It was pretty rainy out so we needed a place to hang out for a bit while we figured out what to do before we could check into our hotel, and we were able to have a leisurely breakfast and coffee here. The cafe is really cute and the food and coffee were delicious. Bf got a full Scottish breakfast and I got a french toast grilled ham and cheese sandwich. They were excellent prices. I wish we could go back.

This is a solid four stars and one that's very much bordering on the five star... and that's after…read morethe first visit! Now, I really do need to thank the first lady of Yelp Glasgow for pointing me in the direction of this joint. Lovely lady wife: I spotted a new biz for you Me: *insert far too many biz related questions for a throwaway comment* LLW: That's far too many biz related questions for a throwaway comment. So with them questions bouncing around in my head like little anti sheep as i tried to sleep, the morn arrived and the decision was made to visit said joint and check it the fluck out. And that I did. The order was thus: Flat white and special of roast chicken ciabatta with mushrooms, rocket and a tarragon sauce. The noises made during the consumption of said order are far too rude to be written down on this popular review website. Suffice to say that the four stars (almost 5) could have been for the ciabatta alone. (i'm trying to say it was tasty). Add to the mix good service, pleasant decor and radio 6esque music and you have yourself yet another shit hot cafe/lunch/breakfast/sitty/to-go(y) type place in Finnieston. My advice? Get here. Get here soon.

I always seem to struggle to find a good sandwich shop. I'm not a fan of chain sandwich shops where…read morethe food never tastes that fresh or it's overly expensive for what it is. I saw a sign for this place in the West End, and my growling stomach led me to it. It's a lot smaller than I imagined it to be however the tables are like benches so it actually sits quite a few people and it's not awkward to sit beside someone you don't know. There's a good selection of food and the sandwiches and rolls are definitely worth the money. I had 'The Works' which was a full breakfast that once after eating, I thought I was going to have to be rolled out the shop. The waiter was quite a quirky guy which I liked and he was very friendly and quick to serve. The chef also came down and he too was very nice. I liked the feel of the place, we weren't hassled all the time by waiters and it's a place where you can get an actual lunch that doesn't involve burgers or cardboard sandwiches.

I love a good sandwich but heavens knows I can't seem to make one myself. I pretty much go for the…read moresuper lazy and boring fillings when I know I need to get more on there. Oh well, I have places like Great Western Sandwich Co to sort me out. I needed a sandwich. I wanted it fast. And I had £10. I was going down GWR so stopped off here as it's one of the few places along here that I haven't tried (pls forgive me, GWS Co). I had heard good things from Yelpers though so I happily handed over my £10 (and got £5 change, mind you) for a Polo Loco sandwich. The space here would be good for hanging out in, there is actually more seating than I expected so I might eat in next time (although I don't think there are customer loos). The Polo Loco has: chicken marinated in cayenne, paprika and lime, sour cream, avocado, black beans and fried potatoes. Who puts potatoes on a sandwich? I didn't notice that when I ordered, or when I ate half of it but I've started to accept that carb-on-carb action is pretty standard in Glasgow. The sandwich didn't take long, I'm guessing around 3-4 minutes and was nicely presented for takeaway. It would cost £1 extra if I was going to eat in but I had places to be. I had the delicious smell of my sandwich taunting me the whole way home and I'm happy to say, after scoffing half of it that it really is delicious. The chicken is generous, the other toppings all work really well too and it's a hearty beast that I haven't been able to finish. Yet.

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!

Also has your usual meal deals, crisps, fruit, juice, and some cakes (they're only there if you go early enough though, sad times). It does get busy, and the paninis do take 5-10 minutes to be made, but it's worth the wait... So there you have it, no messin', straight up: Paninis.

The tuna melt is probably my favorite so far. Not much else to say. Get here at around noon if you want to be in and out. The staff is friendly.

It's not the most eclectic mix of food compared to other lunchtime joints in the area, but it's affordable and tasty, so hit it up.

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!

I got the NYC - pastrami, gherkin, cheddar and mustard. It was freshly made and nicely presented in a tray and then placed in a bag which meant the greasy cheese didn't soak through. While the cafe is small, it's got a nicely friendly vibe and Dean was really chatty and friendly. I'll definitely be back soon as I want to try the dessert toastie menu (mischievous melts) which sound amazing!

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.
