Pena - Menu

The veggie panini they have is great. I can barely tell it's vegetables, very filling and tasty. I have also tried their espresso which I would rate as a 7/10.

These guys sell amazing coffee and food at a very good price. they usually have breakfast/ lunch deals that are really worth going for! The cakes are.....lovely! Whenever I go there I buy at least 2-3 slices of their banana bread or whatever else it's available.

I have visited before for a toastie and coffee. The toasties were perfect crisp on the outside and melted on the inside. The coffee was powerful and robust. The Japanese food from the pop up kitchen was tasty but not the most flavoursome Japanese in the west end. The staff were lovely and the location and atmosphere is perfect!! View menu

I swithered whether to point this out to at the time but decided not to. The veggie haggis sandwich is really bad I’m afraid. You have to do something more interesting than just shoving veggie haggis on bread with leaves and tomato and toasting it. Check out Papercup on Great western road for inspiration. Very very disappointing.

They do a deal which is £4 for a coffee and toastie (cheese only). The sandwiches look really tasty but my advice would be don't get it toasted mine was just burnt and lacking any joy when I ate it. Whatever sandwich toaster they are using they should take the sandwich out quicker or get a better machine. He also got my friend's order wrong and gave her a sandwich with halloumi cheese in (she's a vegan). I got 4 tips/slurps of my coffee cup for the price I see on the menu that a filtered coffee otherwise starts at 2.80. We left to go elsewhere rather than pay that. Guy was smiley and friendly when he served us though. A whole heap of coffee shops are really taking the mickey with the prices...

This is an extraordinary and delightful little shack on the edge of Glasgow University campus. Decor is rough chipwood panels, and chinese lanterns etc; on a chilly lunchtime it was lovely and warm. You order a toastie and hot drink for a total of £5 and they'll bring it upstairs to you; there are a few tables, benches and stools, and you're encouraged to share tables. I and colleagues went twice for lunch a few days ago; there were just two options veg and non veg, consisting of big chunks of baguette crammed with all sorts of ingredients. The non veg one had chorizo, feta, roast vegetables, etc etc really filling, and came toasty hot and not burnt. They do cake etc as well. The only minus... View menu

Pena is great for Glasgow uni students as it is located right on campus. I like going there to do some reading or catch up with friends when I need a change from the reading room or library, it's nicer than the uni canteen. I like the decor and the upstairs area in particular, it's very atmospheric. Sometimes it can get busy but usually it's fine to work for a couple of hours. Coffee prices are all right for the area (everything is 2 pounds), and the 5 pound lunch deal which includes coffee is also very reasonable. They also host various other events, last weekend they had a Japanese pop-up lunch which I went to and it was excellent. The service isn't always perfect, I've had to ask for a fo...

Pena is a quirky little cafe with a hipster vibe. It seems to be very popular with the university student crowd who were sat studying in abundance when I visited. Along with my friend we headed over to Pena for lunch and a coffee. The food menu isn 't extensive, but all the options sounded lush. I went for the 'Pomodoro ' toastie yummy melted mozzarella, basil pesto, roast cherry tomato, baby spinach and parma ham served between well toasted seven seed bread. The toastie came with a cute little pot of salted popcorn. Nom! Slightly random? But totally cool with me! I accompanied my toastie with a latte. I had requested a skinny latte but was told they only used whole or soy milk. I 'm not usu...

As others have commented, this is a cute little place hidden down one of the lanes in Glasgow 's West End with the main crowd being locals/students. My partner was researching good places for brunch online and this place kept on popping up so we made a couple of attempts to get down but it was shut. The general consensus is get there early as if they run out of food, they will close, and they 're very popular! We finally got lucky on Wednesday and due to the lovely weather Glasgow has had this week, we even got a little table outside. Frankie was a delight and explained everything as we made it clear we were first time visitors, not regulars. She was having problems getting the window shutte... View menu
