About The Broom Cafe
On Mearns Road in Glasgow, The Broom Cafe takes bookings ahead of a visit and will hold a table by for you, which helps when tables fill up at weekend late mornings. The menu runs broad across both food and drink, so there is plenty to choose between, and coffee comes from the machine at the counter as a standard part of a visit. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a step, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. The doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the draw reviewers return to most, described as excellent and, by one regular, the best around, with the person working the machine singled out by name in reviews for how it is brewed. Close behind sits the menu's breadth, repeatedly called surprisingly extensive, with one visitor picking out a toasted sourdough option as delicious and several noting decent portions at reasonable prices. Service comes up almost as often, characterised as fast, friendly and helpful, and one family with multiple allergies describes staff double checking every order and flagging what had been cooked in the kitchen beforehand. The place is consistently called busy, particularly on a Sunday late morning, though several say they were seated without a wait, and a few suggest checking table availability in advance since staff are happy to hold something by. One visitor with mobility issues notes the layout is all on one level, and another mentions sitting outside in good weather. Takeaway is mentioned as an option too.

“Second visit to Broom Cafe, clearly very popular spot for locals, always very busy but we've not had to wait for a table either occasion. Very broad menu, lots of choice and food has always been good, portions decent size so overall good value. Staff very friendly and helpful and would recommend if you are in the area - both times we have popped in after being at Eastwood Sauna, another recommendation!”
