Bay Tree

Glasgow


There are many good cafes along this section of Great Western Road, but the Bay Tree is still a solid choice. It has lots of vegan and vegetarian options, smiling staff, filling mains (mostly Middle Eastern and Greek), generous salads and a good range of hot drinks. It's famous for its all-day breakfasts.
