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…

Glasgow,

Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ

Glasgow,
G2 2UW

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…

Glasgow,
G2 3JD

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…

Glasgow,

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…

Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT

Piece
1056 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY

[Another] Piece
387 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY

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…

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…

Glasgow,
G12 8NU

517a Great Western Road,
Glasgow,

Montgomery's Coffee House
9 Radnor Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UE

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…

Glasgow,
G51 1EA

Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8YU
Six years of taking it easy at Go Slow Café (to paraphrase the blurb), but the place is thriving and popular, so it’s no mean feat that during the busiest times owner/factotum Rose manages to keep the happy, calm vibe alive. Like most places run with…

Glasgow,
G41 5RB

La Tea Doh
136 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB

Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
This popular Byres Road deli-café may need to install revolving doors for the owners, having changed hands in late 2011 and due again at the time of this visit. None of that upheaval seems to have dimmed its ability to provide delicious food with an…

28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,

Cup
311 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UQ
The first thing to mention about Cup is that it’s a tearoom rather than a café, offering a wide range of speciality teas and infusions that add twists to the traditional black, green, and oolong varieties. The second thing to mention is that this isn’t…

Tribeca
102 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With a name like Tribeca, after the area of New York, the Americana inside – not to mention the yellow taxi and NYPD cruiser parked outside – should come as little surprise. Pictures of Manhattan street scenes, wooden tables (rather crammed in) and a…

Glasgow,
G11 5QF
The Rio Café’s 1950s diner-style décor and vibe has made it something of an institution in Glasgow’s West End, and it’s menu offers up tempting options whether you’re in for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack. The burgers come large and tasty, and even a…

Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road,
Glasgow,

Jelly Hill Cafe/Bar
195 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,

The Waverley Tea Room
18 Moss Side Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3TN
This is perhaps the best of the G1 Group’s Southside outposts, as popular with early-rising families for its coffee and kids' play area as it is with evening revellers for its late licence, strong choice of beers and ten wines by the glass. It’s also…

Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR

LUV Café
1121 Govan Road,
Glasgow,
G51 4RX
