Really cosy, friendly, local cafe with homemade bakes and lovely hot chocolate and coffees. Brought our niece and nephew to show them how service and food should be done. A bargain considering the quality.

They are closed on Sundays but opened specially to accommodate our large party of 17 for breakfast. We enjoyed a traditional Scottish breakfast. Staff were friendly. Cafe very clean too

Visited during the 'Eat out to help out scheme' Was nervous to do so but was reassured that every social distancing measure was in place and hand sanitizer was at the entrance doorway and restroom doorway. Staff wore PPE and took contact details for our party. They were also very mindful of space. My friend and I were able to relax and enjoy our lunch and not feel on edge. Thank you to the wonderful staff!! Would highly recommend!

Kind of odd but nice with teapots as decor. Awkward to get up to but not impossible with a buggy. Good choice of lunch options. Hot filled rolls, soup and sandwich type things. Good kids menu. Lovely cakes. The best lentil soup ever. It's where we go in Milngavie. If you had a dog you'd go to the dog cafe, if you wanted fancier fare you'd go to finsbay and if you wanted pizza you'd go to F but this is where you'd go for a cheap nice lunch served by someone's mum.
