LAGOM

 

If you find yourself on Great Western Road in Glasgow's West End, Lagom bakery and eatery is worth a stop! This Australian-inspired cafe blends right in with the trendy vibe of the area, and it's perfect for anything from a quick coffee to a full-on brunch. I popped in for a late lunch and catch up with my friend Daisy, and we were genuinely spoiled for choice.

The menu offers a mix of sweet and savoury options- ideal if you are in the mood for anything from a slice of cake or a filling meal. Everything is freshly made in-house, which you can really taste! I did wish the menu had photos though as some of the menu items are so unique that a picture would help, just so you have an idea of what you are ordering. Still, neither of us were disappointed with our orders.

We started off with some iced lattes: a caramel one for myself and a hazelnut one for Daisy. We both really enjoyed these, they were very refreshing! For food, I went with one of their croissant rolls, stuffed with pork sausage, egg, American style cheese, a potato scone and a bit of ketchup, it was deliciously indulgent! Daisy opted for their toasted focaccia with sobrasada, manchego, roast peppers, chorizo, smoked paprika and a fried egg (see what I mean about a picture being helpful!!) Unfortunately they were out of focaccia by then (it was 4pm!), so hers came in a croissant, which she said still tasted unreal.

Though I didn't have room for dessert, the cakes on display looked phenomenal! Being reasonably priced for the quality, Lagom is not one to be missed!! Lagom's name, meaning "just the right amount" in Swedish, couldn't be more fitting, 10/10 food spot, being just the perfect place for a bite to eat, with the wonderful vibe to match!
