Eat Deli in East Renfrewshire

This used to be a really atmospheric good place for food and hot drinks. Especially cakes! Lunch has been good in the past but the prices have gone up. I now don't find the cost for the food is right. They have flipped from good range of cakes to less cakes and large cookies at around £4.5. The cookies are over sweet and just not as good as the previous cake offerings. Please go back to large selection of cakes! Pleased to say the coffee is the best on the street still. There is a toilet here and has disabled access once you are in through the door. There is a large step to get into Eat Deli at the entrance. The service was fine. Getting items ordered in a good time. There is free WiFi. There is a specials boards too and normally have a soup of the day on.

£26.50 for 3 breakfast rolls?!?!

Calm atmosphere, but unfortunately complete rip off for the food. Artisan sandwich prices for a bit of bread with close to nothing for the filling. Staff were practically non verbal and unable to think of a solution after missing items to our order too. Left waiting and I’ve got the patience of a saint…I never find myself complaining, but our hot drinks came overspilling and with faulty lids. Not a great experience at all.

I live locally and am so happy to have such a great place nearby. Their food is absolutely delicious, really great coffee, lovely staff and the best rocky road I've ever had! You sometimes have to wait a wee while for your food, but it's always worth it. Would highly recommend!

Love the food here. I took a member of staff here for our lunch. She thoroughly enjoyed it. I would say it is quite costly, but fresh, tasty ingredients, well prepared and homemade cakes make it worth an extra expense.

Went for breakfast here on a Sunday morning mainly because the cafe across the road was unexpectedly closed. The positives are the food is quite tasty and fresh. The downsides are that the menu options for breakfast are somewhat sparse and unusual. For example there isnt a full cooked breakfast available, "Eggs Benedict" is made with pulled pork rather than ham / bacon and "Eggs Caledonia" is made with cooked salmon rather than cold smoked salmon as would be expected. The value for money for the amount of food you get isnt very good either compared to other cafes nearby.

My absolute favourite place for brunch. Delicious, freshly cooked food with lots of interesting veggie and vegan options.

Lovely food, lovely staff, accommodating of young kids, great coffee, excellent food

Hadn't been in Eat for years. Delighted to say that it's still as good as ever. Stornoway Stack was delicious. The chilijam was an inspired touch. Recommended.

Really good coffee, a proper flat white, not just a low foam latte

One of the best tasting food in the area. Everything is home made. Service is great and the staff very friendly. We will now use this place as a regular stop off when in the area. Well worth the visit

As a local to be honest, the lack of service is the main reason why I hardly ever come in… which is a complete shame. My family and I hardly feel welcomed or looked after by the staff. Most of them look like they don’t want to be there. We had to get our own condiments, napkins and cutlery the other day and ask at the counter to be served as the staff were talking to each other and not paying any attention to the customers… The food is absolutely spot on, flavoursome and great portions!! It’s what keeps it going in our opinion. It’s a real shame and has so much potential to be a great little spot.

Great breakfast burrito flavours. Good coffee. Quick service even though place full on a Sat morning. Friendly chat with the person who served the burrito. Will be back.

Eat Deli is consistently the best offering for coffee and food in the Southside. Their coffee from Bei & Nannini (Lucca) is of such good quality, and it is prepared with care at Eat. The hot food and lunch options are reliably delicious. The Huevos Rancheros are a personal favourite. Eat Deli also admits dogs which is convenient for me as a dog owner, especially if visiting after a walk at Greenbank Gardens. I always try and pay a visit to Eat when I'm in Glasgow. They have also provided our Christmas dinner with their catering options for the past 3 or so years.

Looks lovely and food is good but far, far too expensive.

Visited this place based on google reviews. Absolutely loved it. Pleasant atmosphere, amazing staff and delicious food. A must visit whether you are craving for a revitalising coffee or want to stuff on a brunch plate.

Seems that as a non- local, I don't warrant any acknowledgement whatsoever. First time was amazing, 2nd time okay, third time- dreadful. So I'll no longer bother with this establishment anymore and take my money elsewhere. Maybe ur team needs to be aware that not all ur potential customers live in Clarkston/ Newton mearns and those that have just spent £200 in the hairdressers have some money.

Superb quality of food. Food is pricey but worth it. Coffee is brilliant too. And dog friendly!

Looking for something different and fantastic for lunch? Then this is the place to go👍

There's a nice atmosphere inside the cafe and it was pleasantly busy. I had an americano and a slice of fritata, which came to about £14-15. It was a nice fritata, it came with a refreshing side salad, and the coffee was also good, but I think it was pretty expensive for what it was. I split my time between here and London, and I think it would probably be an average price in London.

Food is always delicious and the staff are helpful and friendly

Can't fault the food and menu but instead of a smile and a "Hello" you mostly get a slightly confused look when you go in.

Small independent deli with amazing food and drinks. Service great. Not many tables so you have to go early or wait your turn but definitely worth it🤗

Staff friendly, service was excellent, parking limited. It used to be a deli but now it's a nice cafe. Will be back.

The food and coffee here is amazing, you will not get better in Clarkston. The staff are great and the interior is modern with a chilled atmosphere. The steak burger is on another planet of greatness.

Food great, predictably good which is great, staff nice, hot chocolates delicious!

Excellent food. Great service. Gluten free catered for.

Best cappuccino in the city. Love the Real chocolate flakes 😋

Just stopped off for a coffee, first time in this Bistro. Fantastic, food was delicious and all of it homemade. The sausage roll with chorizo and pork was excellent. Great value for money. Will definitely be back.

Love this place. Living in Busby, this is such a welcome addition to the area. Coffee is so nice, and the food is outstanding. I don’t know where they found the chef but they must insist he never leaves. My favourite is the mushroom hash, the chunky chips, and the shakshuka. Mmmmm. Oh, and I’m not gluten-free but the gluten free desserts taste phenomenal. It’s a little small (hence why 4 not 5 stars), which means you often struggle to get a seat and you can be waiting a while ☹️ but, I suppose that’s testament to how popular it is. I’ve been coming here regularly for years and I have introduced lots of people to it, and shall continue to do so ☺️

Very quick service, friendly and lovely cake selection.

Excellent deli with great food and good service. Had an excellent breakfast and the coffee is outstanding. Recommended.

Coffee is always good but annoyed today that service took over 25 minutes to provide drinks and cake. So close to cancelling our order it wasn't even busy. Normally enjoy visits here.

As usual amazing food and customer service

Great breakfast. Good ambience. Staff very friendly and helpful

I was swayed to give 3 or 4 stars. Reason being, deli though may I stress service is first class, the decor & lay out quite dull.& dated. Tables very close together & toilet facilities poor & I mean very poor.. Had a lunch before toilet gate & found a very dark shade of a grey mop in a bucket off water (loosely used ) to clear mop floors. It was also noted waste bin over flowing again after having eaten...yes it was poor & 3 stars for food, despite person who served meal, in honesty had forgotten to wash... it was an experience in Deli and would not recommend it at all. As before guys serving behind bar srea were superb. Waiter or Cook I hooe not, tidy yourself up & owner or handy man etc get the place sorted & too many items on blackboard was like reading a long book! Visit at your perol

First class customer service, decent place for a coffee or snack

Lovely meal.staff were exceptionally good and went out of their way to accommodate all needs!!!

Delicious Stornoway Black pudding poached egg bloomer toast 😋 👌

Good food. Good coffee. Welcoming staff. Can't ask for more.

Delicious apple and cinnamon scones.

Delicious brunch, friendly staff and lovely wee cafe

Great food and coffee, loads of gluten free options too.

Simply the best brunch and coffee.

Came in for soup and a sandwich- the price was pretty high which I don’t mind if it’s worth it…this time it wasn’t- the soup was under seasoned and Luke warm at best! The sandwich for the price I’d expect more filling too. The woman who I believe is the owner ignored me for ages whilst talking to another staff member then I didn’t receive particularly good customer service from her when she served me and rolled her eyes at me when I couldn’t make my mind up on what coffee I wanted. I’ve came here a few times and now this is definitely my last visit as the service doesn’t merit the price.

Absolutely love this place.... The food, coffee and staff, just superb

Lovely lunch, ordered poached eggs with avocado and mushrooms, and was absolutely delicious. Nice friendly staff too.

Had a great trip to this local gem. Beautiful cakes for all dietary requirements friendly staff and lovely vibe

Ridículamente caro. Pedí un bocadillo de puerco desmenuzado y esencialmente me sirvieron un rollo de Gregg relleno de puerco desmenuzado frío y una montaña de ensalada de col a un lado. Mi esposa disfrutó de la suya al igual que mi hija, pero más que nada el precio inflado se me quedó en la garganta. .

Realmente impresionado con la relación calidad-precio y la calidad de la comida en este deli ocupado. Llegó a la 1. 30 y pasé 2 horas charlando y comiendo. En ningún momento fuimos apurados. Gran huevos florentinos y pastel de pastel Jaffa! ! Definitivamente volveremos. Servicio amigable impecable también.

I needed to take my aging aunt for lunch on a Monday which is not a good day for maximising choice. Eat Deli was open and confirmed they would have a table available. My aunt had a substantial carrot and coriander soup which she said was tasty. My wife and I had the chowder which we enjoyed.

Tengo mucha suerte de tener este café cerca. La cocción es excepcional, en particular los bollos. El café; No puedo expresar lo bueno que es y hacerle justicia. Es seguro decir que es el mejor con diferencia dentro del área local. El personal es amable e incluso puedo visitar a mi cachorro. Tiene un ambiente local encantador. Bien vale la pena una visita.

If there was such a thing, then I would like to be on a board for the best Eggs Benedict and Eat Clarkston would get a 5 star rating. I rarely try anything else but their coffee passes muster as well. Fab wee place.

A nice compact and friendly restaurant, with very good service, and good menu and a selection of drinks to keep everyone happy.

This is one of the few local cafes which really delivers. The layout is a bit odd, as if the tables for customers were the last thought, but the food, deli and coffee are good - not cheap. Certainly my favourite Clarkestone coffee shop.

My husband had above and when it came to the bill, I had to question the price of the slice of carrot cake — £4.50 !! Even London doesn’t charge that!

Eat Deli es nuestro café local y siempre es un placer ir allí. Es cálido y acogedor y realmente hacen todo lo posible para satisfacer cualquier necesidad dietética. La comida tiene esa combinación ganadora de ser simple pero excelente. A menudo vamos para un brunch familiar, o simplemente té y pastel (incluso hacen té redbush), o en los días en que está demasiado ocupado para encontrar un asiento, llevar sopa. Mi hija es vegana y le encanta el tofu revuelto. Este es el mejor café en el área de Clarkston para escuchar a sus clientes y no es de extrañar que los asientos se llenen rápidamente.

Visité este restaurante el 22 de diciembre para almorzar tarde. Llegué con mis 2 miembros de la familia a las 3 aproximadamente. 30 hs. El restaurante no estaba lleno, había otros 9 comensales en total. El restaurante estaba bien dotado de personal, conté al menos 5 miembros del personal. Tomamos una mesa y, después de 15 minutos, un miembro del personal no nos había contactado, así que tuvimos que ir al mostrador para pedir los menús. Todos tomamos nuestras decisiones, pero de nuevo nadie vino a tomar un pedido, así que tuvimos que ir al mostrador para hacer el pedido. La comida llegó y fue absolutamente deliciosa, pero queríamos más bebidas. Una vez más, debido a la falta de atención de este establecimiento bien dotado, tuvimos que pedir servicio. Pedimos postres que fueron servidos encima de nuestros platos sucios! Los camareros no intentaron limpiar nuestros platos sucios, simplemente colocó los postres en la mesa ya abarrotada. Tuvimos que limpiar la mesa nosotros mismos, ¡pero el personal no parecía darse cuenta de que ese era su trabajo! Otra demora se produjo para la factura. En esa etapa nos dimos por vencidos y nos quedamos en el mostrador esperándolo. Elegimos este restaurante en primer lugar porque queríamos evitar las cadenas de café cercanas (y, en nuestra opinión, sin alma) que estaban llenas. Eat Deli tenía muchas mesas disponibles. Ahora creo que sé por qué. Buena comida, pero el servicio sorprendentemente pobre significa que no volveré.

Visitamos hoy para el almuerzo, inicialmente tuvimos que pedir menús y luego, después de esperar 15 minutos, tuvimos que ir al mostrador para pedir nuestra comida, aunque contamos con 7 miembros del personal a la vista. La comida era increíble y servida por un joven, el único miembro eficiente del personal. Luego nos acercamos al mostrador para pedir más té, agua y un brownie. . . La camarera entregó el fabuloso brownie y se fue a caminar, pero como una idea de último momento decidió retirar 2 de los platos sucios. . . . . . . Tuve que limpiar el resto de los platos sucios y las teteras (y pedir el agua) para que disfrutáramos de nuestro segundo plato. . . . . Siempre les dejo una propina, pero en realidad creo que, como era nuestra camarera, ¡el día en que deberían haberme dado una propina! ! !

Estaba almorzando con un amigo, visitando a Clarkston para ponerse al día. Cuando pedimos que la camarera le gritara a mi amiga, lo cual me pareció muy grosero y no me hizo feliz. La comida es buena.

Siendo nativo del suburbio, ¡pensé que la desaparición de Boni's Cafe sería el fin de la cultura de los cafés en Clarkston! No tan. . . Eat Deli es un buen establecimiento, aunque esta es mi primera revisión, he estado probando sus delicias durante algunos años. El capuchino con chocolate simple rallado es increíble, al igual que toda la repostería casera fresca. Buenos sándwiches de desayuno y una sopa realmente buena, ¡por favor sigan con el buen trabajo!

I went in for a coffee and was thinking of buying a brownie as it looked lovely. I noticed all the cakes were covered either by glass or else cling film, but the brownies and scones were uncovered. There were a couple of flies buzzing around and one landed on the brownies on the stand. The lady behind the counter noticed there were flies around the cakes and she tried to swat them away. I’m not sure if she heard me talking about the flies buzzing around however after about another 10 mins or so she then took them away, I thought to discard them, but she covered them with cling film. Someone was then sold one after the fly had been sitting on the brownies, which was sickening. Shame as the coffee I bought was very nice, but the food hygiene standards I would be dubious of.

Great coffee and food and wonderful bread. Friendly and helpful service in pleasant and interesting surroundings. A real gem in the area and will visit again.

Always try to pop in when in the area the food is always fantastic the service outstanding . I would highly recomended having some lunch here the food never fails to hit the spot .

Have been coming here for lunches for years as I work close by. The soup is wonderful ! Love the cakes and scones too.

I found this small coffee shop by accident and what a lovely surprise. The cappuccino was the best I have tried and had lovely scrambled eggs & toast. I normally pop into the Costa next door but Costa is not a patch on this coffee shop. Will definitely be back. As the salted caramel cake was delicious.

I pop into eat deli at least once or twice a week and it's perfect for me. I'm usually by myself and I don't have a load of time so the speedy service and great quality food is really appreciated. The coffee is a really high standard, the soups are terrific, they change daily and the variety is excellent. The cakes are out off this world and the staff are so welcoming. Excellent job!!

Mi marido y yo fuimos para el café de la mañana y un bollo. La única mesa disponible era cubierto con migas. La camarera quitado algunas de ellas con la parte de atrás de su mano, me quitaron el resto con un pañuelo de papel y también las sillas que estaban destruidos". "crumby Me di cuenta de migas a lo largo de la costura de incrustado la banqueta acolchada y el suelo estaba francamente sucio. Mi café, un capuchino era muy bueno, y mi marido disfrutó su negro descafeinado, pero el bollo que tenía era verdaderamente horrible, muy duro y seco. De hecho me preguntaba si era un día antes de bollo. Me rendí tratando de comer. Cuando fui a pagar me mencionó el bollo a la cajera, quien sólo se encogió de hombros y realmente no me interesaba - - - - - por lo que yo pagué 8 libras, 50 por 2 cafés y un bollo de comestible. Yo había ido a comprar algunos pasteles también, pero el hecho de que estaban mintiendo al descubierto justo en frente del mostrador me quitó. No volveremos a este Deli hasta los problemas de limpieza, sobre precios y la actitud del personal se arregle.

Lovely to visit Eat Deli in the now homogenised Clarkston. We enjoyed delicious soups and salads let down by poor service and high prices - £4.90 for soup and bread.

Been a regular for years and the food and coffee are superb and the staff are consistently giving great service combined with a smile at all times

Popped in for take away soup and a gluten free brownie to eat while working from home. Both were delicious. So glad you exist just up the road. Good food = happiness. Thank you.

Estado aquí muchas veces como vivo justo arriba de la carretera. La comida en general es de gran calidad y sabroso y bien preparado (a veces un poco lento)

Having visited a number of times and always enjoyed the breakfast and brunch options I have noticed the service is a little erratic at best.

Regrettably coffee was very average - mine might be a difficult crusade, but I wish Glasgow coffee shops would improve their coffee - just go to Paper Cup or Cottonrake - that’s how to do it!

Best brunch in Southside of Glasgow with lovely friendly staff. The homemade cakes are great and the specials menu for lunch also sounded lovely.

Always good service and excellent food. Great deli. Good scones and good coffee.Great atmosphere. Always worth a visit.

Eat Deli offers a range of tasty, healthy, meals, desserts and fine pieces as they say in Aberdeen. The staff are friendly and get to know their customers in an unobtrusive way. Highly recommend!

He sido un cliente habitual durante años y siempre disfrute de una rápida parada para almorzar cuando estoy trabajando en casa, tomando un asiento en el deli en el banco de la ventana. Mejor sopa en el lado sur y café mucho mejor que el 'café cadena cerca. La sopa y sándwiches no son baratos, pero la calidad es normalmente siempre en el clavo. El servicio puede ser a suertes dependiendo que es. Hoy era genial, pero otras personas han comentado en este aspecto y estoy de acuerdo que son buenas. Pero sobresaliente hoy

La comida siempre ha sido decente y vale la pena aguantar el pésimo servicio y personal grosero. La última visita será la última visita ya que la comida no estaba en su habitual estándar y el servicio era desagradable.

Wow! Amazing carrot cake and a really decent flat white coffee. No need for lunch now as the carrot cake was huge. If you are in the Clarkston area in Glasgow and it's time for a break, stop in to Eat Deli for a really nice, friendly, local "People make Glasgow" experience. The name is a little deceptive as it's really a sit in cafè with a great menu selection.

Decided to try this place this morning for a late breakfast around 10.30am. Both of us ordered the bacon, egg and Stornaway black pudding on Italian toast as it sounded delicious. A tea and a coffee were the drinks ordered. After about 10 minutes, the drinks appeared but we had to wait a further 10-15 minutes for the food. When it came, it consisted of two pieces of what l could only describe as deep fried bacon. It was that hard, you couldn't cut it. The egg had been fried on too high a heat that the bottom of the egg was burnt. The black pudding was ok on the inside once you hacked through the outer layer. The bread was thick, toasted and bone dry. What I found odd was the fact that your breakfast included a small bowl of mixed salad on the plate. Personally, that's not for me. Salad and fried breakfast food is a peculiar combination. Both breakfasts were exactly the same and at £7.50 each, I would class that as a bit of a rip off. But then again, you are probably paying over the odds to be able to say you ate at a deli in Clarkston! Sorry but low standards for a premium price are not for me. This is one customer who won't be hurrying back!

Popped in for brunch. I had the eggs benedict and my partner had a salad. Both very well received and well presented.Cafe was very busy but service was good and prompt.Very neat space though- hard to ignore the animated conversation of the people on the next table as they were only 2 inches away.

You are never disappointed at Eat Deli. The food is fresh and well prepared. Staff very friendly. Good for breakfast, coffee or lunch. Scones and caramel shortcake really good.

Great lunch of Eggs Benedict and Eggs Royal. High quality ingredients and fabulous coffee! What's not to like?

I've been coming to Eat Deli for years, it's a great cafe. I had Huevos Rancheros for breakfast this morning, and am currently wishing I could have it for dinner as well. It packs a punch of flavour and is very filling, too, good value for money. Their coffee is reeeeally good, too. Cakes are yum - the Portuguese custard tart is a favourite. No clue why a huge Costa has popped up next door... best coffee, scran and homebaking in Clarkston is found here in Eat Deli!

Best wee joint in town ! Great tasting soup crusty bread fab glass of wine and coffee is always just right ! Honestly hard to beat simple is best and value for money because it's good ! Thanks for your consistency ! An prompt service !

We have been going to eat since it opened fourteen years ago so this review is long overdue. Eat was serving up perfect coffee long before the current crop of artisan coffee shops in Glasgow- welcome as they are. The owners really care about the quality of their ingredients (expect organic flour in the scones, the fluffiest free range egg omelettes etc) and have created a lovely, cosy atmospheric place which has become more than just a cafe. It's a community hub. One thing they really get right- and I do hope the owners appreciate this- is the quality of the staff on the shop floor who take a real interest in their regulars, looking out for old and young alike. They work hard and are worth their weight in gold. Go there often enough and they will know exactly how you take your coffee- the antithesis of certain corporate chains. And you'll never feel uncomfortable about popping in on your own. It's a niggle with regulars that there is no form of loyalty scheme. It would be nice if there were. It's a small place so if you go and struggle to get a seat, please persevere. I promise it's worth the wait.

This is a well run cafe serving great coffee and scrumptious food. It has an extensive menu and daily specials. The staff are friendly and efficient with a warm welcome. It is not the biggest cafe in the world but that this gives it a great atmosphere. I would recommend this cafe.

Absolutely LOVE the brunch in Eat. I tell everyone about it. All the food and cakes are amazing. Can be difficult to get a table so best to book ahead. The one negative is there is one senior member of staff(foreign) who is has no customer service skills, she's really aggressive in her manner and towards the rest of the staff. No wonder so many people have said the staff don't smile - she's awful to them. It's cringy sitting watching her. We go back again and again, because we love the food, but each time I dread this woman being there.

Dad loves the boss the food the quality ... what's not to love Great food as usual and yummy cakes Will be back soon

Called in for a quick lunch and found there to be a good selection. Any sandwich or bread based foods could be accomodated for gluten free me - a bonus. Staff were helpful and we enjoyed our lunch.

Great eggs and coffees perfect start for a day ! Staff pleasant efficient but could smile a little more !Maybe forget salad with breakfast items not required !

Quite possibly the most lush carrot cake I've tasted. It was really hard to choose which cake to have as the choice was fantastic

Been going to Eat for years now. Always tasty, and freshly cooked meals. Great cafe atmosphere. Can get busy, and difficult to get a table, but I guess that is a good sign!Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Went for lunch on the Bank Holiday with my daughter. Although it wasn't busy it took us ages to get served. We ordered food and drink. Then waited .....and waited. Other customers came in and were served drinks and still we sat. After 15 minutes I stared at the senior member of staff perched with paperwork at the end of the counter and slowly shook my head. Only then were we 'granted' a cup of tea. Really hostile environment, won't be back!

Always fresh, never fail to impress us and the kids. Tasty, yummy and delicious. Customer service are always friendly.

Had a very disappointing experience in Eat Deli on this occasion, although the food and coffee was nice the staff really let the establishment down, they have clearly never heard the phrase 'service with a smile'!. My food was brought to me in total silence, which while not pleasant was not much of a problem in itself. However, the whole experience was very uncomfortable due to the complete lack of awareness staff had for customers, I witnessed an elderly lady waiting patiently to be served at the counter being continually ignored. This went on for quite some time, while staff did everything except ask her if she needed any help, not even acknowledging her presence - having worked in the service industry for many years I simply cannot understand this level of ignorance toward customers. The staff member serving even began taking an order for a customer who had just entered while the lady in question stood holding the packet of biscuits she wanted to pay for and was completely ignored. As a customer I go to local businesses because I want to experience friendly staff who care about their customers, on this occasion Eat really was a let down, maybe some staff training on what constitutes good customer service is in need!

Nice bright place and friendly service. There is limited seating but its usually possible to get a seat.The coffee was decent and the cake was very good. The food on offer looks good too. Well worth a visit.

Probably sums up my approach to what's on offer here.... It's all good. We've used Eat for Tea and Coffee, Cakes and Treat, Soup and Sandwiches and evening meals. The end of month Friday night themed evenings have been a very reasonably priced and good offering , we've thoroughly enjoyed these. I also sampled recently the full breakfast with Stornaway black pudding an all time favourite. Keep it up folks we've been coming for years and expect to continue to do so. Magic

My wife and I eat here fairly often, and this little story illustrates why. My only gripe with Eat Deli is the fact that I we don't enjoy the Suki tea on the menu, however the staff are good enough to make us ordinary breakfast tea from their own supply. On this occasion they had run out of their own tea, but as soon as we ordered tea, one of the girls put on her coat, ran out to the shops, and a few minutes later we were presented with two lovely cups of tea! As I said, service above and beyond keeps us coming back!
