The Glad Cafe CIC Concerts 2025

Went to see Janice Burns and John Doran gig. Xmas folk music. Very nice night and great venue for this music. They are on tour currently and worth a watch

Really cool place with a warm friendly atmosphere. All plant based options made it so hard to choose, but I went for the savoury French toast, amazing!

Dropped by after trying another cafe (which was full) and so glad we went here. The decor is cool and fun, the staff were lovely and the food was next level. Gorgeous place with great service and fantastic food. Can't wait to go back!

The pizza dough was delicious but the "cheese" topping spoiled it. I had a vague memory of The Glad going fully vegan from a couple of years ago, but that was only about five minutes after they'd started doing pizzas and I wasn't sure if they'd changed again, as the menu simply offered pizza with "sausage" and "cheese" while the specials board listed "fish cakes". Why pretend it's something it isn't? It's peculiar because I imagine a place like this would have no problem highlighting if a dish had gluten or nuts in it, but I am none the wiser what the bizarre mimicry of Red Leicester that my pizza was covered in - or my friend's fake fish cakes - consisted of.

We had loads of items of the menu, and they were all absolutely delicious. But the cakes! The vegan pineapple cream cake is the best cream cake I've eaten. The people who work there are lovely and super welcoming, too 🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕👌👌
