I was gifted a voucher for…read moreafternoon tea so decided to go to the one at Central Station as we were heading somewhere nearby afterwards. It's not my ideal location for afternoon tea as it's loud and busy but it didn't bother us as we weren't there for the atmosphere. The two ladies working there were really friendly and took our drinks orders quickly. We both ordered tea. I love the tea a Patisserie Valerie because it's loose leaf and served in a suki teapot. We decided to sit outside and watch people go by. It was a Saturday afternoon so very busy. Our food came really quickly. I was very pleased to see scones and real clotted cream. We were also given a selection of mini jam jars which was a nice touch. Sandwiches were also really nice. The cakes on top weren't bad but it wasn't something I'd personally choose, except for maybe the chocolate one. I'm saying a-okay because I felt the tables were too small, and also the tables didn't appear to have been wiped down in a while. The staff didn't really come outside to clear things away when others had left either. But I'd say overall fast friendly service and yummy food!

I have visited this branch of Patisserie Valerie twice. Once to take away and once to sit in…read more On the taking away occasion I had a powerful hangover and a meeting (although quite an informal, friendly one) to attend. I bought a coffee and a box of macarons to take to the meeting. The coffee curing my hangover and the macarons made my colleagues even happier than I expected. They were delcious, sweet, cruncy, smooth and light. Everything a good macaron should be. So lets call that a 5 star experience. The sitting in occasion was slightly less perfect. I ordered a latte and a frangipane tart and I took a seat. There were a few other people in the cafe but it was far from busy. The staff were nice enough and my order arrived relatively quickly. Unfortunately my coffee was awful. It's not often that I abandon caffeine but this time I was forced to. The tart was ok - I'd order it again but it wouldn't go to the top of the list. So lets call that a 3 star experience. I guess that's why on balance it gets four stars. Realistically, that sounds about right. I hope the nasty coffee was a one off because I'm bound to be temped back in by the cakes soon enough.

As I was just popping in for a quick visit, I just grabbed some baked goods to go. Today is their first day of opening and my gosh, they look like a very slick operation already. I'm not sure who is behind the business but they certainly know their stuff - the place looks amazing, the food is drool-worthy and the staff were all super friendly and chatty. I couldn't resist the lure of a couple of donuts which are plain and sugar coated. I noticed some very delicious looking stuffed-brioche and got those two - plain, caramalised onion or feta and spinach filled. The total for two donuts and two brioche £10 which I thought was pretty pricey (and the only reason this is 4 rather than 5 star) - maybe they'll be the best damn brioche I've ever eaten though so I might update this review in a couple of hours. [Edited: after I posted this, I got a message from the owner to say that I should have been charged around £7.50 so there must have been a mistake at the till. I really appreciated that, so have updated the score to the full 5 stars as it was so nice of them to get in touch about it! The donut and brioche were both absolutely delicious too, by the way.] They have an epic brunch menu which I'll have to come back for - brioche French toast, eggs benny, pancakes, waffles. Everything is made fresh and they certainly know how to make you drool over the food. If you're in for lunch, there's sandwiches (made on baked in-house bread), hot dishes and salads. Seb & Mili are opening another store in the next couple of weeks in Finnieston, by Old Salty's (the blue store currently being done up) - apparently that space is amazing, so I look forward to visiting there too.

I'm giving this place a 3 star because it's quite nice, the space and all but to be perfectly…read morehonest, the food and drinks aren't all that! The staff members are lovely though! The first time I tried Seb & Mili was with Queen B herself. We went over for some lunch and chit chat! I ordered from their brunch menu a plate of waffles and bacon, a combination that can't go wrong. However, my plate weren't as impressive as I'd hoped. The waffles themselves, though tasted fine, were SO SO SO thin! Aren't waffles suppose to be fluffy and crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside? And the bacon, well ... I dunno ... weren't even crunchy? They were so pale, it was a tad questionable! I think Bri's special dish of chicken and corn was probably much better than what I got! The second time I went, I brought my friend over for coffee. She made the mistake of ordering a soy latte because boy was it baaaaadddd! They're obviously not the place to have a cuppa! They don't know how to make proper coffee at all, and add the bad management of soy milk, yikes! Her soy milk was curdling so bad that it looked like tofu. There's a certain method to making soy lattes/cappucinos, if you don't know it, don't serve it. Also, the coffee was burnt. Mine was as bitter as a car tyre. Added like 3 teaspoons of sugar to try and save it. Conclusion, don't order coffee from here. They have homemade cakes though, which are pretty ok I guess. We tried the muffins and brownies! Muffins are pretty decent but brownies were far too sweet for my liking. Perhaps a super sweet tooth would love it? Again, the space is lovely! Green and very comfy. The staff members are sweethearts too! They kinda save it for me. But they really need to reevaluate what they're serving their customers! The food can be so much better!

I was pure curious at trying this establishment of amazing looking cakes. So when the CMYE Brunch…read moreClub popped up on events, I just had get my name on that 'I'm in' list. I thought if their cakes looked that amazing, the brunch must be amazeballs. I entered the grand looking coffee shop with walls of mirrors and a counter of cakes on a very dreicht Saturday morning. I was a bit late but fortunately when I arrived people had just ordered, I quickly picked from the menu French Toast (I knew what I wanted before I ordered to be honest) and a pot of Breakfast Tea. There was 10 fabulous Yelpers and we all picked a nice mix of various brunch meals. When the dishes hit the posh tables they looked pretty tasty. My tea was lovely and the French toast was a tasty brioche bread with a wee bowl of maple syrup to drizzle over. Now, don't get me wrong it did taste nice but I've had better and I felt like I could have had another slice, especially at the price they were charging. Now this place is not cheap. I knew that the cake was steep as I had seen the branch in Glasgow Central. Not only were my teeth thinking of falling out with the amount of sugar those mahoosive cakes have but my eyes were popping out with the prices. I really wanted to try the French toast with bacon but I just couldn't see myself paying over £7 for it. Maybe when I'm rich 'n' shiz. The staff were lovely and accommodating. I would like try their lunch menu and a slice of cake to see if they taste as good as they look. Firstly though I'll need to save up for the visit. So if anyone would like to support my next visit, donations are very welcome.

Wow I have just been to Greggs Gordon street and have never been so upset by customers and staff…read more I went in to Greggs and this woman said something offensive to me, so I leaned over and said sorry was that aimed at me, I asked 3 times and she said who else is it aimed at. I said I'd rather wait for my order until she leaves, drawing me dirty looks and said " look at the state of you, dirty trousers ya tramp" and I said "excuse me who you think your talking to you smelly tramp" Mandy said you need to watch you language or you need to leave and I'm like do you not hear what she says. The customer muttered something I pointed and said don't speak to me like that. Customer said dont you point at me or I'll hit you. So I pointed again and she went to hit me but stopped they ignored that Mandy kept muttering something along the lines of I'm sorry about this, don't worry and take the food for free we're sorry. When asked they didn't hear anything she said, she was closer to the customer than me, she should have asked both to leave and she didn't and she shouldn't have gotten involved personally but she did. This was clearly this customer can do nothing wrong in the eyes of Mandy and other staff and I'm the big bad customer for defending myself. CCTV will clearly show I didn't start a thing. I can't advise strongly enough to stay away from this Greggs Gordon street as when your face don't fit they side against you no matter what the situation

As much I am a big fan of cupcakes I would have liked a little choice of something else.

The first one was a gift so I don't know the price the second one was £2.25. Now both tasted awesome. I genuinely could not fault them at all, but I think £2.25 might be a wee bit pricey? Granted it is a super deluxe cup cake but it seems expensive in my opinion. However I am open to be wrong on this front and it is only a small gripe. The part where it loses stars is on the shop itself, I struggle to know how it is going to survive . It felt totally bare to me with hardly anything on the shelves at all. The picture I had in my head of this place was really let down by the reality when I got there. Great cup cakes that you will enjoy, but just not enough happening to rate above a three star score for me.

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.
