I initially gave Dnisi in Alloa a 5-star review 11 months ago because the food, drink and service were all great. However, I've downrated my review to only 2 stars because I was disappointed on my last few visits. The salad was brown and wilted and the servings of coleslaw were very stingy - about a teaspoon! It is coleslaw made from cabbage and carrots so not a high value item so I cannot understand why they cannot be a bit more generous with it. The coffee wasn't great either. My wife's cappuccino was devoid of foam - it was a milky coffee that was spilled as it was delivered with no apology or attempt to resolve the problem. My latte actually had more foam than her drink!

Also please remove the massive red bin in front of the cafe with the chairs outside, it’s just...
Read moreDnisi's have a good selection of food for lunches, and an even better selection of cakes. Their coffee is outstanding. However, their prices are smidge higher than other places.
When I first visited Dnisi I was disappointed by the long wait times, but noted great food and atmosphere.
During my most recent visit staff were far more attentive and our food arrived in a very satisfactory time. The latte I had was one of the best I have had recently and it felt worth the minor price increase over competitors.
I have improved my rating to match one good experience one bad. Judging by the way the staff get on with the customers (knowing many by first name), I suspect my previous bad experience was an...
