I am disappointed I never knew about this deli when I lived in the West End!! I came here to get take-away for a colleague and me, and what a fabulous find! We had the chicken-tomato and chicken-pesto ciabattas; they were delicious and HUGE! We also ordered the side salad with tortilla crisps for an extra .75p; the balsamic dressing was fantastic with fresh, crunchy veggies. Also who knew corn crisps tasted awesome with Balsamic (by the time we made it back to work, the crisps had soaked up some of the dressing)? The gentlemen behind the counter were so nice, and made lovely food with great presentation. So great in fact, that I ended up getting dessert too. You can tell they take pride in their work. I definitely need to come back and eat in the restaurant! One more thing, the coffee smell in the cafe was divine, so I will be trying that on the next trip too! read more

The Little Cafe - take-away lunch with coworker! Chicken tomato mozzarella ciabatta with salad and crisps! Delicious! Cake wasn't bad either ;) - Cafes Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I've been traveling for a couple weeks and haven't felt compelled to review until now. I like everything about this joint-spotless, clean decor and excellent service. The food is delicious and so fresh and so clean! It's the little things that make me want to return, a single basil leaf, drizzled with olive oil adorned my tomato soup and made me smile. read more

I saw this new place had opened up opposite the Kelvingrove, when I was searching for a place to shelter from the rain until the museum opened. At first I almost rejected it for Beanscene, but was heartily glad I didn't. The hot chocolate I had was served like a cappachino - none of that over-elaborate cream and cheap mini marshmallow crap - simple elegant and very tasty. My little friend had a bambi - steamed milk with chocolate syrup, which entertained him wildly as he could scoop up the frothy milk like ice-cream, and it was miles healthier for him. It seemed to be a mediterranian style cafe, with unusual sounding sandwiches, and mini pizza's, which were divine and so affordable at £1.99! The decor was slick - it was airy and clean, the kind of surroundings that are subtle and you don't notice, but just feel comfortable in. (aside from the lime green seats - not really to my taste! But I'm being petty.) The server behind the counter was very friendly and genuine, and humoured my little buddy very well. Cheap, friendly, clean & delicious. I'll be back for sure!! read more

I ordered a mocha. It was delicious. The service was delicious as well. The atmosphere was sparse albeit tasteful. 5 easy stars. Just came for the second time. Terrific. read more

Aww this is a GREAT wee place! There's always folk in it, but I'm surprised it's not super busy all the time, as the food is great, and the staff are lovely. We've had pizzas from here and they are fantastic pizzas. There's a really good range of toppings, and they have deal of £12 for 2 pizzas to go, Tues to Sun, 4pm - 8pm. That's a fantastic deal! The dough is lovely (and vegan friendly). There are also ranges of ciabatta, bruschetta, salads, anti-pasti and sides. And they have raw vegan desserts! I couldn't quite believe my luck when I noticed that! It's such a great location too - right opposite the Kelvingrove Art Galleries, you can sit in or take-away and they also deliver. Not that I really know much about it, but this seems like a genuine, authentic, little Italian cafe. read more

Popped in to grab a quick coffee and was tempted by the menu to order a chicken pesto panini (the king of all panini!). It's a small place, unsurprisingly, and as I took a seat at one of the window booths I realised that not only did it look small, it's not the best for those of us who are 'larger than average'. I shuffled the table and wiggled my way in, but it's pretty snug so be warned! My latte turned up promptly and was a little bitter for my taste, but I've had worse, and it wasn't long before my panini showed up, in a bowl. This confused me a little, whilst it was a perfectly good bowl, why put a toasted sandwich in a bowl? The panini itself was ok, not much of a pesto flavour, and the mozzarella was one big chunk in the middle, so became a little bit rubbery after being toasted, all in all it was edible but a bit bland. Price wise I can't complain, it was cheap, the staff are friendly and it was certainly busy enough, maybe I just caught them on a bad day? Not sure I'd rush back though. read more

Sundays have become a different kind of Sunday Funday... that is if you like working out, when Sundays are normally spent larding out before the Monday grind begins. When the weather isn't complete crap, the boyfriend and I workout with our awesome trainer in Kelvingrove Park. If you're like us, you tend to sleep in on Sundays... which left us no time for a proper breakfast, and ravenous after our intense training session. Yikes. So hungry and desperate for food, we walked along Argyle towards home and came across The Little Cafe. We've actually walked past this place a number of times, but some reason or another never stopped in. But this time was different. We saw their lunch special of a soup and panini for £4.95... you really can't beat that! The cafe is really clean and modern, with cool photographs on the walls. Booths line the large open windows looking out onto Argyle Street and the Kelvingrove Museum. The service was great, and food really fresh and tasty. It was lentil soup that day, and we both got variations of chicken sandwiches. The atmosphere was really relaxed and a nice way to spend a few moments chilling with your hunny on a Sunday morning after an intense training session. Bottom line: good, fresh, friendly, affordable and tasty! We'll be back after more training sessions in the park. read more

Clean cut, well kept and just a little preppy, The Little Cafe is a tiny slice of spunky dining to satisfy your appetite! It's fairy small but with its modern decor and Med inspired cuisine it's pretty tasty. Seems family friendly, soup and panini combo is a fiver which is an honest price, it's quite cosy, nice ambiance and friendly staff. The soup was delicious - I had tomato and basil. Tomato is one of these soups that is so simple to make but you can do it so well. Safe to say The Little Cafe did. Very clean cut and original, The Little Cafe has a big heart, a good, favourable menu and is open till nine during the week if you fancy an alternative to meeting doon the pub! read more

I was down this neck of the woods recently to attend the Baby Booty Sale (nope, not what it sounds like) and stupidly made the decision to pop into the nearby Beanscene earlier in the afternoon for a quick coffee (with obligatory muffin) break. Heavens to bobby, loud much? When it came to extracting the Mrs from the afore mentioned booty sale, a decision was made that death or having to sleep on the street might occur if we tried to make it home minus the lunch that out bellies were telling us it was time for. Initial thoughts went to Beanscene, but were quickly batted away after the memories of pram hell and loud wenders flooded back to my brain. I also at this point gave myself a wee slap to the back of the head for not going to this place in the first place. Things to note. This place is smart. It's clean, bright, welcoming and comfortable, yet not squashed in what is quite a small place. Service is swift, friendly and the food on offer is varied, whilst not being too extensive to give you a choice headache when you;ve got the hunger on. Price wise, it's reasonable.. but not cheap. A pizza will set you back upwards of 6 quid, but it's good gear and a great spot for lunch if you've been to the museum. It's still a 4 star and not an upgrade purely because I reserve that for the places I'd like to be in heaven/hell when i get there. But beyond that, it's a good, solid four star. read more

Wandered in when looking for a quick lunch with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised. There's plenty of choices of ciabattas and pizzas for really good prices. I ordered the Mediterranean vegetable ciabatta and a cappuccino and my total was £6.05 - which is a great price already - but then the guy serving us figured out we were students and gave me 60p back, even though I have already paid the full amount as I didn't know they had a student discount. I thought that was really sweet! Anyway, both mine and my friend's ciabattas were really good. I've had a similar ciabatta at Roast previously and that one was a little better, but I definitely enjoyed this one as well and for the price it's a bargain. The cappuccino was delicious as well. I will defintely go back sometime to try some of their other choices, what a good find! read more

Lovely Jubbly! as Del boy would say. Not sure he'd like this little place but I sure do. Went for the two pizzas for £10 deal, which is way cheaper than anywhere else that isn't a deep fry kinda joint. First brownie point was that the cheese wasn't sliding around in its own grease, second to that, the pizza was made there and then with what looked like really fresh ingredients. Very rustic and healthily yum looking. Was really looking forward to eating it, and it was good. Did also notice that you can get a small pizza for £1.99, which I would definitely do for a quick lunch time hit. They had a good selection of paninis, with the 50p option of adding tortilla chips and a side salad, pretty good when the panini is just over £3 itself. Bargainariffic! Oh yeah, and loads of veggie options for the leafy eaters read more

The pizzas! I love them, so much so that I order from here far too often. Two pizzas for £10 is a darn good deal though and they are definitely worth it - light and crispy dough, fresh veggies and they don't come swimming in grease with little congealed bits of cheese (ew). I'm not a pizza connoisseur or anything, but I've been on a mission to find my favourite pizza in Glasgow and this place is definitely in my top 3. I have only had their food delivered so I can't comment on the service at the cafe, but I highly recommend the pizzas. They are open all day but only deliver for a few hours in the evenings so bear that in mind. read more

Opposite the Kelvingrove Museum this little unassuming Cafe serves great fresh food with lovely, friendly service. It's also superb value for money. It can be a little quiet, but then, you do have the great view of the museum to entertain you. read more

Lovely little cafe with beautiful views of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum: quiet, light and airy atmosphere, easy to find, with free Wifi! I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch--Chicken Pest and Mozzarella ciabatta with soup deal for £5!--and coffee over a good book on a "me-time" afternoon. Highly recommend it. read more

I first went into little cafe about a week ago and ordered a coffee it was a nice little place and I got some work done, Having had a nice experience here before I decided to eat my lunch there yesterday afternoon, it was appalling! the pizza i ordered had been under cooked, there was still gooey dough, and when i asked for it to be put back in the oven he refused! I then asked to speak to the manager rather luckily i got the owner but he also refused! when i told him i wouldn't be paying for a pizza i can't eat he banned me from the premises! NEVER EAT HERE! read more

Popped in here whilst waiting for a takeaway from The Den (I know I know, I eat there too much!) Initially, I was going to go into Beanscene, but I never really enjoy the coffee there, so popped in here for a new experience. Initial thoughts - clean, light, modern. Just literally had a Cappuccino, so I can't comment on the food. What I could see behind the counter and being cooked though, looked very nice indeed. Chap brought the drink over to the table & I was already shocked at it being a real Italian cappuccino. In that it wasn't frothy bubbly cream, it was like a delicious flat white, oozing beautiful texture and richness. Reminds me of what I had in Sauze in Italy. Complimented the guy & he knew he was good at making it traditionally. Honestly, if I am down here again (which is a lot lately!), I'll be back in for some soup/pizza to try. Only criticism, the booths are really really cramped!! You Gotta Drink Here - For Sure! :-D read more

Popped in for a quick coffee when I had half an hour to kill! It was pretty quiet but they were shutting about 30 minutes after I arrived. The service was quick and friendly - always a bonus! Great view of Kelvingrove too. Only had coffee and a cake but it was a mere £3 - bit of a bargain if you ask me! Definitely want to head back again next time I'm around the area to try some more of their menu. Really fantastic coffee, and they do a student discount too. read more

For a family of 5 (3 adults and 2 teens) we ordered 3 pizzas, some deserts, and table water for under 30 pounds. And we are full. The pizzas are just like Italian style: thin crust, minimal cheese, and chunks (not diced) of fresh toppings. I lived in Italy and this is exactly how the pizza was. So so so good. And I cannot believe how cheap it is. Wow! They are super friendly too. It is across the street from Kelvingrove Art Museum. I recommend this place. read more

Lovely atmosphere and staff are helpful. Can't wait till my next time in this beautiful little cafe, for 2 cheese ciabatta a large cappuccino, a reg hot chocolate and a can of San pel limonata is £12 exactly! Amazing service all round grazie read more

This Italian cafe serves cheap and tasty pizzas, ciabatta, salads and soup. The lunch deals are really good value, a half pizza and salad costs just £5. I'd definitely recommend trying the pizza first as I've found the ciabatta can be hit and miss. But the chorizo pizza never fails! The cafe is bright and modern looking with views across to the gallery at Kelvingrove.The staff are very friendly and always eager to accomodate customers requests. They also do a student discount which makes it even more bargain priced! read more

Popped in here last week for coffee and do say its a great wee coffee house. As per the name it is compact and a little crammed for table space but still far outshines Beanscene and their grumpy staff across the road. The tables here are clean, the staff at pleasant and the coffee is Gooooood! Yup! a fan I am :) read more

Nice coffee and very nice pizza! Delicious! Also their ciabattas are very delicious and prices under £4. We had the beef pastrami and it was filing and delicious. Would really recommend to anyone looking for a quick coffee and lunch to come here! read more

I had a great panini here earlier, perfect for a chilly day. The staff are lovely and the prices are super reasonable. Their student discount helps too! read more

Nice setting, and a nice simple menu. Ordered a latte and a mozzarella panini; the coffee was delicious, the panini not so good, mainly on the fact that it was stone cold in the middle. read more

Great restaurant with fantastic pizzas at a great price. We're just back from a holiday in Italy and the children are now total pizza snobs and this is the only place that they think the pizzas are as good as you get in Italy. Also nice that you don't pay through the nose for olives or garlic bread. The panini and salads looked good too. Staff very friendly, definitely worth a visit. read more

Great service! The owner was extremely nice and welcoming. It was quiet on Sunday morning when first opening and got busier gradually. Service was really quick and the latte was delicious! Great environment, calm music playing, great place for reading, writing, or hanging out with friends. Will definitely be back for the ciabatta that looked great. read more

This place is delightful. Delicious food at great prices (£4.50 for a delicious hot sandwhich, £7 for a pretty large pizza with more than 10 flavors to choose from). Very fast service, comfortable and quiet inside seating. Would definitely come back. read more
