Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "The waiter was so lovely and knowledgeable."
  • "Service however is excellent and the main reason to return."
  • "The staff were really lovely and accommodating to our food needs."
  • "Service was amazing - attentive and chatty. Just generally very nice people."
  • "Friendly service and the food was served quick even though it was busy."
  • "Every single member of staff was so welcoming and accommodating to us and our babies."
  • "The staff are friendly and the place busy, however the noise from the kitchen and customers was so loud."
  • "Service was excellent and quick to turn over the food."

Cons:

  • "Initially entering, the staff was so lovely! I ordered the mexican skillet (which I have ordered before and loved) and my friend ordered the harissa humous which she enjoyed. I couldn’t eat the mexican skillet this time round because it tasted horrible."
  • "Guy with a ponytail should maybe be re-trained in customer service... He really made us feel unwelcomed once we finished."
  • "Terrible service. Had to wait outside on the pavement in a queue with people ordering takeaways, when we wanted a table."
  • "Food was good but staff is dishonest. They try to sell carton juice for freshly pressed orange juice."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Had a super tasty breakfast and my partner had the vegan pancakes, they were phenomenal!"
  • "Lovely big portion, great flavours, and beautifully presented."
  • "The salmon was good, super filling, but I think I would’ve preferred for it to be smoked salmon instead."
  • "Delicious tasty food, welcoming and friendly staff thought we might have to wait a while for a table as very popular."
  • "The food is incredible, with great portions and a decent range of choice on the menu."
  • "Amazing service and food. One must visit if u are in Glasgow. Worth the hype and the wait."
  • "Best cafe in Glasgow for brunch! Always a queue so plan ahead (they don't take bookings) and its very cozy inside space wise."
  • "Their coffees are great and their food is fabulous. As someone from Texas, their breakfast burrito is one of the most authentic I've had since moving to Glasgow."

Cons:

  • "Food is meh, nothing too special, overpriced and very basic, portion sizes are good."
  • "Food used to be excellent but like many places increasingly going downhill."
  • "The presentation used to be lovely, they had edible flowers on. There were great specials but not so much now."
  • "I was a bit disappointed when we walked in as there’s nobody greeting you and I had no clue what should we be doing."
  • "Enjoyed my food but felt uncomfortable when they had a film crew in filming the place without any customers consent."
  • "Very disappointing and expensive. It’s part of the new wave breakfast trend with swirls of sauce around the plate, etc."
  • "A lot of hype about this place. Not sure why. Food ok, but too breakfasty and a little pricey."
  • "This place is nice but be prepared to que and que for a while!"
