YESTERDAY licensed pubs, restaurants and cafes were all told to close their doors yet again, as Nicola Sturgeon announced new coronavirus restrictions.
Premises serving alcohol in the Central Belt have all been told to bring down their shutters at 6pm on Friday, while non-licensed cafes will be allowed to remain open.
Here is a list of some of the best breakfast, lunch and brunch spots in Glasgow which will remain open over the next two weeks.
Langside Cafe
Langside Place, Langside
This iconic cafe has just celebrated its 100th birthday and it isn't hard to see why Langside Cafe has stuck around for so long.
From ice cream to cakes and pastries, and an old-school sweet shop selection, the cafe has been one of South Siders' favourite places for the past century. The homemade soup comes highly recommended by regulars!
Naked Soup
Kersland Street, Hillhead
This West End cafe also comes highly recommended for their delicious soups and can even count Glasgow comedian and streamer Limmy among their fans.
Customers can stock up on bagels and artisan coffee too to top off their lunch!
Gordon Street Coffee
Gordon Street, City Centre
Although Nicola Sturgeon has urged people to stay away from public transport where possible, this coffee shop will give you a reason to visit the station regardless.
Gordon Street Coffee has made Glasgow Central its home since 2014 and creates specialist coffee roasts in the shop. Be sure to check out the 'Glasgow Roast' for a real taste of home.
Scran
Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun
Recently named the 8th coolest neighbourhood in the world by TimeOut, it isn't hard to see the appeal with cafes like Scran in the heart of Dennistoun.
The cafe creates not only delicious but Instgramable snacks, with the homemade sausage rolls top of the order for many.
Scran also offers sourdough toasties, filled rolls and 'Nonna's Mac' - a truffle macaroni cheese topped with sausage, sugo and onions.
Brooklyn Cafe
Minard Road, Crossmyloof
The Brooklyn Cafe is a local favourite and even has a 'breakfast challenge' for those brave enough to attempt the mammoth feat.
Customers can indulge in ice cream sundaes as well as toasties and baked potatoes in the heart of Glasgow's South Side.
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea
Otago Lane, Kelvinbridge
This choice is for the tea-lovers among us, and nowhere can you get a more complete tea experience than this gorgeous cafe.
The Tchai-Ovna houses more than 80 varieties of loose-leave tea such as oolong, black and green and a selection of vegetarian snacks to top off your lunch.
The Otago Lane shop has also just been certified as 'Covid-safe' by inspectors.
Singl-End
Renfrew Street, Garnethill & John Street, Merchant City
While this popular city-centre cafe is normally licensed, Singl-end has announced plans to give up their alcohol license to continue trading in the next couple of weeks.
A favourite of Glaswegians, Singl-end is famed for their brunch menu and bakery treats and can be found at either side of the town.
Primal Roast
St Vincent Street, City Centre
This basement-cafe would be classed as a 'hidden gem' by many, with the cosy decor and wide range of drinks and snack on offer.
Primal Roast offers a 'clean-eating' alternative to normal cafe treats, with items such as buddha bowls, soups, salads and homemade healthy bakery items.
Soup's On and The Cake Lady
Clarkston Road, Cathcart
This is a homely and cosy cafe in Cathcart brimming with warming soups and friendly chat.
As the autumn and winter weather draws in, a bowl of homemade soup from Soup's On and The Cake Lady is just what is needed.
The Steamie Coffee Roasters
Argyle Street, Finnieston
This Finnieston cafe serves speciality coffee roasts and brunch rolls, as well a range of vegan and vegetarian options on their menu.
They have even seen chart-topping superstar Lewis Capaldi come through their doors.
Akara Bakery
Duke Street, Dennistoun
Akara Bakery is a favourite among those in the East End and it's not hard to see why.
The bakery offers homemade cakes and pastries, as well as a selection of coffee, tea and iced coffees.
Akara also has a 'Wipeout Wednesday' every week, which showcases different types of cakes and biscuits.
