The Whistle Stop in Angus

Popped up in for soup and a sandwich after a trip to St Cyrus beach. Wish we'd discovered this gem sooner! Love the old railway and the cafe itself is full of character. Loved the warm welcome, friendly quick service, good food and wander around the station afterwards. Thank you!

We all loved this coffee shop when we visited on Easter Sunday. We were in Brechin for the Easter steam train journey. We were able to book a table in advance and were welcomed when we arrived. The staff couldn't do enough for us. The service was outstanding as was the food. We are back in July for the Thomas the Tank day and will definitely book again! Thank you 😊

Sandwich was spot on, but the cake was even better. Lovely atmosphere with friendly service - and the fire kept me toasty warm.

Smashing wee place, full of character. Excellent food, cheerful and friendly staff. Our dog very welcome 🐶. This is now going to be our regular stop off point between Edinburgh and Ballater 😊

Our party of 3 had bacon & egg rolls and superb coffee while waiting for a friend to arrive from Carlisle. Very friendly host and the service was excellent too ! Highly recommend it!

Lovely little cafe in Brechin.went with my friend for a coffee and cake and wasn’t disappointed. The staff were polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Such an atmospheric place to visit, in the surroundings of the beautiful railway station terminus of the Caledonian Railway. The service was wonderful with quick, attentive staff, who are both friendly and welcoming. I had the fish platter and my wife a cheese toasty. Both were promptly served and were delicious. I noticed that many customers were enjoying their homemade soup, with a chunk of crusty bread. There was also a vast array of homemade cakes, of which I had a slice of coffee cake. All in all a pleasurable experience over far to soon. Also, don’t forget to look around the atmospheric Brechin station platforms, which are restored to a high standard.

Lovely venue with very friendly staff and amazing home baking. It's now open on Sundays and hope business thrives - our favourite place locally.

This is a very good coffee and exceptionally fine home baking. Am looking forward to returning to sample the delights of breakfast and lunch in this charming and characterful cafe.

Dropped in without booking on Wednesday lunchtime. Cafe was busy and a friendly welcome was appreciated. The menu is not extensive but everything we saw coming out looked good and appeared to be well received from mainly local patrons. We elected for the soup and sandwich option. The potato and leek soup arrived within minutes of ordering and it was piping hot and very tasty. I had chosen a brie, bacon and cranberry toastie to accompany the soup which was again served hot and well filled. With coffee and home made scones to follow our meal, we left feeling very satisfied in terms of food quality and quantity. Service was very friendly and value for money was impressive. We will certainly be back again.

Could not visit the railway as it was closed till Easter. The Tea Rooms was open. Located overlooking the platform, fabulous little place for an afternoon get together with family and friend. All staff are volunteers, so did not mind spending a few quid. Well worth a visit

As a railway "nerd" I primarily visited the site to see the wonderfully preserved station - the cafe was something of a surprise - but truly brilliant - good basic snacks served by very friendly staff at very reasonable prices - and you can sit outside on the station platform. A great treat - even if you are not in to railways!!

This was our first visit to The Whistle Stop at the old railway station in Brechin. Was a beautiful sunny, warm day We were given the choice of table in the cafe or on the platform, which we opted for. Service was very fast and attentive. The food was good with a great selection of home made cakes and tray bakes. I had the Victoria sponge which was lovely. Will definitely return.

Lovely freshly made food served by charming people in an old railway station. I couldn’t ask for more (oh, and be sure to ask for the sausage rolls)

Lucky to get 2nd last table. Warm welcome as usual. Wendy and Lorraine still dish up the best soup and toasties ever. Good to see Whistle Stop open again after lockdown.

Called in when back in Brechin for a weekend. Lovely breakfast, followed by a scone. Good, well cooked food and decent coffee.

Went to The Whistle Stop for lunch today. Great location in the old railway waiting room. Staff were welcoming and panini lunch was excellent. Cafe now has card machine for payment. Highly recommend.

It is fantastic having a local, dog-friendly cafe almost on my doorstep to stop off at for a sweet treat while out walking the dogs. There is a good range on the menu and at the weekends they do breakfasts until 11:30am which I'm looking...

Head about this place via social media so had to try it out on my trip over. Although its clean and the staff are nice...I found the soup a bit cold and the cake was quite hard to eat as it was very thick slice...

Set inside the waiting room of the old railway station with a train still sitting outside in the platform, this is a very special place to visit. The welcome is warm, the homemade soups and bakes are a tasty delight, and the history of the...

My friend and I had lunch here and we both thoroughly enjoyed. Freshly made meal in a great setting, I will definately be back. Only thing would be great if they accepted card payments but not a big problem. Well done to everyone who has...

Popped in today for tea and mouth watering tray bakes . Very clean and service was excellent. Will be sure to return .

Popped in for lunch today. Great lunch and beautiful home baking ... and I bet the best coffee in Brechin! Wonderful friendly staff, great atmosphere and good value. All in all a total winner. Definitely be back and well done. Wishing you loads of success...

Wow what a fabulous lunch, great value for money local sourced ingredients. I had a haggis, mozzarella, chutney pani and potato soup for £6.95 with some home made baking for dessert.

Visited with family for an afternoon coffee and cake. The homebaking selection is fantastic and the Victoria sponge I had was amazing - freshly baked that morning. Family had the soup and panini which they enjoyed too. Took away some treats for later which were...
