Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food was incredible and service was quick and incredibly friendly."
  • "The chocolate brownie is too sweet for us, always many ppl so I’d say service is not that quick and atmosphere is kind of noisy."
  • "The menu has a large variety of options. There’s something for everyone and it’s reasonably priced."
  • "The meaty baked eggs were delicious, with just the right amount of chilli heat for this time of the morning."
  • "Both of us got the vegan yogurt and granola which was divine."
  • "The food was delicious & coffee good too."
  • "Ordered the meaty baked eggs for lunch. It was piping hot and full of flavour."
  • "The food is amazing and the staff are so lovely!"

Cons:

  • "Only kitchen seemed to know what they are doing - big props."
  • "I had a nice meaty breakfast but a bit pricey at £13.50 and doesn't even include tea or coffee for that price."
  • "The chocolate brownie is too sweet for us, always many ppl so I’d say service is not that quick and atmosphere is kind of noisy."
  • "The food portion is quite big, not quite impressive or surprising but overall is good."
  • "Meh. Great service, we had the Brioche French toast which on paper sounded delicious, but was not good."
  • "We ordered one special with poached eggs, ham, blueberries and ricotta and poached eggs with brisket. Both dishes were really bad, pretty outside, but tasteless inside."

  • "Staff were friendly and attentive and immediately brought out a bowl of water for my dog."
  • "The food was so tasty I ordered the Stornaway black pudding with poached eggs was so good and especially the hazelnut coffee served with Nutella and nuts sooo good…"
  • "Every experience comes with the whole environment. The staff looked like they where not happy at their working place and when our food arrived they didn’t even knew that was for us we had to guide her!"
  • "Superb food and friendly staff, the ultimate breakfast bap is delicious and they serve a great latte."

Cons:

  • "Place itself is nice although floor staff was probably hired few days earlier and no one had time to give them proper training."
  • "Food was good when it arrived but it took 50 mins to get it."
  • "Good breakfast, super filling, had to wait for a table but that was fine, would return and will be to try other menu items."
  • "The queuing system is a bit confusing at the moment, we ended up standing outside for 10 mins despite having a booking."
  • "Sorry to say that it wasnt a good experience, my friend found a long hair in her food, we both had chipped teapots, and the meaty breakfast had some disgusting sausage & beans in it."
  • "We had a delightful breakfast here. I had a more-than-generous portion of scrambled eggs and toast that was delicious. The setting is cozy and the staff was wonderful."
  • "Was very dissatisfied with our breakfast the scrambled egg was disgusting in lumps bacon was shriveled up bread wasn't toasted just heated what the potato scone was supposed to be I will never know I sent it back got a apology from the nice waitress that was it dissapoited especially with it being overpriced"
  • "Worst service ever , we have been told to wait to get the table after 20 mins of f waiting they told us no table available for you today when we start arguing with them the manager asked us to leave the restaurant, as many places I have been as many countries I have been never ever sow such a surface"

Atmosphere

  • "A laid back place with quirky decor, the food we had was great including the special."
  • "Setting is cosy & staff are top class friendly & very hard working."
  • "Singl-end has a really good vibe/atmosphere, lots of cool and quirky decorations."
  • "Visited this morning with my dog. Could have sat inside, but as it was a nice day I sat in the rear courtyard."
  • "Excellent and warm service, the staff would check in on us from time to time even though we were seated on the 2nd floor."
  • "If you are going on a sunny weekend you can sit outside and enjoy your food."
  • "Absolutely loved this place!! The staff were so kind, the atmosphere was festive (we went on Dec 23rd and the place was decorated and filled with Christmas music), and the food was outstanding."
  • "A really fantastic brunch spot. Wonderfully convenient having the second location."

Cons:

  • "Kind of crowded and we waited for around 30min to get seated."
  • "The carrot and coriander soup was perfect, and the eggs Benedict were also great. The smoked salmon lacked a balance of ingredients: way too much salmon and not much else."
  • "We sat out the back in the terrace. It felt soulless and lacked the warmth and energy of the interior."
  • "Visited twice during our stay in Glasgow. I ordered the same meal both times as I enjoyed it so much! I had the Betty with extra potato scone. The second time the food wasn’t as good as the first."
  • "Disappointed doesnt come close to our experience here today. Firstly I ordered a diet coke and was charged £2.50 and they gave me a can with 69p on the can, felt a bit cheeky."
  • "At odds with all the glowing reviews, my own experience of Singl-end, Merchant City, was very disappointing."
  • "The queuing system is a bit confusing at the moment, we ended up standing outside for 10 mins despite having a booking."
  • "We tried to get breakfast at 9am but they told us to wait outside for 10 minutes cause they had just opened and they weren't ready."
