One of the best coffee spots I've been to in years. The service is great; homely and interested. The (presumably) owner seems rightfully very proud of the place and there's a lot to be proud of; Decor is warm and tasteful but still feels cool and quirky. The coffee itself is really high quality - I had espresso which held up fantastically. I also overheard the barista/owner chatting with another customer - very clear that they know their coffee (and are passionate about it!!!) Food was really surprising - a build-your-own toastie was a nice touch but the menu is extensive with some good veggie options. I had a toastie which was nice and served with a well-dressed salad. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a few more of the menu items (and some of the sweet treats). Added bonus of supporting a nice independent business made this a really enjoyable lunch stop while I waited for the mechanics - can't wait to be back!

Travelling up from Linlithgow for a day out today we called into the Ancastrer for lunch. Great welcome and food was fresh and excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive and you can clearly see these guys love what they do. If you’re ever in the area, call in. We'll definitely be back. Keep up the great work 👍

Should you chance upon this delightful eatery whilst in Callander, I would heartily recommend you pay a visit. The welcome is warm and service is prompt. The atmosphere is relaxed (and dog friendly) without being too noisy or rowdy and the decor is both fresh & traditional. You can grab a drink and/or food, which ranges from a most delicious scone, to home-made soup to a freshly made toastie. It's location couldn't be better, situated just to the side of the town square in the centre of Callander and outdoor seating is available too (if you are brave enough to endure the Scottish weather!). Worth a visit. Highly recommended

Very cute café, loved the vibe and the food!! I had the carot and lentil soup, would recommend :) The coffee is also amazing (they have oat milk)
