Overview
The Hyndland Cafe is a compact, family-run neighbourhood cafe at 96 Clarence Drive in Glasgow's West End. Stewart and Kim Bisley have run it since 2013 (after Stewart's Royal Navy career), with home baking from Nana Bisley and long-serving staff. Expect all-day breakfasts, coffee, milkshakes, ice cream and cakes in a small sit-in space with pavement tables outside. Sit-in and collection run seven days until 4pm (kitchen last orders around 3.30pm); delivery is listed daily 8am–3.30pm via the cafe's own site plus the usual apps. Reviewers repeatedly praise full Scottish breakfasts, morning rolls, eggs Benedict, Empire biscuits and friendly service; vegetarian breakfast options are on the menu. Afternoon tea is also offered. Typical spend for two cooked breakfasts with drinks is around £30–35, in line with Google's inexpensive price level. Yelp's business listing and local directories also describe a European/Mediterranean tapas menu Tuesday–Saturday from 4pm (last orders 9pm) with BYOB wine or beer — confirm current evening hours if you are going for dinner.

In Glasgow for a week and have visited the cafe several times. So many delicious things on the menu at very reasonable prices that it’s hard to choose. Staff are super friendly and helpful too. Love the terrace out front - great spot to spend a sunny afternoon. Can’t wait to try more things on my next trip. Highly recommended.

Lovely breakfast, outdoor seating (on the pavement next to the road) a little expensive but you can tell the ingredients are top notch as it was all delicious. We were £35 for 2 full breakfasts, tea, mocha and 1 juice.

Your classic neighbourhood cafe. Food was generously proportioned and of good quality at a reasonable price. Seating is a bit compact but there are 4 tables inside and loads out front for that week of summer that we get. Offers delivery and click and collect online which is a bonus. A safe bet.
