Overview

Homemade at No. 11 is Caitlin’s sandwich and café shop on Dowanhill Street in the West End (Partick end). She opened after starting HomemadeByCaitlin as a lockdown food business and has been clear about the brief: huge American-style sandwiches in the Sopranos mould — the kind that take half an hour to finish. Chicken parm and buffalo chicken are the crowd-pullers; French dip and other specials rotate. Hours are daytime only, typically 11am–4pm every day. The Herald and regulars note it can sell out, so arrive early or check Instagram (_homemade.___) before you trek over. Walk-in café / takeaway — no formal booking. Expect homemade soups, bakes and coffee alongside the stacks.

This is a great spot for brunch, but only if it's not super busy. They have a good selection of international sandwiches, mostly deli-style, which are worth the wait. That said, both times I went, it took about 30 minutes to get two sandwiches, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. The beef sandwich wasn't as tender as I'd hoped, but the overall food quality is good. The open kitchen and cozy seating are a nice touch, and the bathrooms are clean. I'd definitely recommend checking it out on a weekday when it's less crowded.

One of my absolute favorite spots to eat in Glasgow! I’ve tried several of their sandwiches and they’re all delicious, but the standout for me is the one with pear—such a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The lime ranch sauce is unreal… if you’ve ever missed real ranch dressing from the US, this will absolutely hit the spot. Their coffee is just as impressive—smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, which just adds to the experience. A must-visit if you’re in Glasgow!

Found this place by accident when looking for somewhere to sit for Sunday coffee and breakfast. The inside looks amazing, and the staff was very friendly. The coffee was spot on. The food was good as well, but unfortunately no vegan options available. However, the staff was very helpful with changing one of the vegetarian sandwiches to remove the dairy. Would love to come back if they would add at least one vegan position to the menu.

Excellent sandwiches in a cool exposed brick cafe. Plenty of seating indoors and out served to you be incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Wide variety of sandwiches that have all been delicious including a French dip that comes with gravy. They also have daily sandwiches focaccia’s that rotate and is what is pictured here. The sandwiches are quite dear but they are massive and well worth the money!

The sandwiches here are always fantastic! Love them. They themselves are a hearty meal & you are full all day. Our steak one wasn’t so great this time, the steak was a bit chewy and hard to eat. I think the chunks were too thick. However, the one with the pear was absolutely unreal!!! But the other times I had the french dip it was great! Difficult to get a seat.
