Powmill milk bar in Perth & Kinross

Powmill is a favourite meeting place for lunch with old school friends however after today I doubt that we will return. It's fair to say that we were served efficiently by pleasant staff but the food left a lot to be desired. Pea and ham soup was tasteless, macaroni cheese lacked any sauce and was effectively a dish of stodgy pasta, and selling Halloween decorated biscuits caused us to wonder when they were baked. We left feeling very disappointed.

For many years an excellent pitstop but now appears no longer motorbike friendly, due to owners attitude won't return. Good food and location but apparently bikes take up room for regular customers, perhaps a rethink of signage or carpark area upgrade. Personally I've stopped here for many years solo riding and as part of a group, I would think that constitutes a regular customer.

What a wonderful welcoming stop! Great coffee delicious cake and very friendly atmosphere… I was on my way home with 2 golden retrievers, we could not have been made to feel more welcome! And to our utter Delight they have pupcakes too! (Cup cakes for doggies) thank you all for such a welcome break to our day. See you all soon…

Came here for lunch on a back holiday, was busy but we were able to get a seat. Restaurant also had a dog friendly area! The menu was varied, I had the macaroni, was tasty however the portion size was massive which can be a little off putting. Boyfriend got the chicken fillets which were very tasty! The milkshakes were amazing! This all came to around £30. I would definitely be back!

Great Place for a pit stop. Nice breakfast and also looked to have nice selection of cakes. Quick service and will use again.

Called into Powmill for some lunch and placed our order at the till for 2 toasties/teas to eat in. Went to our table and were quickly served our teas. (All good so far). After 25 minutes we still had no food and our teapot was empty. We saw a waitress wandering about outside with packaged food then came back and left it on the counter. She then appeared again and this time passed by our table with the same items, so we enquired about our order. She then looked delighted that she'd found the recipient of the order. We asked her if she could please put our food on plates as we were "eating in", which she did. Obviously, by this time, our food was cold and we had to ask for more tea. Unfortunately Powmill, we were not impressed with the service. Perhaps tea/coffee/cake would've been a better option?

Stopped for a quick bite when we needed lunch. There’s a big chalkboard above the counter that reads “we don’t serve fast food, we serve good food as fast as we can”. It was very busy and after queuing a good 10 minutes I ordered. The gluten free options were limited (mostly sandwiches on GF bread which experience tells me can be very hit and miss) so I was pleased to see chicken nachos as an option. I ordered that and my companion wanted a fish finger sandwich which on the menu is listed with fries and coleslaw. First off, I was told that the sandwiches don’t come with fries or coleslaw as a takeout option (despite the menu description) so I paid extra to add them as sides. Confirmed that the nachos were gluten free though, then after paying I waited over 20 minutes more before my takeout food was ready. At least half a dozen people who were behind me in the queue, maybe more, received their hot food orders while I waited. We eventually asked if our order had been missed, as we hadn’t been given a receipt and order number as other diners had. When we finally got the food, there was no explanation or apology for the long wait. The chicken nachos were very 100% ultra processed junk. Small amounts of shredded cheap supermarket sliced chicken, served with a huge pile of melted very cheap cheddar which made the whole thing unbearably greasy. Not a lot of mediocre salsa (from a jar) and a tiny pot of that disgusting green stuff with the long shelf life that supermarkets sell as guacamole - full of preservatives and looks like it has never even met an avocado. Definitely not the fresh, home prepared food that we expected. The fish finger sandwich looked ok, the bread seemed reasonable and the fries were pretty good, but I would not recommend the nachos to anyone. I certainly won’t be in a hurry to eat here again.

This is a lovely place for lunch. The staff were very friendly, the food was excellent and the service was great. There was a good selection of meals to choose from, from soup, sandwiches, paninis, chicken goujons, scampi, burgers, etc. I had the Chicken Goujons, which were delicious and came with lovely chips and a salad. My friend had a huge sandwich with salad and crisps. The portion sizes were large and the food was delicious. We decided to have cakes to take away for dessert, but we could also have had ice cream. While we were there (a Tuesday afternoon) there was a steady stream of people coming in for lunch or picking up food to take away.

Lovely stop here for lunch on our trip home from holiday. Excellent choice of food and cakes etc. we enjoyed some delicious homemade lentil soup with crusty bread followed by sharing a gigantic meringue! It was very busy but food was served promptly, piping hot and fresh. Very clean throughout and nice modern, clean toilets. Reasonable prices and a good range of food options available.

Couldn’t fault the staff or the food , it was delicious and excellent value. We are a well travelled pair and this is probably the best breakfast experience we have had in Scotland. Well done everyone and thank you 👏👏🤗

Love the lunch menu there - the meals are consistently good. Plus they have a dog friendly area (and dog treats for sale).

Clean and tidy with pleasant staff . Food was nice and hot and quickly made to order Will definitely be back to try the b/fast 👍👍☘️ 10/10

Recently changed ownership but still a great rest stop, friendly staff, great food, fantastic atmosphere. I'm a biker and it's ideal for a place to have a break and recharge your batteries.

Poor service and very rude staff. Long que to get a coffee and a bacon roll. Not worth the wait, poor quality roll and very weak coffee.

Staff attitude was horrendous , roll wasn't the best , local bike meet plenty of paying customers and owner still moaning that her regulars weren't stopping. Definitely avoid for better customer service somewhere else..

New ownership and the Milkbar has nosedived. Recommend finding sownehere else to go as the attitude and customer service are dreadful and the quality isn't as good. We ordered jacket potatoes with coronation chicken which didn't contain much chicken and when we asked/complained the older person that served us was surly, confrontational and downright rude. It feels like the new owners haven't worked in the catering industry before and have no clue how to deal with customers (apparently the customers are never right). I would suggest the new owners go back to school to learn the fundamentals of customer service if they want their business to improve.

Visited for the first time in years and the prices have certainly increased. £3.25p for a morning roll and 2 pieces of bacon 🙁 and you still need to purchase a hot drink. This eatery is advertising locally sourced produce so surely there can’t be high transport costs. In all fairness the bacon was tasty, the coffee was lovely and served with a smile. Surely a hot roll and a hot drink offer on the morning menu would be more appealing to the public. I would return again but the owners need to look at their price structure on their breakfast menu at least.

The Milk Bar is perhaps too dog friendly as dogs are allowed indoors and not just at the outside tables. The last couple of times we have called in, dogs barking loudly spoiled our enjoyment. Such a pity, as it is a nice cafe with a good selection of cakes and parking is easy.

Amazing food and drinks, especially the milkshakes! Lovely staff and very quick service. 100% recommend. I especially love the malteaser cake.

Extremely disappointed. I have been coming for years with family and friends for 'all day breakfast' or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon pus cakes and meringues. Now only a lunch menus after 11.30. Previously a beacon roll was £3. Only option I was offered was a toasted sandwich at almost £9. The family and I won't be back

Very disappointed. Lorne sausage was overcooked and tough,bacon cold and tough, potato scone needed a saw to cut it. Sent it back. Woman that came to speak to me explained that it was steak lorne and tgats what happened when it was kept warm- ( big sign says food is fresh- no fast food here!). I did get a sausage recorded and that was the standard I did expect- at least I could eat it. I said to til staff that the replacement roll on sausage was much better and was tge standard I expected and a surly female staff member was quite rude. I've been going there for years- maybe they're having an off day,but not good.

This was just a flying visit to pick up a goodie ie, a couple of cakes to take away. My husband loves the giant cream Meringues from here. And I do mean giant. I had a large plain scone with strawberry jam and cream. If you’ve never visited the Milk Bar you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s dog friendly, sells cakes and doggy ice cream. Fresh bowls of water at the door for them too. Child friendly, can provide a high hair and children’s menu. Ample parking. Spotlessly clean in cafe area and toilets. Go on, treat yourself.

Held off on our trip to stop in to powmill milk barn . Owner said staff were moaning so they closed early at 1630 amd hoped we werent disapointed ..... we were . Wouldnt risk it again just in case staff couldnt be bothered

stopped for a coffee at kinross to busy went to powmill for a coffee and cake, best tasting coffee ive had for ages, will beback again, great stuff, p.s. the cake was great to. regards, tam fae falkirk

Excellent food. And doggy friendly with doggy cakes and biscuits and foggy ice cream. Rolls good and service quick. Big selection of cakes. Coffee also good

Had been recommended this by a friend who said he had visited regularly last year so thought we would give it a go! Overall really disappointing experience and we won’t be back even with the offer of a free breakfast! We entered the cafe which was fine, took our seat and my husband went and ordered. All good and easy enough. we ordered a breakfast, scrambled egg on toast, poached egg on toast with a side of veggie haggis x 2. When it came out there was no veggie haggis on one when my husband said to the server we had ordered it she rudely said you didn’t order that you only asked for one, when he explained what he said she said you never and I haven’t charged you. My husband went and paid for a side of veggie haggis and the same women then said abruptly to the kitchen, that man never ordered that. She told us it would be three mins, at least ten mins passed and everyone was finished their breakfast except me who was waiting on my veggie haggis whilst my poached eggs and toast went cold. My husband went up to ask about it and she told us it wasn’t even cooking yet, he got a refund for the haggis and came back to the table, the eggs by this point were cold so we took it back up and again the same rude women said, is there a problem abruptly! We asked for a refund and another lady apologised and offered a free one next time. She was nice enough but didn’t make up for the other terrible member of staff who clearly sees customers as an inconvenience! Other than that we found some annoyances. We got fresh orange juice, advertised as Folkingtons fresh orange at £3.45, what is actually available is princes 200ml carton of fresh orange which you pay 60p for. Also as a side note, why do you send scrambled egg on toast etc out with a side of butter, are we supposed to scrape the mound of egg off to put butter on before putting the egg back on? Won’t be back purely down to the worst customer service I have ever experienced!

Called in on a Saturday afternoon with our dog and all were made most welcome Plenty of grass for dog exercise and then inside for freshly prepared rolls and drinks. The young staff were freindly and helpful in identify terms on the menu and checking we were content. All was excellent and worth a diversion to if travelling north on the A9

Popped in en route to Glasgow from East Neuk 15 min before closing - staff were so friendly and we enjoyed the most amazing iced fruit slice and honeymoon tray bake with a cuppa. We will definitely be back - hopefully not so near closing...

Like this place as it has dog access. We were able to take our dog in with us. It offers basic food. The seats and tables were accessible for me. There is a wide variety of sandwiches, cakes and sides. The total bill for 3...

The staff are very rude and service is very disappointing. They have no vegan cake options. I would definitely avoid this place. Keep driving and/or cycling to much better and friendlier coffee shops.

Food quality was excellent as was the price. However service was shocking. Asking questions was either greeted by a point blank “No” or a server reading directly from the menu. As there is a kids lunch offering, I thought the same would be available either...

Normally have a lovely time here and the food is absolutely amazing. But today we didn’t have the best of experiences, we ordered our food and when bringing us the food the gentleman dropped a portion of chips from our plate. I understand that accidents happen but we then proceeded to finish off our meal and no other chips were given. We had to ask the staff twice to then be brought them about 45 mins later after everyone was finished. Normally a great restaurant and I would highly recommend to others. Especially the milkshakes.

Stopped by for lunch while passing as we had been pleased with our last meal here (see previous review) but was seriously disappointed that the fish and chips was not available as there was 'no fish'. Partner was happy with her panini, but my steak pie with chips and beans was final. I've had better school dinners. The chips tasted of cooking oil and the pastry tasted of margarine. No one at any time asked whether we were happy with our meal, though staff passed our table a number of times. On the positive side the price was very reasonable, but I would happily have paid more for something better. I won't be going back.

Until now I have been very happy to visit Powmill Milk Bar. Today however I witnessed staff ignoring social distancing rules. One staff member was hugging a customer who she seamed to know. To make matters worse she emeadiatly started taking food to customers with no attempt to even wash her hands. I'm sad to say I did loose my temper but people are dieing from covid and this does not help.

I visited today with a friend and his dog for the first time. The staff were really welcoming and helpful to human and canine alike. They wore masks for our entire visit and they took everyone's details for track and trace. Social distancing was being adhered to and they had clearly marked out the distances on the floor and had screens in place. Hand sanitiser and wipes available to all.Good coffee and the food was excellent too. Will be back. The only unfortunate thing was having to witness a "loss of temper" today from a male customer which came across as an uncalled for attack on a young member of staff who was clearly seen as an easy target.Please, everyone is trying their best in difficult times, especially small businesses when it's very busy. People are only human. If you have an issue be an adult and talk respectfully to the management about it, who can resolve things. Or give us all some peace and don't go out to eat. A local woman stood in to defend the young member of staff - lady I don't know you but good on you. She was told to "f**k off" by the customer who was complaining. Charming behaviour...He then proceeded to go and eat his food anyway? I came here to leave a balanced review as this place is a wee gem and doesn't deserve to get grief like this.

I had lunch here after doing some hikes around Fife and investigating Bandrum Tower. The building doesn’t look like much, it kind of reminded me of a highway stop in a 60s American movie. Inside, there’s lots of Covid precautions in place, staff cleaning tables, masks, shields between tables and hand sanitizers etc.There’s an excellent range of options for food and an incredible range of desserts. I got the Vegetarian Breakfast option with a Latte. The latte was very good. The vegetarian option came with a fried egg, mushrooms, baked beans, toast, potato scones and 2 vegetable sausages. The only complaint was the mushrooms were a bit dry, but a bit of butter, they were fine. Everything on the plate was nice, especially the scones, which were moist.The service was excellent, friendly and no complaints about that. As other reviewers have mentioned, the prices are expensive for what it is. I suppose that’s because Powmill Milk Bar is out of the way. Still, I would probably stop here again if I’m in the area.

We visited yesterday, the place was busy but we didn't wait too long for a table. Placed our order and got our drinks straight away, however by the time our food arrived drinks were nearly finished (and we were drinking slowly..). The toilets are in dire need of an upgrade, the toilet seat was wooden and the paint was coming off.. I tend to judge a place by the standards of the toilets so I was disappointed.

Came in with my husband and parents for lunch and it just wasn’t worth the money. Queued and ordered our lunch then took the drinks and cakes to our table, our food took so long we had finished our drinks by the time it came. The bread the sandwiches were made from was brick solid, we had ham and mustard and they couldn’t even butter the bread. The sandwiches come with salad and crisps with the option to pay extra and add on soup, so I did. But when my sandwich came out I ended up with two hard bits of bread with no butter, half filled with ham and mustard - it was so dry and a small bowl of soup...so I paid extra to receive less because I didn’t even get my salad or crisps. This happened to three of us, luckily my husband went for a hot option. Definitely not worth the money...rubbish food and service, I will not be back.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. The Milk bar was very busy but the staff were friendly and efficient. Not too long to wait for our food and it was very reasonably priced. Nice salad and crisps to go with our toasties. Very enjoyable.

I stopped off for a coffee and a scone a couple of weeks back. It's a bit confusing as you enter as it wasn't clear whether they were doing table service or counter service - I may have missed some important signage. I stood there for a while with staff at the counter steadfastly ignoring me until I asked about the system. I sat down in the sofa area with my coffee and scone (which incidentally was a bit dry). No-one took my contact details, which is terrible as it is now mandatory for sit-in customers. I won't be back anyway until I know that they are taking Covid precautions seriously.

Had takeaway pizza staying at campsite opposite, was fully loaded with lots of topping, thoroughly recommend spicy one

I have been here a few times, first with the cycling club I'm in and today with my wife. We only stopped for coffee and cake. The staff are very friendly and service was quick. Chocolate cake; excellent, Carrot cake: excellent.If you've ever driven through Powmill and wondered what the Milk Bar is like, wonder no more; go, eat cake!

Visited the milk bar today and unfortunately I will not be returning. I cannot comment on the food as I didn’t stay long enough to eat anything. I was waiting in the queue I noticed a waitress attempting to clean a table after a couple had left. I was horrified to observe that The cloth barely touched the table. No attempt was made to wipe the chairs. Obviously cleanliness is of the upmost importance in the catering industry at this difficult time. I did not expect such a halfhearted approach to hygiene during this pandemic. Appalling!!!

An amazing place which has friendly staff & a vast choice of food to pick from. Whether it's a full on lunch or just coffee & cake. Everything is made fresh & is value for money. You'd be a fool not to try this place.

we had been in this place many years ago and we weren't very impressed then, however things have obviously changed a great deal. Great place for a stop whether for a quick coffee or even better a lunch. Great variety and good service. Wish I had had room for a cake but we will be back to make sure we do try something. well priced.

Stopped for a snack and was happy with the delicious soup and sandwich combo. My partner was equally well pleased with her mushrooms on toast. Prices are very reasonable and service cheerful - it's just a shame they don't have better premises. If you're a tourist don't go expecting a traditional Scottish cottage-style farmhouse restaurant. This is more like a transport cafe in a shed. Still, a great place for a quick pit-stop coffee, snack or meal.

Busy wee restaurant just on the edge of powmill, collectables shop next door also worth a look. Popped in to see if we could get lunch, a few tables left, plenty of turnover of tables while we were there. Macaroni cheese and a tuna melt toastie made while we waited, lovely food both with tasty side salad and also nachos with toastie. We also bought cakes to take out separately, very nice, would pop in again if passing

Had a couple of coffees and choice of their large range of cakes. All very nice with friendly staff.

Came here to meet a friend for brunch. The menu is fantastic for some cosy Sunday food, we had the Hebredian eggs (eggs benedict with black pudding rather than ham) and it was reasonably nice. The poached egg was cooked to perfection, although the dish overall was bit on the salty side and the hollandaise sauce felt more like runny egg yolk. We grabbed a few cakes from the tempting display before we left, to take away. However, I noted that a large number of these were bought from Costco, not baked in-house. I took a few tarts and a slice of tray bake from the home-baked items. All were nice. I would certainly come back to try their huge sausage rolls and tasty looking milkshake in future.

Excellent, the service and food is of a high standard, and the baking is unbelievable. I have been coming here since I was a very young child and just recently started visiting again and I must say I was not disappointed.

We meet friends for a lunch time treat . This has been our first visit for years . Powmill Milk Bar is set in peaceful surroundings with ample parking and has a traditional feel inside . You are made welcome by staff members and then the food experience begins . There is something for everyone with multiple choices off options . Your food is made fresh on ordering but well worth the wait . I would recommend that you try the food for yourself . We will definitely go back

Warm friendly and entertaining welcome from very chatty waiting staff. Lovely cup of tea, ice cream and cakes.

Fabulous find !We stopped for coffee but food looked so good we had lunch, washed down by lovely coffee and yummy cake.Will definitely pop in the next time we are passing.We visited the most amazing second hand/ antique shop next to milk bar.Fabulous find

Dog friendly, very tasty snacks/lunches. Great stop off after a long drive or walk. Food was well priced and portion sizes were very good.

Nice place for lunch or afternoon tea. Serves hearty foods as well as cakes and scones. Good portions. Dog friendly

Excellent restaurant, which has a dog friendly area. The soups and mains are delicious. The desserts however, look much better than they taste. Would definitely recommend... and the added bonus is the beautiful drive to get there. Xx

Great breakfast well cooked homey atmosphere Highly recommended you visit for lunch or snack or pop in for cuppa enjoy a lovely selection of cakes and goodies

We found this by accident last year and this year we made it part of our trip. We were made so welcome and the quality of the food is outstanding. A breakfast to die for and a real cake heaven as they have everything.

This place clearly has some great things on the menu, many of them home made. However, the surroundings didn’t match up to the menu. The tables looked like they needed new tops and were a tad tacky.

My first impression was that the place needed a good clean. The condiments on the table looked dirty, the table was grubby and sticky.

We dropped in for a coffee and enjoyed a freshly cooked filled roll it wasn’t expensive and the friendly staff made it an enjoyable visit.

Stopped by for a quick coffee, haven’t been to the milk bar for years. Husband told me I had to go inside as the cakes looked very inviting. Had to buy two to takeaway, they were soooo delicious, just as well we live in London and it’s too far to just pop in.

We dropped in to the Milk Bar on our way back from Glasgow to Fife for a mid afternoon snack.

It’s been years since I’ve been here and it seems that some money has been spent on the inside seating areas, but a shame that the garden centre at the side is no more.

Popped in here for a cake whilst looking for something to do for the day. Been a few times when I was young but didn't really know what it was like now. Ended up ordering lunch. Really good menu suitable for everyone.

Delightful place. Food great and fantastic array of delicious cakes and sweet treats all at very reasonable prices. I particularly recommend the milkshakes! Dogs welcome too.

Son and I popped in for lunch with our westie pup after checking trip advisor for dog friendly cafe options. Few years since I've been here, remember being brought here by my mum and dad. Excellent lunch waffles/bacon for son and posh beans toast for me - hearty tasty food, son also had the best milkshake ever...No room left to try impressive array of cakes, another time. Off to rumbling bridge for afternoon explore, paddle and dog walk.

Had a visit today, the first in many years. I used to love visiting here as a child. There is a wide menu available, although the table menus don’t reflect this. We didn’t know to check the boards above where the cakes are. The food was really tasty and presented well. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful too. A huge selection of cakes and all a good price. Will definitely be back. The antique shop next door is also a little gem and definitely worth a visit.

I and my family had previously visited Pow Mill over approximately forty years. It was famous far and wide for it's home baking. In conversation the name came up again and along with my wife, my son and his partner we decided to try out the cafe for our sunday meal. At a few minutes past four we were advised that the kitchen was closed. We decided to have sandwiches instead but no. "We can't make sandwiches." All that was available were small quiches, sausage rolls and cakes. We asked for the savouries to be heated but were told the kitchen had been cleaned and could not be used. We settled for them cold but spent the hour before closing being reminded that the cafe would be closing soon. All in all totally disappointing. It's a shame when a highly successful business changes hands after many years that standards drop so much that no one can make so much as a sandwich or put a sausage roll in a microwave oven. I nor the rest my family certainly wouldn't consider returning.

Spent a week in a holiday cottage nearby. We’ve visited Powmill Milk Bar twice in the week and we’ve had two excellent lunches here.

The breakfast my husband had was really tasty. Beautiful toast. Lots of butter. Good produce. Soup was absolutely delicious. Breakfast Roll with soup was a bit disappointing. Would prefer some nice chunky bread. Apart from my roll everything was perfect. Will definitely go back.

We stopped off for a snack & coffee Powmill is just the perfect place to do so. Fantastic sandwiches and cake.

Stopped for a sandwich to take away , quite frankly their home baking might be good but sandwich difficult to eat , old cheese and no butter - will not stop again !!

Brilliant place. Staff very welcoming. Food & bakes all very fresh! Range is superb and covers everything to suit the Scottish weather! Don’t forget to try their amazing monster shakes, delicious!
