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).

Inside it was warm and tables filled every possible space,  it was busy too and seemed to be popular with locals.

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 2 small rashers of bacon (only looks like 1 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.
