Ikafe breakfast

Ikafe - Nithsdale Road Pollokshields

So in our ongoing quest to find the best cafe breakfast in the Southside we paid a visit to Ikafe in Pollokshields. Its a lovely wee place with a really nice varied menu - covering breakfast through to dinner. They even do home take away meals and will cater for your dinner parties.

The breakfast was very nice. Annie had the veggie breakfast and I had the full Scottish with cibatta, toast, potato scones, beans, fried egg, lorne sausage, bacon, mushrooms and fried tomatoes. Annie tells me the veggie one was very tasty but of course the carnivore one is what we are all concerned with. Lets break down the highlights.

The lorne sausage was delicious - I always prefer lorne instead of the banger kind
Bacon - very tasty but a bit strange texture - i like it more crispy
Egg - nicely cooked - runny enough to dunk toast and thankfully not enough to run everywhere
Beans - very nice touch - in a separate wee dish - no bean juice over everything
Toast/ ciabatta - veggie breakfast came with toast, the carnivore with a ciabatta. Must admit I preferred the toast and was able to persuade ann to swap one toast for one ciabatta. Toast was thick and well fired but there was a very poor offering of one tiny butter which wasn't enough
Potato scone - looked burned but was actually very nice
Mushrooms/ Tomatoes - I don't like these so didn't really eat them - its the same with salads I view them as decorations

All in all, a high standard and I give it a

**** out of 5 yum

Of special note was their apple juice - it was tasty, organic and served in a tall good quality glass.

Mmmmm full cooked breakfast
