Bluestone - Barrhead in East Renfrewshire

Full vegan, Gluten free menu and dairy free cakes, what not to like? As someone who isn’t vegan but dairy and egg intolerant, this is such a great wee cafe that I wish I’d found sooner. I really do hope the community continue to support this local business.

Wow food was unreal, which we only knew about it sooner. For those looking for a nice vegan place for lunch definitely give this place a try, I’m not vegan but for those looking for a change from eating meat. Also fry soup is the best I’ve had. Great Customer service 10/10

The most delicious lunch. Spicy tomato and coconut soup with mozzarella,red onion, pepper and pesto panini. Compliments to the chef

Lovely spot for breakfast or lunch with friends or on your own. First time here, so went myself to check it out. Relaxed atmosphere and cosy eclectic space with rustic chairs tables for 2 or 4 or more. Pleasant staff. There is a delicious, affordable assortment of vegetarian/vegan/gluten free food on the menu. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but was delighted with the food. The squash and spinach soup was superb. The pastrami and melted cheese panini was so big I took half home, and it came with the most wonderful side salad I think I've ever tasted. Will definitely be back.

We love it here! The food is unreal and they're really knowledgeable and safe on dietary requirements.

Booked a 7 night break to Tenerife at the Hard Rock hotel in Jan with BarrHead Travel Glasgow. All went very smoothly from tickets to transfers. Excellent service from the company and got the trip c£350 less than a competitor which paid for the excursions. Worth seeing Mt Tiede and Tarranga. The boat grip on the Royal Delphin to see the whales and dolphins is very good. You also see the 800m cliffs at Los Gigantos on this trip. Recommend book coach excursions as the roads - particularly in the mountains are very narrow with few passing places.

Such a lovely gift shop and vegan cafe! Pastrami pannini soup and cakes were delicious! Staff are so lovely. You won’t be disappointed.

I've just been to Bluestone for the first time, and I can honestly say it's the best meal I've had this year. There was so much choice, but I settled on the macaroni and cheese, which comes with garlic bread, and I also had the chips, and it was such a delicious meal - really exceptional food. I then had the Empire Biscuit and it was superb also. The place has a really lovely vibe and decor and the beautiful gift shop downstairs is an added bonus. This is the first vegan cafe in East Renfrewshire, and I am so happy to have somewhere as fabulous as this so close to me. Now I can hardly wait for my next visit and want to work my way through the entire menu! Thank you, Bluestone, for such an amazing lunch! :)

Cracking little cafe with great coffee and delicious food. Give it a go, the avocado with mushrooms is my new favourite breakfast

I used to visit Bluestone Cafe a lot when I worked in Barrhead but hadn't visited in a wee while. I visited today for lunch and, as expected, was not disappointed! The food is all vegan which is great when you don't eat meat as no need to worry. We opted for paninis with a side of soup and a bowl of chips. All I can say is WOW. The soup I had was beautiful and I tried a wee bit of my partners which I didn't think I'd like as it was curried cauliflower but it was amazing! It was tasty, fresh and really filling. Also excellent value for money. We noticed quite a few customers came in close together but this was no problem for the fabulous staff, who ensured everyone was served and food was delivered promptly. I can't wait to return!! Also don't forget to peruse the beautiful gift shop downstairs. It really is one of the best places in Barrhead!

Bluestones coffee and food honestly never fails to disappoint 100% must try if in Barrhead or the surrounding areas! Wonderful flavour and all dietary requirements catered for truly a hidden gem in the green belt

I found this little gem on trip advisor round from the place I was charging my car and it was delightful! Such a warm welcome by the staff and a really scrumptious lunch. I had the pesto mozzarella toastie with some really delicious homemade lentil and veg soup. Plus a drink and it was under £8 so what an absolute bargain. I’ll be back next time I’m over here charging so glad I found it!

Great food to be had here - vegan and vegetarian. Dog friendly cafe/restaurant. Booking possible. Friendly atmosphere.

Favourite Place This is one of my favourite places to go for lunch on a Saturday. The menu is impressive and the food is amazing. Omni husband loves the food too. They also do a great coffee and beautiful cakes.

Myself, partner and wee dog had a lovely lunch in this down to earth, calm environment - the woman serving even gave our wee dog some oat milk when we asked. Also had a chat with a lovely family about staffies and how misunderstood and wonderful they are. Absolutely Lovely!!!

Bluestone is beyond a hidden gem. Their food is exceptionally tasty and you get big hearty portions at an inexpensive price. Their scones, cakes and ginger loaf are out of this world. I’ve had a lot of vegan chocolate sponge cake in my time and this was one of the best - far far better than some of the fancier cafes in the west end that are also much more expensive. Their coffee is almost certainly the best in Barrhead too - especially the oat flat white!The decor and space itself is lovely, always clean and very comfortable to sit in. You’ll find yourself admiring all of the beautiful pieces that are on display in the cafe from woodwork, to crystals to artwork.I used to go here 6/7 years with my mum when I lived in barrhead as I was obsessed with their hummus and red pepper panini. Their hummus is made fresh and you can tell because it’s way better than average. I have always remembered how much I loved this sandwich so when I was nearby the area on the off chance recently and needed lunch, I decided to see if they still sold the same panini. To my delight I noticed their whole menu is now plant based and when I saw this I was so happy I could cry because this used to be a part of Glasgow you couldn’t even buy a plain block of tofu in the local Tesco. So to now have such an amazing and friendly cafe offering a full vegan menu is so amazing. I live quite far away in the east of the city now but Bluestone is so good that I will definitely be making the trip through with family and friends regularly from now on. The shop downstairs is also wonderful and it’s hard not to spend loads of money every time you pass through! Also - easy to park outside and they also have a small outside eating area :)

Visited on numerous occasions. This wee place is a hidden gem and is great value for money. The soups are always delicious and I can’t think of getting a better one anywhere else. Good menu with plenty of choice whether you are Vegan or Vegetarian. The toasties, salads and pastas are all very tasty and delicious. Great selection of coffees and a variety of cakes that would suit anyone’s appetite.Pay a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Food is beautifully homemade with a lovely selection to choose from. I had the vegetable soup which was delicious and my bf had the panini with vegan chicken and mozzarella, he said it was amazing. Lovely chips too. This cafe is a little hidden gem in Barrhead.

Welcoming & friendly staff with relaxing music. The food is very good and the sandwich & soup pairing is excellent value for money and filling!! I visited on at least three occasions on this trip and thoroughly enjoyed every time. I tried the delicious homemade Vegan cakes several times with good coffee. I would highly recommend a visit as it’s such a pleasant place to visit! Jimmy

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great menu with plenty of choice and very reasonably priced. Would definitely return when in the area.

Just by chance me and my partner went into this charming little shop and discovered it had a cafe we had something to eat and drink here which was very nice, would deffo eat here again.

Lovely coffee shop , good selection sandwiches and cakes You could spend hours downstairs looking at the knickknacks for sale

I visited this cafe/restaurant twice in this month. Once for breakfast then another for coffee and cake. The food and drinks excellent. Highly recommend.

Nice place to drop in for a bite to eat. We had a great Vegan breakfast. Good menu and friendly staff.

Was reminded of Bluestone shop and cafe this week when I saw in the local newspaper that they had won the Scottish Small Retailer of the year so when my son said he would take me out for the afternoon yesterday I thought why not visit the cafe at Bluestone before heading out to do some shopping . The food was lovely, staff were too and the shop downstairs was full of lovely quirky items. I was surprised at how quiet it was but it just meant that the food came extra fast. Everything as far as I could tell was vegetarian or vegan which to be honest I would never normally choose but there was something for everyone, even me. I had the toastie with goats cheese, red pepper and pesto with a small salad, although it comes with chips and to drink I had green tea. Son had a baked potato with beans and small salad and a latte with oat milk.There were paninis and jackfruit “tuna” too and several vegan/vegetarian mains.I would definitely go back for a more leisurely visit and have some of their delicious looking cakes.

Amazing little tea room above the gift shop. We had the spicy tomato soup which was just delicious. Lovely food lovely staff and lovely ambiance 10/10

First time visit to the cafe, which sits above the giftshop. Interesting vegan choices, on the menu. We had a lovely main course, followed by coffee and vegan cakes. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, let my daughter try some of the vegan tuna mayonnaise before ordering. The cafe decor makes it very pleasant to sit in. Cafe, also, has produce for sale.

This is a really nice vegetarian/vegan cafe above a gift shop in Barrhead..This was a first visit and I wasn't disappointed. The menu has plenty of choice. There was baked potatoes , panini's with side salads, hot meals like mac cheese or soup and vegan pies. There are all the usual choices of coffees or teas. Everything is very clean and the service was prompt and polite. There is relaxing new age music in the background and ai loved the decor with all the natural wood. I will return to try another choice from the menu.

Love this wee shop I usually spend a while browsing! Difficult to make my mind up what to buy as it’s full of beautiful things , lovely cards too . Coffee shop upstairs is great too 😍

Lovely staff and food although service was a bit slow. Had a cheese toastie and husband had the vegan breakfast Gift shop downstairs has beautiful items.

Lovely ambiance, nice food and a great gift shop. Really like coming here. Cakes are very tasty! Access is via stairs but can come round the back to reduce the number.

I have bow visited bluestone twice with my vegan sister (i am vegetarian) the menus are vast and very well priced. Food is delicuous and nice little quaint surroundings. Had my aister not seen this place recommended on a vegan social media post we would pribably never have found it. I am so glad we did. If only it were closer to where i stay and i would be in more often. Great wee place x

Unless u stay roundabout u wouldn't know that they hav a sit In food place upstairs, it's a little gift shop, treasure hole, with gorjus treats downstairs, upstairs u can hav tasty sandwiches, mac n cheese, wraps n much more all freshly cooked on the premises, n they also do selection of teas n cakes that are 2 die for, don't miss this xx

Popped in for some lunch and a little bit of shopping great little place highly recommend. Food was yummy and it was nice to sit outside. Very handy that it has a takeaway too.

Lovely little tea room with a good choice of freshly made food. Quirky as it has a sort of rustic farmhouse feel not what you would expect on a main road in Barrhead. Nice shop below tea room. Good service and clean and tidy establishment.

Everyone's really friendly, the store itself is an amazing little shop and the cafe is just a bonus! Would recommend to anyone!

My wife and I recently visited this cafe. It has friendly staff and is homely. It has varied breakfast and lunch menu which looks tempting. We just had drinks and cakes but they were enjoyable. I would recommend it to others.

Lovely eating place hidden upstairs above Bluestone shop. Good, wholesome food at reasonable cost. Well worth the visit.

I met a friend for lunch in Bluestone and we both enjoyed it very much. The cafe is upstairs above the gift shop and is a pleasant, spacious area.

a miserable day so wee decided on a soup and a toastie for lunch, as usual the food was delicious and the staff helpful

Precioso lugar decorado con buen gusto y tranquilo oasis en la agradable zona de Glasgow. Personal muy amable fabuloso menú para el almuerzo saludable tienda de regalos preciosos. Ensalada pequeña porción Hummus por casi 7 libras, ya que no deseo pan de trigo fue servido con pero lo contrario de buena calidad. Volvería más cerca de mi regularidad si casa.

Realmente agradable, bien preparada y presentada la comida servida en buenas porciones por un personal amable y feliz.

Had lunch there today and was really impressed. Great choice and high quality food. Soup was amazing and the panini was very tasty. Good ambiance too. Will definitely make this a regular place to stop.

Ok for a cup of coffee, but food / sandwich choices very limited, although I can understand that they cnnot offer an extensive choice in order to their overheads down. Fine if there's something you like. Good for vegetarians.

My friend and I had lunch at Bluestone recently. Food and service was good and we had a relaxed chat in nice surroundings. It's become our favourite local tearoom.

Have stayed in local area for a while now and always wanted to try here

Conocí a un amigo que no hemos tenido oportunidad de ponerse al día con una comida y un servicio encantador, aunque muy atento y una gran selección

Very relaxed atmosphere, and they do the best homemade Empire Biscuits ever!! Their scones are excellent too! Freshly made. In fact anything I've had there is delightful!

This is a local family favourite of ours....it's always so tranquil and relaxing, amazing vegetarian food and lovely staff.

I've been to Bluestone so many times and never been disappointed. It has a cracking menu. Can really recommend the delicious homemade soups - the soup menu changes on a regular basis and think I've had most of them. The breakfast selection is more than ample and main menu has panini and sandwiches with a tasty combination of fillings. Love the shop downstairs and have shopped there for years. The addition of the cafe upstairs has been an added bonus. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the overall ambience of the cafe is relaxed and chilled.

I was always a regular customer of the Bluestone Gift Shop, popping in every now and again to pick up my Yankee tea-lighters and other lovely gifts. The shop guaranteed a lovely ambience, had a relaxed atmosphere, and always offered you a warm welcome from their fantastic staff who were clearly carefully selected in order to carry through the Bluestone mantra. When they decided to extend and add a coffee shop upstairs it was a very exciting prospect and they haven't disappointed. I often take my family there for coffee, cake or a spot of lunch. The food as previously stated is always freshly prepared and of a high standard. Having had the pleasure of getting to know the owners over the years I know that Jeanette and her daughter Sara have gone to extreme lengths in sourcing their ingredients locally and from farmers and suppliers who have strict standards and criteria regarding the welfare of their animals. This is evident in the quality of their chicken, other meats and eggs. The family are almost all vegetarian or vegan but happily cater for all. Their soups in particular are always fantastic. Their paninis are lovely and they have always catered for any individual requests I've had. I love the harissa chicken filling on a hot panini with a portion of chips on the side. If we are treating ourselves we will often have a coffee and a slice of their delicious home baking. The coffee has also been carefully selected and is lovely and the kids regularly get bambinocinos which my eldest daughter Sofia often helps to make with the careful supervision of Sara. From the home baking, a personal favourite of mine is the coconut and lime cake and I have sometimes ordered a full size one for special occasions. If it is on display when you are in then you should definitely give it a try, it's fantastic. Lastly, one thing I would like to note is their family friendly atmosphere. Sara in particular is amazing with my 2 daughters 7 and 2) and always ensures that they have a great experience there, even to the extent of setting up a mini table for my daughter's 2nd table. I might be biased because I am now friends with the family but that friendship was built on regular visits to their shop and their consistently warm welcomes. It's a local gem and a family business that makes the Barrhead community very proud!

Been here a few times and have not been disappointed. All food is cooked fresh and made to order and you can really tell. The soup flavours are amazing.Staff are lovely and only to willing to help.If you like to shop you can do that too.See you all again very soon.

Went for a bite to eat on a Friday lunchtime and wasn't disappointed,staff were efficient and friendly,took our order and asked if we wanted our tea and coffee with our food,didn't have to wait long and our lunchtime snack was a reasonable portion , very nicely presented ,and tasted excellent,everything just right for a lunchtime nibble.

I am always on the look out for a nice coffee shop where I can bring my mum . Her mobility isn't good so try to find one on ground level . I didn't realise we would have to climb stairs but my mum wanted to try and did well to climb them . Both of us felt it was definitely worth the effort . Very friendly service and delicious food . We will definitely be back .

As a mere male I find hunting for the perfect gift for female relatives a challenge. Many times I have dashed in to Bluestone at the last moment and been able to get presents that everyone liked. An excellent shop offering some great items.

You're assured a warm welcome at Bluestone. It has a very calm atmosphere, great gifts, good coffee and fab cakes! It's time I went back for more....

We met a friend here for lunch, I was most surprised as I have shopped in Bluestone a few times ( fab gift shop!!!) but had no idea there was an upstairs cafe!!! Great menu, lovely that my vegan daughter could make her own sandwich from the ingredients in the menu. My only gripe would be the ridiculously slow service. No excuse really as there were a couple of, quite lovely, staff on and only us and one other table of 2!!! Having worked in catering I know it does not take that long to make a few toasties!! However it was delicious when it finally arrived! The homemade soup, carrot and lentil was smooth, warming and extremely tasty and the sandwiches, in their various forms were fab albeit one had a meagre portion of goats cheese. I would Most definitely recommend this little place , with a veggie friendly menu, as long as you are not in any kind of rush!

Got a takeaway panini & chips with salad. Food was nice we did wait a bit for it but no big deal as they cafe is located within a gorgeous shop with different nik naks to buy candles etc so this kept us occupied. Will def return in future

Popped in for a quick lunch...food lovely and fresh and reasonably priced. Cafe itself is nice and clean. Would recommend

Great place for lunch, friendly staff and great food at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be going again when next in town.

Great little cafe. We made a special effort to visit as we had heard some good reports. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff, good coffee with home made biscuits. Will definitely be back.

we went in and although it was quiet it seems no one had cleaned the table we had to ask her to wipe it, after waiting for 25 minutes for a simple snack ,a sullen faced waitress plonked it down and it was lukewarm and greasy .For the time we waited and the blandness on offer we didn't feel welcome and wouldnt return.

I have wanted to try Bluestone for a while but never made it until now. I wasn't disappointed - it's lovely! Modern, clean and quirky layout, good variety on the menu with friendly staff. The café is upstairs from the gift shop and there's a homely feel to the place with nice touches all around. You can look at the various nicknacks, candles and gifts upstairs too. In terms of food, we had both had a panini which was a good sized portion served with fries, homemade coleslaw and a fresh side salad. Prices are reasonable for what you get and the coffee was lovely too. Bluestone is ideal for morning coffee, lunch, meeting up with friends and I'm going back soon to sample something different and possibly some of the delicious looking cakes. So glad we chose Bluestone and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

This was a nice little cafe for lunch with my family, we had cheese and onion toasties with coffee and tea. The toasties came with a small salad everything was very tasty, I didn't like the salad dressing at all so I was glad that it came separately in a small pot.The cafe is very clean and has a nice atmosphere, a bonus is that it is above a lovely gift shop so you can browse the lovely gifts on the way in and out. The staff were very friendly and efficient would definitely recommend this cafe.

We had to go to the Post Office in Barrhead and noticed the tea room sign in the gift shop window. Venturing in, thinking we'd try it for lunch, we almost missed it as there were no obvious signs in the shop indicating that there was a tearoom upstairs.We eventually followed another couple up the stairs at the back and were pleasantly surprised by the light and airy tearoom. There's even a little roof terrace at the back.Service was friendly and welcoming and the menu had a decent range of light meals like soups, toasted sandwiches, panninis and baked potatoes, which suited us perfectly. It was reasonably busy but it didn't take long to get served and we enjoyed the food.We'll almost certainly go back but it really could do with a bit better self-promotion.

Met a friend for a quick sandwich and a drink, nice surroundings, the coffee shop is upstairs, so you have to come through the shop to get to it , but the plus side is , you pass by many nice quirky gifts, and a lovely smell of candles, lotions and potions.sandwich tasted good, and came with a salad, pleasant staff, the only fault iis they had run out of coke that day, and one of us had to choose something else., would return.

First time visit place was lovely nice clean great service we had soup very tasty sandwich was nice great presentation

I am fairly new to town and l like to come here to lunch when my Husband is at work. I love the food and the refined atmosphere and the fact I can sit and spend as much time as I want reading and eating x

Bluestone is a small shop with a coffee shop / cafe restaurant above it. I really like taking my Mum here as it is nice for a light lunch and a coffee. Soup sandwiches and baked potatoes type affair. It is mostly family run and I have to say everyone is really lovely, especially the young folk. Note to mums with young kids. Give planet play a round the corner a go and give the adults a less noisy experience. But come back to bluestone without your kids.

A real must for a lovely lunch in Barrhead. Very peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Great service and quality food at reasonable cost! Have known about the lovely shop for a while but surprised to find this little gem above ☺.

Bluestone is a lovely shop in Barrhead combining a gift shop with a coffee shop. All food is freshly make from local ingredients and presented nicely. All staff are very friendly and welcoming.

This is a lovely little gift/coffee shop, and a nice place to have coffee or an afternoon snack.The little gift shop is a den of lovely gift.

Visited the Cafe for the first time . It is a delightful cafe, food was homemade and fresh. Thank you for a pleasant couple of hours.

loved the decor and home cooked food - a bit expensive but worth it as suroundings and staff very nice

I visited this cafe for the first time with a friend. I was pleasantly surprised by the attractive decor and homely atmosphere. The service was helpful and efficient. We ordered soup and it arrived piping hot with bread and butter. Other items on the menu were sandwiches, baked potatoes and pasta. All the food served to other customers looked appetising. We also had a cake, which we chose from their selection which looked all home made. Very tasty. I would definitely return as the ambience was very relaxed and friendly.

This is the worst shop ever, seems to be run by clueless teenaged girls. It is so cramped inside and when you see the prices charged you will faint. The sparkly items may look attractive in the window, but on closer inspection they are just cistume jewels ovecharged, but the handbags made of PVC total imitations of Radley yet they charge a bomb for them, watch them, if you change your mind and want a refund, you get growled at and a hand written "credit note" is flung at you as "they do not offer cash refunds" Quick to take the cash but will not refund it back. Crooks. Had such a negative experience that I would never go back.

This little gift shop has been in Barrhead for years, and sells gorgeous gifts for all occassions, along with jewellery, candles, unusual greetings cards and so on and so on. but the reason for my mentioning on tripadvisor is that I discovered they have a little coffe shop upstairs, where you can sit in or take away 'lunchtime' food. They offer various delicious and tasty unusual flavours of home made soups, sandwiches, toasties, paninis, salads and pastas. Everything is made completely fresh to order in the immaculate kitchen. You can also visit just for a speciality coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soft drink and select a chunk of home made cake from the yummy selection in the cooler. If you are passing through Barrhead or live in the vicinity, you NEED to give this little treasure a try. It is also very reasonably priced and staff are very pleasant.
