This is such an oasis of calm in the centre of Glasgow.
The coffee and scones are pretty good too. There’s also a good selection of soup to choose from at lunchtime, and they offer a takeaway service.
Service was excellent. We were shown to our seats and then brought some welcome water to drink. Orders were taken at the table and brought to us.
Great little spot to escape into in the midst of the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s a popular cafe with locals and tourists alike, so each of the days we went it was busy, but even if you have to wait for a table it’s not more than a few minutes as they keep it moving. There’s also an option for takeaway as well. 🙂
🍲Soups: We tried the cream of mushroom, Moroccan chicken, and sweet potato with tomato base. All were excellent alongside the sourdough bread.
✨Scones: Freshly made and delicious. Sultana scone was excellent- while the cranberry orange was also great, it’s made with candied orange, so it can be a wee bit sweet if that’s not your thing. Served with clotted cream & jam upon request. 👌🏻
☀️Service: All staff are very friendly even at the busiest of times and do their best to help everyone and serve in an efficient and timely manner. Oftentimes they will even stop by the table and chat with you when checking to make sure you’re satisfied with everything.
This was the cheapest and most delicious spot we tried in Glasgow- extremely affordable with generous portions. (I left stuffed each time after a big bowl of soup and a scone).
Wonderful food, service, and helping those in need. It’s a wonderful lunch spot and worth a visit if you’re nearby. 🙂
What a disappointment! We had two scones and two coffees… so far, so good. The serving staff were so courteous. Unfortunately, we were charged £23.50, which we pointed out might not be quite right. Unfortunately, the girl on the till didn’t seem to understand that there was a slight problem, and referred us to the manager, who did reimburse us, but without really grasping that someone in charge of the till should really have some idea of what two coffees and two scones might cost. I suspect we won’t be back to check whether the scones are gold plated.
I had butternut sqash peper beans soup and it was ok, but the caramelised onion scone was just next level omg, I havent tried such a good scone ever.
A good place to seat and eat a good soup after a long walk under the rain. My girlfriend and I have arrived at 2:30pm and the team welcomed us with no hesitation! A little misunderstanding with the waiter concerning the menu, but everyone there is nice and gentle. Very pleasant place to rest a bit in the heart of Glasgow!
