Glasgow - Cottonrake Bakery

If anyone says to you "do you fancy a cheese and ham sarnie?" in Glasgow, make sure you reply "I'd rather have Gruyère cheese and Ayrshire ham with Dijon mustard and bread from Cottonrake Bakery please"!  This lovely bakery and café is on the Great Western Road:

just opposite my last post - Iain Mellis.

Just looking through the window

(and using your nose) you know the bread is going to be good.  

There's pain de campagne:

and organic loaves, including these seeded boules:

There's also nice cakes:

(some with a French influence, like these financiers) polenta cake and chocolate brownies (which are also available in a gluten free version).  I was going to ask if they could remove the glass, before I took a photo of these chocolate tarts:

 and these fruit tarts:

but they were selling that quickly, they'd have all gone by the time they'd done it!
