Brunch in Glasgow: Pot Luck

Pot Luck. It seems like the hottest brunch spot in the South side right now, and has been seriously filling up my Instagram feed. I made my first visit at the end of July (which was already overdue, to be honest, but there’s only so many hours in the week to eat all of the food). A short stroll from my favourite spots South side spots – Southside Roasters and Tapa – Pot Luck sits on Nithsdale Road. I don’t know much about the background of the company but I believe they opened around May this year. My friend and I stopped by around 2.30pm or something on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was almost full. But there just happened to be a table for two free – winner.

Wilson Street Pantry has had some honorable mentions on the blog before. Today they’re getting their own post after I had a lovely breakfast there a few weeks ago. I’ve dropped in for a takeaway coffee a dozen times, and popped in for lunch prior, too. But this was my first time sampling their breakfast menu.

Exploring Prague, Czech Republic – Part 2

And here we continue exploring Prague, starting with the Jewish Quarter. If you missed my first post, you can view it here.

JEWISH QUARTER / JOSEFOV
WWW.JEWISHMUSEUM.CZ/EN/INFO/VISIT

It was lovely wandering around here first thing on a Sunday morning; so peaceful and so beautiful. The architecture really is gorgeous and I couldn’t help but look up at every corner. It turns out a huge part of where the Jewish community settled in Prague (formerly known as the Jewish Ghetto) was torn down, in an attempt to rebuild the city based on the Paris model. A number of synagogues remain here, but the rebuilt surroundings are just as wonderful to explore.

Exploring Prague, Czech Republic – Part 1

Exploring Prague. We visited Prague in May for a few days – major tick on the travel bucket list. Arriving on Friday, we checked into our hotel (which was actually more of a B&B kind of situation, but I would highly recommend based on comfort and location) and went out on the hunt for dinner.

Brunch in Glasgow: Tapa, Pollokshaws Road

Tapa – tapacoffee.com
721 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow G41 2AA

Today we’ve got one of my Glasgow Southside favs – Tapa Organic. They have a branch in Dennistoun too which I haven’t visited, but I’m sure it’s equally as great.

Sitting on Pollokshaws Road (across from the wonderful Southside Roasters cafe), Tapa serves up fresh, delicious breakfast and lunch dishes. From a full breakfast and French toasts to fresh deli sandwiches and Caesar salad – they’ve got you covered on all the brunch classics. They also bake a huge variety of organic bread in their own bakery which you can buy to take away. And last but not least, I believe they brew their own coffee as well. Extra brownie points.

Last weekend took me to the Southside, and I couldn’t miss checking out Southside Roasters’ new coffee shop. Southside Roasters are a small batch coffee roaster based in Glasgow. They opened their doors to their first coffee shop a couple of months ago. I’ve been really keen to check out their cafe since seeing the work in progress snaps of building the shop on their Instagram.

Five Places for Coffee in Glasgow

If you’re in need of a good quality caffeine jolt in Glasgow city centre, look no further. The Glasgow coffee scene is pretty strong, and these are five of my favourite places to hit up for a coffee in Glasgow.

Laboratorio Espresso
labespr.tumblr.com

My absolute number one. Whenever anyone asks for a coffee recommendation in Glasgow, Laboratorio Espresso is my first suggestion. Laboratorio Espresso is a small Italian-inspired coffee shop located on West Regent Street, just behind Buchanan Street. They serve a curated selection of coffees and snacks (and teas, if your company is that way inclined), in a beautifully designed, minimalist environment. If it’s a nice day you can take a seat outside. You’ll find a small selection of pastries, cakes and sandwiches if you’re peckish. I would recommend a lemon cannoli to pair with your coffee of choice; I promise you won’t regret it.

Visiting Copenhagen in December

Of all the cities I have visited so far, visiting Copenhagen was a very special trip. This may have been because it was during the festive season. Copenhagen in December is just adorable. Either way, if you’re considering a trip to Denmark over Winter, don’t let the cold put you off. The wind blew hard and the rain regularly drizzled, but it didn’t dampen our Christmas spirits.  This city is just wonderful.

I visited Copenhagen last December, and with Christmas rolling around again out of nowhere, I really just wanted to reminisce.  This city deserves some praise, and hopefully, this post will give you some tips if you’re planning on visiting anytime soon. Everywhere mentioned is in the city centre, or just outside of it. So let’s talk about visiting Copenhagen.

Anyone who knows Papercup Coffee will probably be familiar with their Great Western Road location – one which I have never actually visited. So when I saw they were opening a city centre location in May, the prospect of another new regular coffee haunt in my ‘hood was exciting.  I finally popped in last week to sample their coffee and, of course, their cakes.

If you’re in need of some good coffee and fancy going somewhere new, head south down to The Briggait where you’ll find the Dear Green Pop Up.  I made my first visit here last year around October, and they’re opening their doors again Friday-Sunday for the rest of summer.

So a few weeks ago when it was like a real life summer in Glasgow, Rick and I went for a walk (as we always do) to catch some rays.  And now said rays have (inevitably) disappeared I thought I’d reminisce about the time we stopped into Tantrum Doughnuts at random and treated ourselves to our first Tantrum experience.

76 Victoria Rd, Glasgow G42 7AA

A chilly Saturday morning and a break from the endless Glasgow rain meant one thing – a winter’s walk, and a visit to bakery47.  My first visit to be exact. With the sporadic opening hours and limited info available online, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.  What I found was a warm and welcoming bakery-come-cafe with a pastry selection to please everyone imaginable.
