    Absolutely the worst coffee ever, lukewarm, no care, no skill. DO NOT BUY THE COFFEE

    Right on noon. Was walking past the shop and saw a queue out the door, decided to pass it up, came…read moreback after the queue quieted down to discover just why the queue was so long. Seriously one of the most memorable sandwiches I've ever eaten, lovely happy faces to greet you and so many creative sandwich options! Send your friends.

They're about the same size and always packed, and huzzah, their sandwiches are delicious at both locations. I had walked by a few times the day I finally popped in for a late lunch, as they were swamped the whole lunch rush. I managed to squeeze in to the queue around 2pm and I could tell they had just been through the ringer with the lunch crowd. The guy ahead of me wanted a chicken tikka sandwich but they were out of a couple of the ingredients, so he ordered something else. When it was my turn to order, the guy jokingly said 'let's see if I'm able to make your sandwich!" I ordered the Chiken Ole which was chicken meat, manchego cheese, chorizo, salsa and a spicy mayo on ciabatta. The only one thing they didn't have was the salsa, which in exchange they offered me a bit of salad with some sweet chili sauce. I decided against the sauce and took the salad! What a delightful sandwich this was. My stomach is growling just thinking about it! The bread was freshly baked and so delicious, even at 2pm. The ingredients were all fresh and piled high in to the bread. I also grabbed a bag of crisps and a lemon mint san pellagrino. The greatest lunch on the go I've had in a long while. The guys in here were cool as anything and the music was great. The queues might be long but the sandwiches are worth it. They also serve soups, coffee and baked goods if you're looking for something sweet. I will be back for sure!

    This was my favourite place to go for lunch back when I worked in Royal Exchange Square, as it was…read morejust round the corner so it was really handy, as well as being somewhere I knew I could get something good! There are loads of different options, nothing massively different or fancy, but often at lunchtime all you want is something filling and yummy, which is definitely what you get here! There are soups, sandwiches, hot and cold filled rolls (and I believe breakfast items as well?) plus toasties which all come with different fillings and you can pick whatever you want. They aren't stingy with the fillings at all as well which is great! I also highly recommend the macaroni cheese because it's DELICIOUS, you get a fair amount and it's just what you need when the weather's not the best and you still have to face an afternoon of work. Everything's really reasonably priced for what you get as well, especially when you compare it to some of the other places around there. Due to said delicious food, the place is always packed at lunchtimes with hungry workers, and the queue often goes right out the door - not that inside is massive, mind you. However, I never ended up waiting very long as the staff always serve people really quickly, they're very efficient! There are also different snacky things you can grab like the usual packets of crisps, teacakes and other Tunnock's stuff and also some very scrummy home baking - the caramel shortcake in particular is a delight. It is takeaway only so I guess that could be a downside for some people if you've got nowhere to take your food back to, but they really couldn't fit any tables in there!

    I have to echo what has been said before on Yelp for this place, I worried a pun name would be a…read moresign of a shop trying to hard to get your attention, but the food spoke for itself. I was bullied into going here, to be fair, not one to actively pay several pounds for a sandwich (it's still just bread!) but I really enjoyed this wee place, with good service and more importantly, good food. We sat outside which was a delight, being on a nice day, and overall it was a nice experience. I'm rarely up here, but would go back if I was. Recommended.

    From outside appearances and the corny name, I must admit I wasn't too enthused at giving in to my…read morehunger and resorting to munch here, and was seriously wishing I had eaten shreddies for breakfast. My tum was still a-rumblin' however, and wouldn't let up, so I gave in. I got me a roast veg wrap, my friend a chargrilled chicken sandwich with coleslaw. When the slightly nervous server took out a whole chicken breast and started to carve it up, that's when I started to look at my surroundings in a new way. The coleslaw was devine and clearly homemade, and as I looked at the sandwich fillings spread out behind the sparkling sneeze guard, I suspected that they were all homemade and of the same standard. No fat encrusted subway bacon here! It has a little breakfast bar at the back to sit in, and aside from the nervousness of the server, both the people working there were very friendly considering I was only there for two tics. My wrap must have been one of the best - and affordable hurried lunch rolls I've had in town - definitely will go back.

    How could I not be a fan of Social Bite? So much more than a sandwich shop - they're actually doing…read moresomething amazing with their profits and helping out local causes. They're a social business which means they give 100% of their profit to good causes, and help to feed the local homeless community as well. I think it's such an amazing idea and really appreciate that they're trying to do something worthwhile! But the big question is - is the food actually decent? I've been meaning to try it out for ages but only ever seemed to pass by when I'd already eaten. I finally made it here when I was looking for some lunch to-go, and grabbed the chicken pot noodle. They also have a huge selection of sandwiches, as well as some more unusual options like a mezze box and salads. The chicken pot noodle is £3.50 but it's like no pot noodle you'd grab at the supermarket - this one has actual fresh things in it, like vegetables (cucumber, carrot and spring onion) and lovely chunks of real chicken. They top it up with boiling hot stock at the counter for you so it's ready to eat in 3 minutes. The staff go out of their way to explain why Social Bite is different, without being robotic or pushy. They'll give you a loyalty card which gets you some sweet discounts - 50% off or a free lunch the more you visit. If I worked in town, I know I'd be visiting Social Bite all the time - who could resist the delicious food with the added bonus of the warm & fuzzy feeling you get from helping out a good cause? I can't wait to see Social Bite take over the world with their great idea. (There's a second Glasgow shop opening on Bothwell Street soon!)

    I passed this place the other day on my way to getting a lift home and as I passed the store front,…read morewhich had it's mantra of "good food for a good cause", it stuck in my head. Today, while I was doing some work I spotted this article on our main careers site, which featured Social Bite co-founder Josh Littlejohn http://bit.ly/NmN58J talking about how he came up with the idea. This year I'm definitely up for giving more to charity and this enterprise is right up my street. They claim to give 100% of profits to good causes, which is pretty awesome and I hope they manage to keep on doing so. This store is their second after the flagship Edinburgh venue. The menu is very similar to that of Pret A Manger with various baguettes, sandwiches, noodles, salads and panini's all on offer with artisan fillings. They also do what looked like a lovely wee line in Rwandan coffee but I'm sadly on a caffeine diet this week. I had the Parma Ham, chorizo, mozzarella and pesto panini (£3.99), toasted and to go. It was really tasty, the tomato pesto particularly tasted so fresh. The store design is cool, laid back, bit hipster-ish...think Pret mixed with Starbucks. I did really like the various saying's printed on the walls about the company ethos and the case studies of the people they have so far helped in to the workplace. The lady that served me was super friendly and only too happy to suggest to me additional extras with my meal and also gave me a loyalty card (eat 5 times and get lunch half price, 10 times and get it free). This is the kind of wee business Glasgow needs and I really hope it thrives. It has some heavy competition like Pret, Subway, Costa, Starbucks and Greggs all in close vicinity so I urge all office types to ditch the pretentious Pret salad for a day and have a Social Bite!

It's super close to Central Station, a couple of blocks along Argyle Street from Central Bridge. The space has huge vaulted ceilings, making it feel really spacious. It's got a rustic feel with exposed brick and supports, but managed so make it feel like intentional grunge rather than trying-too-hard-to-be-industrial. The food is as great as it is at the other location, and the staff are just as friendly. The tables are always sticky and the seating is plastic, but you have everything you need. The nuclear beans are excellent, cheesy and warming with a good level of spice. I also often go for the Witchfinder General - a bagel with grilled chicken, chorizo, melted cheddar, chipotle mayo and lettuce. It's really filling and the mayo gives it a good tang to balance out the chorizo, and the little bit of salad on top lightens up what might otherwise be a heavy lunch. (Ok, it's still kinda heavy, but I don't mind). A small thing, but I also appreciate the drinks selections here - along with coke and Irn Bru they stock a few flavours of fruity San Pellegrino drinks, and Bundaberg ginger ale. I never know what I'll be in the mood for so it's great to have some options with different levels of caffeine and sweetness.
