Stirling’s cafés and restaurants host unmissable deals as well as student discounts.
Here is a list of some of our favourites:
White Dove Coffee Roasters
As do most cafés in Stirling, White Dove Coffee Roasters offers a 10% student discount.
But if you buy a takeaway coffee before 10am, you get a further 20% off.
So you can save 30% on a morning coffee as you run to catch the elusive UniLink.
Friar’s Wynd
Friar’s Wynd takes pride in its fluffy cakes and fresh coffee.
A hotel, café and wine bar all in one located on 17 Friars Street sells a coffee and cake for £6.95.
You could have a carrot cake and a cortado. Or a mocha and a Victoria Sponge slice!
Or you can have your cake and eat it with a cocktail or glass of wine. If that’s your thing.
It’s a small difference from buying both things somewhere else, but knowing that you’re saving even a little on a treat for yourself feels as good as a warm brownie.
Chester’s Coffee XPress
Chester’s Coffee is so well-made Stirling needed two locations.
Across the bus and rail stations, stands Chester’s Coffee XPress. A faster cousin to the King Street branch, but without sacrificing the quality and taste.
For £4.35 you can get a cup of tea or coffee with a light pastry.
And for £1 more, you can swap a pastry for a hot or cold filled roll. As well as a free upgrade to a large for your drink.
This is available all day.
Ben Ledi Coffee
Henderson Street’s latest café offers a discount to Bridge of Allan residents.
While this is different from other deals, it is still worth taking advantage of if you’re a resident of the Victorian spa town.
The dog friendly café bakes its own cakes and pastries, and brews delicious herbal tea. It is also dog friendly.
