    No... I screw up my eyes a little. - It can't be!…read moreBubble tea? In Stirling?! 'Urban Bubble. Bubble tea and ice cream bar.' YES! - I did a little celebratory dance right there and then before proceeding to walk past on a daily basis like some sort of bubble tea maniac, checking for signs of an opening date. Finding their Facebook page a mere half an hour before they opened made for a quick run to town, excited to try Stirling's new bubble tea offering. My experience with bubble tea so far has been mixed. I find the quality and taste varies hugely depending on where you go. The strawberry milk tea from Tempo tea bar in Glasgow makes for a dreamy milkshake-like wonder and I've never been disappointed. Equally so, I've had chemically-tasting, watery or separating bubbles teas from several places now. So I was excited but, ultimately, prepared for disappointment. We were the first customers and I got to try the first bubble tea he'd ever made. We had quite a wait but we were excited to have a peek around. It's small with a cake counter at the front. (They stock the local Caledonia Cheesecake Company cakes!) They've a seriously impressive selection of ice cream (and perhaps some froyo too!) at the front, a slushie machine and electronic screens for menus. All sounding good! - But how did the bubble tea taste? As we were the first customers he gave us them for free owing to them essentially being practice drinks and the fact that we had waited for some time. They were watery and the flavour was weak. I think more mixture and perhaps a milk base is required. They didn't get it right first time but I'm so hopeful that I can come here for a great bubble tea soon as the mixture definitely tasted like the good kind. - No horrible chemical taste here! Also, I'm not a fan of tapioca boba so I was thrilled that they stock popping bubbles. The strawberry ones were delicious! I'm holding out on you, Urban Bubble!

    Dairy farm with it's own ice cream shop…read more Fresh made ice cream is for sale, so many flavors available. So many different cone options - 5- , a nice indoor cafe, because they don't just sell ice cream, but other eating options as well, such as sandwiches and what not. Out side, you can watch the cattle in the field or let your young ones play in the wonderful play yard. While I was there I saw several young families taking advantage of those facilities. One thing i noticed, they had a sign out front (And presumably because they're the first public open thing on a relatively long road) That read something to the effect of "We don't charge for the use of our facilities but if you bring in outside food, there will be a $5 charge.

    This was a nostalgia trip. I remember being a kid (primary age) and getting to go here with my…read moregranny and grandad just for a wee tub of ice cream for the occasional after dinner treat. My granny loved rum and raisin, and I developed the taste for it too. That is about 20-25 years ago, and for the past few years I've wanted to go back but had little opportunity. That is, until I convinced Smurf that she wanted to go out there for a birthday treat. I hold my hands up, I manipulated her good, but thats what all the best aunties do. Its not as far outside Dumfries as I remember, I had prepared myself for a long trip and it actually took about 10 mins. We got there and Smurf headed straight towards the outdoor play park and I headed over to the cows at the other side of the fence. I have a thing about cows, I love them. I'd actually have one as a pet if I could. After a while, we went inside and ordered ice cream. All in, it cost about £10 for a mug of coffee, a pot of tea and 2 bowls of ice cream (3 scoops in each and a flake). I scoffed mine, and it was good. Smurf ended up playing with hers for a bit then left it to go and play with the other kids in the play area at the back of the shop. The cafe area wasn't overly busy at 11 am but it looked like a mothers group or bunch of friends had chosen it as a meeting place, kids were happy with ice cream and toys, mums were happy with coffee. Service was good, prices were decent and I really enjoyed my visit. I will definitely not be leaving it over 20 years for my next visit.

    On one recent particularly hot work day, I decided to nip by Meadowberry on my lunch and treat…read moremyself to some frozen yoghurt. It's a small location with a few tables but is really setup for takeaway business. Situated right across from the Meadows, this works well. I had come out without my glasses and unfortunately they didn't have a printed menu so I was at a bit of a loss for what was on offer. It was only after I ordered a frozen yoghurt that I discovered that they have a non-dairy option which would have been a better choice. As has been said previously, they have only two flavours at a time with the option to mix. When I was in the options were plain (which I think is a standard) and banana. I opted for the plain and splurged on an oreo topping. The yoghurt was very tasty without being overly sugary - big plus. The small serving was ENORMOUS as well as being pricey (£2.75, I think?). I would have much preferred a smaller portion with a smaller price. All in all it was ok but I probably won't find myself itching to return - my recommendation would be to advertise their flavour of the day on their website or Facebook page, and to create a smaller and more wallet friendly serving size.

    This place gave me a taste sensation. The pancakes were so perfectly cooked and the choice for the…read moretoppings was extensive. I loved the chic look to the place it was very pleasant. I had a very good cup of tea! 100% recommend this place:)
