The 30 Best Cafe in Glasgow

“Such a nice cozy vibe, great food and prices. Can’t wait to make this a common part of my Sunday routine.”

“This is one of the best Cafe's in Town! Quirky, funky, warm and vibrant. Always great and friendly welcome, big smiles and fabulous atmosphere! Fresh bakes and delicious coffee.”

“Anyone who loves the rough charm of original vintage and wants to be advised by super nice service at the best price-performance ratio has come to the right place. Busy and hectic on Sundays when the market is on, quiet and relaxed during the week but always good. A tip for everyone who doesn't speak Scottish fluently, say: "I don't speak English", then the really nice waitress will make every effort and the answer can be put together even with knowledge of English.”

“Beautiful cafe with excellent food! I’ve visited twice, and both times the food was absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly, and the service is impressively quick, even when it's busy. Portion sizes are generous and definitely worth the price. On my second visit, I was pleased to find out that the chicken is halal, and I believe there are other halal options as well (possibly steak or beef, though I’m not entirely sure). The Fraccasious Chicken Sandwich was packed with flavor and oozing with pulled cheese,so satisfying! Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a great brunch in Glasgow City Centre.”

“I'm very tempted not to write this because the more people that know about this place, the less there is for me! Their pastries are absolutely sensational. Don't walk, run, buy one of everything! They're marvellous, worth every calorie.”

“Delicious menu choice and staff are always really friendly.”

“Highly recommended. The coffee tastes like it was made in Italy, truly! Very nice owner. Govan should be proud of having places like that. Top marks also for opening and serving the community in difficult times.”

“We had the best lunch here from start to finish. Amazing food and amazing service, can’t recommend a visit enough. Authentic Brazilian food - so fresh and tasty. Staff couldn’t have been any better, so friendly and attentive. 10 stars if I could!”

“Just had the Dalmuir Breakfast here and it was absolutely delicious! Best breakfast I’ve had! The Haggis, potato cake and square sausage were delicious! Very friendly guy’s serving, lovely clean cafe and good price! 10/10!”

“Lovely cafe serving the most delicious vegan food. I'd recommend their macaroni cheese! You'd have no idea it's plant based. They do the best coffees and cakes too. I always have the iced gingerbread cake and can confirm it's absolutely devine! Very welcoming and homely atmosphere. The staff are very pleasant also.”

“i have only been twice but both times i went it was amazing, rolls were cheap and great tasting, cake looks lovley and so does there other foods. i will need to come back soon! most my friends get a sengas every lunchtime and i may need to start doing that also. everyone loves sengas! edit: i have started coming here now alot more often and i fully understand the hype, i usually get a roll with sausage and scone, a roll and bacon AND if im feeling cheeky a wee old school sponge cake. i recommend to all around the area that they come for breakfast or lunch! -calvin the review guy”

“It’s a lovely place to hang out with friends, with great drinks and foods. There are pistachio tarts and biscoff cookies which are not something commonly found in other cafes.”

“Fantastic service and amazing carrot cake. Absolutely wonderful. Ladies were lovely and fab coffee. Worth a visit... Bleonard on route to Aviemore with Amigos...”

“Excellent service and lovely choices. Really enjoyed our event on Friday 15th November. The ladies on duty were very helpful and so lovely. Looking forward to the next one.”

“We had a family meal there on a dank Thursday night but the welcome from Imogen and Lucy brightened up the evening. They looked after us very well and are a credit to Michaelangelo's. Our chef popped out from the kitchen and introduced herself and checked that our food was to our liking. We'll definitely be back.”

“Booked last minute and so happy we did. The food was divine, ample portions and the service was impeccable - we would highly recommend.”

“There’s no better restaurant nearby!! Fantastic food and service… go!!”

“We came here for a quick lunch, and were so happy with our choice! We ordered a halloumi and a falafel souvlaki in pita bread, and they were both so delicious. This was such a great lunch spot, and a highlight of our stay in Stirling.”

“Food excellent staff are friendly and polite. Highly recommended”

“My boyfriend and I went here for breakfast and it was SUPERB! The full breakfast was comparatively cheap to many places. The quality of food did not reflect the price. Very enjoyable and I wish we could go here more often! Lovely food, lovely manager. Wish I could share the picture of food!”

“Found this lovely cafe on Google as needed somewhere that served early breakfast rolls as had early hospital appointment nearby. Sit in area does not open until 9am but this was not a problem as we took our bacon rolls and drinks and ate in car. Nearest carpark is at Morrisons supermarket which is 3 mins walk. The 2 ladies serving were very nice and served us quickly. 2 bacon rolls, 1 with an added potato scone, 1 tea, 1 coffee cost just over £10. Cash only. We will definitely be returning for lunch!”

“Excellent breakfast! Will definitely be back”

“I came here for the first time today, and really enjoyed it. my food was £6 for two eggs, two slices of wheat toast, and butter. I also got an iced americano so I think I paid around £11 (or $14 USD). my food was hot and really tasty. my drink came in a cute little glass. I think the espresso is a touch robust for my taste, but I’ll just get a latte next time. I came here to study and had a great experience. it’s a cozy atmosphere with large armchairs, big tables, a bar facing the street, and french doors that they propped open. I came around 1pm and had no problem finding a table. they have free wifi as well. I will for sure be back.”

“Fabulous location in Blantyre for a delicious meal. We had the full breakfast and the wagu sausages were the best I’ve ever eaten! Every other meal we saw being delivered to tables were mouth watering. The baguettes were huge and the baked potatoes were laden with fillings.The cafe is cosy and welcoming with a friendly atmosphere throughout. Service was quick and accommodating on options. There are good gluten free menu options if you need them and the cafe is wheelchair accessible from the good sized car park. There is additional outdoor seating for the summer and some covered and wind proofed seating with heaters if you would prefer that option to the cosy indoors. The front shop is definitely worth a browse. I bought some delicious caramel apple curd and macaroons. I’ll be going back again very soon as I think this will quickly become my new favourite!”

“The place is so nice! Well decorated, especially for anime and manga fans! The staff is friendly and quick, and drinks are sooo good and refreshing!”

“Family business run by John. He always remembers his customers and what they order. John is polite and efficient. The menu is varied, (see attached photo from November 2023). The food quality is above average and varied. Prices are competitive. Premises seats about 30 people. It can get busy at lunchtime. However, you can phone and reserve a table. Toilets are always immaculate. There is parking outside. This premises is a hidden gem.”

“Amazing delicious food in a nice comfortable environment. Honest price to be in Glasgow West End and coffee really good, in authentic Italian style. Well done guys!”

“Great local cafe with delicious local food and great coffee and cakes. Really reasonably priced with a fair amount of seating. Loved the staff attention to detail, the hand made loose leaf teabags they put together right in front of you was a particularly nice touch. The staff were friendly and the music made for a relaxed atmosphere I'l definitely be back in.”

“Definitely a little hidden gem on the south side, been there a couple of times and am addicted, their food is spot on and so tasty, definitely a place to check out, beautiful cute cafe doing tasty food I love it”

“Fantastic - for a long time this has been my favourite brunch in Glasgow. My go-to is the harissa hummus toast which is so generously portioned with two poached eggs and loads of halloumi. Every time I visit there are exciting specials - like this lemon ricotta, pea, leek and courgette toast with pesto. This cafe is so reasonably priced, the portions are huge (especially the pancakes) and everything is so fresh and tasty. There are also a huge range of options for veggies and meat eaters. Be willing to wait an hour or more on weekends! But you can leave your number and wait for a text when your table is ready :)”
