A lovely cafe with good food made on the premises, particularly the great crepes and baking. A good sized store with a large range of groceries and their own fresh fruit and vegetables. Cards by local artists. Small selection of good quality books. Lovely staff. A gem of a place!

Perfect place for lunch or treat before or after a walk. Dog walkers love it - you can sit outside even if your dog has been rolling in mud! Splendid range of most things organic, including great veg and fruit. Very popular.

First vist to Pillars and was impressed with the amount of fresh produce on offer as soon as you walk in. Popped in the cafe for a coffee and cake. Loved the orange spice cake. Would recommend to anyone passing

Lovely shop and cafe. The coffee cake is fantastic. Sheltered outdoor seating which is dog friendly. It s also a good camping spot but they no longer allow dogs to stay so we stopped camping here but still visit regularly for the coffee, cakes and veg produce.

Fantastic vegan/eco-/environment/dog friendly coffee, farm shop and rest stop - perfect for all ages, especially walkers and visiting families. Nestled on the edge of the Falkland Estate, lush, green and sustainable. Homemade edibles, fantastic coffee and a shop which sells earth-friendly produce. Poly tunnels and gardens for local produce to be grown and sold on site.

Staff are friendly, and work hard - it's been busy on the two occasions I've visited (Saturday, 3pm or later). Car parking nearby, and a campsite across the road - wash facilities are provided in the toilet block on the coffee shop site. Fantastic atmosphere, highly recommend the cakes!

Fantastic takeaway vegan/vegetarian food and setup with tent and wood burner. Friendly staff. Only gripe is cost of some items in shop when comparing like for like in Asda's for instance. But that's to be expected

Simply one of the finest campsites going. Camping amongst in the orchard amongst the trees is lovely, and the environmentally aware facilities and cafe are amazing. It has the feel of somewhere that's been there for ever and is just part of the environment.

Great little place just at the beautiful village of Falkland. Very earthy recipes and painstakingly sourced produce which is why I was so disappointed to see medjool Israeli dates in their fruit and veg section though.

I was brought here on a cold rainy winter's day when I was feeling very down and had been suffering with stomach problems and as soon as I walked in felt the beautiful serene energy. The food then came and it was beautiful and fresh and the service impeccable. There were edible flowers on my dish and as I ate my meal I could feel myself being revived! I had a wonderful restorative afternoon. Highly recommend

Wonderful place, stunning location. Camping too. Most staff friendly and engaging though it can get busy. Food good though rather pricey for smallish portions! Rather poor coffee. Shop excellent. Great for gluten free and disabled access.

Great place to go especially with the current COVID-19 measures in place. Outdoor seating both covered and uncovered feels safe and dog friendly so great stop with your dog after a walk. Parking here has also been quadrupled by the addition of a new car park for walkers etc which makes life much easier. Great selection of vegetarian and vegan food and drinks as well as a nice farm shop.

Lovely, busy little place. We unfortunately didn't stay long enough to eat as we are meat eaters but it was a cozy, happy environment and the shop attached had lots to choose from. We would stop again.

lovely food and atmosphere but some staff slow and inefficient. Menu very limited for Gluten free, could easily add GF bread or wheat free spelt bread for toasties and sandwiches. Surprised the cheese is ordinary cows could easily be ewes or goats grated cheese for salads and salads had no dressings like balsamic vinegar or French dressing.

Cafe was crowded (with people and wasps!) but it is summer holidays, and the staff were friendly despite being under pressure. Simple vegetarian menu, and excellent quality fresh produce in the store.

Have a good range of organic items in the shop. I got a bamboo toothbrush here. Noticed they had big containers of shampoo, conditioner and such like, so you could refill your old bottle, fantastic for the planet. The woman who served me had a miserable look about her and did not show any signs of being interested in conversing with customers.

Been to Falkland a few times & never knew this place existed.(Not local) Discovered only by taking woodland walk through the estate. Great place to sit have a coffee and light lunch from the cafe (takeaway)in the strawberry field opposite. Play park for the little ones. Lovely spot for camping, with toilets and showering facilities. Surrounded by beautiful gardens. Garden centre (Poly tunnels) with some plants for sale, bought an Evening Primrose plant which is now in bloom. Wee gem of a place.

Have a lovely time here after a brisk walk around east lomond. The cheese in the toastie was lovely, and the soup was beautiful and fresh. Hot chocolate wasn't amazing, but the produce choice of flowers made up for it. Overall, lovely little family run business!

Great cafe and a really good shop with a huge range of organic, vegan, free-from products as well as fresh vegetables. They have almost everything you could ever want! Also, an amazing place for a walk through the woods! See if you can find the waterfall that goes over the path!
