It was a rainy day: drizzling : that consistency of rain that makes you feel a bit run down. I was met with the most delicious, warming coffee: a very smooth latte, that had such a lovely taste that there was no need for a drop of sugar. They were out of most of their pastries by the time I sat in--due to their popularity, I have no doubt. I chose one of their remaining items: a small cake that had a touch of lemon and a raspberry on top of a creamy frosting. It was delicious--a welcomed treat when I felt in need of a pick me up. I did not have a chance to test their food so am unable to comment. Do note however: This is a VERY small place. Cozy to be sure, but small and by no means for larger groups. It is ideal for the soloist and duos to come in and have a fairly quick coffee, cake, and food (I assume). This is NOT a place to study. There are no comfortable lounge chairs, chairs or tables. The seating is composed of stools that reside at two bars. It's kind of reminding me of Italian style cafes where you drink your espresso at the bar, across from the barista who just served it to you (though in Rome, they don't offer you stools even!). Given the level of their coffee and cake, I'll be back again soon.

A hidden gem on Duke Street, The Coffee House serves up a surprising selection of good food, from soup and sandwiches, to brunch and baked goods, which are decadent and delicious. Their coffee and cake deal is a bargain at £3.50, with generous servings that could feed two, if you can bear to share. The counter is always crammed with top-quality cakes and you can choose from a sinful selection to accompany your cuppa. If you fancy a bit of brunch, you can have all the trimmings, including eggs how you like them and Belgian waffles with bacon and syrup. My brunching boyfriend assured me that his bacon brunch was delicious and that the waffles were wonderfully fresh. Whatever your whim, The Coffee House is keen to cater and welcomes brunchers, coffee 'n' cake connoisseurs and lunch munchers. I'm glad it's in the east and has its feet firmly planted on the ground, with purse-pleasing prices and good mood food.

Laboratorio is a unique name for a coffee shop. We were greeted by a wonderful staff and noticed that they were quite busy at the time we visited. The store is small, with seating both inside and outside. They also have pastries available, but we ended up just getting the coffee. I ordered an iced latte, which was probably a mistake because it was a bit diluted and the coffee flavour was weaker. My partner got the hot version, and it was much better because you could taste the beans more clearly. Overall, I was very satisfied with the coffee. Just a reminder to avoid the iced latte next time! Good service and great coffee!

I had the eggs Benedict, which was the perfect portion, cooked to perfection, and left me wanting more. The sauce was light and mixed with the egg in a way that was just indescribable. The French toast with bacon offered a great mix of sweet and savory. Syrup was available if you wanted it, but honestly, you didn't need it. My wife had the fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy, cheesy, served over toast with bacon and hash browns. This is something she gets often, and she has had none better than the ones here. The service was excellent. It's not the biggest restaurant, but the tables seem to move fairly quickly, and they have outdoor seating on warmer days. The whole experience was a delightful way to start our day. So if you happen to be in Glasgow, Scotland, you have to check out the Wilton Street Pantry, you will not be disappointed!

The reservation that we made was worthwhile as they were booked past 1 PM when we arrived at 11:30 AM. They offered a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated inside and attended to right away. Our server was excellent the entire time we were there. The menu was condensed with some tempting choices. My wife opted for the Avocado Toast, which was loaded generously. She enjoyed it quite a lot. I tried the marinated cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, mozzarella, rocket, pesto and smoked almonds on toasted sourdough. I was likewise happy with my selection. I can also report that the coffee was very good. My wife had a Macchiato and said it was quite nice as well. Including the food, drinks and a small tip, the total bill was £36. At £18 per person, this was not cheap but I had no problem with the value. The experience including the food, the service and the vibe all added up to make this worth the cost. If we're in Glasgow again, we'd be happy to do brunch here again.

I was with our lovely Debs M. and we were waiting on David A. and Rob K. to join us. I swear it was like a Yelpers convention in there, we kept meeting Yelper after Yelper in there. Hehe!! The place is so airy and bright compared to Box of Delights which occupied here previously. I love the colour scheme and layout as it seems much bigger now. We found a wee seat while we waited on the guys, then we had one of the baristas, I presumed, sit at our table. It was a bit bizarre and he said 'yes?' We were at the time checking in on the Yelp app, we just explained we were checking in first then we were going to to order. Initially I wasn't sure if he was a member of staff or some random. Haha!! We explained what we were going to have and it seemed to end up with him taking an order. So, I'm not sure for future if you order and pay at the counter or if it is serviced tables. After our strange encounter, David and Rob joined us. As I was enjoying my mocha, in which I didn't take any sugar because I couldn't find any, it seemed rather nice. That's really unusual for me. Debs and I were wanting a wee glass of water so when I asked at the counter they pointed out a sink in the corner with some glasses piled up beside it. I thought this was a rather good idea. They have really thought this place through with their nifty ideas team and also installed plug sockets nearly everywhere that also have USB ports. Genius! Battery running low? Come here and grab some awesome food and great coffee. They also have WiFi so why not bring your office. Eh OK, maybe not your office but a laptop anyway. It's a pleasant atmosphere and I look forward to going back for maybe a wee spot of lunch.

Pal and I ordered two teapots: earl grey for me, apple crunch for her. We weren't hungry, but I wish we were cause the meringue and cream with berries sounds deelish!! Loved everything about this place; the welcoming and chatty owner with her retro hairdo, the 1940 s music in the background, the homy cosy feel, the cute china. Perfect for a comforting cuppa on a grey day. Will go back for more!

Decor, music, staff are all on theme, a wonderful mix of vintage pieces, from the china service, 50s rock n roll, and the 70s clock on the mantelpiece, it's a wonderful little treasure trove and many of the items are also available to buy. We had stopped in for a coffee to see what it was like but the lure of the home baking proved too much for us. The scones and cakes look heavenly, but my eyes were drawn to the large, glittery, meringues. Two puffy white clouds arrived, with a generous portion of whipped cream and a drizzle of strawberry sauce. The meringues were perfect! Crunchy and light on the outside and wonderfully sticky and chewy on the inside. Heaven!! My partner made short work of her scone and confirmed it was good with the universal "ok" sign made as she was too busy enjoying eating it to talk! The owner (I'm guessing) was friendly and happy to confirm she baked the meringues herself. It's cheap, cheerful, and well worth dropping in for a visit. The food is good (the menu is simple but that's no bad thing) and homemade, the service quick and friendly, and the vibe of the place is a fun and quirky mix of vintage from previous decades. So glad we dropped in!!

It's a wee space so keep that in mind when visiting - there's a wee table for two as well as a window seat where you could fit about 4 people. There's good tunes, a chilled-out, welcoming vibe and of course the delicious cakes. You can also get ginger ale (made in house), toast (with butter and jam, or cinnamon brulee) and soup. They offer free wifi and are happy for you to hang out for a wee while if you want to work away on your laptop, like I am right now. I grabbed a cup of tea and the cinnamon brulee toast which is just ridiculously delicious and tasty - and a good portion at two large slices for just £1.50. As I said, it's pay what you want but everything is marked with a price which at least gives you an idea of what you should be coughing up! The window space is great for watching cars go by too, if you need some time for brainstorming.

When I found out it was owned by an artist also using the cafe as a means to display her work/support her so she could work on her art, even better. I wasn't disappointed. Stan's serves hand filtered coffee, so you wont get a latte or a cappuccino here, but what you will get is an excellent, smooth coffee and cakes and bakes from the likes of Bakery47. So far I've tried a banana and peanut butter loaf, brownies and a rose and pistachio sponge cake - all delicious. It operates on a pay what you want basis, which I liked the idea of, but was a little daunted by before going in. I shouldn't have worried though, as suggested prices are displayed and you can just choose whether or not you want to add a little extra (which is nice to do, because art). If you're travelling from elsewhere keep in mind that it's teeny tiny and maybe only sits around 8 or so people, but I've always taken away (Alexandra Park is across the road if you fancy a picnic). The owner is very friendly and when you can't make it along in person, keep an eye on her social media - her Instagram hashtag #peoplewhostareintostans is a hilarious watch of people peering into the shop suspiciously from their cars at the traffic lights. Though I do worry I'll be one of them one day...peeking in to check out the cakes on display!
