The Atrium Cafe Restaurant in Stirling

My first visit to Callander and at 3.15 I thought I'd go here for tea and cake. I was greeted by the waitress saying" We're not doing food". I explained I wanted tea, there were a few people at tables but I was seated far from them so that I felt even more alone. When the tea came it was a pot of hot water and a teabag in a sachet- such wasteful packaging- and it tasted of nothing! I regret not going to one of the other cafes along the street.

We took our two dogs in for lunch. Although they don’t do lunch for dogs the chef made some great square sausage that they loved. Our sandwich and goats cheese salad were fantastic. Great food and very helpful staff, would recommend highly!

Visited for lunch and what an excellent experience. Great choice on the menu and fantastic staff. Would recommend to anyone

Called hear for Breakfast on the way back from Glencoe on May 9th discovered they dont do breakfast only hot rolls , we ordered two bacon and egg rolls and asked for well done eggs, when our rolls arrived the bacon was burnt and the eggs hardly done, when I complained to the waitress, she replied {you asked for well done bacon} I relied I certainly did not,I asked for well done eggs. later a rather curt lady brought what we had asked for, no apology was offererd. In future we we use ; Taste of the Trossachs which is much much better but had opened later on that day.

My husband and I popped into the cafe for two pots of tea and also ordered a couple of empire biscuits. On receiving the bill which was £14.60 I was extremely taken aback to be charged £9 for the two biscuits. I mistakenly thought the biscuits would be less expensive than the cakes. Not so. No prices were advertised at the cake stand. This must change and prices clearly displayed. It’s downright robbery to charge £4.50 for an individual biscuit. To add to this the card machine wasn’t working and, after several attempts, my husband was asked if he had cash. He didn’t so had to find a cash machine. I mentioned to the waitress that there should be a deduction for the inconvenience but it was met with a stony silence and a couldn’t care less attitude. Won’t be back. I’ve noticed that no reviews get any feedback so it shows that the staff clearly don’t care about their customers.

I love coming here for some quiet time just me and my dog! The staff are always so kind and friendly and I really appreciate that. The soup is always amazing and I’ve been very adventurous since coming here and tasted different soups I normally wouldn’t, I can honestly say I have never been disappointed! I kinda wish I could buy the soup to take home also

Following on from my justifiably negative review of a few months ago, I feel it only fair to report on a recent revisit to The Atrium Cafe. The environment, the staff and the coffee were all excellent - customer service was delivered with a smile and a friendly chat and when we went back the day after our initial visit, we were greeted with 'do you want the same as yesterday'. Well done to the staff working on 28th and 29th December - it was a pleasure to be there.

Visited as a recommendation. Only stayed for a cup of tea but the staff were lovely and cakes looked wonderful. Only reason I didn't try the food was time. Would love to go back!

I was told when I arrived that multiple dishes could be made gluten free, however when I ordered a sandwich I was told it wasn’t bread but oatcakes instead. They had no gluten free bread at all. I ended up ordering soup which came with a side of oatcakes instead of bread. It’s not that difficult to keep some gluten free bread in case anyone needs it.

Been visitors when they were at Brig O’Turk, and also at Poppies. So glad finally managed to visit at their new location in Callander ( The Atrium). Food just as good as at previous establishments. Will definitely be back.

Got some coffee and a cranberry and brie sandwich. Sandwich was over £8 and consisted of the cheese and Cranberry inside 2 ordinary slices of what looked like supermarket style brown bread with a few crisps and a tiny bit of salad. Some nice crusty bread would have been nice. Bill about £12. Is a nice comfortable cafe but unfortunately very overpriced for what I received. Will look elsewhere for a quick bite.

We visited for a light lunch. Brie & cranberry sandwich and avocado open sandwich. Sandwich untoasted and avocado sandwich bland. Both grossly overpriced. £26 inc Tea & Coffee. Not an enjoyable experience, felt ripped off. Don’t recommend.

Oh my goodness, what a hidden gem! The food was amazing, we had fish and chips and scottish fish chowder. The service was brilliant, attentive and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff but the food is incredibly overpriced. Would recommend adding a side of some kind to the plate because right now if you order an open sandwich it's just one slice of bread with a couple of toppings and not what you expect for £10-12.

Lovely cafe which we have used many times. On this visit however, the staff seemed to be wanting to entertain themselves rather than provide a service and suitable environment for the customers. One particular staff member had an extremely loud (and annoying) laugh which was bearable whilst she was in the kitchen but then she, and it seemed all the other staff, congregated in the customer area and proceeded to have a loud laugh and a chat, joined soon by some of their children arriving after school. We felt more like intruders than paying customers - not a pleasant experience at all.

Lunched today with my 84 year old auntie - both ordered a sandwich and a coffee - quick service - sadly the bread was too thick for my auntie to eat, so was mainly left. My Brie and cranberry was not toasted so I couldn’t eat it , and there is no facility to toast at the restaurant (?!) The staff were unsure of whether they could help, when I said I wouldn’t be able to eat it - I was offered the option to purchase something else (already paying for the one I couldn’t consume) so I declined - perhaps I should’ve asked if it was toasted but overall the customer service was incredibly poor and at £25 for 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees it was disappointing. Nice, clean environment - but wouldn’t recommend.

Spacious, bright, welcoming and above an outdoor clothing shop in the middle of town. We chose to stop there for lunch. So far so good. A few simple kids options (fish and chips, sausage and mash etc) and some tasty sounding food for grown ups. Clearly sourdough based open sandwiches are a mainstay here. Again, all good so far. And mostly it was a pleasant experience. The kids were happy enough with their food. But the reason I give this place 3 stara and not more is the value for money of what I ate. It was chicken katsu with iceberg lettuce on sourdough with katsu Mayo and pickled onions. I though it sounded different and quite good and at £10.90 for lunch I expected something interesting. What I got was 5 strips of breaded chicken on an absolute mountain of iceberg lettuce over a fairly small slice of sourdough. To it's credit the katsu mayo tasted good as did the chicken strips. But you can't escape the fact this is half a chicken sandwich buried in amongst a mass of iceberg lettuce for nearly £11. If you're going to get generous with one ingredient in that meal I'd suggest the iceberg isn't the one to aim for. A second slice of sourdough, more chicken or something on the side could have made it feel like better value.

Visited for lunch while staying nearby. Nice looking entry to upstairs cafe with a lovely staircase. I had the poached egg on black pudding with potato scones served on toasted ciabatta. All cooked just right. Other family members said that theirs were all very tasty as well. Would definitely come back

We all had different dishes for lunch and each of them were delicious. The fish chowder had an Thai twist, offering something different mmm

Called in for lunch again today and the food was fabulous, I had Haddock & Chips and it was fantastic, my wife had one of the specials that was advertised on the specials board and she said it was really nice. Well done to all concerned and thank you to the staff that looked after us. Can't wait to go back

Had checked out reviews before visiting and wasn't disappointed. Very friendly staff and very dog friendly. Bowls of water and treats available for your pooches including beds if they need a wee rest. Was staying in Callander for a couple of days and visited on...

Good food let down by some dodgy service. Waitress took my plate before my friends had finished dropping my knife on the way across the table. You really shouldn’t lean across people who are still eating - very rude. It was a shame as the...

Had a couple of lunches here, great food and dog friendly so ticks all the boxes. Recent breakfast and the second time we have done brekkie, seems overpriced for the offering, avo on sourdough and one egg just under £10, common dish but never had...

Good points reasonable service and very clean. Lunch was overpriced £32 2 fish and chips half a fish on each plate and chips were tasteless. Menu never changes even the specials. Won’t be back

Excellent quality food - breakfast and very dog friendly with dishes of water for them. Beautiful clean surroundings and we highly recommend

Have been here before. Good good, friendly service and staff. Unfortunately has become very pricey. £9.20 for 2 coffees and one slice of cake. I think that's too much. Also, allowing dogs in isn't a plus in my opinion. Not very hygienic.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch while holidaying in the area and were we glad we did. The staff were very friendly , the cafe is very spacious and the food and coffee were excellent. The fish chowder was one of the best...

Only had a coffee as I had already had breakfast but it was lovely coffee and great value. Lovely big airy clean restaurant.

On arrival we were greeted with a warm and friendly smile and seated on a spotless table in this very spacious, beautifully designed Bistro. Drinks were quickly served and the food arrived very promptly as well. We had the katsu burger & fries and warm...

Visited this coffee shop today. It is dog friendly and we had great coffee & cakes. Service was good. Would recommend to anyone.

I made a return visit last Wednesday. Service was fast, friendly and efficient and the hazelnut latte and coffee and walnut cake were delicious. Another enjoyable visit.

Lovely cafe upstairs in a outdoor clothing shop on Main Street. Very tasty cakes and scones and excellent friendly and efficient staff. Very good control over table seating and Covid safety.

Glorious sunny but freezing winter’s day, 4thJan and Callander was stowed out! Couldn’t get a table for food. We were directed to the Atrium Cafe above CCW, by a lovely lady on the street. Excellent recommendation. Didn’t wait too long for a table and Bethany,...

I visited cafe on my own and was asked to wait on a sofa - a group of 4 behind me (who hadn’t booked either) were then shown to a table - and I was just left sitting. Obviously they value larger parties who spend...

Having purchased some quality outdoor wear on the ground floor of this excellent store (which is packed with tempting goodies) we went upstairs to the spacious cafe for afternoon tea. There are comfy sofas or tables with dining chairs if you prefer - and special...

Great brunch and quality coffee but the real gold stars go to the warm, friendly and super-efficient woman running the floor: it felt like being welcomed in by a friend and nothing at all was a problem. The quality was good but it’s the welcome...

We visited this Cafe twice during our short stay at Callander Woods Caravan Park. It was so relaxing sitting upstairs. Our dog was provided with a water bowl, biscuits and a choice of dog beds to lie in. The service was excellent and attentive. We...

Called for a bite to eat last Wednesday. We were seated quickly and our orders are taken quickly too. The cheesecake I had was really lovely as was the caramel latte. Staff were very friendly and efficient and I thought it was good value for...

We went for a late lunch. Fish and chips very good - fresh and hot, also the fish chowder very tasty. Bright and airy space on the first floor of the shop.

3 of us stopped off for a late breakfast and were pleased to get seated immediately as it was a Saturday and Callander was very busy. We all enjoyed our food with two down sides, my fried egg and my husband's poached egg were overcooked...

Went with family and pup. Waitress was very rude and made us feel unwelcome. We left because of her attitude so can’t comment on the food. Won’t be back

Definitely a hidden gem offering fresh food and a choice different to the usual burger and jacket potato. Pleasant surroundings and excellent food and service. Covid regs adhered to and the staff were very polite and courteous. Would give more than 5 stars and cannot...

This cafe/restaurant has a highly creative menu with Scottish elements and a super range of cakes. It's a great place for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea, with friendly service, a pleasant airy decor and good Covid measures. It resides within the CCW clothing store,...
