Roasted vegetable and pesto panini to go!
Nicola C.

We were looking for food to go whilst in Doune, and the Buttercup Cafe tempted us with a delicious menu, which offered great value. My roasted vegetable and pesto panini was hands-down scrumptious but the visit was otherwise disappointing for several reasons. One: The cappuccino we received was just a black coffee with milk. Two: There was no option of brown or white bread. Three: There was a side salad in our takeaway box which really required a fork and napkin. We left fork-less and napkin-less, which meant for an incredibly messy hand to mouth salad interaction. But yay for surprise salad, I guess. - Nice dressing too! Finally: The difference in price between the sit in and take away menu is a massive one. Once we saw this, it did put us off eating in since it cost so much more. I'm pretty sure the steak sandwich cost £3.95 to go and that it was £3 or £4 to have the exact same thing in the cafe. - Yikes! When you're in that grab and go mindset, it's still possible to have a five star experience despite spending very little time in the business. And the grab n' go customers, if you bowl them over, will love you again and again, for sure; they're just as loyal as the rest. I enjoyed my lunch but, overall, Buttercup Cafe was just alright on first impressions. If I went back to Doune then I'd definitely want to see what else is on offer nearby. Still, it's a solid three stars for as I really enjoyed my lunch.

Walked in to a warm greeting and an amazing staff. The food was excellent and the ambience is just…read morewonderful. I had my first full Scottish Breakfast and I could not have had anything better. If you have time, stop in for breakfast. I could go on but I think you truly need to see for yourself.

Cafe Circa is the onsite cafe at the Scottish Antique and Arts Centre in Doune. You simply cannot…read morego to the cafe without going to the Centre, that has to be a rule. I'm going to add a second rule: whilst you can go to the Antique Centre without going to the cafe, you really shouldn't. I'd wanted to visit Cafe Circa for what felt like an eternity. And finally, that day had come. It's slick and comfortable, and very modern in its interior, and there are paintings on the wall; all for sale. I love that the creative mood of the Antique and Arts Centre carries on over to the cafe. I had a latte, which was lovely. And I opted for the salmon and pea roulade with toasted brioche from the specials board. It was a light meal, but just what I was after from as late a lunch; just enough to satisfy me until dinner. It was delicious: little salmon swirls with a creamy and tangy pea and salmon filling. The smoked salmon was heavenly and fresh. And the toasted brioche brought a nice sweetness along for the ride. This was just enough for me, but if you're looking for a more filling option, there's plenty of larger dishes on the menu. My friend went for the venison burger and the portion was GINORMOUS, with chips and onion rings to boot. With friendly and prompt service too, I'm already a fan. When I find myself at the Antique and Arts Centre, just how can I possibly resist the lure of lunch at Cafe Circa?

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.

First you go down an alley, only to reveal a secret enclave of an antique store, corner shop, and the tearoom. The square itself is fun to explore and great for photos. Once we sat down in the charming tearoom, we were greeted by a friendly and accommodating server. We ordered the afternoon tea. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with yummy finger sandwiches and delectable scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a lovely afternoon tea spot for all ages!

I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!
