Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

The bright green pistachio-studded loaf with its crunchy lemon glaze is moist and delicious reflecting the unique baking skills of Lauren, one of the two sisters owning and managing this delightful Battlefield café, which knows its strengths and plays to them. Breakfasts are simple and well priced including delicious croissants, bacon ciabatta and impeccable coffee. Lunch is a freshly prepared soup and an overflowing sandwich or select a tantalizingly moreish gourmet sandwich such as Brown Sugar Pickled – emmental, gherkins, Dijon mustard and salad leaves between two slices of brown malty bloomer from the Kirkintilloch-based Bavarian Bakehouse. Lois the other half of the sisterly duo has negotiated an outside dining licence, ideal for the sunny cul-de-sac setting and will provide much needed additional seating. If there was a café like this round every corner, how much happier we would all be.

Brown sugar is a wonderful wee cafe.. You can try my gluten free baking here - I've been supplying Brown Sugar for about a month and so far everything is selling out. The girls want wheat free/ gluten free folk to be welcome here and being coeliac myself I offered to provide some of my delicious home baked gluten free cakes... there aren't many places providing this service especially on the Southside. Give it a try... gorgeous coffee and delicious food all round.

This is a little gem and long awaited in the Southside of Glasgow!! Best coffee I have tasted in a long time and the homemade buttered scones are to die for! The lunch menu has plenty to choose from and there is a nice seating area or you can take away. The girls are very friendly and work with a smile on their face which is always nice to see! I will now make this my meeting place in the Southside and look forward to trying the various choices of delicious lunches. Ps great prices also!

Brown Sugar is an absolute gem. It’s a quirky independent coffee shop offering something a bit different from the other (mostly chain) places in the area. The service is friendly, sandwiches are freshly made and the coffee is the best I’ve had in the South Side. Prices are very reasonable. It’s next to the upholsterers shop on Battlefield Road - give it a go if you’re in the Battlefield/Langside area!
