My favourite food find during my Falkirk stay. So much so I had brunch here every day. Caters well for coeliacs, good gluten free sweet and savory options. Served by super friendly staff in lovely surroundings Do visit the beautiful, tranquil walled garden.

The Scone Rangers were back on the campaign trail with a visit to Dollar Park and Arnotdale House Cafe. If you had asked us before today to name our favourite scone in Forth valley, we would have said Beecraigs cafe - no brainer. Now the Beecraigs Scone has found an equal at the Arnotdale cafe. Both scored 9 in our estimation, both narrowly missing out on the perfect 10 for the same reason - no cream! In both instances the coffee was also excellent, the prices very reasonable and the staff very welcoming and friendly. The surroundings were exceptionally clean and tidy at Arnotdale House with local art and produce on display, and for sale, contributing to a pleasant ambiance. Dollar Park itself was a delight. It’s nice to see the floral clock revived and hats off to whoever is responsible for the work on the walled garden - what a fabulous place it now is. You must go see.

Have had many delicious snacks and lunches here. Nice setting, feels safe since the pandemic. One of the dining rooms is dog friendly. Service always good. We have also now been picking up a weekly vegetable bag for a few months - the produce is from the Cyrenians farm so is seasonal and local. The quality and variety is great, a mixture of basics like carrots, onions potatoes etc. and always something more unusual.

Just had fantastic food and exemplary customer service from Johnny and the girls. He went out his way to bring the table from outside(starred to rain) indoors and quickly got the 4 of us served really quickly. Even although the cafe was very busy with a queue waiting,the staff were hard working,efficient and very friendly.

I've visited this cafe a number of times, and always recommend it to others. The food and drinks are of a high quality, and the cakes are amazing. The cafe has a loyalty card scheme where you collect a stamp for purchasing a drink. You can then either receive a free drink, or pay it forward to donate to someone in need. Very caring!
