Sunday morning coffee for me! What a lovely traditional cafe on Great Western Road in Glasgow. Really friendly staff and all at reasonable prices, unlike some of the big chains. 10/10

Visited this wonderful wee cafe today. In the best tradition of homely, good food and welcoming chat you could find. Reasonable priced , home baking ,good coffee and the owner came out for an extended chat. She knew most of the customers by name, always a good sign. Highly recommend. Left with a real feel good vibe.

Great choice of food on offer, freshly made breakfast rolls, reasonably priced. Staff are helpful, we visit every Sunday before our walk around the West End.

On a rainy Glaswegian day, which is literally everyday, you'd wanna be here to have a nice cuppa and a hot roll. The vibe is awesome and the staff are really polite and friendly.
