Introducing the inviting Cottonrake Cafe, the twin sibling of the renowned Cottonrake's bakery, located just off Byres Road in Glasgow.

Beverages, Baking and Food

Above is the basic menu..... however, the breakfast and lunch options are ever changing, offering a dynamic array of beautifully crafted meals.

The pride cottonrake takes in its in-house bakery is very evident, where they locally prepare one of the most extensive selections of pastries and home-baked goods I have ever seen ! With a wide range of choices spanning from sweet delights to savoury indulgences, you're sure to find a satisfying treat to suit your cravings. all coffees come with a decaffeinated option for those wishing to avoid the buzz of caffeine or working later in the afternoon.

Ambiance and Setting 

Step inside, and you'll find a charming rustic aesthetic. The warm, earthy tones  create an inviting and cozy atmosphere. The cafe is well lit in natural light, making it a perfect haven for those seeking a bright, cheerful workspace. It's worth noting that this is no hushed library. The cafe is often buzzing with conversation, laughter. For those who thrive in a bustling environment, it's an ideal place to get work done. However, if you prefer a quieter setting, arriving early is your best bet to secure a peaceful spot.

Ethics  

 This cafe bakes all their goods on-site. They source their coffee beans locally from Dear Green Roasters similar to Pasteis Lisboa, an ethical origin provider (learn more here: https://www.deargreencoffee.com/pages/the-coffee). While there's no discount for using your own cup for takeaways, they do offer a loyalty card – after 10 coffees, the next one is free, rewarding your commitment to both great coffee and responsible choices.
