The Bean Tin in Stirling

A cloudy, mild Saturday morning. I googled 'best bacon roll in Stirling' and The Beany turns up on more than one occasion. So, that's that. Sometimes it's all in the moment. Rugby fields all around, takes me back a looooong way, to my school rugger days. Hills and Wallace Monument as a backdrop. Perfect. So..flat white. Very nice...a little too much froth, but that's nitpicking, as the milk texture is well done. Specialty beans too...well played. Bacon roll. Splendid, quality bacon. The roll? Well, I think it might be a cross-muffin/roll I've seen in a supermarket, so whilst it's not my fave roll ever, it works perfectly well with that luvverly bacon. Perfect way to start a Saturday. Thank you Tin types...you kept a misty-eyed, retro-ist very happy...

Had pizzas and coffees here a while ago. Really nice place, very secluded from the main road and has great views of the Wallace monument and Stirlings hills and scenery. The setup with the sheltered picnic tables, and the container indoor seating area was really neat. A pretty modern and creative idea. We had our dog with us so sat outside. The menu looked really nice with 3 types of pizzas on display. We ordered all 3 and really enjoyed them. They were excellent quality, well presented and just fit the bill exactly. The coffee was excellent quality too, looked very instagramable with the cool coffee art. Will definitely have to come back.

I often do a walking loop via Cambuskenneth, Riverside and through Causewayhead. The opening of The Bean Tin has been a brilliant addition to the area and, selfishly, to my walk! And on the days when I think I can't fit in or do a walk, the promise of the excellent coffee often changes my mind and is a fantastic motivator. I mainly just have a coffee, but the bacon rolls, pizza and soup are all brilliant. The container is a fab retreat from the weather and the views are spectacular. Looking forward to sitting out at the picnic benches in the summer!

Best bacon role I've ever had. Perfectly crispy yet succulent bacon. Roll fresh with a hint of sweetness but not too sweet. Oat milk flat white perfecto. Stunning setting. Chilled tunes, friendly staff...felt like I was transported to a chilled cafe on the coast in NZ. New regular.

I had the Red Card bacon roll and it was delicious. Great coffee too. Lovely staff and view to die for. Dogs are very welcome. Stirling's best kept secret.
