Stumbled upon Bruce’s bites when working in the area. Hidden away in an industrial site. We had the Wee Scottie and Wee Veggie breakfasts and some vanilla lattes. Just what we needed when we were feeling shattered after a long nightshift. Busy place and a good selection of breakfast items, lunches, rolls, cake and drinks.
