The cafe gets its name from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, where it sources its "world-class" coffee beans.  

Nerissa Bancroft, operations manager for Jamaica Blue UK, said: "Jamaica Blue’s foundations are built on two simple beliefs that guide us in everything we do.

"Firstly, a belief in sourcing the very best coffee, and secondly, only using fresh, premium ingredients to deliver contemporary café dishes with a twist.

"We’re thrilled to be opening at Braehead and excited to share our high-quality coffee and delicious menu with foodies visiting the centre."

Braehead Centre director, Peter Beagley added: "If people want to enjoy the tasty dishes and fabulous coffee made from beans especially sourced for Jamaica Blue, then the only place in Scotland they can do that is in Braehead.

"Shoppers can do a lot more than just shop when they visit Braehead as we offer people a superb variety of cafes, sit-down and takeaway restaurants."
