Grace & Favour in East Dunbartonshire

I had the most amazing lunch of poached eggs on toast today followed by the most delicious carrot cake. The cake was a complimentary gift from the very kind and talented owner. Best Carrot Cake ever.

As always, we found Grace and Favour warm and welcoming, with a really lovely ambiance, and Eggs Benedict on Portobello Mushrooms never fails to please.

The menu is fantastic, the food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend to everyone we know. Well done!!

A very pleasant ambiance and the Eggs Stornaway were excellent and the helping copious. Plates were heated (these details count with me!) Even more important was the fact that the person in charge took the trouble to greet my very elderly friend by name, while nothing that it was a while since she had been in. ‘Thank you’ to him and his team.

A brilliant coffee shop and perfect spot for brunch and lunch at the cross. Lovely service by Suzie and the team every time I visit with my partner , friends or even solo. The food and coffee are always perfect, in my opinion the only place to get an outstanding lunch in the cross area. Keep an eye on the special boards, and if there’s pastel di natas GET THEM! They’re the best in the Glasgow area!

A well designed cafe with good atmosphere, good coffee and the right amount of options available for lunch/breakfast.

Such a lovely little cafe to stumble across. Didn’t have any expectations when my partner suggested to come here but I am so so glad we did. Decor is beautiful, such a cosy, friendly vibe. Busy which only suggests it’s a great place to visit. Staff are so attentive and kind. Food is also delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the poached eggs and black pudding. Exceptional, still one of my favourite things I’ve ever eaten and I’m not normally a black pudding fan. Also tried the lime cake which I mistook for lemon cake ask incredible. All in all a must visit!

A real haven with a lovely interior and friendly and helpful staff. My friend and I had Eggs Benedict and it was perfectly done. Timing of the hot drinks we ordered to go with the food was good too.

After walking around Mugdock Country park my partner and I decided to go for a bite to eat and found this lovely cafe . Overall we were very surprised in a good way with the quality. The cafe has lovely decor and a great relaxed vibe. The staff are really nice and friendly. The food was very tasty indeed. We ordered the food like tapas so went for Chicken kaarage with Asian slaw,French toast with bacon and maple syrup, sweetcorn and sweet potato fritters with a lovely pico di gallo salsa and finally the pork and apple sausage roll . The chicken was melt in the mouth and popped with flavour . The slaw was nice but I found it it be too sour but can appreciate the flavour combination. The French toast was light and very sweet . The bacon was crispy and a welcome addition to the sweetness. The fritters were very tasty and had a great flavour although I would have liked a little crunch from somewhere. The sausage roll was very tasty and the chutney worked very well. This was definitely very good quality and the cooking was good too so if you are in Bearsden then check this place out and see for yourself.

Nice cafe in Bearsden serving excellent breakfast. Friendly and reasonably prompt service, local vibe, great ambiance.

Waited 30 minutes for our order to be taken, whilst others around us who had come in after were getting theirs taken. Then waited 45 minutes for a sour dough open sandwich. Very bad service, not very friendly. At least the food was quite nice.

Beautiful coffee shop to stop for a drop of lunch in lovely Bearsden. Wide range of coffees and lovely cakes and sandwiches all looking very yummy. Great place to people watch.

Our go-to breakfast/brunch place in Bearsden. Always served a great coffee and good section of cakes/pastries. Menu is varied and has a good selection for kids. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. The eggs Stornaway or French Toast are particular favourites, would highly recommend

We are visiting the area and came across the cafe while looking on here. We have just been and had a delicious breakfast. The staff were really friendly and the place itself was beautifully decorated too. I wish this was local to us as I’d definitely have returned!

My little go to at Bearsden Cross - great range of daily freshly baked cakes, breakfast and brunch menu with lots of choices and great coffee. Always a pick me up in the early morning! Something for everyone - keep up the good work and thanks for providing us during lockdown!

This is our ‘go to’ place for coffee/lunch. The baking is amazing and coffee always great. Have had a couple of lunches recently - love the smashed avocado. Looking forward to it reopening.

Opened again after lockdown and a welcome back. Lovely cakes and coffee, friendly staff and good service. Social distancing in place and seating outside too.

Wandered in this morning as I'd heard the cafe had reopened for takeaway. As friendly as ever, Susan has been working every day and night with her daughter to bake cakes and supply the tea and coffee. Great selection of cakes including vegan, gluten-free, indulgent full-fat, and better than ever. Very friendly and worth every penny.

All round lovely place. Beautiful decor. Great menu choice. Eggs Benedict was wonderful and the coffee was rich and hot! The staff were all really friendly and welcoming. Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

Grace and Favour stands head and shoulders above the many restaurants and tearooms in Glasgow because its food and service are superb. The staff are welcoming and eager to please. Worth a visit!

After a morning of shopping, we decided to treat ourselves to brunch.Had a very nice eggs royale - 2 poached eggs, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. Perfectly done eggs and plenty of sauce.I had this with a pot of proper tea (i.e. with tea leaves).We had very good service.Well worth another visit.

Very friendly staff, great coffee and fantastic service. The cappuccino was huge and the ambiance trendy.

It was a Cold and frosty morning when we arrived at Bearsden and after parking the car we walked a short distance to find a coffee house at the Cross at around 08.30hrs.We noted that Grace & Favour was open and we entered and were made welcome, and the server invited us to select a table. As well as a coffee which had a great flavour we ordered a sausage sandwich which arrived without delay, the bread was fresh and chunky and the sausage filling was properly cooked and I enjoyed the taste.What really impressed was that this establishment was fully ready to serve customers at the time of opening. Well done!

I don’t know what it is about this place, maybe we’re just unlucky, but it always takes ages for our food to arrive. As nice as it is, I think this last visit will be our last. We’ve given it several chances and that’s too many failures to give it another. Sad.

Our favourite cafe in the area. Lovely coffee with a great range of cakes. Also a large menu of brunch items. We’ve never made a bad choice! The waitresses are always so friendly and make time to chat.

Went in for a coffee with my husband. Decided to have a scone too. £7.80 for two lattes and a scone! The lattes arrived in small cups and the scone was so hard and so dry it just disintegrated on cutting it. It was also very heavy and must have been made a while ago then frozen. The service wasn’t particularly friendly. Will avoid it in future.

Local, friendly, the menu may be small but never disappoints. Staff are great too. Excellent for a quick coffee or an extended lunch. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed my 1st experience in Grace & Favour, the food was excellent.

Took over an hour to get some cold poached eggs on toast. The table was dirty and not wiped, service was unbelievably slow and by the time the cold, should be hot, food arrived we couldn’t be bothered to send it back as we didn’t have time. Won’t be back in a hurry, there’s definitely much better places around. Shame as it used to be really good.

Went here with good friends. We all had different things and, although the service was fairly slow, all dishes were excellent. We will certainly be back.

Took 25min to get our drinks and about 45min from ordering for the food. Quite long wait considering only four of us. Ordered waffle and berries which was nice but only got 1 waffle but cost over £8.

Popped in for a quick coffee and scone. Best made coffee I’ve had in a while and delicious light moist scones which look enormously tempting but which you’ll easily finish

Went here on Wednesday lunchtime and 3 of us were seated in the dark dingy unattractive alcove at the back. 20 minutes later, no-one had come near us (although 3 members of staff walked past us!) and so I had to go to the till to get one of the staff's attention to take our lunch order. She admitted to "forgetting about us" which grated on me! The place wasn't exaclt heaving, but the staff were huddled around the till having a good old chinwag and so perhaps that was why we had been forgotten about! We ordered 2 sausage sandwices, one green tea and one americano with almond milk. The waitress placed the order on the table with both milks in the same jug and so we didn't know which one was the almond milk......and neither did she when we asked her! She proceeded to take them both away to ask someone else which one was which! Seriously!!!!! We asked for the bill.....and once again this was not forthcoming!! Annoyed, I decided to go the the till and pay only to be met with a sign that said "sorry can't take card payments today" ... fortunately there was a cash machine next door and so I duly went there, then came back and paid the bill. The girl on the till seemed to be struggling...blaming the till, which "was playing up". Anyway, the bill was paid and we left....never to return!

Had been recommended this cafe by a friend in Newcastle so thought would try it on the way back home from a trip to the highlands.

Poor service, poor coffee and poor scones. Had to return watery coffee and teapot with broken lid only to be replaced with one that spilled all over the table. Not even an apology. Scones were tasteless and not worth the wait. Wont be back.

I joined friends for lunch. Decided to have the eggs Stornoway - eggs benedict with haggis. Lovely hollandaise sauce with poached eggs, quality haggis and muffins. The restaurant is commended because I got served a warm plate. Had my meal with a pot of green tea.

Stopped for coffee and cake. Was initially a bit disappointed as most of the cakes were vegan but was assured by waiter( non vegan ) that they were nice. This certainly proved to be true for the raspberry and rhubarb cup cake!

The soup, tomato and roasted pepper, was delicious! It was served with a half chicken salad sandwich - which was more than enough for me. A friendly, modern cafe with plenty of cakes on offer too.

Enjoyable lunch. Restaurant has had a lovely renovation which is cosy. The food was nice. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Black coffee wasn't up to much, very watery without any cream, but would be go back.

My husband and I regularly visit Grace and Favour and have to say we love it here! The owner is always lovely to us and the other staff make us genuinely feel like they are pleased to see us back! Best scrambled eggs in Glasgow by far! Definitely worth a visit!!

Sad to report that we had an awful brunch today. We waited 35 minutes and when it came the bacon and sausages we stone cold. Not just cold - stone cold. They were replaced and microwaved to death to the point that they were steaming. The plate had been left under the grill meant the poached egg had turned. At least replace the egg!!! Not worth £40! Perhaps the new Kothel place will make a change.

Relaxing visit with a friend. Service was good but not intrusive. We were just after lunchtime so it was not too busy and were able to linger over our poached eggs (delicious) and extra coffees. I found the staff to be friendly and welcoming.

I can't believe some of the comments I have read on here. I have visited Grace and Favour many times and have enjoyed brunch, coffee and cakes. The coffee is delicious and the food is always great. The waiting staff are very nice and as is the owner who always remembers my face and is always friendly and attentive ... and I certainly am not kitted out in Armani! (rolling eyes while I type) This is my favourite place to eat during the day in Bearsden and I recommend Grace and Favour

I have visited Grace and Favour many times both as a small and larger party. I always enjoy the food and the coffee is very tasty! The staff are always accommodating and pleasent. I enjoy the atmosphere and would reccomend it. The owner has been nothing but welcoming and friendly every time I see her, whilst making time to chat with the customers.

I have been to this cafe a few times and this visit was very disappointed owner was very snobbish and felt like she was looking down her nose at me, maybe as I was not dressed in Armani clothing and didn’t fit her idea of her type of customer.

Visit to your cafe today with my Sister and found that you allow dogs were people are having food. The dog was on an extended lead and allowed to wander in a very small space. Won’t be back. Staff not very helpful.

I met a friend I haven't seen for nearly a year in this cafe, we had a lot to catch up on and were there for 2 1/2 hours. During this time we bought 2 drinks each and a very crumbly unappetising scone each, which took 15 minutes to be served to us. For about the last 45 minutes all three of the female staff hung about our table, one even standing behind my friend for a few minutes with her hands behind her back, looking pointedly at our table. They then took away half our crockery, obviously a hint we had overstayed our welcome, I was still drinking my second drink. All three of them then approached our table and one of them asked us to leave as they said the needed our table for a large booking they had put at the 2 tables next to us. If they had waited about one more minute we were actually about to leave and I wouldn't have bothered to write about their rudeness loitering at our table and lack of speed when serving us. Maybe we weren't middle class or elderly enough for them but be assured we will spread the word about how rude they were.

This cafe looks very appealing from the main road.

We ate breakfast here with our three kids.

I had tried Grace and Favour before for a coffee and as I was in the vicinity I decided to give it another go.

As a local we are genuinely spoiled for choice with places to eat. Some great, some good, some needing to try a bit harder. Grace & Favour is in the great category. We simply love it for an unhurried lunch. Don't mention the cakes or I will actually put on weight just thinking about it as they are delicious. Try it now!

Throughout most of January (2018) I frequented Grace and Favor for all the right reasons: it is a wonderful, cozy place to either enjoy a coffee with a friend, read a paper or to have something delicious to eat. The staff are genuine, friendly people and the food, coffee and desserts are consistently VERY good. Earned compliments. PS: They have limited seating outside (under an awning) and they supply a limited amount of newspapers for their patrons to enjoy -- a nice touch.

Lovely place, staff are super, food is great but oh my goodness you can easily sit for half an hour after you’ve ordered your food before you get it. I asked friends who have been in and their experience is the same as mine...it takes AGES before your food arrives. Don’t go if you’re on your lunch hour as there just won’t be time to eat it. Such a shame as the food is lovely and the staff are great too. Disappointing experience.

We came here for Brunch as a surprise for my mum, she really likes it. I've never been before so it was my first time.

Excellent brunch and lunch options.fantastic friendly service.finished off with perfect coffee and cake.

Consistently good coffee (sit in or take out) and breakfast/brunch is good. Had scrambled eggs and sourdough- perfect Always busy so sometimes service is not super fast but they work hard in there However I like it there and go back regularly. Definitely recommend.

We planned for brunch but didn't make it there until lunch. They don't take bookings for small groups and it wasn't a problem getting a table. The breakfast menu was available all day and had great choice. Food was delicious and generous portions. Orange juice was really small for the price. Inside was lovely and we didn't feel rushed at all. Would return.

Great selection of home made cakes, of which the carrot cake is my al time favourite. It’s actually the best...

Poached eggs were done perfectly, coffee was very nice, catered for our 18 month old as well, staff very friendly.

Coffee delicious and then a wait of 30 mins for food. We were on the point of leaving when food arrived. Just the worst service ever. Will go to Amici round the corner next time. Won’t return to Grace n Favour.

Friendly service in cool modern style. Nice cakes and coffee, open sandwiches, light lunches. Family friendly. Asset to Bearsden.

Only dropped in a cappuccino coffee but the coffee was very good. There was a nice atmosphere and what others were eating looked appetising.

Had lovely Granola in grace & favour yesterday. Really good coffee and lovely food. Consistently good.

Grace and Favour is in a great location at Bearsden Cross, the interior is very nicely done out and the food is excellent. Service is not the quickest and meals took at least 20 minutes to arrive both times we visited. It is noticeable that the staff move in an unhurried way and don't always bother to say thank you when they see guests leaving - things which could easily be fixed.

Nice place to eat brunch in the distritc. The sandwiches and Belgium waffle were delicious. Prices were bigger than I thought, it matches to prices in the city centre, so the palce was not cheap. Atmosphere was very great and staff works very great!

Good menu from coffee and cake to soup and sandwiches.Pleasant staff relaxed atmosphere.Outside seating weather permitting pets welcome.

Stopped by while out cycling for a coffee and it was decent. Staff where friendly enough and the atmosphere is nice. Although I never bought food this time, the other times I've been here the food served has been good.

Had lunch with my wife and grandson here last week. We had been here several times and have been returning as everything is good about this restaurant. Good Scottish fresh cooking. Good service. Good environment. Will continue to return. Highly recommended

Came out of town for breakfast following the Scottish independent coffee guide. The coffee wasn't that great, looks we're there but seemed quite over extracted. The prices were similar if not more than some of the coffee shops in town. Still good service but not quite what I was looking for

Clean restaurant. Pretty modern take on sandwiches and breads. Only in for lunch and found it a tad slow.

Everthying is so well executed and tastes great from breakfast through mid morning to lunch! The evening openings also add a different dimension to Susan's teams skills and range.

I was lucky enough to attend a friend's birthday dinner here. The venue is beautifully decorated and there is a welcoming atmosphere. We had a set menu and from this I had the ham hock, sirloin of beef and a meringue dessert. Honestly, the best food ever...it got tastier with every course! The service was also outstanding and Susan and her staff deserve a mention for this . I will definitely be visiting again to try breakfast.

The food was amazing, compliments to the chef. But my my took unwell and the paramedics were called. Ryan, Georgia and Rachel were so helpful during this time. Mum was very unwell. Ryan moved my car for me as I'd parked it in the lane beside the cafe. It turned out that mum was fine but we were then given complimentary teas as we had "as we had been through enough", as Ryan said. Thanks so much for all thce help and support you gave us, it is so much appreciated.

Really enjoyed the breakfast here, service was great, good menu although i would say £32 for 2 people and a baby is a little expensive. But worth a try

Always come here either from Brunch or to have coffee and cake. Highly recommended!!I have had most items on the breakfast menu and they have all been delicious. the selection of cakes is top notch :)

Lovely food and drink; relaxed and comfortable surroundings; excellent service; some of the prices are a bit steep for what you get.

Great breakfast again had the eggs benadict again and a bowl of muesli very busy cafe good value ....

Another great breakfast and relaxing read of the paper. Thoroughly recommended for a gentle start to the day!

Went for a cuppa with a friend. For once the cake to topping ratio was spot on. Lovely cakes, good choice, good cup of tea.

We visited on a busy Saturday afternoon and had lovely soup and sandwiches.Nice menu. It took a long time for the waiter to take our order but he was very pleasant when we did get served and the food was delicious, really fresh and enjoyable. We would come back!

Had some brunch with a friend here recently. Coffee was lovely, scones were fresh and they had a good selection of brunch options. Will be back!

Absolutely love this place for breakfast! Always come here on my birthday as an annual treat. It's got a really good simple menu with all of my favourites on it. Good coffee, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!! There needs to be more places like this !! Love love it!!!

Grace and Favour On a Friday and Saturday have a small number of tables available for dinner The resteraunt offers a Table d'hôte menu with delicious dishes to choose from Keeping it simple but chic with a lovely ambiance retainedService was excellentAnd......The bonus was you brought your own wine A gorgeous night out with friendsGot to book up soonBefore they are granted a licence

Eight of us for diner on a Friday evening and the food was simply delicious. Gin smoked salmonPigs cheekSticky toffee puddingNot only delicious but very well priced.Service excellent.Lovely relaxed surroundingsBYOB with corkageA lovely evening at a reasonable price.Highly recommended

My wife and I have frequented Grace and Favour typically for breakfast and three times for dinner. Bottomline: the food is fantastic, the servers are very friendly and atmosphere will certainly not disappoint you. If you are on a tight budget, then check out the menu for something that you can afford - but if price is not the driving factor, then you've come to the right place.Although they only serve dinner from Thursday to Sunday, making a reservation can be a bit challenging if you don't phone in advance. The dinner is 'an experience' and reasonably priced. Bring your own bottle as they are in the process of securing their license.

We have only been for coffee and cake (so far) but it is excellent. Nice surroundings, friendly staff. We plan to try it in the evening very soon. Would recommend (especially the cakes).

Great cakes, nice staff and fantastic coffee. Always accommodating when I come in with my child and have to navigate my way with a pushchair! Lemon cake amazing!

Warm friendly welcome Perfect surroundings Coffee delicious Cakes irresistible Menu for that little bit more highly recommended Staff can't do enough I hear it's going to be open for dinner - can't wait

... for dinner! (on certain evenings). First things first, I am a massive fan of this particular coffee house. I love the coffee (and it never settles for poor quality beans), the cakes, but most of all the food.So I have to say I was delighted to hear that they had started opening for dinner. I wasn't disappointed.The staff were excellent - attentive but not overly so, and that's difficult to achieve in the intimate surroundings. I had pork belly with black pudding in a honey jus for a main, roast beets with whipped goat's cheese to start, and a creamy lemon tart with orange creme fraiche for dessert. All three were sublime. I finished the best meal I've had in a long time with their signature coffee. Wine is byob - which suits me as I don't have to put up with someone else's wine list! We will be back as it was a fantastic experience and a great way to spend an evening.

Firstly I am a fan of this eatery read my reviews as recent as 3 weeks ago?!Went here for lunch today my birthday and ordered the soup this was apparently Pea, Mint and Ham.......I beg to differ it was Mint Mint and Mint....being my birthday I pushed on and ate it but my partner couldn't eat it one spoon was what he managed. Think this was made worse by the fact it was lukewarm. It actually tasted like the dip you get which is Indian-strange. Served with two small pieces of bread?!(Too small) Not being one to hop onto trip adviser without bringing up my complaint, when the waitress collected our plates I identified it was not good and that my other half had not eaten that but she could see that the bowl was untouched....she said "Oh dear........" took the plates and walked off believe she is foreign......was going to have coffee and cake but with the lukewarm reaction and soup I thought better of it?! Partner went to pay 2 soups.....awful the way she did not deal with it?!Even when she returned some time after taking our plates to ask if we wanted coffee and we said no thanks she obviously could see we were not happy.....training required!! Even the offer of a coffee would have made all the difference NO sadly not ignored and unusual reaction??!!!Partner paid we left and went round the block to M&S and got a sandwich HAPPY BIRTHDAY?!!!!!Will not be back.....

Back again been looking forward to the eggs benadict as the last time was brilliant and did not disappoint well run cafe great

I live in Bearsden, and I love G&F. It is not perfect- but the staff are lovely, kind and understanding towards our kids. I have Never been disappointed by the food,We love the Eggs Stornaway and the Mushrooms on toast. Cakes are always fresh and interesting, with a great gluten free option. Susan showed me alot of kindness when visited with my newborn 2 years ago -I was struggling with my second baby, it was hot, I was tired and Susan was the kind face with ice water I needed!

Have not been in here for a few months but it's just as good as the last time I was in!!Attentive friendly staff and nice tasted coffee and a selection of Sunday papers....all you need!!Different staff from when I was last in but friendly and pleasant, nip in for a coffee and cake....

Tried soda bread for the first time with scrambled egg, delicious Always welcoming atmosphere and staff Reasonable price and always busy

Right in the middle of Bearsden cross, very accessible and got a large seating area. Got lots of nice breakfast and bunch things on the menu to choose from at reasonable prices. Would recommend this place if you want a cute and friendly place to catch up with friends.

I regularly visit Grace and Favour. It's one of my favourite places in Bearsden. The food is tasty with great daily specials and the staff are so accommodating. It's very family friendly and the do great coffee and cake.

Enjoyed an extensive range of lunchtime food and beverages. Can also sit outside. Friendly and helpful staff. Food good, nice atmosphere and well worth a visit, but a little bit prices.

Such a lovely place to have brekkie. Food was lovely and staff were so friendly.Granola, berries and properly made French toast! Fabulous! Coffee superb! Lack of soft furnishings made it a bit noisy

Met friends here for coffee and a catch up. We arrived at 11am and despite it being busy, we were approached straight away by a smiling member of staff who told all the tables were taken but if we didn't mind waiting a few minutes, there would be a table free soon.There's a good choice as far as the menu goes with breakfast and light lunch options as well as a selection of cakes. We ordered 2 x coffee and scones plus 1 x French toast with maple syrup and bacon. While we waited we were supplied with glasses and a carafe of water. Service was quick and efficient and food was lovely with a bill of around £20.There's a warm, cosy feel here and there's an option to sit outside if the weather is favourable.

lovely friendly atmosphere, delicious coffee and interesting menu with fresh ingredients, great place to stop by for lunch and a catch up!
