Glasgow’s Southside is home to some of the best cafes and restaurants anywhere in the city, which is why people chose to spend their weekends out and about in neighbourhoods such as Shawlands, Strathbungo and Battlefield.
These neighbourhoods have a thriving coffee scene, meaning you are spoilt for choice whenever you are in need of a cappuccino, flat white or latte at the weekend.
