It is just like any other every day Gregg's food. Noting too special, and there's a nice selection of nice food in the shops. Noting too fancy. You can get cold or hot food on take away. read more

They were very busy and their display case was filled with lots of delicious looking premium pastries, cookies, little pies, breads and so much more. The staff was super friendly and made our visit even more enjoyable. We purchased a few bars, cookies, hand pies and some scones. The prices were very reasonable. Every item was super fresh and extremely tasty. The cream filling in the pies was super creamy and rich. The filled cookies were amazing and I wished that I had more. The bars were irresistible and loaded with fresh fruits.
Great cakes here & good onion pies as well & plus it is very cheap no matter what you buy.read more

A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch
Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.
A few things on offer today.

The staff who work in Anderson's are actual bakers who make all the delights they have on offer in the bakery that morning rather than the mass produced, heated up rubbish they often sell in Aulds. I am not a big savory pastry fan but the sausage rolls are so yummy and when I lived in the area I loved popping in for one to munch on while I waited on the bus into university. You have to be really quick though because after around 1/1:30 in the afternoon most of the goodies will be gone! I have to give a special mention to Anderson's utterly divine chocolate cake with chocolate cream filling and chocolate icing. If I had to choose between a night in bed with Brad Pitt circa Meet Joe Black and one of these cakes it would be the cake every time. Sorry Brad! Even though I am now in my 20s my mum still orders me one of these cakes for my birthday every year. How good are mums?

We took a drive out to Three Sisters Bake for a special occasion (Graeme's birthday!) - if you take…read morethe attitude that the trip there and back is part of the adventure, you'll love it. The weather wasn't the best so I found it a little stressful but we found our way there in the end! I think the easiest way to get there is via Paisley/Bridge of Weir but if you like a long drive, you could go via Port Glasgow (ahem). I'd never been to Quarrier's Village before and was keen to get out and explore after lunch but with the rain, didn't have a chance. Quarrier's is like something out of a movie, lots of open, grassy green space and cute houses. It's a really delightful area. Three Sisters Bake is easy to find at the end of Faith Avenue and is one of the most magical cafés I've stepped into in a long time. I was there for the food, but I think the decor won me over just as much. I love the bright colours and attention to detail - this is a real wonderland, the kind of place you only see on wedding blogs and Pinterest. Onto the food. We were there for a long time, so ordered loads of food - the seafood platter to share for starter, and then I had the gourmet cheese on toast. With a heavenly mackerel pate and some seriously juice prawns with chilli and coriander this was a great way to start off a long lunch and made a good size starter between two. There was also some really soft and smooth smoked salmon on the board which I scoffed up while Graeme wasn't looking. The cheese on toast was way more fancy than I'd expected and came with a smothering of rocket - probably one of my favourite green things, so I was well chuffed. There was also leek hiding under the mature cheddar which definitely upped the age limit of this cheese on toast. For desserts we had a look at the cake counter but as I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I initially wasn't fussed. That was until I overheard the waitress delivering coconut and lime tart to the table behind me. I love coconut and lime! I tried to order it but that was actually part of their wedding tasting menu, not a dessert they were serving that day. But the delightful waitress went to check, and got a slice just for me - what a gem! Service was impeccable, friendly and warm and you can tell they all know a lot about the menu and that all the food is freshly prepared. I'm not sure I've managed to do Three Sisters Bake justice, but one thing I do know for sure - if you haven't been, you really need to go!

I find the icing on the doughnuts to be a bit plastic-y, the steak bakes weirdly sweet and the sausage rolls flavourless. I know, I know, Greggs has its place just like any other fast food option and I can't deny the hangover curing power of some of their pastries. I occasionally pop in for one of their sandwiches, which are actually generally pretty good. This branch though? This branch should probably be avoided where possible. They're just so slow! Maybe I'm just getting unlucky but it always seems that there's only one person serving, even while someone else is working in the back and a queue forms. Usually the person serving seems a bit bewildered. Last time I was there I was the only person in the store, I went to pay and the person serving looked at me and said "I'll be back in five minutes."

Extras: Handy for Hillhead underground, served you earlier than the stated opening time for a while (don't know if it still does, I've no need to be on Byres road at half seven anymore) and they knock some pennies off if you dive in at two minutes to closing time. Like any small Greggs in a busy street (esp one with schools nearby) it can be low on specific items you might want (though like any Greggs, wait 5 or 10 minutes and they'll be back) and can get queued out onto the street; though they get through that queue very quickly. Something I realised the other day, while on instructions to nip down the road in the rain for some specific types of hot food for a sick missus, is that while Byres road is packed full of places to eat, there isn't a lot of competition in the cheap pastries style of old Greggs. And to be honest, I'm glad there's still someplace you can get decent, hot food to go for a couple of quid on that street; from experience, it's the fuel of the (skint) student and working man alike. That, combined with it being an unfussy place to give me a coffee and roll on cold, pitch black mornings of the past, puts it above the 'average' rating each individual Greggs should aim to have by default.

I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area, but to be honest there are so many lovely Greggs around now, that I wouldn't say it's worth going out your way.

That might be the case for those of you who grew up here and take these stores for granted, however, for those of us who weren't that lucky, this place is awesome!! I first tried Greggs within my first week in Scotland. I was walking through town with Craig when I started to get hungry and wasn't sure what I felt like having. We were pretty close to a Greggs and Craig said "Do you want a sausage roll"......like I was supposed to know what that means! "What's that" I asked......I never got an explanation, all I got was an assurance that it was "delicious". By this point I was starving and would have eaten pretty much anything so I agreed on the sausage roll. All I can say is thank god I did!! I had never tried, or seen, anything like it but I knew I'd be seeing a lot more of them! Since then I've tried a whole bunch of things from Greggs. Pies, cakes, wraps, rolls, sandwiches but I always go back to those sausage rolls, they are definitely the best thing available here. Obviously Greggs isn't something I'd choose to have everyday (it's like a super upgrade of the 711 stores we have in the US) but it does come in really handy for the odd breakfast or lunch when all else fails. With the sheer numbers of stores all over town too, it's always pretty easy to find one close by. I really love fresh bakeries in Scotland and trying different things from these places and Greggs is definitely one of the better ones. If for some crazy reason you haven't tried anything here before, I'd strongly suggest you do, you won't regret it! I always find it's great value for money in here, the service is always quick, and I've never had a single problem in any Greggs store I've been in. This location is close to the mall & most attractions in the center with fast & friendly staff. Cool during winter but super neglected when the Christmas markets are in town!

Such is the omnipresence of Greggs in Glasgow City Centre. The common myth that you're only ever a few metres away a rat, was actually based on the principal of never being more than a few metres away from Greggs. This one is on Union Street, and as such, gets really busy at peak times. Less so than the one literally round the corner though which attracts the folks employed in the businesses that dominate that region to the West of Glasgow Central.
