Rose and Grants

Hello and welcome back to Veggie Affair, a blog where I tell you some of my absolute go to places for vegetarian food in Glasgow. This week’s blog is on Rose and Grants a café and delicatessen, who pride themselves in using fresh and local produce. Rose and Grants specialises in great brunch, lunch and cakes, their menu is 60% veggie and vegan, with all the cakes in their cabinet being 100% vegan. The menu is very diverse and has veggie and vegan options which are not readily available anywhere else: like vegan macaroni pies, vegan scotch pies and vegan square sausage!!

I have visited Rose and Grants multiple times and I am never disappointed. My most recent visit was only last week where I ordered the vegan French toast, maple syrup and seitan bacon. It was so good!! They have absolutely perfected this French toast recipe: it is made with a chia seed mix and tastes absolutely delicious; you wouldn’t even know it was vegan.

They offer some great other options like full breakfasts, bagels and sandwiches. Most of which you will not get anywhere else, like a ‘VLT’ and the ‘Ultimate Vegan Special bagel’ which is square sausage, garlic mushrooms, rocket, avocado and sriracha mayo in a bagel (insert heart eyed emoji here). I will attach the menu below so you can read for yourself their great options.

If you are not too full from your breakfast or lunch, they also offer a cabinet of freshly made cakes and traybakes, all of which are 100% vegan. These can be accompanied nicely with a wee flat white (the coffee here is also very good). During my recent visit I went for a peanut butter brownie, it had a regular brownie base and was topped with a layer of crunchy peanut butter, it was incredible! Anything chocolatey and nutty is always a go-to for me but there were a few other choices which make my decision harder, like biscoff cupcakes and a coffee and chocolate cake (YUM). The whole brunch came to just under £25 and that was for my friend and I, we both had French toast, orange juice, and then a cake each, which I think is very reasonable.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend you stop here for a visit, whether that be for some brunch or perhaps just a cup of coffee and a cake, I can promise you that you will not be disappointed. The greatest part is that they will remain open despite the new COVID-19 local restrictions.
