What a great place! Went in with a killer hangover and came out feeling a million times better. Went for the brisket toastie and an acai bowl. Both were delicious and so fresh. The staff working that morning were attentive and friendly. The place has a great atmosphere with some funky artwork. Will definitely be back.

Overview
Down To Earth is a daytime real-food kitchen at 351 Dumbarton Road in Partick — brunch, bowls, burgers and shakes made from scratch. The listing’s main website (downtoearthglasgow.com) was unreachable when checked; the active venue page is on dte-website.vercel.app, which matches recent sale particulars: open Thursday–Sunday 10am–5pm (kitchen closes 30 minutes earlier), closed Monday–Wednesday. The offer is flexitarian rather than strictly vegetarian: vegan burgers (including a Manhattan vegan house favourite), Buddha bowls, acai bowls, Korean beef toast and a Big Breakfast Brioche sit on the same menu. Dog-friendly. Walk-ins welcome; phone to book. Call 0141 561 9811 (vercel also lists 0141 483 7954 and downtoearthteam@outlook.com). A September 2026 LinkedIn sale post says the leasehold was sold to a new operator (Chloe) while still trading Thu–Sun 10–5. An older downtoearthglasgow.co.uk page (different phone and seven-day hours) looks outdated. Instagram @downtoearthglasgow. A stone’s throw from Partick station per the current site.
Reviews
Honestly my new favourite place! We had two great vegan Buddha bowls and a brilliant vegan manhattan sandwich, as well as some rosemary chips that were phenomenal, with lots more on the menu I’d love to try. The drinks options were great and the chai latte is made with powder rather than syrup, which is always a relief. The ambience was bright and easy going, and the staff member who dealt with us was absolutely fantastic. The food came swiftly, but not suspiciously so; you can tell everything is made with care and intention. I have no doubt I’ll be back very soon!
Read on Google MapsVery inviting place with a casual and comfortable, down to Earth(😏) atmosphere. There are lots of options on the menu; happening options that are better than the typical stuff that you'll find in most other places. I would like to give a higher score for the food, but I was unable to try any of the main options due to allergies. The staff were kind and welcoming; especially when accommodating my awkward medical/allergy needs (I felt bad for being a bother, but they were very nice about it). The waiter (Kevin?) was a one person army taking care of the steady flow of business, the kitchen staff were also working away hard (none of the kitchen staff were wearing hats which I thought was required in professional kitchens). Kitchen staff were competent and pleasant; seemed to really know their stuff👍 Coffee seemed a little weak (guess I'm just used to deeper flavours). I felt great after being here; the smoothie I had along with the staff's welcoming attitude must have done me good😊
Read on Google MapsCame here for a brunch before meeting friends. Lovely egg Benedict. The staff was super friendly. Great menu with lots of options. Also dog-friendly.
Read on Google MapsMust go in Glasgow! Nicki and Donna are a delight! The menu has so many options. The food is delicious and the service is even better. I had the chicken peri peri bowl, it’s a nice portion and the flavors were amazing! My friend and I shared the brisket fries, these are delight. Brisket is very flavorful. For my vegetarian- we also tried roastie toast it was delightful onion jam treat! I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. This is a must if your in this neighborhood!
