Rhubarb Lime Delicatessan & Coffee Shop in Stirling

Cafe with a fine deli... Had soup and sandwich... Wonderful fresh food... Great portion size and brill coffee... Been in a few times and can highly recommend... Family run and try their very best to pleade all the time.

We chanced upon this cafe. What a lovely treat! We sat outside and were had our tea in china cups and saucers. The biscuits were delicious too!

The pavlova with fresh strawberries & blueberries was amazing! Excellent coffee to pair with it. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. We’d love to go back.

It's amazing how many times a simple soup and sandwiches can go wrong. But, no worries at Rhubarb Lime. Nice atmosphere, great and friendly service, amazing value for money and simply terrific food. We will return.

This charming cafe with lovely staff is a favourite place. Staff are lovely, very helpful. It is a venue for locals and travellers alike. Easily found , in the Main Street in Kippen, we always make time to call in. Great coffee and unbeatable scones. We also bought some delectable apple and almond cake to take home. Cyclists obviously see it as a necessary place to restore them for storming the hills! Highly recommended.

Stopped off for a quick coffee/tea and had a bacon roll with berry pavlova for afters. Absolutely wonderful. Food was simply sublime. Shabby chic old crockery just fitted the surroundings perfectly. Excellent friendly and attentive staff and service. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. If you are passing through Kippen you must stop here. We will definitely be back.

First visit post lockdown - just as good as always. Baked potatoes were delicious and there was some very tempting baking on offer - tiffin for me today. Great selection of gifts and wine, all with great service. Thank you!

Been so cautious about going out in the current climate but popped in at the weekend. Couldn’t have been made more welcome and felt totally safe as they had thought of everything. Great to get back and enjoy marvel coffee and food and of course I was tempted by the great selection of wines. Thank you all

Rhubarb Lime has been great during the Covid-19 pandemic - queuing on a Sat for cake and wine has become a highlight of the weekend for those of us who are still working. Shona has also been delivering afternoon teas and making up gift bags with wine and lots of sweet and savoury treats - I was lucky to have one recently and it was fantastic. Greg is always on hand to recommend wine for gifts or meals and we have tried a lot of nice wine which we wouldn't normally go for. it will be nice when things get back to normal but until then long live Saturdays.

Loved coming through for a special uplift. We were on a time limit so couldn't spend as long as we wanted there. Coffee was excellent. Staff very friendly and more than happy to help in any way. Had lockdown not happened I would have been back for food, more coffee and wine. Wish I had this place on my doorstep. Will need to wait for afternoon tea for our next visit.

Great place for lunch or coffee & cake. Service with a smile! Have a fine selection of wines and spirits to purchase and also high quality range of food stuffs from round the world. A selection of greeting cards and small gifts available. We enjoyed lovely big cappuccino and I had beautiful lemon cake & husband had coffee cake mmmm!!

Had a lovely lunch here today. The Gluten Free Pancake with Bacon and maple syrup was excellent and the fish board my husband had was also excellent. Lovely staff too! Well worth a visit!

Once again, an excellent experience lunching at Rhubarb Lime.An excellent menu with a wide range of options for every palate which is fortunate seeing as our son (who has autism) is very particular about what he eats. Most sandwiches available offer a wide range of fillings, however, our son is a very plain eater and asking for a very plain cheese sandwich with a side order of crisps was no problem at all to the staff. This he followed with the huge slab of chocolate cake. We didn't request a huge slice, however, the staff were so accommodating and he was naturally delighted with the attention he received. I had a seafood platter with the choice of seafood readily available on display for me to choose from. My husband had a veg & goat's cheese panini and we both had a mug of the soup of the day (carrot & coriander) - again, very appetising and filling.We are looking forward to our next visit. Always a very worthwhile experience.

Lovely wee cafe and deli in Kippen with friendly staff and a great lunch/snack menu. The mine pie and cream was glorious. Some lovely wines, cheeses and cakes for sale too!

What a find. Amazing simple well presented food in a lovely friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the platters, duck pate was just amazing. Some lovely food packages which make great Xmas presents along with an extensive wine collection. Wish this was my local cafe.

5 of us visited for lunch. The atmosphere was very relaxed with lovely pleasant staff. Lots of choice on the menu. I had a baguette & my friends all had pate selections. Lots of scrummy looking cakes too. Would highly recommend.

Saying nearby so had a walk to Kippen. Didnt want to go in the pub so went to the cafe, there were 5 of us and 2 dogs, luckily it was dry as we had to sit outside, nice picnic benches to sit at but cold and damp, would be better if they provided something to sit on.Apart from that the staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. Would recommend but maybe if you have a dog wait until summer or take a blanket to sit on.

Stopped off with friends during a Sunday morning cycle and loved this place. Staff were so welcoming and kind. Tables inside and outside and great scones and cakes! Locals were engaging and chatty. We’ll be back.

We stopped in for lunch and there is quite a good selection on offer. The tomato and lentil soup was excellent but the bread was just ok. The coffee and scone was very good.

Been going there periodically for a number of years. Usually go to buy wine and the choice and advice is marvellous. Always have coffee and food while I am there and have never been left anything other than totally happy. A great team

Stopped in for a wee sugar rush and enjoyed amazing coffee and walnut cake with a fab latte. This is a wee hidden gem and the customer service is second to none. The staff found out it was my husbands birthday and put a wee candle on his slice of cake and sang happy birthday to him. Such a special treat so kind. It’s these little personal touches that make this little deli so special. Thanks guys

Excellent little eatery/deli with a fair deal of personality. We had perfectly acceptable sandwiches (including with gluten-free bread) and good coffee. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a coffee or lunch if you're travelling west out of Stirling.

Lovely little cafe with outside tables. Friendly service and wonderful scones. Interesting range of deli .

An excellent deli cafe with personality. Food never disappoints and the fantastic team is just the icing on the exceptional cake(s)!

Met up with family for bacon rolls and coffee/tea. They resrved a table for us in this compact wee cafe and were very accommodating about two sets of us coming from different locations to meet up and for at least one group to be late.

This local family-owned and run cafe/deli is a delight!

..friendly little cafe/shop - great food, friendly staff - great choice and value - well worth a visit if passing through.

Myself and the other half had another great lunch at Rhubarb lime.

Where to start.The service is always out of this world to the super friendly staff and also the best fresh cakes and quality produce provided

This is a superb cafe for coffee, lunch, chat, reading the papers and generally taking 'Time out of the world and intae Kippen'. The choice of food is excellent and of a very high standard with all baking homemade, so is really tasty. Scones are the best! Can't recommend enough.

Can't express enough how great this place is... best tasting Coffee, Bacon rolls, Cake, Bread, Sandwiches, Platters and a very large selection of Wine. If you are visiting this area, make sure you call in, you will not be disappointed. Great staff, Great place...

My wife and I went to the Café having been there several times before and had a good experience. When we were seated we were given menus immediately which was a good start. However, we had to wait 20 minutes to be asked what we wanted. During that time, all other customers had been provided with their meals but not us. We noticed that for that 20 minutes 2 of the serving staff were occupying a table and having lunch. Once they had finished they came to us and took our order. The food was fine and suited our needs.

This is a superb coffee stop/ lunch break venue/ afternoon tea eaterie, which serves excellent scones, marvellous home cooking. My friends and I go walking regularly around the beautiful Kippen countryside, but before we walk we have to have a coffee and a bacon roll! These rolls are the best!( so much so, that we awarded the staff with the prestigious “Bacon Roll Of the Year” trophy. They also do fabulous homemade soup, and a selection of filled rolls sandwiches and ciabattas. Yummy! Their home baking is a treat......try their scones with jam and cream! Out of this world!

Visited Rhubarb Lime for the first time today and will certainly return. This is a small cafe, in a little village, but it has an excellent range of first class food. I was with a friend and we chose a deli platter and a fish platter. You had the option of several foods to make a platter of your choosing. After we had lovely cream strawberry sponge and a delicious fruit square. The white wine I had with my lunch was so good that I bought a bottle to bring home with me along with a bottle of red wine which was recommended. The range of wines they stock at Rhubarb Lime are first class. I also purchased a jar of whisky marmalade and some greetings cards. The staff were all extremely pleasant. It was Kippen gala day which was lovely event, stalls, music, etc. and it’s great to see a small community put on such an outstanding event.

My family were staying in nearby Mains Farm Wigwams and wedecided to stop by in Kippen on our way home. We pulled up to Rhubarb Lime on what was a beautiful sunny day and the cafe was bright, cheery and cosy, with lots of local produce for sale. I like to see local business' support each other so this was a nice touch. We had a drink and a cake each- I had the lemon cake which was lovely and moist, my oldest son had a chocolate chip muffin (decorated with an egg design on top which was apt for Easter time) which he said was very tasty and full of chocolate, my other son had Victoria sponge which he said was delicious and my daughter and husband had a scone each. The scones were still warm from the oven and they both raved about the jam which accompanied it. The menu is compact but executed well, other diners seemed pleased with their food. The staff were friendly and helpful and food was reasonably priced. All in all, this place was a great wee find and I'm looking forward to returning when I'm back in the area.

Wonderful food here - really enjoyed your macaroni cheese. The sardines on toast are the best! Cakes and tray bakes excellent!

Came here for a bite to eat whilst out a drive. Staff were incredibly friendly and very generous giving us plenty of chat and being very polite. Food was out of this world and I even gave told the chef how good it was. Place was spotless and had a very homely feel throughout in regards of the decor and also the food. Will 100% be back and my family have also told me they will be going. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Wot a fantastic little place we pass by 2/3 times a month, Cappuccino and roll in bacon unbelievable the best in Scotland and the staff are great well done

I visited RhubarbLime with a few friends on Sunday afternoon and I couldn’t praise it enough. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were lovely also! Couldn’t recommend it enough, and will most definitely be back very soon.

Went for lunch with a group of friends and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was super fresh and could be tailored to your own tastes which was fantastic. Staff were lovely and helpful!!

What a hidden gem in the little village of Kippen!!

I wasn't sure if this was a deli or cafe from the outside but went in anyway. Surprise! A brilliant cafe, great home cooked good, reasonable prices and helpful staff. Went by our waitresses recommendations and had the tartan platter for sharing. Really delicious as was the soup of the day. Thank you! Will be back.

Fresh food, in a small packed restaurant, took a bit of time with the order and at the pay in till at the end but otherwise this is the place to eat in the area. It also seems to be a place to sample wine on special occasions!

This is my local deli and it never disappoints. Excellent cheese, cooked meats, wine, biscuits, etc to take away. The wine is of a very high standard that you will not find for miles! The coffee is strong and they will make it to your taste. The tray bakes and cake are a problem for me in that I cannot resist! Excellent soups, sandwiches and platters. Thanks for all your hard work in making this an outstanding place to visit!

Alway a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Lovely food and plenty of choice. Friendly and welcoming staff. I would prefer they stocked more local/Scottish products, as some of the jam I saw came from England. However, maybe they aren't able to source for the demand. I don't drink coffee but am told it is good.

Nice stopping off point after Stirling castle. Cute and cozy with freshly baked cakes and bread. We got some sandwiches and cheese platters. All were very good and great service.

Our annual visit to Rhubarb and lime ,this time to experience a tour of Italian wines. As allways they were excellent and the accompanying food just great, especially the banoffee cheesecake 😋 Thanks to all the staff for a great night

Fantastic evening taking us through the wines iof Italy. Highly recommended, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. The food is great as well.

Lovely coffee and cakes and very friendly staff. Went here while waiting to check in at the Cross Keys .

We live in Kippen and are so thankful to be in walking distance of such a great facility. Rhubarb Lime is a cafe/deli/wine shop all rolled into one and the only place in the local area that sells good quality fresh veg. Greg and Shona regularly host wine tasting evenings served with delicious food - last Friday's Beef en Daube was so delicious, my partner and I just about licked our plates clean! The wine selection was excellent too. Highly recommended for coffee, cake or a light lunch if you are in the area - you can be sure of a warm welcome.

One again, a lovely experience in Rhubarb Lime. Clean, comfortable surroundings, courteous staff and excellent fayre. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area - you won't be disappointed.

Popped in again for coffee and cake. Americano was fab and the Apple and cinnamon scones to die for!! Always worth a visit 😀😀

My wife and I popped in for a late lunch and had a pleasant time. The food was tasty and the service was friendly. I particularly enjoyed my coffee. The cost was very reasonable. I'd recommend it for a lunch stop.

We are regular visitors to this fab wee deli and coffee shop. Had a super lunch today with piping hot coffees and the best hot chocs in the area for the kids. Service with a smile and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. A superb selection of wines is also available with plenty of advice from Greg if you need help choosing. Keep up the great work RL!

Took my wife & son here a couple of Sundays ago. We had a smashing lunch, all freshly made from the deli counter. When through conversation they realised we were there for my wife’s birthday, they brought her cake with candle & the whole place sang “happy birthday”! The sommelier also brought her a glass of wine (they have an amazing selection!) too. All in all, a fantastic experience which I would highly recommend.

Popped over for a lunch as it was half way for both parties.

Hands down best deli in Stirlingshire! Anti pasti platters are to die for as well as all the other tasty treats on offer. Whether it be wine or coffee you have to try this place. Greg and Shona are lovely people who genuinely care about...

I ordered a bottle of wine in the United States as a gift that I could not find in the country. I placed the order being the only one left in stock. Three weeks later I still had no confirmation of the order being processed...

Great little cafe just off the A811 Stirling to Dumbarton road. Come off at the Kippen roundabout and up the hill to find a great little cafe/deli/vintner. Very welcoming. Regard it as either a break on a journey or as a destination itself (very popular...

I visited Rhubarb Lime for the first time a couple of weeks ago with a friend and her daughter and...

Everything is good about this lovely deli and coffee house. We go out of our way to visit a couple of times every week. Top class coffee. Fantastic bacon rolls, soup, cakes etc. Really nice atmosphere and an outstanding level of personal service from the charming staff. Highly recommended.

Great place for coffee, cakes and food. The staff are really nice and friendly. The cafe is a real suntrap and so lovely and warm. Nice seating outside too.

Delicious food and drink. A lovely place to spend an afternoon with an extensive wine collection. I highly recommend it!

Good cakes, friendly staff...nice wine collection. Coffee was a bit weak - next time I will ask for a double shot.

Another great lunch here. Lovely fresh soup and food. Great portions and choice. Shona and Greg are great hosts and the staff are really helpful and friendly. Greg had great wines to taste and to buy and lots of local produce .

Conduciendo por el país cuando nos encontramos con este maravilloso pequeño almacén y delicatessen. Detenido en mirar y terminamos teniendo un almuerzo muy sabroso y una conversación con el propietario y algunos de los lugareños. Los postres son para morirse y la tienda de vino en la parte de atrás es la pena.

Caminamos regularmente en y alrededor de Kippen desde una aldea vecina. No se me ocurriría pasar una oportunidad de parar aquí para un refresco como nuestro camino parada. Muy informal y relajado entorno para arrancar, relajarse con café, pasteles y prensa lo que no gusta. El personal es atento y amable siempre.

We quite often end up here after a walk/ drive in the hills above. Always such a high standard. Staff are lovely and lots of interesting things for sale. Great soup venue!

Stopped in today on the recommendation of people we know and had lunch. The BLT created in a brown/wholemeal roll was lovely and fresh. The bacom is sourced locally and is very nice. We followed up with a scone. Hot and fresh, saved with the best strawberry jam I have had in a long time, and also, clotted cream. Yummo.It is a lovely little (nb: little so book ahead if there a few if you or if you have a tight timeline) place with great food and service to match. The strawberry and blackpepper jam is available to purchase (yes I did) as are other little delights.A worthwhile stop I would happily recommend.

We only stoped because we had it recommended to us . Great place food was fantastic as was the coffee I had . Well priced and very friendly family business.If your into wine then there was plenty on sale as well as ale beers to take away. We will definitely be back and are just looking for an excuse to go back to that area

Fantastic little café which offers great food and wine.....staff so friendly and helpful. Passed by with friends and stopped for a light bite.....food fantastic!! I would highly recommend this gem of a café and will definitely be back!!

Six of us had a wonderful Italian wine tasting afternoon at Rhubarb Lime with copious amounts of wine washed down with wonderful cheeses and meats not to mention the handmade oatcakes from Fife. Kindly collected and returned to Stirling station. Fun, laughter was had by all ....thank Greg and Shona for supporting the Tumbling Lassies charity in this way. Jo et al

Dropped scones create confusion in this part of the world since they are called pancakes. We were passing by from a hospital visit in Stirling and enjoyed the coffee, the freshly baked and substantial fruit scones and the busy, purposeful atmosphere of this charming, friendly cafe. The goodies were tasteful and of evident high quality and although the greeting cards were perhaps a little bit incongruous and expensive - however the opportunity to buy 4 nice ones for friends forthcoming birthdays suggest that it is a worthwhile aspect of this little gem, carved out of a newsagents shop.

One of twenty people after a 9 mile walk excellent fast service exactly what was neededCoffee was really good lovely selection of home baking

20 members of Stirling Rambling Club visited after 9 mile walk to enjoy coffee and cake sitting in the sunshine on the pavement table and chairs. Great, fast, efficient service from the lady owner, her husband and staff. Would recommend.

About 20 of our rambling club descended on the Rhubarb Lime Coffee Shop in Kippen. Good coffee, selection of home baking, but the speed and courtesy with which we were served was great!! Will certainly be back.

Ate here recently whilst travelling to Sterling. My husband had an excellent roll with bacon which was delicious. I had toast which was a delicious type of bread with butter and jam. We shared a chocolate cup cake which was also amazing. Many thanks to all.

Superb scones, wonderful atmosphere and made to feel very welcome. The cafe is also a well stocked deli with an excellent selection of local breweries beer and good quality wines

Great way to the end of a walk from Gargunnock to Kippen.. Coffee and scone perfect as always.. Just love going over for a cuppa or a really fresh Deli Sandwich

This is a wee gem of a cafe, they have really got it right, the food is superb, and the service is excellent, the couple who own it are just the nicest people you've ever met, they always try and find you a table even when it's busy , no wonder it's so popular, in fact when My wife and myself were in there just before xmas all we went in for was a nice coffee, and as I was leaving the guy who owns it very kindly gave me a free half bottle of wine away with me! What a lovely thing to do, other cafe / bistro owners should visit this gem to see that's how to treat customers! So next time you are in kippen give yourself a rear treat and pop in for a tasty bite to eat

Very first visit to this deli. Had a fantastic lunch. Homemade white onion soup was delicious with bread. Then cheeseboard my friend had amazing pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Had coffee and a glass of wine. Was the best lunch we've had in a long time. The staff were very attentive but unobtrusive and said if there was something not to our liking they would change no trouble!!!!!!! You don't get that very often nowadays. First time there but will be back very soon had a great experience. Well done. Five stars

Affamati siamo usciti dalla strada principale per trovare un posto dove mangiare e ci siamo imbattuti in questo bellissimo posticino dove appena entri ti sentì subito a casa.Ordinato il piatto del giorno che consisteva in hamburger accompagnato da insalata, carne tenerissima e cotta a puntino! Da consigliare

This cafe has improved no end under new ownership. They sell fresh Bavarian Bakehouse bread every day, have an excellent beer and wine selection and good qualkity simple lunches or takeaways: soup, salads, quiches, sandwiches. The service is quick and friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. High quality food and drink. We called in on the was to Blairgowrie and were so impressed that we called in again on the way back. We had lunch both times and bought various items from their vast range of interesting stock. Although the staff were very busy, they took time to make sure that we were properly attended to. Well worth going off your route to visit.

Visit Rhubarb Lime on a regular basis. By far my fav deli/cafe in town. Greg and Shona are both so friendly and helpful. Myself and my sister last visited late afternoon on Saturday 10th September. There were quite a few customers in but Greg and Shona still made sure they spoke to us. Shona taking our order for some yummy lunch (antipasti and cake) and Greg giving us some great vino recommendations. Only wished I hadn't brought the car so I could have had a wee taste! Was going to pick up my regular bottle of Moscatto and picked up some lovely gin and rose lemonade cocktails for a night with the girls (so yummy).Rhubarb lime - great atmosphere, tasty food and delish vino! Love it so much and will recommend to anyone that will listen! ❤️

We went for a coffee and tea after pleasant walk around the village. Coffee, tea and selection of cake very good. A bit cramped on the interior, however picnic seats with umbrellas were available weather permitting immediately outside.

An unexpected find in a lovely village. Stopped off for lunch and very impressed with the food, service and coffee. The cafe itself has a very laid back atmosphere, helped by the friendly staff who although very busy still made time to chat and welcome customers. I opted for the prawn salad, and I wasn't disappointed. Tiger prawns were very tasty and nicely presented. Of course I had to have a meringue which had traces of white chocolate and raspberry. It was a treat to find quality coffee in such a remote place. There is a great selection of wines with help on hand to help you choose. Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Visited for lunch and was not disappointed. Had the special which was bacon, avocado & grapefruit salad - great flavours. Liked it so much have made it at home but mine lacked something! Home baking was excellent. Nice homely place where you would be happy to sit on your own having cuppa & reading paper. Seemed very popular with the locals. Also great selection of goodies to buy. Staff very pleasant & knowledgeable about what they sell. Would recommend.

It was truly a surprise to find this little gem in such a drowsy insignificant little town. We took off to find a place to by some water and asked for a place to eat lunch. Rhubarb Lime turned out to be the perfect place. A small cafe with a counter in the front and a room in the back lined with shelves with wine and beer bottles, crackers and a wide variety of all sorts of edible things for sale. The food was good and the atmosphere pleasant. Well worth the detour.

Ran across Rhubarb and Lime while looking for somewhere to pick up lunch for a picnic in Loch Lomond. Excellent coffee and sandwiches (and the cakes looked even better!). Very friendly staff, and comfortable environment.

Visited this lovely coffee shop and deli on a nice sunny Saturday. Great spot for the locals and those slightly further afield. We cycled out from Glasgow and were well looked after, water bottles refilled etc. Lovely coffee and superb clotted cream scones. Nice to have some tables outside to sit and for those of you with a designated driver what a cracking selection of wines to have with your lunch or just to chill. Well worth a visit, we will be definitely be back.

Didn't have a full lunch, just coffee and cake. OK wouldn't rave about it but its fine for a quick bite. Staff very pleasant and the cake was lovely, is more of a shop than a coffee house but they have plenty of comfy chairs and tables and if the weather is nice you can sit outside. Good value for a snack and would go again if in the area

Attended a Spanish Wine-Tasting evening on 17th June, with other members of a local club. The hosts, Gregg & Shona, made sure that we had an excellent evening. Gregg gave excellent descriptions of each wine, while Shona cooked a fantastic meal (to soak up the alcohol). This was the second time I have visited for a wine-tasting and the experience was every bit as good as the first. In addition to the wines, they also stock a varied selection of craft beers, artisan food and also have a cafe. Just about the perfect mixture.

Fabulous wee restaurant, family run business. The owners provide excellent food with the appropriate wine served with each course.

We visited for a selection of Spanish wine tasting and tapas, food and drink was excellent. The hosts Gregg & Shona looked after us with Gregg educating us in the wine and Shona making sure we had enough to eat. Excellent night, recommended.

A great wine sampling evening inter spaced with tasty snacks in a very friendly atmosphere with a great group

Great food, friendly staff and probably the best coffee ever. Located in the village of Kippen off the beaten track, this is a little gem not to be missed. Great wine selection and I make no apologies for going back time after time.

Had a great night with a group for friends at a wine tasting ( which would sound highbrow unless you knew my friends! )Lovely food, great wine, and great service.Still not a convert to sherry though - no matter how chilled ( sorry Gregg) - but the other 7 wee rated were all fantastic! )

The kippen deli is a special place for lunch soup to die for and rolls and salads to keep you going till dinner always a lovely smile from all the staff and service is superbStop off its a dream you will want to go back honest

This was our first time visit to this café, delicatessen and coffee shop.A chilled and relaxing place with a welcoming atmosphere.The staff were lovely and they were very happy to chat to you about the history of the place and the beautiful village of Kippen itself. The food was all freshly prepared and of a very high standard both in taste and presentation and it was great value for money.If you or whoever you are with fancies a drink they have an amazing selection of wines and real ales. Kippen is only a 10 minute drive from Stirling so the next time you are up that way make sure visit this little hidden gem
