HBW Coffee in Stirling

So glad we came across this cafe, I popped in with my 3 children last week while on a trip to Stirling, food was absolutely amazing ! And they can make coffee too! ☕️. Wish I lived nearer guys, because I'd definitely be back. 2 of my children had pancakes, one with blueberries and one had bacon and scrambled egg,they absolutely loved them. Me and my daughter had BLTs, again the best blt I've ever had, lovely food, thank you !

You can't take ten steps in Stirling without bumping into a coffee shop, but HBW Coffee towers above them all in terms of quality, service, and atmosphere. The bar is staffed by friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable baristas capable of steaming your choice of milk to silky perfection. The espresso is consistently well-brewed, showcasing their understanding of the importance of regularly calibrating both the grinder and the espresso machine. Finding a good cup of filter coffee is rare; finding a great one is even rarer. HBW regularly has a perfectly brewed pot on the go, showcasing just how juicy coffee can be. I haven't even mentioned the food yet. I can't think of anywhere else in the area I would recommend more highly for breakfast or brunch. I always leave HBW feeling like I should have paid more. The quality is consistently outstanding, and the way different flavors are combined into each dish demonstrates a real appreciation for the experience of taste. HBW has raised the bar for Stirling, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Horribly slow service. It took us over half an hour to get our order taken and then we ended up being there over an hour in total. The table next to us was dirty and was not cleaned the entire hour that we were there. We were in a rush and looking for a quick bite and coffee. This place has great reviews so I’m not sure what happened. The food and the coffee were just okay. I was also a bit weirded out by the fact that there was green stuff growing on the cork that was used in the water carafe.

Regularly like to eat here as the food and staff are great, with plenty of vegan options to choose from with the cakes and coffee great too

Who knew pomegranate with crispy bacon & scrambled egg could be so tasty! Fantastic portion sizes and absolutely delicious. Nothing too much bother.

Top class coffee and amazing food every time. Love the staff and vibe. All food can be done vegan and the options are delicious

Popped in for a bite to eat and was placed in between two other tables very close together without much space. I asked the waitress if we could shift over to another table for a bit more space and she rudely said no! Even though there were other free tables available. Not how customers should be treated and unfortunately they have lost me as a customer.

Cool place with a very relaxed vibe. Prompt and polite service. Great tasting coffee and tasty jam doughnut! Just what we needed to escape the howling wind and rain!

The main reason we went here was to see if it lived up to its exceptional review status( ALL Excellent) and it did not disappoint. Ceilidh (spelled just like the dance) was a great waitress and explained some of the dishes, we opted for pancakes which were light, fluffy, and delicious. Looking forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Absolutely love this place - I really cannot recommend it enough. We’ve visited about five times at least now and it is by far my favourite place to go in Stirling. Comfortable, great coffee and cakes, the food is so good (brilliant vegan options) and the staff are always an absolute delight, even when they are really busy. If you’re in Stirling and are looking for breakfast or lunch, this is the place to go.

Excellent coffee and food. The milk was nicely textured with a lovely shot of espresso. The breakfast we ordered was full of flavour and nicely presented. A new favourite in Stirling

Visted well before Covid. Lovely to see it’s been renovated and feels welcoming and warm! Staff are friendly and attentive, they also seeked feedback on one of their cakes which is nice to see as they value their customers! Cakes are a must!

Amazing!!!!! I had seen this place in a list of the best food places in Stirling and as they could offer lots of dairy free options. I had the veggie haggis and avocado burger, the kimchi in it was delicious. The star of the show though was the pancakes and bacon with scrambled tofu - my wife was amazed at how light and fluffy the pancakes were that she repeatedly checked with myself and the owner that they were in fact dairy free! If we lived closer this would be a regular haunt for us.

Best Vegan place going! Amazing food and always great service. So glad the Burrito is back on the menu 🤣. Never disappoints.

Hidden gem just off the main shopping area. Well worth the extra walk. Excellent food, really lovely staff, and dog friendly. Will definitely recommend!

We had lunch today, and I can honestly say, its the best vegan lunch I've ever had. We're staying in Stirling for one night, so will be returning there for breakfast in the morning! Lovely staff and cool wee cafe.

Amazing experience! A very wide menu, all vegan. The food was very good. Staff super kind and very fast service. Prices aren’t low, but the food is worth the price.

Brilliant selection of savoury vegan dishes available. We had tofu scramble in toast and mushrooms on toast, both were excellent. We didn’t try the cakes this time (mostly vegan) but they looked good. It may become our default stop when heading north!

A great cafe in Stirling. Good vibe. Delicious brunch. Menu excellent - all 3 of us really enjoyed our choices. Mushrooms on toast with avocado and roast tomatoes 👍

What a wee gem of a place, I wanted everything on the menu! Had the sourdough toast with spicy beans... absolutely stunning. Dog friendly too, customers chatting to each other because of their dogs made for a lovely vibe. Well deserved 5 star rating, staff so helpful & welcoming

No ordinary cafe this! We popped inside on a bitterly cold day, together with our spaniel dog, who was made as welcome as we were. Tables were busy - always a good sign - but the owners managed to find a space for us and...

Fabulous! Stopped off for brunch. Between us we had pancakes and i had mushrooms with avo and tomatoes. It was so yummy, and freshly prepared. Well done guys! Top quality.

OMG, by far one of the best lunches I have EVER had 😋... I'm not vegan but enjoy vegan food and this meal was stunning! The flavours were amazing and I can't wait to go back. Also the presentation is gorgeous and the staff couldn't...

Lovely coffee, but even better food. Staff were lovely and seemed very accommodating to requests. We both had the scrambled tofu and seitan on toast and it was beyond our expectations. An absolute gem.

Day trip to Stirling. Due to food allergies always try to find somewhere that can offer a plant based option, this cafe does much more than that! Brunch Pancakes delicious and big selection of home made cakes and pastries. Staff are excellent and really friendly....

So glad my fave spot in Stirling has reopened. Lovely staff and great services as always and delicious veggie food. Already regretting not getting a donut to go ... Totally recommend

Lovely food, coffee and the most friendly staff! Such a welcoming environment and provide top tier service every time, would highly recommend

Every time I’ve been to HBW I’ve had such amazing service & the best coffee and food. There’s so many vegan options for food & sweet treats & the staff are fantastic.

We stopped here with friends halfway through a mammoth drive from Inverness to London. We were greeted with friendly, prompt service and amazing food! All vegan and made in house, and very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend to any travelers going north or south looking...

HBW is so great for vegan food and cakes!! Everything I've tried has been amazing. A must visit if in Stirling for vegans and non vegans alike!! Staff are always so lovely and friendly too. Also pups are allowed which is an added bonus!

Best vegan food in Stirling! Even my non vegan boyfriend loves the pancakes. Staff were really helpful and made the visit. Even got some doughnuts to take away which are delicious 😋

Food was delicious and staff were so welcoming and helpful ! Will definitely be back soon , such a great local coffee shop !

Came here for some quick coffee and brunch and it did not disappoint. Fantastic coffee with great, tasty vegan food. Whats not to love? All the taste with none of the cruelty! I only had an oat milk latte and a lovely vegan doughnut, but...

Used to visit Stirling regularly and always loved a trip to HBW. Conor is lovely and the food and coffee is amazing. Bought some takeaway vegan donuts on my latest trip and they were fantastic. FANTASTIC.

Stopped in for a coffee but couldn’t resist the food menu. Homemade donuts were incredible and the brunch options are delicious. The pancakes are a must try and I especially enjoyed the spicy beans toast dish.

Cannot speak highly enough of this wee gem. Coffee is delicious, donuts are UNREAL and the atmosphere is great. Trendy without being pretentious. Conor makes you feel so welcome and you can tell a lot of love is put into every coffee. And as a bonus, everything is no plant-based! Can't wait for my next visit.

First visit to this lovely little urban chic cafe. Excellent lunch of fried mushrooms, roasted vine tomatoes and avocado on toast. All vegan with gluten free options too but it doesn’t skimp on taste. Highly recommended, I’ll be back

2nd time visiting in 3 days as I love this place so much, such a wee hidden gem in Stirling. Every single thing I’ve tried has been delicious and even meat eating friends loved it. Every dish is so beautifully presented, and there are gluten free options available but not stated on the menu. There’s great choices of coffees and freshly pressed fruit juices too. Can’t wait to come back. I’m definitely going to be a regular!

Such good vegan and veggie food as well as v decent coffee! The staff were so friendly and it's such a nice space. All covid regulations in place so it also feels very safe. 10/10 would recommend.

¡Es muy difícil encontrar buenas opciones veganas en la mayoría de los cafés, pero no tiene que preocuparse por eso en este! ¡Todo es vegano y súper delicioso, los precios también son muy buenos y el personal es extremadamente acogedor! Una perfección en un café :)

¡Este café es la perfección literal!El personal es súper amable y hospitalario, el lugar es brillante, minimalista, súper acogedor y artístico, la comida es para MORIR por una selección de comidas brekkie y brunchy y el café es excelente.También tienen bebidas súper deliciosas, como café con leche de remolacha, etc., que son muy rico. : PAGSSu menú es súper inclusivo, por lo que si eres vegano (como yo) hay un montón de opciones diferentes, ¡también tienen muchas opciones veganas para llevar, si tienes prisa!El mejor lugar en Stirling con diferencia! : D

Un amigo me recomendó esta pequeña joya de café y ahora entiendo completamente por qué. Servicio excepcional y acogedor con una gran variedad de deliciosas opciones de comida con un gran menú sin gluten; ¡algo que a menudo es muy difícil de encontrar! Este negocio local administrado de forma independiente es genuino, cómodo y amigable, ¡y no te decepcionará!

Today I had the most delicious soup I have tasted for a long time if not forever! It was courgette, spinach and coconut soup...what a wonderful combination! Thank you !

I had heard a lot about HBW and when I found it a few months ago I was gutted I had no time to go. Finally, on a perfectly sunny day in Stirling I had the pleasure of grabbing some caffeine in this hidden city gem. The coffee was great (had an espresso). I love the layout of the place. It looks from the outside like an unfinished masterpiece (with the old Opticians sign still there for effect) and the interior doesn't upset! The place was spacious with plenty of plug sockets for those moments when your phone is just about to pass out on you. They have a great selection of cakes too! I will be back!

Nice people ...warm atmosphere ,this end of Barnton st needed a nice coffee shop and these guys smashed it...hope you trade for years to come!

By now i consider myself a regular, and for good reason, fresh delicous coffee eco minded ehtos and food to die for!

My favourite coffee shop in Stirling since the day they opened! Love love love the dark chocolate mocha and the food is incredible! (too many good choices to recommend a specific one!)With vegan and glutenfree foods and drinks, they cater to a whole range of dietary restrictions and put a lot of thought and work into delivering the best quality and responsibly sourced ingredients. Conor and the guys always do their very best to make sure you are happy and I don't want to know how my dissertation time would've gone without them!

Had occasion to use this cafe during a business trip to Sterling. Really nice atmosphere and excellent coffee and cake. Highly recommended.

Absolutely breath of fresh air. Coffee properly knock-out. Very friendly, local owner. Exciting, fresh, plant-based menu. Just along Stirling main street so convenient and easy to get to from station/shopping centre. It really is the kind of place Stirling desperately needs to reinvigorate the town centre. Cannot wait to get back to try more from this team.

My friends and I went out for lunch. 2 of us had soup and a brownie and another had a sandwich. The food was so fresh and the service was fantastic. I cannot wait to see the direction you guys go! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Went this afternoon for coffee and a slice of cake. Had a latte and a slice of the coconut, banana and chocolate cake. Absolutely outstanding! Cannot recommend the place highly enough. Great coffee, very good cakes, and outstanding service!

Awesome coffee, awesome guys and great minimalistic interior! Definitely a spot to go if you're looking for speciality coffee in Stirling.

I wanted to give this place a bit of support because it was only opened recently by one of my students. I really just wanted to wish him well in his new venture but, I have to say, it was great. It's new so it's freshly decorated and spotlessly clean as you would expect but it's really all about the coffee and the cakes. Some interesting choices of coffee, I only had one latte but it was delicious. I mentioned that it was a wee bit cold but had the whole process explained to me and also that extra heat was available to meet personal tastes but, now that I know, I'll not be asking for that! The cakes were a mixture of professional and artisan and I haven't helped my diabetes at all, they were fantastic. I had orange drizzle cake followed by a chocolate brownie - ridiculously tasty. I have since taken business clients there for a meeting and it all worked really well. Give it a go!

Great homebaking, good range of coffees and lovely service from someone who cares what’s on the plate. I hope locals will support this new venture as there are a lot of coffee shops around and easy to miss the good ones

Recently opened, HBW stands for a proper, crafted coffee experience. Those of us craving such a venue in the area, should get down there sharpish and let Conor and his team, strut their caffeinated stuff and for those who think they know and have experienced good coffee, a visit here will make you think long and hard about revisiting your old favourite haunt! Currently, a small perfectly formed lunch menu awaits visitors and there's Specialty tea and some cool cakes, too. Vegan, Dairy and Gluten Free types will love it here. So, what are you waiting for? Help this new venue fly...we need this quality in the cafe sector...
