BAM Glasgow — Restaurant in Great Britain

The good things about Bam:

The coffee is exceptional, I wouldn’t hesitate to say the best in Glasgow. I love that they rotate a number of different roasters, all of which are divine. Jen also makes incredible hot chocolates, perfect accompaniment to a wander round Queen’s Park

They have a fantastic selection of cards and gifts, always supporting independent and often local artists. Ceramics, dried flowers, jewellery, things for kids - it’s not an exaggeration to say there’s something for everyone

The staff are friendly and fun - I came for the coffee, became a regular for the chat. I love love love when asked if I’m in for ‘the usual’, it’s like the oat flat white equivalent of the Cheers theme tune

The cakes are glorious - from staples like brownies and salt, chilli & chocolate cookies to treats like Kitty’s donuts on a Thursday (dreamy) and Bakewells from Maple Leaf (oh my giddy aunt 😍). Again, local and independently owned, and the sweeter for it

The vintage selection has made me a convert. Forget your misgivings about second hand, this is a perfectly curated selection which changes with the seasons

Plus, free parking outside

Very...

BAM is a hidden gem that deserves not to be so hidden.

Coffee and pastries are amazing, often have seasonal variations which are different to other places in their offering and fab for vegan choices. Hot chocolate is excellent, really creamy and flavourful.

Jen the owner puts so much care and thought into everything she offers. The vintage is carefully curated and presents I have bought from the shop have always been so well received.

I have recommended this place to so many people in person I thought it was time to do an actual review. Such a happy, quirky vibe and the hot drinks Jen serves radiate the sunshine in a cup feel!

Perfectly located too a few doors from Merry Go Round for parents wanting to go for a walk in the park before or after popping in.

Keep on doing what...

Bam is my family favourite! It’s always our first stop for every gift giving occasion. The card selection is possibly the best in the Southside, the service is always flawless, welcoming and accommodating. You can really tell that a lot of love and consideration goes in to curating the shop with perfect prints and gifts for all budgets, cards and wrapping paper, vintage clothes and fantastic coffee. And now that I’ve found out you can have a mix of dark and white hot chocolate, I’ll be there most weeks! Bam really is a GEM of...
