Cafe Wander in Glasgow City

We fancied a Scottish breakfast but reasonably priced and Cafe Wander was spot on. Friendly service and no-fuss good breakfast food. There is the option to create your own breakfast roll and the vegetarian breakfast was cracking. I had the full Scottish for £8.95 including toast and couldn’t finish it, but also couldn’t eat anything else until well into the afternoon! Can get busy so be prepared to wait but service is very efficient so you won’t have to wait too long. Great find!

Went in with family,service fine and food and drinks ok but limited menu, seating set up needs addressing also place needs some TLC .

Ordered the scottish breakfast food was nice except the toast wasn’t cooked enough but overall a solid breakfast. Did have an issue with giving the wrong form of egg which we then had to ask to be brought out afterward. Most of the staff seem lovely but there was one server that had really poor social skills and came across quite rude but overall would give it a 3/5

We had 3 different kind og breakfast and these were all good. Really good coffe and fresh orange juice. The staff is really efficent and friendly. When tired of sauages and eggs here you can get greek yoghurt with granola and fresh fruit. Only suggestion for improvement would be a little more yoghurt and less granola. Otherwise everything perfect 🥰

i went in at 3 pm for lunch looked at the menu for a bit then when i was placing my order i get ‘oh i should've told you we turned our grills off so all you can get is sandwiches’ turns out they turn off the grill two hours before close i work at a restaurant too and i know it can be frustrating if someone goes in before closing. But a whole 2 hours before is kinda crazy. I did not end up eating there n left.

I went here for a sandwich for lunch to take away. I didn’t have a good experience on a previous occasion, but I decided to give it another try and I wish I hadn’t bothered. I ordered a sandwich and a piece of cake and the person that served me charged me £9.25. I asked the person not to bother with the cake as it was far too expensive. A man behind the counter said “Give the lady the cake” and charged me £7.25. He was extremely pushy and I ended up with cake I didn’t want. I didn’t want to create a scene in the place, so I left. I went back to my office to have lunch. The sandwich was awful. The bread was hard, a small slice of cheese and two slices of tomato which had seen better days. The cake was hard around the edges. As this was the second time I had visited with not very pleasant results, I will not be back. It’s far too expensive for what you get.

We came here before Covid on a cheeky weekend in Glasgow and stumbled across it. On our recent ( last week ) visit we just couldn't remember where is was and then found it on our last day :) Hooray!! .... with a very poor experience of Drouthys the day before we had high expectations of this place and it really didn't disappoint. It was just as good as the last time and the comparison to the day before was stark. The service was super friendly and the food was beautifully cooked and presented, this was a great experience and restored our faith in great Scottish breakfasts.

Wonderful find, we came for a snack and upgraded to a late lunch. Tasty food, lovely staff, fabulous cozy atmosphere. A delightful find .

Wonderful little cafe in the centre of Glasgow. We went for breakfast which is currently served right up until 14:00. Great food, very reasonably priced, and amazing service - what more could you ask for. A fantastic start to the morning.

Great service, very friendly, food well prepared and reasonably priced. Excellent whole leaf tea which is always appreciated. And my dog loved it too.

Awful prices and service, this place was great under previous woman who owned it and now it is utter crap, also prices went up too massively.

Fabulous wee cafe in the heart of Glasgow. We opted for the full Scottish and Veggie breakfast which did not disappoint. The cafe was busy and had a nice atmosphere. Staff were lovely. Will return when we are next in Glasgow

Me and my partner went here for a wee bit to eat. Had the most amazing breakfast fry and gingerbread coffee. The staff are so friendly and the deserts/buns thats available will blow ur mind. They are massive and totally delicious.

I'm a semi-regular customer. Been coming here for a while and I'm never disappointed. Great place for a breakfast, good ingredients and always nice and hot. You get your choice of eggs and toast which is nice, and the prices are very reasonable for being in the heart of the city. The cafe and toilets are always nice and clean. Staff are always pleasant as well. Great place to come for breakfast, 2 minute walk from Queen Street station.

Every time I visit Glasgow this has to be the place for breakfast. Apart from regular breakfast menus to cater for veggies and vegans they offer a breakfast Burrito which is to die for. Both coffee and tea selection and quality is good too.

Two full Scottish breakfast one with poached egg second fried egg (cooked the way I love without having to ask )teas and oj .food was lovely staff friendly place was spotless

Underwhelming. Cappuccino wasnt very strong but was a nice temp. Ordered two breakfasts, the haggis was soggy with oil it seemed, lorne sausage over cooked, bacon over cooked, didn't taste great. The toast and the scrambled egg was fine. Uninspiring interior and 8.95 for a breakfast was a lot for what it was. But, it seemed to be the only place to get a breakfast in the middle of Glasgow.

Outstanding cafe - once we found it! Bit hidden down the steps. Managed to luckily get the last available table. 2 superb full Scottish Breakfasts. Set us up for the day. Good coffee too. Lovely staff. A gem.

Came here after looking at tripadvisor reviews and we weren’t disappointed. This is a proper cafe with a friendly atmosphere. Staff were lovely and service prompt. We both enjoyed the food we had which was the French toast and a Scottish breakfast and would definitely come again.

Proper breakfast. Full Scottish with lorne sausage, haggis, black pudding, potato scone the works. Tea served in a proper teapot with tea leaves. Staff smashing, all just a great find.

A cute little basement cafe, serves a variety if items. We had the breakfast rolls and they were really tasty. Good tray bakes too!

Did some research for breakfast and decided to try out Cafe Wander. Wasn’t disappointed, service was excellent, menu perfect, good prices and most importantly the food was great. Will definitely be back when visiting.

Delicious large breakfast. Great service. Busy busy Lots of people were from all round the UK so well known already.

Great place for a lovely breakfast. Service good food/drinks excellent. All very good value. All freshly cooked.

Best place for breakfast in Glasgow city centre! Bright, well priced, great staff, and really good simple food. Skip the chi-chi overpriced places and go for this.

Good place to go before the city centre shopping or heading for bus and they open at eight Service and food great and cost wise better than most

I chose to have breakfast here after reading that they served Lorne sausage (Lorne sausage seems to be very hard to find!) The cafe is down a small flight of steps into a basement so it is easy to miss from the street. The staff were friendly and the prices were good. it cost me less than £5 for the Lorne sausage in the bread roll and a mug of tea. The sandwich was divine! I will definitely return when I'm in Glasgow again.

One of the best lattes I’ve ever tried and the breakfast was amazing, perfect amount, great price as well, we will definitely be back

A welcoming little cafe with great food and coffee at affordable prices. Step down into this art deco era cafe and you won’t be disappointed. And the coffee is great, unlike most of its peer UK cafes!

Lovely place to go! Went yesterday with friend for catchup soup was lovely and baguette with humous too! Coffee was lovely good range of syrups and was inexpensive for town in total spent £19 for 3 good sized coffees with syrups a soup sandwich and...

Fabulous little place. Stopped for breakfast before catching a train, just what we needed. Fresh ingredients beautifully presented.

Hmmmm…. What can I say. Had the big breakfast, it was average. Haggis, black pudding and sausage were all cooked from frozen and the scrambled eggs - well they most probably visited the microwave before I was served them. Nothing amazing to write about. A...

I've been looking for a solid cafe in the city centre for a while now. And I was pleasantly surprised that I had managed to walk past this place several times due to it being located down some stairs. It's not particularly hidden, but it...

Went in for lunch, had baked potato with cajun chicken and cheese which was lovely, potato cooked to perfection. Other half had tuna salad which she loved. Also had a portion of wedges , a bit expensive for what you got but were nice nevertheless....

Great coffee, nice place , friendly staff , good service and decent orices and takeaway service. Near Queen St train station

So... when in Scotland you have to have a Lorne Saussage (aka a square sausage), and with out a doubt this place has the BEST! I had the triple breakfast roll with exquisite bacon with the perfect blend of crispness, and scrabled egg which was...

Very friendly and slightly quirky. Down some awkward steps but worth the detour. We popped in for breakfast with 30 mins to catch the train. Food was prompt, hot, tasty and service was friendly. Fresh squeezed orange juice is always a bonus. Busy enough to...

We checked reviews for somewhere to go for lunch on our arrival in Glasgow and chose Cafe Wander based on these and location very near to Central Station. We weren’t disappointed, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the lentil soup of the day...

Lovely atmosphere, with very kind staff and local food on the menu. Loved it! If you want a heartful British breakfast :)

Visited for breakfast , was busy , only 1 table left . Staff are very nice and food was really good too . Reasonably priced . Certainly a good find . Thanks to all at Cafe Wander .

Open early so perfect breakfast before a train. Staff were so lovely and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit

We found this cafe on a trip to Glasgow. We went back both mornings we were there. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food is excellent. Great choice on menu and prompt service. Also reasonably priced.

This place is a little gem. Very conveniently located. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Loose leaf teas (a bonus for me). And delicious food. Would definitely recommend.

Whenever I'm in Glasgow, I come to The Wander everyday for breakfast. The food is good, comes quickly, and the staff treats me like family. Nice range of breakfast and lunch offerings.

Excellent, solid breakfast at reasonable price in a central location that I was particularly grateful of after my airline cancelled two flights later that day. Extra points for them opening up a little earlier than they had planned to accommodate me, much appreciated, if I...

Went for breakfast. Pleasant cafe, excellent friendly & efficient staff. Good menu & reasonably priced. Food cooked to a very good standard - very tasty. I recommend a visit!!

Went on sat 19/11 for breakfast both my wife and i took the full traditional b/fast but my wife asked can she exchange the black pudding and haggis for a extra 2 slices of bacon the waitress said yes no problem when we asked for...

Very nice, friendly cafe, coffee was excellent. But dear lord dae something about yer scrambled eggs folks … any drier and I’d have needed a saline drip

Everything was basic. Didn’t worth the hype or my money. We went for breakfast, the coffee was no good and the breakfast dishes nothing you can’t do at your house with basic items from the supermarket.

We stumbled across this busy little cafe looking for somewhere serving late breakfasts, we were greeted straight away and got a table no problem, we had delicious breakfast baps and tea, the staff were lovely and friendly and quick service too. We would definitely eat...

Saw it on bus into city from airport and we walked the short distance back up the road to Cafe Wander. We were keen to go to a non-chain venue. Was busy, had to wait 1 min for a corner table. Swift, polite service, then...

Came upon this place when looking for somewhere for breakfast. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great choice for breakfast on the menu. We both had full Scottish breakfast which was excellent and filled us up for the rest of the day. Really good coffee...

Apparently the kitchen closes 1 & 3/4 hours before the cafe does. Closes at 5 but at 3:15 the “all day Saturday breakfast” wasn’t available because the kitchen was closing. They made up for it by adding a piece of a plastic carton to my...

Brilliant place to eat. Staff are excellent with customer service, very fast at taking orders and you don’t wait for long before your food arrives. I had a breakfast burrito and it was absolutely delicious, definitely recommend. No complaints about the breakfast that my partner...

Very friendly staff, excellent meals that are served very fast, cute furnishings. The soup of the day and cinnamon roll were amazing.

Visited for breakfast but menu looked good for lunch and snacks too. The full Scottish breakfast was great. Big mugs of tea. Good vegetarian breakfast option too. Lovely friendly service.

We ate here for breakfast whilst visiting the city centre for a gig. It’s very central and service was fine. They had a decent cake selection and coffee was good. Breakfast was basic but good value for money which is hard to come by in...

French Toast and Bacon came with one rasher of bacon. An enormous amount of eggy bread and a small sizzle of maple syrup. Proportions all wrong! I’d much rather have paid a bit more and had a good breakfast. Bacon also peely wally and tough....

Read some reviews before coming here .. was looking forward to visiting. I found the staff to be disinterested at best - the man who served us had maybe just started - (so apologies if this is the case) - he seemed a bit clueless....

Found the cafe by chance. Was warmly welcomed by the staff and seated quickly. Looking around the cafe was buzzing and staff were on their toes! I thought I was here for a long wait however a lady arrived with the menu's. Returning swiftly to...

This place does fantastic breakfasts and coffee Definitely worth checking out. Strongly recommend eating here. And reasonable prices too

Amazing cafe with 10/10 food & customer service. Got a Cajun Chicken Panini with the lentil soup which was AMAZING. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a cheap breakfast/lunch in the city centre.

Searched out this cafe on the net. It didn't disappoint. Really friendly, prompt service coupled with a light, spacious interior and the best full 'Scotish' breakfast I've had in years. Haggis, black pudding and Lorne put it head and shoulders above an English breakfast!!

Small, cramped and below street level. The perfect recipe for a great breakfast place. The service staff were a little short - they want to take your order as soon as you sit down and are impatient to get it. That said, the food is...

Popped in here for a quick breakfast based on reviews. It was pretty disappointing. Service was good but food was quite poor. Toast was pretty much charcoal, scrambled eggs over cooked, pale & bland. Mushrooms very poor quality. Tattie scone & beans were nice enough...

We enjoyed the breakfast so much the first day of our trip that we went back the second morning. The portions are large and the value is good. The staff are attentive and friendly. It's good Scottish fayre served with a smile. A tip -...

I was drawn to try this place for breakfast solely on the strength of the reviews on here and I was highly disappointed by just about everything. Firstly, it wasn't best clean. Chipped cups, dirty teapots and a smeary table. Not great. The tea pots...

Great find, looking a good breakfast and found this cafe - good freshly cooked food and friendly staff. Will definitely return to this cafe.

Lovely doggy friendly spot for coffee & breakfast in the city centre. Staff are welcoming & warm in their approach & were so accommodating with my furry companion. I very much appreciated the nice touch of bringing water, which they didn’t have to do. I...

Treating myself to a day in town, tried this wee cafe. Great choice and friendly service and the home made broth was ace. Will definitely be back

Found out about this lovely little cafe whilst looking for somewhere nearby for breakfast on my Birthday City break. It is situated just a few minutes walk away from where we're staying in St Enochs Square. The staff were lovely and friendly and our full...

Almost missed this place looking for a decent early breakfast in city centre. Opens 7.30am. This place is in a basement on West George Street underneath Stack n Still. Make sure you don't miss it as its excellent value with a great full breakfast. Will...

This place used to be great - friendly service and good food. However, all changed since new owners took over. Terrible customer service - zero interest in serving customers. Had to ask to be served for takeaway after being ignored for 5 minutes - felt...

I was staying in Glasgow on a short theatre break. I find hotel breakfasts very bland and prefer to walk out to a local independent restaurant. This was convenient for my hotel. I ordered the full Scottish breakfast with haggis, black pudding, potato scone and...

Place was crowded, tables way too close together with no protection between (we were less than 1ft away from the table next to us). Staff appeared to be struggling to tidy up tables and serve the number of customers seated which meant we waited longer...

Since this establishment changed hands the food and service has been woeful. I never had any problems with orders or quality of the food with the previous owners but now I constantly experience problems. Warm panini with cold filling more than once, waiting ages to...

Found this little gem of a place and had breakfast here rather than hotel.10 out of 10 from start to finish, every aspect of the cafe first class.very busy but defo worth it.

Great as ever check out for good quality well priced breakfasts and lunch right in Glasgow s heart the quality and choice is great

Well our table was wether cleaned nor disinfected when we were seated as there were still lots of crumbs on it... Our waitress was really nice and friendly and my french toast was tasty. The porridge however had no taste whatsoever and was only edible...

Food came before coffee which is a big no-no in the hospitality industry. Waited around 5-10 mins after the food arrived for our coffee so we were quite thirsty. Very crowded no two metre distance.

Waited 20minutes to be served and no one acknowledged us. People around us weee constantly being served however we were not given any service. A couple next to us arrived later than us and got their food before we even got served

Went in for lunch, met with several dirty tables (previous customers dishes) which were still dirty by the time we left. We had to ask for our table to be cleaned - in the times of Covid it’s even more important this is done but...

Popped in for a quick breakfast after reading good reviews online. The staff were friendly and was seated immediately. Ordered a breakfast with poached egg. The poached egg was good but the haggis, sausage, black pudding and tattie scone were dried out and rubbery and...

After all of the amazing reviews this place seemed a must, but from the start was bizarrely terrible. First we were standing on the stairs for 35 mins while there were numerous empty tables. I asked a member of staff who said she'd check if...

It is a busy and popular cafe. The staff are really competent and friendly. The food was okay … just a bit overcooked. Overall it was a good experience.

Saw the great reviews given to the cafe and it made me and my partner excited to go. We were disappointed with how little choice was available on the menu, we arrived around 4pm. We did not get served our tea or cake which left...

After spending the morning visiting Kelvingrove museum came here for late lunch. Good food with gluten free options for my wife and friendly helpful staff. Value for money in a relaxed setting, will be coming back for breakfast 👍

What a joy it was to eat breakfast here. Super food, the best staff and brilliant location. The cooked breakfast is the dogs danglies and the brilliant staff really helped make the kiddos feel welcome. They helped make it easy for us to eat out....

Hidden beneath steps, I called in for lunch and immediately knew it was going to be good because there were local workers in! I had a panini which was beautiful, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Perfectly situated just a stone’s throw from the train station, we were welcomed into this independent cafe. The full Scottish breakfast was our favourite meal on holiday - tasty and clean. We’re actually going back!

Great food and coffee. We had breakfast and the place is run very efficiently and the food is exceptional Try the breakfast burrito !!

Always come to this wee gem when in Glasgow. Lovely staff and great Scottish breakfast at a reasonable price

We found Cafe Wander by chance. Had the most amazing Scottish breakfast with tattie scone, black pudding, haggis and lorne sausage: Absolutely delicious! The staff were also very accommodating with specific (fodmap) dietary requirements. Would highly recommend the cafe.

An outstanding Scottish breakfast - perfectly cooked - lovely staff. I would highly recommend a visit here. Perfect

We wanted a full Scottish breakfast and found this place online. We were not disappointed!! Very cute interior, friendly staff and the breakfasts were fab. We liked it so much we came back all 3 days we were staying in Glasgow. Full breaky was good,...

I had some hours to kill while waiting for my train back to London so headed to Cafe Wander for lunch. I was greeted immediately by super friendly staff and offered a choice of table. They allowed me not to rush, but take my time....

Fresh, quality ingredients and super service, as always. We never pass on a chance to have breakfast here when we’re in Glasgow - always a friendly welcome. They use the best of ingredients and the proper morning rolls they have are excellent. It was great...

I was looking for a healthy breakfast and oddly maybe didn’t find it all that easy to track down a place offering porridge in Glasgow city centre. Breakfast is an important meal when you’re travelling! The two young Scottish women who were manning the place...

Very cute café with good prices! Great place to have breakfast or brunch. I recommend the breakfast rolls, you can choose the fillings

On a quick overnight on my way across the Atlantic, found this great small cafe. The staff is very friendly and made a great full Scottish Breakfast.
