Found on the Great Western Road, Urban West is a warm and vibrant independent cafe serving a range of breakfast, lunch and brunch plates. Whether it’s a quick coffee or a leisurely mid-morning breakfast with friends, it’s a favourite in the heart of Glasgow. It almost goes without saying, but the menu items at Urban West are so picture-worthy, that it’s almost a crime not to post them on Instagram.
Urban West is a lively yet relaxed destination, good for impromptu lunch dates and great for weekend catch-ups. The interiors are bright, with white tiled walls, pops of colour, light wood furniture, and climbing plants all contributing to a cheerful atmosphere. There’s also outside seating, for when you want your eggs extra sunny.
Available every day of the week, brunch at Urban West caters to all. Whether you’re taking out a sweet fanatic for extra fluffy American-style pancakes and waffles laden with Nutella and cream, or a die-hard bagel connoisseur searching for a fig and goat cheese fix. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more classic start to your day, you’ll find a full Scottish with local bacon and Stornoway black pudding, along with classic eggs benedict and eggs royale.
Not that there’s ever a cut-off point for brunch items, but the menu at Urban West also includes a diverse selection of lunch items. Keep an eye out for the signature Urban Club ciabatta stuffed with chicken, smoked applewood bacon and chipotle mayo. Other options range from steak and egg with vine tomatoes and bearnaise sauce to sweetcorn fritters served with crispy onion, chimichurri and spinach salad.
Most of the baked goods are homemade, and you’ll also find a range of artisanal coffees and teas so you can get a quality hazelnut cappuccino, latte art included.
