Cafe Strange Brew

Glasgow


This has such cachet as the Southside's, if not the city's, best cafe, that you'll be waiting in line most days. It's worth the enforced contemplation though, with generous, vibrant, filling brunchy fare that draws on global influences as well as closer-to-home inspiration. Presentation is a high point; leave room for the sinfully sticky desserts.
