ice-cream, ice-cream

Mmmmmm, last night we had some delicious ice-cream from one of our favourite little Southside cafes - the Brooklyn Cafe. We opted for the £1.70 tub as illustrated above. Normally I go for a double oyster, raspberry sauce and a flake, but today decided on the healthier option. It really is fandabbydozy ice-cream and it even made the Sunday Herald's list of 100 things to do in Scotland before you die. (Though I'm not sure from their tone if they are making fun of Westenders by suggesting they can't leave the Westend bubble or making fun of southsiders by suggesting they live in no mans land?)

38. Sugar-rushing at The Brooklyn Cafe: "Before you die, you should visit The Brooklyn Cafe on the south side of Glasgow (west-enders will need booster jags and sherpas, so plan ahead). Having found it, buy a double-nougat with vanilla ice-cream, raspberry sauce and sprinkles. Walk slowly to Queen's Park, round the duck pond and back again, by which time you should be ready for another one."

There are quite a number of fantastic Glaswegian cafes in the Southside - maybe we should do an investigation into which one is the best. Please send us your thoughts as to the number one cafe in the South of Glasgow and we'll poll the results and then check them out for review. I think high on the requirements list should be the quality of both the cafes ice cream and their cooked breakfasts.
