Great cafe and fair price on most foods. I know I'm home when a breakfast has tattie scones and black pudding with the bacon egg and sausage. Not healthy but a great treat every now and again. Very friendly staff and the tea is better than many other places. Rather be in this venue than American fast food joints.

The food is absolutely lovely. I had the all day breakfast and I would thoroughly recommend it! High quality product that has been cooked to perfection. The price is also astounding especially in the West End of Glasgow. I would definitely go back.
