Tinderbox
118 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1EJ
Tinderbox’s original Byres Road coffeshop café opened in 1998 but the interior still feels contemporary and enticing. No food is prepared on the premises though, with savoury options being either pre-prepared sandwiches or salad/noodle bowls. It’s an…
Fressh
51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1HL
Fressh is just off George Square, and a refreshing antidote to some of the big commerical outfits in the area. It serves a limited menu but does it very well. Soups are always excellent, and the sandwich fillings are fresh and colourful if a little…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1DX
Tucked away in Merchant City, Lily’s may look like your average café from the outside but the menu tells a different story. Successfully combining paninis, burgers and baked potatoes with Chinese dishes, the noodle soup sprinkled with roast sesame seeds…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street, Glasgow, G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
Cranberry's
30 Wilson Street, Glasgow, G1 1SS
One of the best things about whiling away an afternoon in Cranberry’s is that its huge, clean, picture windows mean that it’s a great place to admire some of the highlights of the Merchant City’s architecture. But there are other good things as well…
Peckham's
61–65 Glassford Street, Glasgow, G1 1UB
Peckham’s was once the go-to Merchant City deli, packed with pâtés, Scottish fruit cordials, olive oils and as fine a selection of wines as you could find in Glasgow. But it has suffered in recent years – and many competitors have stepped into the…
Bread and Butter
74 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 3AJ
Ducking down the fairylight-festooned alley off Buchanan Street that leads to Bread and Butter makes you feel like a real in-the-know local. By night, it's a chill-out zone for the nightclub downstairs, but by day it's the place to hit for a nourishing…
Fit Food Bistro
Tiso Glasgow Outdoor Experience, 50 Coupar Street, Glasgow, G4 0DL
A pleasing antidote to the chips-with-everything culture, Fit Food prides itself, as the name suggests, in offering wholesome sandwiches, light meals and snacks. Which is perhaps no more than you would expect, located as it is in Tiso’s outdoor activity…
Café Wander
110a West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1QJ
First of all, it'd be easily done, but a shame to wander past Café Wander's City Centre venue, situated as it is below street level. This basement cosiness, combined with friendly staff, give it a happy and relaxed vibe that's quite unique. The hearty…
November
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 3JX
Situated right at the top of Princes Square, November is a light, airy cocktail bar and café which offers seating 'outside' on the balcony, looking down to the shops below, or under the interior's cupola. It offers a variety of dishes to tempt wearied…
Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street, Glasgow, G1 5RJ
The retro Trans-Europe Café, fitted out with bus seats, board games and roadmaps, may be playful in appearance but it is very serious about the food served up. On the menu are imaginative dishes brought in by former Ubiquitous Chip chef Andy Stewart…
Café Osa
213 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 2UW
This semi-subterranean family-run café is proving a worthwhile destination for nearby workers and shoppers coming in for a variety of sandwiches, paninis, soups and fajita wraps, plus more hearty offerings of burgers, several classic pasta dishes and…
Café Source
1 St Andrew's Square, Glasgow, G1 5PP
This large space beneath the St Andrew’s In The Square church has been sensitively designed to accommodate quiet meals in the leather booths while catering comfortably for families and large parties. Black and white photographs of musicians are a nod to…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 4RU
Rockin' basement rebel WTMS can no longer be filed under 'hidden gem'. Now that it has celebrated its first decade, it can proudly flaunt its establishment credentials. And well-deserved too. Choices range from healthy fruit smoothies (or the more…
Taste
240 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3EQ
Former Nobu and Ivy sous-chef Nick MacIntyre has got big plans for his sandwich bar and al fresco café on Sauchiehall Street's pedestrianised stretch. Not that it particularly needs changing. Since opening in 2011 people have been flocking here like the…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street, Glasgow, G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
Bagel Mania
338 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD
For bagel fans this small café is the holy of holies, offering an array of flavoured bagels and enticing fillings with a heavy US accent. Things start early with all-day morning bagels featuring smoked salmon, eggs, bacon and such like. The main menu…
Saramago Café Bar
CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD
Occupying a light, airy atrium in the heart of the CCA, Saramago draws a bohemian crowd – you’re more likely to find an up-and-coming conceptual artist or filmmaker at the next table than a weary Sauchiehall Street shopper. The menu is a tour of mostly…
Herald Café Bar
Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DN
The creation of the Herald Café Bar formed part of the re-development of the Mitchell Library in 2007. Planned as a meeting hub for students, local business people and visitors to library events, the design makes use of the glass frontage to create a…
Tibo
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 1RY
As the paper lanterns bob gently in the breeze from the ceiling fans and soulful tunes play, you enter a spiritual oasis on Duke Street at Tibo. Everything about the place is calming. Angus MacLeod at the helm likes to keep things this way. Dishes are…
Mimi's Kitchen
93–97 St George's Road, Glasgow, G3 6JA
Mimi’s Kitchen is a popular Charing Cross spot for breakfast, lunches and takeaways for office workers, students and shoppers alike. Named after Scots-Italian owner Franca Collins’s grandmother – plus her dog and daughter too – it’s spacious, bright and…
Bocadillo
569 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G3 7PQ
Just a block away from the M8 end of Sauchiehall Street, this smart sandwich bar is in the perfect location to service the requirements of local business folk looking for a quick bite – and by the number of suits grabbing rolls, salads and coffee it’s…
Tapa Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 2LH
Tapa is essentially a functioning bakery with a front of shop area for takeaway or sit-in sampling. Practically everything for sale in the cafe is made there. A wide range of organic loaves, savoury brioche, pastries, bagels, foccacia and unctuous…
Coia's Café
473–477 Duke Street, Glasgow, G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…
Beanscene
40-42 Woodlands Road, West End, Glasgow, G3 6UR
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Café La Padella
124 Woodlands Road, Glasgow, G3 6HB
A bright turquoise exterior is the first clue that Café La Padella is definitely not another corporate café. Idiosyncratic is the word that best describes this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eatery, exemplifying, as it does, an 'original mix of…
Sideways
141 Elderslie Street, Glasgow, G3 7AW
This café-bistro may be in an area short on dining options – unless you fancy a curry – but that is to its great credit, offering an attractive, laid-back and really rather cool neighbourhood eatery for a bite and a drink. The menu blends brunch…
Coffee, Chocolate and Tea
944 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8YJ
There’s a lot happening here and it’s all good. Owned by the MacCallum brothers of Troon fish fame, it was inspired by a visit to Paris where John was besotted by a café that had a working coffee roaster in the window. Thirty years later he acquired the…
An Clachan
Off La Belle Place, Glasgow, G3 7LH
Following an inspired renovation of a disused Kelvingrove playground shelter, An Clachan is a charming, independently owned café with a well-considered ethos. Everything is prepared on site, sourced responsibly and, even more impressively, 100 per cent…
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street, Glasgow, G3 7NR
Tucked into a side street joining nearby offices to Kelvingrove Park, Arcaffe is an unassuming and friendly little Italian bistro, with tables on the pavement outside and large windows for catching the midday sun. Bustling with a mix of young families…
Café Wander
1032 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8LX
First of all, it'd be easily done, but a shame to wander past Café Wander's City Centre venue, situated as it is below street level. This basement cosiness, combined with friendly staff, give it a happy and relaxed vibe that's quite unique. The hearty…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HT
Café Cherubini hovers pleasantly between between the feel of a café and a trattoria, offering Italian-inspired snacks and meals. The usual café items such as all-day breakfasts, bacon rolls, and hearty baked potatoes with various tasty fillings are on…
Piece
1056 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8LY
How enthusiastic is it possible to be about the humble sandwich? A visit to Piece reveals the answer: hugely. From the jokey pavement chalkboard to the quick-fire banter from busy staff and the pumping dub and reggae, the ethos is to get customers…
eatiBoutiquie
231 Berkeley Street, Finnieston, Glasgow, G3 7HH
Opened in late 2010, Eati Boutiquie has grown out of co-owners Rachel Suttle and Emma Paris’s pop-up vintage shop and wholesale cupcakes and bespoke catering business Made With Love Finnieston. Part deli-café, part retro style and hand-crafted goods…
The Hidden Lane Tearoom
8 Argyle Court, 1103 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8ND
Tucked down a cobbled lane off Argyle Street, the Hidden Lane Tearoom is one of those rare places where everything comes together seamlessly. The décor is shabby chic – all duck-egg blue highlights, floral bunting, artfully mismatched furniture and…
Sugar Qube
1082 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8LY
With its smart frontage and fresh interior, Sugar Qube is part of the new brigade of trendy establishments transforming the western end of Argyle Street. Since opening in April 2008, the coffee shop has grown into an all-day food stop and deli. The café…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed…
[Another] Piece
387 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
Sandwich virtuosos Tom Lauckner and John Moore's second outlet (a companion piece if you will) increases your chances of grabbing one of their justifiably popular gourmet pieces. There are only a couple of chairs here, less if it is raining, but the…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
Around since 1960, the Bay Tree Café has a relaxed air to it, the walls and shelves decorated with various Arabian/Mediterranean knick-knacks. If the décor evokes one region though, then the menu is far broader ranging. The breakfast menu is available…
Sonny & Vito's
52 Park Road, Glasgow, G4 9JG
Walking into Sonny & Vito’s can make you forget that you’re in Scotland. This appealing deli-café’s shelves are stocked with all manner of epicurean delights from Italy and the wider Mediterranean area, and this feeling of continental culinary…
Offshore
3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU
It’s impossible not to mention the view from Offshore. Large windows looking out onto Gibson Street and onto the beginnings of Kelvingrove Park give the café a laid-back feel that makes it the perfect haven for anybody looking to chill out and watch the…
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea
42 Otago Lane, Glasgow, G12 8PB
With its stone floors, threadbare rugs, basket weave screens and Moorish lamps this eccentric little tavern could easily be tucked into the corner of a Marrakesh market rather than at the end of Otago Lane. A jumble of comfy old chairs and reclaimed…
Artisan Roast
15–17 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU
Nestling on one of the city's more illustrious streets, Artisan Roast is a cosy, welcoming caffeine den and a magnet for coffee lovers. The café’s fascination with and commitment to the black stuff means manager Megan Barker meticulously roasts their…
Roots and Fruits
455–457 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8HH
If you want to ensure that what you’re eating has been prepared from the freshest and highest quality fruit and veg available, then you’ll be hard pushed to beat Roots & Fruits. The iconic Glasgow deli and greengrocer already supplies produce to…
Alba
481 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8HL
Opened in 2011, it didn't take husband and wife team Brendon Miller and Anne Smillie long to establish a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for this pleasant café. Food is freshly prepared by Brendon and this effort comes across in both the look and…
Tramway Café Bar
25 Albert Drive, Glasgow, G41 2PE
Tramway’s been part of Glasgow’s arts landscape for over 20 years now, and is still evolving. At any time it might play host to a challenging art installation, a dance project for mixed abilities or a mother and baby meet-up. The café clientele reflects…
The Flavour Co
517a Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8HN
Owner and manager Natalie Minnis’ petite juice bar may only have six seats but what it lacks in size it makes up for in quality and charm. All of the tasty smoothies from their extensive range are made to order, and even the juices that they have at…
Montgomery's Coffee House
9 Radnor Street, Glasgow, G3 7UE
The relentless traffic on the busy streets of Argyle and Sauchiehall might distract an unwary passer-by from noticing this whimsically elegant coffee house tucked between these arterial city routes. On the other side of huge double-height windows, a…
The Little Café
1361 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AF
With its smart interior of attractive polished wood and shiny white tiles, only the neatly stacked packets of pasta and tins of plum tomatoes gives any clue to the fact that the Little Café is actually a little Italian café – and good it is, too. The…
Cushion & Cake
35 Old Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G3 8RD
From the enticing window decoration with its hanging birdcages wrapped in silk bows, to the colourful arts and crafts work from local and UK designers that fill the walls, there's little doubt this attractive little café will appeal to the aesthetic in…
