the glad cafe

very cool venue, a community focused business. there’s plenty of seating for coffee, food or to buckle down with a laptop to do work.
the menu is always changing as they feature different chefs for a period of time. kind of like a “pop up” style. at the moment they have a syrian menu forbreakfastlunch and “pop up” babu kitchen for dinner.
i went in for lunch and we had a fantastic syrian vegetable stew with rice, and eggs with tomato sauce and flatbread. they were simple to the eye, but the flavours made me go “wow”!
also had american coffees that were really good, they’re made with less water and had a lovely crema. i would recommend them.
if i had room in my stomach i would have gone for the vegan oreo cake, it looked great.
make sure you come to glad cafe more than once to enjoy it’s many talents - breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and a gig.
happy 6th birthday, glad cafe!

on my secondbreakfastvisit to the glad cafe i was not as disappointed as i was on my first visit where we were given less than fresh rolls! however thebreakfastmenu is without a doubt poor! (that's of the waitress gives you abreakfastmenu as the page was missing) i understand that it is aiming for the ambience of a west end trendy wee cafe venue and will no doubt fill the place with lentil craving mung bean eating satchel wearing wanna be trendy types but at least make the effort with the menu? cake was nice?
