First you go down an alley, only to reveal a secret enclave of an antique store, corner shop, and the tearoom. The square itself is fun to explore and great for photos. Once we sat down in the charming tearoom, we were greeted by a friendly and accommodating server. We ordered the afternoon tea. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with yummy finger sandwiches and delectable scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a lovely afternoon tea spot for all ages!

I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!

Love their food but what I love even more, is how they help to feed the homeless and/or those in need. Whether you're a paying customer or someone in need, EVERYONE EATS THE SAME SOUP! Bravo!!! The Wild Olive Tree is located on Nelson Mandela's Place, inside the St. George's Tron Church of Scotland. The lovely cafe is on the main level. You walk in and get seated for table service; or you can order takeout. This is not a Soup Kitchen per se, but if you're a person of need, you can enter via a side door for free soup and hot beverages to go. They have been in operation since 2015, and in their first three years of operation, have given away 12,000 meals and 13,500 hot beverages! Again, BRAVO!!! All profits and donations from the Cafe go to their two charity partners: Glasgow City Mission and Bethany Christian Trust, to support their ongoing work with some of the city's most vulnerable people. The charities also help with work placement and employability training. How awesome is that?!?! The team at The Wild Olive Tree consists of paid staff, volunteers and work placements. This team of people are awesome! The food is homemade and delicious, customer service is so friendly, and they're so thankful for your visit. If I lived in Glasgow, I'd be a regular customer for sure! If you're ever in Glasgow (down the block from George Square), please stop by for a gigantic bowl of delicious homemade soup and scones...you'll be so glad you did!

Lovely wee, wee, wee all the way home deli....sorry, too much coffee (jitter, jitter, twitch,…read morejitter) Aye so, this is quite the littlest of little places that is more deli and sandwich takeaway than sitty down eat type joint. Now there area couple of high chairs at the window, but if like me you prefer to be closer to the deck when your eating then this wont appeal. With a lovely collection of organic, free rangey, fair trade, raised by monks in the Himalayas on rice cakes, wheat free wheat and green tea type stuff, this looks to be a nice wee place to pick yourself up a treat every now and again (it was pretty damn hard to leave this place without some of the organic raspberry jam they had....tough tough tough) Aye so, i reckon this is a nice joint o pick up a sandwich on the go or maybe some soup, however its never going to be my first choice to grab a sit down coffee from. Nice, cute and pleasant staff.

I had a wee bit of hope that this cafe would be a gem in my hood but alas, tis not. It's just ... ok? I wouldn't go out of my way to go here unless I really needed to, like if I was late for work and didn't have a packed lunch. I've sat in here for breakfast once. The lady behind the counter is alright, at times she seems a bit cold but then again, it's early in the morning so I don't expect everyone to be a ray of sunshine haha. The baked goods are ok, some quite sweet but still not bad! Croissants are baked fresh every day so at least thats good! The coffee however is really quite atrocious. If you want coffee, walk another 5-10 mins to Tapa and don't be lazy by ordering from here cause I really think it's a wast of perfectly good money lol. The pasta they have made is not bad. I packed something with tomato sauce and some sausages in it for takeaway and it was quite good although pretty sure it wasn't fresh and made the day before. Still ok if you need a last minute packed lunch! Verdict : it's ok but wouldn't go out of my way to go for a visit. They sell some dried food like pasta and French stuff so perhaps just to buy stuff like that? Don't order coffee lol

When I first walked in, I…read morealmost immediately left because this small cafe has just one table and is clearly more of a take away spot. However, when I saw the amazing list of sandwiches (and wanted basically everything on the menu), I decided to stay after all. I am so glad that I did! My sandwich (cartelized onions and brie) and green tea were delicious (the picture truly doesn't do them justice). The staff was very friendly, and as I sat there for about an hour, I was impressed with the enthusiasm they used to greet each and every customer who came in. The cafe offers a variety of food and pastries, and has a number of gluten free and vegan options. I will definitely be back!

That said, I sure was happy after I tried the food here at Cherry & Heather! My friend had the special - a Satay dish, and I had the Indonesian noodle pot. Both dishes were very good, and the portion sizes were quite generous. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely! I suggest that the restaurant implement some background music to enhance the vibe/atmosphere of the venue.

I wasn't sure where the cafe was in the park - if you're driving and wanting to park near to the closest entrance, park near the Lubnaig Road entrance and it's only about a 1 minute walk from there. The cafe is in the tennis pavilion and it's a beautiful restoration job, appealing from the outside and cosy inside. I didn't expect it to be quite so busy on a Thursday afternoon but nearly every table was taken - thankfully I managed to grab one of the last ones. There's seating for about 30 people inside (at a rough guess) as well as some seats outside if you want to brave the cold. There's table service so I had a quick look over the menu and knew that French Toast was what I needed for the day. Served with bacon or berry compote and for £7.50 I was pretty impressed with the portion - on lovely thick bread it was just the right size and a good amount of compote (I actually didn't need it all, which was a first). I love that breakfast is served all day and can see myself heading back here very soon. It's got a nice vibe to it and the staff were pretty friendly. The menu might be short but I actually prefer that over a really long menu where you can tell that nothing will be fresh. Notes: - kid friendly - dog friendly (outside undercover seating area) - wifi (password is at the till) - lots and lots of luscious cakes - table service

Based on this morning's visit it looks like they've got the measure of their local customers. Yummy mummies ( and grans ) were out in force with their babes and toddlers as were a fair selection of the park's dogs (accompanied by their doting walkers). Dogs are welcome at the outside tables and in the covered enclosed area along the front of the building. A waitress distributed some complimentary dog muffins which no doubt will ensure repeat visits - dog icecream is also available I believe. My dog loving but not dog owning companion was in heaven. The decor is bright and tasteful - love the unusual vintage chairs - and the staff are friendly and helpful. The fruit scone was freshly baked and one of the nicest I've had recently. Served with home made jam it was a little smaller than some but that's not necessarily a bad thing, some scones are so enormous they're a tad off putting. The food we saw going to other tables looked tasty, including a cloud of fluffy scrambled eggs. There's a small selection of foody goodies and well chosen craft items on sale.

It's somewhere I wouldn't normally go but Angela had been before and new some good places to visit including The Glad Café. We opted for a brunch and I had my favourite dish French Toast, bacon and maple syrup. Yum! I had a cheeky mocha and it just complicated my delicious mound of food goodness on my plate. The place was always constantly busy and it was like a tardis and much bigger than I thought. The entrance is just a door with a small shop beside it, once you walk down the corridor it just opens up and it was wonderful. It was bright and it's for all ages. I wouldn't mind seeing a gig here as they always promote local talent. It's a great project and I'm so glad, literally, it's became such a success.

Been wanting to check this place out since I first heard about it & finally, a couple of weeks ago,…read moreI got to go. Thankfully it lived up to my expectations of the place. I was only here in the bar for a drink after work but it is such a lovely and cool place to hang about it. Some might say living in the West End I am spoiled for choice for hip bars/venues but I really don't think there's anywhere WE quite like the Glad Cafe. It reminds me more of Stereo or Mono in that not only is the GC a great place to have a drink but also does really nice food (so I hear) and puts on gigs and other such events. It's what Shawlands/the South Side has been crying out for. If I lived local this would most definitely be my local. Beers on tap the evening I went were Brooklyn Lager, William's Lager and Caesar Augustus, West Munich Red and a Sam Smith's beer. This is a really good selection for a place the size it is. Prices were not too bad either ~ £3.50 for a pint of the William's Bros. lager. They also had some nice bottled beers too, including the Drygate beers. The wine list looked pretty substantial also and again, pretty good prices. I did have an issue with the West Munich Red beer in that it tasted bizarre/off but thankfully the nice girl serving let me choose another beer instead. I like the decor, furniture and layout of the cafe, it feels very boho and being in here on a Winters evening with all the wee tealights lit it was delightfully cosy & just what I needed after a long, tiring week. If you want to come here for food I noticed the kitchen stops serving at 7pm which surprised me as just assumed this was a place were folk could come for an evening meal but obviously it really is more a 'cafe' than just the name suggests. Great place, lovely vibe and providing that little bit something extra for the area ~ I'm a fan.

The menu is simple mainly sandwiches, panini's and a few specials, most items do look home made, especially the tiramisu. I remember this place in the past, and then the food was plain and boring, that's probably why l never came back. There is only seating for ten customers but there are now a few tables outside, I bought a tuna mayo toasted sandwich & a coffee, total cost was £4.50, I think I will be coming here more often now, definitely on my list of cheap eats around glasgow.

The interior is light and spacious, with nice comfy seats and tables along the windows where you can watch the world go by over a coffee, as well as more conventional seating and tables for more serious eating tasks. The menu is slightly better than the usual standard cafe fare, and reasonably priced too. I only had time for a quick lunch, and the soup and sandwich deal arrived quickly and was just the job.
