Liz MacGregor's Licensed Restaurant & Coffee Shop in Stirling

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 suitably filling.

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 expensive in these times

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 cake and coffee.Overall, the food here is fine.

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 and, worst of all, polystyrene plates. Hot soapy water kills COVID so metal cutlery and proper cups and plates are perfectly safe and much more environmentally friendly. We won't be back here.

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 delicious strawberry tart. Highly recommend this place. Very clean and were following the Covid restrictions and cleaning procedure

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

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

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.

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.

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

Can’t say anything about their food, but this is a nice place to stop for a pint or two. This pub doesn’t serve Guinness, but their offerings don’t disappoint.

An adequate lunch stop when you need quick service but do not expect fireworks. You get what you pay for

good service, lovely home made lunch, and baking. scones and cakes, large double sponges. delicious.

An excellent wee tearoom with really pleasant and helpful staff with a lovely selection of home bakes and a fine selection of light meals!!

Popped in for a cup of tea and slice of cake. Portions plentiful, cake deliciously moist, good cafe and service with a smile too. Cake and two teas for a tenner, spot on. Free parking for 30 minutes on the road outside too!

We were here a few years ago and on our return to the area I could not wait to enjoy a large piece of the red velvet cake we had the last time.

We dropped in for Tea and cake after a long drive. The cakes were huge!! But were a bit dry. The service was good and the staff polite, but the decor lacked imagination with 2 pictures on the main wall being identical!!?? The decor wasn't exactly welcoming, very much a budget cafe (dead flies on the window sill!). 2 teas and cakes £8.75

This seems to be a butchery, extended to cover other purposes too. They have cheese, jams, sauces. A meal can be enjoyed, from pies to cold appetizers to burgers or baguettes.

Massive cakes, really good menu. Same chef from Black Bull. Would definitely recommend. We ate lunch, lovely panini and sandwiches, cakes and scones.

Pas déçus par cette pause, petits snack très bons et économiques, bons gateaux et personnel vraiment gentil , je recommande

Probably the best café in the County! Friendly staff, an extensive menu and home made soup that is to die for, particularly when they have mushroom soup on the menu. The soup and toastie choice is extremely good value and absolutely delicious. Furthermore their coffee is excellent, proper sized cup and just like a café au lait from France! This place cannot be beaten.

Called in for a coffee and cake with my husband. Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

My friend and I popped in here for coffee before i headed home.

We ate here for lunch following a lovely walk around Aberfoyle and the surrounding area. Both of us had soup with a toastie and it hit the spot perfectly: a tasty and filling lunch which readied us for the next stage of our walk. If I’d not eaten my fill I’d have tried the cakes too as they looked amazing!

This brief review is based solely on two Americanos - one decaf, one regular. If a restaurant includes the words "Coffee Shop" in the name - one would think you'd be able to get a good coffee there. Nope.

We arrived in Aberfoyle on a dreich and chilly day, the village looking a little sad at the end of the season but were pleased to find this place going like a fair. Plenty of choice on the menu from all day breakfasts to paninis and baked potatoes. Our order was quickly taken and arrived in 10 minutes, the teenagers hadn’t even had time to moan about waiting!

I would recommend Liz MacGregor's if you are in Aberfoyle. We stopped for coffee and lunch, and were very impressed with the quality of food and value for money. It was clear that there were plenty of locals eating there too, which is always a good recommendation. Nothing fancy but a good selection of meals at fair prices.

Sehr nettes kleines Restaurant. Die Bedienung ist freundlich. Das Essen ist lecker und regional. Und das Beste ist, dass die Preise wirklich in Ordnung sind.

We had a meal here while visiting in Aberfoyle. It is a nice small neighborhood type restaurant with a fairly...

Went here for a scone n coffee it was quite when we went in the there was about half dozen...

An essential stop when passing through Aberfoyle. Use the central car park, a few minutes walk away. Very friendly staff despite, at times, having to work under great pressure. It can be very busy, sharing a table may be necessary but the excellent hot food and cakes from a menu to satisfy all comes quickly. Be prepared to clear a table and at busy times wait or return later: turnover is reasonably quick.

We ate here while on the Hairy Coo tour. We had hot tomato basil soup with bread. It really hit the spot on a cool, rainy day and was very good. They specialize in “fresh baked cakes” so we ordered a piece of red velvet and it was VERY dry, obviously a couple days old. Otherwise service was good. Get there quickly when you get off your tour bus because it is quite small.

Just stopped to sit outside for a coffee while the weather was nice. The home made cakes are tempting but finding a table that had not been cleared was a task. Even the waitress who brought out teas and coffee to another table didn't bother to clear away things from vacated tables even though she had an empty tray on her way back in! Someone at a nearby table cleared her own cups etc and also the table adjacent to hers and took them inside.

Freshly cooked, piping hot, efficient pleasant service & well priced. We all enjoyed the meals that we ordered. We didn't have cake because we well full after having a main meal, but all cakes looked lovely.

We ate here twice during our stay in the area. It is clean, the staff are friendly and the food was nice.

We stopped for a coffee and ended up having so much more as it was friendly, quant and the food and cakes were lovely.

Stopped for a late lunch on a rainy Sunday afternoon. At first the restaurant was full but we looked elsewhere and went back and luckily a couple were just leaving. We just had a toastie and soup (both had different kinds) and they were both delicious and value for money. The choice of food was quite good with a lot of people opting for the all day breakfast. The cakes also looked very nice but we didn't have any. The restaurant is on the main street and certainly the most popular which speaks volumes. Service was quick despite being so busy. Would definitely recommend and if back in area will return.

A great place for a full Scottish breakfast and one of the best places I've found. The portions are a good size and food is freshly cooked at the venue. It's a quite bright and airy place and there is a nice selection of cakes if you just wanted coffee and cake.

Food was really tasty, basic, but tasty. We had a panini each & it certainly hit the spot. Cakes were nice, large selection and large slices to be had.Service was not great though, and middle-ages Scottish woman was serving us, I hope she was not the owner as she looked so miserable & grumpy. Didn't even attempt to crack a smile when serving us. That left a bad taste in our mouths.....Unsure if we would return purely due to poor service.Foreign male waiter was very pleasant.

Popped into this restaurant for morning coffee and was surprised by the vast array of food available. We ended up with coffee and a slice of Walnut and banana loaf. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and the coffee piping hot. Would highly recommend this establishment.

Excellent place stopped in here for late lunch, nice friendly staff, very popular with tourists and locals. Large selection of food sandwiches, soup, main courses and lovely cakes and traybakes.

Je vous recommande cette adresse. Les plats y sont très bons. Très bon accueil. Le lieu y est agréable. Le petit plus, le serveur parle français.

A good cafe serving home made cakes and hot snacks. Simple food, well prepared.Nothing fancy, very "down to earth" and good value. Right in the centre of Aberfoyle with public carpark nearby. Service friendly and brisk.

A more than welcome stop on cycle route 7. Super coffee and cakes. Friendly and helpful service. Good location on the main street.

This place is ok. The shrimp I had were really tiny, perhaps from a tin. Not a lot of ambiance. The desserts looked tasty but I had none.

Fish and chips, lentil soup and scone with English tea. Solid lunch for 2! And the price was decent.

We stopped here as part of a day tour from Glasgow to Stirling, Loch Lomond & whisky. This was a good choice. Service was very quick. We arrived at a quarter to 1 and was served food within 10 minutes. We had the pie of the day... chicken and bacon. It was very good. Hot and fresh with local produce.

Pies and cakes! They have the best looking and variety of baked goods I've seen anywhere. And Delicious too!

This restaurant was quite busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Nevertheless, the service was excellent and staff members warm and friendly. The menu caters for most tastes and in addition, there is a daily 'special' board. The quality of the food was very good and the cakes were 'to die for'.

Service rapide et sympa. Plats typiques de la région. Les prix sont raisonnables. Des double sponge cakes de folie.p

I had tea and cake in here and waited ages to be served. I had tea and cake (the cake was not nice) and the tea room wasn't that clean. The salt and pepper pots on table were dirty and place didn't look clean a bit dusty. Wouldn't recommend

Just what we wanted...Tea and good cake.Very popular spot with tourists and locals alike. Suspect it's a bit of a greasy spoon, but service was good, and cake selection fair.

After a coffee we also got amazing scones straight from the oven with jam and cream. Absolutely hit the spot.

Went in here today whilst visiting Aberfoyle, because there was very little in the way of eateries to choose from. I had scampi and chips with salad garnish, enjoyed it. My husband had a 'special roll' which had black pudding, egg and tattie scone, which he also enjoyed. Really the only thing that put us off were the unsmiling faces of the staff. It was bordering on unfriendly.

Tried lunch in a couple of places, about 13 miles north west & a dead end. Terrible experience, trying to eat, but the views are to die for. Came back here for lunch @ 3.00pm & realised we should have stopped here 3 hours earlier. Great lunch, gluten free options with meals & cakes. The cakes are very, very good. So, don't be tempted to motor on, unless you've got cycle clips round your trousers.

Stopped here a few times when up walking dogs at Loch Ard food is always lovely which is reason we return but as always the staff could do with learning customer service. Sadly there is never a smile on their face and they make it feel an effort to serve you.

Didn't sit in as they were about to close. Bought some take away cakes though and can honestly say the Victoria sponge was to die for

We stopped off here for s bit of lunch, we both had the brie, bacon and cranberry toasties, they were delicious and came with a great side salad that was super tasty. Coffee was hot and good. We stopped on the way back for coffee and cake the next day. Huge portions of cake.

Just stopped here to grab a drink before heading on to Callender but then couldn't resist having a cake and a scone as well. Very pleasant waitress and lovely food at a good price just what a Yorkshire couple are looking for !

We stopped in for soup and a roll. The lentil soup was homemade and delicious, and the roll was fresh with loads of butter. The coffee was very good - I had Americano, but there were many other flavors on offer, as well as a variety of teas. It is very much a 'cafeteria-style' and the service was fine.

Hubby and I were passing through from a visit to Loch Lomond and thought we would stop for something to eat, can't fault the food as it was really good but standard of customer service is somewhat left to be desired as the lady (oldest server) serving us couldn't crack a smile for anyone not just us, very off putting when you are asking for something and you are greeted with a miserable face. I know no one wants to work on a Sunday but seriously if you are looking for a tip for good service at least give some.

Passing on route to Forrest Hills , Lunch was absolutely delicious. Food piping hot and staff friendly . Reasonably priced .

Great for a drink or meal. Good variety. Friendly staff and quick service. Not too expensive.come back again soon.

Called in for a quick brunch on January second. Good service and food not overpriced. Plenty of atmosphere and extremely busy. Staff very pleasant and seating comfortable. Very bright surroundings with some interesting paintings on the walls.

We needed some warming refreshment from a cold, wet and windy walk and this coffee shop delivered. It s not a fine China and afternoon tea shop but they welcome everyone. we had a delicious lentel soup with a side of cheese and pickle toasty, sounds a little strange but wow it works. Together with a pot of pipping hot tea it ticked all the boxes at reasonable price. We never had any but the cakes and scones all looked home baked and define. One point to note if your a vegetarian is that the lentil soup has a base stock of ham that wasn't mentioned until after I enquired how they get so much flavour into a soup.

Great teas and coffee and you must add a piece of cake always pop in when out walking around aberfoyle Area

Visited after walking at the Lodge. Average is a good description. No child change facility but only small tea room. Staff were ok. Food was ok. Aberfoyle is such a lovely place with great walks. The tea room was just ok.

Liz MacGregor Coffee ShopNice wee gem of a find in Aberfoyle.Sadly the place looks well used and slightly dark/jaded - possibly due to high customer popularity.Staff were kind of welcoming but appeared under pressure with busy customers!Please, please don't let this put you off!The fruit scones/jam/cream and cakes are just amazing! You are spoiled for choice!Amazing in quality and portion size - a real feast for a morning/afternoon coffee stop.Prices are surprising good as the shop is prime location.You will be disappointed to have missed out on this MacGregor experience!
