Most Disliked
A few visitors have noted that menu prices listed online may be slightly higher than actual costs, which can lead to confusion upon arrival. Some diners mentioned wanting more variety in the quick bite and small plates offerings, aspiring for greater creativity or seasonal ingredients. On busy days, service might be slower than expected, especially when the bistro fills up with lunch-goers. A couple of guests reported that the noise level can rise, impacting the relaxed vibe during peak hours.

I had the most perfect cheese and ham omelette for breakfast this morning served up by really friendly staff. Thank you chef Misty and her colleague. I can really recommend their green smoothies jam packed with spinach, ginger, apple juice and avocado -lovely! . La Sorelle was so chilled out relaxed too which was also perfect for a warm Sunday morning.

My partner and I had a light lunch. The food and service were absolutely first class. My toastie came with crisps, coleslaw and a side salad. My partner’s baked potato was excellent. Great coffee too. It’s good value for money-will definitely be back.

Brilliant selection of vegan and vegetarian. Particularly impressed with the veggie and vegan breakfasts. Usually the meaty items are swapped out for a tomato and mushrooms and I never feel they are as much value as the meat options. However, the meat items are straight swapped for vegan/veggie alternatives, so you still get bacon and black pudding/haggis and sausage. And it is delicious. Lovely staff and great service. Seasonal additions to the menu are nice as well. Website prices are higher than actual costs (example, the Groupon deal says a breakfast is near £12, it is nearer £8). Delicious selection of cakes and treats as well.

Fantastic value full breakfast for less than £8. Service very good, even asked me what coloured toast I wanted. Excellent proper vegan options. Comfy seats, and loved the rectangular plate. Beans in a wee bowl, great touch. Only criticism music slightly too loud and a bit melancholy. Definitely recommend for breakfast and lunch menu looked quality too.

The best cafe in Kirkentilloch! :-) I love a banjo (bacon and egg rolls) and these guys make the best! Delicious. The food is outstanding. The banter and service is next level. A lovely family business. Great value - well done guys we love dropping in after the brilliant canal side ride from Glasgow.
