A popular café in the southside has paid tribute to a fellow fan favourite in Shawlands which has closed its doors for the final time.
The team at Cafe Strange Brew said there will be a "wee Julie–shaped hole" after Julie's Kopitiam closed opposite them on Kilmarnock Road.
Posting on Instagram, the Café Strange Brew owner Laurie MacMillan wrote: "The end of an era, as @julieskopitiam closes its door. Definitely going to be a wee Julie-shaped hole left in the southside of Glasgow but sending all the best wishes and love to her and her team and watch keenly what adventures await them all next.

The pair share a closer bond than most, as Julie's Kopitiam took over the former unit that Cafe Strange Brew originally sat in.
"It’s a special wee shop with good fortune," Laurie added. "I took over it when it was a lovely cafe called Pudding Lane. I had no idea what to expect, certainly not to outgrow the shop within a year.
"I passed the unit on to Julie, knowing this would be a great starting point for her with the immense support from a great community. Now it’s time for Julie to pass the baton to @chawppetnoi and I just know that this is going to be great for them.
"How could it not be with you guys behind them?!? We all become a wee part of history for this special and dare I say ‘ magic’ wee shop."
Taking time out from closing the unit, chef Julie Lin, who is now permanently going to be based at her Gaga in Partick, shared the love by responding: "What an amazing unit you gave to us, well be forever thankful. You are the first and best to delight Shawlands with brunch.
"Thank you for EVERYTHING over the years, the odd blue roll, the rolling WhatsApp messages of us venting/ giggling and all of the strength and guidance to open. Long live the OG in Shawlands Cafe Strange Brew."
