The business has been home to some of the show‘s most hilarious moments.
Who can forget Jack and Victor scolding Winston for his free electricity plot in the cafe in one of the show’s earliest episodes.
Or Jane McCarry’s notorious gossip Isa stopping by for a chat and ordering everything on a breakfast roll.
And the cafe was central to the popular episode Kill Wullie, where OAP Wullie Reid falls for the much younger waitress Rena.
But away from the TV screens and sitcom fame, Robyn’s Nest has beloved by the real people of Glasgow for decades.
Despite years of serving punters, the owners announced the sad news earlier this month that they will be closing down for good.
A post on the cafe’s Facebook on March 9 told how they were struggling to recover from Covid and other businesses being lost across their community.
The post read: “We are sad to announce the closure of Robyn’s Nest.
“We had 15 years of running the cafe , meeting amazing customers some who became friends and watching families grow who visited us regularly.
“Unfortunately we have tried to maintain our business but with local business closures and not being able to recover from the effects of Covid, we needed to do what is best for our family.
“We will remain still open until further notice.
“Thank you to everyone who visited us and supported our business for all the years we really appreciate it.”
Robyn’s Nest has now been listed for sale by the Scottish Business Agency.
It has been listed for offers over £100,000 and sellers say it is a “fantastic” investment opportunity.
The description reads: “This premises has traded as ‘Robyn’s Nest’ for over 12 years, with the tenant deciding to retire, the current landlord has decided to sell the property.
“This is being sold as a vacant possession.
“Set over the one level, this traditional cafe is suited to many types of business, subject to the use class and planning.
“Popular local businesses include barbers, beauty salons, cafes,
takeaways and retail shops.
There are 20 covers with a service area and fitted kitchen with extraction to the rear.
“Please note the current tenant owns the fixtures and fittings, these will be removed prior to sale. The extraction/hood will remain.
“Fantastic opportunity for an owner-operator or investor.”
