If you're visiting Glasgow treat yourself to a lovely meal with an attentive staff! We happened by and something drew us in. We're so glad it did. Not only is the food delicious but the presentation enhances the experience. We're only in Glasgow a few days but we'll definitely go back. Enjoy! read more

EXCELLENT breakfast! We travel to Scotland often from the US and this is by far my favorite breakfast eatery. I can't wait to come back to try lunch at some point. HIGHLY recommend: the veggie breakfast w/ poached eggs & a slice of the French toast. The chili sauce + halloumi cheese on the veggie breakfast is an amazing combo! The French toast was probably the best I've ever had. Not too sweet and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered "the big breakfast" and was a traditional Scottish breakfast. He devoured it so I assume it was yummy. We will be back! read more

I hadn't been in here for ages, but the chance to catch up with my big sis for brunch was a suitable occasion to try again. The layout seems very cramped in general, especially in the upstairs mezzanine bit, but luckily it was pretty quiet so we managed to find a table without problem. I wasn't overly impressed with the lunch menu as it didn't meet my dietary needs. It's okay for veggies but most things had cheese of some sort in them so if you have problems with dairy your options are pretty limited. Luckily the all-day breakfast/brunch options are quite extensive. After pondering over the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon option, I eventually plumped for the eggs royale - basically eggs Florentine with organic smoked salmon and a massive nest of what appeared to be spinach. Jolly tasty it was too, although I did think it was a trifle over-priced at £8.75. I finished with an Americano, and my sister tempted me into a slice of polenta cake, which was very nice. The coffee was okay, not particularly outstanding. I still don't 'get' the popularity of Cafezique; to me it comes across as over-priced, over-crowded and over-trendy. It will never be a regular haunt for me, but it's nice once in a while. read more

I'd seen Cafezique mentioned a few times when people mentioned their favourite brunch spots so when the husband and I had a morning to ourselves (my son is allergic to eggs so brunch isn't his meal of choice) we headed out to try it. First know that parking isn't great around it right now because of reconstruction going on nearby--not their fault but just be prepared to look a bit for parking. I mistakenly thought it was in Hyndland but this part of Hyndland road is closer to Partick in my book. We came in and were asked to take a seat at the bar while we waited for a table but we weren't even there long enough to get a drinks order in as a table was cleared and ready for us very quickly. There were some many amazing looking options on the menu with lots of variations on Eggs Benedict but I decided to go for French Toast with Puddledub bacon and Maple Syrup and my husband went for the Big Breakfast. It was busy but our food didn't take overly long and our coffees were delivered promptly. My French Toast was made with home made bread (they have a deli/bakery next door) and my bacon came super crispy just as I'd ask. There wasn't a ton of maple syrup (the individual jug was maybe half full) so I dipped my toast into there rather than pouring to make it last longer. Husband's big breakfast looked amazing with fried eggs with super orange yolks and very high quality sausages and a home made tattie scone. We both scoffed as much as we could but with huge portions we were just short of making the clean plate club. At £21 for two coffees, two breakfast it wasn't cheap but the ingredients were so fresh and high quality and so well cooked I would whole-heartedly recommend it and come back again. Some of the other hyped brunch places in Glasgow use shop-bought mixes and don't even come close on quality. I wish we lived closer but Cafezique will be my new go to celebratory brunch place! read more

Yelp Glasgow's first brunch club outing went to Cafezique a couple of weekends ago. I was pretty excited as I'd never been here but wanted to try it for ages, and had heard good things. We were able to book a table and the guy on the phone was super friendly and helpful, even the second time I called to add more people on to the booking (such is the popularity of brunch club!). On the day there was 8 of us and they'd reserved us a table downstairs along the wall which was ready as soon as we showed up. The food menu is pretty decent with lots of options if you're veggie or just like to think about what to have. I couldn't resist the lure of the big breakfast though - for around £9.90 it came with two poached eggs, two sausages, potato scone, toast, beans, two rashers of bacon, tomato, mushroom and black pudding. I would normally go for eggs benedict, but that was around the £8 mark and for just an extra little bit of money there was all that meat! I couldn't resist. Cafezique gets super busy on the weekend, but thankfully that didn't affect the service as there was always staff members around to get more drinks etc while we waited for our food. I don't remember waiting long for the meals to arrive (quite a few of us went for the big breakfast option!) although there was such good chat so that was a bit distracting. I was pretty excited when it arrived, everything was in generous portions and there were two eggs. One was cooked to perfection, the other was a little over but I have struggled for years to get poachies right so I won't judge them too harshly for that. Everything on the plate was super tasty - even the black pudding, which I normally avoid. I had a nibble (peer pressure) and actually didn't mind it but I was totally stuffed by that point. I'd definitely pay here another visit for their breakfast, although I'm not sure I'd try anything else on the menu now I know how good the big breakfast is. read more

Seeing as how I live steps from this gem, my flatmate, our friend and my guy decided to partake in a bit of brunch after a late night out the night before. I've always loved this place and have been here a few times before for breakfast and drinks, but this time was particularly great because of the company i was in. We all had our minds set on a filling breakfast to cure any little ache we had and we were not disappointed. I ordered the full Scottish breakfast, which was complete with haggis and black pudding. I'm still not convinced by haggis, but my guy absolutely loves it and had no issues taking it off my plate. He ordered eggs and hagis with some lovely bread, my flatmate ordered the banana french toast, which looked delicious. Our friend ordered eggs and toast. Seems as though I was the only one who pigged out on the yums, but it was so worth it. This place is cozy and inviting and begs for loads of people to come in. I've never eaten a proper lunch or dinner, but their menu is outstanding and I hope to make it there soon to partake. Fab place, check it out! read more

Loooove this place! I can't believe I only just came across it today because I've walked past it at least 50 times. My wonderful father said he'd take me for breakfast this morning, and when told to choose the place, I set my sights here. I'd heard good things about their breakfast, and so we headed over and were seated immediately upstairs by a lovely waitress (who happens to be brand new and hails from the Isle of Skye!). We ordered eggs benedict for myself and French toast with banana for my dad. The food order was taken swiftly and the food was brought out just as quick, and it was absolutely delicious! The eggs were maybe slightly overpoached but the hollandaise sauce and the BACON (oh wow the bacon) were both fantastic. I also had fever tree lemonade, which I'd never had before, and it is my new favourite lemonade ever. So fresh and tasty! My only qualm would be the pricing. At £8.50 for eggs benedict it's maybe a bit pricey to be going frequently, but I absolutely loved the feel of the place and the wee shelf of hundreds of cookbooks upstairs that I'll be back to flick through and steal some recipes! read more

Breakfast during the day rocks. Just thought i'd throw that one out there for a mutual head nodding moment (are you nodding your head? Thought so.) Cafezique offers a ton of really fresh and tasty grub, including a wide range fo all day breakfast options. Cue: Eggs Bene... yum nom yunom. When egg yolks slice open to reveal a lovely rich orange colour instead of an insipid watery yellow, my heart sings. 'Fresh' it cries, as my hands grapple with the cutting/forking implements to allow the efficient transportation of goodness to my gob. Ok, the menu is a tad on the pricy side. However the quality cannot be questioned, with your taste buds likely to hit you a skelp if you even considered raising the issue. Hit it, take the price hit, enjoy the grub. Bye now. read more

Spoiled for choice in the West End, we took to Cafezique for Sunday Brunch at the weekend. As ever, we timed our arrival perfectly to coincide with the busiest part of the day, 1pm on a Sunday. We were offered a stool at the bar to wait and it only took 10 mins for a table to free up, enough time to have a glass of fresh orange and decide what to eat. We were seated upstairs, a small mezzanine area that was a little cramped but not too bad once we got seated. It was very warm though, with the air conditioning unit kicking on and off to give a few minutes of respite now and then. Eggs Benedict for me, Full Scottish for my partner, both of which arrived after a forgivable delay (they were full and the kitchen is tiny). I'd asked for my bacon to be crispy and the obliged, the eggs were poached perfectly, my only criticism was the single half of muffin it was served on. Not only was it not quite enough 'bread' to soak up the Hollandaise sauce and egg yolk, I'm not sure it was the freshest as it was a little tough to cut through. Still, the flat white was good, and the Full Scottish was demolished with some relish (I managed to sneak a bite or two, very tasty!). A lot of the produce is locally sourced, and the quality of the ingredients really shines through. The staff were a little on the quiet side with not much interaction but aside from that it was a very tasty brunch. The main downside is the size, it feels a little too crammed in to be comfortable. Aside from that I think we will be back sometime to try some more of the menu. read more

Despite our group having an AirBnB in the foodie heaven that is Finnieston, we ended up trekking over to Cafezique in Partick for a late brekkie on our first 'morning after the night before'. On approach, the street didn't really look as though it'd feature a stylish café for brunchers, but we found them on the corner of Hyndland St and White St looking inviting in the sunshine. We'd built up quite the appetite from our walk over so dived on the menus. It's a light, airy and relaxed space, with a mezzanine overlooking the main floor. We sat by the large windows at the front. It was busy, but not cramped. I ordered their Big Breakfast, all of which was delicious, the only comment being I found the black pudding to be a tad too crumbly - I'm by no means an expert, it was just tricky to get on to the fork. The poached eggs were done to perfection and the sausages were terrific. Recommended for a decent breakfast if you're in the area - they're only a 20 minute walk away from the Botanic Gardens if you're on your way there (which we were). read more

We went here for dinner & drinks recently. Every dish was amazing and they were very accommodating to us bringing our puppy along. Can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Brunch, brunch, brunch and this is a top brunch stop. Warning, it fills up fast. By 10.30 on a Sunday morning there was a queue. The tables are close together, but not overly so. As in the waiters had enough space to get past without ever having to ask us to move our seats. The upstairs is my kind of place, perfect for people watching and with fairy lights! For brunch I had eggs benedict with salmon, the hollandaise and poached eggs were both perfection. A really nice americano to accompany it! My only very slight niggle was that they don't have any syrups for lattes, but that's it. The service and food were both eggcellent :P read more

Cafezique - Granola with parfait and yoghurt. (Could have done with a slightly larger granola portion) - Delis Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I've eaten breakfast in Cafezique twice over the last couple of months, having been impressed enough the first time to visit again. Both times have been mid-morning on a Saturday, and despite it being pretty busy, we've always managed to get a table. It is quite a small restaurant, seating and tables can feel a bit cramped. Both times we've been seated straight away and service has been prompt both times. The food itself - for breakfast - is very good, however it does feel slightly overpriced for what it is, which is my only gripe. The bread they use is amazing and the french toast here is a really good dish. The coffee is also excellent. Would definitely recommend for breakfast/brunch in the west of Glasgow, but don't expect it to be a cheaper option! read more

This was my first time (though I've been meaning to come for a long time). It was very busy and we had to wait for a table, but I was expecting that and the wait wasn't long. We sat at the bar and had drinks whilst we looked at the menu. The seating is pretty tight and its a busy, buzzing place. I had Eggs Royale and my partner had Eggs Benedict. They tasted excellent with perfectly cooked eggs and hollandaise sauce. Unfortunately, the food was just lukewarm and cold pretty quickly, which was such a shame as it tasted so good. Another slight gripe, and I feel churlish for mentioning it, but I asked if the Orange juice was fresh and the waitress said yes. At £3 for a glass I felt that was ok for freshly squeezed juice. However, I soon realised it was from a carton. I also noticed that the glasses were packed with large ice cubes, meaning that there was probably less than 100ml of juice. I asked if I could have less juice but when it was brought it was, indeed, packed full of juice. So, I found that disappointing and overpriced for what it actually was. I'll definitely return, hopefully when it is a little quieter. The lunch menu sounded so appetising and they clearly cook fresh and use excellent, quality ingredients. The wine list is also good. read more

Cafezique - Delicious flavours and perfectly cooked eggs and Hollandaise. - Delis Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Popped in here for brunch with my boyfriend & 6 month old niece. Despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon, the staff were more than helpful to rejig things about to fit the buggy in. I opted for the vegetarian breakfast - mainly because it had halloumi on offer! I opted to add on a side of sobrasada too, which was a great addition to this meat free choice. It was a huuuuge plate with the biggest slice of homemade toast to top it off. I went for the scrambled eggs which were so creamy and delicious. The winner on this plate though was the homemade beans - I think it was the cinnamon through them that made them perfect! My boyfriend went for the BLT which he said was a huge portion & really tasty. It came with the salad of the day: orzo, apple, walnuts and feta which was gorgeous! All in all for our meals, a pint and a soft drink this came to about £30. Expensive for a brunch/lunch but considering the fresh produce and location we were delighted. Will definitely be back! read more

Hmm, guess it was just me having a bad day but I did not enjoy the visit to the Cafe. Easter Friday, middle of the afternoon, upstairs, what can go wrong with a BLT...well it was all T and when you cast the excess aside there wasn't much left. Disappointing. Companions were happy with their meals read more

Came here at the weekend for a breakfast to line the stomach before the rugby after hearing a lot of good things (and also walking past every single day!). I wasn't left disappointed. Having walked past every weekend, this place is always mega busy, and this Saturday wasn't any different. Despite this we luckily got a seat quickly, though it was a bit cramped for the 4 of us. The breakfast menu has quite a lot of options on it, with some of the egg dishes sounding pretty tasty. As we're all greedy, we went for the full breakfast which came with 2 eggs, 2 bacon rashers, beans, a big potato scone, toast, black pudding, tomato and mushroom. Despite it being very busy, the food arrived very quickly. Coffees were very tasty, as was the fresh orange. The breakfast itself was brilliant, everything tasted amazing. The bacon in particular was outstanding. I'd come back here for sure for the breakfast, will have to come again to try the dinner menu. read more

Cafezique is my local restaurant, and as it happens (handily), my favourite. Although the wife and I eat here around once a month, a meal here on Saturday night was just so bloody good I had to write a review to cement the point. The service has always been nigh on faultless in my experience, and the other night this was no exception. The menu changes regularly, has a good mix of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, but if they ever have the pork and black pudding burger on when you're there, have it. The best thing I've ever eaten, and better than Burger Meats Bun or any of those places in the city centre. To be honest, have anything, because it's all effing wonderful. read more

I went here for a brunch with a friend, who had her 20 month old daughter with her. The staff were accommodating and got us a high chair and everything sorted quite quickly. We ended up both having the same dish, the Eggs Black, poached eggs on toast, with spinach and black pudding. It was amazingly delicious! We both had coffee and an orange juice was ordered for the wee one, who was given bits of mummy's toast too. We were able to sit and chat for a good 40 odd minutes after we had finished without being hurried out by the staff (I think they were too enthralled cooing at baby lol!) and it was a lovely, soft, cushiony seating area we were in. Lovely atmosphere, nice coffee and freshly pressed juice too. Will be going back to try the main menu sometime soon! read more

This was my second time at Cafezique, the first time was on the first Yelp Brunch outing and I was dying to go back ever since. Cafezique is ALWAYS busy during the weekend and you have to wait for a table. When we went in around 12, we were asked to wait at the bar area, we ordered drinks and after around 10 minutes, we were told there were seats upstairs for us. I had never been upstairs before, it's rather small but not as cramped as downstairs which is a bonus! I ordered the exact same thing, Fresh Orange Juice, Latte and a Full Breakfast. The order came faster than I was expecting due to how busy the place was and for the most part, it was as good as I remembered. This time, my poached eggs were even runny! A grumble though, the bread they use goes rather hard when they toast it (I saw them griddling the bread, which was rather strange!). My teeth couldn't cope with biting it so much. Cafezique is a tad on the pricey side, but to me, that's just West End pricing for you and I will be back for brunch again! read more

I keep forgetting about Cafezique as Hyndland is not an area where I tend to hang out much. It's the perfect place for a light cafe lunch with table service. A very pleasant atmosphere with a nice range of tasty dishes with fresh ingredients revealed in the ever changing specials board (an old school revolving blackboard). I should really come here more often... read more

Decided on the Glasgow fair Monday to catch up with my friend and treat her to a wee tea and cake. Zique always has a great range of cakes available but there wasn't as many on display this day for some reason. I ended up going for just some shortbread, which was lovely and buttery. My friend had a white chocolate and raspberry Blondie, which she thoroughly enjoyed. But with two very small cakes, one cup of earl gray and a pink lemonade costing me £10! I thought it was a little over priced for what we got. read more

Wandered in here out of the rain recently with both my fussiest and least fussiest friends. This combination often leads to a frazzled argument when it comes to deciding where to have lunch but this time around, they both made the same suggestion and I decided (probably wisely) not to rock the boat. It's a wee bit out the way of the main drag, and I found the menu was pretty limited. Having said that, the choices were decent and the burger I ended up choosing was close to being the size of my face! It was well cooked without verging into that dangerously overdone territory (though not quite as medium as I'd have liked). I refrained from anything sweeter than a lovely Hendricks and Tonic for afters, but I am reliably informed by fussy and not fussy that the cakes are ''to die for''. They both had two each, which is proof enough I think. It's a lovely airy wee space and all in, a pleasant space to spend a lunchtime in. read more

The name suggests that this place is a cafe but really it has more of a bistro type feel about it. Behind the large bar is an open plan kitchen and I always find that reassuring! If an establishment is happy to let you see them at work in the kitchen then that means they are proud of what they are doing which is always a good thing! Having the mezzanine level up above is great use of the little space they have here and creates a lovely cozy atmosphere. As previous reviewers have mentioned Cafezique is a great place to go for breakfast, lunch or brunch as they bake all the rolls and scones freshly every morning at neighbouring Delizique! The evening menu changes constantly but I have eaten at Cafezique a few times and have never been disappointed. They use mostly organic ingredients and I am a complete carnivore however I am often tempted into having one of the delicious and unusual veggie options they offer because they just sound so yummy! read more

I have been here multiple times for evening meals as it is my parent's local. The reasons for returning so many times? Brilliant food...Relaxed yet buzzing atmosphere...Friendly and accommodating staff! The fairy lights, music and old photograph prints really set the place off meaning I often forget I am in glasgow. To name a few I have tried the mussels in a traditional creamy sauce, honey sesame chicken wings and mackerel paté which have all been delicious. A must-go spot for dinner. read more

It is with some disappointment that I have to give Cafe Zique a mere three stars. I used to live around the corner from this place, and when I moved in I thought "Well, that's the local sorted", but it wasn't to be. Firstly, it looks great and the space is really charming. You walk past and you are immediately drawn to the place. Secondly, the place is always full on a weekend. You can't argue with that, can you? If the food was poor, people would vote with their feet. So, why did I leave Cafe Zique feeling pretty underwhelmed? I have to admit, I was expecting a proper hearty Scottish Breakfast and that is kinda what I got. But when you shell out best part of £10, you don't expect to leave hungry, which I did. Also, if I pay £1.50 for a side portion of baked beans, it would be nice to get a "portion" and not a small dish with two spoonfuls of beans in. I should point out that the service was friendly and didn't betray any sense of stress at the number of customers who were waiting for food (the place was hoaching), and the coffee was and continues to be excellent. Expectations can be a funny thing, and it feels like as soon as you go in expecting X, you are disappointed when you get Y. I am sorry to say I left feeling decidedly "meh" about Cafe Zique. read more

Great food & wine. Limited menu but always top quality ingredients. Where Super Ted thinks they may improve a little is the organisation of the table service, which is often a tad chaotic. A confession here - I was once not charged for a piece of cake, and didn't fess up at the time, and I am still feeling guilty about it.. read more

stopped by this afternoon for a pint and a few nibbles - the chips with chilli, spring onion, parmesan and something else that I can't remember were amazing, as was a cheesy melt that we tried. The staff are lovely and friendly, and service was super speedy. Nice atmosphere too - chilled out, without being boring :) read more

I wanted to try the traditional Scottish breakfast, so my Glaswegian friend brought me here. Although he said Cafezique is known for Eggs Benedict, I wanted to try the big breakfast. It came with sausage, bacon, 2 eggs, baked beans, black pudding, potato scone, and a tomato and mushroom. All the ingredients were fresh and quality. It was my first time having black pudding (blood and oats) it was flavorful, but mentally I couldn't do it haha, fun to try though. The potato scone, which was a thin potato pancake, was really good. It was a hearty and not greasy breakfast, I could not finish it all. read more

I had the best French Toast with bacon and maple syrup ever! Would highly recommend this place for Brunch. It can be quite difficult to get a table over the weekend and we have tried to eat here a few times before with no success. If you are familiar with American Psycho, this place has attained a 'Dorsia'-esque status for us. This time we did not get a table but sat at the bar area right in front of the kitchen which I liked as it feels quite intimate and you can chat to the staff behind the bar. However it was incredibly busy so they had plenty to be getting on with! My friend had poached eggs on toast which looked OK but not all that fantastic. Another friend had Mac and Cheese and said it was incredible. Its quite expensive so most likely somewhere I would re-visit as an indulgent treat rather than a weekly regular. Could do with more space but they have friendly and helpful staff and good food. In my opinion they have got the two most important areas covered! read more

Nom. nom. nom. That's how tasty it is, and how much we love Cafezique and the simplicity of it. The boyfriend and I love living in the West End after our brief stint in very busy City Centre. En route to Cottier's we passed Cafezique, which was all lit up from within. It was cute and charming, and we vowed to try it at the first chance we had. Since then we've been a number of times... and all times when it was gorgeous sunny weather (score!). Every time we have gone to Cafezique, we always sit along the window ledge... good for soaking in the sun and people watching. The food is fresh and tasty, and atmosphere chillaxed. The service can sometimes be slow and/or inattentive, but if you're not in a rush or starving, then it doesn't really matter. Regardless, the boyfriend and I will be back... again and again and again. read more

I've visited Cafezique twice now for breakfast - I don't know why, because the evening menu looks far more exciting! Regardless, it was certainly good enough to tempt me back a second time - it's got such a cool set out, with an upper level that overlooks the ultra-modern lower bar, and the food was yummy - but it was a little expensive for the old student budget, so I haven't been since. Which is a real pity... maybe when my income rises to match my location in the west end, I'll join the hoards of hungry public that give this place it's atmoshpere and acoustics - customer chatter bounces off the abundance of glass and wood and gives the place its lively, buzzing air. And when I do, I'm gonna take advantage of the awesome looking specials. Yummm. read more

Cafezique c'est magnifique? Oui? Okay, French isn't my strong point, so I'll see it in Scots - it's pure magic, by the way! You can put the Glasgwegian in the fancy caffe but you cannae put the fancy caffe in the Glasgow lassie! What you can do though is put the very fancy food in my belly. Glasgow plays host to deli's like this and what I love about having a munch in these places is the stuff they sell in their deli mostly gets used in their ingredients, too. So on offering today was homemade jam, mackeral pate (not together!!), a variety of salads....altogether super good for you, and very tasty to boot. We visited around lunchtime so the breakfast menu was available and they really know how to make a posh brunch. My friend had toast on Bloomer bread and although it's something very simple, they put a classy spin on it with the gorgeously toasted bread and varieties of jam. Yum yum. I liked the layout of this place, the huge panel windows allow a lot of light in, and it's quite rustic inside. With the downstairs having more of a bar layout than the tables upstairs it looks like it can make the easy transition come nightfall of becoming a hip restaurant and bar. They had some good quality booze on their gantree, including Ameretto, so it looks like a nice place to come on a dinner date. But with nice staff, a chilled out atmosphere and benches placed outside for the summer months, I will also be returning during the day. read more

I've developed a bit of an obsession of eating out for breakfast and I have heard good things about here so decided to see what the fuss was about. Staff were really nice when I arrived and let me choose where I wanted to sit. I decided to order the big breakfast with avocado added in. It was lovely and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the tattie scone was massive. The only issue I had was I asked for it without mushroom and it came with it and they forgot my black pudding. I'd definitely go back though. read more

Cafezique - Big breakfast - Delis Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I stumbled across this little beauty by accident and I have to admit in the 2months since I did find it I have dragged my fiance and a friend here for brunch, lunch and drinks. I cannot fault this place or the staff. 1 note to mention, my fiance generally orders the french toast and bacon for brunch and feels 2 small pieces of bacon is a little small. I thoroughly recommend the eggs benedict, mackerel and beetroot pate and haloumi salad. Cannot recommend Cafezique or Delizique enough!! read more

A few years ago before I moved to Glasgow (from America via a 3-year stint in Edinburgh) Cafezique was recommended to me by a (foodie-)trusted colleague. Before I had even ventured out to my neighbourhood eateries in my then home in Dennistoun, I made the trek to Hyndland to visit Cafezique and it was love at first bite! The menu at Cafezique fuses Mediterranean styles and flavours with pure comfort. There's a range of menu options from small bites to proper meals so it's great for a light bite and a bottle of wine but also for a dinner with friends. Wine drinkers will be happier than the beer-only members of the group, but the options for both beverages are always tasteful with just enough variety to catch just about everyone. I'd say one of the stronger qualities of the restaurant is its excellent taste - and I'm not just saying that because it's to my taste - genuinely the menu and wine list and layout and service all seem well thought-out by someone who cares about the whole dining experience. There's limited seating so not great for big groups or prime meal times (better to call ahead for Sunday brunch time or weekends dinner time). For a while this was my go-to anytime I scrounged up the cash to eat out or when the parentals came to visit. I have even recommended holiday housing based on geographic proximity to Cafezique (yes, I am that obsessed). Though it has always been well-received by out-of-towners for food quality and options, the mother is not too keen about the mezzanine seating, which she finds too cramped and a bit too warm positioned over the kitchen. I agree that it's ideal to get a downstairs table (especially for window-watching creepers like myself) but the cosy upstairs seating where you can smell everything that's going on in the kitchen and sit elbow to elbow with the next table I find, in THIS PARTICUALR CONTEXT, very charming - like a bustling European bistro in a cosmopolitan city in Greece or North Africa or maybe Turkey or southern Spain. Though I don't want to downplay Cafezique as a neighbourhood foodie spot - it definitely has a notable Glasgowesque atmosphere. I can't imagine finding quite this combination of features anywhere else in the world. But that's enough gushing about the look and feel lest I forget THE FOOD! The menu, like any menu for a self-respecting bistro in this town, changes with the seasons, so have a look at their website if you want to see the current offerings. In an effort to explore more places in Glasgow, it's been a few months since I've visited but a go-to or recommendation in the past was a broth-based dish with noodles and pak choi spiced up with a little chilli. I've also enjoyed risotto with chicken and broad beans, parmesan polenta chips, eggs josé (with sobrasada YUM!), and anything they do with goat's cheese. And the cakes! I won't tell you what to do when it comes to cake, except to try one! Delizique next door is a great option if your priority is cake and you have no patience for the other stuff. While I may wax romantic about Cafezique, perhaps charmed by my early days in Glasgow, it really is a quality eatery and I highly recommend that anyone who loves food give it a try! Happy eating!

Decent cappuccinos, delicious cakes, and a list long choice for eggs benedict. From the servers, manager, kitchen workers, all are friendly faces with a sweet disposition. For brunch, I had the crab eggs (eggs benny w/ crab meat). I was slightly disappointed when it came out because there wasn't much sauce and the crab was hard to make out. But when I did get a bite of the crab meat, it was deliciously fresh and briny with a textured bite. The muffin part is akin to a sourdough base and comes embedded with poppy seeds. I was impressed that they do a crab eggs benedict in the first place, after having tasted it I can say Im impressed with the quality of crab. For dessert, was the New York cheesecake. I have had many cheesecakes in my day, and this one was the most unique version of it. It was much more crumbly than creamy.. more cottage cheesy & ricotta instead of cream cheese. I can't say I really liked it but I appreciated it tasted finely made from scratch. Cappuccino was good and we had a lovely afternoon munching away while catching up. Caught a glimpse of a crab pasta for lunch, eyeing that one for the next time around! read more

This is my favorite place to have breakfast, I always get the eggs florentine and a side of bacon. It's fresh, full of flavor and I get perfectly poached eggs every time! The flat white is also a good choice, or the bloody mary! read more

Yummy food and really friendly service. We got the big breakfast (a wide variety of eats: sausage, bacon, toast, some potato pancake-like thing, two eggs, grilled tomato, Etc.) and an herb crepe with smoked salmon and lemon Creme Fraiche. It was good eats. Seemed like a popular spot to eat. There is also a bakery/deli place right next door (their sister store) where you can get good sweets (or u can order as part of your meal). Tried the beet root cake. Real yum, similar to carrot cake with hazelnuts. read more

Best coffee in Glasgow (although I can only judge from places that serve soy milk). Significantly so now that Biblocafe has gone. It's also quite different from other coffee that I've tasted. Top marks for this. Last time I was in there it was very very hot for no clear reason. What deters me from almost ever going here is how it's laid out. Everyone is crammed up against one another and it ends up feeling very impersonal. However, that's more of a critique for downstairs - upstairs is better in this regard. The closeness of the tables makes the whole place feel quite messy to me though. Others don't feel as strongly about this though. Oh yeah, and maybe because it feels that there are so many people, maybe for some other reason, it's hard to feel noticed by the staff, which adds to how impersonal it feels. I want to come somewhere that is imbued with the character of the place and the people there, and I just don't get that second element for some reason. read more
