So without further ado, let’s dig in.
Fletcher’s
Fletcher’s restaurant is a perfect place to take your whole family or a loved one for breakfast or brunch if you want to impress them. The restaurant offers enough seating which allows for an intimate atmosphere.
The family-owned business has recently introduced a completely new menu that includes anything that you can want for breakfast. What’s more, the dishes look absolutely beautiful and taste just as good.
Breakfast is served from 9.30 until 11:45 and brunch items are served until 4pm. Table bookings are required but the process could not be simpler.
See Fletcher’s menus here and book your table here.
We recommend Halloumi Stack or Spanish Eggs.
You can find Fletcher’s at 78 Upper Craigs, Stirling FK8 2DT, just opposite PureGym and next to Waitrose. They have free customer parking, just don’t forget to register your number plate.
MiMi's Stirling

Located in the heart of the historic Stirling Arcade, 22-28, Arcade, Stirling FK8 1AX, MiMi’s has hand crafted a scrumptious selection of modern brunch dishes that can be paied with cocktails, mocktails and hot drinks, all presented beautifully.

HBW Coffee
Simply put, HBW Coffee is a foodie’s heaven. This fantastic coffee shop/bistro serves so much goodness that you will wish you’d found it sooner.
All of their dishes have vegan & non-vegan versions. Until recently, the coffee shop was serving plant-based food only but because of the cost-of-living crisis and the need to appeal to a wider range of customers, they decided to add eggs & bacon. We fully support their decision, the food was, is and will be bangin’.
HBW’s menu is different from anything else you will find in Stirling and includes deliciously fluffy pancakes, breakfast bowls, sourdough toasts, french toasts, brekkie rolls, fresh doughnuts and much more.
They relentlessly work on improving and refreshing their menu so keep an eye on HBW’s social media.
You can pop in for a late weekend brunch or just grab one of their cakes and a coffee to go and our absolute favourite is greek style yogurt on a pancake stack with toasted sesame seeds, zest & rose petals or their huge breakfast burrito. Yum!
Find HBW at 54/56 Barnton St, Stirling FK8 1NA which is very close to Sheriff Court.
Toast
Located in Forthside, Toast is a crowd-pleaser.
Unlike our previous recommendations, Toast has more of a traditional menu but with a twist. There are many sweet and savoury options and it’s also perfect for families with children.
We think you will also appreciate their outdoor seating area.
The cafe is open daily from 9am (9:30 on Sunday) to 4pm.
Our breakfast suggestion is anything that includes smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.
Toast Cafe can be found at 2a Forthside Way, Stirling FK8 1QZ, which is close to the Vue Cinema and The Engine Shed. There is also a big car park nearby.
Caffe Pompei
If you like to eat cake or sweet pastry for breakfast, then we can only recommend Caffe Pompei. Caffe Pompei is an Italian coffee shop serving Lavazza coffee and fresh Italian croissants as well as Italian cannoli and other cakes.
If you pop in between 9 and 11 (Mo-Fr) you can enjoy their breakfast deal: any hot drink and fresh baked pastry for £5.90.

Cisco’s is open from Monday to Saturday between 7.30 until 14.30. Be mindful they can get very busy and seating is very limited, so you may need to opt-in for a takeaway brekkie. They have tables and chairs outside during the summer months though.

TJ’s Restaurant
TJ’s has opened only recently and if you’re after purely traditional Scottish or American breakfast that includes nothing more but eggs, bacon, hash browns and sausages, this is where you should go.
