Dandelion Cafe in Glasgow City

We came along for the valentines dinner, they run special evenings about once a month. Food was tremendous, service was friendly and portion sizes excellent. Bring your own bottle too. We will definitely be back.

A regular spot for dining al fresco - the pleasures of dog ownership as they are; the staff are (generally) welcoming and supportive though some demonstrate a little more enthusiasm than others. Good coffee + excellence in home-produced potato salad are absolute standouts and the tray bakes + cakes are very good. Great sandwiches with Roast chicken in need of a special mention - just 🤩 One even gets to imagine that you could really beat the hardy souls braving the wind + rain + storm on the neighbouring Tennis courts; just order another coffee n’ cake 😃

A lovely wee hidden gem within the beautiful Newlands Park. Nice coffee and a wide selection of cakes.

We were looking for a quiet spot for breakfast, but nothing too fancy. Saw this on TripAdvisor and thought we would give it a try. Located in a small play park so lots of small children and dogs around outside so we are inside. The coffee was great. I didn't fancy a set meal so picked items off the extras section to create my own breakfast and my partner went for a breakfast roll. It was all cooked fresh and i suspect most of the items were made on the premises as the quality was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Always a great selection of homemade cakes. Scrumptious ciabatta with delicious sausages. Yum! Our dog adores the special doggy muffins too 😋

This is the best cafe in the area, the selection of food and cakes are fantastic and the music was fab. Definitely a must you won’t be disappointed.

I went here on Easter Monday following a trip to nearby Pollock Park - having dragged the kids to the park for a walk they were becoming hungry and restless. I promised lunch and intended to get food at Pollock Park - but due to the time of day and the crowds there was nothing left for my picky teens (2 daughters and niece). So I decided to head to The Dandelion Cafe having been a few times before. It didn’t disappoint. It was really busy but as we were sitting outside anyway because we had the dug- we ordered at the outdoor ordering station (great idea by the way!). We were served by a very cheery and efficient woman - didn’t get her name but she sounded like she hailed from across the pond! Food appeared in jig time and the surly hangry teens became almost chirpy and talkative! I’m sure I saw at least two of them smiling through their mouthfuls of delicious food. We ordered a roll with scrambled egg, a roll with bacon, a cheese and ham roll and a ciabatta with chicken bacon and tomato plus drinks. All reasonably priced too. Great ending to a lovely day! Definitely recommend for service, variety of food choices (even late in the afternoon on a busy Bank Holiday) delicious hot and yummy food and value for money!

Outstanding café! The food is amazing!! The homemade potato scones are incredible and the homemade empire biscuits are to die for!! Staff are so lovely and friendly! A MUST visit!!!!!!!

Brilliant as always. Homemade savouries and sweets/cakes! A lot of temptations here ....but who am I to resist all the goodies! Yesterday was no different... warm welcome by friendly staff. Good vibes , great coffee -and although always busy always great service. Lovely setting in the park and outdoor seating too for when the sun shines ☺️

Best wee local cafe. The food is tremendous especially the homemade soup & delicious cakes. The empire biscuits and lotus bars are out of this world. My favourite thing is the staff. They are so welcoming and friendly. They do take away coffees and treats so you can enjoy a walk round the park. The cafe also cater for dogs in a small area and have doggy muffins & doggy ice-cream for them to enjoy.

Fantastic wee hidden gem in the lovely surroundings of Newlands Park. The cakes are delicious and all freshly made. I live in England so can only go when I come to Glasgow to visit family. Hopefully next time I'll come for lunch aswell. Very highly recommended.

A lovely cafe for either sit in or takeaway. Great coffee, food and cakes and the most lovely staff. Highly recommend

This is a great spot for brunch .. and cakes!! Have been several times and the service and standard of food never fails. Also been to a vinyl night - the evening meal served would have given a Michelin star restaurant a run for its money - and the music was great too!! Thoroughly recommend it any time if day.

A real hidden gem in a beautiful setting with excellent service, and dog friendly! We visited the cafe for the first time on a busy day, but despite this, staff were attentive and the food was excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Best bacon roll I’ve ever had, no big bits of greasy rind on this roll . I forgot to ask for the roll to have no butter on but when the roll came it had a separate little butter with it, a choice, if you wanted it. The pot of tea was enough for three top ups. I enjoyed sitting in there having this roll. The Place was clean, staff were attentive all in all i would recommend.

Visited the Dandelion Cafe for the first time in 3 years and ordered takeaway rolls and sausage for myself, my Dad and my Father In Law. The price is bit more than you would expect to pay elsewhere for a roll and sausage but well...

Excellent (friendly) service; good selection of 'specials'; soup and a sandwich at a very reasonable price; love the 'eggs' options and the cake selection is varied....empire biscuits are super good!! 'Wednesday night BYOB' now on the go....defo need to book and a 'Friday vinyl night'!!...

Lovely wee tucked away cafe in netherlee park that the locals love. The staff are lovely, they have a takeaway service and sit in as well as outside seating.

We've been coming to this lovely little cafe for a couple of years now and are so glad to see that they have managed to keep going despite the Covid restrictions. They have adapted well, now providing take away meals and you can sit at...

Dandelion has adapted to these strange times with a very efficient and friendly take away service. Great coffee and notably good ice cream

What a lovely evening I had catching up with school friends. What lovely food - highly recommend the cauliflower and sirrachia noodles. Great food, value, BYOB and attentive service - what more do you need?

Staff rude and lunch well below average. Won’t be back! Got crushed avacado with chilli on toast, had to make up myself (butter toast and out avacado on) was completely bland and only a few chilli flakes on.

First visit and won’t be my last. I had the special of baked mushrooms, avocado, feta and poached egg served on slice of brown bread! Absolutely delicious!! Plus a perfect cup size of tasty cappuccino and wee love heart shortbread biscuit!! Service and value for...

this is a great wee spot in newlands park. we had soup, french toast and drinks. the food was delicious, soup was just what i was looking for - thick, nicely balanced flavours and hot enough to warm me up. the espresso was spot on....

Wednesday meal night. Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Staff fantastic.We shall be back. Chicken was great.

Visited twice , first visit dirty cup and replacement was a disgrace. They need to spend some money on replacing crockery. Second visit service was terrible, coffee was cold and replacement was no better. Sorry won’t be back, so many better places in the area.

Went along with Friend for lunch. Food lovely (French toast, maple syrup and ham) So good I spent the next few days trying to replicate it for the family. Nice , pleasant staff. Would recommend, no negatives. Janice G Glasgow

It's not often somewhere lives up to the hype. My sister has told my about the dandelion cafe of was eager to check it out. To see people waiting it to open on a cold Glasgow morning.the welcome was warm and the door was delicious....

Excellent quaint little cafe in the old pavilion of Newlands Park. Small menu of breakfast/brunch items as well as soups, sandwiches and bagels. Excellent selection of homemade cakes. Can get very busy in the afternoons.

Went with my husband for lunch homemade soup and sandwich was amazing Advisible to get federally as very busy- took Carmel shortbread home for afternoon the best I've ever tasted

I popped into this cafe feeling a bit peckish so ordered bacon rolls, cakes and drinks to take away. The drinks and cakes were ready straight away but the bacon rolls took 40 minutes. By this time the coffee was getting cold and I was...

Poor. Advertised as open till 5pm yet on our visit at 4.20pm the kitchen was closed amdthe coffee machine had been switched off. Ended up with lukewarm tea and a scone for two...8.00!!!. Will mot be back.

Completely unaware that this place existed yet live a 10 min walk away😳. Wife and I decided to visit after looking up on tripadvisor. Was rather busy and a disproportionate amount of very young weans making a lot of noise! So happened that there was...

I have been here numerous times for lunch but I went along for their evening meal on Wednesday and it was sensational. You can take your own alcoholic beverage with you or just have a soft drink. The atmosphere is very relaxed the food is...

It will be a lot better when they get permission to have tables outside the little terrace. We had coffee on the little terrace, and it was a bit like being behind prison bars and it was also very cramped. The service was very slow,...

Was working in the south side of Glasgow and thought I would grab a coffee before heading back to the office. Checking what was near by, I liked the look of the Dandelion Cafe, which is located within the pavilion of Newlands Park. Lovely inviting...

Made a point of visiting this cafe as it is dog friendly. Situated in a public park therefore it gets plenty dog owners but sadly dogs are only permitted in a small covered verandah area outside the main building. Staff were friendly and service was...

Nice setting, cafe inside is grubby, floors manky and food not so great. Problems with hygiene, wouldn’t eat there again.

Truly superb team there are the cafe. Friendly, attentive, very personable (and accommodating to a wide range of customers). Luckily, the food is great too. Baked croissant with cheesy scrambled (and bacon as an extra), bagel with chilli and a huge cheese sandwich - and...

Visited for first time although our friend has been before sadly it was pouring of rain so we never had a walk round the lovely newlands park busy with the easter holiday but only waited about tem mins for a table staff were very friendly...

I love this place. Lovely lunch and great cakes, particularly the Rocky Road. Lovely setting in Newlands Park. Friendly staff who are always happy to accommodate high chair.

Well, what can I say, a delightful experience on a Sunday afternoon! The food was delicious, generous portion sizes and surprisingly reasonably priced! The sweet potato and red pepper soup was a delight in a mug, a red pepper dream if you will! We loved...

Lovely place for lunch or coffee and cakes - the cakes are amazing! Can be busy as it's quite a small venue but usually don't have long to wait before a table

Visited this nice wee cafe on a Sunday afternoon. The food and service were both excellent. You could tell that many of the customers were regulars as there was a very friendly atmosphere. Good selection of home baking. The prices are very reasonable, we’ll be...

Loved this place, husband and I went for breakfast. He had full breakfast although you have to add on what you want. I had French toast with bacon, it was excellent. Quirky atmosphere, great service and fab food!

The cafe is a great find in the old pavilion in Newlands Park in the south side of Glasgow. The interior is lovely the staff are very friendly and attentive. It is spotlessly clean. It’s a lovely place for coffee, breakfast or lunch. The cakes...

Visited again with a family group of six for Sunday lunch. Delicious food, excellent service and value for money. I'll be back !

Nice setting within Newlands Park, staff are nice and friendly and seem keen to please although inexperience shows. Food suppliers are all of the highest quality, but of course quality comes at a price so a sandwich or bagel is really quite pricey compared to...

Lovely location in Newlands Park. Fantastic fresh food and homebaking....what more can you ask for? Dogs welcome in the under cover area outside.

Went here with 2 family members for lunch. Lovely environment just a little bit on the noisy side. Attractive menu and plenty to choose from. Food was all delicious but the only negative side was the thickness of the slices of french toast. We would...

A fabulous night at the Dandelion Café “Wine down Wednesday” food was deliciously brilliant, the café its self-had a magic cosy welcoming atmosphere about it, that’s just make you feel great and the services couldn’t be faulted. Thank you to all the Dandelion team. We...

Visited for the first time last week. Suprised at how busy this was with obvious return patrons. Nice surroundings; very attentive staff. Food nice albeit a wee bit pricey. Great place to meet up for a chat and brunch. Would return. Janice G Glasgow

I visited with family members for lunch. Parking was easy and got a table quickly. We had a variety of items from the menu including soup, sandwiches, a dish from specials and a bagel. All were beautifully presented and were delicious. We also all managed...

Love this café in Newlands Park. Perfect for a take away coffee or ice-cream when out for a walk with the dog (or you can sit at the outside tables with your dog). It is my dog's favourite place due to the lovely homemade doggy...

When quite a small 'pavilion in a park' in Newlands is in the top 300 restaurants in Glasgow you really don't need a review from me. We had a light lunch, with everything 'just so'. My club sandwich was lightly toasted brown bread with a...

this place is amazing! breakfast is very affordable and delicious, the staff are extremely friendly, the coffee is very good i absolutely love this place! great quality of food everything's freshly made i recommend it 100% !

Been here a few times, had one off experience but has never happened again. Lovely fresh baked goods! Coffee is perfect although wish it was bigger! My dog loves it here and stops even when closed looking for her doggy muffin! It’s great when weather...

Nice location within Newlands park. Always busy with locals on weekends, which is indicative of their consistently good brunch/lunch dishes. The eggs Benedict and the New York style bagel are great. The little garnishes are a cute touch. Very Instagram friendly if that's your thing.

What a lovely little place! In beautiful Newlands Park. Discovered today on a walk around the Southside with a friend. It was buzzing! Our food was delicious. I had THE most delicious bagel (New Yorker) with pastrami and pickles. It came with a delicious pot...

Visited this restaurant with my family at the weekend. Having grown up Southside of Glasgow I had fond memories of playing in Newlands Park in the late 1970's as a child. Fast forward 40 years and what was the council building for hiring tennis rackets...

Visited here for the first time with my girlfriend and a dog we were looking after. A really nice selection of all day breakfast items, as well as bagels, soup and sandwiches. There's a small veranda on the outside which happily accommodates dogs. Delicious selection...

We had been recommended to visit here by a neighbour. We went for lunch on the 30th June and it was very good. Soup and a cheese and ham sandwich for 6 pounds, very nice lunch. Cafe was really busy with families, friends out for...

My wife, daughter and I go hear quite regularly to have lunch and then have a walk in the park. The food is so fresh and tasty, and the service is so friendly. The Dandelion Cafe offers something different in the South of Glasgow. Long...

Massively busy, straightforward menu, now doing BYOB on a Wednesday night. What more could you want?

Me and my friend went for the first time today and really enjoyed the food. It’s very tasty and the staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend this cafe. Parking is also very good, outside the park. We will definitely be back very soon.

I've been to Dandelion a few times and it's great to see how much of a success it's been- always been full every times I've been! Delicious sandwiches, soups and cakes with specials that change regularly. I follow them on Instagram so it's fab to...

Dandelion cafe is a revitalized park pavilion. It smoothly run with lovely staff members and a very high quality choice for food and cakes. I have visited here countless times and it has always been a treat. Morning filled breakfast roll and hot chocolate among...

Love visiting this boutique cafe regularly with my family and dog! Food is always amazing and gourmet style as well as simple favourites. Reasonably priced and staff always lovely and friendly. Definitely worth a visit and our furry friend will enjoy the free doggy muffins...

Fabulous little cafe hidden away in newlands Park Amazing menu We had their specials which were a delight especially the smashed avocado on toast with mushrooms and poached egg The cakes also looked tasty, we will be definitely going back soon to try them

I have been to Dandelion on several occasions and have not yet been disappointed by the food, service or atmosphere. Whether you sit outside with your dog in the summer time or snuggle up warm inside in the winter time, it is the perfect place...

I really enjoy coming here when I'm back in Glasgow. We opted for breakfast rolls but our friends went for the soup and sandwich combo which they said was delicious. I've had cakes here before and they are always delicious too (especially the Empire biscuits!).

Nestled in Newlands park is a gem of a place with lovely decor, staff and delicious food, Breakfast is great cakes amazing soup lovely,, and all served with a smile. Try it!

There's nothing not to like about Dandelion. Good food, inexpensive, excellent service and a tempting range of home baking. And it's dog friendly. They do the best mushrooms I have tasted, but they aren't on the regular menu, you can only get them when they...

Popped in for a sandwich, coffee and cake after hearing how good this place is. We were not disappointed. Portions and quality couldn’t be faulted for cakes or sandwiches and the coffee was very good indeed. Lovely staff topped the visit off. Great place!

We’ve been here 3 times now; twice for proper breakfast and once for brunch (yesterday). The other half needed brekkie, so he had two breakfast rolls, which looked delicious (including lovely crispy bacon). I had macaroni & cheese with garlic bread (which was a special...

Just what dog walkers, and others want. A cafe in the park, with front porch area for you and your dog. With great food including beautiful cakes, and drinks plus a treat for your dog. Inside it is comfortable and warm. Reasonably priced, a great...

We popped in for a coffee and a scone and it was delightful. It is popular so can be busy there have alot of tables and we didn't have to wait.

Excellent food reasonably priced with pleasant surroundings and first class service. And some delicious cake to take home.

Best breakfast on the southside. Great home baking and super soups. Only downside they sell dear green coffee which I hate but their teas are super big pots plenty of cups Their presentation of dishes is just beautiful edible flowers are a treat

Midweek lunch with my daughter as we were both off work. Pleasant parkland setting on a nice day. We sat outside as it was busy indoors. We both had the New York pastrami bagel which was excellent with home made slaw. It a very dog...

Have lunched there a few times over the last year and it is consistently good. Serves breakfast, lunch and has a selection of the most delicious cakes. The location is a former sports pavilion in Newlands Park and because of it's age, has charm and...

Good food, friendly service, reasonable prices. A good way to start the day. Set in Newlands Park, an altogether pleasant experience.

Lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. Soup just lovely as was the sandwiches. Excellent hot filled rolls with excellent quality sausage. Great coffee and delicious cakes. Set in Newlands Park and very much worth finding.

Only our second visit, but we should be back more regulaly. Nice surroundings, ellent service, and good food (amazing cakes). What more could you want? - Oh yes, it's cheap too.

We went here for a wonderful brunch! Absolute fantastic! Food and service were excellent. Could not fault a thing. Staff were friendly and food was fresh and very tasty. Presentation was great too. Loved the wee sign in my bagel. Wonderful! Such a hidden gem!...

A lovely wee cafe. Nice for a light lunch but especially for a fab cake. Always busy which speaks for itself. Also good if you have a dog with you as can sit outside under cover.

Came here with my friend and her daughter and my dog! We were all welcome in the covered seating area outside. Staff very friendly and helpful! Good selection on menu, we just had coffee and scone which was nice, coffee was great! My dog loves...

In the middle of a lovely small park, perfect for a good quality light bite or coffee and cake with friends. A transformation and fantastic use of space that was previously a derelict building.

I had never been here before and I was pleasantly surprised. The place is really relaxed and welcoming. Staff were all very friendly. I had the carrot and coriander soup which was delicious. The bagel with chilli was excellent as was the coleslaw and guacamole...

Have visited a few times and all the food is lovely. Lots of cakes to choose from, choice of sandwiches is limited but very tasty. Will visit again

I'm in Newlands Park most days walking my dog and must have walked past this cafe dozens of times, only figuring out what it was when it popped up on Trip Advisor. Having then seen the pictures of all the delicious looking cakes I knew...

We had not visited this little park setting before now, but were pleasantly surprised to find Dandelion situated in what must have been the tennis club in former days. We rocked up for a morning break from shopping. The coffee was good: there is a...

We have been a few times and every time are bowled over by the food quality. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your visit the best it can be. The cakes are simply amazing as well, can thoroughly...

I love the concept of this place. Food was great. Best scones ever!!! Empire biscuits brilliant too. Bruschetta on tasty bread, delicious pesto (I'd prefer the cherry tomatoes chopped rather than whole). French toast amazing. There is however a MASSIVE problem... Outside the cafe there...

Cafe in a local park so nice enough setting. We visited as a family, myself, husband, adult son and 92 year old mum after reading the reviews on here. The cafe was very busy, we hadn't booked so were quite happy to wait for a...

Went for lunch with my sister in law and we both loved it. Amazing cauliflower and thyme soup...then the very taste chorizo and veg mash. Staff were helpful and friendly. Busy little place and great for dog walkers as they have a covered outdoor area...

This is a gem , right on our doorstep practically. great home made soup and home baking. regular return visits guaranteed.

Popped into Dandelion after being turned away from 2 local cafes that were fully booked. The friendly staff at dandelion managed to squeeze us in and we had a lovely lunch. Love the New Yorker bagel. My daughter loved the roast tomato and chorizo soup.

This is a lovely wee place in the middle of the park. Went for lunch and had the soup & sandwich and they were very kind to offer me a little taste of both soups as I couldn't decide. Both were excellent and I would...

I adore this shop. The walk to it from my flat, the park surrounding it, the welcoming lovely staff, the cakes, the coffee, the food. Go weekly with either my husband or myself to study and take any visiting friends. Deserves every good word said...
