This was a random choice restaurant. We were half way through Walk 8 - West End Walk Part 1 from the book Glasgow Uncovered by Colin M Drysdale and were ready to munch. I'm a fussy vegetarian (I wish I weren't, but textures & flavours have to be right or I'm resentful that I've forked out good money for something that looked good but didn't wow me e.g. Cocoa Black in Peebles - beautiful creations but flavour free.) The food was really good, absolutely amazing focaccia, fresh saladry and a gorgeous pomegranate dressing. Coffee was nice, not bitter and the pear frangipani was lovely. Service wasn't speedy but was friendly. I'd go again if I lived in Glasgow.

Gluten free options available. Great atmosphere with a friendly and efficient service. It’s my new favourite for a full cooked breakfast. The beans are full of flavour and being a beans man make the dish . The menu is full and varied to cover your brunch choices. My wife had the French toast which she thought was delicious.

Had the Huevos Ranchieros, perfectly fine although poached eggs a little on cool side and the dish could have done with more oomph. The freshly squeezed orange juice was fantastic.

Absolutely delicious breakfast place! The setting itself is beautiful, really lovely inside, kind of a warm autumn feeling with lots of lovely flowers. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food did take a little while but not so long to be an issue and it was worth the wait as great quality. All very fresh and high quality produce clearly used. They have a wide selection of teas (loose leaf), coffees and hot drinks. Moderate to high priced but pretty usual for a cafe of this quality. Would certainly return!

From the first step in, you’re greeted with a wholesome atmosphere and staff to match. Beautiful lofted ceilings and toasty warm colours all around make it a perfect place to sip an expertly made coffee. The breakfast was also of divine quality. If in Glasgow, this place is too good to pass on.
