What a lovely Glasgow gem. Having had the best salted caramel brownie at the Good Food Show from here 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 read more

Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get the 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. read more

Having been thoroughly impressed with their Quarrier's Village cafe, we were very happy to spot that the Three Sisters had opened a second venue. Killearn is fairly handy if you've been up Aberfoyle way doing hillwalking or cycling or whatever, so on this occasion, being utterly gubbed from a canoeing and cliff jumping experience at Kinlochard, we were looking forward to stopping off here for a wee rest and a sugar boost. The venue is lovely - it's in a modern extension at the back of the Killearn town hall, and it's all high ceilings, clean white walls, and lots of glass. There's a beautiful view from the back of the cafe, which is entirely glass, and an outside balcony too - very popular given that it was an unusually sunny day. We were joking with the waitress that all it needed was some goats or chickens on the lawn to make it even more picturesque, and she said that she did need to rescue a sheep during a wedding once, that had a bucket stuck on its head! Poor sheep but goes to demonstrate that the staff here are lovely. The cakes are beautifully displayed and I award bonus points for hygiene as they were tucked behind a glass fronted counter. There was a new merchanise display being set up when we were there - pretty mugs and such. It looked very nice and I'll be interested to see the finished range.There's also a selection of items such as fancy biscuits, cordials etc to buy. We had a look at their main menu and ordered a sharing board, which was various breads, oil and vinegar, olives, hummus, and a beetroot dip. Pleasingly, most of it was vegan so I summoned up the energy to have a wee nibble. I also had a delicious satsuma cake which was dairy free, and a pot of fresh mint tea. My OH had a stunning looking raspberry and coconut cake, and some sort of posh coffee. The staff seemed very good with their knowledge of dietary requirements - I felt completely reassured that they knew what they were doing. Suitably replenished, we shuffled back to the car, with just enough energy for the drive home. I expect we will be back here to sample more of the goodies on offer. read more

Three Sisters Bake - Cafes Near Me - Killearn, STG

Couldn't possibly review one Three Sisters Bake without reviewing the other now, could I!? And no surprises here, it's another 5 stars! Equally as charming as the original Quarriers Village cafe, the Killearn cafe sits in a renovated church at the top of a wee brae. From inside the views over Ben Lomond are breathtaking, even more so when the sun is shining as you can take advantage of the seating on the balcony. The menu is similar to that at Quarriers, well if it ain't broke, don't fix it! And it too has a vast selection of cakes on offer. On my last visit I confess I was an utter pig! After devouring their chocolate and salted caramel (if you've read my review of QV you'll notice a common theme...) popcorn layer cake (and oh boy was it a-ma-zing!) I had the cheek to take a slice of their chocolate guinness cake home too! :-o It's always said that us Arians are indecisive and I am no exception, so if you can't choose, have both I say! Food aside, they also have a lovely gift corner at Killearn, as well as cookbooks and the likes, always worth a wee nosey. Service is warm and welcoming and without repeating myself too much from my QV review...it really is a wee gem of a place - an easy 5 stars! read more

I like to think that Three Sisters Bake was the place that really got me in to food. I know that sounds weird but it was the first cafe I'd been to that took a risk with its flavours and mixed it up a bit. Being 1 of 3 sisters too, I love the fact that the Reith sisters combined their passions and put it to good use. I first visited the Quarriers Village cafe and then subsequently the team opened up a new venue in Killearn. I love that they chose places a bit further afield. It adds to the homemade, country vibe & encourages people to explore new areas. I actually used an itison deal to visit the Killearn cafe for the first time. The drive there from Glasgow is gorgeous, through windy roads and hills, and only takes about 20 minutes. The cafe is attached on to Killearn Village Hall and we picked the perfect day to visit. The sun was splitting the sky! I came across it randomly on Facebook one day and although it was a half hour drive away I somehow managed to convince my boyfriend to come along. The cafe is bright and airy with a gorgeous cake display greeting you as you walk in. The staff were lovely and attentive and sat us right away. I'd advise booking in advance especially at the weekend. They offer a variety of specials every day including two different types of salad. Sounds boring but the team here show that salads can definitely be interesting and tasty. I went for the special tartlet of the day - tabbouleh and roasted vegetable and had the house side salad alongside an Asian slaw. The flavours paired together beautifully and it was an ample portion for lunch. We couldn't leave without sampling one of the cakes and decided to share a delicious salted caramel brownie. Would highly recommend their coffees too! Hopefully you can see why Three Sisters is one of my favourite cafes and why I keep coming back for more! read more

Cake Cake and more amazing Cake..... Oh my god I love the 3 sisters (not really LucyB.. although i think she's concerned that I know all their names...)! Their new cafe in Killearn Village Hall is fantastic and full of natural light with a lovely view over green fields stretching off towards Loch Lomond and the hills beyond. A wee bit smaller than Quarriers Village however but still busy! On this occasion, we called in for afternoon tea and had a sharing platter of breads, dips and hummous followed by CAKE! Prices are very reasonable, the menu has something for everyone yet still quite simple food and the cakes are just awesome - catering for Gluten Free and Vegans too. Their cookbook is amazing too and the Raspberry & Coconut Cake that I had at the weekend is in the book so I can have it daily now! If you're in the area, call in and you will not be disappointed with the food. If you're not in the area...make an effort and go visit, it's a lovely venue in a lovely area! read more

Absolutely precious bakery in the heart of a lovely Scottish village. I was lucky enough to stumble across the three sisters after an afternoon of hiking with a friend. The atmosphere in the bakery is beautiful as one side is all glass so you get to overlook the Scottish countryside as you sip your tea and nibble on endless delights. The cakes looked divine and when I say look, its only by the grace of God, that I managed to resist eating any! I took my husband home the flourless orange and almond cake and he said it was delicious- the perfect balance of flavour and moistness. My friend had the hot chocolate and reported that it was the perfect balance of sweet and bitter. As for the tea- so many options that you will not be disappointed. I had the builders tea and it was the perfect option for a cold day. There is also the opportunity to support locally made crafts in their small shopping area where they sell anything from candles to books. My only regret from the day is that I didn't have my phone to document how gorgeous everything was. If you are in the area-- you have to check it out. In fact I would say even if you aren't in the area check this place out. read more

To say I love this place is an understatement. Even the drive to get there builds excitement. Though for Hubby it can be a tease as we drive past Glengoyne distillery. Their beetroot hummus is something Hubby and I still talk about and crave. Their cake cabinet is always gorgeous. My last visit was when I was pregnant and had developed gestational diabetes so I couldn't indulge. However darling Hubby tells me the cake is even better than the last time we went... I love the story behind the cafe and what the sisters have strived to build. Their food is testament to their hard work. I can safely say everything on their menu is fab. Our last visit was quite a large group and we had stupidly not thought to book ahead. However upon our arrival the staff were so helpful and able to put all 7 of us together. Be it a lovely sunny day or dreich wet one get yourself to the cafe for some dining happiness. read more

2.5* Only go to this place before 10.30 or if you have a booking (book the window seats) as they reserve all the lunchtime tables at 10.30. The cake that I had was fine nothing to rave about but the scone of the day (raspberry and white chocolate) was amazing! The staff are fine, again nothing to rave about as sometimes seem more interested chatting among themselves than serving the customers. Not an unpleasant cafe, just probably won't go back. read more
