Vera Artisan Bakery in Stirling

Vera’s goes above and beyond. I’ve only been a few times before; but a few months ago, whilst making a solo visit to cheer myself up, one of the staff noticed that I was upset - she offered support and gave me the tea on the house. I was so touched by her kindness. Thank you to the lady with the glasses and the English accent!

Lovely warm Scottish welcome. ‘The Big Yin’ was spot on and the homemade gifts were beautiful. Great vibe to this place.

Soluzione perfetta per colazione e pranzo. Ampia scelta di dolci al bancone, buon servizio ai tavoli. Zuppa e sandwich eccellenti serviti con gusto. Tra i dolci assaggiato un pasteis de nata che tradisce le origini iberiche del personale. Prezzi corretti.

I have visited Vera twice recently and been very impressed by the food and the service. However this time I was impressed by neither. I ordered a Big Yin breakfast and the food was great and the breakfast components were of a great quality. Unfortunately the eggs were over cooked and the portion of toast was, tiny. My partner ordered eggs on toast with a,portion of avocado and bacon. When this came the bread was not toasted at all and it took 20mins to bring a replacement. The waiting staff asked if we wanted another coffee as we were having along wait. I thought that this would have been complimentary due to the wait so it was most disappointing to be charged for this. Another coffee would not have been needed if the order was fulfilled correctly. Such a shame that after a couple of good visits the standards have really dropped.

We enjoyed vegan sausages in a roll with lovely coffee and London Fog Tea. Friendly staff and great vegan options 😋 Super selection of vegan cakes/tray bakes

We stopped in for a tea and coffee break while sightseeing - not realizing it was only fifteen minutes from closing. The staff were very accommodating and did not rush us at all. We had the shortbread and it was to die for. Would definitely return because everything looked delicious.

Delicious breakfast! My daughter is gluten free and we are both vegetarian. We had so many options! Savory pancakes were very good. We got cookies to go which were also delicious, but all of the baked goods looked amazing. Lovely cafe, warm atmosphere, friendly service.

Had a really nice lunch here, it’s got a lovely feel to it inside, relaxed and happy. There was plenty of choice on the menu, we had pulled pork fries and burgers. The coffees were spot on and we all enjoyed our food. Staff were friendly and our meals arrived quickly even though they were very busy. I like to support independents like this instead of the big chains and Vera’s was a little gem.

This is a favourite stop of ours as we pass Stirling. The environment is open and very welcoming. The staff are friendly and efficient and gi e time for decisions to be made.

Just had the BEST full Scottish Breakfast I've ever eaten (and I've eaten plenty)!! Everything made on site or locally. Even the baked beans! Terrific and great value with v. friendly staff.

Fantastic lunch spot in Stirling! I had a delicious salad with roasted veggies, which came with two “extra” toppings - I went with ham and avocado, and the avo portion was super generous! Husband loved the chorizo hash. Love that they serve breakfast/brunch all day. Also very gluten free friendly - gave me GF bread with my salad, and had quite the selection of gluten free pastries. I went with the Caramel Apple Tart, which was ah-mazing!

Superb place to visit, I had a lovely salad followed by a delicious slice of carrot cake, would highly recommend and can’t wait to return. There’s even a small play corner with some toys and books to keep the kids entertained!

Lovely, dog friendly cafe , very friendly . Great coffee , nice staff . Brought water and treats for our dog , would definitely recommend x

In their new location they have a great looking menu. Only had coffee and a cake but will be back to have lunch soon, as it all looked so good.

We popped in for lunch, had never been. I had a super salad with avocado and beans as I am allergic to dairy and eggs but also vegetarian. It was a great size portion, beautiful sourdough bread with it and no skimping on the avocado as you often see, lovely fresh dressing. There were a few options for me rather than just 1 or 2 things I could have. My husband had the croquettes and said they were amazing. Friendly staff and lovely bright space with art on the walls and lots of space between tables. Wasn't the cheapest at £22 for 2 meals and 1 bottle of water but 100% quality food and totally worth every penny. Will definitely be back.

Have been to King Street shop a few times now. Always excellent service and amazing food. Staff so pleasant. Just what Stirling needs.

Bought a sourdough loaf and a fruit scone. Break had a huge air hole running through the bread and the fruit scone only had a few sultans on the outside and not 1 inside. V v disappointed since the products although freshly baked are quite expensive

One of our new favourite cafes in Stirling, the new premises is great. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious and fresh; we'll be back for sure.

Very busy,which is nice to see a cafe in that building doing well. items on menu not available, slow service, loud atmosphere. Having to queue to pay at the till was really frustrating. Food was average and underwhelming. Sadly won’t be returning.

We went to try the new cafe on King Street and it was incredible! Authentic tapas without being small portions. And lovely staff too

Popped in for breakfast today to sit in - absolutely delicious roll with veggie sausages and my daughter thought the Big Yin full breakfast was fantastic. Beautifully presented and service was quick. The ladies were all very welcoming. We can't wait to return to try...

Wow!!! We visited the new restaurant for the first time today! Oh my goodness! The shakshuka with chorizo was incredible!!!! Also took some cannalonis (?sp!) and scones home and they were also delicious!!!!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Delicious sausage rolls and cakes, pies and quiches looked wonderful too. Great gluten free range, best I've seen. Local, independent, excellent value for money, could teach the big chains a thing or two. Also, very lovely staff, thank you for chasing after us with a...

Best sausage rolls and steak bakes! The staff is very friendly and down to Earth. Clean and inviting.

I love this place. The bakes are so tasty and there is so much to choose from. If you are ever in Stirling this is the place to visit

A most excellent, intense chocolate experience. One multi-meal item is your basic chocolate hamburger, so rich even a chocoholic such as I could take only a few bites at a time. A welcoming, fun staff adds spice, but check out the display and you'll come...

We come to Stirling about once a month and we always try and have coffee here - it is delicious and the cakes are wonderful

I noticed this bakery as our bus passed by and went to check it out later. The Mars brownie is sinfully decadent; I had to return the next day to get another. For my husband I bought the oreo-like chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling;...

Wow wow wow stirling you are blessed and I am so thrilled my partner found this lil place, the moment we walked in on Saturday my heart melted. The breads, pastries and sweets are clearly made with love, they are very generous portions and are...

I was so impressed at this gorgeous little cafe’s range of options! There were multiple vegan sweet and savoury treats. Very refreshing to see. I had the vegan rocky road which was wonderful and my boyfriend enjoyed his hot chocolate. Thank you Vera.

This is our go-to spot for a brunch date whenever we are in the Stirling area. We've been going since they first opened and it's excellent every time. Vera have a great selection of lunch items, sweet treats, and breads. For a relatively small bakery...

Bought 2 cakes today to take away. One sponge cake which was extremely dry and one brownie which tasted stale (biscoff biscuit on top was soft). These cakes would possibly have been nice if they were fresh, unfortunately that were not. Very disappointing!

Had an assortment of seriously top quality cakes and other produce, a true independent business, well worth a visit/treat. The flavours were incredible, so much to pick from, which equals plenty reasons to go back again and again.... Staff were really friendly and helpful.

We came to enjoy cake and weren't disappointed this is 6 star cake and the staff are so so lovely too. Ordered the Smores Cake which looked spectacular and OMG it was good..2 types of frosting and a moist chocolate cake (chocolate cake is often...

I had been into Vera countless times for takeaway but decided to sit in with a friend and made me love the place even more! Lovely, attentive staff, cosy atmosphere with beautiful surroundings, and loads of delicious, freshly baked options. If you're in the area...

Great selection on tasty goods. There is a good selection of Vegan options too. Slightly expensive but it is worth it

Popped in here for a couple cakes on the go…oh my what a selection. Honestly difficult to decide but settled for the Kinder mille-feuille, it was delicious, a real treat. There was also a great selection of breads, pastries and scones and a small sit...

This cafe sells the most amazing and delicious cakes ,bread etc all made on the premises Lovely coffee and staff ,don't leave Stirling without visiting here
