Langside Cafe @ Langside Place

We’ve been meaning to go to Langside Café for ages, well several months at least. I never really realised that Langside Place really existed, having always walked along Langside Avenue and down into Battlefield. It’s a great find, there are some interesting wee shops there, which I’ll have to go back and have a look around.

One of these is the Langside Cafe, which is located opposite the Queens Park Camera Club. It's traditional bright yellow sign and red and white stripped awning harks back to another time. The café is actually quite small inside, with red booths down both sides, with old style narrow tables, which means you have to stagger the plates to fit them on the table. A long the walls are images of old glasgow and behind the counter are rows and rows of jars of sweets like soor plums, sherbet lemons, Everton mints and the likes.

It was really busy when we arrived, but we managed to get the last booth at the back of the cafe. We ordered a full cooked breakfast and another without the meat, two cups of tea and some toast. The breakfast was ok just what you expect from a greasy cafe, but the cafe itself is unique and worth a visit. There is a huge selection of sweets in jars, large boxes of chocolates and ice cream. So we also bought a small tub of ice cream and a quarter of fudge. Alburt introduced me to the delight of biting a piece of fudge and then eating some ice cream at the same time - it's actually very good.

It was too busy too take many photos but Anne at I like has some really nice ones. We'll try and get some more pics soon
