"This cafe in the west end of Glasgow just tried to charge £2.80 for a glass of hot milk. A 64% hike in price from the week before. £1.70). Bad attitude from staff, who really didn’t seem to be that bothered that this was the case, quoting 85p for a glass of cold milk, and £2.80 for a frothy milk. I then asked for a cold milk to then be told that there was a minimum charge on card payments. What a lot of cr*p. I will not be investing anymore time or money on their brand. Disgraceful. So much for Glasgow the friendly city, What utter b*ll. Sadly, this is not the only cafe that has issues with the price of milk in Glasgow, which varies from one server to another. At a time when every penny counts, this shows signs of blatant extortionate price hikes for commercial gain, which, when coupled with a bad staff attitude, make for a place to avoid like the plague,"

Very aggressive manager and quite persistent. The rest of the staff was lovely and the coffee was great. Hope this is fixed

First time visit. Had a lovely coffee along with some sweet treats. Service was very good and would visit again. Nice chilled place.

Great little coffee/cafe. The cakes are great. It's a luck if you can find a seat or table. I do think the place needs a deep clean though. the scooter in the front window is caked in greasy dust. The annoying beepers ruin it for me.

Incredible coffee and pastries. Very cosmopolitan in nature and far better than the standard Costa fare. Very cool surroundings and very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful, we visited at around 11:30 and was just nicely busy. Would recommended the pistachio latte!

I’ve recently started a new job in the west end so I’ve been using this place a lot in the last week. Whenever I’ve been in the staff are always rushed of their feet and making sure people aren’t waiting long. The girl with red hair knows whenever I come what I’m going to order, which I really appreciate as a customer. They all do a great job the place is always moobed.

I have visited this restaurant five times in the past few weeks. It is one of my go-to spots after a walk. On each visit, I have ordered the same thing: Sanpellegrino. The prices have varied, with the first being £2.40, the second £1.20, the third £2.40, the fourth £1.20, and today's at £3.10, which was served to me by the manager himself. I am curious to see how much I will pay on my next visit.

The staff at this restaurant appear to be more focused on chatting about their weekend than on properly preparing the expensive coffees that customers are paying for. Despite giving it a third try, my experience was once again disappointing and the poor service seems to be the norm. I will not be coming back. I have found much friendlier service at the charming independent coffee shops just a few meters away.

I am disappointed to see the continued decline in standards at this restaurant. Due to its prime location, there is always a steady stream of customers, which may explain the lack of motivation to improve. One positive aspect is that they open early and close late, unlike many other coffee shops in the area that have limited hours. However, the coffee is average at best and the food options are lacking. Despite its convenience being just a minute away from my home, I cannot overlook the subpar quality of the croissants. The restaurant as a whole could benefit from a revamp as the seating areas feel outdated and uncomfortable.
