Nice snacks at the Park Lane Market - Edit
Their cafe has closed but Soy Division still does some pop-up events and sells their food regularly at the Park Lane Market. They have Scottish stuff like sausage rolls and pies, which are all tasty and great value for money. Lovely owner, too. Definitely recommended!

Lovely staff, disappointing food - Edit
We had high expectations because their reviews are great. We both had a potato scone and veggie sausage in a roll but the scone was burnt and ruined the roll. Very dry too. Lady and her daughter were super friendly though.

Fab little place! - Edit
Visited Soy Division today on our way back from the Highlands. We had a breakfast and a BLT sandwich and both were equally delicious. Very reasonably priced too! Two meals, two cakes and two drinks for £22! Great little place and lovely staff - we'll definitely be back if we're ever passing!

Only had a cake which was prepared for a work mate. Fantasy cake and I really don't think anyone would know it was vegan unless told.

An absolute gem - Edit
Have eaten here many times now as it's so local to me.
Read moreLittle cafe with interesting art on the walls, broad mix of customers.
The lovely owner makes nearly everything from scratch (the square sausage is amazing!) and doesn't unncessarily add salt to everything like many places. Herself and staff really friendly and chatty.
Soy Division serves meat-replacement based dishes as well as more "traditional vegan" food e.g. with lentils. Sausage rolls, roll and bacon etc as well as cooked breakfasts, soups, dinner type meals (burgers, stews, lasagne...) and different sweet treats.
Food is fantastic, never been disappointed. The cooked breakfast is huge and perfect, the pots of tea are ginormous (and pour well, so rare) and the desserts are always spot on - I have a particular obsession with "fudgey wudgies" although last week's raspberry cheesecake was super fruity and tasty.
Specials board is great, love when lasagne is on! Really varied filling meals, healthy ingredients.
There's a real passion for food and veganism here and it's great to support with my purse. Some reviews have mentioned the price point - I would agree that it's a bit more expensive than other vegan cafes, but given the quality, effort and service I've received, totally worth it. Only real downside is that if you want to pop in as part of a large group, have a back-up plan as the space is limited.
Pros: Homecooked, Healthier, Varied
Cons: Small space

Gorgeous Food - Friendly Service - Edit
Was passing through Glasgow and decided to seek out Soy Division (the name is still making me chuckle) . Small but friendly cafe . There was a main menu then Specials which were - Spicy Lasagne, Cauliflower, Leek and Cashew Soup or African Stew. I plumped for African stew sweet potato, green beans and kale (maybe other veg in there ? ) in a tomato and peanut sauce - served with a really lovely bread . It was gorgeous with just the right amount of kick for a spice-a-phobe like me .Loved it - another customer passing my table also said how nice it looked .
Read moreThe cheesecake looked good too
Staff were friendly - if I didn't live so far away I would definitely be back :)))

rude staff - Edit
Coffee and cake was lovely but service slow, made to feel really unwelcome - like the staff couldn't be bothered... shame has real potential...

disappointing - Edit
I've been to Soy Division twice now.
Read moreOn my first visit, I had a bacon roll. The vegan bacon was lovely, but it came on a massive ciabatta with huge amounts of butter which totally obscured the flavour. I had to ask the very aloof staff for ketchup. The atmosphere was very awkward.
Second time around, I had a sausage roll + beans while my friends had full breakfasts. The sausage roll was lovely, but the beans were very bland - and it was very expensive for what you got. The full breakfast - again the "meats" were of high quality but overall a bland and uninteresting meal. We also had to wait almost an hour for our food.
The cafe also has no toilets for customers! Is that even legal?
I gave Soy Division a second chance but I don't think I'll be back, which is a real shame. The idea of 100% vegan cafe on the Southside is so enticing, and Soy Division are using high quality fake meat products - unfortunately their ineptitude makes a visit pretty unsatisfying, particularly when their are many omnivorous cafes nearby that cater so well to vegans.

Southside vegan cafe - Edit
Edir on 271116: Now I've managed to get in for a proper sit down meal I can bump up to the 5. They have rice, coconut and soy milk (Bonsoy), and had loads of dishes on special, and cakes. I was stuffed after my quiche and salads and had to end up taking my cheesecake home. I was there today hosting a vegan meetup and the 5 of us really enjoyed our courses and most of us bought food to take away. If in Glasgow I would recommend making the 20minute bus journey out of the town centre to visit.

Here you can pop in for coffee & cake, a savoury sausage roll or scotch pie, or a more substantial meal. I really fancied a bit of lasagne + 2 salads for £8.95 but as I had gone in after work for a quick little something to tide me over til home I opted for a takeaway, heated scotch pie (£3.50).
The combination of vegan 'meat' inside and very delicious homemade pastry hit my wee food hole for a bit. I'll be back in a couple of weeks for a sit down and a big plate o' stuff!

Delicious, authentic, homemade, wholesome. - Edit
A little gem in Glasgow Shawlands, serving up homemade vegan fare with a quintessentially Scottish twist. If you're vegan and want to experience Scottish food culture in the most authentic and genuine way possible, be sure to stop by for a sausage roll, square sausage and tatty scone roll, or go all in for a Full Scottish breakfast.
Read moreInexpensive, outrageously good food, all vegan owned and run by the most genuine and welcoming people. Homely atmosphere and rotating daily specials. Go!
Pros: All vegan, great options, both healthy and comfort

Sausage Rolls! - Edit
This cafe hasn't been opened long but I've already been twice. Very nice people and I believe all the food they sell is home made. The sausage rolls are outstanding and I've taken some out both time I've been in. Mushroom pie is also great and whilst the cakes look great I've not got a sweet tooth, although my daughter is in love with their brownies. :)
Read moreGreat to see another vegan cafe open in Glasgow with a welcoming and chilled vibe.

Great Atmosphere - Edit
At last I am able to offer brief review of this much anticipated vegan cafe!
Read moreI managed to pop in today, and I was not disappointed. It's a cosy cafe / take-away with a bustling and vibrant atmosphere. It feels like it would be easy to become a well know regular, a bit like Cheers!
I was hungry, so my eyes found the homemade lasagne, and I asked for a slice to to take home with me. After I had selected my order, I mentioned that I wanted to offer a small gift (a household cleaning spray from my company) as one fellow vegan to another, It's nice to offer support! However, typical Glasgow, no good deed goes unrewarded, and I was then not allowed to pay for my lasagne! This is what happens here!
After a bit of Mrs Doyle like toing & froing, I left the cafe with my complimentary lasagne, which I have since heated up and eaten. It was really good. So good, that I cannot wait to return, and try all the good things on their menu.
So, thank you very much for being lovely, and I look forward to visiting again soon. In the meantime, I cannot recommend highly enough.
Pros: Cosy and welcoming., Great selection of savoury items!, Great selection of cakes!
Cons: I cannot think of any at the moment.

I had a small coffee and a small piece of cake very expensive £6.00 I will not be returning as the other cafe around the corner in Shawlands is cheaper for vegan food, Glad Cafe.I thought she had made a mistake at £6.00 I was alone imaging I had other family members with me in this economy now I have more to do with my £6.00 than have a small coffee and a small cake. Very dissappointed indeed!!!
