Our Story
We are Terri and Clive, and together, we embarked on this journey with a shared passion for great coffee, delicious cakes, and, most importantly, putting smiles on the faces of everyone who walks through our doors.
When it came time to name our venture, we wanted something that felt warm, inviting, and full of heart – and that's when Glo was founded. It perfectly embodies the atmosphere we hope to create: a bright, welcoming place where people feel like they belong.
​
Glo was then closely followed by the Pear Tree Pantry - a dream location on the grounds of Cannonhall Museum and garden grounds.
​
We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of scrumptious treats, specializing in vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Whether you're following a specific dietary choice or simply looking for something new, we promise you won’t miss out on great-tasting food.
In fact, we challenge you to tell the difference between our cakes! Every bite is made with care and dedication, ensuring that no one has to compromise on taste or enjoyment.
