Cafe Circa in Glasgow City

Always, great food and service. Thanks.

Cafe Circa is hands down the best cafe in the west of Glasgow. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces. The food is absolutely delicious - every dish is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a sweet treat, Cafe Circa has something for everyone. What truly sets this cafe apart is the family-run aspect. You can tell that every dish is made with love and care, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful experience. I can't recommend Cafe Circa enough. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a meal. You won't be disappointed.

Just bought my lunch here about 30 mins ago...two rolls in ham salad and cream or tomato soup with rice.....DELSIH....soup was lovely and nice rolls and good amount of filling. Will pop back tommrow👌

Best breakfast in the West End.

Best Scottish breakfast in Glasgow’s West End! Whether meat, vegetarian or vegan, the cooked breakfasts in this family-run West End institution are legendary. Very generous portions, quality produce, and the family who run it are just so warm and welcoming. With the walls of this cafe covered in their family photos over the generations, this place makes you feel so welcome. We have been coming to Cafe Circa for years. It is always busy, always full of children - and dogs! They are totally dog friendly!

Great honest food at reasonable prices. We're already looking forward to our next visit 😊

Food is great and well priced but what I enjoyed the most about this cute café is the homey/cozy atmosphere

Lovely wee cafe serving great food. Came here for brunch and really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

Lived in the area for years and never tried, quite discreet place. First time trying today with my boyfriend and it was great. Both our dishes were lovely and really reasonable prices. Service was really prompt. Didn't book but managed to get a table despite it being busy. Tables outside were being used as it was a sunny day so that probably helped us with availability. Would recommend for a nice chilled brunch - all the pictures inside look great too. Think they also had lots of cakes but didn't sample any today!

Came here for brunch on a sunny day so was nice to be able to sit outside. The food is of a good standard at a decent price too. It seemed to be a nice family run business with friendly helpful staff. The term no thrills come to mind with basic seating, cutlery etc however that suited us as we just wanted a quick bite to eat. The cups were a bit dirty, but apart from this I would return again

Finally visited this place . Wow! Service was spot on, the Veggie Breakfast...well tastey and value for money and my friends pancakes with maple syrup allowed me to see what I'll be having next time. We sat outside in the sun. If you are looking for a hit the spot breakfast/brunch in West End, iv just found it for you.

Nice little cafe with good menu. First time was great. The second a little disappointing compared to the first. Black pudding could have been cooked better and presentation was far superior on my first visit.

What wonderfully, tasty food they serve here! Freshly cooked and delicious. I'd the Burns Benedict - fantastic!!! The boss had French toast with syrup and delicious bacon.....I almost had to carry her out (or leave her sitting) as the portion was so big😂.

Great wee place in the West End. Good ambience, family run , delicious food, looks out to trees then to Crow Road so has a country feel in the city!

We enjoyed some coffees and breakfast rolls here one Saturday morning. Prices were reasonable. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The walls are decorated with photographs of the owners’ family history from the 1930s to present day. This gives it a very authentic vibe. We will definitely visit this cafe again.

Lovely chilled place love the old photos on wall.brings back good memories food very nice and prompt service with nice cheery staff

Great coffee house.Didnt have food but what we saw looked excellent

Looked a lovely little cafe however our experience was far from great. The cafe wasn't very clean inside :( The floors were dirty and cutlery and coffee saucer to! We were 40 minutes before they took a food order then we waited the same again to get food. We had 4 children with us and the younger two were 1 and 4. We were told around 25 minutes after ordering they had no soup for my 1 year old....not ideal when we had ordered a while before and she was hungry. The haggis was brittle it was so overcooked and the bacon and sausages barely cooked at all so my son couldnt eat it. I wasn't going to leave a review however after we paid our bill I expressed our concerns quietly to avoid other diners hearing and the lady didnt seem bothered at all. We were so disappointed on the overall service, waiting time and quality of the food for the price. They were maybe having an off day however the didn't seem concerned about the lack of service and standard of food being served to people.

Excellent. Lovely friendly place. Kept spotless & great food. Had breakfast very nice.

Love this place. Lovely people always accomodating if you ask for something to be tweaked. Very good food.

This has to be one of the friendliest cafes in Glasgow. The staff go that extra mile to keep everyone happy. Great food at reasonable prices.

Got charged 2 pounds 50 for gammon salad roll no salad twice no salad got 2 bits of onion 2 bits of tomato got 4 leafs of basil ffs rip off i got fry up cold beans wtf

Great food, friendly staff, lovely place to eat

Delicious food, fast service. We will back soon.

West end cafe. I like the photos inside. Cake was nice.

Real authentic cafe. Food wholesome, good range of options. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Following recommendations from Nextdoor members we have visited this cafe twice. I like it as I can order scrambled egg, streaky bacon, Irish pork sausage and good sourdough bread with a good coffee. It’s a basic cafe but the service is good, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. I have simple tastes and do not need the smashed avocado and Nduja sausage beloved of the hipster cafes. Second visit not quite as good as the first but the cafe was very busy and this may have impacted on service and food a little - but still up my street. I will definitely return.

Lovely latte & cake, however the 2 guys in the back were continually looking at me & laughing loudly as l was being served, slightly uncomfortable experience.

The food and the service was out standing

Great wee lunch, a welcoming wee cafe, definitely be back

This is our favourite go-to for brunch and lunch in this area. Great food and service, the specials never fail to impress.

Great wee cafe food lovely. Staff very nice .

one of the best breakfasts i've had in glasgow. no frills but the staff were lovely and food fresh

Popped in for brunch to this small family cafe. Plenty outdoor seating as well as inside. White walls covered with family photos taken with original owners right up to present day. Was fascinating. Friendly welcoming staff. Clean toilets too. The coffee and food was excellent. We had the Superfood and Glesga Kiss. Will definitely be back again soon.

Popped in here for lunch today and was served by the lovely Lindsay. We asked for her recommendation to which she replied the Kedgeree. We were not disappointed with both the portion size and the value for money @£6-30 The kedgeree was the best I’ve tasted in any restaurant and served with black pudding and a poached egg atop. It truly was delicious. We were seated outside in the September sun and enjoyed the convivial atmosphere of the place aided and abetted by the very pleasant server Lindsay. We will certainly be back!,

I had a lovely breakfast of french toast and delicious bacon all cooked to perfection. The lady who served me was an absolute delight. Circa is one of those places that instantly makes you feel comfortable.

Staff amazing...service was great and quick.would defo go there again .

Quality unpretentious, fresh food and friendly staff always buzzing people coming and going all the time.

Lovely breakfast.still one of the best breakfasts around.been again and still best breakfast around

This was my regular cafe until the girl charged me £5.70 for toast and tomato! I did ask for two slices of brown toast and a sliced uncooked tomato on the side , as it’s not actually on the menu the girl in her wisdom decided to price match it up with something else on the menu? Scrambled eggs was what she priced it at , I fail to see how she arrived at this decision that a single raw tomato should cost me the same price as a plate of scrambled eggs? I have ordered this in many cafes before and generally it’s not on the menu but they charge you for the toast general £1/£1.50 per slice then roughly 50 pence or a £1 which is probably a fair price to pay for a tomato,But what annoyed me more was when I phoned back to ask if this was a mistake as I thought I had paid someone else’s bill, the girl who actually made this mistake wasn’t very pleasant, not a nice attitude, I really thought she would have thought “ oh sorry that’s quite a bit for what you actually had on the plate, considering just the toast is £2 so basically she charged me £3.70 for one uncooked tomato and thought it was ok ? I’ve been eating here for quite a few years now as have many of my friends and family but I’ll definitely won’t be eating here again after this, plenty more cafes in broomhill and surrounding area that don’t treat their customers like that, which is a pity as I’ve always had nothing but praise for this family run business, time for staff training for “some “ of their staff.

The cafes pictures on the wall took reminded me as if it was my own parents when I lived in Glasgow 50yrs ago. Oh and brunch was delicious

Went with my Dad and his friend today, bacon was almost raw, looked like it had been boiled or microwaved, everything else was cold and greasy. Dirty tables with something that "balled" when you tried to rub it off. My Dad's friend was upset as he recommended it. Visited the toilet 3 times in the last few hours. Never again.

Our go to cafe for brunch at the weekend. The kedgeree is delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. I love the family owned feel of the place (loads of family pics ln the walls)

Great food, good chat, made to feel welcome would recommend

Such a good breakfast! 1st one out since lockdown and it was perfect! So relaxing, wonderful service, music was playing and coffee was great! We had the Scottish full cooked breakfast and the most amazing eggs Benedict with black pudding and avocado - will be going back for sure as the menu had so many options!!

Always good food and friendly staff

Very covid friendly..lovely staff..Great food. Glesga kiss on menu brilliant.

Fantastic cafe. Food is top notch. Coffee is really good. Pet friendly. Covid safe. Well worth a visit..

Lovely friendly family run business. Warm and welcoming.

Great, always nice & friendly. Even the new waitress was very nice & talkative

Lovely family run cafe,food very tastey

This place was ok. Got a bowl or soup which was quite nice. Staff weren't overly friendly, although it could've been because they were really busy.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem near Broomhill. We had booked a table because there weren,t many places we were allowed to go to that had tables available at such short notice. The menu is very "Scottish" and varied. 4 brunches, 3 coffees, pot of tea and cakes all round to finish....£52.00 including couple of quid tip. Great value for great food. Thanks Cafe Circa....we,ll be back!!

I have been here twice. First time good but this time pretty average. Staff not particularly friendly and felt we needed to leave ASAP after we finished our food! Table cleared instantly!

Great, family friendly cafe. Good food, value for money. Would highly recommend. Would highly recommend the Scottish breakfast.

We popped in for a quick coffee, service and food good but in these uncertain times ....waitress was not wearing a mask...no track and trace. Doubt will be back, even though it's a nice cafe.

Have discovered this jewel in the crown in the west end of Glasgow! The food and friendliness of the hardworking staff in this lovely wee cafe is second to none!! Would highly recommend a visit with no hesitation whatsoever 💜

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Legendary ‘lentil soup’. Daily specials are something to watch out for. Family business and family friendly (and pets too). Great for a Glasgow west end stop off

Great place to breakfast or lunch , love the decor . staff are most helpful

Awesome as per usual.. this cafe take pride in what they cook and deliver to customers.. ensuring all parties are happy.. very enjoyable experience as always.. specials have been exceptional too.. and strongly recommend the experience..

Fantastic family orientated eatery in Broomhill, Cafe Circa offers a surprising selection of dishes as well as good ol' breakfast favourites. Combines the traditional scottish cafe with newer feeling menu options along with fabby service and reasonable prices. Highly recommend, makes me wish I lived nearby and could call this my local!

Lovely food and great service. Enjoyed my french toast and bacon. Carrot cake was scrumptious.

Cold, wore my coat whilst I ate breakfast. Great food and lovely staff

Have been going to this cafe for the last 8 years and it just gets better and better. The food is top notch, the service is too. Lovely family run business who can’t do enough for you. This place is no frills that takes you through the decades with family pictures. I’ve tried other places and I’ve worked in the industry before and I know how competitive it can be but the guys refuse to sell out and stick to there values! Even if they continue to allow Sean keep singing ;) keep up the good work McMahons and staff! Much love! Ps one day I’ll have me picture on the wall haha!

Very nice family café with good selection. If you're looking for a tasty breakfast then this is the place to go in Broomhill!

The menu had some great choices, we were quite surprised to be honest. Sadly we just bailed out and had a couple of full Scottish breakfasts, we had previously earmarked the decision. The lady who served us was lovely, and the guys in the kitchen were chirpy and jolly too. The breakfast itself was great, it wasnt greasy at all, the egg was runny and everything was hot and super yummy. The cafe is only a wee spot, which I think adds to the experience, it's that little more personal. A nice touch is the abundance of family photographs, large and small spanning what seems to be several generations. We will be back again, and we will venture beyond the classic breakfast.

Great wee place! How have I managed to miss it before now? Cullen Skink... my favourite soup, and it’s on every day along with lentil. What a fabulous start to my brunch! Delicious bacon roll, cooked perfectly for me and then a slab of lemon cake, homemade perfection.

I went here for brunch with a friend a few weeks ago. He lives locally so is a regular but it was my first time here. I could not decide wether to give this wee gem a 4/5 or a 5/5 and to be honest the only reason it got a 4/5 was because this was my first visit. I am quietly confident that after a second or third visit I will be giving it 5 stars. I had eggs shakshuka and had asked for the eggs to be well done. The dish arrived at its lots of bread which led me to say ‘I’ll never eat all that bread’ but I did - to mop up all the lovely juicy tasty tomatoey sauce that surrounded the eggs. It was just perfect.

Pequeña, acogedora cafetería familiar con un ambiente agradable. Personal amable y atento. Disfrutamos de un bizcocho de vainilla con leche y limón. No comí una comida en esta ocasión, pero el menú tiene variedad y la comida que se come a mi alrededor se veía bien. Era un tamaño de porción decente y me imagino que también era sabroso dado el hecho de que los clientes habían más que limpiado sus platos. Definitivamente regresaría para una comida.

Friendly neighbourhood cafe with good food and coffee. Not fancy but comfortable.

I LOVE THE STAFF AND THE FOOD. REGARDS FROM ROBERT RUTHERFORD XXXX

Always a nice welcome in this family run cafe. Food is tasty and good value. Good range of menu.

Absolutely fantastic fayre and staff. Unlike some places which have style and little substance, this place has both in abundance. Utterly recommended.

Can't fault the breakfast offering always good, but went in for lunch today and was a bit disappointed. Cullen skink was watery and not very flavorful and chunks of potato far too big for my taste. On the whole needed seasoned. Sandwich I had was cheese and onion. Nice and cheesy, could tell it was a decently strong cheddar but the lettuce leaves on it had a fair few black slimey bits and the cucumber didn't seem very fresh.

Eggs eggs eggs eggs. At Cafe Circa they are specialists in eggs. And they are incredible. Don't miss their specials! Cake and coffee are very good too.

Nice small cafe with good food in West side of Glasgow, well worth stopping for coffee and great selection of cakes.

I have always had excellent service and good food at Cafe Circa. I went today with my friend at 3.30pm and waitress was quite obviously not amused with us as first thing she said was, 'We close at 4pm! It wasn't so much what she said but her non verbal communication. We only wanted coffee and biscuit and agreed to leave before 4pm. I get that the place has to close but no need to be annoyed.

Realmente me gusta este café PERO, ¿por qué, oh, por qué permiten que los perros entren a un lugar donde se sirve comida! ! ! Esto se está convirtiendo en la norma ahora y no lo entiendo. Es muy antihigiénico tener un animal en una cafetería o restaurante. Soy alérgico a los perros y también estoy aterrorizado de ellos, por lo que realmente puede arruinar mi experiencia de comer fuera, pero solo desde el punto de vista de la limpieza, creo que tener un animal sacudiendo su pelaje sucio y el riesgo de que ensucie el lugar. . . Es totalmente inaceptable. Habiendo dicho eso, la comida y el servicio en este café son geniales.

Best cafe in cafe in Glasgow by a mile

Met up with friends at this place for breakfast and really pleased with high standard of food and efficiency of service Possible to eat outside which helped facilitate the dog Good place to congregate with friends given its position on a main road

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday - very busy - a promising sign. Got an outside table (weather sunny in Glasgow for a change!). What attracted us was the 'black pudding offerings' on the menu. We had a kedgeree with black pudding and poached egg and an eggs benedict with black pudding. Both were brilliant - I would go as far as to say that the kedgeree was the best I have ever eaten. Reasonable price for amazing brunch. Service friendly, efficient and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Un firme favorito de los nuestros. Mi hijo iba a una sopa de lentejas todos los días después de la escuela. Él es exigente con la comida, pero le encanta la comida aquí. ¡Ojalá él comiera mi sopa con el mismo gusto!

Laid back. Lovely service. Reasonable prices. Great food.

The food was well prepared and presented. Staff were quiet and polite and efficient. The cafe itself was a little tired decor- wise. I would go back again, no problem.

El servicio fue eficiente, pero no demasiado amigable ni particularmente acogedor de la forma en que usted esperaría de la industria hotelera.

Lentil soup is magic. Very family oriented and lovely staff. Also dog friendly.

Superb regular breakfasts every time, served fast, served well with friendly family attention. A please to eat there.

Very friendly, service was very good. Food was well prepared and delicious.

Fantastic we cafe , soup is amazing, 4 choices everyday all homemade,

Amazing staff. Always kind and thoughtful. Food is great! Can recommend enough.

Lovely lunch I had the stornoway soldiers, poached eggs, black pudding and toast. Very tasty.

Have been going here for the last couple of years with family and friends and meant to comment sooner. It’s tucked away at the end of a row of shops on Crow Rd in the ‘trendy’ west-end of my fine city.

My partner and I popped in for breakfast following a hospital appointment at The Beatson . Only a 5 min drive away .

Este es un gran lugar, he estado en él para el desayuno, el almuerzo y los cafés, la calidad de la comida es excelente, al igual que el servicio, todo lo que hemos comido ha sido excelente, agradable, acogedor, de gestión familiar, en particular me encantaron las fotos familiares de varias décadas. La mayoría de las paredes, me hacen sonreír al verlas, ¡me recuerda a las fotos de mi familia y los diferentes estilos de peinados que hemos tenido a lo largo de los años! ? 10 de los 10 ?

La primera vez que visitamos nos hizo más

Good food, friendly and helpful staff

Great bacon rolls .Nice staff.

Esta es una acogedora cafetería de gestión familiar en Broomhill, Glasgow. Está un poco lejos del centro de la ciudad, pero vale la pena el viaje a los suburbios si te gustan los platos a base de huevo para el desayuno / brunch. De hecho, es el mejor de la clase en la ciudad, con Cafe Strange Brew, en el Southside, ¡muy cerca! Además de los huevos Benedict y los favoritos habituales, hay comidas a base de pudín negro, edredones, etc. . . todo excelente. Los miembros de la familia están "al frente de la casa" y en la cocina, por lo que se garantiza una buena calidad. Las fotos familiares en todas partes hacen que el lugar sea muy acogedor y acogedor para los clientes.

Lovely family run, friendly cafe, great food, great value and dog friendly

Varied menu with plenty options, great food and attentive staff.
