Tapa encapsulates every wannabe cafe owner's pipe dream: own bakery and roasting house ensuring freshness of house staples? Check. Home-made cakes and locally sourced ingredients? Check. All of which is more than enough to ensure a returning fanbase. But then add the fun, relaxed atmosphere (especially at weekends) and we're not just onto a winner but a contender for best in Glasgow. The menu is appealing, with a choice ranging from breakfast goodies (pastries, organic muesli and even full English – traditional and vegan) to soups, sandwiches, omelettes, open boards (dishes of deli delights) and mains such as beefburger, lentil and pine nut burger, vegetable jalfrezi and fish and chips. Then there are daily specials: the vegetable sausage and mixed bean chilli has a pleasantly rich tomato base, served with Tapa bread rather than rice. Then it's on to the wonderful cakes …
- High point: Almost everything
- Low point: Service can be underwhelming

Agree with the above. We visited on a quiet Monday afternoon. The guy behind the counter said he'd come a get our order at the table. Tables were cleared. Take-away customers came and went. Beards were scratched. No order was taken. We left ten minutes later and won't be going back.

From visiting this venue twice, I will not be returning. The service was incredibly slow on a quiet weekday afternoon. The portions were mismatched and not good value for money. Overall a disappointing experience. Not recommended.
