Non of us could fault our food all very tasty plates which included Nacho chicken panini, ham and lentil soup, chicken mayo sandwich, haggis and cheese sandwich and cheddar and chutney sandwich. All sandwiches came with either crisps or salad and the soup had plenty of fresh bread on the side. A selection of drinks from hot chocolate, coffee, chocolate milkshake and tea was lovely too. As always the stroll around the farm shop afterwards is always full of lovely local produce and I always find something tasty to buy :-)

An excellent find on the main street of Dollar, perfectly placed to provide sustenance to those…read moreeither going up or returning from Dollar Glen. We both went for one of the specials, fillet of cod with hand-made chips, which was just delicious. Not a huge portion by any standard - only 6 artfully-arranged chips (but they were chunky), and a moderately-sized piece of cod, which was, however, perfectly cooked and delicious. A wee dish of home-made tartare sauce (also delicious) and a few leaves of salad completed the ensemble. At £6.50 it wasn't mahoosively overpriced, but felt a little bit on the steep side given that we're in deepest darkest Clackmannanshire. Especially as they followed with a latte at £3 and an Americano at £2.50... clearly Dollar is more upmarket than I had figured! However, service was fast and friendly, the food was very tasty, and the Americano was strong enough to satisfy even my caffeine monkey. Classy, but at a premium.

We stumbled over this pretty little restaurant/ coffee shop in the village of Dollar only recently,…read morewhilst exploring the Dollar Glen surroundings. After a long and hilly walk, we were hungry and decided to give this place a try, being lured into the premises by a lovely window display. A few other guests were seated and there seems to be plenty of space for larger crowds to assemble and have some good times together. I believe you can eat there all day, at least from midday onwards. I could see some brunch/lunch and evening cuisine on their menu. However, they have strict serving times. We arrived at 4pm and they did not serve lunch anymore and of such offered only cakes and coffee....... Well, that's just fair :-) I ordered an Americano and they even asked me with cold or hot milk. That's very good service! The carrot cake looked so delicious, that 3 of us went down this way to order a piece. Whilst the carrot cake looked one of a kind, i felt, it crumbled easily and was hard to eat with a fork. Still, it was a nice taste and texture. Overall, this is a delightful place with excellent service and I will be back! Its also ideal if you finished your Dollar Glen walk up to Campbell castle and then arrive back in the village.

I would give it 5 stars for this, super cozy mugs also. But, we got sandwiches and they were tasty but a bit dry... the cheese/ha sandwich could have had a bit more filling and my pesto-sundried tomatoes-cheese grilled sandwich had a lovely taste but the bun was too dry, unfortunately! But, then again, the drinks were soooo soooo good for today's winter day! SO 4 stars, here you go!

(Tip well guys! :P) This place has got a very chilled out, laid back vibe. It's the kind of place after you've been a few times, they remember your order and your favourite seat. The coffee is reasonably priced BUT remember to flash your student card for a little extra discount! Also, if you buy a coffee before 10am you get free refills all day which was always a great incentive for me to be up and at 'em before the morning rush! There is also a good selection of cakes and snacks on offer (the cheese and bacon toasties are delish!) and soup for lunchtime hunger pangs. They also have a reasonable selection of soft drinks and milkshakes on offer and an amazing selection of weirdly named teas (try the Magic Tea, it's a revelation.) It's also open til 8pm which is a bonus! The Burgh is also available for events too - I've attended group German lessons there, a Lush party, an SSP meeting, an open mic night and even had a tutor hold a seminar in the place. I'm pretty sure it's free to book so it's great for wee gatherings in a nice cosy setting. There's a vast selection of board games on offer too, as well as hundreds of donated to books to simply flick through or to buy with a donation. Free WIFI too - it became my study sanctuary for a year or too! Settle in to one of their comfy sofas or their more private booths and drift away with a Gingerbread Latte - bliss!

I've a feeling that D'Nisi is going fast become my go-to morning coffee spot on those occasions when the caffeine is a-calling; days like those are inevitable, and D'Nisi is waiting. It was busy when I arrived, with a steady queue of folks waiting. I received a warm and friendly welcome; not just at the desk but as I came in, which was lovely. Staff were working fast, and I had a wee wait, but I was happy to wait a tad longer for my latte to go considering just how busy it was. The result was worth every second, and I'm going to go all out and say that I think I'm going to struggle to find a better coffee in town. Delicious, and with a perfect frothy milk top. Ensuring that morning coffee from D'Nisi doesn't become a daily one...Now, that's going to be a challenge!
