Came today for the first time but we enjoyed it and booked to come back later for our desserts, which we did. Everything was very good and as coffee shops was our living before we retired, we are very particular. One complaint-I understand that dogs are welcome, as they are everywhere these days, but please tell the staff not to touch them, it really is unhygenic in a food environment.

Visited this lovely and cosy place twice. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Had the lunch deal and, on a separate occasion, the full breakfast both of which were great and more than enough. The desserts are a bit too sweet, so keep that in mind (except for the apple crumble, which was divine!)

We've been to Laura's Tilly Tearoom multiple times. We've had the pleasure of eating both in the cafe and using the takeaway service. PARKING:- There's a car park dedicated for customers right next door however if it's full,there's a public car park across the street that can be used. THE FOOD:- Put simply,delicious! Afternoon tea is awesome! THE VENUE AND ATMOSPHERE:- The cafe is fairly small but exceptionally quirky! If your planning to go,I would suggest booking a table. I have added photos. Please note that the table decorations are mine ,Laura's supplied the food and teabags 😀.

Woman who served us seemed quite disinterested, just wanted to get us out the door asap, so we sat outside... just to be hounded 5 mins later... "are you finished yet? Some of our regulars want a table"... Pretty rude staff and average food and coffee at best... wont be back.

Been to this cafe many times on our trips to Sterling/Sterling Mills and always had a warm welcome and good food. I assume that with the slight change in name the tearoom has changed hands because on a recent visit we were more or less shown the door as they were expecting a number for afternoon tea, by a very rude member of staff. I fully understand if they could not accommodate us at that time however there is an etiquette to dealing with such occurrences and this person lacked this ability. Won't be back.

They requested somewhere traditional for a coffee break with luck I stumbled upon this little hidden gem. Laura and Sharon were winding down to close but my guests were welcomed and looked after like long lost friends. Nothing was too much trouble and Laura’s red hair was 😍😍😍… Thank you ladies 🥰

The coffee was excellent and the scones, fruit and treacle, were very tasty indeed. The menu looked really good and reasonably priced. It was quite busy and the staff were taking table reservations...... seems like a very popular wee place. Would return.

Well,what can I say. I telephoned on Monday to order a takeaway afternoon tea for 4 to pick up today (Saturday). What a choice! I explained ,there was no allergies or dislikes and was happy for Laura and the team just to pop whatever they liked on the sandwiches (you could choose your own fillings if you wanted to). Also included was meringues with fresh cream, 2 tray bakes and 2 scones (jam and cream too) . All per person,so that's 5 things per person over and above your sandwiches. Of course teabags also included. Laura very kindly also let me borrow a tea pot , tea cosy and checked with me that I had enough cups for the Tilly at Home experience. So nice and thoughtful. So we just took the tea pot back at the end of the day there.......and ended up staying for a wee cup of tea / can of juice and of course ,a wee cake lol 🤣. Will definitely be back.....booked again for October! Oh,I should mention parking.....car parking is just outside and the place itself is quite small but quirky. If you're going along,walk ins are welcome,but I'd recommend booking.

We were on a short break to Scotland and browsed to find somewhere to go for lunch that was dog friendly. We found Laura’s tilly tearooms and were delighted we did. They made us feel very welcome from walking in through the door and included making a big fuss of our dog, Hudson. We all ordered meals from the extensive menu that were delicious, jacket potatoes, Panninis etc. We were also attracted by the various sweets that were on offer but as we were filled from our meals, we decided we would take the deserts away with us and glad that we did as they too were delicious. We would recommend this tearoom to anyone and can’t wait until we are in Scotland again and can repeat our visit.

Just recently moved to Alva and was struggling to find a really good independent coffee shop. Stumbled across Tilly’s tearoom during a walk with friends and stopped by for a takeaway hot drink. It was a reasonably sized order and it was 100% spot on. Offered alternative milks too for my lactose-intolerant friend. I’ve been back a few times since and it’s the best coffee in the area! It’s a small spot so it fills quickly so booking is recommended if possible. We had breakfast during our last visit and it was great. 100% recommend!
