Toasted

the flat white here is the kind you'd come back for on a cold stirling morning without needing much convincing. toasted sits on king street, which puts you right in the older part of the city, close enough to stirling castle that tourists wander past but the place clearly has its own crowd that keeps returning. that regulars come back so consistently says something about the consistency of what's being made. you're not getting something experimental for the sake of it, just coffee done carefully and without theatrics. the hot chocolate is worth ordering if espresso isn't your thing. king street in the late morning, flat white in hand, is a genuinely good way to spend an hour in stirling.
