Unorthodox Roasters in Stirling

Imagine you come back by train to stirling after a long day in edinburgh. Tired, grumpy and hungry walking through the streets. All you want is a coffee from unorthodox roasters. But the place is closed and the vinyl shop beside also. Then you meet a guy walking to his car and saying „how are you?“. You have a little chat about coffee and other things, ending with a present (grinded coffee) to take home to germany. Happens only in stirling, scotland, in front of unorthodox roasters. The guy we met was Neil, the owner of the place (unorthodox roasters), who reopened his place just to give us this present to save our day! Unbelievable! Thank you so much, my friend, we enjoyed the coffee a few minutes ago back home in germany freshly made with our little espresso maker! Or, as Neil would say: „Life is good!“ Greets, hope to meet you again, Willy&Sarah

I loved this place. I lived in Japan for many years and I loved the way the did their coffee. It reminded of how the Japanese do theirs. I also thought the food was excellent!

Excellent service and great coffee. A much needed visit if you are dying for a good coffee and sick of the bucket of milk and hot water that the uk is known for.

Fantastic coffee easily the best in Stirling! Great vibe friendly passionate staff 😊 finally found good coffee in Scotland!!

These people are very serious about their coffee! Great stuff. Lovely hip interior and a great selection of coffee and pottery, crockery and gifts. Yummy croissants too.

Phenomenal!!!!! The best lunch of smashed avo, feta, ham & honey topped on the nicest, most 'normal-tasting' GF bread I have had in a long time. The service matched the food; first-class. Thank you!!

Had a long wait between trains so went for lunch and a hot drink here. Delicious chai latte and possibly the best avocado toast I’ve ever had in a cafe. Avo, feta, pomegranate and honey. So good. Friendly staff, choice of indoor or outdoor seating, and a laptop-friendly upstairs area. Will make a beeline back here whenever I’m in Stirling and work my way through their menu.

Stopped in today for a sit down whilst waiting on a MOT and am so glad I did. The staff were so friendly and made genuine recommendations, Dale in the kitchen made me a Bombay chicken sandwich which was delicious. The presentation, smell, and taste was to a very high standard and Jake on the coffee machine made my drink to perfection with a smile on the side, highly recommend stopping in for a bite and a chat with the great staff.

Loved this little place. A really friendly vibe and a pleasant courtyard garden. Gluten free more than catered for with a very tasty sandwich, excellent gf bread! Could have had a few more choices of gf cake though. Excellent coffee as you'd expect served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely visit again.

Great find! Outstanding food, great coffee and the cakes were impressive! Friendly staff and a nice outdoor space.

Great quality coffee and tasty food. If you love your real coffee with quality beans and want above average flavour then check out this independent coffee house serving their own beans. Good service and a lovely week garden out the back too.

Great little place! Perfect oat flat white. Amazing slice of ginger loaf. Enjoyed their outside seating which was quiet and sun-splashed at 1:30pm on a weekday. Attentive staff. Their food looked great too, but I didn't have any room for a lunch.

Such a brilliant coffee shop! It’s mad cute and coffee is delicious. The staff are amazing and kind and the owner is an incredible human being. Would 100% recommend

The Coffee was very bitter but the texture was good it’s just the coffee was a bit to bitter but overall it’s good place if you like your coffee strong I would rate a solid 3

Great cafe with good mocha. We like the beetroot latte too. Croissant with ham & cheese was not bad. We came here for breakfast with family & had a relaxing time.

What a Hidden gem! Was recommended this place by one of the staff from the Castle. Brilliant food and great coffee. Live the style and design. Highly recommended for a brunch and a good warm drink. Thank you!

My husband and I came across this place when visiting family in Stirling. We came back every day! The coffee is amazing and the food was great as well. The menu was small but what they did, they did really really well. I'd highly recommend coming here, especially if you are a coffee lover.

We were missing our daily dose of matcha and lapsang tea, so we were happy to find this place. The quality of the matcha was really good and both the matcha latte (oat milk!) and lapsang tasted amazing. We accidentally also ordered two cakes (hate it when that happens) and they were delicious too!

First time visit and was very impressed. I am a bit of a coffee snob but the cappuccino was fabulous. The Portuguese tart was to die for. Will definitely be back.

An excellent coffee shop. The coffee is first rate, the food good and the service very friendly. We stop here regularly and also buy their coffee for home

Honestly my favourite coffee shop and favourite place in Stirling. The coffee is phenomenal, reasonably priced and beautifully presented - the buy your own beans have such a delicious and distinct flavour, even at home! The food is always delicious and gorgeously plated and the...

Fantastic wee find. Had an oat flat white and it was made perfectly, with rich dark chocolate and caramel hints. Also had the smashed avo toast, what a great combo with the almonds, raspberries and blueberries. Was so tasty. Look forward to visiting again tomorrow...

Coffi aficionados this is some smoooooooth and delicious indulgence at fair price. Friendly boho vibe, unassuming and clearly putting the effort into the flavour. Highly recommend!

By far the best location in the Forth Valley for coffee!! The atmosphere is great, the food is great, the staff are incredible Couldn’t fault this place

We dropped in to grab a quick coffee this morning, not only was the espresso excellent but the service was friendly and the little sit-ooterie at the back was stunning - a great location just behind the church. Lovely spot, we'll be back for sure.

Popped in for a couple of take out coffees having been in the Kinross shop several times but never had the opportunity to visit the Stirling shop before. Great latte and cappuccino, nice and strong, great flavour! Although we didn’t sit in the shop looks...

Great coffee, great service, great cake and sandwiches, what more can you ask for. Highly recommend Unorthodox Roasters.

Amazing coffee and very friendly staff! Absolutely loved the seating in the garden a great place to have the most incredible tasting coffee in the sun.

I really like this place. The garden is sheltered making it pleasant to sit out in. Even pre covid I prefer being out doors. The coffee is excellent. I like the range of loose teas especially because they have white tea. My favourite food is...

Hands down the best coffee shop in Stirling. We first stopped in a few years back on the way to Loch Lomond and now visit everytime we're in town. Super friendly staff and in an amazing city centre location. The garden at the back is...

My favourite coffee place to date in Stirling, their coffee is the absolute best. Lovely atmosphere, staff is always lovely and professional. Thanks to Unorthodox's team for being so amazing!

We were looking for somewhere open in Stirling and stumbled on this fantastic independent coffee shop. They served us even though it was too early. Showed real interest in the kids and treating them and have an excellent outside area at the rear (not in...

Great coffee, made really well. Friendly atmosphere and a select selection of interesting cake. Good tea too. Coffee is roasted by the management in Kinross and beans for sale in the cafe.

Lovely cafe. Great atmosphere, eclectic mix of customers. Friendly staff. Very relaxed. Extra seating upstairs. Interesting choices of cakes. American coffee strong but bit small... Lovely pottery! Nice place to meet friends.

Hidden gem in Stirling city centre near the castle. In house roasted coffee with amazing flavour. Delicious food too and atmosphere fab. Friendly staff.

Amazing atmosphere with fabulous and welcoming staff, all made better with the amazing coffee served that had been recently roasted in their other Kinross cafe -can’t wait to visit it next. Highly recommend!!!

Would recommend to anyone great food amazing coffee and really friendly welcoming staff. With the downstairs if you feel like chilling out and being social or upstairs if you just want to get away from the world and get a bit of work done.

Great cafe, with excelent coffee and sweet delights, as well as a very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Nice spot to sit and read the paper, good cup of coffee. On the way up to castle from the station. Definitely would go again

Not only is the atmosphere very nice and cozy, both the baked goods, bagels and selection of coffee are delicious!! We went here for breakfast and were not disappointed. Would especially recommend the chicken or avocado bagel!

My fiance and I were visiting from the states and we really wanted a pour over coffee but in Scotland that can be hard to fine. This place was so clsoe to our hotel. They make the best pour overs and the smoked salmon was...

Just love it here, probably my favourite place to chill with a coffee. The people are so friendly and genuine, would gladly stay for days.

My first time in UDX Stirling, the staff are so genuine and friendly - great laughs were had. Their coffee does not disappoint either, such a cozy atmosphere. I'd happily go back everyday :)

Walked in and was greeted by friendly staff. Ordered a black filter coffee (from Honduras this week!) and had a great plate of food (avo sourdough) and a cake. I love spending mornings in here doing a little bit of work. Much cleaner and a...

Amazing coffee, great atmosphere and lovely attentive staff! coffee not only tastes great but they roast it themselves in their Kinross shop which makes it unique and great to be enjoyed in their garden on a lovely sunny day. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars.

Perfect little spot for a great cup of coffee! Managed to grab a seat in the back garden with the dog - nice touch with the dog biscuits!!

This place is the best. Great surroundings, superb food, excellent coffee, friendly staff, dog friendly and a stone's throw from my daughter's flat. So comfortable and inviting inside and just as comfortable outside (weather permitting) You must go and try it out.

I have visited this little hidden gem a few times and it never seems to disappoint. The food is very unique and very well presented but the coffee is outstanding. All the staff are so friendly and it always seems to have a great atmosphere....

Just what we are needing in Stirling. Great coffee. Friendly staff. Happy atmosphere. Pretty, peaceful little garden area. 100% recommend.....but I shouldn't really....and instead keep this little gem all to myself!

Wow, how can there be only one review of this lovely wee place? Have you not yet discovered it Stirling? Three of us had lunch together in the garden which is relatively small but delightful space for lunch. The whole place is reasonably casual but...

I love this wee coffee shop. The coffee they serve is truly amazing. They also have a limited but gorgeous selection of cakes, including gluten free options. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. And there's a lovely rear garden to enjoy... weather permitting.
