About Niu Cafe
Niu Cafe sits on Greenbank St in Glasgow, serving all day breakfasts, cooked foods, and cakes across a room that seats about 30 people. The jumbo breakfast comes with tea, coffee, or a can of juice, while other breakfast plates include toast and a hot drink alongside. The Scottish breakfast and a seafood grill with noodles are recurring items on the menu. The entrance is step-free, which suits visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Dogs are welcome inside. Lunchtime can get busy, and tables are reservable by phone, so booking ahead is recommended. The cafe opens every day except Tuesdays. Parking is available outside for those driving in.

Customer Review Summary
The jumbo breakfast draws the most attention, with reviewers repeatedly praising the all day breakfast for its portion size and value, one noting it at £6.50 with tea, coffee or juice included, another calling it the best Scottish breakfast they'd had. Close behind, the Cajun chicken toastie with chips and a mixed seafood grill with noodles get individual mentions, alongside a tasty cake selection. Several reviewers highlight table service from a staff member they describe as friendly, polite, and attentive, remembering regulars' orders, and note the toilets are kept immaculate. Prices are repeatedly called reasonable or competitive, and diners mention phoning ahead to reserve a table when it gets busy at lunchtime. No recurring complaints appear among the reviews. One diner who stumbled in by accident after a nearby cafe closed says a return visit is already planned.
