Broken Clock Cafe & Patisserie

Excellent small patisserie/ cafe on Park Rd just off Gt Western Rd.near Kelvinbridge. Emphasis is on small, around 10 tables with a cosy atmosphere , Friendly staff and really good service. A lovely Cinnamon bun and a Flat white coffee cost around £6.50. No blaring music, so great for peace and quiet, if you are either alone or with company.

I’ve been coming here for almost a year now and finally decided to review this place. My standard order is a croissant to go. The atmosphere is generally welcoming and it’s a nice place to sit down, have a coffee, sit with a book or chat with a friend. The croissants I would rate a 6/10. And an 7,5/10 when heated up. (Unfortunately broken clock doesn’t have that option). They are decent size, crispy on the outside, however excessively buttery to the point where your fingers get greasy when eating one, and the croissant just feels heavy. (Physically too, it’s got some weight to it). The greasiness is less noticeable and unpleasant when the croissant is heated up in the oven. The inside become softer too. Overall people seem to be enjoying competing here, and they have a wide range of beautiful pastries, but I’m not fond of their croissant.

Out for a wander and came across this wee cafe, so glad we stopped! Had a cola and iced coffee and treated ourselves to a slice of cake - I had the hazelnut slice and my friend had the roulade. Both absolutely delicious! I thought the roulade might look a little too much, but it was so soft and fluffy - didn't sit heavy and was really enjoyable as it was full of fruit inside! Yum! Also, dog friendly! Big win!

Lovely place ! All the pastries looked so good it was tough choosing only 1… lovely coffee aswell! Overall great place to get coffee and pick up a lil sweet treat. Prices are reasonable too, defintely recommend! Treat yourself ! 🕺🏽🫶🏽 We had the white chocolate and pistachio croissant, and the cardamom bun, both were amazing !

I had a very great time twice in this bakery. As a french exchange student, I was looking for great pastries, and these ones completely filled that need : the drinks were extraordinary and the pastries - even if they were quite expensive - were exquisite so completely worth the price ! Do not hesitate to allow yourself such sweetness once a month ! 😊

Serenity Now closes at 4, but the kitchen closes when it fancies (ironic)...326pm and hungry, we land here where we find sandwiches and Danish that have been here since the baker knocked off, probs around 8 hours ago. Low expectations drift floorward as the "idiosyncratic" barista serves us, and his amiable colleague informed there will be no heating of these selections in any administration they lead. The experience uplifts like a gale-ic (not Gaelic...thank you, don't miss the late set) expectations skyward. The foccacia is good, really good, as are the fillings..tangy pesto and soft and chewy and moist as it should be. The Danish, like the focaccia would have been mind blowing in the morning, but retain enough veritas to qualify for the mile high price points. The coffee and teas are quality all the way. Thanks Serenity Now...we enjoyed this place in peace.
