I'd have to say that this cafe is pretty much my favorite one while I lived in Glasgow. I…read morefrequented it almost once a week. Now that I'm back in America, I miss this place a lot! Glaswegians, your cafes have definitely spoiled me and I can't find anything that compares to this in the U.S. When you walk in, you automatically get this cozy and warm feeling. Try to get a seat in the upstairs dining area, because this is where you will feel the most warmth. I also like sitting in the bar stools by the window because I like looking outside at the rain. If you find yourself waiting for a table, just take that time to browse the pastries, savory foods laid out, and even their selection of cookbooks. Their selection of cake and tarts change daily, but if they have leftovers one day then they serve the leftovers the next day until they are gone, but a lot of the time their pastries sell out on the first day. Bonus to this is that your pastries are definitely fresh! But the pastries still taste good even if they are a day old. Trust me. My go-to pastries were the Belgian Chocolate Cake or the vanilla custard tarts. This cake has hazelnuts inside of it and is served with raspberries, chocolate bits, dusted with sugar on top. If you love chocolate, this cake is the way to go. The vanilla custard tarts reminded me of home (because I would get Egg Tarts at Chinese bakeries and this vanilla custard tart tasted just like a egg tart) The only difference is that the tart at Kember & Jones had flaky layers of crust, which made the tart even better. My go-to drinks are hot chocolate or the Moroccan Fresh Mint Tea. The hot chocolate is served with foam and little chocolate bits on top. The Mint tea is served in a clear glass, but it comes hot (which was weird because I didn't think you would serve hot drinks in a glass) but I understood why because it has a bunch of mint leaves in it that changes the color of the drink to a light tan. It's cute and if you have a sore throat, it will make you feel better. Other things that I have tried and loved were the Warm Waffle (because it was served with syrup and fresh fruit), the French Lemonade (It was pink lemonade with a little bit of sourness), and the macarons (They make different ones each week. Try all of them because they go fast! I have to say during Christmas time their Christmas pudding one tastes pretty good, too.) Last thing to note is that the staff is very nice. I never really feel pushed to leave. They are polite and attentive.

Nic's made my daughter a box of beautifully decorated donuts for her birthday that she was able to pick up on her way to class the morning of her birthday. The staff at Nic's were super helpful and even allowed my daughter to pick up the surprise baked goods at 9:15 when they only opened at 10 AM. And she reported that they were delicious! I was able to order, prepay, etc. - super easy! Thanks so much Nic's for making my daughters abroad birthday so special!

I'm a massive fan (see previous review of their St Enoch Square branch) but the only day I can make it to Nic's is a Saturday due to their opening hours and me working relatively far away. So when I heard their new establishment would be open til 11pm, 7 days a week, I was pretty excited to say the least! It's so great that the Nic's concept has really taken off, especially since most new places in Glasgow seem to be massive chain burger joints these days!!! For those who might not be aware, Nic's NYC Deli is just that. They serve glorious pressed sandwiches with delicious flavour combos, hot dogs, taco bowls and pancakes among other tasty offerings - like their amaaaazing doughnuts and American goodies such as Twinkies (which I definitely want to try at some point, just because!) This branch also has the extra addition of crepes (sweet and savoury!) so those who frequented this place as a Crêpe à Croissant can still get their fix. There's always the worry that another branch won't quite have the same feel as the one you're used to, but I'm happy to report that this definitely isn't the case with this one. I absolutely adore the decor, it's really cool without looking like it's trying too hard and the whole place looks fab! As for the food, it is as delicious as ever! The bf opted for a chili dog last night as he hadn't tried their hot dogs at all yet, and he absolutely scarfed it down, totally loved it. I got their LA Club Lite (chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and either chipotle or dijon mayo) since I hadn't had that one yet and I flipping love avocado and bacon together. It was brilliant, the bacon was done extremely well which I love, and their ciabatta bread is very tasty indeed. We were gonna get some doughnuts to take away, but our server offered us a free one each since they've just opened! Result!! I've got a Snickernut sitting in its wee bag under my desk right now, but since it's lunchtime I have a feeling it might disappear fairly soon... What more can I say? The staff are great, the food is great, the prices are great too - I think all in we paid about £12 for our food and a drink each which, for the quality and size of everything is pretty darn good! It's extremely reassuring to know that if I feel the need for a Nic's I can just pop along and get one...the downside being this might happen far too frequently from now on!!!

I popped in to get a sandwich takeaway as I was on my way to an appointment. Their toastie selection is pretty mouthwatering: there's a haggis option, pulled pork, tuna, pastrami and halloumi - as well as your standard cheese only option. 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!

The upstairs may look simple in some photos but it has a skylight throughout and you can view the greenery of the main dining floor below. Such a unique setting. If we had energy, we would have gone to the bars. The food included traditional Scottish eats along with modern items like tacos (which we skipped because we come from the land of great Mexican food.) Fav was the trio of traditional "spreads". One was meat, one was carrot, one was potato. You could never guess by description or photo but it was great since I was looking for traditional Irish food. It was farther from our hotel but worth the recommendation by our concierge. A bottle of rose for us was 30 pounds. Easy. Service was only okay for us. Food and atmosphere stood out.

The atmosphere is gorgeous -- a bright glass ceiling, lush plants all around, and a rustic stone floor that creates the perfect mix of romantic and relaxed. It feels ideal for a date night but also welcoming for families and friends. The food here is definitely on the high-end side, and while the portions are small for the price, what you're really paying for is excellence. Every bite showcases the chefs' skill, creativity, and attention to detail. The quality and flavor are absolutely superb -- the kind of dining experience you simply won't find anywhere else. We ordered the Pigeon Breast, Bramble, Chicory, Walnut , the Tenderstem Broccoli and the Organic Arran Leaf & Herb Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette, and both dishes completely blew us away. The flavor combinations were thoughtful, unique, and perfectly balanced. This is one of those special spots worth treating yourself to at least once. Whether it's a romantic evening or a celebration with friends, it's an unforgettable dining experience on one of Glasgow's most charming lanes.

I also started with some soup. The soup was bigger than expected! I couldn't finish it otherwise I wouldn't be hungry for my main. It came with some bread to dip. It was good.

Ok, so I'm writing this review on Colonel Mustard's launch day, having tried one sandwich, so maybe…read moretake it with a pinch of salt, but so far, so good. The deal here is made to order sandwiches. You decide whether you want a basic sandwich (on brown or white bread), a toastie panini, bagel or wrap. Then you pick a couple of fillings (extras for 70p each) and a dressing. You can add soup if you want it, or you can have your lunch made up as a salad instead. Baked potatoes are another option. They even offer jumbo hot dogs. The friendly, chatty staff take your order and hand you an order number and, five minutes later you get your food. It's take away only at the moment, but the space is big enough that they could probably add a table or two if they wanted to at a later date. Naturally, filled rolls are on the menu too, both breakfast and lunch options here, with toast and croissants available too. They sell hot and cold drinks and, interestingly, milkshakes. I think I'll have to come back for one of these - they make their own vanilla ice cream in store and have a selection of toppings to go on it, so if they milkshakes are made with the ice cream they could be pretty good. How was my food? Well, I messed up. I wasn't thinking it through and I ordered a panini filled with chicken caesar, cucumber and mustard. Let's be honest, cucumber doesn't really work in a panini, does it? Somehow, though, I got away with it and my panini was pretty great. Seriously generous on the big chunks of chicken breast and, although it didn't look huge, it was pretty filling. I'm reserving the fifth star for when I've had time to work my way through more of the menu but, as I say - so far, so good.

I really do like the concept here and while the sandwich I got was delicious, it wasn't really as…read morefilling as I thought it would be with all the veg piled in to it. The student discount makes it somewhat comparable to various lunch deals in the area if you're buying a drink and crisps along side your sandwich, coming in just over £4.50. I really wish there was more seating as the one bit of bar seating available is taken as soon as three or four people walk in. That's ok, there was a bit of wall across the seat to sit on while eating lunch. The ice cream is quite lovely as well, but it doesn't compare to University Cafe down the road and it's a bit messy if you order a cone with a topping. Mine was dripping down the sides of the cone the second I was given it, but I ate it quick enough- it didn't really matter too much. The service was a bit slow when the students started rolling in, we were left waiting quite a while for one sandwich. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. I will be back for sure to try other items available on the menu.
