What an absolute Gem of a place! We were staying for a week near by at Glen Finglas and had passed this place several times on our way out. It has quite a reputation for its excellent homemade cakes, coffee, and wholesome homemade food.Opening times(at this time of year) are restricted to Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon and so we only managed to visit once on the Fri before we left. It was very busy but it was a beautiful day and there was plenty of seating outside if required and several parking places also. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly owner who allocated us a table and the wait was explained to us. The wait was certainly worth it when our homemade soup with home baked ciabatta bread arrived with lovely coffee! Both were delicious. The cakes also looked yummy too but we didn't indulge! There were also healthy salads and vegan food available. While we were waiting I also made friends with the owner's delightful black and white gentle, friendly and affectionate border collie. Obviously this place is dog friendly. The cafe was spotlessly clean,( I'm very fussy ) warm welcoming and a little Quirky which we loved. The owner does a terrific job of making this small business work very well. It's a real Gem away from the busier cafe's in Callandar and we look forward to returning and sampling the cakes as well the next time we're staying in the area. we would both highly recommend a visit.

The warehouse #4 tour felt like a private experience since we visited during the slow season (December 2025). Our tour guide, Brian, was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions while providing an in-depth look at the craft behind making Scotch whisky. We had the pleasure of tasting some remarkable, well-aged Scotch whiskies, including a 28-year-old selection! The experience felt intimate and personalized. The merchant booth attendant, whose name I unfortunately can't recall (maybe Thomas), was exceptionally friendly and courteous. They even provided a box to help us carry our purchases—yes, we bought quite a bit of merchandise and bottles to bring back to the States! Overall, I would rate this experience a solid 10/10. Special thanks to Brian for his impressive expertise and dedication to making our visit extraordinary. Thank you, Deanston family, for your warm hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Visited here with my wife for a couple of pre dinner drinks. Barmaid was really friendly and so were the local drinkers . The toilets were immaculate . I’d visit again!

Second bad experience in the span of a few months. We live locally, and loved it here our first time as a couple. Went in, and the bar staff seemed irritable. We ordered our food, and were told a couple items weren’t available. I made two trips to our table to ask my other half if she wanted something different. I asked the bar staff to hold my spot. I returned and they were taking someone else’s order. When the order was in, people before us got their food. Two sets of families came, ordered, ate, and left. The waitress came to us, and said she just found our ticket, and that some food we ordered they no longer had. They offered to refund us, we accepted, still assuming we would get our meals. Then they still didn’t bring the food. Usually after a hour especially, they’d refund you anyways in any restaurant as it’s a ridiculous thing to have happen…. But it seemed like they cancelled our meals. When we asked they brought it out a half hour later, hanging out of take away boxes. We were just shocked. We wanted to relive the experience of our first date. I’d had paid again just to sit in and eat, as we really liked it there before. Quite unreal. In some ways it felt like we were discriminated against (though we weren’t, it just had the same effect on your feelings as being discriminated against. If you know you know). Anyhow, we will never return, unfortunately.

What a lovely welcome from the lady serving us.( worth her weight in gold) a real asset to the business. We had 2 large dogs with us and straight away brought water and treats for them. Cozy fire and great food, what more can u ask for. Thanks for a lovely visit x

Had breakfast here with my family. The food and coffee is very nice. What really surprises however is the wilful, almost aggressive, disregard for environmental responsibility. Most people eat and drink at the big table in the cafe. Yet you can’t have a coffee in a cup, it has to be in a disposable container. If you buy a drink in a glass bottle there is no glass recycling, just general waste. You have to take the bottle with you to recycle elsewhere (and to be fair Callander has a sophisticated recycling infrastructure, this cafe just does not avail of it). This pretty large corporation (two hotels, cafes around Scotland including 2 in Edinburgh) talks of being embedded in nature/the outdoors. You would think, given the premium prices, paying someone to wash mugs might not be too much to ask.
