Coming off my flights from JFK via AMS, I had only had about two hours of sleep and boy was I…read moretired. Exiting the international arrivals hall, I immediately spied this welcome beacon of coffee. I dashed to the counter, ordered my Americano and received it pronto. It was hot and full of caffeine...just what the doctor ordered. The service was friendly and faster than any other service I received in Glasgow. The two staff members there kept the place tidy and there was a plug by my table where I was able to charge my gadgets. This coffee shop is at the right place at the right time. I am a fan.

This is the perfect spot to stop for a quick lunch near Paisley's high street. The Grumpy Monkey…read moreserves fairly typical cafe fare - think toasties, paninis and baked potatoes and has a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. They offer table service, a sign near the counter encourages you to help yourself to a seat and they'll come to take your order, which they do quite quickly. I ordered a tuna melt panini which came with a small side salad and some crisps. I would have ordered a latte but their coffee machine was broken, which the waitress was very apologetic about, so I ordered tea instead. Everything was reasonably priced and I didn't wait long for it. I noticed that they advertise all their soups as being gluten free and that they offer gluten free bread if you ask for it. They also had a lot of veggie options available. The cafe gets quite a lot of natural light, thanks to the big windows that line one wall of it, and, although I couldn't figure out how to connect to the WiFi, I think it would be a good place to work or read.

The dough that makes the 'roll' was my favourite part, almost like a crisp pastry dough. I followed my lunch with a wonderful almond raspberry tart. Yum! This time I'm trying the mushroom toast! I will let you know how it is!

I love Grace and Favour, admittedly I have only had cake and coffee on a couple of visits so far but from this alone I absolutly recommend it. Firstly the cake options are beautiful, and I was very happy to find they, on occasion, have gluten free/dairy free. I was fortunate to try the dairy free chocolate cake - amazzing!!! Coffee is by Dear Green, a little mild for my liking bit still enjoyable. The menu sounds utterly delicious and seems to have a fair selection of healthy option so I will soon be back to try this. The decor is stunning, staff have always been very friendly and chatty. A new great find, I will most deffinetly be back......soon!!

Just thought I would do a quick review of the Costa Coffee that is situated within the Golden…read moreJubilee hospital. Let's start with the good points: Having a stand-alone coffee shop within a hospital is a really good idea & also it has a nice, airy feel about it. Situated not far from the main entrance of the hospital (through the very fancy airport style waiting area/reception, take a right then a sharp left) this Costa has great potential not only for those visiting but also staff members. But I was soon to be disappointed...walked in expecting to be able to get my usual fave (Cortado with soya milk) and also pick up a few cheeky loyalty card points to boot ~ sounded like a great plan!...then I walked in and saw the (very limited) menu...this was no ordinary CC! Bad news came thrice fold ~ no Cortado. No soya milk. No loyalty cards allowed to be used. Whit?! I was pure stumped. Lady serving asked me what I wanted and I actually stood opened mouth, scratching my head for a good (and very awkward) 10 seconds. Duh. I opted for a small cappuccino. The prices were crazy though! For a small cappuccino they were charging £2.15 *gulp* Although I must say that their 'small' was most certainly not small...so on noting that I asked for my cappuccino to be 'dry' (more foam; less milk) which she actually managed really well (I say this because many coffee shops struggle with this 'dry' concept...) The coffee itself was okay; not as nice as other C.Coffee's I've had but I know a good cup of coffee can depend on a lot of different factors. It done the trick although I was already a wee bit sad that I couldn't get my usual...bah. The seating facilities were fine, I was taking away so cannot comment too much. Didn't see much in the way of food but then again I wasn't particularly looking for eats. What could be a great wee coffee shop was let down by it's very limited menu & lack of acknowledgement of their Costa loyalty cards ~ I think that's a bit cheeky, especially considering the prices you are paying for a coffee in this cafe. Hmph. GJH CC you failed me. :-(

I sat on a couch at the back but there were lots of seats on some decking outside that I wanted to enjoy but the Glasgow weather would not allow it!!

Odd to review this place as it's situated in the building I work in but as I eat there every day…read moreit's about time I covered it. For a while R34 was a restaurant and got good reviews for the quality and style of the food. It was open on Friday and Saturday evenings and the press cuttings on the wall suggest it was initially successful. Unfortunately the location has been the restaurants downfall. After the initial flurry of interest they've slowly and surely cut back the opening hours to the point where, today, they are better viewed as a budget restaurant or meal focused cafe that is only open during the week (and office working hours at that). The food is ok. Open for fairly standard breakfast offerings (think roll and sausage or toast) and at lunch there is a choice of three hot dishes, as well as a sandwich bar, soup of the day and a scattering of cakes. Due to the location, the bulk of the customers come from within the building (like myself) or another nearby office. Most afternoons will see some people popping in for a, reasonably good, coffee. The building warrants a mention, as R34 is housed within the India of Inchinnan building, a (listed) art deco frontage with a modern verdigris and glass dominated extension, which is most famous for being the site where airships used to be built (hence the R34 name). As for the cafe, there isn't much in the way of competition (Erskine and Renfrew not exactly hot spots when it comes to cafes and restaurants) so from that point of view it's good to have something dependable in the local area. If you are passing, and you'll spot the building as it's very distinctive, it's not a bad spot for a coffee or a quick bite to eat. Also, you might bump into me! (wait, that's not a selling point...).

Did not realize Yelp made it to Scotland :)…read more An American in Scotland (albeit for only three days); Was in this building a few weeks a go for a business meeting at our Glasgow Office. We had them cater coffee and tea for the 7 of us and well as small finger sandwiches for lunch. I really love coffee (black) and tea (plain, no sweetener or cream) and usually don't get very good of either BUT have to say they provided what I have to say is the best cup of coffee I have had in many many years, maybe ever. Maybe ever is a pretty strong statement but have to say it was a joy then enjoy. Not too bold, very smooth, totally enjoyable. The finger sandwiches very very good with a very UK'ish selecting of meat and veggie finger sandwiches. Did not try breakfast or other foods while I was there BUT looking forward to a return trip.....

I came here with the other half yesterday for some breakfast, we initially ordered a roll and links and potato scone but to our dismay they haven't sold link for around a year but it's still on the menu, so a roll and square it was! To sum it up quickly, UPDATE THE MENU PLEASE as some items are no longer sold and some of the prices say they are more expensive that what they are. I still love ya Malatso!

You will not get a Michelin star level of service, the food will not be delicate and subtle, nor will it win awards and that's all a-ok with me! We were in this part of Paisley whilst I was getting a punctured fixed so I wasn't in the best of moods as it was, but isn't it amazing what a cheery welcome and a smile will do for your mood! It was mid-morning so we had the place to ourselves for a caffeine and breakfast, but I won't hesitate to pop in next time I'm in the area... in fact given how good some of the cakes on display looked I may even go out of my way to get some... er... cake research done. Our tea and coffee appeared swiftly, shortly followed by a breakfast rolls (bacon for Kirsty, sausage for me) which were just as quickly devoured! As far as breakfast rolls go they certainly hit the mark, and my coffee wasn't too bad at all, certainly better than I had expected! Definitely a wee hidden gem to have up your sleeve.

There are also some cafés and restaurants nearby serving Italian food, all-day breakfast, and more stereotypically British and Scottish food (including fish & chips and haggis). There was both eat-in and takeaway at Panopolis, with plenty of seating and outlets. I ordered the Original meat kebab for £6.95. It had a generous amount of meat and veggie filling and was quite spicy for my taste (but I have a bland palate). I enjoyed my kebab and found it to be pretty filling. It was also ready about 5 minutes after I ordered, so it's a good place to stop by if you haven't got that much time before your flight. If you dine in, they give you a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready for pick-up. There were bottled drinks, both alcoholic and not, for sale in the takeaway area. There's also a vegetarian kebab option. Both employees I interacted with were polite and friendly. I was able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. If you're in the mood for something tasty and filling while you're waiting for your flight, this is a good choice. The kebab isn't amazing, but it'll do the job. The price was a bit high for the size in my opinion, but I wasn't too surprised since it's in the airport.

Glaswegians, your cafes have definitely spoiled me and I can't find anything that compares to this in the U.S. When you walk in, you automatically get this cozy and warm feeling. Try to get a seat in the upstairs dining area, because this is where you will feel the most warmth. I also like sitting in the bar stools by the window because I like looking outside at the rain. If you find yourself waiting for a table, just take that time to browse the pastries, savory foods laid out, and even their selection of cookbooks. Their selection of cake and tarts change daily, but if they have leftovers one day then they serve the leftovers the next day until they are gone, but a lot of the time their pastries sell out on the first day. Bonus to this is that your pastries are definitely fresh! But the pastries still taste good even if they are a day old. Trust me. My go-to pastries were the Belgian Chocolate Cake or the vanilla custard tarts. This cake has hazelnuts inside of it and is served with raspberries, chocolate bits, dusted with sugar on top. If you love chocolate, this cake is the way to go. The vanilla custard tarts reminded me of home (because I would get Egg Tarts at Chinese bakeries and this vanilla custard tart tasted just like a egg tart) The only difference is that the tart at Kember & Jones had flaky layers of crust, which made the tart even better. My go-to drinks are hot chocolate or the Moroccan Fresh Mint Tea. The hot chocolate is served with foam and little chocolate bits on top. The Mint tea is served in a clear glass, but it comes hot (which was weird because I didn't think you would serve hot drinks in a glass) but I understood why because it has a bunch of mint leaves in it that changes the color of the drink to a light tan. It's cute and if you have a sore throat, it will make you feel better. Other things that I have tried and loved were the Warm Waffle (because it was served with syrup and fresh fruit), the French Lemonade (It was pink lemonade with a little bit of sourness), and the macarons (They make different ones each week. Try all of them because they go fast! I have to say during Christmas time their Christmas pudding one tastes pretty good, too.) Last thing to note is that the staff is very nice. I never really feel pushed to leave. They are polite and attentive.
