Part of the Newlands Bakery complex, this deli has a strange mixture of kosher bread, chutneys and…read moremeats, as well as some pastry covered hot take away food that seems to owe more to a generic bakery than a bijoux delicatessen. It isn't really worth getting a quick snack from here: better to stock up on the speciality bread and some interesting cheese, and make something at home. The cold cuts are appetising, and the inevitable "Scottish Preserves" are spot on: plenty of choice, good quality, fair prices. It doesn't quite come up to the quality of the delicatessens at the top end of the road, but it does have the best bread.

Warning: this review contains gratuitous cheese references…read more Deli Zola recently opened in the place of Deli 1901 and after reading Debs M's review I just knew I had to get along there, quick smart. The boards outside show a few interesting specials to tempt you inside - rose lamb hotpot with garlic bread, vegetable stew as well as some breakfast-type options of scrambled eggs. Inside it's nicely decorated - not too over the top with the Frenchness but there's a lovely chandelier, loads of seating, and a generally pretty cosy vibe. There's a deli section which has a chilled stacked with cheeses and meat, as well as pre-made croissants and baguettes. There's also a shelf of jarred French delights like marinated garlic, truffled mushrooms, terrine, goose fat etc, plus fresh breads, quiches and Christmas hampers. As you can probably tell, they've managed to pack a lot into this deli! I was keen to try the Croque Monsieur so asked to get one takeaway. They offered to heat it up for me but seeing as I wasn't going straight home I got it cold. They wrapped it in foil for me and gave me heating instructions which was handy. While I was waiting for my sandwich I gave into the temptation on the counter and grabbed a couple of pastries for £1.50 each (pastel de nata). Now - confession time - I did actually buy two of these and one was meant to be for my husband, but I ate them both. Woops. They were just divine, the crispy caramelised top was too much for me to resist. And I don't even have a sweet tooth. I also got a wedge of Gruyere (who can resist a cheese counter?) which wasn't bad value at £19/kg, and off I went on my way. I warmed up my sandwich in the oven when I got home and can confirm that it was just as delicious as it looks - cheesy, creamy, crispy and delicious. Yum. I want another one right now actually.

Magnifique! When I heard about this wee place opening I was…read morevery pleased indeed - a French deli? Oui s'il vous plait!!! Then when I discovered they sell one of my favourite French dishes ever, the humble Croque Monsieur, I knew I had to get myself down there. Popped in for a flying visit today and I definitely wasn't disappointed - it was bigger than I was expecting and was definitely a nice, cosy place to come into out of the cold! It was pretty busy considering it was about 3pm on a Sunday and had such a lovely atmosphere, really chilled out and just seemed like a good place to relax. I went up to the counter to place my order (to take away) and was told it'd be 4 minutes, nice and specific! I had a wee nosey while I was waiting and all the produce looks so very tasty. They had French cheeses and saucissons, as well as quiches, pastries, bread...among other things - mmm! The staff were very attentive and friendly, can't fault the service at all. The Croque Monsieur itself was totally delicious! I was determined to make it home before I ate it but I ended up scoffing half of it when I got in my car cause it smelled so good!! They also had the Moulin Rouge soundtrack playing when I was in which I loved, that's a plus for me! Definitely going to go back (hopefully sooner rather than later!) so I'll write an update on what the sit-in service is like too - can't imagine it'll be bad though!

In light of Chris' FTR pushes, and a couple great coffee drinks at this place, I finally managed to…read morepick up a flyer with the Arturo's address and phone number on it so I could review. While this is a relatively wee deli, it has quite a good amount of speciality food stocked, from Scottish products and fresh organic bread from Tapa in Dennistoun to dry and preserved goods from the continent. There's a wee cheese/meat/olives/salads counter, and I can say without a doubt that the Brie they have in is first-rate stuff. The coffee here is first-rate. The owner makes all the drinks, and he must know what he's about, because the espresso is fabulous, with a lovely roast. They also do daily specials in sandwiches and soup, usually containing the same products they sell. I've not had anything to eat in yet, but there's a counter and a couple of tables to sit at, should you want to. And, on top of all that, the prices are pretty reasonable (within deli standards), and the whole place is cheery and tidy. All in all, it's good to see an indie deli in this part of town, as Mount Florida's not got any others. To have it be a good one is even better!

Still a fan after having eaten here almost a year ago. After a crazy workout, the boyfriend and I…read moredecided to clean up and head over to Gusto & Relish for a bit of breakfast to start off our anniversary morning with a bang. We looked at the menu at a few places around the area, but decided that Gusto & Relish was the winner. Trying not to negate the workout we had, I attempted to order something more on the healthy side. I'm not sure that worked since I ordered the french toast with maple syrup and last minute decided I wanted to try their veggie haggis. I could see the disappointment in my boyfriends heart, being a true lover of haggis, but I do quite like the veggie option when I can get it. He went for scrambled eggs, a fried egg, beans and toast and a coffee. When our food came out, I was a bit put off the way they piled the veggie haggis on top of my sweet french toast, but I ate it first and got on with it. I made my boyfriend try the veggie haggis, and much to my surprise, although he said he'd never actually order it, he didn't hate it. I quite enjoyed it and the massive amount they gave me actually filled me up before I even started on my french toast. The french toast was a massive portion. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but the slices of toast were really thick and perfectly cooked. The wee pot of syrup that came along could have been a bit bigger, but that's just me being a greedy American wanting my french toast covered in syrup. I would have also loved some powdered sugar (icing sugar as they call it here) and it would have been the best. Needless to say, it was still really great and super filling. I ended up giving a piece to my boyfriend unable to finish the three pieces. The boyfriend quite liked his eggs, beans and toast, but didn't enjoy his coffee one bit. I even tried it- it was very acidic and bitter. I wouldn't have been able to drink it, but my boyfriend drank it like a champ. All in all, our breakfast was delicious and the service was great. While we were waiting for our food, we noticed they have a bunch of Scottish goods for sale, which was great to see. For any of you looking for Suki teas, (I've been on the hunt and have found they're only sold online) they sell a few here. Yay!

I was in for some food but just made a super quick decision when I saw the menu - Eggs Florentine with added spinach. What can I say, I'm a bit addicted to Eggs Benny and all its variations. This place is really nice inside - classier than your average cafe and pretty cosy. The breakfast tea was delicious and service was warm and friendly. I loved the presentation of the eggs - generous with a lovely rocket salad on the side and an added side which I think was a potato scone (I ate it too quickly to remember properly). The only reason I have to dock a star is that the muffins were burnt in parts which I know sometimes happen but my god I hate a burnt muffin. The rest of the dish was just lovely though and I really enjoyed it. Prices are reasonable for the area, and as I said, the staff are really friendly. They don't seem to have a huge deli section (as mentioned in some other reviews) but that wouldn't put me off going back for lunch or breakfast. Also, it looks like they don't have a customer toilet but if you ask the staff, they'll point you behind the counter and past the kitchen down the stairs.

The coffee is good, the sandwiches are lovely and filling, but best of all is the soup! My boyfriend claims it is the finest soup in Glasgow and, true enough, be it a broth or a blend, it's all good. Plus they give you a cut up baguette for dipping. Not just a piece of bread... a baguette! A word of warning though, when you first go to Loafers, be careful what you order to drink because that is what you'll get served from then on. I don't particularly like Fanta but that is my lot in life.

I went to loafers today for the first time since it has been taken over. I like to support local…read morebusinesses and have been to loafers quite a lot over the last ten years that I have lived in mount Florida. It has been redecorated and was looking good. I ordered the soup and sandwich deal which was £5.50. Seemed reasonable for a local cafe. However, what arrived at the table was the biggest disappointment ever. The lentil soup was really tasteless and the vegetables in it were like mush. The only thing I could liken it to was tinned lentil soup from the 1980s. So much so I literally couldn't eat it despite being really hungry. It was accompanied by a peri peri chicken and cheese baguette. The chicken peri peri was cold cubes of reconstituted chicken with a slimy cold peri peri sauce on it. It was very very low grade/quality food that left me feeling quite squeamish for the rest of the day. It is inexcusable to serve up such low quality for these prices. Despite telling the waitress/owner that the soup was inedible, there was no offer of a discount which leaves me thinking that she was satisfied with the quality of what she was serving up. It's a real shame.

Lovely wee, wee, wee all the way home deli....sorry, too much coffee (jitter, jitter, twitch,…read morejitter) Aye so, this is quite the littlest of little places that is more deli and sandwich takeaway than sitty down eat type joint. Now there area couple of high chairs at the window, but if like me you prefer to be closer to the deck when your eating then this wont appeal. With a lovely collection of organic, free rangey, fair trade, raised by monks in the Himalayas on rice cakes, wheat free wheat and green tea type stuff, this looks to be a nice wee place to pick yourself up a treat every now and again (it was pretty damn hard to leave this place without some of the organic raspberry jam they had....tough tough tough) Aye so, i reckon this is a nice joint o pick up a sandwich on the go or maybe some soup, however its never going to be my first choice to grab a sit down coffee from. Nice, cute and pleasant staff.

I had a wee bit of hope that this cafe would be a gem in my hood but alas, tis not. It's just ... ok? I wouldn't go out of my way to go here unless I really needed to, like if I was late for work and didn't have a packed lunch. I've sat in here for breakfast once. The lady behind the counter is alright, at times she seems a bit cold but then again, it's early in the morning so I don't expect everyone to be a ray of sunshine haha. The baked goods are ok, some quite sweet but still not bad! Croissants are baked fresh every day so at least thats good! The coffee however is really quite atrocious. If you want coffee, walk another 5-10 mins to Tapa and don't be lazy by ordering from here cause I really think it's a wast of perfectly good money lol. The pasta they have made is not bad. I packed something with tomato sauce and some sausages in it for takeaway and it was quite good although pretty sure it wasn't fresh and made the day before. Still ok if you need a last minute packed lunch! Verdict : it's ok but wouldn't go out of my way to go for a visit. They sell some dried food like pasta and French stuff so perhaps just to buy stuff like that? Don't order coffee lol
