Roots Fruits and Flowers

Roots Fruits and Flowers is an iconic part of Glasgow’s Great Western Road, who have been trading since 1980. It has also been a favourite of Skinny readers since there has been a Skinny to read. Safe to say, they’re pretty damn good.

The bouquets blooming from its flower shop are guaranteed to brighten up just about anyone’s day and the deli counter is packed with healthy treats, but the fruit and veg is where it all began and is still the heart of the place. The wise staff can guide you through its panoply of produce, pointing you to the best of the locally-sourced stock to suit your needs. They know where everything comes from and how best to use it. They won’t preach militant vegan values at you or scowl at the mention of refined sugar, they’ll just offer you something else green and delicious and let you be on your way.

As a result, they’re once again amongst the Best Food and Drink Shops in 2019’s Food and Drink Survey.
