Brooklyn Cafe

Shawlands has seen its share of cafes come and go over the years, with many leaving barely a trace of the bustling eateries that once sprouted in Glasgow’s southside. Amidst all the boom and bust, one cafe has survived and thrived however. Founded in 1931, Brooklyn Cafe has gone from strength to strength, accruing loyal customers who’ve gone on to become lifelong regulars. As the years and decades have passed, the cafe has evolved. Today, it boasts an accomplished grill menu, serving everything from buffalo wings to pulled pork and melt-in-the-mouth ribs. There’s a lot more to the venerable cafe than slabs of sizzling meat however. Pancake Tuesdays are for hardcore crepe lovers, while every day of the week is a good day for sipping a freshly brewed coffee and demolishing a soft, flaky pastry. First-time visitors to the diner should feel instantly at home; from the moment you walk in, the friendly greeting and the sight of table after table of relaxed customers, shooting the breeze, should put you at ease. Brooklyn Cafe is the sort of place where patrons are encouraged to linger, whether it’s savouring a leisurely cuppa or an unhurried lunch with friends. Rather than focusing on any one discipline, the cafe appears to have long since strived to be all things to all people. That’s why, in addition to serving as an American grill house, the cafe also dabbles in breakfast rolls, proper hangover food and hearty cooked breakfasts. Among the mouth-watering offerings on the menu are the pulled pork roll, which is generously loaded and served with your choice of sides; fries, mac and cheese or loaded potato skins are notable highlights. If you’re passing through Shawlands, a visit to Brooklyn Cafe has to be on the cards. Do it for the Scottish steaks; do it for the delicious cakes. Just do it.
