I came here for brunch, and the menu was great - somewhere between traditional scottish cuisine, gourmet greasy spoon and gastropub. The food was top notch, tho mine was a little cold, which for mashed potato isn't that appetising, and the orange juice kind of manky... Still, the taste, presentation and serice time was all above par! The surroundings were quite attention grabbing - plenty of conversation starter nick nacks are on display around the walls, as they also sell antique and retro goods. Shopping AND eating at the same time?? It doesn't get much better than this...

I love it here. I first came across this little gem on a summer's day when wandering from the…read morenearby Victoria Park and seeking a cold drink and a snack. My friend and I had been craving bacon rolls all morning since we hadn't made it to Jordanhill's university cafe on time. Woe was us. Then we discovered Cafe Circa which was miraculously still serving bacon rolls in the afternoon. Yippee!! The rolls were those crispy ones which I adore. We finished it off with a big chunk of chocolate cake which was perfectly proportioned. They now have an offer called a "friendship slice" where if you and a friend both order the same cake it costs only a little extra for the additional slice rather than double. The best thing about this quirky little find is the service. The guy that served us couldn't have been more helpful and was one of the smiliest waiters I have ever seen. We felt like we'd been regulars for years getting the VIP treatment. We also got a little card which offered a discount for when we next visited. Have been back several times and even though I have now left this area I would make the trip just for one of those amazing bacon rolls and lovely smiles.

The food was excellent as always. Utterly delicious. Service is good though the queue can be a…read morelittle tiresome, but worth the wait. It's a great environment just to sit and enjoy a light brunch.

I'd have to say that this cafe is pretty much my favorite one while I lived in Glasgow. I…read morefrequented it almost once a week. Now that I'm back in America, I miss this place a lot! Glaswegians, your cafes have definitely spoiled me and I can't find anything that compares to this in the U.S. When you walk in, you automatically get this cozy and warm feeling. Try to get a seat in the upstairs dining area, because this is where you will feel the most warmth. I also like sitting in the bar stools by the window because I like looking outside at the rain. If you find yourself waiting for a table, just take that time to browse the pastries, savory foods laid out, and even their selection of cookbooks. Their selection of cake and tarts change daily, but if they have leftovers one day then they serve the leftovers the next day until they are gone, but a lot of the time their pastries sell out on the first day. Bonus to this is that your pastries are definitely fresh! But the pastries still taste good even if they are a day old. Trust me. My go-to pastries were the Belgian Chocolate Cake or the vanilla custard tarts. This cake has hazelnuts inside of it and is served with raspberries, chocolate bits, dusted with sugar on top. If you love chocolate, this cake is the way to go. The vanilla custard tarts reminded me of home (because I would get Egg Tarts at Chinese bakeries and this vanilla custard tart tasted just like a egg tart) The only difference is that the tart at Kember & Jones had flaky layers of crust, which made the tart even better. My go-to drinks are hot chocolate or the Moroccan Fresh Mint Tea. The hot chocolate is served with foam and little chocolate bits on top. The Mint tea is served in a clear glass, but it comes hot (which was weird because I didn't think you would serve hot drinks in a glass) but I understood why because it has a bunch of mint leaves in it that changes the color of the drink to a light tan. It's cute and if you have a sore throat, it will make you feel better. Other things that I have tried and loved were the Warm Waffle (because it was served with syrup and fresh fruit), the French Lemonade (It was pink lemonade with a little bit of sourness), and the macarons (They make different ones each week. Try all of them because they go fast! I have to say during Christmas time their Christmas pudding one tastes pretty good, too.) Last thing to note is that the staff is very nice. I never really feel pushed to leave. They are polite and attentive.

When the order arrived it was lentil - when I said we ordered tomato the waitress said they were out and it was now lentil and walked off, no apology. To add insult to injury it was tepid at best. We decided to give Kothel another try thinking it might have been an off day. On our second visit we ordered coffee and sandwiches. Coffee came immediately but the sandwich didn't arrive until 25 minutes later and one of them wasn't what we ordered. So another long wait ensued. Well I can say we gave them the benefit of the doubt but I won't be in a hurry to return.

Wonderful little café…read more Got there about 11:30am and it was choc full with an eclectic mix of customers. Hipsters, posh old couple, students, mothers with their babies and me There is seating outside which I wasn't brave enough to use with no sun shining, inside gave me the feeling of being in the store room of a great hall or castle, small but packed full of great big chairs or dark wood furniture. I could only get a seat at the window breakfast bar on the high stools, not the most comfortable but gave a great view for my people watching hobby. The menu isn't very substantial with choice, however their cake selection is. My lunch came and for the price and the location I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a tiny little plate, a ciabatta that easily filled me. Flat white coffee was pure velvety gold in a cup, best coffee I have had in some time. Served at the perfect drinking temperature and just sublime For me it lost a star on the general layout and some of the seating, as cool as it looks, it hinders the space for getting around, big chairs that people had to pull in to let me past and hard stools that don't encourage staying for another coffee Oh I almost forgot ..... Loved the collection of classic motorbikes and a little tractor outside!

I had the Lentil Pine Nut Pork Roll special (see picture) and it was amazingly delicious! It sounded a bit funky but it was lovely. It came with a nice little side of greens with a vinaigrette. The dough that makes the 'roll' was my favourite part, almost like a crisp pastry dough. I followed my lunch with a wonderful almond raspberry tart. Yum! This time I'm trying the mushroom toast! I will let you know how it is!

I love Grace and Favour, admittedly I have only had cake and coffee on a couple of visits so far but from this alone I absolutly recommend it. Firstly the cake options are beautiful, and I was very happy to find they, on occasion, have gluten free/dairy free. I was fortunate to try the dairy free chocolate cake - amazzing!!! Coffee is by Dear Green, a little mild for my liking bit still enjoyable. The menu sounds utterly delicious and seems to have a fair selection of healthy option so I will soon be back to try this. The decor is stunning, staff have always been very friendly and chatty. A new great find, I will most deffinetly be back......soon!!

There is usually one or two offerings for those on a gluten free diet. The cafe is gorgeous all light and airy with cute little tables and chairs. There is no soft drinks here but you can have bottled water or tea/coffee with soya milk. Today I had the raw vegan chocolate brownie which is also gluten free and it was delicious!! Very reasonably priced too at £3. It would be nice to see them offering some hot snacks too at some point in the future.

Thank you Epicures - I'll definitely be back to try out the full veggie breakfast soon!
