Been to this cafe many times on our trips to Sterling/Sterling Mills and always had a warm welcome and good food. I assume that with the slight change in name the tearoom has changed hands because on a recent visit we were more or less shown the door as they were expecting a number for afternoon tea, by a very rude member of staff. I fully understand if they could not accommodate us at that time however there is an etiquette to dealing with such occurrences and this person lacked this ability. Won't be back.

A lovely freshly cooked breakfast, incredibly friendly and helpful service. Welcomed my dog too! Very good value. Highly recommend.

Very friendly independent cafe with a great atmosphere and great food. Everything homemade, great range of delicious cakes. It’s small and cosy with lots of lovely touches, especially the home-knitted tea cosys! Dogs are also made very welcome. We will definitely be going back.

A friend and myself were walking in the local area and had been advised to visit this small independent café. We both had the flat white and scones. The coffee was excellent and the scones, fruit and treacle, were very tasty indeed. The menu looked really good and reasonably priced. It was quite busy and the staff were taking table reservations...... seems like a very popular wee place. Would return.

Decided to visit whilst doing some Christmas shopping, so glad we did. Laura and staff are so welcoming throughout our visit. The quality of the food is 2nd to none, especially the cakes which we could not finish but got a box to take the rest home. I've had afternoon teas in London and New York to name a few but this quaint tearoom is by far the best. Thankyou so much for a lovely afternoon.

Well,what can I say. I telephoned on Monday to order a takeaway afternoon tea for 4 to pick up today (Saturday). What a choice! I explained ,there was no allergies or dislikes and was happy for Laura and the team just to pop whatever they liked on the sandwiches (you could choose your own fillings if you wanted to). Also included was meringues with fresh cream, 2 tray bakes and 2 scones (jam and cream too) . All per person,so that's 5 things per person over and above your sandwiches. Of course teabags also included. Laura very kindly also let me borrow a tea pot , tea cosy and checked with me that I had enough cups for the Tilly at Home experience. So nice and thoughtful. So we just took the tea pot back at the end of the day there.......and ended up staying for a wee cup of tea / can of juice and of course ,a wee cake lol ?. Will definitely be back.....booked again for October! Oh,I should mention parking.....car parking is just outside and the place itself is quite small but quirky. If you're going along,walk ins are welcome,but I'd recommend booking.

We were on a short break to Scotland and browsed to find somewhere to go for lunch that was dog friendly. We found Laura’s tilly tearooms and were delighted we did. They made us feel very welcome from walking in through the door and included making a big fuss of our dog, Hudson. We all ordered meals from the extensive menu that were delicious, jacket potatoes, Panninis etc. We were also attracted by the various sweets that were on offer but as we were filled from our meals, we decided we would take the deserts away with us and glad that we did as they too were delicious. We would recommend this tearoom to anyone and can’t wait until we are in Scotland again and can repeat our visit.
What a bloomin great place this is!!!.... my friend and I went specifically for the Goats cheese salad..(again). This is real quality goats cheese sitting on amazing home made wheaten bread with lovely chutney... surrounded by luxurious coleslaw, dressed salad with wee dodds of strawberries and tomatoes.... Top notch in all respects... It's run by warm and friendly folk, who definitely care about the customers who come in the door. Thanks to Laura and everyone else for running a real gem in Tillicoultry...

Lovely, cosy café with delicious paninis & great homemade cakes. The lemon cheesecake was particularly good!

Thank you so much to Laura and all of the team for giving us such a wonderful afternoon. Stellar cakes, great lunches, lovely china and teapots with cosies. Everyone was amazingly friendly and helpful and really made the birthday celebration special. Thank you so much!

Just recently moved to Alva and was struggling to find a really good independent coffee shop. Stumbled across Tilly’s tearoom during a walk with friends and stopped by for a takeaway hot drink. It was a reasonably sized order and it was 100% spot on. Offered alternative milks too for my lactose-intolerant friend. I’ve been back a few times since and it’s the best coffee in the area! It’s a small spot so it fills quickly so booking is recommended if possible. We had breakfast during our last visit and it was great. 100% recommend!
