Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. The Yarn Cake http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33929 It's on Queen Margaret Drive, which is growing into a quirky neighbourhood, a bridge between the arty West End and down to earth Maryhill.
The Yarn Cake itself is bright, the large window revealing three tables, and shelf after shelf of yarn, knitting books, and knitting supply. There's a large loo, unusually for the size of the place, which is easily wheelchair accessible and has baby changing facilities.
You'll usually be welcomed by staff and regulars before you get a step into the place. If you come on a Saturday, you might get press-ganged into helping with the Saturday Guardian quiz.
The yarns range from cheap but good quality (Drops) all the way up to hand-died hanks from local indy dyers.
The teas and coffees are also from local suppliers, with half a dozen teas and two coffee blends, ground to order. The hot choc on a stick can come in anything up to four varieties, depending on how quickly they're selling out that day.
Cakes are home made, on the premises, with German tarts and loaves a speciality (though I love the baked cheesecake most).
All in all it's a very welcoming place for knitters and cake fans alike.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33929 No 1 Devonshire Gardens, Guys Restaurant and Kelvingrove Art Gallery http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33744 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33744 Kelvingrove Park and Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22767
Also, if you have time, take a walk in the park next to the Museum. The park is a great spot for Glasgow people watching and a magnet for skateboarders, rollerbladers and stunt bike riders. You cannot not fail to bump into some Glasgow life in Kelvingrove park and like the painting it will be an alternative view.

The park and Museum do Glasgow proud, both a must visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22767 Cafe Source http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3801
It's also a good choice for families, as a selection of toys is usually available, and is ideally placed for lunch or dinner following a visit to the People's Palace on Glasgow Green.

The monthly jazz supper club is well worth a visit, but book in advance - it's very popular.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3801 People's Palace and Winter Garden http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1287 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1287
