    We were exploring Dunkeld (which I'm convinced I should move to), and found Spill the Beans. We…read morewanted a spot of mid-morning sugar and caffeine and were so happy we stopped in. When you first enter there's a shelf to your right just FULL of beautiful looking cakes and sweets (do NOT help yourself!), the till to your left, and beyond that a little cafe where you can enjoy lunch items. We decided on two americanos and a piece of victoria sponge. The young woman working was incredibly friendly, but she seemed either new or out of the loop regarding certain things. There was no milk for our coffees (she didn't know they had run out until we had already paid) and when we asked about a few of the baked goods she mostly shrugged and smiled. No big deal, we were very happy with our takeaway selection. The coffees were piping hot and the cake was melt-in-your-mouth good. It was a smaller slice than we were expecting, and next time we'd for sure get two or three different slices to share (or probably just stay and enjoy the cafe/courtyard area and really tucky in to even more!). Lovely, lovely coffee shop and I'm so glad we found it!

Good luck trying to choose between Victoria Sponge, Coconut & lime sponge, orange poppy seed, carrot cake, I came across this cafe in Dunkeld, tucked away next to the cathedral, with friendly staff, cakes and home baking where fresh and good value for money. This is a clean café and staff are friendly and helpful. Tea is from Brodies in Edinburgh. All served on delicate bone china cups.

    What a lovely Glasgow gem. Having had the best salted caramel brownie at the Good Food Show from…read morehere I decided it was time to pay the sisters in Killearn a visit. A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch

    Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.

If you are GF be advised if you asked for your roll to be warmed they do not have a separate oven for this. The GF Rocky Road tiffin was so sweet it took me three days to eat it. The mocha was excellent. Staff was wonderful. I would definitely come back here.

    Such a small space! We grabbed a couple of premade vegan sausage rolls from their cooler on the…read moreright when you first walk in, as well as two vegan empire cookies from the display case on the left where you cash out. We were happy to see that there were clearly labeled vegan options! Appreciate that, thanks! While they weren't busy (it was midmorning midweek), some of the staff seemed harried. When we asked a question of one person, we were told dismissively to "just go look in the case" while she brushed past us to go in the back; the staff who cashed us out, on the other hand, was warm and friendly. We took the sausage rolls on our walk to The Hermitage. It survived our backpacks no problem! It was good although quite dry (also, my bad: when they advertise it as "vegan haggis and spicy bean" I thought it would be a layer of plant-based haggis AND a layer of baked beans; it was just plant-based haggis MADE with beans [nothing spicy about it]). The empire cookies were ENORMOUS and LOVELY; melt-in-your-mouth shortbread and fun flavored gummy drops on top. Held up the entire day in our backpacks, and made for the perfect snack/pick-me-up for our two hour train ride back to Edinburgh. PRO TIP: Get your sausage roll heated. Don't eat them cold.
