Big Mouth Coffee Bar and Café

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

This casual café servicing Partick locals is nicely furnished and softly lit making it a comfortable spot for a coffee, breakfast or bite of lunch. A tender steak served in a warmed ciabatta is flavoured with a tangy mustard mayo and comes with a side salad and coleslaw. Other choices might include toasties, soup or a warming bowl of stovies served with oatcakes. At the deli counter there are seven or eight sponge cakes ranging from mocha chocolate to strawberry meringue. Its walls exhibit work from a local artist, changing every couple of months, while the toilets are bright and colourful showcasing the work of a local painter. The café's welcoming community feel is furthered on the first Thursday of every month where a knitting and book group meet – at separate tables mind you.

• High point: Tasty steak sandwich
• Low point: Stovies verging on soup
