It's your truthful reviewer again - I read that their ''soup is brilliant" & "soup is amazing" SO i was itching to check that out. So in i went & opted for their broccoli 🥦 soup & the only amazing thing about it was that it was served up piping 🔥 & it wasn't at all dear either - maybe thats because it was watery & could have been drunk out of a mug. Having finished the broccoli soup, i said to myself i will try their mushroom 🍄 soup - piping hot 🔥 as well 10/10 BUT still watery, but both soups were tasty enough. I've had soup like that b4, but can't recall where, & it was much thicker. Some might like it that way & if it was too thick it could also be watered down with some hot 🔥 water. At least i was able to educate myself on the pictures of the sign language that were on display 👍

The Forth Valley Sensory Centre is a fabulous place for all people to visit for a wee cup of tea and Scone. I've tried David soup and Carol cakes, all of which are brilliant. The Centre has so much to offer to people living in our community and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend a visit. The staff are second to none.

I go here for work and everyone working there is absolutely lovely and helpful, they do an amazing job.

nice garden , meeting rooms and i recommend the tikki cafe for some good food and refreshments in a relaxing atmosphere.

Very good place to visit, Cafe is open to all

Best place for tae and coffee in Falkirk staff are lovely food is great price are best you will find

Had a gr8 wee lunch here staff were very attentive and soup with sandwich was amazing cakes looked good as well and lovely coffee

this sensory centre is an amazing place, it offers a lot of help for those who have sensory issues i.e blind and deaf. I visited back in March for their afternoon tea for a few coffees and biscuits. Afterwards i decided to pop around the cafe for another coffee and i have to say the service was outstanding, the lady running the cafe was very kind and was able to answers any questions i had about the food provided. I noticed that the cafe was very clean and very accessible for those with disabilities such as vision loss because the entry is right next to the main doors of the centre itself. I have since visited the cafe and centre and have not had a single complaint to make since, always a lovely quick bite to eat. However, i did notice that another review stated about alcoholic drinks and i would like to say that due to this being a charity for those with sensory loss, i do not think that the centre provides that sort of thing especially due to there being a drug/alcohol abuse program within the centre (just wanted to clear up any false information as i wouldn’t like to have anyone come here expecting there to be alcohol served). Overall, i really annoy visiting as often as i can and can only put a good word forward for both the centre and the cafe. I hope everyone who visits here has as much of a splendid time as i do :).

I go here every week to attend groups and use sensory room once a week . Finding this centre has helped me SO much .

A few days ago me and my family went for an afternoon tea for 4 with cocktails. Staff were very nice but the food was awful - sandwiches were stale, looked like been left out for hours, the cakes were clearly bought from somewhere like tescos and the cocktails were fine but more like mocktails. I could have made it much much better from home and for not even a quarter of the price, very disappointing, I would be embarrassed to serve that to someone. Definitely won’t be returning

Good cafe and pleasant surrounding.

Fabulous and friendly service by Carol and Tom. David's soup changes on a daily basis and is wonderful. Had the chicken and bacon club for lunch today, this could well become my new favourite. The homemade carrot cake was so moist and delicious.

Reception staff very friendly, good clean facilities

Sensory centre's cafe is open to the public..great coffee , food & servive

Great place to go.and the garden is a lovely spot to sit

Not what I expected..well worth a visit..Cafe open to the public..nice coffee and fresh baking every day.

A busy centre, with a youth club, Gaming Group and plenty of other groups and societies. Also has a cafe!

Came in with my daughter to get her baby's jags & visited the cafe, had the breakfast which was delicious & then couldn't resist the home baked carrot cake & scones. Definitely will come back , Carol was very friendly & helpful

Great place for a coffee and sandwich friendly staff.

Wonderful & friendly place. Great open day

Excellent breakfast tea, nice homemade soup, good bacon butties,what more can you ask for,nice friendly little cafe.

I think the kitchen staff were well out of there nut all I could smell was cigarette smoke and alcohol when I walked by I was hummin of fag reek

Food is really lovely and good value for money and the lady is always nice and pleasent I go every Tuesday for my lunch

Delicious soups & hot snacks/meals at reasonable prices. Something for everyone. A good range of hot & cold drinks together with home baking makes it well worth a visit.

extremely good service, would highly recommend and will be returning in the near future for sure!! :)

Was a great meal and the stuff couldn’t get much nicer, recommend to anyone who is interested in going and will definitely be back

the cafe was recommended to me by my father and when me and my friends went to the cafeteria for lunch and the service was satisfactory and the food i received was up to high standard, would definitely go again.

I really enjoyed the food and definitely would recommend, I will be a returning customer in the near future :)

Excellent value fresh soup lovely staff quick service, would recommend to family and friends very helpful staff found me a seat when the cafe was extremely busy will be back.

The cafe in the restaurant was recommended to us and we recently went there for lunch. We ordered toasties and I was disappointed when it was served/it was whole meal bread which would not have been my choice. I wrongly assumed it would be white bread,, We were not asked when ordering what bread we wanted when ordering. The lady serving was very abrupt and when my husband who suffers from Parkinson’s Disease had a problem getting out of his chair as it was a bit low she remarked that ‘old age does not come itself ! Considering this is a Sensory Centre her remarks were very hurtful. Would definitely not recommend and I would not go back.

Its a great place friendly folk

Sensory room good cafe food more expensive than expected for cafe used by many with special needs

The shop does need to be staffed during opening hours.

Been going here for 2 years and good cafe and friendly staff!

Very pleasant time with friendly staff, good coffee and good selection of eats.

Good place for meeting people on edge of the fakirk town

Peaceful and relaxing garden, great wee café with healthy home made food. A wee hidden sanctuary amongst the hustle and bustle of daily life

The staff in the cafe were very helpful.

A community in the centre including the coffee shop.

Great cafe, have my lunch there nearly every week! Staff very kind & helpful, soup is amazing and my sister bakes delicious cakes! Also a great place to enjoy your lunch in pleasent surroundings!

Good facilities for meetings, very good freshly prepared food, nothing fancy, but tasty, especially the home made coleslaw and salads

Wonderful and helpful staff. My son benefits from all their advice

Nice wee cafe, decent prices, friendly workers nice food mostly cooked by an amazing blind guy. Minestrone Soup was amazing

Went to deaf club on Friday night talking to people

An ideal place for a meeting small or the likes. I would check on the capacities they can entertain. Is a charity and makes a great effort to make you feel welcome. The have various groups for people with disabilities but you do not have to have one to join.

Not far from the main Camelon Road but still quiet and relaxed. Good function rooms though sometimes soundproofing through the flexible partition walls is a bit lacking. Nice little meditation garden. Loads of parking.

Nothing to keep the children amused
