Doyle's Cafe in Stirling

Ordered coronation chicken ciabatta and received numerous bits of uncooked raw chicken. Really disappointed as I paid £4.40 for it and couldn’t finish it as was put off straight away

Such sweet and amazing people! The food was delicious, the coffee was delicious and the service even better. Gave us great recommendations of things to do in Glasgow. Definitely recommend this place for sure.

Stopped by for a coffee while visiting the area. We sat outside with our dog, who was made to feel very welcome, and he enjoyed a sausage while we ate our delicious coffee and cakes! Everyone was very friendly, and we'll be back again soon.

We were having a wander through Balfron and popped in for a hot drink to while away some time. The mocha and hot choc we ordered hit the spot.

New to the village we were welcomed into Doyle’s by the most friendly staff. Food is delicious too! Everything is fresh and tasty and they’re really accommodating with specific diets. It’s the kind of place you can go to on your own, in couples and groups and families - and you’re welcome outside with your dogs who are also treated warmly as guests. I love it and have been several times and will continue to frequent this lovely place. The view outside is just wonderful while you drink your chosen beverage and eat one of their home made cakes!!! Don’t come to Balfron without visiting.

What a fantastic cafe We stopped for coffee and cake while out cycling and the service was brilliant A very impressive scone ( not the dry stick that many places have on offer) and a lovely coffee ☕️ We were given the friendliest welcome even after My coffee comment faux pas I will definitely return ( Nescafé cyclist 🚴🏽‍♀️ 🤣🤣🤣)

Was great and MUST be 100 chars... ok, er was a phone call, but I presume the food is as good as the phone service?

Friendly and charming staff. great food and service. We sat outside and enjoyed the amazing view ! 2 lunches came to a value for money £20. Nice and clean, can reccommend ,and we'll be back ! Parking outside.

Visited with a friend after an exhausting walk from Killearn, must just have been open a few weeks since the country has started to come out of lockdown. The best, friendliest and efficient service. Handling the Covid-19 restrictions like pros. A good example for every other hospitality business.

I've never had a disappointing experience at this place; the food is always fresh and it's coupled with a warm reception and nice atmosphere if you wish to sit in. I highly recommend!

Lovely ambience excellent service. We were out with friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it and would return very soon.

Visited here on Friday night for the pizza evening. The staff were very welcoming and the service was good however the pizza was the worst one I’ve ever had. The base was hard and it almost felt like I was eating cardboard. There was not enough tomato sauce or cheese on the pizza. We left feeling very ripped off. Will not be returning. The couple next to use had a check to make sure their food was ok however he did not ask us so felt as though we couldn’t say anything!

Four of us stopped here for lunch after playing golf at superb Balfron Golf club. The service was wonderful and our lunches were excellent. Great value for money. Free street car parking outside the Cafe. Very impressive wooden chairs and tables. Only negative, couldn’t lock the toilet door.

I've been going to this little place for lunch for years, it's great for locals and tourists and the staff are so kind. The food is always lovely; you can't beat their chicken tikka or bacon baguette. The bread they use is always fresh and delicious and the pizza and cakes are good too! Most of the surrounding areas have their own little establishments but I'm sure locals are jealous of Balfron for having Doyles.

We were staying in Balfron for a couple of days and stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. We were amazed at the quality of the food. We both had toasties and the coleslaw was to die for. We were disappointed to find the cafe closed on the Sunday. We were back again Monday where we had the same plus carrot cake this time. The owner was lovely and was the perfect gent. How they cook the quality of food in their tiny and I mean tiny kitchen dumbfounds me. We’ll be back again in October and this place will be top of the list for a visit. I would recommend this place to everyone, you couldn’t ask for a better lunch spot.

A group of us stayed a week in the Balfron area. We discovered Doyle's and it was an awesome place to go for breakfast! The owners were VERY personable and we had great visits with them when we stopped in. The breakfasts were very tasty and filling. Coffee and lattes were hot and full of flavor. We loved Doyle's and will recommend them to anyone that is traveling to that area!

This place provides great food for both locals and tourists alike. We arrived at breakfast and had a lovely meal of bacon, eggs and toast. Lots of other breakfast options as well including a full Scottish breakfast. They also have Pizza Fridays with stone oven cooked Pizza. There are cakes, scones etc. What's not to like? Nothing!

Lovely family meal on Friday night with Granddaughter Husband and baby to celebrate Granddaughters forthcoming Birthday.

Came in a few days ago with my wife to be for coffee and cake. I ordered a latte and she ordered a cappuccino, both were luke warm. Then the cake was so-so but a little stale. Bill did not reflect the goods!

Through the week a friendly meeting place for a tea or coffee, however on a Friday evening transforms itself into a fantastic pizza restaurant. Simple menu and wine list however the pizzas are quality and can be accompanied by a sensibly priced wine selection. Please do not tell anyone, otherwise I am just going to have to book even further ahead.

Excellent pizza, good quality food. Been a few times now and service very good, best book as gets very busy

Great coffee and staff. A regular for our family whether it’s rolls or coffee on the go, never disappoints.

Nuestro grupo fuimos caminando para nuestro café té de la mañana y a este café muy agradable en Balfron. Había un montón de nosotros y el personal se las arregló muy bien con nuestras muchas demandas. Me persaude tener las tortitas recién hechas con mantequilla y mermelada que eran deliciosas. Todos estábamos contentos con nuestras opciones.

Un colega y yo estábamos en nuestro camino a visitar a un cliente, así que pasó por aquí para un bocado rápido para comer y quedamos encantados, lo hicimos. Está muy bien decorado, con un montón de espacio, muy relajado y el menú parecía fantástico. Hacía frío y estaba húmedo fuera así que me fui para la sopa de brécol y no puedo hablar.

Mi pareja y yo estábamos disfrutando de un niño - Día libre, así que optamos por una larga mentira, un agradable paseo por Balfron, y una buena taza de café y un trozo de pastel de Doyle's. El café es limpio y acogedor, el personal es amable, el café es excelente, y el brownie es bastante especial. Ni mi pareja ni yo podríamos quejar. volveremos!

Yo vengo aquí mucho ya que es un gran lugar para reunirse con amigos para una comida o simplemente para relajarse con un café. Fácilmente accesible aunque consciente de que es un área bastante pequeña y acertada. El servicio es excelente y los chistes de jack añade el toque corona (me dijeron que decir eso) el viernes noche de pizza" evento es una ocasión bien conocido - por favor tenga en cuenta que debe reservar para esto - y se hará todo lo posible para usted. Su conocimiento de sus clientes y es legendaria - por ejemplo, si te quedas una palabra afligidos, diabetically tranquilo para el personal garantizará una "advertencia" para que 2 minutos puedes hacer lo que tienes que hacer antes de la comida!

Detenido en hoy para comer y me dijeron que estaban preparando para una función más tarde en el día, pero nos podíamos sentar en la ventana. . . .

Doyle's cafe is one of the best places for a pizza you can go all made to order by jack who is one of the nicest person you can meet we go if possible on a Friday night but remember if you want to eat in the cafe Friday night you have to book

Lovely homemade soup and fresh baked bread. Coffee was delicious. Would go back if I was in the area again.

It's a great little place in Balfron. Warm and cosy decor, appetising food and most importantly, nice and welcoming staff. Fantastic place for a stop on a cold winter morning on my business trip. Would definitely come back again.

Visited here on our way back from Loch Lomond and so so glad we did! Worth a stop would recommend the haggis mozzarella and sweet chilli panini - delicious!!!!

We Went to Doyle's for a family dinner is was stunning, the pizza is amazing , if you like thin crust then come here

We visted Doyles after visiting the fairy woodland experience in Balfron. The staff were welcoming, the cafe was clean as were the facilities. The menu was good, my daughter loved her sandwich with salad and mini tray bakes. The watercress soup was delicious causing my friend to ask for the receipe. The prices were very reasonable and would definitely make a return.

We went here today after visiting the fairy trail.The home made soup was really lovely. The kids sandwich platter was amazing. My omelette was really good and undercooked just like I asked.The panini my daughter had was lovely Cakes were also very good & very fresh.Would have loved some homemade coleslaw with our side salad though.But a great little cafe with 2 lovely ladies working in there.We will be back

Doyle's is a gem of a café, good for coffee, snacks or pizza on a Friday evening. The staff ate very friendly and service is good. They also have some deli & wine items for sale. This is one of the best cafés in Stirlingshire. Good range of vegetarian food and they also cater fir school children who want a healthier lunch, this can make the café seem busy but in no ay affects other customer enjoyment - apart from being amazed at how fast they serve the kids!

So glad we found this place, it's a gem! Noticed it as we drove through the village looking for some lunch, and it looked inviting so we went in. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the cafe was clean, tidy and modern, with a lot of thoughtful touches and good use of space. We were quickly invited to take a seat at a table of our choice, and given a menu. The lunch menu was good and varied, and we chose to have homemade soup and half paninis. The food arrived after a very short wait, and was beautifully presented, with a little salad, coleslaw and delicious crisps on the side. Portions were generous and it was all delicious. We ate the lot! We'd definitely go back again next time we're in the area. The homemade cakes on display on the counter looked yummy but sadly we didn't have room for cake (good excuse to go there again!).

Sweet little place with good food and friendly staff in the main road of Balfron. Shows the owner takes pride in his coffees - noticed Italian espresso, wines and even desserts. I'd Gladly return for scones and a good cappuccino.

Popped in here when I was cycling past. Had worked up quite a hunger so needed fed quickly! Staff were friendly dispite my outlandish and mud spattered lycra clad appearance. Ordered a coffee, a coke a toastie and a caramel shortcake. Despite being a bit busy, the food didn't take long and was tasty when it came. The chef gave me a good chat about cycling too. Recommended.

Only open for evening meal on Fridays - but worth waiting for. Reasonable prices - thin, tasty pizzas and good wine from deli stock.

Had great food in this gem of a place. Had a cooked breakfast that was delicious. Will definitely be back when in the area again.

We decided to eat here on Friday night for the pizza night. There is a good range of choices on the menu. When the pizzas arrived they were thin and crispy. The only downside was that there was a little too much cheese. Good value for money

My work colleagues and I came across this lovely rural cafe and decided to drop in for breakfast. The service was excellent and the waitress who served us was a credit to the the business. There was a slight mix up with the orders (which really didn't bother us at all) but the lovely waitress insisted that we have free pancakes and syrup as an apology!!! How could we possibly refuse!!!!Will be recommending this superb cafe to friends and family.

Had my Father staying so decided to try this Café after a friends recommendation.We both opted for a Panini each served with a side salad. I had a Italian and my Father a Cheese and Ham. Lovely big paninis arrived with a lovely fresh salad, a pot of coleslaw and crisps. We followed this with a coffee each and chose a lemon drizzle cake and a chocolate brownie. I was very impressed with the cakes and bought a selection to take home as I left.Needless to say neither of us needed much of an evening meal. I can see why this place came highly recommended, really nice to find a warm friendly atmosphere and such tasty food, including proper coffee. Real value for money.

takeaway food was half hearted and taste wasn't great. Very overpriced for amount of product. Wont be going back any time soon.

There's a lovely ambience in this rural cafe. I've always been welcomed on arrival. Doyle's is perfect for a light lunch or morning coffee but Friday night pizza is well worth a visit. Pizza's are made to order and are fresh and delicious, especially when washed down with an ice cold bottle of Peroni. Have been on many occasions and haven't ever been disappointed. Do try to avoid the mayhem that is school lunchtime. The kids pile in to buy baguettes, filled rolls etc but in fairness the bedlam is very short lived (approx 20 mins). There's also a deli with a selection of wines for sale.

Nice deli-cafe serving good quality coffee, breakfast rolls, snacks and lunches. relaxing when the weather is good and you can sit outside. pleasant staff and friendly service. avoid school lunch times as its very busy. Also supply good quality outside catering for the local golf club and the likes. Worth a visit.

Great wee coffee shop we'll run by owner who is friendly and focused on good service. Great for lunch and Friday night pizza is a wee treat

i am a regular user of doyles and cannot fault there great food great atmosphere great staff friendly also has great pizzas and 5 stars would go back again and reccomend to anyone.

Enjoyed our soup and sandwich lunch .Such a friendly place ,a great place to pop into.Hope to see you again soon

Very nice friendly cafe serving good coffee and various soup and sandwiches; also early Friday evening is pizza - sit in or take away (excellent). Jack and Joanne Doyle are lovely, and so are their staff. Well worth a visit, and more.

Doyle's is a good quality, friendly deli-cafe in picturesque Balfron (the views of the Campsies from the Main Street make them seem far more impressive than their modest height. The paninis and toastis are always fresh and good value but the best option for a light lunch are the cute wee pizzas.

very good food lovely staff friday night pizza & wine nights excellant but be sure to book as it is very popular their soups are something else worth a try

Don't get where these bad reviews are coming from, I've been to Doyle's a lot and never had an issue!For a start it's the only place within 10 miles you can get a decent coffee... but every single ingredient from the (home-made) bread, salads, pancakes etc is of the highest quality - a genuine unpretentious and high quality culinary experience!OK, it's a modest cafe, service is sometimes a little slow (but always pleasant), it is a little cramped, and you need to avoid lunch hour at the high school - but don't miss it! One complaint - no wifi and no O2 signal - so you can't read email on your iPhone when you're waiting for the coffee! What else can you do...? And, my wife doesn't like the toilet with a sliding door...

Briliant for brunch and catch up with wi Fi facility and Jack Jo always have fab banter. Home baking fab and will always do something off the menu if you don't fancy your usual .

Popped in again on my way home from Stirling for a bite to eat, waited a long time to be served and when the food arrived is was luke warm and bland. Coincidentally i was violently ill for 2 days following. I will not be back!!!!!

Great variety of lunchtime fare, quick and easy lunch, Large sub & coronation chicken salad, very satisfying.

Unfortunately service was extremely slow. Staff not communicating with each other, caused problem with original order. Food average. Altogether disappointing , and would not return.
