Liz MacGregor's Licensed Restaurant & Coffee Shop in Stirling

Un repas simple mais bien présenté dans une ambiance chaleureuse. Nous avons pris des sandwichs qui sont arrivés en assiettes avec une belle petite salade d'accompagnement. Merci pour l'accueil c'est très bon

Lovely place. Great home baking and the lady serving us was very courteous. There is a separate dog friendly room but we were in the main cafe. This place has always been busy.

Un vrai petit déjeuner de champion après cette nuit pluvieuse en tente au Lac Achray. Une halte qui remet en forme sur notre route de retour pour Glasgow en moto.

Pausa nel piccolo paesino in questa caffetteria che fa anche servizio pranzo. Costi economici e personale cordiale. Molto buone le torte fatte in casa da accompagnare con un piacevole tè.

Just like our first visit to this lovely cafe it didn’t disappoint! The cafe was very busy but we got a very welcoming hello and didn’t have to wait long till we got our lunch! Managed to get a table outside in the sun! We will be back for more delicious food and cakes!

Staff were incredibly rude. Combination of being ignored, scowled at, eye contact but with no follow up conversation, being made to wait at till to order with no acknowledgment from any of the people behind it. We walked out and nobody tried to stop us. Honestly, just don’t even bother!

Lovely, friendly cafe with great cakes and happy memories! Great place to get out of the rain and enjoy a cup of tea with kids or friends… Easy parking just over the road and nice base to plan your trip up the Ben behind you…highly recommend having visited many times over the years!

Great place! Would definitely be back! Very welcoming and great selection of cakes! The staff were so lovely and helpful! Service was very quick and the quality of the food was amazing! Had gluten free options and vegan options so everyone was well catered for. Soup was so tasty and comes with a lovely fresh buttered roll. Would recommend to everyone visiting the area.

I have had such a great trip around Scotland, met the warmest nicest people and eaten some of the nicest food ever. Until I got to this place. Anyone reading this, and you are in Aberfoyle, please do not go in here. Please save your time and your money. Firstly, you pay at the till, before you ever receive any food, so it means that they already have your money. Secondly,, the food takes ages and ages to arrive, 40 minutes plus. Thirdly, no atmosphere- no radio, plain decor, freezing cold, no smiles from staff, it is horrible. If we hadnt already paid, we would have walked out. Fourthly-the food. Dear God, it was so bad that I almost admire how soup can taste like dish water and the bread was the cheap plastic stuff you would just never eat. My husband's food was cold, plasticky and very very unpleasant. I felt very sorry for the young women working there, who are under pressure and were definitely trying their best under pretty grim conditions. The one star is for them, and most certainly, is not for the owner of this place.

Definitely the worst place I ever visited in my life. The owner was rude and ignorant. And the costs of food and drink is so much. Places in London cost cheaper for coffee and cakes

After a pleasant afternoon exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs at 3.30pm we were in need of sustinace. There’s an aparant shortage of cafes in the Trossachs so it was a relief to stumble across this no nonsense cafe on Main Street in Aberfoyle. We could have sat outside and watched the world go by but it was just a bit too chilly in the autumn sunshine so we opted for a table in the clean cafe. A chip butty ,panini , hot drinks were made to order and the choice of cakes was great ( it was Sunday tea time after all ). My son was happy with his generous slice of vegan chocolate cake which he says was excellent and I had the lemon and elderflower cake which was grand. Next door ( and I believe owned by the same people) is a nice dog friendly cafe for those who wish to bring their best friends. The staff were friendly and I got a joking ‘telling off’ for eating my cake before the panini arrives from the nice lady behind the counter which set the tone for a laid back and enjoyable bite to eat. All in all a pleasant experiance and I recommend this establishment. Thank you. ( PS it’s directly opposite the coop and there is a huge public car park behind the coop ).

Visited recently, was an amazing place, food and drinks were brilliant. Unfortunately the staff, not so much. I think his name was Rhys Wykes. Seemed nice enough, but kept talking about how he scammed people online. Agreeing to exchange items, wait for them to send the item to him and then blocking them. Not the type of conversation you want to hear, makes him sound dishonest and untrustworthy.

We had a quick late afternoon coffee and cake here. While the place is anything but impressive, the drinks and food were OK.

Great place for fish and chips. Fast and friendly service. Affordable prices. Comfortable atmosphere.

It's a little rustic but comfortable. A choice of cakes in the glass counter. All come as a BIG portion. I had the elderflower cake, which was delicious, although very sweet. To wash it down, I had a tea. I would go back for a tea and snack, but I'm not sure about having a meal there.

Lovely friendly local cafe, serving wholesome, if not gourmand, food. One filled roll was enough for me, yummy, though.

Great dog friendly cafe with a good choice of lunchtime food including vegetarian options and beautiful cakes The staff were welcoming and we were sufficiently impressed to return a couple of days later.

Exceptionally slow service. I recommend you don’t take more orders than you can process. Over 40 minutes to make a sandwich is ridiculous and then to have the order cancelled speaks volumes. Raging to say the least

Lovely friendly cafe for coffee and cake or a snack. The size of the baking portion was huge. Enjoyed our rest break hear. Came across very homely.

We stopped here twice. Once for tea and cake and once for lunch. Cakes were enormous with a generous pot of tea. Good lunch selection. Main cafe nicer than the add on.

Do not go go here! I realised I had been over charged and when I took the receipt and menu up to the woman at the till she got her back up and was very defensive (almost as if she had done it deliberately). She told me I had a copy of the “old menu” on my table and wouldn’t be refunded the difference. On my way back to the table I picked up a few other menu’s and it turns out that every table must have this “old menu”. I couldn’t be bothered arguing with her so waiting for my toastie, when I went back to my car and opened it I was faced with this monstrosity. “Bacon, brie and cranberry” minus the cranberry, 1 bit of brie and some sort of meat scattered around. Pictures below of what to look forward to if you go here. £20 for this? If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

Pleasant enough place, decent coffee and nice staff. £7.80 for a bacon brie and cranberry panini isn't exactly breaking the bank, but it would be nice if there was actually enough bacon, brie and cranberry to recognise that's what I was eating 🤷‍♀️

Great location on the main street with outside seating to watch the world go by and to enjoy the sun when it does shine. Seems a popular place for the locals and the staff seem to know everyone. Friendly and prompt service. Good strong coffee.

Fabulous place with the friendliest of service. Phoned ahead to see if they had space for 6 people and they accommodated us easily by adjusting tables. Superb home cooked food quickly cooked to order and very reasonably priced. Definitely a place to visit if in...

Really nice selection of hot and cold main courses, soup, pie and beans, plus a wide range of home made cakes. Absolutely superb service from all staff and top banter from the waitress. Option to sit inside or out. Lots of space. Absolutely recommend.

Nice to be able to sit outdoors with our dog and have some lunch. There was a good selection on the menu. Naively I wasn't expecting a fried egg in an egg roll but the others in my group were all happy with their selection.

In our trip around Scotland, We were in Aberfoyle for a short time. Looking for some place for having lunch, we found this cozy coffee shop. It is a good place to have a breaf and tasty meal. The atmosphere is nice and the staff...

Stopped for a takeaway iced coffee on a hot day. Couldn’t resist the cakes! They tasted as good as they looked. Lovely, friendly service with a smile.

Stopped in for lunch. Excellent Scotch pies and a full breakfast with friendly service. Large selection of cakes were also on offer.

We’ve been coming to this cafe as a family for nearly 10 years. We’ve usually had a great experience; however every now and then we’ve had a dry cake but it’s never put us off coming because it’s now a bit of a family tradition....

Pleasant staff. Clean area. Just got teas /coffee's and cakes , Would go back and possibly buy a meal.

I visited here for lunch in June 2022. I was happy with the experience. The cafe has been in existence for a long time, apparently, having been running since the 1980's. I was impressed with the food, having a bowl of Vegetable soup (vegan) and...

A lovely place with efficient, friendly staff. Had the vegetarian breakfast and pancakes with maple syrup, both excellent. Wish we had visited here sooner. Can highly recommend!!

A lovely little place with the simple and very tasty menu. We loved the tomato and basil soup, lentil soup and baked potatoes with prawns/coronation chicken. Plus amazing selection of cakes and great coffee. Perfect for light bites / brunch / lunch and dog friendly.

Had a veggie and normal breakfast. Both excellent with quick and friendly service. Veggie breccy in particular was great with lots of variety

Very efficient and attentive staff and very”Covid’ aware, which is so reassuring. Food was delivered quickly and was delicious. The girls are really friendly.

Thanks to Liz, Hannah and staff for being awesome during this difficult time. What a great, friendly place with great food.

Lovely little place serving good snacks and a large selection of home made cake. loved it there. Staff very friendly, service with a smile.

Lovely home cooked food served with a smile. We had a cake and coffee/tea but hot food was served for lunch also - would recommend.

Great cake café on the edge of Aberfoyle, friendly service, COVID safe. Most importantly, delicious cakes, including gluten free options.

Lunch today. Didn’t fancy the pubs so tried here. I had fish and chips which was nice and came with a salad and coleslaw which was a pleasant surprise. My wife had half a breakfast which actually seemed to be a reasonably decent size breakfast...

More concerned with talking than serving. We went at lunchtime nd I had to stand for several minutes whilst tha staff argued/chatted amongst themselves. The menu choices were limited a, d basically were all fried or grilled We were also required to pay upon ordering...

We were just here for coffee & cake. Excellent choice of home baking. Will be back sometime for a meal.

Quite expensive at over £11.00 for two cream scones and a coffee. I ended up only getting half a coffee as the waitress's hands were so shaky that she spilled most of it when she brought it over, soaking the paper napkin and sugar that...

5 Stars for this great cafe. The food here is so fresh and tasty, have never seen such a selection of home baking. The double sponges are delicious, from Lemon and Elderflower to Red Velvet the choice is just fantastic. Everything is home made, even...

Amazing, delicious food (tried haggis for the first time, very tasty on toast) and friendly, helpful staff! Highly recommended! :)

Extensive cafe (two shop fronts) in downtown Aberfoyle. Seating on the pavement to watch local activities.

15 of us descended on Liz MacGregor's for brunch one Sunday morning and they were fantastic. Service was fast and friendly and food was great. Went back for breakfast a couple of days later and got the same superb service. Thank you so much!

Lot’s of cake selections. The coffee is good, found it quite good value for what we got. Nice scones and cream. Customer service was good and everything is brought out on trays.

Two very hungry friends looking for a late lunch - speedy, flexible order - my friend experienced lorne sausage, haggis and black pudding for first time. Friendly and good service a real credit to Aberfoyle

After driving out to Stronachlacher on a very wet day on an extremely bad road only to find its only cafe closed,we returned to aberfoyle to lunch at Liz McGregors on main st. I have noticed other reviews complaining about the welcome from staff. Today...

Stoped here after getting lost in the area and had an amazing prawn salad, was greeted by very nice staff and was helped out by the friendly owner Liz with directions. All in all a great little coffee shop and would highly recommend it to...

Unlike in details given, this is currently open till 6pm and should not be missed. Great staff, good fresh coffee and cakes to die for. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Vegan and allergy aware products sold too.

Good attention to hygiene, vegetarian breakfast really good and they do half portions. Lovely service very freindly.

Only had tea, coffee and cakes but nice staff and very friendly to talk to. The premises next door is also part of the restaurant,so plenty of space .

Lovely place to sit outside and relax with friendly table service. The Victoria cake I had was delicious but the flat white coffee I had was poor. Very thin and watery without any real bite or body. In addition the cheap paper cup it was...

Food is fantastic...and grab a cake if you have room, soup and toasties were amazing, kids loved breakfast x

Popped in for a sandwich & drink. Staff so friendly. Food was decent & very reasonable priced. Would recommend for a stop of on the way to Loch Katrine

We were let down with our booking by the Forth Inn, so walked past this cafe, where staff were friendly, we ate a delicious home cooked meal, highly recommend unlike the the Forth Inn

We dropped in for a bite to eat having just walked from Drymen on the Rob Roy Way. The menu was good if unexciting and we opted for a baked potato with haggis and cheese and brie and cranberry panini. Both were good and were...

Two visits in 2 days, 1 for brunch and 1 for breakfast. Both days, food was very tasty, portions were good and coffee was lovely. Veggie breakfast was excellent and really filling. Would visit again in the next time we are in Aberfoyle.

This café covers the frontage of three original shops and has a pavement site. Good coffee and scones and a good selection of cakes which are a little on the expensive side at £4-95 for a modest slice. I guess everything is a bit more...

My husband and I came here on a rainy afternoon after walking up Ben A’an, we were just in need of a quick bite and this place was perfect. I had a toastie which was the perfect light meal I needed and he had a...

Stopped off for coffee and cake, both were excellent. Carrot cake was moist and delicious. Well worth a detour.

The coffee was ok, the scone was ok but nothing to write home about. I know that things are different in these COVID restricted times but can think of no reason why it is necessary to use mainly disposable cutlery/plates including plastic forks and knives...

Arrived in Aberfoyle looking for a light lunch. So many to choose from. We checked the menu here and decided to try it. We had beautiful toasties with tuna and cheese with a salad and creamy coleslaw. This was followed by excellent coffee and a...

Came here for breakfast whilst staying in Kinlochard. Breakfast options were plentiful and staff helpful. The range of cakes was mouthwatering although i could not eat due to allergens. Was able to have a lactose free tea whIch was very much appreciated. Will definitely be stopping back in when next in the area.

WE have visited this place before ages ago and had nice memories, our second visit was just couple weeks ago, shortly after they were able to open again. We had a nice meal and kids meal , the service was good as well as portion size. The interior of the shop was prepared for social distancing and had plenty of sanitizing gels.We were able to have our meal outside and we have enjoyed it.

I came here from Stirling cold Day I went into the coffee shop. The welcome I got very rude . Sat Down had a cold coffee horrible dry carrot Cake nearly 7 pounds Waste of money go somewhere else treating better. Liz the owner rude and bully of a person

Visited twice recently following morning walks . Substantial tasty Scottish breakfast . Great service and good value - homely surrounds

Very unfriendly no welcome .. waited 5 mins untilAnyone approached .. waitresses on the floor but again just ignored!! My partner asked the girl who was foreign if it was table service she blatantly ignored him after him asking 2 times if it was table service she smuggly looked back over her shoulder and smirked even my daughter noticed this and was taken aback how rude .. food was good but terrible service we spent over £35 we will not be back !!!!

Visited for lunch. Wonderful menu with down to earth scottish fayre. We all opted for soup and toasties, all different and all got the thumbs up. Served promptly with a smile. We will return, no doubt about that.

Popped in today with a couple of friends after our ramble through the forest, as we have done previously, and alas we were not let down the lady behind the counter still had no warm welcome , no smile and still had a bit of an attitude.Definitely all the wrong signals to send out to your customers, this was our second visit in a matter of months , we thought she just may have had a bad day on our first visit but we were wrong, opened the door and sure as god dour face popped out and gave us the customary growl.Never again , gave her the benefit of the doubt but still looked like someone attending a funeral.

Possibly thee best choice of wonderful homemade cakes I have had the pleasure of choosing between.All looked wonderful such as Coffee Cake, Walnut Cake, Orange Cake amonst others. Settled in the Elderflower and Lime Cake and fantastic choice it was. Moist, flavoursome and baked to perfection. All served with lovely coffee by very pleasant staff. Gem of a place.

Liz MacGregors cafe offers lovely cakes - and the coffees aren't bad either. Service was pleasant and prompt

Stopped for lunch and had the lentil soup with bread roll. The soup was good. The bread roll was fresh but not the kind of crusty roll I like with soup. It was like a doughy hamburger or hot dog type bun. Given bread was a major part of the meal I give it an average rating

Too bad I could only stop for a quick coffee, as I was on a tour of the Highlands and didn't have much time left before getting back to my bus!The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I wasn't expecting any non-dairy milk options, but found plenty instead! Pretty sure that I would've found something vegan-friendly to eat as well, had I had more time to stop.Hope to be back soon in future.Keep up the lovely work!

Old fashioned room but what's on offer is fantastic value. We had afternoon tea with scones and cake. Excellent home baking. Cream with scones was lovely. Friendly service. Would recommend and we're fussy!!

Recently stopped here on a family day out. we decided to have lunch and sat for about 15 minutes before we were asked what we would like to order. i opted for all day breakfast and my 2 kids both had macaroni. the food was terrible greasy deep fried potato scones and square sausage. the macaroni was cold and tasteless with uncooked chips. when i complained the girl told me this was there usual standard, and there are cafes nearby if we wanted better quality food. i was shocked as her response was not what i was expecting. needless to say we went elsewhere. will never return please AVOID if you dont want to be disappointed

We stopped here for lunch on recommendation and were very pleased to say that it lived up to its reputation. Our food was both hot (made to order) and delicious - black pudding, egg & chips. The home baked cakes looked amazing but we didn't have room after eating our generous lunch.

Loved the down home feel. The food was ok. Our group thought the fish and chips were the best. They did not have the salad doing ate leek and potato soup which was made better by the huge dinner roll that came with it. You’ll need 45 minutes for a non rushed meal as they are a wee bit slow.

Friendly staff...Just got tea/ coffee and scones...Reasonable prices..Homemade cakes on display...Would go back if in Aberfoyle again.

As I said the word quaint comes to mind however it's very true this was set in the heart of the Trossachs in Stirling Scotland. We were there as part of a tour taking us to Loch Lomand Stirling Castle and we decided to stop off for lunch and we were quite surprised. It had a small town feel to it great service generous portions and it was a nice relaxing lunch in the heart of a beautiful area of this gorgeous country. The food was tasty the service was very homey and there is nothing to be disappointed about.

I often pop in during my cycle rides, its an ideal place to rest and nourish before the ascent of the Dukes Pass. The bacon rolls are particularly tasty

I was there in a tour.I am very happy that I went to this place because the food was very good,homemade and very tasty and not expensive.If it happens that you are in the neighbourhood do not hesitate,go inside and have some good meal.You would not be disapointed.

We went here twice during our holiday in Aberfoyle. They have a great selection of scones and cakes, but we were in for lunch and chose their panini's which came with a nice salad on the side.

We stopped here for lunch it was a lovely day so we sat outside we ordered toasted sandwiches bread was paper thin cold meat was per thin as was the cheese slice one bottle of water and a tin of iron bru total £14.59 disgusting Aberfoyle not for us

We went here for lunch and opted for pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs but were disappointed with the pancakes as they seemed not to be fresh and were very dry. If it hadn’t been for the syrup I doubt if we’d have eaten much of the very dry pancakes. Usually I’d expect the pancakes to be made to order but it would seem not in this instance. The sausages and eggs were okay but the main act was a big disappointment and so we left some of the pancakes.

We dropped in for tea and cake and were not disappointed. Good, homemade cakes and excellent, friendly service. Recommend.

It’s a nice stop for an afternoon coffee or light lunch. Plenty of home made cooking to choose from and we had a good visit.

This is the second time we’ve visited here and we’ve loved it both times. This time my fiancé, our 3 year old, and I had a quick lunch. It was cracking. The soup and sandwich combo hit the spot, the lentil soup was gorgeous. My daughter had the cheeseburger which came with fries and salad, and my fiancé had a hot filled roll. We couldn’t fault the food, there was plenty of it and it was all made fresh. Then we had cake. Oh the cake!!! Two big thick chunks of chocolate cake and coffee cake did all 3 of us. Divine. I was sure the bill was wrong though. For the food and the service it just didn’t seem enough but it was right.

Fantastic cake, fantastic coffee, great prices. There are plenty of seats outside as well to sit out with your furry family members

Probably best walnut cake I've ever eaten!! Fresh and delicious. Amazing - stopped after a long walk and did not regret it!

Partner and I stopped in after a walk and thought right try a local place rather than give money to big chain.

Lovely and friendly. Great hot chocolate, just what you need on a winter's day. Cakes are huge, well worth a visit

Well it was £20 for 2 coffees, breakfast rolls and cake... the food was fine, the coffee average... I could not criticise it... but it didn't really do it for me.

Recommended by several local people and easy to park nearby, we found the choice of menu suitable for us and finding this cafe did add to our holiday as Macdonalds where we were staying nearby had superb cuisine for the evenings too.

This is our second visit to this establishment and we really enjoyed the experience. The coffee was hot and was accompanied with hot milk. The scones were large and appeared to be freshly baked and there was plenty jam and butter for them. The cost was reasonable

Very basic cafe with very average food. Went for lentil soup which was full of celery (not mentioned on menu) and a toasted sandwich which was as bland as they come.

Stopped here with some family and friends for breakfast. Lovely food and very nice staff! Worth a visit
