, especially in an area of limited reception.There is a pottery shop attached to the cafe, and you can see what's going on through a small window at the back if you want to - you can buy the produce in the cafe too, and there are some really nice and unusual things too!Staff are really friendly and checked we were happy with everything - attentive, but not obtrusive. Overall the cafe gets it just right - well done, we will be back!

Dropped in to meet our daughter, had a baguette and a cake both of which were freshly made in the coffee shop and both of them were delicious.The pottery is very nice and there is a varied range of stock, well worth a look.

This really quaint little coffee shop is delightful. It is like stepping into someone home. for a very small place it has a good lunch menu and an excellent breakfast menu. The cakes are really yummy. There is an extensive display of beautiful pottery pieces which are good value and made on the premises. The staff are bright and cheerful and there is a good supply of newspapers to read while having coffee.

Loved it, totally recommend the place. We visited over the Glasgow September Weekend with friends and our teenage son. The food was lovely and tasty, what I also liked was all the pottery on sale, husband bought me one of the little chickens and a nessie as I just love little funky different pottery items that they had. Prices very reasonable, if in the area, give it a visit as we always try to support local independent business as much as possible

Dropped in here for breaky while in the area, the shop is full of pottery for sale and makes for a pleasant environment for tea..I had the full Scottish, but unfortunately the ran out of mushrooms and I do love a 'shroom. Otherwise a tasty breaky of bacon egg tomato baked beans potato (tatty) scones as well as toast and a pot of tea. As I said the atmosphere is good and you can pick up some fine pottery.

Was advised by a cst today to try the coffee kiln for a takeaway sandwich and I wasn't disappointed !!I had a chicken and bacon with tarragon mayo sandwich which was freshly made with lovely bread and salad and was very reasonable at £3.50!!staff were all very pleasant ,coffee looked nice but didn't try any!!worth a stop if your peckish

Located between the bustle of Stirling and Loc Lomond this unassuming coffee shop was a very nice lunch stop. Food and drink are reasonably priced and It has a very nice menu. Who would have thought you could get a wonderful Cajun Chicken sandwich in a small town in Scotland?
