“Used to be a public toilet”. Kinda difficult to get past that opener, isn’t it? Like a Tinder profile that begins with “Voted Tory”. You wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and be open minded and believe in change but….gross.

 Mostly these instincts protect us, keeping us alert to the red flags that help us navigate the modern world but every now and then there’s an exception, a time when you have to ignore the warnings and plough right ahead. As a café made out of a re-modelled public toilet, Chaiwallah is one of those times.

 Reborn as a charming coffee shop with a wide variety of snacks and baked goods on offer (including a range of gluten-free cakes courtesy of Sharon McLaughlin's Healthy Kitchen co.),  Chaiwallah acts as both a stylish stopping point for anyone in search of a coffee and a quick bite and as a kind of hub for the Kelvingrove area – offering free mobility scooter hire is just one especially excellent element of its quest to bring together every member of the local community.

 By keeping the “Ladies” and “Gents” entrances intact, Chaiwallah pays cheeky tribute to its own unique heritage while conscientiously carving out a role for itself in the area’s future.
