Edenmill Farm Shop, Cafe and Soft Play in Stirling

We know this place well for a start to walking the nearby reservoirs but have not eaten there We love the look of the cafe and the staff we're very helpful and friendly. We ordered a panini between two and they halved it and on separate plates with salad and coleslaw.Delicious We had to send out lattes back as not hot and we had asked for extra hot.The lady apologised and brought another two over which were hotter but not extra hot but we just kept them. The views are lovely and everything is very clean. Quite pricey but where isn't but food is from local suppliers and cooked on the spot. Discussing with friends ,one friend was meeting her friend today for lunch.There is a play area for kids which she loves and gives her time to chat.My other friend was there at the weekend for the same reason. Recommended.

Now becoming our place to go with the kids. 1.Service from the girls is always amazing - Thank You 2.Our kids love it 3. And we managed to get a deal on Itison for the Alpaca trekking No matter the weather, we just love you guys. Well done on all the changes

This place …. Where do I begin. The customer service, despicable. The food even worse. And don’t get me started on the lamas. THEY BIT ME AND THE WORKERS LAUGHED AND TOOK PHOTOS OF MY WOUNDS. I have never felt so ashamed of myself ever in my life. Hate this place I will never return

Very impressed and surprised as to this little gem in the countryside. 10 minutes from the hustle of Bearsden and you feel like your miles away. After a good long walk around Burncrooks, we enjoyed our afternoon Lunch in Edenmill. Relaxed, and very helpful staff who even assisted us with our flat battery in the car... Service thats gone well over and above.

We took our kids to see the animals at Edenmill, not booked in may I add. But a huge THANK YOU for fitting us in today. We got to see and feed the animals with outr little girls who where delighted, OVER THE MOON. We had such an amazing day at Edenmill. Had lunch, and a play in the soft play also. This area is crying out for this, and being our first time out. Will sure to be back. Thank you so much for a great day everyone

Visited recently for a birthday party and found the food, service in the Cafe was top notch. While the kids had a ball in the party, we decided to stay for Lunch. Glad we did as the place had such a buzz, and very pleasant atmosphere.

My goodness what an improvement in the service over the last couple of weeks with the new manager in charge Gerry. Long may it continue!

Always a warm welcome after our long wintry dog walk. Love the changes in the cafe. Looks great - a breath of fresh air - and the cakes are fab too! Would recommend for a visit after taking in the amazing views close by. Cosy log burner a welcome site.

After a hike to The Whangie, we visited Edenhill for lunch refuelling stop before going for round two. Set in the dramatic scenery of Kilpatrick Hills, the place has great views, although it was too cold to sit outside. The indoor seating area has large windows where you can still enjoy the views. The outdoor area has a small play area which I'm guessing would be fantastic for children in the summer. The interior is tastefully decorated and quite a homely shaded of faded blue. Everywhere in the dining area looked really clean despite the number of hikers who must pass through. They even have a real fireplace where there was a log fire. The menu has a good selection of options for vegetarians and meat eaters. As we were going to hike in The Whangie again, we only wanted some light items. We went for the Minestrone Soup, the Veggie Sausage Roll, a couple of coffees. I had a little of the soup. It was good homemade soup. The sausage roll was excellent. Instead of meat or veggie meat, it was filled with mushrooms, leek and cauliflower, but compacted nicely together into a proper British sausage roll pastry. For dessert, the selection of cakes weren't really to my tastes, although I still got a Pecan Flapjack. The staff were friendly throughout and I think Edenhill is ideal for families and as a stop for hiking in Kilpatrick Hills.

Lovely friendly staff. The log burner is just lovely at this time of year. Food was lovely and portions more than ample. We opted for the egg mayo sandwich on brown bread. This was delicious and crammed with filling. My companion had the macaroni cheese and said this was also delicious. Only down side it is very small, we arrived about 2pm on a Sunday and the place was almost full. Reasonably priced menu. Will definitely go back.

Arrived at 18:10 for my half past 6 experience (as we were asked to do on the website) to be greeted by a lady in high vis who said we were too early and that we would have to wait in our car. At 18:30 we went back over to the lady who checked us in but didn't us much information about what we were going to do. We were given a piece of paper for the scavenger hunt but no pen as they said they'd run out. My wee one was excited to spot the objects and was really disappointed when we could only find 2. We walked along a short path through some Christmas trees and were disappointed not to meet any more members of staff or elves along the way. Santa's grotto was...lets just say tired looking, we waited outside for 10 minutes to then be greeted by Mrs Clause, during the time in Santa's grotto my wee one had a grand total of 4 minutes with Santa and was told he could pick from a range of 4 toys. Santa's dog was on Santa's seat so we didn't have a chance to get a photo with him sitting down. Thankfully we're not afraid of dogs but felt i was unnecessary to have the dog in the grotto. My son was then offered a selfie with Santa and then we were asked to leave. His gift was a little magic set and the wand inside was broken - it seemed very cheap and poor quality for the £22.50 we paid for a child's ticket. Next was the animals and i can only presume they were tired after being fed all day as they had no interest in coming over (i realise you can't guarantee anything with animals). We went down and met another staff member in high vis selling marshmallows and animal feed and we thought we'd see if we could attract them over however this didn't work either. We went to toast marshmallows but couldn't because the fire was pretty much out - we tried for a while but had to give up and just eat them untoasted. Animal feed and marshmallows were £7 extra - quite steep for 2 marshmallows on a stick. I tried to cheer my son up by telling him the next stop was decorating an ornament but when we got there there were none left in the workshop - the tables were all drawn over and pens all over the place but no decorations - the whole place was very dingy looking and just two slumped toy elves watching over proceedings - a staff member in here would've really made a difference. I was shocked to realise this was this was the experience over - we were heading back to our car not even 30 mins later. The two members of staff we saw weren't dressed in any Christmas outifts and were seriously lacking in Christmas cheer. We were not directed to any hot food or face painting as promised on the website and from what I could see everything was closed up. I'm not sure why you would have a 18:30 slot sold if you weren't offering the same as you offer to your customers in the middle of the day. I definitely won't be returning here next year as for the amount of money I paid I expected a far better experience. Really let down by this and now have to find another Santa visit to get some real Christmas cheer for my son.

What an experience we had at Edenmill. We arrived (6 of us) to get our annual Christmas Tree, and event in itself and was totally blown away with the vast range of trees on sale, and thanks to the lovely gent who had the banter too. We ended up buying 2 lovely trees........ Then over to the busy cafe, and ordered a round of toasties and soup for us all. After spending a morning at Edenmill, I truly recommend for a stop off. And to make it even more special, we had the snow. Thank you and Merry Christmas

Had a brilliant visit to Eden Mill. We wanted to get a real tree for the first time and picked Eden Mill as we'd heard good things. We had some lunch while we were there. It was very busy but the staff were great and very friendly and helpful and the food was lovely. All in all a great visit and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful place great food and lovely staff.lunch was lovely great portions and very tasty Looking forward to our next visit

Came for the day to choose and cut down two Christmas trees which was great, the guys, Ben and Findlay were really helpful. Went to cafe, admittedly very busy however waited so long for food that the trees had the chance to grow back in the field. A little frustrating in that orders were leaving the kitchen randomly. Top tip, don’t sit next to the door to outside area. Nice idea, shame about the execution.

Went to see Santa today which was great, Santa and Mrs Clause were 10/10. The cafe on the other hand was shocking with poor service. Waited nearly and hour for two soups and a plate of chips. Not ideal trying to entertain a young child for this length of time. Soup arrived cold. When pointing this out to the rather rude lady on the till she offered no apology, simply saying they were busy. Stating there is a 20 min wait (which we were happy with as they were busy) then leave folks waiting nearly and hour is outrageous. Got my money back and went to the drive through cafe just down the road which was excellent. Not sure I would return even to see Santa purely based on the rude and unprofessional lady on the till in the cafe which is a real shame.

After such a lovely experience seeing Santa (which I would give 5 stars!) We went for some lunch. Ordered 2 soups and a portion of chips. Was told it would be a 20minute wait we could see they were busy and said that was fine. We waited 45 minutes and were eventually served cold soup. Took it back to the till, the lady was quite rude saying if you want your money back you’ll need to bring the chips up now before I refund you…. No apology. People around us were all waiting a long time as well. Such a shame after a lovely day seeing Santa. Went to the st mocha drive thru down the road. Go and see Santa but avoid the cafe.

Tree cutting was good, but the service in the cafe is so horrible, have been waiting about hour for 2 soups, a panini and pizza. I get you might be quite busy but that is horrendous for us waiting an hour just for lunch 🤨

Lovely afternoon with my Son, took Raven 🐶 for a nice walk, had an amazing lunch, the staff at Edenmill Cafe were fantastic and friendly, we had a very positive experience ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, would highly recommend…. And Dan the Christmas tree man…you handle the 🚜...

Went for the soft play on route to parents. Very rough and ready… freezing. Soft play is pretty much just squares of dirty taped together padding. Its a small area too at the back end of the building very far away from the warmer and...

Deeply disappointed. When we arrived my friend accidentally clipped a silly metal post box that was at the door with her pram. She immediately apologised and picked it up. She then had a bit of a fumble moment with an empty coffee cup . The...

Stopped here on way back from walk. Mid afternoon. Truly awful food - missing ingredients - Cullen skink was a bowl of undercooked leeks in cream - no fish made it to my portion - disappointing. It was a long day so couldn’t be bothered...

Went for petting zoo experience which I had booked in advance. I was very late and flustered. Staff were so lovely and helpful, fitting me in to a later slot. Food was lovely, service was fab and I could not have asked for more. Would...

Very much off the beaten track, this was a lovely morning spent with family visiting us from the Scottish Borders. LOCATION - north of Bearsden and Milngavie, cross the roundabout intersecting Stockiemuir Road and Craigdhu Road (BP garage on other side). Continue north up the...

Visited last week with the intention of having coffee and scones. The car park had quite a few cars but cafe was very quiet for mid morning. It was a bad start when the two ladies behind the counter insisted on finishing their conversation before...

Previous reviews are quite harsh. Thought staff were friendly and cafe looked very inviting. Lovely setting, clean with fresh flowers on table. Quite expensive but they are in the middle of nowhere so to be expected. Had Cappuccino and Cheese Toastie. Farm shop looked very...

Asked if they had soup and a sandwich on a deal? I was told yes. Well it wasnt. The deal was actually full priced jtems added together. The soup given child's portion if you have the toastie. It's double for an adult portion and the...

Difficult to find, disappointing and expensive. Difficult to find up a potholed private road. Plenty of parking. The cafe was empty which is never a good sign. Limited menu and all expensive. Quantity average. Staff not that friendly. No cutlery etc. Nothing would really make...

So we decided to go a drive to edenmill today as a wee treat, it literally took us 40 minutes to get there from Glasgow city centre, because the rain was so intense! We googled the opening times to make sure we'd be okay and...

We really enjoyed a nice day here with lots for the kids to do. Soft play, kids play area , small buggies. The food was top class and all local produce is used in the recipes. Prices were not too bad and there is a...

We called in for coffee and a cake prior to a walk in the surrounding area.Nice large indoor cafe and shop with an outside eating area and children's play area. We ordered extra hot lattes and a cake.Cofee was not hot enough however staff quickly...

My husband and I visited Eden mill (Thursday 16 June) after it being recommended to us by friends. We had a lovely lunch served by lovely staff, the food was excellent and the cafe was lovely, surrounded by countryside it’s a great place to escape...

Been to edenmill a few times now and have always found it quite average. It’s a nice cafe and has beautiful scenic views of Scotland. It’s relatively clean and a good place for families. However we ordered scones and found them to be very average....

My friend and I popped in after having been for a lovely walk right by the cafe and farm shop itself. We were welcomed by two young girls whom were very lovely and attentive towards us. The food was excellent and the cafe itself was...

Went for breakfast today (17th May) waited 35 mins at least for breakfast for the scrambled egg to be made in a microwave, which I didn’t eat. My partners poached eggs were mediocre. The girl told us our ticket had been lost in the kitchen??...

This was our second year at Eden Mill for the Santa Experience and we had a fantastic time. The kids ranging in age from 6-12 years thoroughly enjoyed the scavenger hunt, the amazing decorations and looking at the animals. Mr & Mrs Claus were outstanding...

I took my daughter to the drive thru Santa experience and was quite disappointed. I had expected the experience to last for an hour (as per the website and confirmation email) but it only lasted 20 mins. The website said the experience would include an...

My daughter and I took my two grandchildren to the ‘North Pole’ , this is our second year , last year was fabulous this year they have gone above and beyond to create a magical experience for all ,the detail and preparation is obvious and...

More than a cafe! Great breakfasts and the decaf coffee up there with the best ( a good test of quality imo) and dishes feature local produce - all good.

20 mins to wait for the car park, 70 mins to wait for a cold burger and under cooked chips followed by a pathetic fire work display ( 3 boxes and less than 6 rockets). Everyone complaining but no management around to support. Another example...

Had the pleasure of gigging at the Edenmill beer festival with the Statesboro Blues Band. Just out past the Carbeth Inn on the road to Aberfoyle is this fab little gem. A great place for a family day out. Lots of indoor and outdoor play...

Good menu choices Good food Friendly staff Terrible srrvice We arrived and there was a queue to order and only one poor girl taking orders serving food taking money and clearing tanles There were another three outside at the bar laughing and joking

My daughters and I went trekking with alpacas- Tim, Steve and Logie 😂 Caitlin guided us round a lovely walk with views over to Dumgoyne. She was really knowledgeable and friendly. We then had lunch in the cafe and girls had great fun in the...

Dropped to by chance, excellent service by very welcoming and helpful staff, and the food was also good,very smart and clean promises, good play area for kids. Excellent care erc,

Had a wonderful Saturday morning as three adults doing the alpaca trekking. Leader was extremely knowledgebale and answered all of our many questions about the lovely alpacas. Could tell the animals are well cared for and in good hands. The walk itself isn't too long...

We dropped in here whilst out in the car, as we don’t like the nearby, much hyped alternative. Service was quick, polite and friendly and prices were more than reasonable. £12.80 for 2 coffees (which were delicious) and 4 cakes (which were equally delicious 😋)....

Just home from Edenmill Santa Drive through. I have to say it was fantastic and 100 percent worth the visit. My two sons 3 and 6 couldn’t believe their eyes when Mrs Clause came out to our car to talk to them first then round...

Went here today for lunch. Waitresses were friendly enough and food was average, although portions on the small side for what you were paying. My main issues were with the implementation of COVID regulations. Initially put at a table surrounded very closely by large tables...

Stopped for a morning coffee on our way into Glasgow. Quite a way off the road, but looked good from an initial impression. When we arrived, we waited at a table to be seated. And waited. And waited. We were studiously ignored by the waitress...

Family with young children like this place. When we visited the choice of items to go with tea and coffee very limited.

Hi. I find Edenmill a nice place for a snack. Staff are always efficient and pleasant. Inside and outside facilities

Would have been a 4 star for coffee and cakes. After soft play thought I would just grab a can of sprite. Just stood waiting and no acknowledged at all. While the girl was making a coffee a simple "be with you shortly" or one...

Stopped in only having seen a road sign for it when on the way to the airport with a couple of hours to waste on a rainy February day at the end of our family break. So glad we stopped by. Good coffee for the...

We hosted our sons birthday party last weekend which went extremely well and I would highly recommend you considerEdenmill Farm Shop, Cafe and Soft Play as a venue for any parties, celebrations or events you may be planning, We were very well looked after by...

After an extensive update Edenmill Farm Shop, Cafeteria and Soft Play has made impressive improvements to what was an already excellent offering. The improvements are to the facilities as the product offerings remain if the highest quality both in cafeteria and especially the farm shop...

Really, really, REALLY expensive. Had lunch with my family here, the service was fine but everything purchased was extremely overpriced. I’ll not be back here again.

Wonderful butcher and worth the visit for that alone. Excellent Steak Pies. Very expensive play area for children. Similar price to Dobbies. Glendoig provide a smaller version free of charge. Food was very nice and not too expensive. Staff very helpful.

Very good for pre schoolers warm and comfortable not too big easy to keep an eye on all younger children

An unexpected delightful lunch with gorgeous scenery and very friendly staff. Had the cullen skink and the chef even wrote the recipe out because I asked how it was made.

What a great find. This farm has been turned into a fantastic place to eat. Excellent menu for choice for all tastes. Food was lovely and fresh Great outdoor space for your children to play. Service fast efficient and friendly. Nothing too much if asked...

We visited with a group to get inspired about what you can do in the countryside with food and adventure. And I must say that it's a great role model in the business.

Visited on a rainy Sunday, fairly busy but staff friendly and welcoming. Had the special which was a full roast. Worth waiting for. Pricing very reasonable. Be aware as a family place it can be a little loud when full of children but everything else...

I visited Edenmill, not once but 3 times last week, with 2 small children in tow! The staff were amazingly helpful and understanding. nothing was too much trouble, the kids loved it. The help I received with the kids was much appreciated, especially as the...

I have just arrived home from having a delightful day with my family here and felt I had to post this for others to enjoy a day out. Firstly the food is amazing and what made our lunch special was the service from the 2...

This is a favourite local haunt of ours. Service is always first class, staff are very friendly. Food is of decent quality. Recent investment in the outdoor seating area is very welcome. Watch out for the BBQ afternoons. They are not to be missed.

We had our young family down to stay so decided to go for lunch and let the little ones wear themselves out which was ok. Sandwiches ordered for all,well made and presented bit expensive though,but whilst enjoying the food noticed the next bite was not...

We were here today for my littles girls 3rd birthday party. It was excellent from start to finish! The girls were amazing and couldn’t do enough to help and make sure everything went smoothly to ensure she had a great. Everyone who was there commented...

Had an early dinner here - great quality food - lovely burger, chips, cake. The room is really nicely done and the farm shop stuff looked lovely. But staff seemed quite disinterested. Had to ask for a menu (the food menu was hidden away), then...

Popped in while passing, saw the signs. We ordered lunch before we realised we had entered a crèche! The meal was expensive £25 for two fish burgers and a drink and it was crazy and noisy. Might be ideal for deaf parents but not for...

Not enough tables in soft play for eating. Long wait for food. Service poor. Staff on server were not in the least welcoming or friendly. Seemed like a bother to them. Never saw anyone smile which is the overall lasting impression we had, as we...

Its scary.. we enjoy our visits to the dentist as it means we go past Edenmill and drop in fot brunch or if we are running late, lunch. Either way food is good and service has improved hence the 5 star rating. Excellent.

The Villagers and I were here at the weekend-our first since reopening. Gone is the hard floor in the softplay and the butcher counter now sits within the cafe area which has great outdoor seating too. The old butcher space is now a hire space...

Amazing softplay and cafe. We have been going since they recently reopened. They do a lovely toddler morning a few times a week and parents can enjoy a lovely breakfast while the kids play. We recently won a free visit on Facebook and it was...

We have been to edenmill quite a few times now. More often than not for 'soft play area' but my husband and I also go just the 2 of us in the main cafe. Excellent in both areas. Food good. Only concern having been there...

We visited Edenmill Cafe in December and we thought it was Top Drawer, we slipped in last week Incognito and sampled the best Food I have experienced in a long time. It had just been announced they won the best new cafe, well, you know...

Heard this had reopened and wanted to try it out. Really outstanding food and reasonably priced. Childrens meals really good quality which is rare, almost had plate envy until my own arrived. I had the special, roast salmon salad - it was beautifully cooked and...

I visited here with kids,gran and auntie after school. The kids had the £5 play and eat deal and I had chips. All I can say is there have been massive improvements made to this place. The tearoom is now warm, homely and welcoming and...

Stopped today for lunch at Edenmill Cafe and enjoyed delicious homemade soup and fresh sandwiches. The coffee was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

This is the second time I have had lunch in this café within the last couple of weeks, and it is likely to become one of my favourite places to eat locally. It's a wee bit off the beaten track, being a few miles out...

We had a fabulous morning at Edenmill yesterday. It’s our second visit. Well worth travelling from Glasgow for beautiful surroundings, great food, welcoming staff and a clean soft play 👍🏼

Dropped in for a sport of brunch today... Food and drink cannot be faulted. Staff were a tad lackadaisical too many behind the counter and not concentrating on the customers (talking) but did eventually come over to take our order and apologised for the delay....

Had lunch in cafe here last week and it was delicious. Bright and airy and the service was efficient and friendly. Visited soft play twice over the last 2 weeks and both times I have been frozen and had to sit with my coat and...

We were told by friends that the Eden Mill was reopened and looked to be people who cared running it . We went for soup and sandwiches last week .It is slightly confused on entry as to, it is self service or counter service and...

When this Farmshop first opened over a year ago this reviewer visited if with my wife. On that particular occasion it was newly opened and were lacking staff. The Spanish Waiter /Cook was on sole charge.I helped clear some tables and being a Graduate of...

Had a fabulous time today with the 2for1 softplay session. The school holiday made it busier than usual but this had no impact on service. No table service in the softplay area but the member of staff who was there until the end (sorry I...

my partner and i took our little girl here for lunch on a saturday, now i must admit when we looked at the menu we weren't impressed as there's not a lot of choice.... but we went ahead and ordered, i got mac n cheese...

Very disappointing. Coffee served cold. Told it was Table service so took a seat only to see counter service in operation. No leadership in view. Seemed disorganised.

The cafe and soft play area have been completely re vamped and now it’s a fun place to visit with younger children and enjoy a good coffee and home baking or lunch. As the soft play is not very large I would recommend this for...

Like other recent reviewers have mentioned , ignore the old reviews as Edenmill had just been completely revamped and reopened. The cafè/ restaurant is bright and airy, and even on a midweek visit, had a steady stream of visitors. The food was excellent and the...

Edenmill has just reopened at the start of December 2018. With a completely revamped Restaurant this place is sure to become thee place in the area for Breakfast,Lunch and Afternoon Tea. I tried it today and was very very impressed. First sign of a good...

Great news that the Edenmill Farm has been taken back over and recently reopened by the original owners. The butcher meat they supplied was always the best especially the steak pies. Great to see they have even brought back the original butcher they had too....

On behalf of the Cumbernauld & Kilsyth Ramblers I would like to say a very big thank you to Sylvia and all the staff who made us most welcome when we stopped there yesterday on our walk from the Whangie to Strathblane. The best lentil...

We were lucky enough to visit the newly renovated Edenmill before the official opening. A great deal of thought and effort has been put into the revamp of the venue, the coffee shop has been refreshed with a fab menu with fresh, local produce. The...

I've never experienced such poor standards of service in a hospitality outlet. If you like a totally disinterested welcome from staff that would rather be somewhere else, chipped crockery, filthy tables and to top it all loud music playing on the radio.... This is the...

First visit and i almost wish it could go in and take over the management. This place could be a gold mine. It's got huge potential but it looks like they just don't care. The staff was rediculously slow the kids party food that is...

I have reviewed before and gave it 4. After that visit I continued to go and recommend the place to friends with children. Each time I went the worse it became. I liked it because it was empty and my son could enjoy the soft...

Sorry to be negative But this place is probably the worst cafe / softplay we have ever visited Arrived with family after long walk on JMW Car park mostly empty - thought that is a surprise Then the realism hit while entering the cafe -...

Visited today and all I can say is the place is in Total disarray- no steak, no buns for rolls a or a burger. Working off one menu for the entire cafe. Two servers under 18 working behind the counter who had no idea what...

Been visiting here for 6 months now with hubby n kids. I honestly don't think will be back. The soft play is always quiet compared to city centre ones an d with having a child with disability this is ideal. But today he was dying...
