This is the perfect spot to stop for a quick lunch near Paisley's high street. The Grumpy Monkey serves 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. read more
