Copper Pot

If they were ever going to recreate the Central Perk coffee shop for a low-​budget Cessnock version, I feel like the Copper Pot would be the ideal venue in which to do so.
«Pals» would be set in what is actually quite a cosily comforting scene — reminiscent of 80s coffee shops with their wee open booths, brown formica, plastic sauce bottles and those wee vinegar decanters your gran used to have.
The staff are friendly, efficient and what you’d call «characters». There is an ever-​rotating cast of taxi drivers, local shop owners and just regular Joes popping in for their rolls in bacon, lattes (always pronounced with no Ts audible) to go and their soup.
I actually really love popping in here now and again, as there is always a funny story to overhear and their food is cooked to order and tasty. A roll in bacon is always a good shout, never been disappointed.
Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area and looking for no-​frills eats.

This isn’t the best breakfast you will get, it’s not the cheapest one you can find either, it’s not the best décor or most comfortable place in Glasgow
You know what tho … I Iove it, it’s full of character in not only the fixtures and fittings but with the colourful people who work and eat here
Friendly service with a smile, sit and eat your breakfast and listen to the colourful stories from the lives of the real Glasgow people
I would recommend the breakfast, only criticism is the potato scone is always a bit greasy
Don’t eat the lasagne, tastes like a microwave meal

Copper Pot is a nice local spot, a bit like University Café but a southside version. Photos of folk who go to the café are on the walls and there’s comfy seats. A nice «caff». Does breakfasts and rolls, toasties and cooked specials, soup and loads of soft drinks (they have Irn Bru and Bundaberg too) and a happy friendly welcome
