Most Disliked

While Alessio's Café & Bistro shines in many areas, some visitors wish for alternate non-dairy milk options beyond soy. Occasionally, the café can get quite busy, especially during peak times. This may lead to longer waiting periods for food and drinks, which can frustrate those in a hurry. Some diners have noted that chairs can feel slightly cramped during peak hours, especially with larger groups. Also, the café isn’t open for dinner, which limits options for those seeking an evening meal.

This place is amazing. The sandwiches are jaw crackers - stuffed full with fillings which are delicious. Attention to detail about the quality of everything is clearly on the agenda here at Alessio's. Flavours are gutsy and pack a punch. Superb value. Service excellent. Amazing place if you like punchy flavours, your sandwiches packed full to bursting and quality of ingredients top notch. I'd come back to Kirkintilloch simply to visit here. Bravo.

Alessio's is a favourite for coffee and a nice cake. We're in regularly and like everything about it. Flat white and millionaire's shortbread or a strawberry danish. Can't go wrong!
