Central Perk Falkirk — Restaurant in Scotland

I was waiting on a free vintage bus to take me from Grahamston Railway Station to Falkirk Model Railway Exhibition being held at Grangemouth Sports stadium. I had over 3/4 of an hour to kill and it was chilly. So l left the station to have a wee look around l saw 3 Coffee Shops but Central Perk was in my opinion well ahead of the competitors. I looked in the window it was well lit up inside and had several people already inside eating away. The staff/owner had made the effort to make the place look Christmassy and they got it just right in my view. I entered the shop and it was warm to walk into. Almost Immediately a friendly young person told me to pick a seat and she would be over. I had a quick look at the cake counter and saw what l wanted. I had just pulled my chair over when l was served again very friendly and my order was for a white chocolate rocky road and a gingerbread latte. It arrived in a few minutes and l had finished the cake in about ten minutes time and l finished off my coffee in about another ten minutes, whilst checking my mobile phone. I got up and paid for my coffee and cake and left a moderate tip in appreciation of the staffs service to myself. I wasn't prying but l observed them deal with other customers in the same manner and they interacted with each other whilst working away. They beat 100% the chain coffee shops regimented approach to customers and they had in my view a good variety of cake and foods on offer. I would have got a breakfast but l had breakfast at home before l set out on my trip. The coffee and cake were an added extra against the chill. I am glad l got to visit and sample Central Perk in Falkirk. I hope to return again soon. Brilliant people and a great venue. If your in the area, give it a try. Its well worth it. The staff are a fab. 10...

Had their full breakfast in their today 17/6/22 & it was all very well cooked & tasted lovely. I liked the gruves on their lovely tasting black pudding & haggis & the two triangular slice of brown toast [that I opted for] were nice & thick & crisp, I asked for another butter which was no bother for one of the waitress to give me. I went to stir my pot of tea expecting there to be a T bag in it, but there was none & was glad to see tea leaves for a change & it was a lovely tasting bru. There was also a complimentary round pice of shortbread on my saucer which tasted great BUT it was soft ☹️ They have ones about 3 times that size which I swithered whether to take out with me - but I declined because of that reason. Compliments go to the chef & to the pleasent smiling waitress Myron & to the boss who conversed with me when leaving & she told me that the food is served up on warm plates (as it should be) SO in u go & induldge in their lovely looking cakes etc... 🥧🧁🍰🥮 that r on display👍 😁 Back in again on Tuesday 6/2/24 & i was glad that i just ordered a HALVE baked potato 🥔 but in the end I was a bit sad - WHY well as u can see here is some tough dry chicken & some of the skin that i can't eat & the chicken mayo & side salad was all a bit bland/tasteless. The square piece of iced fruit cake was LOADED with lovely soft juicy fruit, once you crack through the icing & the wafer thin base - all was washed down 👇 with a lovely pot strong T tea ☕ Oh!! and don't forget to buy their bag or bags of star ⭐ shaped homemade SHORTBREAD it tastes lovely & crisp, if u eat one, you will probably want to eat...

Came here for breakfast several times while visiting family in falkirk.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. it gets pretty busy but there is a small waiting area if needed. There was one morning when we decided to go elsewhere because the wait would've been too long due to how many people were waiting for tables. That was unfortunate but of course a good venue will face that problem sometimes, so can't really complain.

They have a good selection of cakes, i didn't try any cakes myself but my mum and her friend did and they said they were very good.

The coffee also is very good.

My only criticisms are that they don't ask how you want your egg to be served- I like it overeasy but they serve overhard as standard. However I did not ask them to cook it overeasy, they probably would've if I did but i forgot each morning until my breakfast arrived.

on one of the mornings the waitress didn't ask if I wanted my toast to be white or brown, but of course making one mistake shouldn't be what the place is judged on. other than these small issues the experience of central perk was very good. I love the fact that it is named after...
