  Oh my Lord, I am such a sucker for art deco inspired decor! So whenever I walk past this cafe I swoon, because the linear stained glass and simple, old fashioned appeal of this place is rather pleasing on the eyes!
  
  But as nice as old, battered leather booths and old fashioned ice cream cafe's look, Queens Cafe is just as pleasing on a stomach. Be prepared to eat the breakfast of kings here, with double portion bacon and egg rolls, full Scottish breakfasts and chips for lunch....yummy scrummy in my tummy!
  
  Sadly I am not on Victoria Road enough to get a chance to eat in Queens Cafe often. However, I have loved it since it saved my bacon the fateful morning I had my first ever hangover! I had three rolls that day, what a glutton! But I recovered as soon as the egg yolk oozed down my throat while my friend and I dissected going's on from a party we attended the night before.
  
  Those were the days. Now hangovers are not so exciting, partying is not gossipworthy or anything to write home about, and the recession combined with the reality of being an adult has hit home. But along with the decor, the prices have largely stayed the same since 2003, and the bacon rolls are just as good. Well worth a visit, and a great place to take your nan for a brew!

  This cafe have lovely staff, I have only ever got ice cream out of here and I wouldn't go back to eat the food. The ice cream didnt taste nice at all, tasted like it had gone off.

  Since moving to the South Side in May I have visited here every chance I get when the sun's out. Their vanilla ice cream is just amazing. Their vanilla is in a separate section from the other flavours and they always have it. I always see customers coming in to buy tubs of it. My go-to is a cone with vanilla but I occasionally get the other flavours when I'm feeling adventurous. I believe they also do food but I've never actually seen anyone sitting in with anything but ice cream. The best thing as well is that it's right next to Queen's Park so you can eat your ice cream and go for a nice walk as well. This place is a winner for me!

  While it is true that the decoration and cleaning are rather... old fashioned, if you arrive at the cafe in the early evening, you can catch the early evening news on an old fashioned, pre-plasma screen television. This adds to the dated feel, which is one of its main charms. That, and the hot muffin , ice cream combination, which extends the ice cream season into the winter.
  
  There is something nostalgic about this cafe, which is why I always order Bovril to drink and vanilla ice cream, despite the range of other drinks and flavours. The menu isn't extensive, and this is more like a sweet shop with cafe attached at times: it never gets busy, and isn't that great to sit in with more than three other people.

  The best ice cream in Glasgow - no rather in Scotland- let there be no doubt about it.First visit to the shop was in  August 1994,the ice cream has remained the same.It was very special for me to see the place as it was 18 years ago.Keep it on!
