Cute little cafe with extremely attentive and friendly staff. We came for lunch and had a great time. Got the shakshouka which was delicious and very fresh and the tagine which looked amazing. The crockery is very unique and cute. Very reasonably priced. Looked to be a nice selection of cakes too. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Overview
Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse (also known as Tapa Organic) is a cafe and bakery on Whitehill Street in Dennistoun. It bakes its own bread overnight and roasts its own coffee by hand in small batches. Tapa says it is the only Soil Association certified organic bakery in Glasgow, and the Soil Association is quoted on its site confirming this. The site has been a bakery for more than 80 years. The cafe serves vegetarian food, with vegan options and vegan cakes, and Tapa also sells a vegan afternoon tea. Reviewers mention a friendly neighbourhood feel with regulars, fair prices, and pastries such as the cinnamon buns. This is Tapa's only shop. The business says any other cafe called Tapa has no connection to it. You can order bread online and collect it from the shop, and coffee beans can be delivered anywhere in the UK.
Reviews
I absolutely love Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse. It’s my absolute go-to place and I always go with my mum when she comes to Glasgow. Faruq, is absolutely delightful (happy birthday by the way!! Same birthday as my mum) and it’s always a very lovely, positive community atmosphere. The food is also well-priced and absolutely delicious with creative vegetarian and vegan recipes and old classics. The pastries are overwhelmingly good - especially the cinnamon buns. Even thinking of them, I’m getting hungry! Keep up the great work!
Read on Google MapsCute delicious sweet treats, amazing portion sizes, lovely sweet staff, and great environment. Would recommend!
Read on Google MapsSo glad to have randomly found this little gem! Small menu compared to some other cafes but they all sounded amazing. I had the vegan french toast which I've not seen offered anywhere else and the portion sizes are great. The coffee too was lovely and I'd happily be back even for a take away coffee and one of the amazing vegan cakes!
Read on Google MapsPaid almost £16 for two savoury pastries and one sweet tart, and unfortunately everything was disappointing. The pastries were dry and tasted old, the filling was literally crumbling out of the pocket. The pistachio tart didn’t taste like pistachios at all and was far too sweet for my taste. The service was really lovely though, and I might give it another chance to try the hot food but it won’t be any time soon.
