Patrons have now been given a sneak peek of what is on offer at the new location including sourdough, pretzels, bagels and supersized cakes as well as its 2024 Christmas range.

Celebrities such as Noel Gallagher and the Foo Fighters have enjoyed their artisan rolls and pastries, with the Oasis frontman once calling their sourdough rolls the best he’d ever tasted during the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards at Kelvingrove.

The iconic bakery supplies many of Scotland’s most popular venues, including Brel, Billingtons and Roots and Fruits, and is known for its high-quality, handmade sourdough, pretzels, cakes, and pastries.

It uses a sourdough starter as old as the business itself.

The new shop will feature these well-loved staples and act as a testing ground for new products.

It will also serve coffee sourced from Thomsons Coffee, Glasgow’s oldest roaster.

Music lovers are also being offered a special deal to celebrate the opening coinciding with global super star Charli XCX’s Glasgow gig on Monday.

Concertgoers can receive a free coffee and cake this weekend - all they need to do is show their ticket.

Fans can also enjoy a limited-edition version of their famous pineapple tart – the Pineapple BRAT – or simply a slice of homemade BROT.

Owner Kathleen McShane, who lives near the bakery, said: “We’re very excited to be opening in the midst of the winter weather, offering warming drinks and delicious baked goods to help keep the cold weather at bay.

“I’m told we ought to be calling it Brinter or Brat Winter, but perhaps we should say it’s a Brot Winter, borrowing from the German word for bread. Either way, it’s the season to indulge – and we’re ready to serve.

“We’re huge fans of Charli XCX here in the bakery and had Brat on all summer, so to celebrate her upcoming Sweat Tour, we’ve got a treat for all the brats attending her concert.”
