I don't even like sandwiches and I loved this place!! Happened to walk by when thinking about lunch and this was perfect. They had me when I saw a sandwich named after Ottolenghi! Yes! Sign me up! I tried that one and the beet sandwich- both were delicious. A great lunch size and very filling. Would definitely go here again and feel lucky to have stumbled upon them! read more

Fast service with a range of really delicious vegetarian options. If you like spice, get the veggie banh mi!

Sandwiches in Glasgow can be well a bit blah. Lots of mayonnaise, little to no seasoning and the same options at every wee roll shop. Piece breaks the mid-day meal time monotony with gourmet sandwiches minus the pretension. Ingredients are hand-me on site and anything but blah. My go to favourite is the pastrami special. As an American I'm really picky about lunch meat and the pastrami is just amazing. At the urging of on of Piece's friendly staff I tried the Fat Boy, Dirty Style (with pickles) on my last trip and it was amazing. Egg mayo is normally on my no-go list since it's yellow and gloopy but Piece's is clearly freshly made with chunks of egg and lightly dressed in dijon mayo. Your choice of bread, a can of pop and it all comes in at under £5--you can't get a McDonald's meal for that! Amazing quality and value. Next on my list to try is the Tuna Niçoise--I think I'll give it a go on flatbread and add lemon mayo. That's the beauty you can add/delete and change to suit your tastes! I'm SUPER excited my new office is within walking distance! read more

Piece - Fat Boy Dirty Style - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Jeebus. Jeebus. Jeebus. Yeah, think that's probably the best way to start an update of this sandwich shrine to awesomeness. THe update on this review has in truth been a long tim ein coming. If truth be told, I'd probably not make the trek down to this location now that they've openend another wee place on the GWR. Perfect! But, chance would have it, I was down in this neck of the woods and in dire need of a spot o lunch. I was mulling over the options in the area (of which there are now so, so many) and the image and tastes of the egg salad, ham and cheese 'Fat Boy' popped into my head and kicked all the other images arse's. Now this is a sandwich. Having munched the humble sandwich in a number of locations throughout the world, I'd have to say that these guys churn out what has to be a very close second to those being made in San Francisco.. if not better. With fresh produce the key and the king for these guys, the grub just begs to be enjoyed, nearly as much as the banter from those working behind the counter. I like this place. I love the passion and dedication to good grub and I love the end result. Simple as that. Oh and since my initial review, they seem to have added a few more sitting options, so it feels more like somewhere you could set up with a coffee, a sandwich, oh and maybe a slice of cake (I'll save that for the next update!) and chill out. read more

Piece - Chilling with ma cakes in Piece. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Popped in here with the Mr and some friends on way to IMAX a few weeks ago. We'd intended have some foods but mixed our times so ended up just grabbing coffees. Which were really good - I had a latte. It was smooth, creamy, and faintly sweet - just the way I like it! The staff were really apologetic as they were just closing up, but couldn't have been friendlier. Looking forward to going back for lunch soon - the food looked amazing! read more

Piece - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Now this is a proper sandwich shop. I supposed it should come as no surprise that Piece is something of a Glasgow institution. It has been extraordinarily popular since it opened in 2008 and it's earned its popularity by consistently getting things right. Here at the flagship store you can really expect something special for your lunch. The sandwich menu is divided into meat, fish, chicken or vegetarian options, with a few breakfast options also available until 11 am. You choose you filling, choose your bread (baguette, ciabatta, bloomer or flatbread) and customise if you must (they're pretty good at getting the balance right, but will take requests if you have them). Don't fancy a sandwich? Anything can be made up as a salad. Or maybe try one of their soups which are almost always veggie and gluten free - they'll make it very clear on the rare occasions this isn't true. Or perhaps just head straight for the coffee and cake, I won't judge you. With so many amazing options available in Glasgow these days its easy to forget the humble sandwich. You needn't, though, not when Piece is elevating it from staple to superlative. read more

I drive past Piece at least twice a week and I got to breaking point: it was time for a visit! I've seen really tasty photos of their sandwiches posted on Yelp, and wanted to get one for myself. Located conveniently on Argyle Street, I was able to get a parking spot down the road and wandered in. I was there for a late lunch so it was pretty quiet but I was glad to see I could still get something made up fresh. I decided to go for the banh mi (note to self for future sandwiches: I really need to try something different) and took a seat at a bench/stool area along the wall. When my sandwich arrived a short time later, I was impressed. It was presented really well with a fresh salad accompanying it. I'd chose to have it on ciabatta - they also had panini or sandwich bread (brown or white). The ciabatta was fresh, soft and just the right amount of chewy. If my memory serves me right, this banh mi had pork on it rather than the more usual chicken (I'm not complaining) and also had some pickled vegetables in it. Perhaps the amount of pickled veg could be cut down as it did kind of overwhelm the taste of the sandwich. Stupidly I didn't think about taking it off myself until I'd finished. I think I was too relaxed. Anyway, this place was great. A nice vibe, friendly staff and a good location to pop in and out without faffing about. They could have more seating, but then it would probably end up awkward and crowded. I'll be back. read more

Piece - Banh Mi ciabatta - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

My experience here was a bit underwhelming unfortunately. Perhaps because there was a tide of customers coming in and only 3 servers scrambling about to collect and send out orders? I dunno. I ordered the smoked salmon ciabatta and a cup of cappuccino while the partner had the mackerel and soy cappuccino! The food was nothing to complain about, it was a pretty nice sandwich but I did have to wait a while because the server completely forgot about it. My partner ordered a few minutes after me but he had already gotten his sandwich and I had to wait. Perhaps my rumbling tummy didn't help either as I grew impatient. Once I got my partner to investigate, they served my sandwich but with no apology for the forgetfulness. I know you're busy but every customer counts yeah? Don't forget little me! Regardless the food was lovely and I did love the coffee very much! It was very well made and tasty! Would definitely go back for a cuppa and possibly a take-away lunch instead of sitting in. Maybe an update review will be in order. read more

Well what's to say...? Quite a lot actually! Piece is undoubtedly THE best place for lunch by a long shot! The blackboard menu listing the massive choice of finest quality ingredients to generously fill your chosen bread will have you salivating and making plans for future visits. For a change from a bread-based lunchtime treat, there are also savoury tartlets to enjoy. All available to go, sit in on its own, or with salad. Sitting in, watching the world go by, with great tunes on the stereo is undoubtedly the best way to enjoy your lunch... Coupled with great coffee, this is somewhere I'll be back to again and again. read more

My first time here pretty bad of me living in the area and l don't even know what's around the corner. A fresh very clean cafe where the staff take pride in what they do you can see this in the way that every detail has been thought of, impeccable service with a smile from the young girl at the counter. This eatery offers speciality sandwiches meat, fish and vegetarian options, freshly prepared soups not to mention their bagels and patisserie selection make them so tempting. Highly recommended place if you are passing by for a light snack or just a coffee. Will be sure to be back. read more

I pass this place several times a week on the way to class. I'd always meant to stop and today I remembered. I had high hopes.. It being a boutique sandwich shop.. As there are many substitutes available such as Pret, the crappy Tesco sort and so on.. I had the Jamaican sandwich. Which has chicken, hot sauce, mango salsa and jalapeños. The chicken was bland.. Looked like it hadn't been seasoned very much, plus they didn't put nearly enough chicken on the bread.. But not too bad. They were out of hot sauce and used the asian sauce. Which was very generic. The mango salsa wasn't horrible but it was really just sliced mango (expected something more interesting).. And finally they put 3 slices of jalapeños on the mediocre baguette. All in all it wasn't bad. It just wasn't memorable. I would have expected this to be an option from a grocery store. When shopping at a boutique store I figure it will be somewhat special. I reckon for £3.75 it was about as one could expect. However, I'll probably not return. Cheers. read more

After a lovely afternoon at the museum, stomachs were a rumbling! We'd walked on by Piece on the way there, and having encountered them at a previous yelp event at which I developed a great love for their awesome sammiches, I suggested we popped in. It was the end of the day on a Saturday, and as they close on a Sunday the items on the menu were limited. Although I was a wee bit deflated, this is actually pretty reassuring, as you know all of their food is fresh and never left out! Never fear, though, the lovely lady behind the counter made suggestions of flavour combinations with what was left, and I ended up with a lovely cured ham baguette with roasted veg and manchego cheese with a lovely herby mayo. Yum! My other half had a baguette with chorizo, ham, manchego and harissa dressing. Also awesome, but a wee bit too spicy for me! I just love the chilled out atmosphere in this wee café, and it was nice to be able to eat at leisure and not feel rushed, even though the staff were clearly packing up for the evening. I was eying the dessert cabinet which was full of delicious treats, but that was soon packed away as well - probably a good thing given my healthy eating thing I'm doing at the moment. I will definitely be plundering some of that tasty, tasty awesomeness next time, though. ^^ When settling the bill, the gents who were now behind the counter offered me some fruit from a big bowl - obviously not wanting to waste any! I happily scoffed a handful of blueberries while engaging in a bit of banter. A happy end to a happy dining experience. Even if this place is out of your way, you should definitely go and taste some of that happy sammich goodness. Food heroes, I tell ya! read more

A delightful stop in our Finnieston neighbourhood where were staying, we saved Piece for our last day, before heading to the train station for our journey home. Having had a hearty and rainy walk from another delightful visit to Kelvingrove Museum, this is to be invited by a sign that says 'come in from wintery August' is most welcome. Even more so was on one of my favourites, a comforting pea & ham soup whereas the BF had a gorgeous and filling pastrami special for his sandwich. However, this is a place that's known for it's coffee too so we vowed to try that next time. The place is small so another coffee shop that's for a quick caffeine fix or fast bite rather than working from in the corner with your laptop, but it most certainly does it's job well. read more

This place is consistently absolutely fantastic. It's small, so seats are at a bit of a premium, but it's not a place where folk linger for hours over lunch, so there's generally a short wait to sit down. But most people are here to grab and go - a sandwich or salad (anything can be done as a sandwich, baguette, ciabatta or salad) and it's always buzzing because the quality is so consistently high. I've heard it rumoured that they have a kitchen across in the Hidden Lane where they prep all their own stuff and that quality shows. Popular fillings can sell out, but there's always something you'll love. I'm a particular fan of the Bahn Mi salad. It's not really authentic, but it is ludicrously delicious. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, drinks are interesting (they've recently started stocking cold brew coffee) and service is sweet, witty (check out the chalkboard on the way in) and efficient. I eat lunch here far too often - and always think how lucky I am to have such a place close by. read more

Probably the best sandwiches in Glasgow. The food is fantastic and the coffee is great. The best place for a coffee and sandwich on the go. Not really a sitting in place but you can of you are lucky enough to get a seat. Not that much more expensive than other sandwich shops but for the extra your body will love you forever. Enjoy it! read more

I was kicking about the west end and had some time to kill before a meeting so decided to check out the much raved about Piece. I actually know a little bit of history as I popped in a running vest for the charity I work for and got chatting to one of the owners. They both used to work together in the city centre and used to moan about the quality of butties saying they could do much better so people said 'why don't you then....' I had a really really good latte and it was extra hot just as I asked for. I also ordered the roast beef, cheese and horseradish sandwich on wholemeal bloomer. The bread wad tasty fresh and thick and the filling wad delicious and well balanced. The shop was clean and busy, staff were fantastic and really friendly. Def a place to pop in for a quick buttie but not a place to loiter in as seating is quite limited. read more

Piece is my favourite sandwich deli in the city. What a stunning wee place too, great coffee, fast service and a sandwich menu that could take a solid month to work through properly. The clincher for me, the thing that takes Piece from a 4 to a 5 star place, is the coleslaw. I adore my 'slaw, and Pieces is not only great, it's made in house and makes the perfect accompaniment to their wonderful meats. read more

First of all I feel I must apologise to the guys in here that when I was in and they asked what we wanted we sort of looked at them with blank expressions and then replied with "........ a sandwich?!" Fools we were. Cue the lovely staff working through lots of options and breads etc etc until a delicious sandwich was made. I feel I should explain that it had been an unusually trying morning and my normally decisive brain had switched off! So a warning - there is so much choice that if you are feeling indecisive, you will also have a brain jam moment! But panic not, the staff are lovely and after their delicious sandwich has made it's way into your stomach you'll be feeling fine! If you're after a sandwich that is made with care and from top class ingredients, this is the place to go. It's great to meet a fellow bread geek (shurrrup Chris D, we do exist and we're proud!) and its clear that the staff in here care about what they do. I shall be back! read more

I have frequented Piece many times as I work over the river, but lately I have noticed their ciabatta's have seriously shrunk, to a 3rd of the size I remember them being... the sandwiches are indeed good and the variety is broad but I feel the rolls have just got a lot smaller, and I am not the only one who has noticed this! The bread is however the same size and I think I will be getting that next time! read more

A+ sandwiches! So many fillings to choose from but I tend to go for the Chicken Ole, chicken, chorizo, manchego and salsa with your choice of mayo (go for the garlic!) This is more of a takeaway place for me as it gets very busy at lunchtime and there are only a few seats. I always end up here in the summer months to get a picnic lunch for Kelvingrove Park. As well as an extensive sandwich menu they have soups and some lovely looking cakes which I haven't tried yet. It would be good to see some toasted sandwiches on the menu but I guess this would cause chaos at busy times. Other than that I have no complaints about this place, always tasty, great value and good service. read more

Brilliant coffee, brilliant sammies, brilliant service. I have a rule about not giving 5 stars to coffee bars, but if you're looking for real, good coffee in Glasgow, this is the place - and the food is surprisingly fantastic. read more

Good spot for a quick sandwich and coffee. It's close to my new place, so I kick-started several days here already and will likely continue to visit. Sandwiches are not exceptional but competently done and tasty. You can choose from the blackboard/menu or make your own using a selection of ingredients which are of good quality but without any real premium stuff to quite justify the "gourmet sandwichmongers" label. (But you didn't expect to find caviar/jamon iberico/truffles/wagyu and the like for under a fiver, right?) As a base, I'd recommend the (dark) ciabatta bread which seems of better quality than the other options. Coffee is acceptable which is a good thing this part of town. The deserts I tried so far, on the other hand, were a bit uninspired. The salted caramel looked enticing but was just homogeneous ultra-sweetness. The brownie lacked proper texture and any aroma but duly fulfilled its most basic role as coffee-sweetener. Cold drink options are a bit limited or maybe it's just me and my dislike for Italian waters (Acqua Panna/San Pellegrino will be your only still/sparkling options) and Coca-Cola products/overly sugary drinks in general (of which there is a good selection). But this is a sandwich place and it does what it's supposed to well. Staff is also very friendly and relaxed... I should know, because I forgot to pay my bill once (ordering at the counter without paying got me confused) and they were very cool about it and the ensuing (short) chase down the street. (Or is this why they always smile at me now? :-) read more

Great wee place. Food is very fresh and the staff are nice. One of the best places to eat on Argyll Street!

Consistent clean and friendly, easily the best sandwich shop in Glasgow. Always try the specials!

Have been a couple of times and it's worth diverting to it. Sandwiches and fillings are all excellent. The staff are friendly and courteous. And best of all, even when it's really busy ( lunch-time), the service and food preparation are very swift. Highly recommended. read more

Good, independent coffee shop, serving great flat whites and a good selection of breakfast bakery options.

Popped in here thanks to Yelp and managed to grab one of the 2 window tables. Fantastic range of choice - I had a chicken ceasar baguette and the mrs had egg mayo. Both sandwiches were totally delicious and it was just what we were after. 5 stars! read more

I came here on a lunch date with my boyfriend. I got the original pastrami and he the BBQ Mi. I was delicious! All the ingredients are nice and fresh, the bread is really soft and a great selection of drinks. The portions are a good size - very filling. We'll definitely be coming back here again! 10/10 read more

Like most of you guys on here, I'm a big fan of SLAW, so when I'm kickin' back on the Finnieston strip, I'll always head this joint for a toasty cup-of-Joe and some awesome banter. These guys don't waste time with the prefix "cole", allowing me more time to high five my guys and compare beard wax and neck tattoos. The slaw in here is super awesome, and the guys who serve are all super friendly and super chillaxed. If you wanna go with the Lebanese sour dough, props to you man, that's pretty much the bomb. Highly recommended. read more

Piece was a revelation for the Finnieston area when it opened up a few years back. Living and working in this area, the options for a decent takeaway place for lunch were limited. The owners, Tom and John are on a mission to locate the best produce and package this up in the form of some of my favourite sandwiches. Their Thai Pork Ciabatta is a treat. They do offer sandwiches but also different types of bread that's baked daily by another local baker including baguettes, ciabatta. I'm not in daily but definitely try and get my piece fix at least once a week. More occasionally I've been known to splash out on their beautifully handcrafted cakes, again sourced. It's not the cheapest place but for a quick lunch meeting in a relaxed environment it's a good wee spot - although it wasn't set up to seat too many folk. read more
