    After dinner at Roastit Bubbly Jocks my friend, who had just moved back to the Partick area, had…read moretold us to skip dessert and to head to a new Ice Cream Place that he had heard about. I'm not massive on desserts, I would always rather a cheese board, but being a game fella (and with the promise of somewhere new) I agreed to go along. When we arrived the first thought that came into my head was 'Is this Big Licks?' such was the similarity in décor (black shop frontage, brightly coloured sign and modernish style interior), menu options and in general layout. The main difference though between Cravings and Big Licks is one does it pretty right and one seems a bit like an Aldi knock off. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with it, my 3 scoops of Strawberry Cheesecake, Peanut and Honeycomb ice creams all tasted as you would imagine they would but they all just seemed a little flat. The lads seemed keen to sit in to finish their ice cream but I was more inclined to eat on the move as in all honesty it all fit a little soulless. The ice cream was cheap and pleasant enough but I would be lying if my abiding memory was one that suggested that this is where all your dessert dreams go to die...just a little. Either this place is linked to Big Licks and they are not trying that hard with it or it's not and they're struggling to come up with their own identity. It was fine but I won't be rushing back.

    I saw that Matilda's had finally opened after what seemed a long time. I had heard that it was…read moregoing to be a patisserie from STV News and was rather excited because I visit Paris a lot and LOVE cake. I walked in and people were sitting down have cake and coffee, there is a good seating area downstairs but also on a mezzanine level as well. They have salads, sandwiches, coffee, tea and soft drinks to serve alongside numerous cheesecakes, frangipane tarts, tart tatins, eclairs, Creme brûlées, macarons and more. All very reasonably priced. The tarts and cakes come in around £2.50 and the macarons are 50p each (with a discount if you buy more). I couldn't resist buying a pistachio macaron & it was VERY good. Thumbs up from the macaron connoisseur here. I also bought a pear tart tatin, an apple tart, a passion fruit mousse cake and a chocolate and pistachio eclair. All cakes were lovely. Definitely coming back, this time will sit in for lunch and grab more cakes to takeaway :) Will probably turn into my new favourite coffee and cake destination. I wish there were more cakes though. Like LOTS of cake. In my mouth preferably.

    I've come to Matilda's several times over the past year, it's a place that l want to like but…read moreusually avoid and if I'm in the area I look for somewhere else to have a coffee to take out. Food There is quite a selection to choose from, panini's, cakes to even breakfasts, there is a fantastic display tempting you to buy one of their freshly baked cakes. I've not had the chance to dine in always in a hurry and take out is sometimes best option. Atmosphere This place has a nice atmosphere and vibe to it, but reminds me of much of the past days where you had to Queue and that just reminded me so much of school dinners and that wasn't a happy memory. Service Is not always service with a smile it may just be me but on the last two visits I've ended up with a grumpy goat for a server, who will serve someone else that is in the line before me even though I'm standing right at the till. I like the food served here and want to come more often, but the grumpy staff make me avoid this place.

    Rum and raisin, raspberry ripple, classic vanilla, double chocolate, freakin' pistachio, irn bru?!…read more An ice cream place is only as good as the flavours it offers, right? I mean, later, when you've already bought a cone you can worry about consistency and about how well it even pulls those flavours off, but surely if they don't have the flavour you want you'll just go elsewhere. Crolla has a great range of flavours. As well as all the old classic flavours it has a few more exciting options as well as a small number of sorbets - perfect if you want something just a little more refreshing. Fortunately, they do manage to get the flavours right (at least all the ones I've tasted) and the consistency of the ice cream is always creamy perfection. They do so-called "real food" too. I recommend their student lunch deal which is a soup and half sandwich for a very reasonable price. The pizza cones look great too but I don't think I'd have any idea how to actually eat one. I'll try eventually and get back to you on that. Their coffee is pretty good too but really, you're here for the ice cream and the ice cream is good. Treat yourself to an extra scoop.

    I've heard pretty good things about Crolla's Gelataria and was super excited tohave some gelato…read moreafter a warm day out at the park! I haven't had ice cream in months either so I was super stoked! But as I was approaching the place with my partner and friends, we were greeted with a whole ton of MESS. Dirty sticky tables outside, covered in used napkins and to-go gelato cups that had dried up melted ice cream in it (can I say EW?). Seems like the staff don't care much about cleanliness??? We had to clean everything up before sitting at one of the tables outside, which really did make my impression of the place quite bad. When you go in, there are tables and benches that are the same; not cleaned and not cleared from cups and napkins. Is this place dirty or something? :/ I have no complaints about the staff member who served us though! He was a friendly lad! He laughed at me when I asked if the toppings and sauce for my gelato were free, and then proceeded to generously coat my gelato with thousands of sprinkles and chocolate sauce. I laughed in delight as I paid 3pounds for such a wonderful portion of ice cream. I also really liked the ice cream itself! Best way to describe - SINFUL. Guilt with every bite, but it's so worth it hohohohoho! The only comment is, please maintain the cleanliness of the premises! I mean, I'm not a picky person, I don't mind seeing tables uncleared if the staff members make an effort to clean it when they notice new customers coming in, but they saw us put our stuff down, they saw us sit outside with the dirty crap and sticky stuff on the table, and yet they just shrugged it off and left us to clear everything ourselves. Indifferent much?

    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.
