You'll share your table with the climbing centre locker room, I kid you not. But don't let that put you off, coz this is a great place to have a bite and a cuppa. It's cheap, tasty and unbelievably friendly. From the outset the staff seemed to have love and pride in their jobs. They were happy, that rubbed off on us and we knew we'd have a good afternoon. You don't have to climb to dine, but you can watch on in awe and it's a pretty busy place with peeps of all ages shooting up those knobbly walls. We popped in for haggis nachos, beef enchiladas and soup. The green lentil soup was off (as in gone sour), but that was sorted pretty efficiently by the chef. But the chilli beef enchiladas and nachos were pretty decent for £6 each. It's a funny environment to sit eating a spot of lunch, but somehow it worked for all three of us. Friendly, buzzing and inspiring. A happy place. :-)

On entry there is the gorgeous converted church which has been converted for the use of the climbing fraternity but has kept some of the original features such as the rafters and beams and the stain glass window which dominates the cafe. The menu is a mixture of healthy things such as ginger and soy noodles and a variety of low fat protein options as well as interestingly flavoured paninis and snacks such as nachos. We went for a thai chicken panini and nachos with vegetarian haggis. Its one of the best panini's ive tasted and exactly the flavour that comes to mind when i think of thai, creamy, coconut flavour with a hint of spice. For a cafe with such a wee amount of space the things they make are phenomenal. The better half also says that the nachos and vegetarian haggis were gorgeous too. A very inventive and healthy cafe with an interesting view well worth another visit!!

Love their food but what I love even more, is how they help to feed the homeless and/or those in need. Whether you're a paying customer or someone in need, EVERYONE EATS THE SAME SOUP! Bravo!!! The Wild Olive Tree is located on Nelson Mandela's Place, inside the St. George's Tron Church of Scotland. The lovely cafe is on the main level. You walk in and get seated for table service; or you can order takeout. This is not a Soup Kitchen per se, but if you're a person of need, you can enter via a side door for free soup and hot beverages to go. They have been in operation since 2015, and in their first three years of operation, have given away 12,000 meals and 13,500 hot beverages! Again, BRAVO!!! All profits and donations from the Cafe go to their two charity partners: Glasgow City Mission and Bethany Christian Trust, to support their ongoing work with some of the city's most vulnerable people. The charities also help with work placement and employability training. How awesome is that?!?! The team at The Wild Olive Tree consists of paid staff, volunteers and work placements. This team of people are awesome! The food is homemade and delicious, customer service is so friendly, and they're so thankful for your visit. If I lived in Glasgow, I'd be a regular customer for sure!

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.

First you go down an alley, only to reveal a secret enclave of an antique store, corner shop, and the tearoom. The square itself is fun to explore and great for photos. Once we sat down in the charming tearoom, we were greeted by a friendly and accommodating server. We ordered the afternoon tea. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with yummy finger sandwiches and delectable scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a lovely afternoon tea spot for all ages!

I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!

The staff was very friendly, and as I sat there for about an hour, I was impressed with the enthusiasm they used to greet each and every customer who came in.

Took me awhile to find it as it is slighty hidden down a side street but it was worth the hunt in the end. I was so impressed that I even took my mum there one day. I used to go frequently when I worked along at Paisley Road Toll, my company would always order from them when we had clients or directors up for down south. Those gourmet sandwiches were scoffed in no time. I was always partial to the Singapore noodles but I was drooling lots over serveral of their gourmet sandwiches. Yum! Not literally though. I just loved how their served them with a little hand drawn love heart on top of the wrapper incasing the sandwich. It always gave me a wee smile.

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.

"Pals" would be set in what is actually quite a cosily comforting scene - reminiscent of 80s coffee shops with their wee open booths, brown formica, plastic sauce bottles and those wee vinegar decanters your gran used to have. The staff are friendly, efficient and what you'd call "characters". There is an ever-rotating cast of taxi drivers, local shop owners and just regular Joes popping in for their rolls in bacon, lattes (always pronounced with no Ts audible) to go and their soup. I actually really love popping in here now and again, as there is always a funny story to overhear and their food is cooked to order and tasty. A roll in bacon is always a good shout, never been disappointed. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and looking for no-frills eats.

The Wee Bakers provides some welcome relief on a street that is full of nothing but newsagents…read more There is also a few other bakeries further up the street towards Partick, though the Wee Bakers is in my opinion the best of the bunch. The prices are very cheap in the Wee Bakers - for example, it is only £1.55 for a can of Irn Bru, a hot scotch pie and a chocolate chip cookie. There is also a great choice of not only various cakes and pastry food such as sausage rolls and bridies, but also hot soup, filled rolls, tea and coffee. Service is very quick - there is obviously stuff that has already been heated in advance so you don't have to sit and wait for long, though the food is always heated through properly; it's not like in Greggs where they give you a pie that has been sitting out all afternoon and has gone cold. The ladies who work here are also very pleasant and friendly. My only real complaint about this place is that it looks a bit too old and traditional - it would be nice to see the cakes sitting out in more pristine and modern storage trays etc. However, all of the food I have tasted is excellent - the scotch pies in particular taste unique and are possibly the best I've ever eaten (trust me, I've tried them at just about every football ground in Scotland!), while the donuts and cookies are gorgeous, even though I feel terribly guilty every time I indulge in one. T This place absolutely wipes the floor with the two Greggs nearby, not just in terms of the food, but the service too.
