Cafe Strange Brew in Glasgow City

Este es un gran lugar de brunch / cafetería local. Interesante elección de platos principales, pero sus rollos de tocino son tan buenos que por lo general es lo que pido! Eso y lo mejor tarde, mientras que en el lado sur hace que esto sea una visita obligada. Es muy buena relación calidad-precio también - el único problema es conseguir un asiento, por lo general está guardado y no aceptan reservas

Primera clase. El personal es encantador y muy atento y la comida es simplemente wow. Tuvimos panqueques y fueron oficialmente los mejores que hemos tenido. Recién hecho con los ingredientes más increíbles. Sin duda volveré y recomendaría que lo haga también. .

Great experience from person on the door right through to food and service once seated (which was an hour wait but worth it!)

Best brunch I have ever had! Went on a busy Sunday Morning, gave our name and went for a walk for 20 minutes before a table was available, we had the Hebridean stack and pancakes- and were full for the rest of the day

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Small cafe but not too tightly spaced. The service was great and the food was amazing. We had the Stornoway Stacks which were just amazing. Great value!

Beautiful coffee, lovely staff, high quality breakfast that tasted amazing. One of the best brunch spots in Glasgow. Total winner with the kids as they LOVE the pancakes.

Faultless food,drinks and service. Enjoyed meal. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, well prepared and presented. Friendly staff.

As always the food was amazing , stornaway stack was cooked to perfection. Coffee was good also. Very freindly staff. Look foward to my next visit.

I ventured here after being recommended the place as the perfect venue to fill you up for the day. And it definitely did that. Situated in the heart of Shawlands it’s well in tune with the vibrant indie scene of the neighbourhood, trendy without being pretentious. It’s also dog friendly as well. Tables are well spaced out so you don’t get the feeling of being over crowded when it’s busy which it tends to be. Staff are great, showing a genuine interest in the cafes new visitors and regulars. The food is excellent. I went for the Stornoway Stack which consists of black pudding, bacon, tattie scones, poached eggs and chilli jam with sourdough toast. I couldn’t fault it. There was enough to keep me full for most of the day despite having it in the morning. It was all washed down with a flat white coffee which hit the spot. With the perfect mix of style and substance there’s nothing strange about this cafe.

The staff are really welcoming and made loads of helpful recommendations. The food was brilliant. We had the Stornaway stack and the Nutella pancakes and both were gorgeous.

Believe the hype. A wee wait for a table but it was well worth it. Superb brunch. Lovely coffee. Friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Staff couldn't have been more friendly and genuine. Both specials were delicious and portions were huge for the price. Handy to have a text service for table wait too. 10/10!

Absolutely love this place ! Food is top tier and the prices are so reasonable. The staff are obviously busy but that doesn’t stop them from providing amazing service !! Every time we come we are constantly blown away. Love it here ! Xxxx

Maybe one of the best brunches I’ve had. Great value, incredible service, and delicious food. Will 100% be back when next in Glasgow! Absolutely faultless.

We were visiting Glasgow for the cycling championships and this cafe came highly recommended several times. It’s a busy wee place and that is no accident. Customer base is a mixed bag, and menu items to suit every budget. Food was plentiful and a fair price point. Staff were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is it is quite noisy, but not really a complaint as there is virtually nothing they can do about that, as I said, it’s a very busy place filled with the sounds of happy chatter. Coffee was great and managed to purchase a bag of the coffee they use which upon research is a glasgow ethical roster.

Wow what a lovely start to the day. Full of chatter and morning hellos. We were welcomed into the cafe and shown to a free seat. With drinks ordered we were left to digest the menu and specials. I had to have the buffalo mozzarello peaches and ham in a wonderful salad , every mouthful was delightful. Husband a wonderful Bacon delux with eggs and fried potatoes. Freshly prepared and tastefully presented Looking forward to returning

After the reviews, I was expecting a bit more from this cafe. It was nice but more average than expected. The cafe was quite small and right on the main road so there wasn't a lot of atmosphere. The food was fine but not the breakfast/lunch in Glasgow.

A lovely brunch served by fantastic staff. Particularly Beth and Lea were wonderful and attentive. We can recommend the pancakes and we were happy to wait for a table.

Staying in Glasgow for the cycling World Championships, we visited Cafe Strange Brew twice on consecutive breakfast times. That alone tells you most of what you need to know. I had a special on the first visit with pastrami, pickles and sauerkraut on toast with poached eggs and the most complimentary tasting sauce. For the second visit, I ordered their staple Stornoway Stack with two generous slices of black pudding and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive too.

A small cafe so expect to wait for a table but it's worth it. The coffee is excellent. The food is fabulous - come hungry, portions are big. Service was great. Exceptionally well priced. We will be back.

Went during a lunch break and on entering, was swiftly ushered out of the cafe. When asking if any tables were free, there were none - even though tables were empty. When asking for more information about the menu e.g. ‘fried potatoes’, we were told...

Great tasting coffee - highly recommend the “Stornaway Stack” - very friendly staff and good value - can be very busy at peak times but well worth the wait

I had a friend visiting from Dublin who is celiac and wanted to show off the Glasgow brunch scene to her. I visit quite regularly and happy I chose to come here as it never disappoints - she said it was one of the best...

I'd been following Cafe Strange Brew for a few years and finally made it - it did not disappoint! My pancakes were exceptional, I think the best pancakes I've ever had. I took the special, Banoffee. The flavours were all delicious and a generous size...

Excellent food, excellent service, friendly welcoming little place that is surrounded by other places to eat yet it is queued out the door so it must be doing something very right!! Very reasonably priced for the quality and portion size and a very good varied...

Excellent food, coffee and service. Great atmosphere and welcomed children and dog. Pancakes were the best I've tasted. We'll be back often.

Having woke up craving a decent brunch, nowhere in my local area would suffice so decided to hop on the train out to Shawlands and head to Cafe Strange Brew. I had my usual of the Stornaway Stack, which you can never go wrong with!...

Fourth time we’ve travelled to the south side especially to eat at Cafe Strange Brew (my husband grew up in Shawlands) and it is the last. No tables available inside so had to eat outside near the wheelie bins, we thought Ok as we like...

Had breakfast and a flat white which didn’t seem like flat white. Very dark in colour unlike any speciality coffee I’ve had. I would have pointed it out to staff but they were rude and unwelcoming. Breakfast was sickening. Don’t know if it’s a one...

Bit of a wait for a table but totally worth it. Probably one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a cafe. Black pudding was excellent, great addition of potato cakes on top of the sourdough, and the plentiful chilli jam around the dish was...

Waited 30 mins for a table, which was fine. I had lovely heirloom tomatoes on sourdough with avocado and pine nuts and my companion enjoyed their tofu burrito. It’s a little steep in price but it is very pleasant, the service is good and the...

These pancakes were to die for. I wasn’t familiar with this place as just visiting Glasgow for a few weeks but it’s obviously very popular from the queue’s to get a table. Love that it’s walk-ins only. Would definitely come here again to try more...

Beautifully presented, tasty food and very friendly staff. Really enjoyed it. One thing to note is that the cafe is very dog friendly (a big bonus for lots of people) and this was fine for me but my brunch companion is scared of dogs and...

If I could give 6 stars I would. Staff were lovely. Had to wait for a table but it was managed efficiently. Coffee and food are great. Can’t wait to return

The food here is nice, albeit a bit overpriced. The issue we had was the service. We waited over an hour for a table which we were happy to do, only to be asked what drinks we wanted mid taking our coats off and before...

Amazing gluten free brunch. First visit will be back. Brilliant hazelnut and chocolate torte. Gluten free bread was lovely

One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Amazing staff, absolutely delicious food (went two days in a row). Not surprised to see they have 5/5 for reviews.

The best food. The best staff. I would move in here if I lived in Glasgow! Could not recommend enough! Doggy friendly and pram friendly too.

We were staying in the centre of Glasgow and took a short 7 minute train journey to Crossmyloof. Turn right out of the station, right again at the top of the road and then it is a short distance on your right, only a 5...

four of us went for a late breakfast, all the food was exellent and well worth the money, service was great too.

Highly recommend this place. Been several times and keep going back. Great food and coffee and love the vibe of the cafe as well as the surrounding area. Also great if you want to sit with a coffee in Queens Park nearby on a day...

Really great food. Diverse menu and everything is top notch. Really warm, friendly staff makes it a wonderful experience.

The best breakfast I’ve ever had in Glasgow. Staff were very welcoming and the cafe had a great feel to it. Very good quality coffee and my daughter thought the tea tasted good as well. I had the chorizo hash with manchego cheese and my...

Managed to get a seat inside met lots of dog friends, was served by another girl but took a shining to Iona wears dungarees and loads of arm tattoos with blonde hair. Also bought the cafe strange brew bag. Love the decor!

Went to breakfast with a friend and the food was great, service was friendly. I had eggs, sausage, hash browns with Blood pudding but hold the beans.

Fresh branch, excellent flavours, super friendly service! It was worth the wait! Prepare to wait a bit as always busy and a small place!

Visited again as was in Glasgow again aed can I say, perhaps even bettir..restaurant is immaculate, food is affordable and great portion sizes. Staff friendly aet attentive

We had a light lunch at Cafe Strange Brew midweek. The food was excellent and the quantities good. The service was fine, but, why do so many restaurants let themselves down with old, tatty, dirty menus. They seemed weeks old. It felt so bad that...

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed my avocado and poached eggs with black pudding (can't remember the menu name) - it was a knockout meal. Generous portion and extremely tasty. Followed up by a gorgeous piece of chocolate and ginger cake which was...

Fantastic place for brunch, great food, great service and all round top class environment. This will become our regular brunch spot for sure. Thanks

I was blown away by how much I enjoyed the food I had here, I will certainly be returning next time I'm in Glasgow! I had the eggs Stornoway which was a very generous portion and was soo tasty and looked beautiful. The waitress was...

The place might not be much to look at but it is without doubt a great place to eat. The food is top notch from the breakfast stack to the fruit and pancakes. Great quality ingredients, well presented and sooo tasty. The staff are friendly,...

We go to cafe strange brew for takeaways most Sundays (as the sit in is usually extremely busy) and after maybe, 15-20 take outs and a few sit ins, I can definitely add my two pence. This is a good, good breakfast place. Consistently good....

All of the staff, from greeting, all through service and upon leaving, were extremely polite, hard working and friendly. The approach to covid is the perfect balance of welcoming and looking after people. We’re quite glad it was spaced out especially as we had our...

Beautiful place wanted to visit for some time and it did not disappoint the menu was fab and some great specials both opted for pancakes and wow they were incredible accompanied with some beautiful coffees. The staff were very friendly and chatty and appreciated the...

My girlfriend and I came here for our 1 year anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. We arrived shortly after opening to make sure we got a table, but still wish bookings were allowed. The food was epic! I had the pancakes with banana, salted caramel...

3 of us came here for brunch. It was my first trip but definatley will not be my last. The menu looked so delicious i really struggled to decide what to have. The food was some of the best brunch food I have ever had...

First visit to cafe strange brew and it was AWESOME! Had to choose the Stornoway stack, oh wow, delicious, and very filling! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Had to wait 40 mins for a table but they took our number and...

I happened upon here one afternoon in August, and it was so lovely (food and service) that it has become my favourite place for brunch. So far, I've always had Brew Benedict (sometimes with smoked salmon) but all the food I've seen in there looks...

Found the place on trip advisor and I must safe I was delighted. This was a pre cinema 40th Birthday for my wife and a day with no kids 😂. I had the Stornoway stack and my wife the pancake stack. Words can't describe just...

We’ve been visiting this place with my husband for the past couple of years. Love it to bits! ❤️ There is no better place to do breakfast/brunch. Always great and fresh food, amazing people and that vibe only Strange has ❤️

Excellent food and brilliant service, COVID safety on point. Can’t wait to visit Glasgow again, if ya love brunch, it’s a must

Wanted to visit here for ages as always queues outside but managed to walk straight in today and I was not disappointed. I had the Stornoway stack which is toasted sourdough bread, potato scones, Stornoway black pudding, crispy bacon, poached eggs and Sriracha sauce. Hefty...

1st visit. Great service. Spotlessly clean. Drinks icy cold. I had the chorizo mash dish which was simply epic. One tiny complaint I found the room harsh and deafening as there are no sound absorbing surfaces anywhere. Perhaps it's deliberate so customers don't stay too...

First class experience every time we've eaten here. On our most recent visit the cafe was full but we were able to get takeaway and eat on the benches just outside. Brilliant brunch and lunch options, including a few dishes with a really good kick,...

As soon as we sat down they bought a bowl of water for our dog. The service was great as was the food and drink. I had the Green Shakshuka, which was amazing! My kids had the brittle pancakes which they said was yummy too.

The brunch here was to die for!! Visited with friends on Saturday. There was a 45 minute wait time, the lady kindly took our number and texted us when the table was ready. It was soooo worth the wait!! The food was just absolutely incredible!!...

We both had the black pudding and poached egg dish and it was amazing! The loveliest service too! So safe and tables distanced and hand sanitizer easily accessible. Will definitely be back!

Just had probably the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten in my 44 years and my son loved his pancakes this morning. I’ll definitely be back the next time I visit Glasgow!!

Visited today for brunch , had thee fluffiest puffiest most delicious pancakes truly the best you'll find in Glasgow, they were accompanied by sweet juicy cubes of apple, biscoff crumbs&spread and a perfect portion quinel of mascarpone cannot recommend this eatery highly enough, whole menu...

Can’t wait to visit again. Great food, range and value. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Recommended to work colleagues in our local offices.

The cafe is spotless if too small the staff are friendly and helpful the food is delicious and everything else is first class

Was in the Shawlands area of Glasgow for work, and after going for a morning roll elsewhere, I was in need of my daily coffee fix, so decided use the chance of being in the area to visit Cafe Strange Brew, as it is somewhere...

My partner and I went here for Brunch as it is a small place it is busy but they have a good system of taking your name and calling you when they have a table. We waited about half an hour and it was worth...

What a special little cafe, now been few times when in in the area and given the current circumstances they exceed themselves with a great menu, that specials board ( waffles with poached pear etc, wow!) and such lovely staff. Well done and thank you.

Having recently moved to Shawlands this was one of the first places I went for takeaway when COVID restrictions were lifted and have been multiple times since they re-opened for takeaway brunch, lunch, coffee and cakes. Haven't attempted to sit in yet as always very...

If I could leave 6 stars I would, absolute brunch of dreams. Was really impressed with their cocid handling. I have autism and struggle to wear a mask, but they showed me to a seat well out of the way of everyone and looked after...

I've been coming here for a long time now and I really struggle to find anything that compares. Sadly i don't live in Glasgow so it's a bit of a treat when I do get to visit. I visited once they opened back up after...

Back once again to my favourite hangout. During this pandemic I’ve missed some things more than others, but Strange Brew has defiantly been one of the places I’ve been buzzing to get back to once they reopened. As always you can’t fault the place. Good...

Staying locally we’ve managed to have takeaways and even a delivery during lockdown from Strangebrew but today was the first time we’ve been able to sit in. Such a lovely experience. I know times are really weird just now and here the cafe space is...

I've been here a handful of times in the past and always been impressed by the food. My most recent visit was on Sunday. Despite the challenges COVID19 presents, I enjoyed this visit just as much. The cafe is pretty small and can get very...

Even in the midst of the strange and uncertain time we are all experiencing, you can still count on Cafe Strange Brew delivering the goods 👌 Takeaway brunch is made easy with the help of the attentive and welcoming staff accompanied by with the quick...

Staff working hard to operate safely in Covid times so we had to wait for a table but well worth it. Incredible food, lovely service, highly recommend. We visited on our way out of Glasgow heading south and it was a great stop.

Top marks for the Covid system in place👍🏼 I had the Strange Brew Burrito (veg) which was divine, with a mint tea. Friendly helpful service, will be back

Absolute favourite place to have brunch in Glasgow.. though we may be biased as we've had the privilege of living around the corner from it for a couple of years. SO happy they're back - doing takeaways for the moment, but still serving up plenty...

I have been meaning to go to Cafe Strange brew since it first opened. Decided to take a relaxing day off today and bus it to Shawlands with a good book in hand. The food was really worth it. I chose off the specials board...

Cosy wee cafe nestled in the heart of the Southside. Great variety of flavours available on the menu, had the most amazing butterbean and hummus toast dish! Tried their chai and cherry cake too, was delicious! Staff were also very lovely!

Very nice flavor combinations in the specials (I'm a sucker for rhubarb) and the pancakes had excellent flavor.

Treated to a visit here by friends who couldn’t speak highly enough of the place so was delighted that a table of 4 was available when we arrived as people were queuing soon after. Take over of old shop with minimal updating of decor, old...

I loved visiting cafe strange brew. I had heard so much about it so was dying to give it a try and it did not disappoint! I had pancakes with bacon, banana and maple which was incredible. The staff are also very friendly :) I...

Flawless service , great food and massive portions- what's not to love ? Team all seemed happy to be in their work which is rare in such busy establishments - we had to wait but well worth it. Stornaway Stack a favourite and I'm almost...

Always very good and always very busy. You might need to wait for a table and it will likely be mobbed which is the only ‘negative’.

Having heard only great things and unsuccessfully managing to get in to eat a few months earlier (it was a very busy Saturday morning and I was tight for time) we decided to visit on a rare Monday morning off. The place was still busy...

I have been there second time with my friend. The service was quick and friendly. The food was lovely too. The price is reasonable . I will be recommending this place to everybody .

Delicious breakfast! Generous portion sizes. Lovely gorgeous smiling waitresses. Everything was lovely. Would come back again.

Popped in myself for lunch. Food was great, I mean really great. The soup was to die for. Service was spot on as well. I was clearly wanting peace to read; I was given space, whilst still provided with the appropriate level of service. Nice...

Went for breakfast this morning. Walked in and seated straight away. Drinks order taken and coffee turned up really quickly. I was unable to make a decision for what I wanted and was guided by the staff. What a great recommendation they made! Food was...

Portion size, menu options, coffee, taste of food, availability for gluten free. Literally NOTHING not to love. Have already recommended it to several friends and were only there this afternoon. Thank goodness visited on a wed lunch time as it was packed (but quick, efficient,...

One of the most amazing dishes I think I've ever had. We went to meet a friend for a late lunch in Shawlanda. We popped in to Cafe Strange Brew for food. Not that many vegan options really (but their gig is really eggs, so...

Found this place on Trip Advisor during a weekend stay in Glasgow. It came highly recommended and people warned of a possible wait for a table but that it was worth it. Would definitely agree! We actually only had to wait 10 minutes (this was...
