Overview

Bramble is a neighbourhood brunch café at 924 Pollokshaws Road on the Shawlands / Queen's Park corner of Glasgow's south side. It made its name on Fenwick Road in Giffnock, then relocated here in June 2021 into the former Cosgrove Care shop at the junction with Springhill Gardens, opposite Queen's Park. The menu mixes straightforward breakfasts — scrambled egg on Freedom Bakery sourdough, pancakes, brioche — with more inventive plates such as Mexy Benedict, Cajun corn toast, chimichurri dishes, Korean-style eggs and chicken and waffles. Coffee (including iced Spanish latte), tea and homemade cakes round it out. Reviewers regularly call out generous portions, friendly service and a bright corner room with big windows. It is walk-in only, with a waiting list when busy; weekends often mean a queue, so many locals aim for opening. Hours are commonly listed as 9am–4pm daily. Dogs are welcome (there is a doggy menu). Customer reviews name Lucy as the owner. There is no booking system and no confirmed sister venues — the Giffnock site closed when they moved.

Really tasty lunch at Bramble Café today. I had the Korean fried chicken and waffles, my brother had the pancakes with pistachio and white chocolate ganache with raspberries and mascarpone cream. Delicious! Can't fault it. Service was quick and staff very friendly. Beautiful big picture windows on a little street corner in Shawlands. Lovely spot in Glasgow. Highly recommend, I'll be back just like Arnie.

Food was delicious and very filling. Great service too, friendly and helpful staff. We only had to wait about 20 minutes, had a wee walk and they called us when a table was available. Would highly recommend.

Sign of a great food spot is almost always a queue outside, but Bramble is always worth the wait. Best scrambled eggs in Glasgow. My puppy loves it so much when we go past he always tries to go in. The dog menu is so appreciated and the team are always absolutely lovely and very hardworking 🩷

Absolutely delicious brunch!! My boyfriend got the black pudding brunch and I got the mexy. I went for a side of halloumi and he got a side of hashbrowns. We also got the coconut and raspberry cake. The food was incredible - I will be back as there were a few options I would like to try. Nice staff too! Little bit of a wait sometimes, but worth it 🙂

Two days in a row we, a group of six, breakfasted bright and early at Bramble because the menu has so many choices for vegetarians and the gluten-free, the superbly plated up food is delicious, and the service is friendly and first-rate. For the first breakfast I had a savoury dish, choosing chilli scrambled eggs, with halloumi and cheesy hash browns. Second day I opted for the sweet, the special of the day peaches and cream pancake. Pancakes were light, the fruit in season, and the compote complemented nicely with the crumble. Next time we're in Glasgow, we'll be there 9am sharp!
