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!

Was pretty sure I'd reviewed this place but, as I was in the area I popped in to what used to be a…read moreregular haunt when I lived nearby. A family run, very popular, place, Crema has a great range of food. From paninis (heaven is full of their chicken pesto paninis) to homemade bakes and cakes, hearty soups and a nice line of caffeine based beverages, I spent many a Saturday/Sunday morning brunching here. There are more seats upstairs, and whilst the decor is pretty bog standard, check out the amazing photographs on the walls, amazing portraits in black and white. Price wise it is about average, although the temptation of cake always meant our bill was a little high for a brunch but hey, what's life about if not treating yourself?!! I'd recommend Crema if you are in Hamilton town centre (or even down at the Asda, it's not much of a walk) for any reason. Good food, friendly helpful staff, for a good price. If you are lucky you can chat to the owner(s) and see just how passionate they are about sourcing local produce as well, an excellent sign!

Food comprises snacks with toasties and other light snacks being heated on the premises on order. Coffee is smooth and enjoyable with no bitter aftertaste. Staff are usually too busy to do much more than take orders, prep food and take money. It is rather cramped especially when several people are waiting for their take away orders, but places worth recommending are usually very popular and this is no exception.

I like Big Mouth Coffee but somehow I always forget that it's there. Perhaps the lure of Byres Road…read morekeeps me away from it but if that's the case it's undeserved. The coffee is good and strong, the WiFi is free, the food is hearty. On my most recent visit I ordered a latte and a bowl of the soup of the day, which turned out to be Scotch broth. The portion came served with bread and was absolutely huge - it was also somewhere between soup and stew, thanks to the chunky vegetables in it. Perfect for warming up on a chilly day. I've occasionally visited for events in the past and they seem very happy for their space to be used as more than just a coffee shop. I think it changed hands a couple of years ago but that hasn't at all diminished the feeling you get that Big Mouth is part of a real community in Partick, one that it deserves some credit for helping to grow.

I'd have to say that this cafe is pretty much my favorite one while I lived in Glasgow. I…read morefrequented it almost once a week. Now that I'm back in America, I miss this place a lot! Glaswegians, your cafes have definitely spoiled me and I can't find anything that compares to this in the U.S. When you walk in, you automatically get this cozy and warm feeling. Try to get a seat in the upstairs dining area, because this is where you will feel the most warmth. I also like sitting in the bar stools by the window because I like looking outside at the rain. If you find yourself waiting for a table, just take that time to browse the pastries, savory foods laid out, and even their selection of cookbooks. Their selection of cake and tarts change daily, but if they have leftovers one day then they serve the leftovers the next day until they are gone, but a lot of the time their pastries sell out on the first day. Bonus to this is that your pastries are definitely fresh! But the pastries still taste good even if they are a day old. Trust me. My go-to pastries were the Belgian Chocolate Cake or the vanilla custard tarts. This cake has hazelnuts inside of it and is served with raspberries, chocolate bits, dusted with sugar on top. If you love chocolate, this cake is the way to go. The vanilla custard tarts reminded me of home (because I would get Egg Tarts at Chinese bakeries and this vanilla custard tart tasted just like a egg tart) The only difference is that the tart at Kember & Jones had flaky layers of crust, which made the tart even better. My go-to drinks are hot chocolate or the Moroccan Fresh Mint Tea. The hot chocolate is served with foam and little chocolate bits on top. The Mint tea is served in a clear glass, but it comes hot (which was weird because I didn't think you would serve hot drinks in a glass) but I understood why because it has a bunch of mint leaves in it that changes the color of the drink to a light tan. It's cute and if you have a sore throat, it will make you feel better. Other things that I have tried and loved were the Warm Waffle (because it was served with syrup and fresh fruit), the French Lemonade (It was pink lemonade with a little bit of sourness), and the macarons (They make different ones each week. Try all of them because they go fast! I have to say during Christmas time their Christmas pudding one tastes pretty good, too.) Last thing to note is that the staff is very nice. I never really feel pushed to leave. They are polite and attentive.

You will not get a Michelin star level of service, the food will not be delicate and subtle, nor will it win awards and that's all a-ok with me! We were in this part of Paisley whilst I was getting a punctured fixed so I wasn't in the best of moods as it was, but isn't it amazing what a cheery welcome and a smile will do for your mood! It was mid-morning so we had the place to ourselves for a caffeine and breakfast, but I won't hesitate to pop in next time I'm in the area... in fact given how good some of the cakes on display looked I may even go out of my way to get some... er... cake research done. Our tea and coffee appeared swiftly, shortly followed by a breakfast rolls (bacon for Kirsty, sausage for me) which were just as quickly devoured! As far as breakfast rolls go they certainly hit the mark, and my coffee wasn't too bad at all, certainly better than I had expected! Definitely a wee hidden gem to have up your sleeve.

I saw that Matilda's had finally opened after what seemed a long time. I had heard that it was…read moregoing to be a patisserie from STV News and was rather excited because I visit Paris a lot and LOVE cake. I walked in and people were sitting down have cake and coffee, there is a good seating area downstairs but also on a mezzanine level as well. They have salads, sandwiches, coffee, tea and soft drinks to serve alongside numerous cheesecakes, frangipane tarts, tart tatins, eclairs, Creme brûlées, macarons and more. All very reasonably priced. The tarts and cakes come in around £2.50 and the macarons are 50p each (with a discount if you buy more). I couldn't resist buying a pistachio macaron & it was VERY good. Thumbs up from the macaron connoisseur here. I also bought a pear tart tatin, an apple tart, a passion fruit mousse cake and a chocolate and pistachio eclair. All cakes were lovely. Definitely coming back, this time will sit in for lunch and grab more cakes to takeaway :) Will probably turn into my new favourite coffee and cake destination. I wish there were more cakes though. Like LOTS of cake. In my mouth preferably.

Food There is quite a selection to choose from, panini's, cakes to even breakfasts, there is a fantastic display tempting you to buy one of their freshly baked cakes. I've not had the chance to dine in always in a hurry and take out is sometimes best option. Atmosphere This place has a nice atmosphere and vibe to it, but reminds me of much of the past days where you had to Queue and that just reminded me so much of school dinners and that wasn't a happy memory. Service Is not always service with a smile it may just be me but on the last two visits I've ended up with a grumpy goat for a server, who will serve someone else that is in the line before me even though I'm standing right at the till. I like the food served here and want to come more often, but the grumpy staff make me avoid this place.

A couple of years ago, their shop expanded to include a little café, where you can enjoy their chocolates with a hot drink.

I bought a box of the chocolates for Maw once and she said they were fantastic, although they're the kind of ones you can only eat 2 or 3 of at a time. For it being such a small, quality business, prices actually aren't that bad.

Anyhow, I recall her excitement at finding this place a while back but never having been in. I took it upon myself to do all the work and pick her up some chocolates for a mini-celebration. They might have been better than the ones I have just worked through from Marks and Spencers I got from Christmas, and were certainly better than Thorntons. Everything in Thorntons sort of tastes the same, in the same way everything in McDonalds also tastes the same. The staff were friendly and chatty and more or less done the work on my behalf to be fair with regards to buying the chocolates, all I done was actually pay for them. Didn't pay as much as I was prepared to either so I treated myself to a cup of coffee, which was also above average. I am a romantic man. Who knows how to treat himself as well.
