Skoosh in Stirling

Amazing wee cafe at the the gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The decor and atmosphere is warm and cozy. Very friendly and helpful staff, providing amazing food at great prices. Sit in, sit out or takeaway at the window. Facilities were also immaculate. We were staying at a local hotel and visited for breakfast, sitting inside before check in. Full Scottish breakfast was the best I've had, with especially good haggis and Lorne sausages. We then visited the next day for a breakfast roll to go, before heading home. Robert was also very helpful and knowledgeable about the local walks. Beautiful wee cafe and we can't wait to return.

Visited today with 2 golfing friends, we were all delighted with the friendly service and excellent quality brunch and very good value, would recommend to all.

Skoosh is an attractive little cafe and takeaway. From their good menu of hot and cold snacks etc we had a toasted sandwich and a panini. Both were nicely made and delicious. Service is lovely and prices most reasonable. In short - this is a cracking wee cafe.

What a lovely little cafe in the middle of a beautiful village. Quirky decor amazing food and the most friendly staff. Chatting to the lovely owner who gave us directions for a short walk to the castle. Loved the tea pot and cup we were served with so much we purchased one to take home! Definitely worth a visit if your in Drymen

Was lovely little place for some brunch, staff were lovely and extremely welcoming! Food was nice and fresh. Would recommend :)

Excellent breakfast! Great choices for breakfast (so be ready to make decisions) with traditional options and local options. Really enjoyed ours, especially the haggis. Also we liked the mural in the cafe of the West Highland Way. They do takeaway as well as eat in.

Lovely all day breakfast. Staff very friendly. Prices very reasonable! Plenty of choice on the menu and cakes looked lovely too.

You are able to choose what you want in their FULL breakfast options. Good value and great tasting. Good coffee. Quick service. Glad we found this place.

Lovely little place with nice matching tea pot and cup. Various chose of cakes and shortbread ... You can even have a porridge after 2 pm ! Staff really friendly. We played a chess game while having our tea break !

Outstanding breakfast. Delicious soft scrambled egg, tea properly served in a pot and cheerful service. Recommended.

Très bon petit-déjeuner Très bon accueil, déco sympa. Si vous êtes aux alentours de Balloch n'hésitez pas à vous y arrêter.

Absolutely perfect veggie breakfast and double roll. Lovely coffees. Friendly staff and nice decor, will definitely call in again. Thank you.

Lovely tearoom with great attention to detail. Good breakfast selection and quick service. Food was very tasty and tea was presented in lovely cup/pot combo. Good service and would definitely return.

We spent 3 nights in Drymen, and each morning, we purchased breakfast rolls from Skoosh, which were freshly prepared and absolutely delicious

My wife and I were walking the West Highland Way and found that I urgently needed to replace my boots as they fell apart just when you didn't need it. Stopped for our breakfast and the young lady that served us I asked for some advice on where I could replace my boots, she was so helpful and gave us some great advice on where to find a shop. The breakfast was first class great value and friendly service. I replaced my boots thanks to the young ladies advice which saved our trip.

A hidden gem, as a Tour Guide I often stop here with my guests, traditional Scottish food, great service and reasonably priced.

As a group of four with two dogs we received a warm welcome. Our breakfast orders were of excellent quality and well presented. Everything arrived quickly and our two dogs were offered biscuits and water. The cafe was decorated for Christmas in an over-the-top manner, and it felt like breakfast in Father Christmas' grotto, but this was part of the charm. We were visiting Drymen for a short holiday, but hopefully we will be back soon and will certainly return to Skoosh.

Lovely, warm and cosy cafe. Great for breakfasts, on the pricier side, but very fresh. Family friendly (we have 2 young children) and quick service

Ended up here rather by mistake, as road closed due to flooding. But what a pleasant surprise for breakfast - absolutely brilliant, great food, and pleasant staff. Only one wee complaint - I'd rather have links than Lorne sausages, unless in a roll, but that's just me!

We were booked in to the hotel across the road and decided against the breakfast there. Found this gem across the road. Beautiful wee cafe and the breakfast was fab. Staff were lovely and it was a perfect end to a great weekend.

Fantastic cosy cafe. Great food, friendly service. See the mural of the West Highland Way around the walls! Well worth a visit.

Situated on the Main Street in Drymen this is a small and very friendly cafe. I ordered a baked potato with tuna, and salad accompaniment. The potato was large and perfectly cooked, the tuna filling and salad were plentiful. The cost was very reasonable. My only small observation would be to include a ‘diet’ soft drink if possible, as we saw only the standard fizzy drinks on the menu.

Excellent chicken soup and sandwiches in a warm friendly little room. The Scottish breakfast was a bit meagre. Service was friendly. Try the coffee next door at Alfies.

We had a lovely breakfast here for one veggie and one non-veggie. Good choice on menu, reasonably priced food, prepared and served by lovely staff. Popped back for ice cream later that day. I also bought a teapot with cup and matching jug as a last minute present, which the recipient was delighted with - phew! Highly recommend.

This little quaint cafe in Drymen, Scotland was a very welcome find. Beautiful food. Fresh produce. Home baked cakes etc... exceptional friendly staff that go above and beyond to ensure you are pleased with everything. Very helpful and happy to give help and directions to some wonderful sights. They really were amazing people. Truly a must visit. A sincere and genuine welcome. Definitely go visit them you will go back...we did every morning! Thankyou skoosh you made our stay at balmaha very enjoyable.

Honestly the most amazing breakfast we have ever had Outstanding Will be travelling from my hometown regularly just to have this again Met the staff Nikki and Ailey … what lovely people and what lovely service And the fantastic cappuccino is an additional bonus Never pass by Skoosh if you are in Drymen it’s by far the best place in it Thankyou ladies your lovely food lovely service and the quirky surroundings are very much appreciated by us Thankyou Angela & Ricky .. ❤️

Been out for the morning cycling, stopped at Drymen, had a walk around and came across Skoosh, impressed by the outside sales point so decided to go inside. Had cheese and onion burgers which came with all the trimmings, it was delicious. Excellent service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you visit Drymen.

Great little cafe in Drymen. Good menu, plenty of choice, quality produce at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

After walking for hours from Milngavie along the West Highland Way in the pouring rain we were ready for a lunch and somewhere to shelter. We saw the signs for Skoosh and decided to give it a try. We arrived at the cafe with huge bags on our backs and dripping wet through so wasnt sure how we would be welcomed. Once we got inside the ladies in the shop could not do enough to help us. They took our bags, turned up the radiators and sat us down in the corner. We all ordered the home made soup and it was incredible. By far the best food stop we had along the entire West Highland Way. A nice hot coffee and a cake then we packed back up and got on our way. Huge thankyou from the four of us for looking after us that day. Without you we wouldnt have made it to Balmaha

Came here a couple of times for breakfast when staying nearby for a week. Great food, great value, warm welcome and dog friendly.

Amazing gem of a place . Had a beautiful breakfast in the beautiful little village . The girls who served us were super friendly as was the lady who cooked our breakfast . If your in the area this place of definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed x

Lovely little cafe with wide and varied menu. Very friendly staff, good service. Dog friendly. Raspberry and white chocolate scones - delicious.

Great food and great service, I'm local and always enjoy a wee trip to Skoosh!! Lovely fresh food in a nice environment. I would recommend to nay locals or tourists

Welcoming small cafe. Staff lovely. Breakfast excellent. Top quality ingredients. Good choice of sweet and savoury items. All on one level. Sit in or takeaway.

We came to Skoosh in 12/11/22. We came as a party of 6 and they very kindly accommodated us. The staff were attentive and looked after us our whole visit. The food was a highlight though - most of our party took advantage of the...

Lovely wee place, the breakfast was delicious and the staff so so friendly. It was so good we are going back tomorrow morning. Really reasonably priced and worth it for the empire biscuit!

Such a great place. Had a lovely breakfast you can choose exactly what you want then had a hot waffle with toffee sauce and ice cream. Took away some smashing lentil and bacon soup for tea. It was so tasty thank you. Bought some of...

Called by while walking the WHW. Nice little cafe, friendly people. Both had cheese toasty with salad. It was really nice.

So lovely for the first day's breakfast that we went back the 2nd day too (as did some other people we recognised). Welcoming and friendly and good choice of breakfast. We had the mini breakfast and bagel with eggs and bacon options day 1 and...

What a lovely place Skoosh is! Denise you were fabulous and also a fantastic, competent and fun host. My husband had the roll with links and loved it. I had poached egg on brown toast and the eggs were the best I’ve ever had. Nothing...

Very nice for a snack lunch with a wide menu of hot and cold food although we just had coffee and tea with scone and cake.

Lovely breakfast, nice surroundings and great staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious. Would make a point of calling in, if in the area.

Loved this little café in Dryman. Had scrambled eggs, and they had a gluten-free roll for me as well. That with an espresso and I was ready to go on my hike. Very cute little place. Highly recommended!

Great coffee, lovely staff and extra advice for visitors. Going back tomorrow for a bacon roll and more coffee. Recommended

I took my Mum out for her birthday today. We were going to have a picnic, but there was a drop of rain in the air, so when we happened upon Skoosh, we changed our plan. What a great decision this proved to be. The...

Excellent spot for breakfast . Scrambled egg and bacon on toast was delicious. Service was quick and efficient

Quality, Quantity and Quick. That sums it up. On thing which surprised me was a common fault in many cafes is when you order some food and tea, the tea comes first and lies there losing its heat then eventually the food arrives. Here the...

Highly recommend this cafe for breakfast. My accommodation wasn't offering breakfast, but Skoosh was a great alternative.

Yummy late breakfast. I had a full breakfast, wife had porridge with honey and strawberries. Very welcoming, allowing our dog to come in with us.

We were made very welcome and had the most lovely local produce at very reasonable prices honestly £6,95 for a full breakfast is just great. The food was most excellent. Quick service lovely people observing all safety procedures with a smile. The hand painted mural...

A fantastic little cafe the cheese and onion toastie was to die for! As was the cake selection. After walking 12 miles for section 1 of the West Highland Way this was the perfect lunch stop. I thoroughly recommend.

Wonderful little Cafe!! We ate here a couple of times as we were staying in Drymen. Freshly prepared food. Great breakfast items. Cakes lovely too. Just off the main A811 so take a little detour if your passing. The staff are really friendly and welcoming.

In my honest opinion, Skoosh offers the best breakfast on the West Highland Way. Lovely service, good prices and fabulous food!

Most amazing, home made cakes ever.... A MUST!! Service with a smile, and very helpful..... We will be back....

Drymen is a small village and lucky to have such an unassuming tearoom. The quality of the cream tea was superb and the staff friendly and helpful. Couldn’t resist returning the next day for another.

Had our last breakfast of an NC500 road trip here and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Friendly staff, great choice of breakfasts and, of course, great food when it was served... pretty much all you could need and at a reasonable price.

Found this little gem, friendly staff, excellent service and good quality food, couldn't find any fault, not that we were looking for any. Definitely going to call again very soon. Good selection on the menu, full breakfast recommended for the hungry ones but you may...

Stopped by for a drink and ended up having lunch and liked it so much returned the next day for coffee. Really friendly and welcoming, very clean and nicely laid out. Food was good quality and right little gem of a menu. So nice to...

Excellent pot of tea - and really beautiful rainbow crockery. I had a brie-and-cranberry panini which was most delicious, and a lovely toasted tea-cake. The staff were very friendly. Well worth the visit, just for the crockery alone!

Lovely find - food, drink and service were great! They also do dairy free milk for anyone with allergies! Would recommend!

service was excellent , friendly and polite the food was delicious and well priced great selection of cakes and crisps hot and cold beverages

Whilst staying at the nearby Buchanan Arms Hotel, we ate breakfast twice at Skoosh. Reasonably priced good food and great service. Recommended.

We have just had a beautiful breakfast this morning in Skoosh. French toast crispy bacon and maple syrup also poached eggs bacon and lorn sausage with teas and toast. Egg yolks were orange... Had to be free range too. Lovely place to have breakfast inside...

Were staying in the nearby hotel and enjoyed a nice coffee here with great service. Thank you so much.

A very welcome stop on the West Highland Way. Very friendly team. Good sized baked potato with sides.

Great experience,very friendly host , fresh food that was cooked to perfection. Definitely one of the best fry ups I have ever tried. Would highly recommend if passing through this little village.

I have visited a couple of times, food is always really nice & staff are friendly. Nice & clean .. 10/10

One of the best fry ups I've ever had! Not greasy at all, everything cooked to perfection, great price and service! We will be visiting again 👏

We stayed at the fantastic hotel opposite Buchanan arms However they had closed lunch service So advised is on this little gem Slightly over priced for what we ordered however it’s a captured Audience and you expect it Food was great Service friendly with out door seating

A small family owned cafe who have made a real effort to protect their customers and staff. Visited for lunch and had a lovely bowl of homemade acotch broth and a cup of tea. All tables well spaced with protective shields

Stopped to have some lunch on a visit to the area. The lunch was beautiful and the staff were lovely and very friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

We arrived, were met by lovely staff, shown to lovely tea room, with interesting wall painting of West Highland Way. Food very tasty and just what you need.bb

Stayed in Drymen for just the one night before heading up to Loch Lomond for a walk and we are so pleased we chose to come here instead of our continental hotel breakfast. With just a simple meal of coffee and a bacon sandwich for...

Visited here on our way to climb Conic Hill. Husband had a very tasty looking breakfast and I had a tea and scone. All very nice. Felt safe, tables well spaced out with clear screens between. Worth a visit!

Great food, great staff. Poppped in here after first day of West Highland Way. Sat outside as was sunny day, can see a lot of care is taken for customers. Food was great.

Staying in Drymen for 2 nights.. Popped in for breakfast. Happily sat inside. Absolutely gorgeous tea pots.. I'm coming back to buy some. Staff friendly and food is good. When visiting in future will pop for lunch.

We sat outside in the sunshine.My wife had 2 beautifully poached eggs and I had French Toast with bacon and maple syrup - a favourite of mine and rarely found on UK menus these days.. Excellent food and very freindly service. Very well controlled Covid...

We visited this cafe en route to Callander for brunch and it was lovely. I would definitely visit again if in the area.

What a lovely experieance we had at this family run cafe. An outstanding freshly cooked breakfast with all the elements you need to make a great meal. The staff were polite generous and super helpful, even finding other restaurants for us to visit. If you are in the area of lock Lomond pop in for a grand feed.

Have been twice now to this lovely wee cafe in Drymen. Superb service and superb food. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling in the area.

Our second visit to this lovely cafe. Staff go out of their way to assist and are very friendly. Tea and breakfast just delicious and filling. As following covid guidelines space is limited obviously, but there are 4 tables. We were a group of 4, a group of 5 came in and another table of 4 people. A table for 2 was available too. Thank you for your hospitality.

Popped into this place for a bit of brekkie before we left to go bak home good food and good service defo be bak

Went in as part of a group, staff were rude and abrupt. We were waiting for a table who were paying ready to leave. We were asked to wait outside and decided to leave as they spoke to another of our party quite rudely. Apparently environmental health were at their other branch, however there is an acceptable way to speak to paying customers, we did not experience this.

Petit établissement charmant pour déjeuner ou prendre un goûter. Tout est délicieux. Service très agréable.

Visited with my husband and had coffee and cake. We can recommend the empire biscuits and paradise slice; both were yummy. Generous cups of coffee too.

We visited this morning and had such a nice cooked breakfast. Veggie friendly. Nice staff. Really good value as well and quick service.

We always start our break in Loch Lomond by stopping off in Skoosh. Lovely little cafe, spotlessly clean, owners and their staff are all very friendly and the food is fresh and delicious.

I have passed this cafe many times but always ended up heading for Balmaha for meals. However, Balmaha is getting so busy that I decided to try Skoosh for a change. I could not have been more pleased that I did. My companion and I had French toast with bacon and maple syrup...DELICIOUS.The cafe itself is small but it is spotlessly clean and has an eye-catching mural depicting the West Highland Way.The staff were welcoming and very efficientand I can't wait to get back and try more of the dishes on offer!

Great street food takeaway Lovely takeaway sandwich shop . not cheap but nice Toasti, baked potatoes teas n coffee

We were camping and came in for a late breakfast, 2 vegetarian brekkies, porridge and waffles for the wee one! The staff couldn’t have been nicer to our son! Strawberries and honey on your porridge? Chocolate sauce and ice cream on his waffles!! He could barely walk out! The veggie brekkies were lovely and all reasonably priced! A lovely wee gem!! Will defo come back! Thank you!!

Beautiful breakfast here this morning during our weekend break to Scotland. Food beautifully cooked and everybody so warming and friendly. Highly recommend if in the area xx

Popped in for some take away sandwich to have later on the day. Lots to choice from my husband loved the selection of different home make cakes on offer. A** staff

Lovely fresh food. We had breakfast here 3 times. Friendly staff, joined by local customers, who were also friendly. Hope to be back!

stopped off for a quick snack whilst we were in Drymen for the day. It was a lovely wee tea room, very clean looking, all food looked lovely and the staff were quick and very friendly. We only had a few rolls and a cup of tea but it was lovely and prices reasonable.

We chose to eat in and to us it was dear... breakfasts started at £5.95 for 5 items but then you have to add a drink. 7 items was a pound more. We took the breakfast bap special at £4.60 I did ask for an extra topping but was curtly told if I wanted an extra item I could not have the special! Have had better food for a lot less money.Takeaway is a far better value option. Would go again with that option!

The best fresh sandwiches and coffee I’ve had in quite some time. Given that thee hotel I booked into didn’t have their restaurant open at all, and I’d just travelled from Yorkshire, I was in need of a decent lunch and coffee. What a lovely wee find.

Lovely breakfast excellent service and choice of food , will be back if I am in the area . Set us up all day .

My husband and I had a beautiful breakfast after a disgusting breakfast at our hotel . Great choice of food . This certainly set us up for the day and would absolutely definitely go back.

Small tearoom with 7/8 tables offering quality home cooked food from a limited menu but quality not quantity of choices Food also available to take away including Corolla ice creams catering for both the local community but also the diverse clientele passing through this village on route to Loch Lomond and beyond A little gem

A great place for lunch after a hard day's walking, or for breakfast to set you up for the day ahead.
