Cibo Espresso - Stirling

I spent a week in Stirling and visited Cibo regularly. As a coffee connoisseur (i.e. snob) I am very fussy abut my coffee. But Cibo met my high standards and they also have a wide range of cakes, snacks on offer. I also noticed when the boss/owner wasn't there at a busy time on Saturday morning, there was no slacking off and the staff were very efficient with their service and coffee. Well done Cibo.

I was here with my family (2 adults & 2 teenage boys) on a busy morning for the Tour Down Under. We had a flat white, cafe latte & 2 hot chocolates. The drinks were fine but the cafe was sterile with lots of hard surfaces which caused the busy crowd cafe to be unbelievely noisey. I had to shout my order to the cashier to be heard above the noise. The staff were overwhelmed with the crowd, 5 staff trying to take orders, make coffees, serve food (hot & prepared) all while trying to provide a table serve too. With the lack of atmosphere and with all the noise we got our drinks to go. They did offer a number of food & drink options for those with food allergies (gluten free, lactose free & vegetarian).

I have come to learn that apart from Starbucks, nobody else much serves Americano coffee in Australia. Until I visited this Cibo's, that is. The Americano was good and the atmosphere very nice.

Just the place for a coffee and to warm up on an Autumn Morning).Friendly service, and even though it was very busy, ( a line up after the ANZAC Dawn Service) our coffee arrived in a timely manner.The staff were rushed off their feet, but were still smiling and friendly when delivering our lattes. I won't hesitate to pop in again!

Service was relatively quick, however not sure of the need for 5 teenage girls working for 4 customers when all they did was lean on counters talking or on their phones. Interested to see Milk left on the counter for over 20 minutes without being used, when the cafe Was very warm and with the lids off the milk and a fly on the rim of one of the bottles. Would have thought that good hygiene standards would be higher than that!
