My son told me about this wee gem today. We popped in for some lunch. I love my coffee, a lot of the time I'm disappointed. Not in Finnigans, the coffee was perfect. My son and his fiance had bacon on their sandwiches. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the bacon was cooked to perfection. I often stay away from ordering anything with bacon as it's always stringy, undercooked and disgusting. I will definitely be back to this place, one of the best I've been to in years. Well done guys, keep up with your amazing service and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely staff and extensive menu options .Snacks, cakes or meals. Less one star because our table wasn't cleaned prior to serving and a wee bit cold where we sat. Comfortable atmosphere for lone customers. A warm welcome. Will definitely go back.

We found Finnegans online and saw they had the wheelchair symbol on Google, so called ahead to see if there was access (I am a wheelchair user). The person who I spoke to was helpful, letting us know that there was a door to the right of the main entrance and to press the buzzer for Finnegans when we get to the door. Someone let us in, opening doors for us as we entered (super helpful!) I didn't need to use the toilets but I could see that even though they were on a different floor, there was a lift I could have used. Food was yummy, coffee was good and staff were friendly. The music was a bit loud for me, but that wasn't a big deal. We will definitely return!

In I went to Finnegans on Sat. 14/9/24 at around 9.45am Please wait to be seated it reads as I stand in a glass cage 😂 This must be a posh restaurant that I'm going into, was the thought 🤔 that came to me, but fortunately I hadn't that long to wait & when the waiter approached me I pointed to a table for 2 that I would like to sit at & he took me over to it. Another waitress came to my table & took my order for the SIMPLE breakfast & I told her that I would like my coffee latte along with my breakfast BUT I ended up with my latte BEFORE my breakfast came. I drank half of my coffee, before my lovely tasting breakfast came & because of that I asked for some hot🔥water to top up my coffee which had cooled down & that request was attended to 👍 Now what was wrong with my lovely tasting breakfast❓ It was served up on a cold plate 🍽️ & my beans were only warm, but other than that it all tasted very good. The tattie scone wasn't all soggy or even burnt on one side that has happened to me elsewhere - including cold plates & my fried egg🍳 wasn't even frizled up, it was spot on & I will pop in again & taste their special scrambled eggs 🥚

In Falkirk over lunchtime and we picked this based on the previous reviews. They proved accurate. We had club sandwiches and a ciabatta with haggis. Big enough portions that we only just managed the excellent cakes. No complaints at all from us.

We had a delicious, freshly cooked lunch here. Huge portions of fish, chips and peas, a warming bowl of homemade soup, followed by hot drinks and tasty cakes. It was very reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Late in adding this review. Booked for afternoon tea 20th August, after seeing they had won an award. The booking was a special thank you to friends. I wasn’t impressed. And wouldn’t return. Was told it was from 2pm on a Sunday. Which I accepted. Food wasn’t great 2 types of sandwiches. Cakes were dry like they had been left out for days. We were served a coffee and tea each. When we were looking for refills no one came near us. We had to approach the counter. The refill tea was just hot water added to the first pot. No new tea bags. We were then told that’s them shut. It was only 3pm. If I had known we were only getting 1 Hr. I would have booked somewhere else. We were not offered an earlier time. Even though I had booked a few months in advance. Based on my experience and my party of 4. All 4 said we wouldn’t go back.

Amazing service by all the guys in this cafe. I've been in many times with family and friends. They are always great with the kids interacting and chatting away to them. Its a small intimate cafe who always go that extra mile. Always go local and this this place is great to relax on your own with a coffee or meet up with friends and family.
