A regular spot for dining al fresco - the pleasures of dog ownership as they are; the staff are (generally) welcoming and supportive though some demonstrate a little more enthusiasm than others. Good coffee + excellence in home-produced potato salad are absolute standouts and the tray bakes + cakes are very good. Great sandwiches with Roast chicken in need of a special mention - just ? One even gets to imagine that you could really beat the hardy souls braving the wind + rain + storm on the neighbouring Tennis courts; just order another coffee n’ cake ?

A lovely wee hidden gem within the beautiful Newlands Park. Nice coffee and a wide selection of cakes.

We were looking for a quiet spot for breakfast, but nothing too fancy. Saw this on TripAdvisor and thought we would give it a try. Located in a small play park so lots of small children and dogs around outside so we are inside. The coffee was great. I didn't fancy a set meal so picked items off the extras section to create my own breakfast and my partner went for a breakfast roll. It was all cooked fresh and i suspect most of the items were made on the premises as the quality was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The food was very good, the staff were friendly and helpful, and I loved that the sheltered patio is dog friendly.

Always a great selection of homemade cakes. Scrumptious ciabatta with delicious sausages. Yum! Our dog adores the special doggy muffins too ?

This is the best cafe in the area, the selection of food and cakes are fantastic and the music was fab. Definitely a must you won’t be disappointed.

I went here on Easter Monday following a trip to nearby Pollock Park - having dragged the kids to the park for a walk they were becoming hungry and restless. I promised lunch and intended to get food at Pollock Park - but due to the time of day and the crowds there was nothing left for my picky teens (2 daughters and niece). So I decided to head to The Dandelion Cafe having been a few times before. It didn’t disappoint. It was really busy but as we were sitting outside anyway because we had the dug- we ordered at the outdoor ordering station (great idea by the way!). We were served by a very cheery and efficient woman - didn’t get her name but she sounded like she hailed from across the pond! Food appeared in jig time and the surly hangry teens became almost chirpy and talkative! I’m sure I saw at least two of them smiling through their mouthfuls of delicious food. We ordered a roll with scrambled egg, a roll with bacon, a cheese and ham roll and a ciabatta with chicken bacon and tomato plus drinks. All reasonably priced too. Great ending to a lovely day! Definitely recommend for service, variety of food choices (even late in the afternoon on a busy Bank Holiday) delicious hot and yummy food and value for money!

Brilliant as always. Homemade savouries and sweets/cakes! A lot of temptations here ....but who am I to resist all the goodies! Yesterday was no different... warm welcome by friendly staff. Good vibes , great coffee -and although always busy always great service. Lovely setting in the park and outdoor seating too for when the sun shines ☺️

Best wee local cafe. The food is tremendous especially the homemade soup & delicious cakes. The empire biscuits and lotus bars are out of this world. My favourite thing is the staff. They are so welcoming and friendly. They do take away coffees and treats so you can enjoy a walk round the park. The cafe also cater for dogs in a small area and have doggy muffins & doggy ice-cream for them to enjoy.
Fantastic wee hidden gem in the lovely surroundings of Newlands Park. The cakes are delicious and all freshly made. I live in England so can only go when I come to Glasgow to visit family. Hopefully next time I'll come for lunch aswell. Very highly recommended.

This is a great spot for brunch .. and cakes!! Have been several times and the service and standard of food never fails. Also been to a vinyl night - the evening meal served would have given a Michelin star restaurant a run for its money - and the music was great too!! Thoroughly recommend it any time if day.

A real hidden gem in a beautiful setting with excellent service, and dog friendly! We visited the cafe for the first time on a busy day, but despite this, staff were attentive and the food was excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
