Cafe Strange Brew Glasgow

Local & cosy

""Cafe Strange Brew" is not to be passed if you find yourself on this side of Glasgow. Their increasingly popular matcha lattes make me come back for more."

Cafe Strange Brew has been such a popular brunch spot that it had to move across the street to accommodate more adoring customers! 

The baked eggs are a delight and there is plenty more from the menu to sample. It has such a cult following, word is out all around Glasgow about how tasty the food is! Cafe Strange Brew is definitely not to be missed if you find yourself in the Southside (I would recommend finding yourself there). 

Kombucha is also a great addition to the drinks range as a popular, healthy fermented tea. Cafe Strange Brew is busy and full of bustle but it is worth the wait. 'Keeping Shawlands Strange' is the cafe's motto and it is known for great coffee but it also has a ridiculously delicious range of homemade cakes available. Bring a book or a pal and get yourself over to one of the best brunches on this side of the city!

Side note, they have recently opened a sister cafe in Dennistoun called Mesa which another branch of brunch heaven!
