Singl-end Cafe & Bakehouse Garnethill in Glasgow City

A friend and I popped in, initially for a coffee and a café but, on seeing the menu we stayed for a main meal. Although in a basement the place is airy with open plan kitchen and I liked the slightly industrial decor - especially the tables with old cards and stamps under Perspex. I had meaty baked eggs - sizzling hot and hearty, while staff kindly varied the avocado on toast to swap in salmon for my friend who cannot eat eggs. These were also "delicious". In fact the young staff were really pleasant - my friend has limited mobility and unfortunately has to be specific on her diet, but we were made very welcome and, although we left at closing, the accessible side door was happily opened for her. On our way out we bought cakes for our onwards journeys home - these were large, fresh and sticky.

Great Vegan breakfast and dog friendly 🐕

Second time here. Quite liked it to be back again. Decent prices...great atmosphere lovely ambience and food is good. Could be quite busy at lunch times but this does not affect service

Their pastries are indulgent! Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Service was fine. It seems like a fun place. Lots of locals

Un lugar agradable con personal muy amable pero enormemente caro para no gran calidad. Un pedido de un par de batidos y cafés por £ 20 se siente excesivo teniendo en cuenta que lo que nos sirvieron no era muy especial (los batidos estaban llenos de cubitos de hielo)

The breakfast was very nice and delicious. The service and presentation was nice. The staff was friendly and attentive. The bread and breakfast were fresh and hot. It was a very nice breakfast. We definitely recommend it to everyone.

Second time I've visited and been disappointed with my meal - poached eggs on toast which for £8 equated to 2 very small, tough pieces of sourdough toast and the eggs. The cakes do make up for it though as they are amazing. Don't think we received a single smile from staff during our whole visit which was a shame. Overall there was a nice atmosphere with the other customers and the various doggy visitors.

Fabulous food, loved the venue and buzz. Excellent service and was really busy at the time.

The only complaint with the Merchant City branch was loud music over the already bustling cafe

Very popular, I recommend booking a table. Food was excellent, I had a croque madame which was great and perfect for lunchtime.

Truly disappointing - having been an avid lover of Singl-End when living in the West End I decided on a day trip that this was the place to return to after all those fabulous years. How evidently wrong I was. I cannot believe how disastrously downhill the business has gone. From a number one brunch spot to never returning again. Now to the experience itself - upon arrival we were taken to a table, sat, ordered drinks/food - the usual protocol, our food arrived and I’d gone for the meaty eggs and my partner for the meaty breakfast, my dish wasn’t exactly cooked and the egg itself was still raw. After alerting the waitress it was hurriedly taken away and I was told it would be ‘remade’ however when the dish returned this had not been remade and merely thrown back in the oven for a few more minutes to ‘cook the egg’ I believe. My partners meaty breakfast was something you’d expect from a road side little chef not Singl-End. I have no idea what’s going on here or what has happened nor the suppliers now being used but this is an entirely different premises than what I’ve previously visited. For any management/owner reading this please bring back the Singl-End that once was. Sincerely, a hugely disappointed ex-Westender.

Excellent brunch place. Really nice food and a good selection of vegetarian options as well. Service is always solid too! Highly recommend booking in advance if dining on a Saturday or Sunday morning though.

Lovely place to grab some breakfast though a bit expensive to go to regularly

This place is really great for a spot of breakfast. Freshly cooked food when ordered. We had the granola and sourdough toast with smashed avocado and bacon. Delicious! There are an amazing range of cakes baked daily. Table reservations are highly recommended.

Cute place! Plenty of breakfast/brunch options. Good food and good atmosphere!

Cute place, great brunch and lots of baked goods available

Went here yesterday for my sister’s bday. Ordered scrambled egg on toast. It arrived like slop on the plate. Had been done in a microwave and hadn’t been scrambled. Toast was on the side and not buttered with no butter alongside. Completely tasteless. The only thing that saves it is the lovely waitress who was really nice and the gluten free caramel cake which was delicious. Won’t be back though as overpriced and too rustic for my taste.

Lovely breakfast choices id highly recommend. Nice coffee as well, all worth the visit. Will go again.

Had a table here yesterday, ok it was busy but took a while for drinks to arrive, food made up for the delay ( delicious), my son would have liked tomato sauce with his breakfast, will be back..

My friend went for a job trial here and enjoyed was then blanked and ignored and never heard back despite messaging many times . So I’m sorry I can’t recommend this place if this is his they treat people with contempt typical hipster attitude me thinks

Really tasty, reasonably priced. Staff were lovely.

Great spot for brunch, quick service and tasty food!

Nice vibe here, relaxed but busy. Decor is quirky but understated. Background music was decent and not too loud. Lots of tables and not squashed in like sardines. Good menu for brunch. Stunning cakes on display. Tea was good. Coffee was nice. Sunshine on Glasgow was tasty, liked the coconut slithers and banana chips on top. Meaty breakfast was nice, their own takeaway on baked beans which were tasty, tattie scone looked home made and were delicious. One breakfast had 2 good sized slices of bacon while the other breakfast the bacon was well cooked and tiny in comparison. Fruit scone was a decent size. Would go back to try some of the lunch dishes or just the cakes.

We decided to change our hotel breakfast routine (in Glasgow) and looked for a great breakfast restaurant and café. We found this café and it was highly rated. We went to the café and it is located in the basement, but it is exposed. The cafe is large and has many tables with outdoor seating. Their breakfast is unconventional. The food is excellent and the service is excellent. Prices are acceptable. The problem is the difficulty of parking. Worth a try.

Late nights arrogant customers and musicians. They are more interested in their bottom line than anything else. Deciding you're a jazz bar with no consideration to the people about you is a disgrace. I'd invite Michelle to contact me. We'll be making representations at the licensing hearing.

Después de haber cenado en este restaurante muchas veces y siempre disfrutando de la comida —especialmente de la hornada casera— decidimos almorzar aquí por mi cumpleaños el miércoles 22 de enero, alrededor de la 1 : 00 PM. Desafortunadamente, resultó ser una experiencia decepcionante. Al llegar, nos sentaron y nos dieron menús, pero nadie preguntó si queríamos bebidas. Después de esperar unos cinco minutos, tuvimos que marcar a un camarero para hacer nuestro pedido de bebidas. Como era una ocasión especial, optamos por el Baileys Hot Chocolate del menú especial con un precio de £ 6. 50 . Para la comida, pedí el desayuno de carne, y mi hijo eligió la tostada francesa con tocino, jarabe de arce, en masa madre. El restaurante no estaba muy ocupado —alrededor de la mitad lleno— pero el Baileys Hot Chocolate llegó con mala presentación y apenas estaba tibio. En cuanto a la comida, el desayuno de carne fue abrumador: la salchicha cuadrada estaba fría, el pudín negro era tibio y el plato en general carecía de la calidad que esperaba. Más tarde, decidimos pedir más bebidas, pero una vez más, tuvimos que llamar la atención del camarero ya que nadie se registró para preguntar si todo estaba bien. Esta vez, pedimos un capuchino y un blanco plano, que estaban afortunadamente calientes. Sin embargo, dada la decepcionante calidad de la comida y el servicio deslucido, decidimos saltarnos el postre y nos fuimos a otro lugar. Esto fue especialmente desalentador porque siempre me ha encantado la hornada casera, que se muestra muy bien cerca de la entrada. Está claro que el joven miembro del personal que nos atiende, Arran, cuyo nombre estaba en la factura, necesitaba más capacitación. Si bien no lo culpo por completo, la falta de supervisión de la administración fue evidente. Además, era inaceptable que la cocina permitiera que la comida tibia saliera del pase, y el Baileys Hot Chocolate, con un precio de £ 6. 50 , dista mucho de valer la pena. Lamentablemente, esta experiencia nos ha dejado renuentes a regresar. Lo que debería haber sido una comida de celebración se vio empañado por el mal servicio y la mala calidad de la comida.

Although this cafe is in a basement They've managed to create a wheelchair accessible (slightly convoluted) route to enter and it is well worth the effort! Food was excellent

He oído que los platos salados son agradables y también lo es el servicio, en mi propia experiencia. Pero sus pasteles son azucarados y el café (el mío era descafeinado) tampoco estaba genial. La música era un poco demasiado alta para tener una conversación cómoda. Lamentamos haber hecho todo lo posible por estar allí.

Fantastic place with a wonderful interior! Worth to visit for breakfast! Prices are ok, food good, service too;)

Found this place by accident after a stay at a local hotel. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Made even better by the member of staff who served us. We never caught her name, but she has lots of tattoos and it was her birthday today. Happy birthday! You are such a credit to the business and made our visit perfect, whilst visiting Glasgow. What a lovely start to the day!

Hands down the best breakfast spot in Glasgow! what makes it even better is that it's all day breakfast... the place has a cosy retro atmosphere, breakfast was delicious, and the bakery stand is something you don't want to miss! dogs are welcome, Will definitely come back.

Libro, está ocupado. Un excelente menú con ingredientes de calidad y preparación. Tuvimos brunch y sin duda volveremos! Un gran pozo - parada para ir de compras en la zona también.

Very nice place, Excellent food, pleasant waitress, I recommend this place a thousand percent

Top and friendly. The team is very charming..

Visitó temprano la hora del almuerzo, el café ya estaba razonablemente lleno. El plato que tenía "The Everything" era muy, muy sabroso y sabroso y me quitó cualquier preocupación inicial que tenía sobre el precio. Realmente uno de los mejores platos que he probado en mucho tiempo. Estaría feliz de planear una visita de regreso. La gran mesa de pasteles, etc también se veía muy bien.

Loved it food amazing and great service definitely be back

Solid option for food and coffees. I seem to go here every time my parents are in town. Food and coffee is always good, place is always buzzing, no complaints really!

Well worth seeking out ~ I’m here for brunch, the Spring Onion, Goats Cheese and Cherry Tomato Omelette is from the Daily Specials and is truly delicious. The Sourdough baked on site was a great accompaniment. The cake list is extensive but they’ll have to wait for a further visit.

Vinimos aquí todos los días de nuestra estancia de 3 noches en Glasgow para el brunch. Cada día fue excelente. Probé el Meaty (desayuno completo), huevos revueltos y salmón y un croque monsieur. Todos eran sustanciales, de calidad y muy bien presentados. Opciones sin gluten para todos los artículos y muchos pasteles GF (aunque no los probamos se veían bien). Los precios eran de £ 8 - £ 14 por almuerzo. El tamaño de la porción me mantuvo lleno hasta la noche, así que creo que los precios eran justos. Está a unos 10 minutos a pie de la colina desde el Hilton donde nos alojamos. Ambos acordamos que la comida y el ambiente era mucho mejor, mejor calidad y menos costo que el desayuno estándar del Hilton (y sin el límite de tiempo). Recomendaría reservar ya que parecía estar ocupado a veces, sin embargo, solo lo hicimos por la mañana (a través de su sitio web) y no tuvimos ningún problema. Sin duda volveré si vuelvo a esta parte de Glasgow.

First visit with family.. amazing place. Good food and vibe .

Fantastic gluten free selection of delicious breakfasts, meals, bread and cakes. Such a treat to find somewhere that prioritises gluten sensitivity. Great atmosphere, quirky decor and friendly efficient service

Singl-End Garnethill is a must-visit for brunch lovers in Glasgow. The food is fantastic, with diverse options including vegan and gluten-free dishes. The cozy atmosphere, complete with unique decor, adds to the charm. The staff are friendly and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Don’t miss their freshly baked cakes—an absolute highlight. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast or a quick coffee, this is the spot. Special shout out to Mo. Thank you for welcoming us in from Canada today 🇨🇦 you're added kindness was a truly warming experience.

First time visiting and came highly recommended. Sadly fell a little flat. Whilst the flavour of the food was fab, the quality was not. I ordered the Meaty eggs which is Shakshuka, the eggs were like rubber, the tomatoes were so burnt around the side and the toast had been sitting for a while. The other full breakfast had the best scrambled eggs ever, but the rest of the plate had been sitting for a period of time, the bacon, potato scone etc, were lacking warmth and dried out. Service was average, but the staff were very polite and friendly when we did interact with them. It was incredibly busy however, so perhaps we were just unlucky.

We went for brunch last Sunday. Some of the group arrived early and we're seated. Sadly, we didn't realise that by them seating early the clock started on our 90minutes. Had she been informed she wouldn't have sat down. We were, somewhat abruptly told we had 15min left as we were about to order another round of coffees and cake. Food was nice but situation not handled wel.

Breakfast was very tasty, fresh and served promptly. The aesthetic of the place is cool and relaxed. Coffee was also really good.

Gone downhill, not worth the money. Toast was burnt, hot chocolate was cold, poached eggs were over cooked and hard inside. Disappointed as it used to be lovely. Used to offer a voucher for parking on street at discount now cost us £10 for 1.5hours! I'll not be back as there's plenty of better brunch places!

Food was good.The best thing here was the good behavior of the waiter specially Gerard 😎 .service was so fast 😌atmosfer was good

Had a reservation for 12:30 we were sat and no one ever came back to our table. We watched them take orders from tables that came after we did. Dissapointing as we sat there for 20+ minutes and they didn't notice that we hadn't been served even as we left.

Great to visit again after a few years. Enjoyed a lovely brunch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

First time here, and it didn't disappoint! We were 10 mins early and shown straight to our table. The cafe was buzzing. Plenty staff. We ordered meaty eggs and the special posh royale, which was a smoked salmon version of eggs benedict. Both dishes were very good. Tea and a latte were our drinks of choice. There is an excellent choice of cakes, and there are vegan choices. Staff were nice and efficient. I'd say it's pricey for what you get but worth it for the experience and for the nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend you book especially at the weekend or you'll be disappointed!! Dogs are allowed. I'd try the city centre cafe next time just to see if there is any difference. It's definitely a must try!!!

Menu very egg orientated. Soup was nice

I used to frequent singl-end all the time last year so decided to go for my birthday and I was so disappointed. The portions are half the size they used to be, the food was very mediocre and underwhelming, and the mimosas were tiny. Don’t think I’ll ever be coming back which is such a disappointment as I used to love singl-end and recommend it to all my friends.

The food is really good! The balance of flavors is impressive!

What an amazing place for breakfast, proper fresh Orange Juice, amazing Granola, and a fantastic bakery on site. Definitely worth the extra effort to walk there. Not much to look at from the outside but the food makes up for it in spades.

Very nice place, good atmosphere. The food is very good and the desserts are excellent. I recommend

The cafe is a chain with multiple locations. It was close by to the hotel we stayed at so we went to get breakfast one morning while we were in town. The small table for two people is uncomfortable and there is not much room for food and drinks. There were 2 floor staff that morning and you have to wave to get their attention if you want to order more drinks or get some condiments for food so not very attentive. The place has a good rating but also a sponsored on google map so it turned out to be a mis for me.

Food was basic and not worth the price. Fresh juice priced at £3.00 and was charged £5.65 for “freshly squeezed orange juice” which was basically transparent and had no pulp? Ordered the “Scooby Snack” - salad was brown and wilted, beans and black pudding had no flavour whatsoever. For dessert I ordered the “Pumpkin Spice Cake” which was dry and bland. Didn’t enjoy the experience overall, overpriced, would not recommend.

Great value for money, food and coffee are lovely

Really nice place for brekky or lunch. Food is very good and presented well. I had the 'scooby snack' which is a brioche roll filled with tattie scone, Stornoway black pudding, bacon, poached egg and chilli jam..with a pot of homemade beans and mixed leaves. Was delicious and hit the spot. It was my first time there and I will be back. It was fairly busy and is always busy I've been told, which is a good sign. If yer in the area and hungry, you should definitely visit.

Be warned it is eye wateringly expensive, not so much a quick place to have brunch rather than somewhere you’d take someone for an expensive dinner, boyfriend had something and he offered to pay for mine but I told him absolutely not, not at these prices, I’ve come away feeling like a moody old man complaining about prices of things 😂

¡INCREÍBLE! Fabuloso lugar. Grandes opciones sin gluten y vegetales. Muy buen desayuno. ¡El menú sonaba tan bien! Las bebidas también eran geniales. ¡Ojalá hubiéramos tenido espacio para el pastel ya que todos se veían deliciosos!

A fantastic place! 4 of us enjoyed different breakfast options and all was delicious! Coffee was good too. The kids enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice. Cool place and friendly staff.

Googled 'best breakfast in Glasgow', was not disappointed.

Came on a Saturday brunch and inside was booked out pretty much all day, so we were given one of the outdoor undercover tables and had to wrap up! Some interesting choices on the menu, as well as some more normal looking choices. We enjoyed the breakfasts, coffees and juices. Would recommend.

Had the meaty breakfast. Food was ok but a bit bland (definite lack of salt during cooking) and lacking. Other meals did look more interesting so it could just be a poor choice. I'd also ordered a lemon and ginger tea that was literally quarter of a lemon and a hunk of ginger root in water which was also bland and didn't diffuse that well, definitely don't order this as you'd be paying the Price of tea for what is essentially just warm water. Atmosphere wise it was busy and ok though definitely trying to be "trendy" rather than warm and welcoming. Service though was terrible. We were a party of 4 and a child on one of the 4 person tables. The waitress seemed offended that we needed more time to look at the menu despite us only just arriving. We weren't offered a dessert and had trouble flagging the waitress down despite trying to order one. Instead the first we saw of her was when she came up to the table about 10 mins after clearing our plates to tell us we had to leave within 15 mins to which we answered we've been trying to order dessert. We were quickly brought it followed by the bill without us asking. When it came to the bill the waitress said she couldn't itemise it only do a 50/50 split l, which she did by using the calculator on her phone so it makes no sense that she couldn't itemise the bill. All in all a disappointing experience and not worth it.

Nice food from a great menu. Can be very busy so best to book in advance. Prices slightly on the high side but no shortage of customers. A bit anxious to get you moving at the end of your meal. Recommend you try. Parking is on street

Stunning.....What a treat of a lunch. We were heading to the Kings Theatre and were wondering where to have lunch beforehand. Please count us in at Singl-end Cafe next time we are at the theatre. It's a bit hidden away but truly fab. The staff are on it on it, they were constantly checking everything was okay (but never in an intrusive way - just very professional), when not serving, they were wiping tables, sorting out the bar area. The atmosphere reminded me of great 1980s Glasgow eateries like the CuldeSac in Ashton Lane and Rocks in Queen Street - folks just really knowing what they are doing. The food.....oh wow...so fresh and tasty. My husband had French toast and bacon with maple syrup. He seldom finishes his food - there was nothing left!!! My daughter had the veggie breakfast, she wasn't so sure of the homemade baked beans, and doesn't like mushrooms, but we will know for next time. Unfortunately my daughter is disabled so it can be tricky for her. I had the 'Everything' which was delicious. Our daughter had a delicious empire biscuit for afters. There are daily specials. It really is fantastic, what a great find (what took us so long!) Thank you

Wide choice of products for breakfast, pleasant and fast service, I recommend!

Excellent brunch. Worth the walk to get there

Great place,selection of homemade cakes are insane,pleasant staff and coffee made with love and care

So good. Great vibes and charming service. Granola, porridge, coffee superb.

Wonderful and super delicious food. Love it 👍

Good food/breakfast dishes & good baking. My "Stornoway" black pudding & 2 poached eggs on sourdough VG. Table setting can seem a shade rough, knife almost unable to cut the toast crust, butter pats droped onto table top, menu a shade scruffy. But HeyHo, a great breakfast spot busy as always.

Excellent brunch, portions are very good, the menu has a lot of nice options and the food is delicious.

We had breakfast there. Sweet and savory gluten-free options. Quiet atmosphere and good service. High price (salty breakfast 13-15 pounds) but correct for quality and quantity.

Lovely food ridiculously nice cakes

Absolutely stunning and laid back brunch. I had The Everything. Perfectly poached eggs atop house baked toasted sourdough with smashed avocado and gorgeous roast tomatoes. There was a lovely, acidic sauce that made this big breakfast taste light. My pal loved her Stornoway Eggs and I had a wonderful dark chocolate and pistachio cookie to take away.

The food is delicious, fresh and mostly homemade. The vibe is cozy and warm, great service and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend !

Came here last week as I wanted a full breakfast as I had an amazing one in another restaurant. Googled and was recommended this place. Overall disappointed. Full breakfast was to say average. And the price was more as the other. If you are going to charge more compared to another restaurant you need to be on the ball.

Lovely restaurant with delicious options for breakfast.

Great tasting breakfast in a welcoming atmosphere

Omlet was on the dry side and a bit underwhelming for me! Enjoyed the smoothies and hot beverages. Soup wasn't the best tomato and basil we've had. So food overall lacking the wow factor.

Great place if you are coeliac! Many gluten free options and very good food!

i had a great pouched egg, the sourdough is just right, good service

Very nice place with original decor and cozy atmosphere. Delicious brunch dishes. We had a blast. The passage through the toilets is worth the detour for its original decoration ;)

Delicious breakfast with a vibe-y, quirky atmosphere.

It's always grand...but cook the spinach on the veggie breakfast. Lovely staff...I didn't eat a cake but they looked so good

Most recent visits were terrible. Awfully slow service and poor customer service. The cakes are ok and portion sizes are not great.

Found this great little gem, wonderful food, perfect scrambled eggs, baked goods to die for! We liked it so much we went back, and had them box up some goodies for our train ride!

Great little find. We were looking for somewhere for brunch, near our hotel, and came across good reviews for this cafe. It didn’t disappoint going back for afternoon tea. Quirky venue, friendly and efficient staff and good food, what more could you wish for. Can’t wait to taste the cakes!

Super good veggie breakfast, very beautiful place and the staff are adorable!

delicious food friendly service

The best breakfast in Glasgow 💙 10/10

A wonderful find. Only disappointment was we had to rush to travel to our next destination. The staff were friendly and attentive. The vibe is impeccable with adorable polaroids of dogs that have visited. The food was to the highest standard as well with plenty of choices if any coeliacs out there (there are even two choices of gluten free bread!) The selection of cakes is impressive and the two we ordered were out of this world. Difficult to praise this place enough

If you are in Glasgow you MUST visit Singl-end Garnethill. The food is incredible and the service is second to none. The biggest shout out goes to the two bread options for coeliacs which was a first. My “Betty” was INCREDIBLE and the peanut and banana brownie was amazing. Also amazing - there are four displays of dog Polaroids - what more could you ask for?

Came to Glasgow for the Scottish open, this is one of the best breakfasts I have had, staff were excellent, coffee was lovely, vibe was chilled would highly recommend

Un emplacement un peu spécial, avec une cour à l'anglaise ou on peut manger dehors. Le bar/cuisine est ouvert sur la salle qui est simple et bien décorée. Le personnel est jeune et sympathique. La nourriture est très bonne, variée, avec des recettes d'inspiration locale, de la pâtisserie faite maison d'excellente qualité. Un très bon moment que je renouvelle à chacune de mes visite à Glasgow ! Les tarifs sont corrects sans êtres bon marché. Les WC sont toujours propres.

Great breakfast! Awesome coffee and excellent local Scottish menu. Not the cheapest, but worth the spend. Amazing cakes too!

Amazing food in a funky, cozy spot. Husband and I are both gluten free, and there were tons of options (including millionaires shortbread for dessert!). It was so good we came back 2 days in a row
