It was a rainy day: drizzling : that consistency of rain that makes you feel a bit run down. I was met with the most delicious, warming coffee: a very smooth latte, that had such a lovely taste that there was no need for a drop of sugar. They were out of most of their pastries by the time I sat in--due to their popularity, I have no doubt. I chose one of their remaining items: a small cake that had a touch of lemon and a raspberry on top of a creamy frosting. It was delicious--a welcomed treat when I felt in need of a pick me up. I did not have a chance to test their food so am unable to comment. Do note however: This is a VERY small place. Cozy to be sure, but small and by no means for larger groups. It is ideal for the soloist and duos to come in and have a fairly quick coffee, cake, and food (I assume). This is NOT a place to study. There are no comfortable lounge chairs, chairs or tables. The seating is composed of stools that reside at two bars. It's kind of reminding me of Italian style cafes where you drink your espresso at the bar, across from the barista who just served it to you (though in Rome, they don't offer you stools even!). Given the level of their coffee and cake, I'll be back again soon.

There are no bathrooms which is a downfall but it was close enough to our hotel. I got the chorizo bagel both days I went and a latte. They have display cases of baked goods and sandwiches.

The decor is charming and comfortable. I was there around teatime and they were doing a good business. The only negative was a couple of inconsiderate customers playing videos loudly on their phones. For the sake of other customers, perhaps the staff might have asked them to knock it off. I can also understand why they didn't. I was there in September 2021.

The interior reminds me of my grandmas living room, and the teacups are pretty much copycats from those I collect at home (when is 22 tea cups ever too much?) Pal and I ordered two teapots: earl grey for me, apple crunch for her. We weren't hungry, but I wish we were cause the meringue and cream with berries sounds deelish!! Loved everything about this place; the welcoming and chatty owner with her retro hairdo, the 1940 s music in the background, the homy cosy feel, the cute china. Perfect for a comforting cuppa on a grey day. Will go back for more!

The solution in Glasgow is to forget boring run-of-the-mill 'full' anythings for breakfast or brunch and go to Papercup instead. I don't even drink coffee, which they are known for. I need to try a hot chocolate here one of these days. My friend ordered an oat milk one on this visit and said it tasted like a dessert in itself. Vegan, veggie, or gluten-free? No problem. Papercup has you covered. I've come here on multiple occasions and requested gluten-free bread without anyone batting an eye. Most American restaurants seem to want to make you feel like a criminal to even ask. My egg omelette on this visit had so many yummy toppings and was so big, bread wasn't even needed. It's a wonder these wizards can make such creations in such a small space! We happened to nab the corner table directly across from the cake case and I watched as our food was made with so much love. A drizzle of sauce, a squeeze of lime...this is the kind of place you want to get behind because they treat you like part of the family. Caveat: this place is small and you'll want to go at downtimes if you can (avoid breakfast/brunch on the weekends, for example) or else you'll be stuck outside waiting for a table to free up. You'll see locals popping in for their usual coffee orders and a muffin, then pop back out. For such a small shop, they have an oddly large unisex bathroom in the back. I remember the first time I had to use their facilities and being pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the size of a closet like you'd find in London. But let's face it, a place like this wouldn't exist in London in the first place, would it?

The vibe is cute and was very crowded on a weekday morning! For food, we were happy with the breakfast burger and the stracciatella toast (pesto, strawberry, tomato, ricotta). The bread and other ingredients were really fresh. The smoothie and brownie was just ok Overall would recommend this spot if you're in the area!

I'm sure you hear this a lot, but the breakfast we had at this restaurant was the best breakfast…read moreI've ever had, no doubt! I had the eggs Benedict, which was the perfect portion, cooked to perfection, and left me wanting more. The sauce was light and mixed with the egg in a way that was just indescribable. The French toast with bacon offered a great mix of sweet and savory. Syrup was available if you wanted it, but honestly, you didn't need it. My wife had the fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy, cheesy, served over toast with bacon and hash browns. This is something she gets often, and she has had none better than the ones here. The service was excellent. It's not the biggest restaurant, but the tables seem to move fairly quickly, and they have outdoor seating on warmer days. The whole experience was a delightful way to start our day. So if you happen to be in Glasgow, Scotland, you have to check out the Wilton Street Pantry, you will not be disappointed!

Cosy, warm, lots of wood and cool lighting - and super friendly. Looks like an outpost of Artisan Roast - and apparently it is independent but AR is involved. If the aesthetic didn't give it away, the place stocks AR coffee, cakes and bread. Food is simple - alongside cakes they have bagels, toast, yogurt and granola and do sandwiches at lunch. They will be open later in the evening than some other places - I think he mentioned 6 or 7pm but can't remember which! I only had a cappuccino and a chat with the guy running the place but the service was warm and friendly and the coffee was excellent. Competition for the also excellent CC&T a block along and The Hidden Lane Cafe but a great addition to the local area.

The main seating area has a small play area for the little ones which is great to keep them entertained while you enjoy your latte! There is also a quieter seating area outside of the main cafe if you wish to avoid the noise that comes with toddlers and babies at feeding time! The food is simple (soup, sandwiches, paninis), yet tasty and freshly prepared. The home-baked cakes and tray bakes are always delicious. My favourites are the Maltester Traybake and the Mint Aero Traybake... yum! The staff are, on the whole, friendly and helpful. A great spot for young families to enjoy a simple, inexpensive lunch out!

Laboratorio is a unique name for a coffee shop. We were greeted by a wonderful staff and noticed that they were quite busy at the time we visited. The store is small, with seating both inside and outside. They also have pastries available, but we ended up just getting the coffee. I ordered an iced latte, which was probably a mistake because it was a bit diluted and the coffee flavour was weaker. My partner got the hot version, and it was much better because you could taste the beans more clearly. Overall, I was very satisfied with the coffee. Just a reminder to avoid the iced latte next time! Good service and great coffee!

With a bright, inviting interior and plenty of seating it's a brilliant place to grab a coffee and some lunch with friends. Having a bit of a niche in the area, I was surprised by how affordable the menu was, with a large breakfast and a towering hot chocolate costing not much more than a fiver. I'm yet to try any of the lunch options, but a quick browse of the menu has guaranteed that I'll be returning to give it a go! The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow, but as I've only visited for leisurely catch ups it's never been an issue for me. I found the food to be great quality for the price and I challenge you to find a cup of coffee as good on Cowgate, although some of the staff seem a little bit unsure of what coffee is which. I expect this is just teething issues and I imagine will be rectified with time! Overall I'm really impressed with Alessio's and glad to see something like this open so close to home. If the cafe had WiFi then I don't think I'd ever leave, it seems like a great place to get some work done when I can't quite face my office walls any more!
