    The food was very good, the staff were friendly and helpful, and I loved that the sheltered patio is dog friendly.

    The food is delicious, hence why I have given 3 stars however, it is overpriced for what it is. £20 for 1 takeaway roll, 1 takeaway ciabbata with halloumi, 2 cakes and a coffee. All 3 times I've been here the service has been slow (both sitting in and takeaway). First time I was there they gave us a free coffee because they took so long to serve us. However, ironically they charged us for the dog muffins but never gave us them (which probably counteracted the free coffee given). I'd go back as it a local business I want to support located in a lovely park, although overall I find the service a bit slow and all over the place and it not the cheapest place to buy food for what you get.

    Excellent little cafe/coffee shop sited inside the park. Excellent ice cream stop for kids. Great coffee and cakes for mums& dads etc. Also looks very popular with dog walking community of which there was many today. Staff really friendly and helpful.

    Gorgeous cafe that I use with the children and dog as we are able to sit outdoors under th canopy with the dog. Coffee is great and kids love the ice cream Update Feb 2020 I cannot get enough of this cafe. The atmosphere, cakes and staff are fantastic. The staff are so welcoming and it really is such a family friendly cafe.

    Shared a very good sausage roll and a fruit scone with my other half. Can't fault the quality and nice to sit outside with the dogs.

    Perhaps my favourite café in Glasgow. Adorable little place within the surroundings of Newlands Park. The specials are always imaginative and delicious while the baked croissant with scrambled eggs is the best in town - and the Empire biscuits are similarly without equal. Friendly and delightful staff, too.

    Really disappointed by the service yesterday when I arrived with my two grandchildren to meet two of their friends from Liverpool to exchange Christmas presents. It was almost closing time and a rude member of staff blocked our entrance and said we couldn't come in. When I explained and I asked if I could check to see if our friends were there I was reluctantly allowed in. The children were excited to see each other but the staff attitude was very uncomfortable and the children exchanged presents in the street. A complete stranger came up to us and said the way we were treated was disgraceful. I should add that my previous experience has always been very positive which is why I recommended it to my friends in the first place.

    Refurbished from a no longer used tennis pavilion, the cafe owners had to persuade the council to lease the property. Now a thriving cafe which has brought jobs, great food and drink to the park and preserved a historic building. Clientele is varied although squeezed a little more to mums, children and grannies. Clean and accessible toilets, 10 tables inside, 3 outside under cover. Muzak, but at very low level. Really free WiFi (no sign up) but slower than most mobile 3G. A selection of home made savoury lunches and snacks accompanied by a great selection of cakes and tray bakes to go with well made locally roasted coffee. Staff extremely friendly, helpful and service is prompt without being pushy. Quality of food and beverages is very good and caters for a varieties of dietary requirements. Recommend for a lazy afternoon break or to grab a take away coffee and cake from the outside take away counter to eat in the park.

    Place was heaving at lunchtime but we got in after a few minutes. Roll with bacon and black pudding plus croissant with cheese and ham were just the ticket after a walk in Cathkin Braes Country Park. Guy at the counter said it was always busy. Not surprised. We'll be back!

    Great cafe, lovely food and staff in a nice setting. Very nice atmosphere, a little on the expensive side however you definitely get what you pay for.

    Wonderful location away from the hustle and bustle of main road cafes. Exelent food... oh did I mention the 'cheese' soups... friendly and efficient staff.

    Lovely food and friendly staff. It's a really nice cafe for brunch. There is take away and sit in. The coffee is really good too.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
