This place has EXCELLENT coffee. I popped in about 20 minutes before closing and was met by a kind…read morestaff who made me a coffee without hesitation. 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.

I adore Milk. The staff, the atmosphere, the coffee. :)…read more Milk is pretty local to me, I often walk past it doing our weekly shop, located on Victoria road between Lidl and Queen's Park station which is the perfect excuse to pop in for a wee coffee on our way home on a Sunday afternoon. I've never stayed for food, although it's definitely on my list! The menu sounds fab to get a nice wee lunch. I have however had numerous coffees and a few slices of cake and they're always lovely. A great flat white, and they're always served in cute little tea cups. I've never had the same one twice. I love the attitude of Milk and the girls who run it, it's a social enterprise to supporting Asylum seeking woman. What's better than great coffee for a great cause! They also run events with different charities and organisations, and get really involved in helping their local community. I'm really looking forward to starting a sewing club at Milk next month with The Real Junk Food Project and Learn to Sew Glasgow, a great example of their community work. The girls that work there are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, it's the sort of place you could loose an afternoon sitting by the window watching the world go by... :)

I'm sure you hear this a lot, but the breakfast we had at this restaurant was the best breakfast…read moreI've ever had, no doubt! 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.

Although it is a little bit more spacious than the parent 'bakehouse' in Dennistoun, this place somehow fails to achieve the same ambience for me. Maybe it's the higher windows, maybe it's because the space is finished to a higher standard, or maybe it's just the Feng-Shui... I don't know. I still prefer going to Dennistoun if I can (it's also easier to park the car over there!). But it's still Tapa, it still has the fantastic Tapa bread and goodies, and they still do a great Long Black. If you're anywhere in the vicinity, it's worth stopping off here.

Thanks to it being Sunday, street parking outside was free which is an added bonus. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I asked for my usual Chai but unfortunately they don't have it...yet! But I was advised to try the London Fog. Earl grey tea with honey and foamy milk, mmmm, very tasty! My friend got jealous so ordered one too. For food I had stacked pancakes and bacon. The only way these could have been better is by having streaky bacon rather than British bacon, but still tasty. I love that they hit brought the jug of maple syrup to the table, usually you have to beg borrow and steal at places to get more! Ben got a side of macaroni cheese because, why not. And he enjoyed it thoroughly, just the right amount of creaminess to the cheese. Very reasonably priced, great food, lovely staff. It's such a quaint little place, try it if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed!

We never ordered food but lots of wine. They have a great selection and the staff were pretty helpful considering there were about 15 of us. I'll go back for food next time I'm home.

I'm really glad I had that kind of hangover today because it got me a truly excellent breakfast at Bungo. Good work, hangover! That poached egg was perfection, the black pudding was really good (sorry, hung over, can't do complicated adjectives), and if those aren't home made baked beans then they've found a top class artisan baked bean supplier. Also the waitress was lovely, and only mocked me gently. One thing though, I may need to recalibrate my bloody Mary spiciness scale: if that was a 7 I should probably have asked for a four. Still properly tasty though.

Located right in the heart of downtown Glasgow, Stack & Still is a must-visit for pancake lovers…read more The vibe is casual and friendly, and the staff make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Bonus points for the unlimited coffee refills -- always a win in my book! They've got a huge selection of sweet and savory pancake combinations, or you can build your own with over 12 million possibilities (yes, really!). You can choose between buttermilk or buckwheat pancake bases -- we went with the Shakshuka Stack, which came with two fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with perfectly fried eggs and a rich, spicy tomato shakshuka sauce. Absolutely delicious -- spicy, savory, and such a refreshing change from the usual plain pancakes. Definitely enough to share! One thing to note: they do automatically add a service charge for table service, so keep that in mind when you get the bill. If you can't get enough, they even have a location at the airport -- perfect for one last pancake fix before you fly out. Highly recommend!

Sit-down interior with tables & booths. Lovely service & fantastic food options. Great selection of coffees & other drinks as well. Fast service & ability to customize quite a bit. (Note for US customers: eggs are either 'hard' or 'runny'; no such thing as over-easy or over-well!). Also customize every little add-on, so don't pay for what you don't want -- most sides we found were enough for 2 people to share. Sweet options can be incredibly sweet, so ask questions for clarity. Lots of sweet options but lots of savory too! Delicious fresh food!

Nice food but pricey for portion size…read more The decor and surroundings of the restaurant were great. The staff also attentive on our visit. I had the pancakes with streaky bacon and a glass of cloudy apple juice. The food and drink did hit the spot. However, the price to portion ratio seems a bit stingy. 3 pancakes and at best 2 skinny bits of bacon for £8??? The £3+ glass of apple juice was small and my friends coffee could have been finished in two gulps. £26 all in for two people at breakfast. It's definitely the most I've spent on breakfast in a while. Ultimately, I liked the food, but ultimately left feeling short changed.
