The University Cafe

The University Cafe is – no surprise – something of a student favourite. And it’s not just current students who flock to the Byres Road cafe either: many of its regulars are city professionals who picked up the habit in their student days and have been returning ever since. It would be fair to say it’s not just the prices that lure the cafe’s loyal patrons back time and time again: The University Cafe has a certain something about it, a vibe you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the West End. While the rest of the city seems intent on reinventing itself, The University Cafe has remained resolutely unchanged. When you’ve got a good thing going on, why mess with a winning formula? That formula includes a staggering array of tempting treats; if you don’t have a sweet tooth upon walking in, you almost certainly will by the time you depart. Pick of the bunch is the homemade ice cream, a scrumptious treat whose diehards will willingly cross the city to sample. It’s not an everyday thing, but for those occasions when you need a little something to pick you up and reattach a smile to your face, the cafe’s rich, creamy ice cream is just the ticket. The food, which falls firmly into the comfort category, is served with no airs and graces: this is hearty, stomach-warming fare, be it a full fry-up or a poke of proper chippy chips. On sunny days the outdoor tables fill up fast, while on weekends the student population are joined by West End families, frequenting a favourite haunt where everyone, young and old, is catered for. With almost 100 years of business to its name, no one would bet against The University Cafe still being here a century from now.
