Our favourite spot in Stirling. Lovely coffee and breakfast rolls, friendly service, and heaven for dog-lovers/owners.

Great breakfast rolls and baguette sandwiches, delicious hot chocolate and always helpful friendly staff. Lots of seating indoors and outside, covered from the weather. Dogs welcome both inside and out.

Firstly, let us revel in the service, which is nothing short of theatrical delight. Craig, the maestro of this bustling cafe stage, orchestrates proceedings with a flourish that’s equal parts charm and expertise. Amid the steady hum of loyal patrons and clinking crockery, he somehow conjures moments for witty repartee, plucking anecdotes and bon mots from his seemingly bottomless hat of mirth. Head barista, waiter, counter-server, raconteur—Craig is a veritable Swiss Army knife of hospitality. Meanwhile, James, his culinary counterpart, is the head-cook, bottle-washer, server, waiter, and a bloody good egg (as is Craig, of course!). Together, these two gallants of gastronomy are, indubitably, the Jeeves and Wooster of Stirlingshire, catering to their customers with an effortless panache, meeting every request with a smile and a spring in their step, all the while maintaining customer care reminiscent of Dr. Findlay’s Casebook, and worthy of a five-star review. Between Craig’s repartee and James’s culinary wizardry, they have fashioned a convivial sanctuary—a snug and vibrant haven where friends gather, conversation flows, and delicious fare reigns supreme. Just be forewarned: Wednesdays around lunchtime transform this haven into something of a creche for caffeine-fuelled mummies and their little cherubs. A mother-and-baby coven convenes to sip lattes, swap tales of sleepless nights, and engage in the ultimate juggling act—adult conversation with a baby latched on for dear life (a little whimsy dear ladies, a mere jest). Comestibles: Ah, the food! The crown jewel of the Pavilion’s offerings is undoubtedly the soups. Two varieties grace the menu each day, one of which is a heavenly lentil concoction crafted with evident love, and apparent alchemy, by James. The other tends to venture into more exotic realms—perhaps a Courgette, Pea, and Mint elixir or some equally adventurous delight—each as exquisite as the last. The baked goods are a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds: cakes, tray bakes, and scones, all so fresh you’d swear they just leapt from the oven. A medley of hot and cold sandwiches, baguettes and rolls rounds out the menu, catering to every whim and fancy. And then there are the beverages. Craig’s prowess with the coffee machine is nothing short of artistry, each hot drink a little masterpiece in a cup. From a decadent hot chocolate (with or without the fripperies of whipped cream and marshmallows. Without for me thank you, I’m a grown-up!) to a velvety mocha and a perfectly brewed Earl Grey, there’s something to soothe every soul. For those who prefer their beverages chilled, there’s a selection of cold drinks guaranteed to transport you to warmer, tropical climes with their bold flavours and unapologetic E-number content. Both children and dogs are welcome, though their behaviour is, as always, contingent on the capabilities of their handlers. The Pavilion isn’t merely a cafe—it’s a cocoon of comfort and warmth, a bastion against Scotland’s capricious weather and the relentless tick of the modern clock. Step inside, let time slip away, and surrender to its cozy embrace.........until the clock chimes three, that is.

Lovely premises, have been a frequent visitor and the staff are always very pleasant. The coffee is fantastic, various options hot and cold including sweet Thai style. Excellent food and the choice of sitting in the outside covered area or indoors. Could not recommend highly enough.

Had a lovely coffee/tea stop on a cold day after walking in King’s Park. Brownie was great! Generous pot of tea also. Cute setup- great use of an old building. Will be back!

My first visit, nice coffee, bacon roll was lightly toasted with 3 rashers off smoky bacon, very friendly staff fully recommend and Connie enjoyed her breakfast

Our regular haunt. Best coffee and rolls in town. Can get very busy especially their fantastic pizza and cocktail nights. Thanks Craig and team

Lovely wee place after a walk round Stirling Golf club, pop in for delicious soup, sandwiches, hot roll, cakes, coffees and tea. Friendly staff.
