Time for a Sweet Treat!
After all that fun, it’s time to satisfy those sweet cravings! Barrhead has some fantastic spots for a delicious treat!
Central Café
A true local gem, Riccardo Crolla’s Central Café has been serving authentic Italian ice cream since 1968. With its classic sweet shop vibes, it’s a must-visit for families. The café’s story goes back to 1958 when Riccardo’s father, Antonio, moved from Picinisco, Italy, bringing his love for gelato to Barrhead.

Ice & Cream
If you’re in the mood for takeaway desserts, Ice & Cream has you covered! From ice creams, milkshakes, cookie dough and much more! This dessert spot is a great option for a grab-and-go sugar rush.
Greggs
Greggs is always a winner! Whether it’s a fresh cream doughnut, a classic yum yum, or a jam tart, it’s a great spot for the kids (and yourself!).
And after all those treats, head over to Centenary Park to let the kids run free!
