Pudding Lane Cafe

Stopped in past here for a rest whilst out on a stroll. I’m not that familiar with the area, and we walked up and down the road a couple of times before spotting this and plumping for it. It’s blink and you’d miss it from the outside but once inside you’ll see its little gem of a café.
The décor is a mish mash between retro London (hence pudding lane) and Glasgow of old. A few fairy lights too which I can’t get enough of!
It probably has a capacity for about 20 people (at a squeeze). It was very quiet at about 4pm on Saturday and so the lovely server told us to sit at one of the larger tables so that we could spread out a bit. All the teas are loose leaf and served up in teapots wearing cool wee balaclavas. The teacups and milk jugs are pretty too.
We decided to share a rocky road and it was rich, chewy and very calorific just as you want it to be. There was also a good selection of other cakes, although just the last bits and bobs after what had obviously been a busy day.
If I were southside again at lunchtime, I would defo be keen to come back to check out the food here. I liked the fact that there was 2 pie specials on the board (v and meat). The soup of the day was carrot&butterbean. There were also deli sandwiches served on speciality breads such as sourdough and various savoury puddings are listed on the breakfast menu.

This is a tiny wee café on Pollokshaws Road. There is one big table and 4 wee ones and it’s lovely. Clean and fresh without being sterile, beautifully upholstered and spotlessly clean cushions, cool artwork and an amazing plush stags head in the bathroom.
The staff were welcoming and happy to give us plenty of time to settle and 8 year old and an 18 month baby — so incredibly patient! They have a great selection of drinks, appletize for the 8 year old, milk for the 18 monther, a huge choice of teas for the incredibly indecisive pregnant lady and perfectly strong coffee for me, the caffeine fiend.
We ordered a bacon buttie, a mushroom and gruyère ciabatta and a chicken and bacon club sandwich. They weren’t at the table too quickly — a good thing this was all freshly prepared and it showed in the 3 clean plates which took considerably less time to execute. The ciabatta and club sandwich were served with a dressed leaf salad and what I would guess to be homemade coleslaw — yum.
After generously portioned sandwiches we didn’t need cake, we really didn’t need cake. We ordered rocky road and mocha brownie and shared them out. I’m so glad we were greedy these were spectacularly good and gloriously homemade traybakes.
I liked Pudding Lane a lot and can’t wait to go back.
