I got the hoisin duck baked eggs bowl and can tell you it absolutely didn’t disappoint between both the portion size, flavour and texture I will definitely be returning for the same thing. Although totally full, I didn’t skip out on finishing the whole plate it was so delicious. The service was a little slow but not unreasonable considering how many people were in there

Food was delicious and service great. We were served by a tall gentleman with blonde hair and he couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I was shocked to see another review saying that he may have a condition - says a lot about the person who posted. What poor taste. The service provided by this waiter is why we will definitely be back. He went above and beyond. Thank you The only thing I'd say is I didn't enjoy the orange juice, it tasted like it was from a cheap carton. Otherwise everything was great.

Lovely little spot for brunch. The food was presented nicely and was exactly what it said on the menu. I dropped a star simply cause it never really delivered anything WOW, but was still very present and good. The service was very friendly, polite and professional, everything you want and need to enjoy your time at a cafe. The atmosphere was nice, it was pleasant being able to hear my conversation and not have to shout about a noise, however some background music maybe have added to the ambiance. Overall a fantastic little spot in the heart of Glasgow's East end.

Another fantastic meal at Cafe Tibo- I went for the Stornoway eggs Benedict (I think that was it) and it was so delicious I couldn’t eat another thing all day! Service was friendly, genuine and courteous! Can’t wait for return!
