About the Place

Sugarfall launched last Saturday as the newest dessert and coffee shop on Byres Road. This cute little cafe serves up a range of coffees, cold drinks, home-made cakes, and sandwiches. 

The interior is lovely and modern, nice and bright inside, with 4 two-seat tables and stools looking out onto the street.

The Menu

I can fully understand that a small cafe can't support a large menu, but that doesn't really make up for the complete lack of options at Sugarfall. We visited the place at 12.30pm on a Saturday, peak lunch time. Typically, similar cafes would try to have as much stock out as possible at this time in preparation for the lunch rush, but there were only two sandwiches available. I know the place brands itself as a dessert cafe, but seriously?

Moving on to the desserts - there were around 10 different types of cake and 2 types of yogurt pots. Once again, pretty average variety for a place that advertises as a dessert joint. I went for the dark chocolate cheesecake. Although the variety isn't that great, the quality of the cakes are. I'm an avid cheesecake lover, and that cheesecake was pretty great. 

The flat white was good also, but it wasn't what I originally wanted. On the wall in big writing are all the types of hot drinks the place offers. It included the most common types of coffees and hot chocolate, so I figured I could ask for a mocha even though that wasn't an option on the wall. Nope. What kind of coffee shop can't make you a mocha? It's literally coffee with some chocolate in it. Maybe I'm being bitter but I really wanted a mocha. Anyway, the flat white was good enough.

The Cost

I don't really have much to say about the cost. It was bang average for that sort of place, and exactly what you'd expect from a cafe on Byres Road.

My official rating of Sugarfall...

★★☆☆☆


I'd maybe recommend Sugarfall for Glasgow uni students. The place is ideal if you want a quiet place to study and have a coffee. Besides that, I won't insist that you go there. It's alright, but I guarantee there's somewhere similar but better and with more options in that area.

Top tip when visiting: I can't even think of one. I don't really care enough to try. Maybe I'm being harsh on the place, but what can I say? I really wanted that mocha. 


Thanks for reading!

A Fun New Night Out at Glasgow's Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf

Welcome to another blog post! This time to talk about Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf - Glasgow's newest miniature golf course located on Bath Street in the city centre.  About the Place Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf opened earlier in June this year with 1 18-hole golf course themed 'Island Paradise' and 2 bars. Later on in August the establishment opened a 2nd 18-hole black lit course downstairs with the theme 'Indian Ocean'.  Before you start your game, you can stop off at the bar where there is a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, slushies, coffee, and there's even a jungle/island/paradise themed cocktail menu. And best of all, you can take the drinks round the course with you! Because nothing beats a game of tipsy mini golf.  The Experience Like any miniature golf course, Jungle Rumble was good fun. The design was impressive with huge black lit animals all over the course and the m...

Have you heard the RUMOR around Glasgow?

Hi and welcome to my blog! Let me begin with my recent experience at Glasgow's newest club RUMOR, located at Royal Exchange Square.  My first thought of RUMOR was about the stunning interior design. Flowers everywhere, pastel colours covering the entire room, neon signs hanging on the wall and suede chairs circling the bar.  The people behind RUMOR clearly channelled their girly side when they designed the place, and I love it.  Plus, 2 swings hanging by the entrance infront of the neon signs, AKA the perfect photo opp. How could I not? The Bar As well as the interior design, the music was great too - classic pop songs that you could listen to all night. The best part about the bar was definitely the drink selection - the cocktails!! There's not much else that needs to be said here because who doesn't love a cocktail? Porn star martinis, mojitos, margaritas, you name it! BUT, the drinks do cost a pretty penny. £7.50 ...
