    Soup & sandwich: mushroom with a prosciutto and pesto sandwich
    Briony C.

    This is a classy part deli, part cafe in the West End which I hadn't really heard much about before. I visited at lunch time during the week for a meeting and was really impressed as soon as I entered - a long counter showcasing some delicious looking cakes as well as shelves stacked high with interesting condiments and ingredients. There's a long bench table in the middle which means you might end up sitting next to a stranger, but that shouldn't deter you. I had a cup of tea followed by soup and a sandwich. This isn't really an option I normally go for but my lunching companion recommended it and said it was a good sized serving of soup with 1/2 a sandwich. Other options were more pricy and seemed more filling than I had room for, so I opted for the mushroom soup and a proscuitto and pesto sandwich. I don't eat mushroom soup very often but this one was delicious - creamy, rich and the perfect size. I also really enjoyed the sandwich - on really fresh bread, and I thought the filling was unusual but very nice indeed. The deal was somewhere in the £5 area - possibly closer to £6 but not a bad deal. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive. I didn't linger too long to look at the cakes as I didn't have my sweet teeth in that day, but I'd definitely head back here if I was in the area - and to check out the deli items a bit more closely!

    This darling and delicious little deli is the perfect place to duck into on a frosty December day, to indulge in a lovely long lunch, as I discovered today. The window filled with cakes, croissants and the promise of hot coffee was enough to draw me inside. With its warm and welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder that the tables and chairs were filled with friends enjoying lunch and laughter. I was spoiled for choice, with the counter piled high with freshly baked cakes and an array of cheeses and fresh pesto. I opted for a cheddar, pesto, sunblushed tomato and rocket sandwich, which was served on thick doorstop sized crusty wholemeal bread - absolutely delicious and costing little over £2. I'll be back to browse through the shelves full of authentic Italian sweets, cakes and coffee. Good old Italian food at good old prices.

    The sandwich!

    So I am a huge sandwich fan! Love them and can't think of a nicer way to spend a sunny afternoon than with a super yum takeaway sandwich (and a liquid refreshment or two!) whilst sitting in kelvingrove park watching the world go by - hello spring! I love sonny and vitos and so this is where I headed for and ordered us both Parma ham, Gorgonzola and rocket pesto sandwiches on granary bread. We have had these before and loved them so to be honest neither of us even considered another option. The other things that did catch the eye whilst waiting were the superb looking chorizo sausage rolls (drool!) and various savoury tarts - another day! The sandwiches were amazing - salty Gorgonzola, garlicky pesto and sweet Parma ham - what's not to like - only one thing - my boyfriend found a chunk of the plastic that separates the Parma ham slices in his sandwich but he pulled it out and kept munching happily :-)

    Well isn't this a lovely little West End gem. Could have spent a fortune on all the products available to buy from the deli. From absinthe cake to black risotto rice and all the wine in between. Be warned, you likely will be sat next to people so great if you are slightly nosey. Having said that, the 2 who ended up sitting next to my friend and I made it sort of clear they did not like the shared seating ethos. The menu was great, with a huge board of specials. Both my friend and I opted for the chicken and avocado salad with a black coffee. The salad was amazing, a huge serving of both chicken and avocado wth a lovely French dressing. I also loved the hidden sundried tomatoes and tomatoes and the artichoke. Not a fan of olives but I could see how people would like it. The cakes on offer looked great as well. The only niggle was breakfast only being served until 12, I think brunch on a Sunday should be served all day. (Mainly and selfishly because I don't tend to finish my long runs until 11:30ish). I will visit for breakfast and report back!

    I've been here a few times before, not too sure why I haven't reviewed it, so here it goes. Came by S&V today to have a simple lunch while I rested (wasn't feeling too well!). The environment in S&V is great! It's always busy, and filled with locals from around the area. I assume it's one of those neighbourly cafe delis, where everyone knows everyone! It's nice and refreshing. Didn't feel like eating too much today so I went for a cup of soup (mixed veggie and lenthil) and an organic parma ham sandwich! The partner had the same except his sandwich was dolphin-safe tuna! I think the ingredients they used are really fresh and delicious. The veggie soup was comforting and, well, I'm like a mega fan of parma ham, so when I bit into that sandwich, I was just like .... mmmmmmm ohh yeahhh (lol). It's nothing extravagant, but it was a nice, simple meal that hit the spot. Couldn't resist some dessert so I ordered a caffe latte while the partner ordered a cappuccino. And we also had a slide of orange and chilli cake! Coffee wise, yes, they make good coffee (roasted beans by Union). And that cake, also yes, they make could cakes. Wonderful light flavours! I think I'm gonna make it a habit to visit S&V more often. It's such a comfortable place! Feels like you're in someone's home. :) Staff are also friendly! And they have a decent selection of wine and Italian goods on sale.

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.

I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!

Love their food but what I love even more, is how they help to feed the homeless and/or those in need. Whether you're a paying customer or someone in need, EVERYONE EATS THE SAME SOUP! Bravo!!! The Wild Olive Tree is located on Nelson Mandela's Place, inside the St. George's Tron Church of Scotland. The lovely cafe is on the main level. You walk in and get seated for table service; or you can order takeout. This is not a Soup Kitchen per se, but if you're a person of need, you can enter via a side door for free soup and hot beverages to go. They have been in operation since 2015, and in their first three years of operation, have given away 12,000 meals and 13,500 hot beverages! Again, BRAVO!!! All profits and donations from the Cafe go to their two charity partners: Glasgow City Mission and Bethany Christian Trust, to support their ongoing work with some of the city's most vulnerable people. The charities also help with work placement and employability training. How awesome is that?!?! The team at The Wild Olive Tree consists of paid staff, volunteers and work placements. This team of people are awesome! The food is homemade and delicious, customer service is so friendly, and they're so thankful for your visit. If I lived in Glasgow, I'd be a regular customer for sure!
