Café · Glasgow
Tucked away in Cathcart, this is a small, homely room where the owners genuinely know their regulars — worth knowing before you arrive with a double buggy, because it's tight and it gets properly busy. The workaround parents swear by: book ahead and preorder, so you're not circling with hungry children waiting for a table. Portions are massive and priced fairly, the toasties are the thing (a Bombay toastie, a pork-and-hash-brown one that people describe in near-religious terms), and the soups win over children who normally shrug at soup — the tomato and lentil especially. Roast on toast is the brunch order regulars come back for. Cakes are proper home baking, sticky toffee pudding included. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan choices and a few outdoor seats. Service stays warm even when the team is run off their feet.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Under-fives play in sight of your table with excellent coffee and free nappies, but one toilet and patchy cleanliness let it down.
A warm Cathcart café with beautiful veggie and vegan cooking, outdoor tables, high chairs and a little shop to distract restless children.
A well-loved Glasgow café with a 4.9 rating, mid-priced and easygoing for a relaxed family coffee stop.
