Singl-end Merchant City is a Glasgow cafe at 15 John Street, one of two venues operated by The Singl-end. The business has been serving brunch since 2015 and presents this central location as an easygoing place for breakfast, coffee and a leisurely daytime meal. Bookings are available while walk in customers are also welcomed.
Hearty, home cooked breakfast and brunch form the centre of the menu, with eggs, toast based dishes and fuller plates offering a range of appetites. The kitchen makes its food in house and gives vegetarian choices genuine attention rather than treating them as an afterthought. Guests with allergies should check the current menu and speak with staff before ordering.
Cakes are a defining feature, displayed together so visitors can choose a sweet finish or build a shorter coffee stop around the bakehouse selection. Celebration cakes can also be preordered through the wider Singl-end bakehouse operation. Coffee, tea, juices and other daytime drinks round out the cafe format.
The Merchant City venue is fully accessible and welcomes wheelchairs, prams and dogs. Those practical details help it serve families, friends and solo diners throughout the day. Singl-end Merchant City combines the generosity of a neighbourhood brunch cafe with the convenience and bustle of a central Glasgow address.
Address: 15 John Street, Glasgow G1 1HP, United Kingdom
