Outside Maggie’s Cosy Cottage, Baillieston
Maggie’s Cosy Cottage is located in one of the few old building left in Baillieston. A small indeed cosy building with a cafe at one side and a takeaway/bakery at the other side. We had visited the same location in 2009 when it was known as the Cottage Cafe (it now has new owners as well as a new name).

Food Review Food! Maggie’s Cosy Cottage, Baillieston
A big pot of loose leaf tea was delivered. Good tea – not watery.
Breakfast £4.99
Not the best breakfast by any means, scrambled egg which was like a scrambled-poached hybrid, cold beans, undercooked potato scone, cremated sausage, but we were hungry so ate the lot. This also came with mixed toast and a Mrs.Bridges jam and marmalade.
Bacon, pancakes & maple syrup £3.99
Pancakes courtesy of Brownings from Kilmarnock, which were nice with 3 small rashers of bacon (only looks like 2 in the photo) – the bacon wasn’t the greatest but it was passable, and where else save a Wetherspoons pub are you going to find this for £3.99?
Overall, it’s cheap and sorta cheerful. Friendly staff and the shop/deli area had some decent items (mostly from the Browings range) but it’s not somewhere we’ll be rushing back to but then there’s not much choice for sitting-in in the Baillieston area.
