Customer Review Summary
Diners most frequently single out the meaty breakfast as a standout, with many also praising the french toast, Mediterranean poached eggs, and Stornoway black pudding poached egg. The chai latte and great coffee earn repeated mentions, while cakes and the vegan chocolate fudge cake are often highlighted as moist and flavorful. Several note large portions and a warm, inviting atmosphere, though a few mention higher prices and tight table spacing. One reviewer found the black pudding slightly overdone, and another noted an excess of beans with the meaty baked egg. The sourdough toast and vegan breakfast are also commonly praised.

“Wonderful and attentive service! Excellent maitre d' (hostess) and friendly waiters. Prices are a bit high, but the portions are very large, and everything was delicious! There's Wi-Fi and phone charging, which is very important! I definitely recommend visiting if you're in Glasgow.”

“We saw all the reviews and decided to give it a try and we loved it. We shared the roast beef club sarnie and my husband had the meaty breakfast and I had the Stornoway black pudding poached egg. It was lovely. We picked some delish cakes to take away. We had booked in advance and it can get busy. Would have preferred more space between tables but we still enjoyed the food and will certainly go back for more.”

“The french toast is amazing, the Mediterranean poached eggs were bursting with flavour. The meaty breakfast was lovely, had a great tottie scone, the black pudding was a bit overdone but the scrambled egg and beans were great.”
- Arda Yiğit ÇAKIROĞLU
“This cafe is an absolute gem! The interior is beautifully designed, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We tried a variety of cakes and they were all moist, fresh, and full of flavor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot with top-tier service and treats!”

“Great coffee! The meaty baked egg was huge and wasn’t too bad - it came with way too many beans. Sourdough was pretty good. The price point seems to be higher than other places, they also gave you an option to tip at the end of meal.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
