Hi - I am planning a wee trip to Boni's for  a coffee and some ice cream, I was thinking of taking them some of the pics and articles that people have written about the cafe, as i had previously promised the  old lady who runs the place. I will be there on Saturday the 14th at 1pm if anyone can make it. PS I am now a roll and fritter - does that mean I am getting up the chippy ladder? sharon HollowHorn Re: Anyone fancy a coffee and ice cream at boni's clarkston? smckenzie wrote: I am now a roll and fritter - does that mean I am getting up the chippy ladder? No sure, gies a twirl.   Hugo Drax Great wee cafe. falseface working but make it weekend and I'll go smckenzie Im no twirling for you... I know weekend would be better, lets make it Saturday the 14th at 1pm - I would have made it the Sunday but I have my doubts its opened then.

(roll and chips?) you get what i mean. But your right Im sure the moderators are a serious bunch (of something) and will think on it for me. Failing that I am totally open to bribing any one of you very clever boys. falseface Re: Im no twirling for you... smckenzie wrote: I know weekend would be better, lets make it Saturday the 14th at 1pm - I would have made it the Sunday but I have my doubts its opened then.

Lets get it clear - I bake cakes, no more, no less - just wait till you taste my Plum Duff! Doesn't look like Saturday is a goer so I will retract my offer. I may suggest a later date when my face is not so red. falseface smckenzie wrote: I think I was a bit tired when I wrote the last posting.

Hugo Drax  I would be up for this if they still do amazing ice cream. monument Good luck.  That place scared the crap out of me and I had to leave   wee minx monument wrote: Good luck.  That place scared the crap out of me and I had to leave   I've had a look..I wasn't scared, just dissapointed....it's a very quiet wee place..and dull...but not scary once the wee old lady puts the cleaver down   cybers If i am over that way and its open i am always in there Having some of the Ice Cream. I dont go in for the caramalised pears or apples nonsense as i like it plain.... Could not recommend it highly enough. Back to the master-baker statememnt before.... There was a bakery somewhere near Boni's as we sometimes stopped off there early mornings when i worked in the chateau-au-lait on the way out to ayrshire for fresh warm scones with butter and the guys even gave us tea.. Wonder if its still there ? wee minx wee minx wrote: monument wrote: Good luck.  That place scared the crap out of me and I had to leave   I've had a look..I wasn't scared, just dissapointed....it's a very quiet wee place..and dull...but not scary once the wee old lady puts the cleaver down   Oops...didn't mean I was dissapointed in the food..wee old lady wasn't keen on pics..said other people had already been in doing that..so I didin't push it falseface wee minx wrote: ............wee old lady wasn't keen on pics..said other people had already been in doing that..so I  push her down the stairs Did you buy a slush? smckenzie Wee old lady Honest when I spoke with the wee old lady she was really nice, I posted another comment somewhere on here to explain. I asked her about the history of the cafe and they have been open since 1960, she looked a bit sad and said "i see all the people going by and i just think - have they forgotten about boni's", it was really tear jerking stuff. I told her about the cult following she has and i swear she was so happy. I promised i would bring her in some of the pictures people have posted and some of the lovely comments.   she looked dead chuffed... Next saturday is good for me, someone name a time. Boni's here we come. PS if you find any good reviews print them off or just make one up it will be nice to cheer the W.O.L. (wee old lady). the ice cream is still lovely but i couldnt see the caramel apples on the menu, i would like some of that. S Scary I will try to make this , depends on the time   cybers No good for me either I will be getting ready for the Egyptian extravaganza. smckenzie mmmm, I will be going along anyway so i will plump for a time of 1.30pm, if anyone can make it great - if not i will entertain myself and feedback to you all. Hugo Drax I have it in my diary and will do my best to be there. Scary 1.30 is good for me, I hope others get along too smckenzie Eh where were you? Dear Hugo and Scary, there was me at Boni's on saturday - pissing rain, not much in the mood but made the effort. All on my own... no really I met with my friends and introduced them to Boni's tcp coffee. Wee old lady was dead chuffed to have customers and was chatting away. also to my suprise other customers came in as well. A lady with her two wee boys, and a carry out customer! the place was jumpin. Ah well maybe next time. falseface i will go Sunday if its open!        urbanglasgow.co.uk Forum Index -> Something happening? Page 1 of 1
